After TikTok was launched abroad, it quickly became popular.

Although similar competing product Musical.ly was established earlier, it has accumulated a lot of users first.

But at this time, Musical.ly did not have much funds, and the founders were struggling to find their first financing.

And Luo Xiu, holding a large amount of money returned from investing in Uber, is crushing his competitors without any reason.

This was the first time he felt that he could carve out a bloody path with money.

In the past, we faced richer opponents like BAT. We could only rely on foresight and skills to win with difficulty, or we could barely avoid being defeated.

But this time, it was like the Liushen costume went out and directly defeated the whiteboard costume on the opposite side.

These two feelings are different.

However, Luo Xiu also knows that the current Musical.ly cannot be considered a real rival of TikTok.

TikTok is still too small and has not really touched the interests of the Internet giants in the United States and the United States.

The real rivals in the future should be Facebook, or even the world’s Internet hegemon, Google.

Although the style of TikTok is different from theirs, there is only so much Internet time and so much advertising expenses. If you get more, others are bound to get less.

Just like in China, Penguin has shifted its biggest competitor from Alibaba to Byte.

Luo Xiu felt inexplicably excited when he thought that he would be a dragon crossing the river in the future, challenging other people's local snakes in a foreign country.

This metaphor is not quite right. Judging from the size, he is a dragon, and Luo Xiu is now a snake? It is also wrong, it should be an earthworm.

…

After TikTok gained a little fame abroad, it was quickly reported by domestic media.

In particular, they discovered that the founder of TikTok was actually Luo Xiu, which aroused heated discussion among netizens.

"I heard that the reason why Luo Xiu sold part of his shares in Uber was to use the money to develop a short video application abroad."

“I heard from seniors studying abroad that many young people now like to play TikTok and find it very fresh.”

"Why don't you invest the money in China? Why don't you donate the money to poor children in mountainous areas?"

"Rich people have gone abroad, which shows that the domestic investment environment is not good."

"I heard that the development team is in China, and the things we make ourselves cannot be used by Chinese people, but can only be used by foreigners. For this reason, I will blacklist Luo Xiu for the rest of my life."

"I'm not very good at blackmail. Add me."

…

Luo Xiu felt a little speechless when he saw the comments on the Internet.

However, since he is also a big V with tens of millions of fans, and as an Internet expert, he knows that the most effective way to clean up the scandal is to transfer the negative information to others and find someone to take the blame.

And the person who takes the blame must be someone that everyone hates and makes people want to spit when they pass by.

For example, Li Shan often helped Luo Xiu take the blame.

So Luo Xiu felt aggrieved and spoke out online:

"The reason TikTok is launched overseas is that the domestic traffic fee is too expensive, 5 yuan only costs 30M. I don't want you to waste this traffic."

What is the saying? As long as you criticize China Mobile and China Unicom, we will be good friends.

The same can be applied to the national football team, A-shares and housing prices.

“Shocking, the youngest billionaire in China was forced to go abroad because he could not afford the data fee.”

"Don't blame China Mobile. Do you know how fast China Mobile's 4G network is? I forgot to turn off the data when I went to bed yesterday. When I woke up today, the house was connected to China Mobile."

"Today I was riding a motorcycle to work. A reporter interviewed me and asked me how my life has changed now that 4G Internet speeds have been opened. I sighed and said, I used to drive a big Ben because one night I forgot to turn off my phone.

flow."

…

As expected, the anger of netizens shifted from Luo Xiu to the communication operators.

After all, when it comes to tricks, ten Luo Xiu can't compare to one Zhong Mo.

However, people are used to being scolded, and now being told a few jokes is not painful to them.

No matter how much you scold me, can you still not use your mobile phone?

Can you use your mobile phone without China Mobile, China Unicom and Telecom?

However, Luo Xiu is blaming the operator, not just sitting around doing nothing, nor following the trend.

I’m just using this as an excuse to see if I can speed up the policy of “increasing speeds and reducing fees”.

According to the original history, this policy will not be proposed until next year, and then the price will drop step by step.

Now that companies are exerting pressure, it does not mean that this policy cannot be implemented faster.

After all, the country does not want the development of the mobile Internet industry to be affected by traffic tariff issues.

Sure enough, as Luo Xiu expected, the superiors quickly sent someone over to have an in-depth conversation with him.

The content mainly focuses on one theme, which is the impact on our Internet industry after the traffic fee is reduced.

Regarding this point, later generations have actually set the tone.

Luo Xiu can naturally draw a conclusion with certainty: "According to a survey report released by CNNIC, the number of instant messaging Internet users on our mobile phones this year is 508 million. This is a very huge demographic dividend, enough to give birth to several world-class Internet companies.

Let us compete with the United States in this industry."

"Mr. Luo, what you said is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Whether it is an exaggeration or not will be confirmed soon."

Luo Xiu said so definitely, but in fact it was of course a bit exaggerated.

He used to be more modest in his speech and could do 100% of what he said. He usually said he could do 80%, leaving himself 20% room.

Later Luo Xiu discovered that when you said 80%, others thought you could only do 50% at most, and then gave you 30% of the resources.

Because other entrepreneurs are so good at boasting.

The fact that we can only do 50% is often exaggerated to 200%.

Therefore, people often fold in half and then in half what the boss says.

As a rare honest person among them, Luo Xiu suffered a lot from this.

Slowly, he also learned to blow out the cowhide first and get the resources first.

And compared to others, he can at least always get things done and be worthy of the resources the country gives him.

"The country will soon promote speed increases and fee reductions, but accordingly, Mr. Luo, can you move TikTok back to China?"

Luo Xiu smiled and said: "It's not necessary. As long as the traffic cost comes down, our domestic version of TikTok will be launched simultaneously."

"Then Mr. Luo, just wait for our news!"

“Thank you so much!”

Luo Xiu quickly stood up, shook hands with his opponent, and sent him out the door himself.

Not long after, Luo Xiu was invited to give a report at a national economic situation symposium.

At the meeting, he made a detailed analysis report on the relationship between traffic costs and the Internet economy.

It is pointed out that the increase in network speed and the decrease in traffic costs will greatly promote the development of my country's mobile Internet industry.

Luo Xiu's report quickly received responses from relevant departments, and "increasing Internet speeds and reducing Internet fees" was put on the agenda.

Various operators have also responded to the call and introduced relevant plans.
