Chapter 58 It must be him!(1/2)

Frank Arnesen drove to Canary Wharf, London.

Canary Wharf is a famous yacht marina in London. If the world-famous Sun Eclipse is not out of the sea, it always stops along the coast of Canary Wharf.

Walking on the dock, you can see the eclipse, which is particularly dazzlingly white in the sunlight at a glance.

The total length is 168 meters and the width is 21.5 meters. Such a large size is considered a giant at Canary Wharf.

Not only that, this is also a yacht with amazing protection capabilities, equipped with a German-developed anti-missile system, two helicopters on standby, twenty jet skis, etc.

Whenever he saw this yacht, Aneson couldn't help but want to curse.

Rich people are so fucking fun!

But now, the closer he gets to the Sun Eclipse, the more he feels nervous.

He knew very well why Abramovich called him to Canary Wharf.

He messed up something very important!

Walking up the solar eclipse and going up the hovering stairs to the deck, Abramovich sat on the deck, opposite Chelsea's head coach Ancelotti, which surprised Aneson.

"Boss." Aneson walked forward.

Abramovich nodded, pointed to the seat opposite, signaling him to sit casually, but he was staring at his phone.

Dingdong~ Dingdong, two messages came from the phone in less than three or four seconds.

After reading the news, Abramovich couldn't help laughing.

This made Frank Arnesen and Ancelotti, who were sitting aside, very strange.

What are you looking at? So funny?

Abramovich handed over his phone, "Look at it."

Ancelotti was closest to him and immediately approached. Aneson originally wanted to look over, but when he saw Ancelotti take the lead, he immediately retreated.

His technical director is not in line with all the team's head coaches. He used to be with Mourinho. When Mourinho left, Grant was a little better, but both Scolari and Ancelotti had a bad relationship with him.

It turned out that Abramovich was following Southampton's press conference on WeChat platform.

"Hello, Neymar, I am Rudolph, a reporter from the Brazilian Daily. I want to ask you, why did you choose Southampton with a lower level between Chelsea and Southampton?"

There is nothing funny about this question, the real funny thing is the expression below.

A cute cartoon picture of Neymar who occupied half of the mobile phone screen, squatting on the ground and studying, but holding his hair hard, with an exaggerated, distressed and embarrassed expression on his face.

Even though Ancelotti was prepared, she couldn't help but smile when she saw this expression picture.

Another ding dong sounded, and Neymar's reply was soon heard.

Ancelotti pushed the phone back to Abramovich, who picked it up and looked at it.

Neymar replied: "Joining Southampton was a decision made by my family and I after careful consideration. I was eager to play in European teams, but joining a giant like Chelsea is too risky, so I decided to play in a low-level team like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and other seniors first to play in a low-level team to adapt to the European football style."

"There is another very important reason that through many contacts, I deeply feel the ambition and strength of Southampton. The team introduced Ibrahimovic this summer. They told me that they will continue to introduce more stars. I believe we will return to the Premier League soon and enter the European arena."

"I'm still young, only eighteen years old. Two years later, I adapted to European football and the team returned to the Premier League. At that time, the best Neymar will be welcomed!"

"As for Chelsea, I have never had any contact with them."

Then there was a cute expression that occupied nearly half of the screen, a cartoon picture of Neymar spitting out an exaggerated big tongue.

Although he was pushing down Chelsea, Abramovich couldn't hate it. Instead, he thought this cute and cute.

"Look." Abramovich pushed his phone in front of Aneson.

Aneson took the phone, picked it up and down and looked it up and down, feeling a little panicked.

He is indeed a little careless about Neymar's transfer operation, because he feels that this is just another rookie who is too high in Brazil and is not worth spending so much money.

So he offered a quotation of 20 million euros, but Santos paid a sky-high price of 35 million euros.

It is impossible for Aneson to agree to such a deal. That's crazy, and it's impossible to have 35 million euros. Neymar's breach of contract is only 30 million euros. Who would be so stupid that he used 35 million euros to introduce Neymar?

"Southampton directly used the breach fee and bought out Neymar's contract." This was the news that Aneson got.

Abramovich nodded lightly, "I know."

After taking the phone handed over by Aneson again, he stopped reading it and turned off the screen and placed it on the table.

"I just want to know now, why, we will lose to a League One team?"

The last sentence shows the anger in Abramovich's heart.

Even though he deliberately suppressed it, anyone could hear that he was holding back his anger.

Neymar was called out by him and Ancelotti expressed his hope to introduce him, but in the end he turned to other teams.

If it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other top giants, it is better, but it is a League One team, which is slapping Abramovich and Ancelotti in the face.

What will people who don’t know outside say? What will they think of them?

Everyone will definitely joke that Chelsea actually lost to a team in the League One!

Aneson remained silent. He couldn't explain anything, it was indeed his problem.

I can only say that he was too careless and too self-righteous.

"I'm sorry!" Aneson could only lower his head to apologize.

Apart from that, he can't do anything.

But the eyes of Ancelotti were filled with anger and hostility.

It must be this damn Italian who made a report in front of his boss!

It must be him!

…………

…………

A corner of Silicon Valley Mountain View City, WhatsApp headquarters, the second floor of a very ordinary office building.

Yang Coom looked blankly at the desk in front of him, with a computer on it, an Apple phone in front of the computer keyboard, and a handwritten note nailed next to the phone.

"Don't advertise! Don't play! Don't gimmicks!"

The author of this handwritten note is right in front of him, his partner, Brian Acton.

At this moment, both of them were wondering whether the three notes on the note were correct for the first time.

Brian Acton stood on the desk and held his forehead, looking extremely distressed.

"According to the latest news we have received, their press conference focuses on making efforts in South America, and with this press conference, they also updated the WeChat version and launched a service called Mood Stamp."

Since WeChat was launched, WhatsApp has been unlucky. First, it was free for a limited time, which resulted in the server crashing twice in a short period of time. Then, it crashed again because there were too many users and the server could not bear it. Three times in a row, which damaged their reputation a lot and lost a large number of users.

Today, WeChat users have exceeded WhatsApp, and they have more than four million and are launching an impact on five million.

WhatsApp has been staying at three million, and even vaguely has the risk of falling from three million.

This made the two founders worry.

What hits their confidence even more is their creed to run the company.

Don't have gimmicks?

Opponents are relying on gimmick marketing to surpass them!

"South America?" Yang Koum's face was extremely serious, and he realized a problem.

"Is there any problem?" Brian Acton didn't understand it for a moment.

Yang Coomb wanted to say something, but his mind was in a mess. After more than a minute of organizing, he stood up.

"Smartphone users in the United States usually use the monthly subscription system. After the monthly subscription system, they are free of phone, text messages and Internet traffic, so they are not very willing to save text messages."

Yang Coomb's words completely awakened Brian Acton.

The monthly subscription system in the United States is a unique phenomenon. In other countries and regions such as Europe, Asia, South America, etc., this monthly subscription system is rarely used, so they are very interested in the services promoted by WeChat and WhatsApp.

Because this can help them save a lot of money.

In Europe, WeChat has become famous, and now they are going to make efforts in South America and Asia.

"This is a conscious act of seizing the market!" Yang Coomb could swear 100% that his opponent had planned it.

Brian Acton was also shocked. Their limited-time free time is more targeted at domestic users in the United States. The reason is very simple. Registering to use WhatsApp requires SMS verification. The SMS verification fee in the United States is the cheapest, only two cents.

Do you know? If you are abroad, such as in the Middle East, Asia and South America, you will be charged 65 cents per item.

The more users there are abroad, the higher their operating costs will be.

In other words, SMS verification has become a rope that binds WhatsApp's rapid development.

As for WeChat, they do not need SMS verification, so they can attract users in any part of the world without any scrupulous way.

The only trouble is that they need to have a good enough server.

But in recent times, their server quality is quite excellent.

"What should we do now?" Brian Acton was a little weak.
