The development of Burn After Reading was not smooth in the early days. Facebook and Instagram were like two mountains standing in front of it. However, compared to the Burn After Reading APP in the main world, it was still much better.
The main world's self-destructing version was launched in July 2011, and until the end of summer, it had only a pitiful 127 users.
The World's Burning After Reading APP was launched later. The extra time was mainly for optimization. One month after it was launched, the number of users exceeded 20,000. Compared with the 100,000 registered users of Instagram's AppStore in one week, this number is not not obvious.
Li Jie was not anxious at all about this situation. On the contrary, Spiegel was the first to lose his composure. He was very ambitious at the beginning. After Li Jie's deception, he felt that he would become the second Zach. Berg.
However, the cruel reality poured cold water on him and made him feel cold. The start-up capital of half a million US dollars seemed a bit too much for a fledgling company. In addition to the fixed server and traffic fees, , and bulk promotion expenses, there is really no place to spend the remaining money.
Spiegel couldn't help but complain to Li Jie a few times, and at the same time he felt sorry for the current situation because he felt that he had betrayed Li Jie's trust in him.
"Li, the current situation of snapchat is very bad. How about you recoup some of your investment?"
"I'm really not a qualified person in charge. A great start made me what I am now. I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust!"
Li Jie smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't mind, and comforted him in turn.
"Spiegel, don't worry. It's too early to be discouraged. Look at the group of people who have come out of Silicon Valley. Who has not experienced a dark time? The situation in front of me is very good. I am very satisfied. After all, everything Everything is moving in a good direction, isn't it?"
"By the way, let me tell you a recent news. Someone from the Ministry of Education is proposing to keep middle school students away from Facebook and plans to disable Facebook on the IPADs issued by schools. If this policy is officially implemented, then this will be a great opportunity for us! "
Spiegel perked up after hearing this, grabbed Li Jie's arm excitedly, and asked urgently.
"Really? Really? Li, is this news true? Where did you hear it?"
Li Jie smiled mysteriously, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, I listened to a friend about this matter. He is very well-informed in this regard. I don't know the specific time yet, but it will be soon. Don't worry." Don’t worry, everything needs to be waited patiently.”
Spiegel still knew something about the partner in front of him, a mysterious second-generation rich man from China. Li Jie didn't tell him his specific identity. He said some vague words, and Spiegel let Spiegel know the rest. You can figure it out on your own.
Sometimes imagination is the scariest thing. The few words Li Jie revealed from time to time later came true one by one. Spiegel had long regarded his words as a treasure and unconditionally trusted this partner with a somewhat mysterious background.
Later, things developed as Li Jie said. It didn't take long for the media to start discussing the bill. It would not be too far away from the official implementation. The remaining funds were enough to support them until then. Spiegel temporarily put his mind at ease. worries.
After appeasing the tool man Spiegel, a piece of news from China broke the harmonious relationship between the Su family brothers and sisters.
Su Mingcheng is getting married!
It has been two years since Su Mingcheng got engaged. The main reason why they delayed getting married until now was because of Su Mingcheng's fiancée, Zhu Li. Zhu Li had been assigned to work for two years due to a job transfer and only recently returned to Suzhou. left
In the couple's view, marriage is a lifelong event, and a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Neither Su Mingcheng nor Zhu Li wanted to hastily handle it.
Although the two got engaged early, the wedding room was decorated, and the certificate was obtained, and they were officially a legal couple, the wedding was not held for a long time. Last month, Julie got her wish and was transferred back to the local office, and the couple planned to hold a make-up wedding.
Su's mother, Zhao Meilan, had been waiting for this day and night. Her eldest son was far away in the United States on the other side of the ocean, and rarely returned to China, and he never showed any intention of returning.
There was no dealing with her daughter. Mother Su knew clearly in her heart that the only second son Su Mingcheng who stayed with her would be her support for the rest of her life, and her whole heart was focused on her second son.
Su Mingcheng's marriage is undoubtedly the top priority of the Su family. Her daughter-in-law Zhu Li's family background is better than that of the old Su family. Zhao Meilan is such a face-conscious person, and of course she doesn't want her relatives to look down on the old Su family. At the first moment of the wedding, Su's mother, Zhao Meilan, thought of her eldest son who went to the United States.
Su Mingzhe is the face of their old Su family. He graduated from Tsinghua University and studied abroad at Stanford. Now he works in the United States with an annual salary of four to five million. Everyone in the neighborhood praises her. After many times, only the eldest son of the Su family can give her enough money. Facade.
So, Zhao Meilan made a phone call to the United States and told Su Mingzhe to return to China to attend her brother's wedding.
Su Mingzhe didn't know the fact that Su Mingyu had broken up with his family, so he casually asked if he should call Mingyu and they go back together. He didn't want Su Mingyu to go back to show off, but he thought they were a family after all. Although Mingcheng and Mingyu usually don't get along well, you, the younger sister of Su Mingcheng, have to go back no matter what happens when Su Mingcheng gets married.
Zhao Meilan was strong-tempered and kind-hearted, and she didn't want her eldest son to know about these troublesome things. She hesitated half of the time and didn't understand clearly. In the end, she let Su Mingzhe figure it out on his own.
Because of this incident, a fierce conflict broke out between Su Mingyu and Su Mingzhe.
That night, when Li Jie and Su Mingyu were having dinner, Su Mingzhe called and said happily.
"Mingyu, your second brother is getting married next month. The wedding has been delayed for so long and is finally going to be held. Then you can go back with me."
Su Mingyu has been bullied by Su Mingcheng since she was a child. When Su Mingcheng got older, instead of getting better, it got worse. In Su Mingyu's heart, who is the most annoying person in the Su family, the first one is not the cold-faced and mean mother, but the overbearing and domineering one. The second brother, Su Mingyu felt unhappy every time she saw Su Mingcheng's face.
Besides, she has now broken up with her family, and she will never go to Su Mingcheng's wedding.
"Brother, I won't go back!"
Su Mingzhe advised earnestly: "Mingyu, I know you usually don't have a good relationship with your second brother, but it wouldn't be appropriate for you not to go on this big day, right?"
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to go back, but I really can't leave here. It's not like you don't know the courses in the business school. There are so many courses assigned by the instructor. Recently, I just have a paper to write and collect materials. Sorting out the data makes my head spin.”
"Take me to apologize to their family, that's all for now. I'm still busy here, so hang up now!"
Su Mingzhe wanted to persuade her again, but Su Mingyu on the other end of the phone had already hung up. Su Mingzhe put down the phone and sighed angrily to Wu Fei beside him.
"Su Mingyu really disappoints me!"
