Chapter 595: Chapter 595 I am your fan_1

Rossiyana obviously heard the content of Wang Ye’s phone call.

"Aren’t you also helping Facebook promotion this way? It does not seem right. YANDEX’s two websites are yours, considering your personal resources, you are now using your resources to help Facebook promote. This is simply benefiting the site for nothing." Rossiyana asked, a little puzzled after hanging up the phone.

Clearly, Rossiyana knows the relationship between Polar Bear Investment, YANDEX, and MAIL.RU. She also knows Wang Ye is a major shareholder of Polar Bear Investment.

But what she did not know was, the relationship between Wang Ye and Facebook....

After all, Facebook is still a new website, which only emerged a few days ago, and is not even considered a significant website yet.

The equity relationship behind the company is naturally unknown to the public.

Wang Ye smiled faintly, and did not hide from Rossiyana. He simply said, "Oh, you probably don’t know, but Facebook is also my investment, and I own eighty percent of the shares!"

It was Rossiyana’s turn to be flabbergasted.

She hadn’t expected that the major shareholder behind the website she casually recommended would be Wang Ye!

This man’s influence seems to have permeated many industries...

Since Facebook is an investment made by Wang Ye, his current actions can be understood.

Because all of his resources were used, he was merely transferring from left hand to right hand. On the surface, he is using YANDEX and MAIL.RU’s traffic to attract more followers for himself, but it also throws a lifeline to Facebook, allowing the site to rise rapidly.

Anyway, ultimately, the profit still goes to Wang Ye!

...

In Petersburg University, Milosevic, a junior year computer science student, was surfing the internet in his dorm.

He was a computer expert and had started with computers and the internet at a very young age.

Upon entering university, he naturally chose to go for computer science.

He plans to apply for a scholarship to a prestigious American school after graduation because he believes Silicon Valley is the "holy land" for all computer science students!

He looks down on his country’s internet industry.

Take YANDEX and MAIL.RU, the websites with the most traffic and users in the Russian internet world; even Milosevic frequently uses these two sites, but only because there are limited alternatives. These two sites are considered the best on the Russian internet.

He needs them to read news, send emails, or search for information.

In comparison, he prefers a new site named "FACEBOOK" which just started recently!

He doesn’t quite understand what the name represents, but the site is innovative and full of unique ideas.

Milosevic knew about the site two months ago when it first launched, which was recommended by someone on a computer technology forum.

The person said that the founder of this website was a computer expert from Moscow University.

When Milosevic first visited the site, it was very rudimentary and not even named as it is now.

However, this site quickly underwent major transformations; the main interface became aesthetically pleasing, and several added functionalities were really handy.

Especially, many female college students started to join this site, sharing their daily attractive pictures!

This excited Milosevic greatly.

Being somewhat introverted, he wasn’t comfortable flirting or chatting with girls. When he encountered girls on campus, he was even shy about looking at them longer.

But on the internet, he doesn’t have such inhibitions; he can look as much as he wants!

So on Facebook, he followed many beautiful girls, including both college students and professional women.

Today, after class, he didn’t bother eating and turned on the computer first, wanting to check if the female bloggers he follows had posted any new attractive pictures.

The home page set in his browser was Facebook.

The site has a useful feature: if the personal bloggers you follow update content, it will show a red dot in the top right corner.

You can click on the personal bloggers with the bright red dots in your following list and it will take you directly to their personal pages.

The first page Milosevic opened was Rossiyana’s!

The pretty blogger was a journalist before and recently started to work as an assistant for the youngest Duma member. All of these he learned from Rossiyana’s Facebook page.

When the page opened, Milosevic was a little disappointed because he didn’t see any new photos. The update Rossiyana made was a forwarded message.

Close to turning it off, Milosevic suddenly widened his eyes because he found out the message was about a lucky draw.

The prize was a top-of-the-line Land Rover Range Rover, this was Milosevic’s dream car!

He quickly read the forwarded post again carefully.

Turns out, it was Mikhail, the "youngest Duma member and member of the Economic Committee," who created a Facebook personal account. To celebrate his acquisition of the three major car brands, he arranged a lucky draw giveaway for everyone.

The participation method was simple: you only need to follow Mikhail’s Facebook account and share the lucky draw message to participate!

Without any hesitation, Milosevic immediately clicked the link to Mikhail’s Facebook page.

At this moment, under Mikhail’s first lucky draw post, there were already hundreds of comments and shares.

Milosevic typed a message, "Congressman Mikhail, I’m your fan!"

Then he shared the lucky draw message to his personal page, and just like that, he entered the draw.

Even though he was quite hopeful, he also understood that the chance of him winning was thin.

After all, there’s just one car, and there are already hundreds of participants now. Seeing that the lucky draw would end after quite a few days, there might be countless participants by then.

The winning chance is probably one in ten thousand...

After his participation, he put it behind him and started busying himself with other things.

...

Actually, Milosevic underestimated netizens’ enthusiasm in participating in the lucky draw.

Three days after Wang Ye opened his personal account, with the help of traffic from YANDEX and MAIL.RU and the eye-catching luxury car lucky draw, it attracted lots of netizens to participate.

His fan count quickly broke ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand...

In less than three days, it exceeded one hundred thousand and became the top-ranked blogger on Facebook in terms of followers!

Just as he had expected, through traffic redirection, not only had he gained a large number of followers for himself, but also it directly stimulated the popularity of Facebook.

Now, on the Russian Internet, the hottest topic was "Win a Luxury Car for Free on Facebook"!
