At a press conference, the expenses were another million, and all of them were borne by 51 Group. Yiwang and Baidu don’t have to pay a penny.
Ding Lei and Li Yan both participated in the internal test of 51 Weibo. With their eyesight, they both felt that this product had a great hope of becoming a hit.

At 8:50 am, the "Little Knife Club Overture" was released again.
Later, Gao Yang accompanied Ding Lei and Li Yan to take a seat, and hosts Zhou Wenbin and Shen Xin also joined forces to come on stage.

Chen Xin is elegant and calm, with a still charm, and said with a slight silly voice: "Today, in addition to the three companies signing strategic cooperation agreements, 51 Group will also release two major news. In addition, there are three big stars in the entertainment industry who are on-site to help and perform. Show."
In the audience, Ding Lei, who was confused in the dark, whispered to Gao Yang: "Invite celebrities to help, what are you doing?"
Gao Yang laughed quietly and replied: "It was planned by Yuanda Company, and it helps each other. After watching the show, you will understand."
Ding Lei asked again: "How much does it cost to invite a celebrity?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "I didn't spend any money. I didn't spend a penny. They also want to borrow this press conference today to promote it."
Ding Lei shook his head and expressed his disbelief. Gao Yang said, "I will arrange some hard work for them personally, and this is not called spending money."
Following this, Fang Jian appeared on stage as the CEO of 51 Group for the first time, introducing the current development status of 51 Group, as well as the background of establishing strategic cooperative relationships with two top Internet companies, Yiwang and Baidu, as well as the main cooperation in the future.

It was also Gao Yang's request to ask Fang Jian to come to the stage to introduce 51 Group. In the future, the main thing to deal with the media was to Fang Jian. Gao Yang was preparing to slowly hide and focus on investment.
After Fang Jian's speech, the group's vice president Zhang Xiaolong made a debut again.
Zhang Xiaolong mainly introduced the development trends of social platforms under 51 Group, and then focused on 51talk, which has rapidly developed user scale.
Zhang Xiaolong suddenly changed his mind: "Here, on behalf of 51 Group, I will announce good news to my friends in the media. As part of the strategic cooperation between 51NB companies, 51 Group has reached an agreement with Yi.com to acquire POPO this IM product.
POPO has a user scale of nearly 20 million. The team of this product will join 51 Group as a whole and integrate with the 51talk project. For all POPO users, there will be a one-year transition time and finally migrate to the 51talk IM product.
51talk's next product iteration will also absorb some of the application characteristics of POPOs. We believe that this is a strong integration of two IM products. 51talk will be more popular with users, and the user scale will soon exceed 100 million..."
The media reporters in the audience immediately talked about it. 51 Group acquired Yiwang's POPO and then integrated it with 51talk. This is indeed another exciting news...
