Chapter 862 Don't Come Back Yet

Saying that Google.

Su Yhao can only offer some broad advice at this stage.

After the Series B financing, his stake will be further diluted, dropping to around 60%, so he can't completely regard Google as his company.

This is exactly what Su Yhao wants to see. The more independent Google is in its daily operations, the more likely it is to go further in the future.

For his own safety and Google's development, in addition to giving up some benefits, Su Yhao is also trying to avoid letting Google be labeled as his own.

Therefore, the two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are still pushed to the forefront, often representing Google in interviews or attending social events.

However, this is just the impression he deliberately leaves on others.

Even when Google goes public, the real decision-making power will still be in his hands.

Including products such as Google, Yanwenzi, and newsmicroblog, all involve the field of social media. They are equivalent to Su Yhao's "firewall," which can be used as a bargaining chip to maintain a good relationship with Washington. At critical moments, they can resist external risks, and their importance is far more than just money itself.

Just after discussing the topic of employee diversity, Danielle Kenning was considering promoting some Chinese executives. At this time, she continued to report:

"By the way, boss, it seems that the authorities have begun to pay more attention to our advertisements, and have sent people to contact us. Although Google itself needs to maintain a neutral stance, if we offer some discounts, I think it will help our safety, such as lawsuits and some tax subsidies, etc..."

CEO Eric Boyle felt that this topic was a bit dangerous, so he helped pick out a record to play music, lest someone record it and use it against them.

Eric said:

"Maybe you don't know enough about the situation in the United States, but in Silicon Valley, no one can truly remain completely neutral. For example, the newly established NAS, as well as CAI and FIB, have been trying to put pressure on us. We dare not report these things to you by email or phone. If they are leaked, Google will be finished. Fortunately, you have many friends outside, and the other party's attitude is not tough. We need your help to ease our pressure."

Since 11/10, the situation has been a bit out of control.

Google is still doing well, but Yanwenzi Group is facing greater pressure. John Zhou has returned to Hong Kong City many times to communicate and negotiate solutions with Su Yhao.

Ultimately, the function of storing historical chat records was terminated, and it was publicly announced that no customer privacy would be saved, but users were not prohibited from saving chat records through third-party programs.

After operating through lobbyists, only the information publicly disclosed by the users themselves was allowed to be retrieved, such as Moments, personal signatures, and photo albums.

Learning that Google was also encountering similar troubles, Su Yhao asked about the situation and said to them:

"I may know some friends who can help. Protecting user privacy is crucial. I don't want to face any class-action lawsuits in the future. Of course, if there is a search warrant, or something else, we can cooperate to avoid making the relationship too rigid."

This problem is not only Google's trouble, but other companies in Silicon Valley cannot escape it.

Such as data storage companies, operating systems, instant messaging software, and social businesses, all belong to heavily affected areas, and Su Yhao happened to be caught.

Fortunately, he still has some influence, and others dare not do too much.

The situation is still okay for the time being. For example, the servers in Hong Kong City and Casino, 1997 are stored separately in the semiconductor industrial park in Hong Kong City, and tAt and tot have been operating separately from the beginning.

Su Yhao himself has not been disturbed by anyone.

The topic was touched on briefly.

Even the executives under his command, Su Yhao did not dare to completely trust. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is best to deal with related issues through the assistant's office, or third-party law firms, consulting companies, and the like.

As for personalized advertising recommendations, the information that should be collected still needs to be collected.

After all, even if a little money is lost, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to advertising revenue. It is still a big profit. Moreover, with Google's strength, it is not certain who will win or lose the lawsuit. There is no need to stop eating for fear of choking.



Encountering some minor problems does not affect Su Yhao's good mood.

After leaving Google, he detoured to Amazon headquarters. He had made an appointment with the founder of Amazon yesterday to visit the so-called smart warehouse together.

Cooperating with Caltech to optimize the logistics and warehousing links, it is said that it can increase efficiency by more than 60% and save some labor costs.

Not only that, Amazon also plans to purchase several satellites to learn from Walmart to grasp the logistics trends in real time.

During this period, Su Yhao also made a suggestion similar to Fengchao cabinets, trying to install smart cabinets in some communities and taking delivery through SMS verification codes.

In this way, the expenses of couriers can be reduced. The labor cost in the United States is not ordinary. If you can use machines, it is best not to use manpower, and the delivery time is more free, preventing the risk of being stolen from the express delivery.

Su Yhao is both inspecting and learning. The business model of Red Panda is basically similar to Amazon. Logistics and warehousing can be tried to learn.

If Amazon is not currently trying to open up the mainland market, although as an Amazon shareholder, there is also a relationship of competitive interests, maybe people can be sent to visit and learn from the experience of logistics and warehousing.

While chatting with Jeff Bezos, discussing the issue of expanding new markets in Europe.

Beside.

Linda Yun's phone rang and she received a call.

After listening, she immediately interrupted Su Yhao and reported, "Boss, your mother has something important to discuss with you. Will it take a few minutes of your time?"

Linda Yun is not the kind of person who doesn't understand the rules. Seeing that she was very serious, Su Yhao smiled at Jeff and went to the side to answer the phone.

He only heard Mother Tang's anxious voice on the other end of the phone, asking, "Son, Miss Yin and my granddaughter are still in the United States with you, right?"

"Yes, they plan to return to Hong Kong City tomorrow. There is a charity business in the mainland that is going to be handed over to her."

As soon as Su Yhao finished speaking, Mother Tang said:

"Don't worry about any business or not. Last week, a hospital in Kowloon encountered a patient who infected several doctors and nurses. The HKU Medical School just released the results, saying that it is similar to the severe acute respiratory syndrome reported in the mainland. There may be other people who have been in contact with the patient. The situation is a bit dangerous, so don't come back for the time being."

Hearing this, others may be confused, but how could Su Yhao not know what this thing is?

Originally, he hadn't seen any related reports for a long time, and he thought he had been fanned away again. After coming to Silicon Valley, he forgot about it and didn't pay attention to it.

He looked nervous and said to his mother:

"Report to the higher-ups quickly, and also Nangong and Jiang Yu, let them stay at home first... Forget it, I'll tell them. You guys pay attention to your safety, and our hospital should also be careful..."
