Su Yehao can only give it some general suggestions now.
After the Series B financing, his equity will be further diluted to about 60%, and Google cannot be completely regarded as his company.
This is exactly what Su Yehao hopes 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 the development of Google, in addition to giving up some of his interests, Su Yehao also tried his best to avoid letting Google put his own label on it.
Therefore, the two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are still pushed to the stage by him, often giving interviews on behalf of Google, or participating in some social activities.
But this is just the impression he deliberately left on others.
Even when Google goes public, the final decision-making power will still be in his hands.
Products including Google, Yanmoji, News Microblog and other products are all involved in the field of social media. They are equivalent to Su Yehao's "firewall". They can be used as bargaining chips to build a good relationship with Washington and resist external risks at critical moments.
, the importance is far more than just money itself.
Just after talking about employee diversity, Danielle Kenning was considering promoting some Chinese executives when she continued to report:
"By the way, boss, the higher-ups seem to be paying more attention to our ads and have sent people to contact us. Although Google itself needs to maintain a neutral stance, if it provides some discounts, I think it will help our security, such as lawsuits
, as well as some tax subsidies, etc..."
CEO Eric Boyle just felt that this kind of topic was a bit dangerous, so he went to help pick a record and play the song to avoid being caught by someone recording.
Eric told:
"Maybe boss, you don't know enough about the situation in the United States, but when doing business in Silicon Valley, no one can truly remain completely neutral. For example, the newly established NAS, CAI, FIB, etc. have always tried to put pressure on us. We have
I dare not report to you via email or phone. If it leaks out, Google will be doomed. Fortunately, boss, you have many friends outside and the other party's attitude is not tough. We need your help to relieve our pressure."
Since November 10, the situation has been a bit unstoppable.
Google is doing pretty well here, but the Yanmoji Group is facing greater pressure. John Zhou has returned to Hong Kong City many times to communicate with Su Yehao and negotiate response plans.
Eventually, 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 the lobbying operation was completed, only the user's own public information was allowed to be retrieved, such as friend circles, personalized signatures, photo albums, etc.
After learning that Google had encountered similar troubles, Su Yehao said to them after asking about the situation:
"I may know some friends who can help. Protecting user privacy is very important. I don't want to face any group lawsuits in the future. Of course, if there is a search warrant or something else, I can cooperate if I can to avoid
The relationship is too rigid."
This problem is not only a problem for Google, but also for other companies in Silicon Valley.
Such as data storage companies, operating systems, instant messaging software, and social services, etc., are all among the hardest-hit areas, and Su Yehao happened to be caught.
Fortunately, the noodles are still somewhat thin and others don't dare to go too far.
The situation is not bad for the time being. For example, servers in Hong Kong City and Casino are stored separately in the Semiconductor Industrial Park in Hong Kong City. TAT and TOT have also been operated independently from the beginning.
Su Yehao himself has never been disturbed by anyone.
On this topic, I have only scratched the surface.
Su Yehao did not dare to fully trust even the senior executives under him. A gentleman would not stand in danger. It is best to deal with relevant issues through the assistant office, or a third-party law firm, consulting company, etc.
As for personalized advertising recommendations, the data that should be collected still needs to be collected.
After all, even if you lose some money, it will only be a drop in the bucket compared to the advertising revenue, but you will still make a lot of money. Moreover, with Google's strength, it is not certain who will win the lawsuit, and there is no need to stop eating because of choking.
…
Encountering some problems did not affect Su Yehao's good mood.
After leaving Google, he took a detour to Amazon's headquarters. Yesterday, he made an appointment with the founder of Amazon to visit the so-called smart warehouse.
Cooperating with the California Institute of Technology to optimize the logistics and warehousing links, it is said that it can increase efficiency by more than 60% and save some labor expenses.
Not only that, Amazon also plans to purchase several satellites to learn from Walmart and understand logistics trends in real time.
During this period, Su Yehao also made a suggestion similar to Fengchao Cabinet, trying to install smart cabinets in some communities and pick up items through SMS verification codes.
In this way, the courier's expenses can be reduced partly. Labor costs in the United States are not generally expensive. It is best not to use human labor if you can use machines. Moreover, the pickup time will be more flexible to prevent the risk of someone stealing the express delivery.
Su Yehao is both inspecting and learning. Red Panda's business model is basically similar to Amazon. You can try to learn from it in terms of logistics and warehousing.
If Amazon were not currently trying to open up the mainland market, even though as an Amazon shareholder, there are competing interests, maybe they could send people over to visit and learn from their experience in logistics and warehousing.
Chatting with Jeff Bezos about expanding into new markets in Europe.
beside.
Linda Yun's cell phone rang and she received a call.
After listening, she immediately interrupted Su Yehao and reported: "Boss, your mother has something urgent to discuss with you. How many minutes will it take you?"
Linda Yun was not someone who didn't understand the rules. Seeing her serious look, Su Yehao smiled at Jeff and went to answer the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Tang sounded anxious and asked, "Son, are Miss Yin and my granddaughter still with you in the United States?"
"Yes, they plan to return to Hong Kong City tomorrow. They have a charity business in the mainland, which they plan to hand over to her."
As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, Mrs. Tang told:
"Don't worry about business. Last week, a hospital in Kowloon encountered a patient who infected several doctors and nurses. The School of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong just came out with results, saying it was a severe acute respiratory syndrome similar to the severe acute respiratory syndrome reported in the mainland.
There may be other people who have come into contact with the patient, and the situation is a bit dangerous, so please don’t come back for the time being.”
Hearing this, others may be confused. How could Su Yehao not know what this thing is?
He had not seen the relevant reports at first, so he thought he had been slapped away again. After coming to Silicon Valley, he forgot about the matter and did not pay attention to it.
He looked nervous and said to his mother:
"Hurry up and report to the superiors. Nangong, Jiang Yu and the others should stay at home for now... Forget it, I'll tell them that you should pay attention to your own safety, and our hospital should also be careful..."
