Chapter 342 Big Brother is Kind and Righteous (5096)

After watching the video, Zhang Xiangzheng was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

This video contains too much information, and different people can get different messages from it.

Those who are familiar with the recent situation in Miami can see that the Jude people are still unwilling to give up and are still trying hard to suppress public opinion.

Those who understand the capital market are surprised that BlackRock would participate in two different entrepreneurial projects of the same founder twice, and the person in charge of this project finally said that the project would never IPO!

Those who are familiar with the struggles among the upper echelons of Miami can also understand the current complicated and extremely chaotic situation among the upper echelons of Miami.

But none of these were important to Zhang Xiangzheng. He only saw one thing - Ysou rejected BlackRock's valuation offer of 5 billion US dollars!

That’s 5 billion dollars!

Nearly 40 billion Great Zhou coins!

If you don’t want to be invested, you can also choose a three-year interest-free loan of one billion Malaysian dollars!

How is this different from giving money?

Why did they refuse?

No, more importantly, Ysou is now worth 5 billion dollars! ?

The current market value of 720 in the Mai stock market is only 9.3 billion Mai!

Moreover, most of the businesses that support this part of the stock price are such as enterprise security and targeted advertising on desktop clients.

If 720 Search is split off and listed separately, it may not even reach 1 billion yuan!

No, if the search business is separated out, 720 Search will never be able to go public!

Unless it is in the Big A.

How did this company, which was founded just over a month ago, suddenly receive such a high valuation?!

And he even pretends to be cool and says he will never IPO?

This video seems to have started circulating online around 1:00 p.m. Who filmed it?

It seems that the surveillance footage from the conference room of BlackRock's Newport office was directly accessed.

Was it released by BlackRock's people?

Or was it hacked?

If it was hacked, by whom?

However, Zhou Shuzi was quite handsome when he was showing off.

No wonder there is a hot search term on Weibo: the most handsome CEO.

Zhang Xiangzheng searched again and found that the video was actually uploaded by a BlackRock employee.

Dennis Brosky, an investment manager who had just been assigned to BlackRock's Newport office, was a young investment manager who had just been transferred to Newport for over a year.

I don't know what got into this guy yesterday, he posted several posts on Facebook and Twitter, cursing BlackRock for being an accomplice and harboring evil intentions.

It is said that after seeing this, his colleagues at the company called him and he scolded them.

Immediately afterwards, he released several videos and documents.

The documents are proof of BlackRock's secret funding of some NGOs, as well as the performance reports these NGOs sent to BlackRock.

These NGOs are basically professional organizations that create various conflicts, stir up various controversial topics around the world, and subdivide the differences infinitely.

There is only one purpose - to stir up various conflicts.

Including but not limited to gender, region, ethnicity, class...

According to him, this is "they" trying to make most people hate each other so that they will not focus their attention on "them", allowing "them" to more smoothly grasp more wealth and power.

Those videos were surveillance videos of BlackRock using its wealth hegemony to coerce and bribe various parties into cooperating with it.

The part involving Y search is just one of them.

Afterwards, this guy sent a message saying that if I disappeared, I would be silenced, and then he really disappeared.

This incident actually didn't cause any big sparks on FB and Twitter for the time being. After all, it was deleted by FB and Twitter within a few hours of being posted.

Moreover, there have been too many scandals about "them" these days, and the onlookers are a bit tired of it. This little case can no longer irritate the nerves of the people of Miami.

But after this video was brought back to China by overseas Da Zhou people in the afternoon, it became popular on Da Zhou’s social network within just one or two hours!

The reason why he became popular in the first place was also very strange - Zhou Shuzi was so pretentious.

That well-tailored three-piece suit, coupled with his elegant appearance and calm attitude, as well as his strong counterattack when facing suppression, almost satisfies most women's fantasies about the image of a business elite and a domineering president.

Thanks to the popularization of information by many people who forwarded the video, almost everyone who saw the video knew about the capital giant BlackRock.

Faced with billions of dollars, it is not easy to resist temptation. But when facing the capital Cthulhu like BlackRock, the CEO of Ysou actually dared to confront it face to face. He is simply a domineering CEO, okay?

Especially the last sentence, "We are businessmen. We can sell everything, but we will never sell our conscience."

Listen to these words, and the image of a business elite who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with warmth and bottom line, is instantly established.

At first, it was mostly women who forwarded the post, but not long after, after a scientific post about why Ysou rejected BlackRock came out, men also joined the reposting army.

In the videos posted by Dennis Brodsky, only Ysou firmly rejected BlackRock in the end, while the others were all forced to go along with it.

Only with comparison can you show how awesome it is.

Soon after, someone dug out the video and article that had been hotly discussed some time ago, "Ysou announced that it would not undertake any medical advertising business." The combined effects of the two made Ysou's popularity soar!

More than half a month ago, when Ysou announced that it would not undertake any medical advertising, most people actually thought it was mostly a publicity stunt.

At that time, there were those who made calm analyses, those who were sarcastic, those who gave objective support, and those who expressed deep doubts. However, there were very few who truly believed that Ysou did not accept medical advertisements based on conscience.

But after the video of Zhou Shuzi's meeting with BlackRock in Newport was exposed, the two sides confirmed each other. Although there were still a few people who were sarcastic, Ysou's reputation in public opinion received an unprecedented boost.

Many self-media outlets on social networking sites such as Weibo and Zhifou have been praising Ysou's moral standards to the point that they are almost on par with Google before it withdrew from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Shuzi was so frightened that after communicating with Fang Yu, he quickly posted a clarification statement on Weibo and Twitter.

The general meaning is:

Thank you all for your support. This popularity came a bit unexpectedly and caught my team and me off guard.

It should be noted that Ysou, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youzi Technology, is a purely commercial company, and I am just a pure businessman.

We are just doing what we think is right, but what we think is right does not mean it is really correct, nor does it mean that everyone will agree with it.

Therefore, please do not treat us as moral role models, as we cannot meet everyone's moral expectations.

We believe that a business is a business and should not arrogantly try to force its own moral values, which may not necessarily be correct, on the public.

We are a very young team. I am the oldest member of the team and I am only 32 years old this year.

Our founder is even younger, not even 21 years old. The views mentioned above are just our current cognitive views based on our current cognitive abilities and social experiences.

As our cognitive abilities improve and our experiences grow, we may have different perspectives in the future.

But at our current level of cognitive ability, we believe that creating profits for shareholders, creating value for society, and creating progress in science and technology are the greatest morality.

Making money is a natural need for a business to survive, just as it is natural for humans to breathe, eat and drink water.

Of course, the goal is to make money legally.

Legal operation is the most important principle of Ysou. The bottom line of Ysou's operations in any country is to comply with the laws and regulations of the country where the business is located.

As for other values ​​and ethical standards, I actually discussed this topic with the company's founder before I joined Ysou.

In the end, we all agreed that we may not be qualified to judge what is good and what is evil, but if something makes most people feel uneasy, then we should not do it.

Not taking on medical advertising was a decision Ysou had already made before I joined.

Ysou is just a small company that has only been established for a few months. We may make countless mistakes in the future. We don’t have such high moral standards for ourselves. We just try to ensure that our bottom line is not broken.

This article of mine may be criticized by many people as irresponsible, but it is indeed what we really think.

Finally, thank you all for your support.

Oh, and don’t forget to help your family and friends change their default search engines.

Ysou is the best search engine in the world right now. If you don’t believe me, check out the comments section↓.

…

In the comment section, there was even more chaos. In just a few hours, Zhou Shuzi's super topic + fan group were established.

After eating all the melons, Zhang Xiangzheng finally understood where Ysou’s traffic came from.

It turns out that it is a cult classic that has gained popularity in the fan circle!

Zhang Xiangzheng was indignant.

Isn't he just a little younger than me?

Isn't it just that she looks better than me?

What's so great about it?

Zhang Xiangzheng subconsciously glanced at his watch. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Taking another look at the market share, Zhang Xiangzheng felt disheartened.

The peak visit period has passed, and the number of visits to each company has decreased, but Ysou’s market share is even higher!

In the past two hours, Ysou's market share has stabilized at 35% and is heading towards 36%.

In contrast, 720’s market share is about to fall below 16%.

broken!

Zhang Xiangzheng suddenly remembered that it was already ten o'clock in the morning, Maidong time.

Boss Qiu must have gotten up and will see the news soon!

Thinking of Boss Qiu's usual unreasonable style, Zhang Xiangzheng broke out in a sweat instantly.

What a bullshit domineering CEO with conscience, warmth and gentleness like jade. If you have the guts, why don’t you try working under Boss Qiu?

——

Xinhao, the colorful city on Qinghe Middle Street.

Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, floors 7 to 13 of the Wucaicheng Building were still brightly lit.

This is the current headquarters of Da Mi. Da Mi developed so fast that it moved several times over the years. It was only after moving to Wucai City two years ago that it finally settled down.

However, the tens of thousands of square meters of office space in Wucai City still could not meet the office needs of the increasing number of employees at Da Mi. Da Mi had to rent four different office buildings nearby. With tens of thousands of high-paid employees here, the rental prices in the vicinity have been driven up a lot.

Fortunately, the new Rice Science and Technology Park built in Rice two years ago should be completed next year. By then, we can upgrade our old equipment in one go and save ourselves the trouble.

An office on the 13th floor but called the 15th floor was filled with smoke, as if it was on fire.

Several middle-aged men sat on the sofa and chairs, smoking around a coffee table.

"I never thought that Ysou would become popular in this way, and classmate Shuzi would become an Internet celebrity." Looking at the message on his mobile phone, Dami CEO Lin Bin spoke in Cantonese and laughed.

"Yeah, when I saw Ysou's product strength, I thought they could pull it off, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Lei Jun spoke, smoke pouring out of his nose and mouth. "Bin, you worked at Google for so many years and have a good relationship with Shuzi. What do you think will happen to Ysou in the future?"

Lin Bin thought about it and shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Bin explained, "The problem actually lies in the fact that they offended BlackRock and announced that they would not go public."

"No matter how low the actual operating costs of their services are, as you all know, for a large search company, this is only a small part of the cost. Marketing costs, management costs, R&D costs... these also require a lot of capital investment."

"But now that they've announced they won't be going public, they've cut off the main exit channel for most investors. It's hard to say how many investors will still be willing to invest."

"It's impossible for them to cover all of Ysou's initial investment costs with their own funds."

"So the consensus we reached when we discussed this earlier was that if Ysou wanted to succeed, it absolutely had to abandon its promise of not going public and must go public when the time came."

"Otherwise, no matter how strong their technology is or how good the Y-search experience is, they will still fail in the end."

"But they were really lucky. When Chihiro happened to encounter this bizarre incident, Devil's Island and Blackrock gave them the attention they needed most."

"If we didn't know Shuzi well, and if he wasn't going to Newport Blackrock for an away game, I would have thought this was a setup by Ysou himself, haha."

Lin Bin made a joke, but it hit the mark.

The others laughed a few times, and after a few moments, Lin Bin continued, "If they can take advantage of this opportunity to attract as many Qianxun users as possible, I think reaching the 5 billion dollar valuation BlackRock previously gave them will be easy. If they can come up with a strong profit model at this time, even if they don't go public, they might be able to secure some strategic financing."

"That's why I say 'hard to say'. Right now, no one knows when Qianxun's 'content management' will be fixed, and we don't know how much of a blow this incident will have on Qianxun, or how much of the market share Ysou will eat up. So the current situation is indeed difficult to predict."

"Personally, I think Qianxun will solve these problems eventually."

"Even if they take advantage of this opportunity to snatch away a third of Qianxun's users, as long as Qianxun survives, with Qianxun's financial strength, they can still win back some of those users."

"If Ysou's financing problem is not resolved, it will eventually be dragged down by Qianxun."

Lei Jun nodded and put out his cigarette in the ashtray. "You're right. Actually, I wanted to ask Fang Yu if he would accept the investment at first, but when I heard that he didn't plan to take Ysou public, I felt that this idea was not very reliable."

Li Wanqiang, the vice president of marketing and brand building, who was sitting next to Lei Jun, said, "Brother Jun, what do you think of the cooperation proposed by Shu Zi yesterday?"

Lei Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I think there's nothing wrong with adding YSearch as an optional browser search engine in the next MIUI system update. It's just a matter of adding an option. But making YSearch the default option is a bit difficult."

"As you know, Robert and I have known each other for almost ten years. He helped me a lot when we were at Yinshan. We had some problems a while ago due to our cooperation with Yuzi Technology. He's in a difficult time right now. How can I add insult to injury?"

"I plan to delay it for a few days, then talk to Shuzi about the difficulties. I believe he will understand."

When everyone heard Lei Jun's statement, they all nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, big brother is kind and righteous."

Lei Jun lit up another Yingtai Lottery and suddenly laughed, "The most handsome CEO, hahahaha. Robert Lee was also the most handsome CEO before. I wonder who will have the last laugh between the new and old generations of the most handsome CEO."

——

"It's been down for 12 hours! 12 hours! And you're telling me there's still no problem?!"

"Where are Tang Zhenglei, Jin Chao, and Zhang Haodong? Did they go home after get off work? Who told them to go home? The system hasn't been restored yet, and they still want to go home? Do you still want to work in Qianxun?!"

With a bang, Robert Lee slammed the laptop in front of him to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

The technical team of over a hundred people was silent, with only the occasional sound of keyboards.

The former most handsome CEO has disheveled hair and red eyes. How can he be seen as the Robert Lee who was once known as "gentle as jade"?

"Robert, I told them to go home. Some of them have been working for almost 40 hours and can't stand it anymore..."

Jiang Feiyu stepped forward with gritted teeth.

Even an iron man couldn't stand working for forty hours straight.

Moreover, this is not just a problem of continuous work, but a problem of not being able to find any problems at all, and working ineffectively like a headless fly.

This kind of work will greatly consume people's energy and endurance. Look at these people in the room, their eyes are dull and they look like zombies.

"You told them to go home!? Who do you think you are? You can't make it? I've been making it for almost forty hours! Why didn't you say you couldn't make it?!"

"No one is allowed to leave work until the system is restored! Anyone who leaves now doesn't have to come back tomorrow!"

Robert Lee said this viciously.

In the past, Robert thought he would never be able to say such words that would subvert his own image.

But now, when Qianxun was facing life and death, he found that he had no psychological pressure at all when he said this.

The audience did not feel any indignation or anger.

Because I no longer have the energy to be angry.

Everyone dispersed with dull eyes, preparing to return to their workstations to continue working.

"Bang!"

A few people turned around and saw an employee in his thirties falling to the ground without any warning and unconscious.
