Chapter 513: 45 Million Units (First Update)
Zoe is a sword disc?
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Bin, who had just been picked up by Lei Jun, looked dazed.
Not long after he was called away to "assist in the investigation", he was transferred to an unknown place. He stayed there for less than half an hour and no one came to question him. When he was feeling nervous, the other party released him. As soon as he came out, he saw Lei Jun waiting at the door.
"I'm sorry, Jun-ge, I didn't know Zoe would be recruited by Google. I know she's getting married and might be under a lot of financial pressure. I'm remiss."
As soon as Lin Bin saw Lei Jun, he immediately admitted his fault.
"It's not entirely your fault." Lei Jun patted Lin Bin's shoulder, also with a look of fear on his face. "The Jinwu Guard Coordination Office just told me that she wasn't instigated, but was arranged by Jian Die since you were still in Gugou. She also has the background of NCS, the National Secret Operations Service of Mai Country."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is that possible!
Lin Bin widened his eyes.
Zoe has been his assistant since eight years ago when he was still working at Google!
How could it be a sword disc from the beginning?
And he has an NCS background! ?
Although I hold a Malaysian passport, this is the first time I have heard of this department!
Lei Jun shook his head and opened the car door. "I haven't told you this before, but do you remember when Youmi OS was in development, an employee named Ji Lekang suddenly disappeared? Later, they said he was caught drunk driving and sentenced to six months, and we terminated his employment contract. Actually, Ji Lekang was also arrested because of a background issue."
Lin Bin couldn't help but gasp.
He is not a naive person. Although he comes from a technical background, he has encountered many similar things both at Google and at Dami.
But most of these incidents were caused by competitors and were almost always handled internally by the company. This was the first time that the Jinwu Guards or the Imperial City Bureau had directly intervened.
"Alin, do you understand now why we can't submit the source code?"
Lei Jun smiled bitterly.
“This is not a question of interests, but a question of stance.”
Lin Bin was shocked, and finally he understood why Lei Jun could resist the temptation of getting a share of the profits from Ads and Adsense in the future!
Lei Jun sighed, but then pulled himself together: "However, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what Li and Google talk about, Google will not cancel our GMS certification for at least six months."
"Just got the news that Larry Page and Sergey Brin have already flown out of Miami and are said to be waiting until after the election to return."
"Because of the previous political crisis, the counting of votes in the Miami election has been postponed to January 10th. No matter what major moves Google makes, it will have to wait until the election results are out before making any decisions."
"After the new president takes office on January 20, major companies like Google and Apple will need a period of grace to understand the new president's direction and strategy."
"So, at least for half a year, everything should be fine."
"The past six months have been a period for us to fully expand our market share, especially overseas market share."
"Only in this way can we get more bargaining chips before negotiating with Google."
Lei Jun's tone was calm, but his fists gripping the steering wheel were clenched white.
"Moreover, this is also the biggest opportunity for us!"
Lin Bin's expression changed: "Brother Jun, the ancient dogs are very strong. Do you really think we can beat them?"
Lei Jun looked ahead and said, "Ah Lin, Google's opponent is not us, but Yuzu Technology."
Yuzu Technology?
"Even though Youzi Technology has some advantages in AI, it's not yet qualified to compete with Google, right?"
Lin Bin frowned subconsciously and said casually.
Lei Jun suddenly smiled, his hands gripping the steering wheel less firmly. "Ysou, six months of operation, has a 17.9% overseas market share. Tabo, two months of global operation, has over 200 million overseas users, and with domestic users in tow, it's approaching 300 million. "Taishang: Mountain and Sea Realm" has a confirmed first-week retention rate of over 90%..."
Lin Bin was shocked when he heard Lei Jun's straightforward narration.
He has some impression of every piece of data of Youzi Technology here.
But why do I always have the feeling that "Yuzu Technology is a small startup company"?
Yes, because of time.
Because the speed of Yuzu Technology's rise is too fast!
Never before in history has a company risen so fast!
No, it's not just that!
If it were any other company, media, or self-media, they would have surrounded us like sharks smelling blood!
Even if Youzi Technology itself does not want to promote itself, there will still be countless "media people" writing articles about Youzi Technology.
This is the case with rice. The marketing and public relations costs of rice are the lowest among all major manufacturers, but the exposure rate is always high.
Most of it was hyped up by Da Mi himself and with the "help" of "friendly competitors", but a small part was hyped up spontaneously by the media because they thought the news about Da Mi was hot!
And what about Yuzu Technology?
Nowadays, many people use Ysou and Tabo and almost forget that these two apps are from Youzi Technology!
Even if it is mentioned in reports, it always seems to be mentioned in a casual manner and never discussed in depth.
How is it possible that a company like this is almost invisible most of the time?
Almost everyone has heard of their names, and almost everyone knows that they are pioneers of the AI era, but almost no one really asks about the story behind this company.
Even I, as an insider in the industry, would subconsciously ignore their presence, and only think of how powerful they are when they are mentioned.
How is this done?
It feels like… the Cargill and Bertelsmann of the digital industry!
Cargill is a global food industry giant. 85% of the world's food commodity trade is related to Cargill. The chicken nuggets, beef, corn oil, and even rice and white flour that people eat every day may all have the shadow of Cargill behind them.
But most people have never heard of it, just as global public opinion tacitly assumes that "it doesn't need a brand."
Of course, Cargill mainly does B2B business and is not listed, so it is understandable that ordinary people don’t know about it.
Bertelsmann is even more amazing. It is the world's largest media group, with hundreds of companies under its umbrella, and its businesses span books, television, movies, music, education, publishing, advertising...
Bertelsmann is clearly in the media business, and many people have heard of it and come into contact with the company's products every day, but they subconsciously think that this company is just a "book club"!
"Also, don't forget, they have already completed their controlling stake in Qianxun."
Lei Jun said something meaningful.
Oh, and there’s Chihiro!
Lin Bin didn't even notice that a layer of cold sweat had seeped out of his forehead.
It has been more than three months since Qianxun resumed access. I use it almost every day. I also lamented that after Qianxun was acquired by Youzi Technology, it became more and more like Ysou. But how could I not subconsciously include it in Youzi Technology?
Lei Jun's eyes flickered. "Qianxun is currently being privatized from Maigu, with financial support from Zhou Kaihang, BlackRock, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Temasek. It's said that the process is going smoothly, and they should be delisted from Maigu by the end of the year."
!!!
Lin Bin's face changed drastically.
"Alin, do you still think that Yuzu Technology has no chance of winning?"
Lei Jun glanced at him sideways.
"So, even if you didn't go to Yuzhou, starting tomorrow, our biggest task will be to reorganize the supply chain!"
"Triple! Within six months, rice production capacity must be tripled! 85% of that must be mixed!"
“Annual sales of 45 million units!”
