After Zhang Yi arrived in the United States, he immediately met with the three expert advisers who were arranged to contact Goldman Sachs.

One is former Federal Trade Commission commissioner Maureen Ohrahusen, who previously worked in the same department that issued the fine to ICAY.

The work of this department is mainly to stop behaviors that may cause harm to consumers.

The FTC also provides information when Congress, the executive branch, or other independent agencies, as well as state and local governments, deliberate on policy needs.

One is Erich Anderson, Microsoft's Chief Intellectual Property Attorney, who leads lawyers, engineers, and other professionals in managing Microsoft's intellectual property, including development, analytics, engineering and business development, licensing, and policy analysis.

The other is Roland Cruthier, who has more than 30 years of experience in cyber security and law enforcement, including more than 10 years in the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs.

In addition to serving the military and government departments, he has served as a private consultant and senior business executive in various ministries of science and technology.

All three of them are typical old white men who belong to the upper class of the United States.

In order to keep the U.S. market, Ruixiang has also invested a lot of money and is ready to find a group of "American compradors".

It is a reason that when the European and American colonizers were so strong, when they arrived in China, they still had to find a bunch of compradors.

As long as Ruixiang gives enough green dollars, the Americans are still willing to help with something.

In a manor in the suburbs of New York, Zhang Yida met with the three of them one by one.

The reason why we met separately was mainly for the sake of keeping some information confidential.

Erich Anderson, in particular, has not yet left Microsoft.

It was also Goldman Sachs, the middleman, who helped spread the word, and impressed the other party with the title of general counsel and a generous salary of ICAY, and Anderson agreed to meet with Zhang Yida to talk.

As for Roland Crutier, ICAY plans to hire him as the chief information security officer, and use his rich experience to help ICAY solve some problems with user ** and information security.

The difficulties encountered by ICAY in the "children's ** program" can also be summarized in the category of information security.

Anderson and Crutier are both people who need to do something practical and need to join ICAY.

Maureen Ohhlhausen is different, after all, he is a former high-ranking official in an important department of the United States.

And this department has issued a sky-high fine to ICAY, so I still have to avoid one or two.

Although Maureen Ohhausen was only in his sixties, his face was wrinkled and very old because of the European and American races, and a pair of cloudy eyes flashed from time to time.

After listening to Zhang Yida's description of ICAY's current predicament and the possible obstacles to future development, he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, these worries of yours are not meaningless.

I can tell you for sure that they must be a reality. ”

Zhang Yida was not frightened by Ohhausen's words, and the most serious result he had just deduced was that ICAY was completely blocked by the U.S. federal government and withdrew from the U.S. market.

If there really is such a day, he will face it calmly.

Although it is possible that it is implicated by the friction between the country and the United States

But don't forget, there is no Chinese market, and there is no sharp direction today.

Even today, aside from games, 90 or even 95% of Ruixiang's revenue is provided by the domestic market.

If you were born in Africa or the Middle East, you might starve to death or die of illness one day, let alone become the richest man in Asia.

Instead of complaining, you should use your ingenuity to skillfully survive in the American market and make Yankee money hard.

Then use this money to promote the progress of the national Internet infrastructure, cultivate industry talents, and promote domestic scientific and technological progress.

Therefore, there is no need to feel humiliated or even resentful because of the suppression of foreign governments, but to be positive and optimistic and learn from Huawei.

Ohhausen looked at Zhang Yida's unmoved look, and was a little surprised in his heart.

According to his rough analysis, a U.S. market has at least billions of dollars of potential value for the ICAY app.

He knew that Zhang Yida was very rich, and his paper wealth was as high as hundreds of billions of dollars.

But because you have money, can you ignore the loss of the American market?

I'm afraid not

Ohhausen believes that it is estimated that the young tech tycoon in front of him has taken his words as alarmist.

He decided to add another fire

"Are you clear about the FTC's allegations against Facebook?"

Zhang Yida nodded, this is what Cambridge Analytica caused last year.

Because of this, he also made a little joke with Xiao Mazi at the Davos forum.

Ochhausen continued: "It is currently the Donkey Party lawmakers who are holding Zuckerberg personally responsible for the company's violations.

And the Elephant Party, led by Trump, is on Zuckerberg's side.

Even if someone in Congress speaks for Zuckerberg, he still faces a sky-high $5 billion settlement.

Zuckerberg is an American, and Facebook is a real American company.

But the big people in the White House don't care about this, and they are all going to die.

Think about it, you're a Chinese tech company.

In the future, it is very normal to punish you with one billion or eight hundred million as you did with ZTE.

If they refuse to pay the fine, they may also have to put ICAY on the sanctions entity list, refuse to allow the three major record companies to authorize ICAY's music copyrights, and ask Google and the Apple Store to stop listing Ruixiang's apps.

With such a combination of punches, Ruixiang is likely to lose the market outside of China. ”

Ohhausen is a bit bluffing, but if you think about it, it's not impossible.

Ruixiang has cooperated with a number of American technology companies, such as using Google Cloud in Europe and the Americas.

It is not the first time that the United States has gone shirtless against a company.

Although ICAY is not engaged in hardcore technology, it is just an Internet application, and the underlying architecture technology is still in the hands of the Yankees.

The Yankees are playing hooligans, but I don't care about you.

"Mr. Ohhausen, what do you think we should do to avoid such a bad situation as you described?"

Zhang Yida didn't want to spend money in vain, so he decided to let the old white man come up with some ideas.

If you can really put forward constructive suggestions, this treatment can also be negotiated.

Ohhausen smiled slightly, as if he was in the chest.

He said slowly: "I won't talk about the proposal to directly split ICAY into an American company, I believe that Ruixiang has a lot of internal talents, and it should have discussed the feasibility of it."

My suggestion is that ICAY should make itself a little more international, such as hiring senior officials from big US tech companies to serve as ICAY's lobbying level and image in front of US regulators.

Second, it is not enough to build a data wall in the United States, but to tighten the data permissions for Chinese employees to access overseas products and services, and build a real wall between Chinese and overseas businesses.

In this way, the Chinese employees are responsible for the products and business in China, and the overseas employees are responsible for the overseas products and business, and the only intersection between the two parties is to have common shareholders.

Then, adjust the organizational structure of the ball, don't always make everyone think that ICAY's headquarters is in China, which is easy to have some bad associations, and it is easy to be found fault by those parliamentarians.

Finally, there is the internationalization of the financing structure.

As far as I know, many of Ruixiang's important shareholders are Chinese state-owned enterprises, and I understand that there may be compromises here.

What you did more correctly is to invite Wall Street giants such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to take shares.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here to meet you today. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and listened to these pretentious words, while Ohhausen laughed and continued: "In the next financing, I suggest that more American investment institutions be brought on board.

The deeper the bond, the more significant the stakes, the more they will help ICAY to turn around.

If you can, it's best to let Ruixiang choose to list on the New York Stock Exchange."
