Zhou Shi's work on YouTube obviously put Sequoia at ease, and Moritz personally invited Zhou Shi to a party. At this party, Zhou Shi actually met Yang Zhiyuan and Google. Obviously, Zhou Shi is not the protagonist of this party. In his passable English, Zhou Shi only gained familiarity. However, Yang Zhiyuan chatted with Zhou Shi a little more, and Ma Ali mentioned Zhou Shi's little brother to him, so he also mentioned Zhou Shi more.

After the party, Moritz stayed with Zhou Shi to chat.

"How are you feeling today?"

"The big husband should be like this!" Zhou Shi said slowly

Moritz asked.

"The sentence I just said was the founding emperor of the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history, and he sighed when he saw the grand occasion of the first emperor in Chinese history, and realized that I will become such a person in the future!" Zhou Shi explained to him a little.

"You have this potential!" Moritz

"Thank you for the compliment. "Zhou Shi

"Ever wanted to stay in Silicon Valley?"

"Wasn't I in Silicon Valley?"

"I heard that you have other Internet companies in China?"

"Yes, the person in charge of Sequoia China went in person last time, but there has been no follow-up. ”

"After all, a person's energy is limited, and you will limit your future achievements by doing this"

"But I have a lot of thoughts now, and I can't restrain this desire of myself," Zhou Shi

"But you have to learn to control, and that's the key to your path to mediocrity and greatness," Moritz

"Don't you think I'm more suitable for venture capital?" Zhou asked

"There are many people who can do venture capital, but not everyone can create great companies. ”

"Can I really start a great business?" said Zhou Shi

"You're doing that now?" Moritz

"Does YouTube really have this potential?"

"And Twitter!"

8 November 2005: As unrest continues in Paris, France, the French government introduces a emergency decree imposing a curfew in places where riots occur. At the same time, an American tourist used Twitter text and pictures to broadcast the riot live, and the Twitter staff discovered the live broadcast and pinned it to the top, and the user's following soon exceeded 500,000. Information about the riots spread throughout the United States, more than 12 hours before the official news and a full day before the detailed news.

9 November: At least 57 people were killed and hundreds injured in three suicide bombings in Amman, Jordan's capital. It was also reported in detail by a Twitter user who was a journalist, and the time was 18 hours earlier than the official media report. This journalist was also followed by 200,000 people at the same time.

Two cases in a row were promoted by Twitter, which quickly aroused the public's idea. At the same time, Evan Williams, a pioneer in blogging technology, also volunteered to join Twitter. Driven by the popularity of YouTube, it became the twin stars of the sudden rise of the Internet at the end of 2005. Thinking of this, Moritz's praise is not surprising.

"But I don't know what to do to make the company great," Zhou Shi looked a little confused

"No one knows, and no one knows, but if you do your best, you can be great. Not everyone has this possibility!"

"Well, I will seriously think about your suggestion and make a decision as soon as possible. "Zhou Shi

Moritz stood at the door, looking at Zhou Shi who was leaving, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Look, this person has been gone for so long" a voice came from behind

"Nothing, just a little hard to choose" Moritz

"Oh, you value this entrepreneur a lot?"

"Yes, he founded a really great Internet company" Moritz

"What company?"

"YouTube, a video site where you can freely upload, share and watch"

"Oh, that's a formidable opponent," the man said

"I'm afraid people don't think of you as an opponent anymore," Moritz

"Google hasn't failed yet," the man said

"Haha, Schmidt, it's not okay if you don't admit defeat this time, the gap between you and YouTube is as far away as the earth and the sun. Moritz laughed

The person who came is Schmidt, one of the three heads of Google, and the Google video service has been launched for a long time, even if they are more advanced than YouTube, the video is clearer, and they have more traffic import, but they still can't challenge YouTube. There are now a lot of videos on YouTube that have clicked more than one million, and there are also some videos that have been clicked over 10 million. There are already hundreds of Internet celebrities who have followed 100,000. This has to be thanks to the popularization of US imperialist photography and video equipment, without which it would not have been possible for YouTube to get such a great development.

"That's not necessarily," Schmidt did not concede

"Then we'll see," Moritz didn't pay any more attention to him

On the other hand, Zhou Shi is also thinking about what so many companies should do, and it is not a way to run around all the time. How should we balance the situation at home and abroad? Can Twitter and YouTube really continue? To tell the truth, Zhou Shi has always been worried about the xenophobic forces of US imperialism, and Zhou Shi, who cannot resist it at that time, may not be able to retreat with his whole body, and may even be empty-handed. As for giving up abroad, it is not reconciled to go all out at home, one market is the sea, and the other market is a big pond. There is no real dragon in the pond, this is a word that has been passed down through the ages, and it will not be wrong to think about it.

It happened that Lu He Yeyang and others were also in the United States, and they asked them to come over to chat, and Zhou Shi talked about this confusion.

"Which of these companies do you think is more valuable?" Ye Yang asked

"It's hard to say, their meanings are different" Zhou Shizhen didn't think about this issue carefully, "If it is purely from the perspective of economic value, time friends and games may be the most valuable, and time network is the least valuable." YouTube is probably the second most valuable thing in the U.S., followed by Twitter. But Twitter and YouTube have more profound social implications. Assuming that I can always control these two companies, it is equivalent to the state having two more windows for direct external propaganda, which is likely to play a greater role than all the external propaganda agencies in China combined!" Zhou Shi thought about it and felt that it was more accurate to say this.

"You're bragging, aren't you? "Ye Yang is an elite who looks quite young

Let's put it this way, the total number of hits of China's Got Talent is close to 100 million, and excluding repeated views and those watched from the same IP address, there are roughly 5 million audiences. YouTube's position as the king of video sites has been initially established, with the development of the Internet. More and more people will watch online videos, and our influencer and revenue sharing programs will greatly stimulate the creation of original videos. Piracy will also become less and less of a threat to us. It's fair to say that as long as YouTube doesn't make a mistake, it will become the largest video outlet in the United States, with an audience that far exceeds that of any of the four major television networks. Zhou Shi looked at the surprised few people and continued: "As for Twitter, it may become the world's largest self-media platform, and the news that happens anywhere in the world may be known to the whole world simultaneously." If the user scope of this platform is all over the world, then its social significance and news dissemination significance can be imagined."
