Chapter 159: Being discriminated against

Shirley Sandberg and the rest of the studios, more precisely, the media giants' negotiations are going well, but of course the main targets are clear: Time Warner, Disney, Viacom and News Corp., and the rest is just a bunny, by the way.

Sony Music came to the door at this time, and Zhou Shi couldn't help but think of Jackson.

Things turned out as expected, and Mike, who had been suppressed by these media for a long time, gained momentum with the help of two major Internet companies. Every tweet has tens of millions of views, and every dance video has tens of millions of views. With attention, there are endorsements, commercial performances and the like, and Jackson's financial situation quickly improved. Sony Music's conspiracy went bankrupt with it. Unwilling to fail, Sony Music found YouTube, for what can be imagined.

"What do you guys think of Michael Jackson?" Zhou Shi was really curious, and when he saw Shirley who came to him, he couldn't help but ask. "Is Jackson a king or a monster in your eyes?"

"It's hard to say, it's complicated, I personally think he's more of a heavenly king!"

"Oh, seeing Jackson rejuvenated, a lot of people can't sit still?"

"I'm afraid it's true. "Shirley

"This shows that our idea of information equity has come a long way, and we are no longer the people the media can fool with it. "Zhou Shi

"Is this your ideal too?" Shirley

Of course, you don't know, the news I received since I was a child is "the leaders are very busy, the Chinese children are very happy, and the people of the world are in dire straits", I have always wanted to see objective and fair news, but after the Internet, I found that information fairness is a big problem in the world. So with Twitter and YouTube now. "Zhou Shi

"Your ideals are great, but watch out for Jackson, why don't you worry about yourself?"

"I, what do I have to worry about?" Zhou Shi asked strangely.

"Although I don't want to admit it, but in fact discrimination still exists, you are Chinese, but also mainlander, and many people are prejudiced against you. "Shirley

"Silicon Valley or the Big Six?" Zhou Shi asked

"Yes, but Silicon Valley is more tolerant. "Shirley

"What do you think I should do?"

"I don't know, maybe becoming an American citizen would be a good option. ”

"Yes, you mean I should give in to them!" Zhou Shi

"No, no one asks you to do that, and we will support you no matter how you choose. "Shirley

"Thank you, my friend. "Zhou Shi is quite unhappy, are the conservative forces of US imperialism or competitors? Is it for their beliefs or for the ultimate benefit?

Sometimes it is still too taken for granted, Zhou Shi thinks that as long as it is beneficial to both parties, cooperation and negotiation will be easy, but in fact, there will be off-site factors affecting the world all the time, so that many things cannot develop according to the rational and optimal plan. I don't know who it is this time, or everyone, but it's a bit naïve to think that you want to cooperate with most people from the beginning.

"We do the process well and then work with companies that are very sincere. Zhou Shi quickly made a decision. Negotiating with the other party can at least prove that YouTube subjectively does not have the idea of malicious infringement.

"Okay, I see. "Shirley

Now that there are signs of discrimination, I am afraid that those people will not be without other actions. In the previous life, many Internet companies at home and abroad received large-scale attacks from hacker groups.

Most famously, on November 24, 2014, the hacker group "Peace Defenders" released emails from Sony Pictures employees about the company's executive compensation and copies of Sony's non-released films. Because of the involvement of many film and television stars and celebrities from all walks of life, the company's co-chairman Amy Pascal was forced to resign. This is not the first time Sony has been hacked, as in 2011, millions of users on Sony's PSN network were stolen.

Fortunately, learning from Xiaozha's lesson, Zhou Shi has always paid attention to user privacy and security. Even when the time friends network was at its most chaotic, it didn't let them relax their security vigilance, not to mention YouTube, which was safe, stable and convenient, and the access speed was maintained at a high level.

And in January, Zhou Shi has a more important thing to participate in, and that is the World Economic Forum, commonly known as the Davos Forum. YouTube was invited as a global growth company, known as the New Champions, a new form of membership introduced by the World Economic Forum to refer to a new breed of multinational corporations that are growing rapidly. The three founders who traveled, Shirley and Zhou Shi.

Under the theme of "The Changing Landscape of Power", more than 2,000 dignitaries and people from about 90 countries and regions discussed the challenges facing the world in 2007 and how to deal with them. Related to them is Technology and Society: Characteristics, Commonalities and Networks: Discussion of Business Development Trends in the Process of Economic Globalization!

Speaking of this invitation, it is also a benefit brought by PPAP's global popularity, and the global influence of YouTube cannot be ignored, so it is a good opportunity to further publicize it, and perhaps gain more allies.

Just as they were about to travel, they were pleasantly surprised. Google's two founders invited them to Davos together.

It's a $200 million Boeing 767, and Google's founders hired senior aircraft designer Leslie Jennings to oversee the modification of the dedicated Boeing 767, which is said to cost millions of dollars. Renovations include Bryn's oversized plush bed, Page's "state room," fitness room, and piano. Well, the luxury of the rich man is beyond Zhou Shi's imagination, he is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, entering the plane and looking around.

"Hahaha, do you like it, you can have it too. An old man disrupted Zhou Shi's reverie, Zhou Shi saw such a luxurious aircraft, the first thing he thought of was the domestic big fly, he had never paid attention to it, and he didn't know if this aircraft had started to be established. In his previous life, Zhou Shi only dreamed of it, and did not understand the development of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (hereinafter referred to as COMAC), a large domestic aircraft company. I don't know if COMAC needs an operating system, and whether it can use the Android they developed.

"Yes, how much does this big guy have to pay?" Zhou Shi asked curiously.

"About $200 million, I don't think that's a difficult number for you, right?"

"Why do you say that? I don't have enough cash right now. "Zhou Shi

"I heard Jobs say, you bought 1 million shares of Apple, and you are so optimistic about Apple's development?" the old man suddenly changed the topic.

"Well, yes, I actually make this kind of mobile phone, and I also set up a new mobile phone company in partnership with others, just to develop this kind of mobile phone, I didn't expect them to make the finished product so early, and they do it very well in many places, beyond my imagination. For example, the operating system and multi-touch screen!" Zhou Shi desperately blew Apple, "I really didn't expect that Apple is such a great company, I think they have redefined our understanding of mobile phones, their operating system is great, and it may replace Microsoft's market position in the field of mobile operating systems in the future, and there seems to be no company in Silicon Valley that has such courage and foresight as theirs!"

"Not necessarily, Google also has its own operating system: Android!" said a young programmer ape walking outside.

Zhou Shi turned his head quietly, and it turned out to be Larry Page.
