After a few months, Yahoo CFO Morse finally streamlined Yahoo's product line with Zhou Shi's support, and with the merger of Yelp into Yahoo, it was inevitable to insert his hand into Yelp. The contradiction between him and Eberson also appeared, this kind of thing is beneficial to Zhou Shi's control, and naturally he will not take sides. Most of the emperors and generals in ancient times were good at balancing power, and Zhou Shi studied psychology for a long time, not to mention that he could integrate the essence of the East and the West, at least some basic leadership qualities would still be able to, and the rest would be to continue to learn and sum up experience.

In the past few months, Yahoo, which had been in turmoil, quickly stabilized, a large number of personnel flowed, and fresh blood joined, so that Zhou Shi's control of Yahoo has also reached the strongest time among the previous executives. His changes to Yahoo have not stopped, and when Yahoo's market capitalization exceeds 100 billion dollars in a few years, he will try to convert some of his shares into shares with super voting rights, without more than 50% of the voting rights, how can you say that this company is yours. Except, of course, companies like Amazon, which can reach trillions.

However, Zhou Shi's various behaviors may not be recognized by everyone, especially his behavior of forcing Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo, the two joint founders, to be even more criticized. Although Zhou Shirang invited Yang Zhiyuan to become an independent director of Guoke, and Fei Luo to become an independent director of NetSuite, it can be regarded as a compensation for them. After all, there are still many people at home and abroad who have a bad opinion of him.

Zhou Shi has many reasons for doing this, and there are many reasons not to do it, but since he has made a decision, he naturally will not regret it, and there is no need to explain anything. Rational people will naturally understand, and you can't understand people who can't understand it. Most investors are quite supportive of Zhou Shi and did not embarrass him on the board of directors. There is also a reason why Google announced the Google Brain plan, although there are a few key people missing, but Google's funds and strength are there, and sooner or later it will embark on this road, and the unexpected thing is that they announced their plans less than three months after Yahoo released the news, which is really a bit fast. Whether in terms of capital or talent advantages, Yahoo still has a gap with Google in a short period of time.

Even though Yahoo Search now has more than 15 percent of the U.S. market, it's still no match for Google, and the two are no longer even on the same level. It may only perform well after waiting for the mobile market to exert its strength and deeply integrate with Toutiao and Yahoo News APP. The most important thing is that after the initial success of Yahoo Brain, it will combine artificial intelligence technology with search, and at that time, through the bundling of Chrome and Firefox, it is likely that there will be a big breakthrough. Zhou Shi's layout is almost all over the Internet, as long as Chrome does not fail, Yahoo Search will almost certainly not be surpassed by Microsoft Bing, as for how much market share it can occupy in the world, I really don't know.

"Simon, in fact, you don't need me to do well, I see that everything is on the right track for Yahoo, unless all our projects fail now, the rise of Yahoo is inevitable......" Chen Shouzong

"Nothing is inevitable, we are probably less than 12 months away from bankruptcy, technology is changing too fast, Yahoo doesn't have a steady stream of profit, it's a very passive thing, and it's not impossible that all projects fail. "Zhou Shi

"I think everyone is very confident!" Chen Shouzong

"That's not necessarily, there have always been worries about technology, and walking on this unknown road, many of us are worried about whether a devil will be released!" Zhou Shi

"What devil?" said Chen Shouzong

"You know whether it's Famp; F's information flow is still Yahoo's information flow, the intelligent recommendation algorithm is the core, the essence of this algorithm is to analyze the user's preferences, and then push news information that meets their interests and hobbies, so will it close them in a circle, increase their negative feelings, or will it become addictive, Famp; If our news products are also addictive, although it is a good thing for Yahoo, this is what I have always been worried about, we can't limit one's horizons, we can't fool the people...... "Zhou Shi

"You're right, but neither Yahoo News nor Toutiao have been successful, and it's too early to worry about it. "Chen Shouzong

"Yes, it's too early!" Zhou Shi did not refute, the development speed of the mobile Internet has exceeded the expectations of most people, and in the previous life, companies such as Toutiao may not have the idea of improvement, but many times entrepreneurs are pushed forward by users, and if you don't run or can't keep up with the rhythm of user changes, you may fail quickly. Therefore, a consistently excellent and capable team is the key.

"I also don't think there's a need to worry too much, I can break this limitation by adjusting the algorithm in the future...... "Marissa Mayer also came over

"Okay, but we need to pay attention to the emotions of the company's people, and try to keep Yahoo News manually recommended!" Zhou Shi

"With human recommendations, Yahoo News may not be able to keep up with our needs. "Chen Shouzong

"It seems that we need to recruit a group of journalists who do not want to be paid," Zhou Shi

"Can this be done?" Marisa Mayer asked curiously, Zhou Shi's brain hole is very big, and she has not known it for a long time.

"There is no way for the time being, but we can break down the boundaries of global news, so that Yahoo News from all over the world can appear on news apps in Europe and the United States. "Zhou Shi

"This kind of news, except for international events, generally does not have many audiences, and not many people like it. "Chen Shouzong

"It's okay, the focus now is on giving people information to look at, not satisfying their hobbies. Moreover, it can make news from the United States the first recommended choice, Europe is the second choice, China and the Asia-Pacific region are the third choice, and news from other regions is the last priority. The other is to increase the popularization of life knowledge, and finally sponsor Wikipedia and the acquisition of Quora, and integrate them into Yahoo News and Toutiao ...... respectively "Zhou Shi, Quora's popularity again, and the failure of the Q&A service on Friends.com can explain a lot of problems, and it is not creative to succeed." The fact that the Time Music Radio version also did not compete with Pandora Radio also proves this. Good ideas are not the key to success, but a good team is the key to success. Time Music integrates the radio function into the music software, and recommends personalized song lists and radio stations through the user's use experience, which has become the first choice in the music market. Zhou Shi deliberately emphasized the issue of the source of news, just to push the news of China to the United States, and let everyone know about China through subtle influence. As for the encyclopedia and Q&A services, they are just to attract more traffic.

"Simon, Yahoo has its own Q&A service!" said Marissa Mayer

"Then let Toutiao buy Quora!" "Zhou Shi, Quora is the American version of Zhihu, which is very compelling. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
