Chapter 162: Davos speech
As the chairman of Twitter, Zhou Shi took over the task of giving a speech of about ten minutes.
This kind of speech is a good opportunity to show off if it is said well, and if it is not said well, it will be embarrassing. And it is a shame in front of the global elite. None of us had much preparation, and they all made some presentations at the industry discussions in the past few days. But this time it was different, and he was dealing with global politicians and corporate leaders.
Since he didn't have much time to prepare, he regretted the matter of Twitter, so he had to say what he was best at. The topic of Zhou Shi's speech is also ready - building a cyber world with equal information.
The presentation began with the advent of YouTube and Twitter, two sites that further spawned the degree of space-time separation, and their impact was clearly a milestone: as individuals were withdrawn from their original social relations, the inherent authority of everyone on YouTube and Twitter tended to disintegrate, both in terms of receiving information and exerting influence: YouTube and Twitter built a new world based on information equality.
And for example, after some scandals, the parties may cover up and destroy the evidence, and by the time the reporter comes to interview, they have already dealt with the matter and give false information. However, YouTube and Twitter can publish the truth of the matter as soon as possible, and can take photos to leave evidence, and self-media people take the responsibility of interviewing, and it is very difficult for the parties to clean up the scene after the fact, which is conducive to the public to exercise supervision power more effectively.
He also used the example of Michael Jackson that in the Internet age, everyone can publish their positions and opinions through a series of online terminals as a means to win more supporters.
Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the JAVA version of Twitter, and a message popped up on it: 30 minutes ago, that is, xxxx American time, there was a traffic accident in Silicon Valley, and Pete, a middle-level employee of a department of Google, was injured in the accident and is now rushing to Stanford Hospital for rescue.
Because a Twitter celebrity happened to be passing by, saw this incident, and edited and published the news. It's just that this Twitter celebrity has more than 1 million followers, so that the news of the Google employee's injury was notified to millions of users as soon as possible. In this way, information is disseminated beyond the limitations of time and space. Several people gathered around Smit, wanting to know the exact news.
Zhou Shi temporarily stopped his speech, waiting for Smit to call to confirm, if it weren't for the fact that the current software's support for pictures was not very good, and the pixel of the mobile phone camera was not high, Zhou Shi really wanted to spread the news of this venue all over the world and give them a greater shock.
Soon, Smit called to confirm that it was true.
Obviously, this proves that the future influence of Twitter and YouTube is unquestionable, and some nimble people can even speculate that they may have a great impact on the political ecology and social life of the world in the future.
The speech was over, but the questions about Zhou Shi had just begun, and everyone was very interested in his topic and had a heated discussion. YouTube and Twitter also detonated the whole of Davos on this last day of the meeting.
There were also some hiccups in the middle, where someone mentioned the mainland and asked Zhou Shi if the establishment of Twitter was because of the mainland's suppression of information and his creativity.
"The idea of Twitter came from my idea of EB2.0, and his improvement came from the improvement we thought of because of the non-objective coverage of certain TV stations in the United States, and the change between Twitter and YouTube is more about our team's belief that people all over the world should have an opportunity for everyone to understand themselves and know themselves. You can keep your thoughts from losing vitality over time," Zhou Shi replied slowly.
Some people also asked him whether the oil pipeline in the mainland will maintain the principle of global consistency and maintain information equality.
"There is no doubt that we will uphold our values by all means, where it is legal, and we always believe that information can change the world. Zhou Shi then emphasized once again that regardless of whether it is in mainland China or overseas, abiding by local laws is the company's first choice.
An endless stream of people surrounded Zhou Shi, Shirley and other management teams of YouTube. They didn't get back to their rooms until late afternoon and also missed Google's private jet for the return trip.
"Are we famous this time!" Cheng Shijun
"I think you're right," Holly, "we're famous." ”
"We've been famous for a long time, but we're more famous now, and there are more possibilities in the future. "Zhou Shi never forgets to give this team chicken blood.
"yes, the main thing we have now is to turn this fame into our strength" Shirley
"I don't know if these people are really interested in YouTube, or if they're just curious"
"This time thanks to Bill Gai, I don't know why he praised us. "Haoley
"The big guy's idea is too difficult to figure out, maybe the other party wants to buy us" Zhou Shi felt that something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking, and several people fell silent.
"Everyone said, if Bill Gai wants to buy us, how do we choose?"
"What do you choose between Microsoft and Google under the same conditions?"
"What if the other party just wants to buy shares?"
A few people didn't care about the physical exhaustion, and the mental excitement made them return to the room and still discuss, especially in the face of the prying eyes of these big guys, no one could be indifferent. But the media and technology giants appeared one after another, and everyone's psychological pressure was really great, at this time, Shirley's mobile phone suddenly rang, and she also got up and walked into her bedroom to make a call. Everyone seemed to have a sudden feeling, as if they knew what was going to happen, and they were all waiting for the call to end.
"Mr. Bill Gaison invited us to return in two hours on his private jet," Shirley said without the slightest hesitation as soon as she returned.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and there is silence for a while.
"What should come will still come, and it's useless for us to be careful now. Let's talk about the future of the company, do we have a chance to become a great company like Microsoft and Google?" Zhou Shi also doesn't know what these people think now, according to Google's $1.65 billion offer to acquire YouTube in the previous life, the current price should be far above this, and they are likely to agree.
"I ......" Cheng Shijun didn't know what to say, confidence Yes or No?
Shirley has no problem with the ownership of the company, as long as her status can be guaranteed. Moreover, the contract was signed at that time. If the company is bought within a short period of time, she will also receive a large amount of compensation.
There was no result for a while, and everyone was unwilling to miss this rare opportunity, so time became tight, so everyone hurriedly packed their bags and checked out. After taking care of the follow-up matters, I finally arrived at an airport in Davos before the appointed time and saw the $65 million Bombardier Global Express in Bill Cap.
Reply to the Southern Dipper, thank you for your support, I'm writing now that I'm very slow whether I'm ideating or typing, and I can only make progress in the future, and the update can be brought up. I sent it directly after I wrote the previous one, and when I looked back, I found a lot of problems. Now, if I had the energy, I'd go through it roughly, with less energy. So it will be a delay again, but today there are three more, and I will send another chapter later, thank you for your support!!
