Chapter 514: Why Sell Friends.com

Rubinstein's departure was really surprising, and he was not psychologically prepared at all, let alone who to take over, and there was no suitable candidate within the company, or Feng Xing could only be temporarily concurrent. Of course, his departure should not be immediate, and there must be a buffer of a few months.

"Lao Feng, do we have any idea who we will find to take over after Rubinstein leaves, after all, our main market is abroad, and many things are prone to problems without connections and experienced assistants. This is our opportunity and our challenge!"

"This candidate is very important, and it is best to have experience in the mobile phone industry," Feng Xing

"Well, you and Rubinstein discuss coming, don't let him go if there is no suitable person"

"Haha, that's what you said, and if he wants to have an opinion, let him go when the time comes. ”

"Of course I'm always welcome! It's better not to go, it's a hassle to find someone. "Zhou Shi

Guoke and Huawei are not the same, from the beginning of the international route, the main market is also concentrated in Europe and the United States due to the problem of 3G licenses, the Japanese market is not even half of Apple's mobile phone, the partner is mainly SoftBank Mobile, the South Korean market is even more miserable, it is slightly better this year, about more than one percent of the sales volume of the smartphone market. Although the domestic sales of Guoke mobile phones are developing rapidly, the proportion of global sales of the entire Guoke mobile phones is not high, roughly about 10%. A white elite who is well-versed in the international market is indispensable in many cases, and it is certainly impossible to treat those foreign executives as uncles like Lenovo, and the centralized board-oriented compliance department has always been one of the most important departments of Zhou Shi's company.

Thinking about it, there are still a lot of things, such as the financing of Fruitshell, yelp, and Zynga, the financing and equity transfer of Twitter, the acquisition and restructuring of Netsuite, the merger of Facebook and Friends, the acquisition of Marvel by Disney, and the merger of Tianhe Meibang......

There is no doubt that this sudden event disrupted Zhou Shi's arrangement and allowed him to return to work. Even if he doesn't do anything, everyone sees him with more confidence, that's what Time Pichai said.

The merger of two large companies, the adjustment of the company's management, and the anxiety of employees. Including Lu Qi, Shirley also had a lot of complaints about Zhou Shi, and both of them had a feeling of being hurt.

Zhou Shi sat next to them tremblingly, some things can't be avoided, they are professional managers, but also partners.

"Alright, don't pretend" Luki

"I'm guilty and can't face everyone. "Zhou Shi

"Why merge, aren't you prepared to give us a real reason in person?"

"Whatever the reason, I have harmed the interests of my friend's company. "Zhou Shi

"Is there really no other choice?" said Lucky

"It's not that there is no choice, it's the best thing I can think of. Zhou Shi then told the cause and effect of this incident one by one, "If you have paid attention to the development of things, you should know that I have almost unified the public opinion of the American Internet in those days, which includes my efforts and the framing of my opponent in deep water." If I don't do anything, will anyone say that I interfere with freedom of speech? Will anyone believe me in the future?"

"......" If Zhou Shi didn't say it, they really hadn't paid attention to these. I just remember that it seems that at the beginning of the Internet in the United States, especially social networks, there were almost no negative news about Zhou Shi, most of them were praises, doubting the authenticity of all his negative information, as if the entire American Internet was Zhou Shi's home turf. Don't think about it, the masterminds behind the scenes, led by Goldman Sachs, obviously knew that in Internet public opinion, they could not have a big impact on Zhou Shi, so they simply pushed the boat down the river and killed Zhou Shi. In this way, regardless of whether Zhou Shi can really control public opinion on the Internet or whether he can survive the current crisis, he will be suppressed by more groups, either explicitly or covertly, and even directly or indirectly intervened by the government.

"But there's no need to ......" What does Lu Qi want to say, there is no need to give up all the tools of public opinion? But Zhou Shi really doesn't, whether it is YouTube, Twitter, or Friends, he has shares, although he can't directly affect public opinion in the future, but at least it can have an indirect impact. For a businessman who is doing business normally, this is enough.

"I am from China, I have Chinese nationality, maybe the United States always has special worries about China!" Zhou Shi

"Hopefully, this apology for the Chinese Exclusion Act will pass!" Shirley whispered

"You don't need this expression, I told Zach that he is very much in favor of my idea of promoting the integration of East and West, and is willing to help me to a certain extent, or maybe the family will participate in the process of promoting the integration of East and West. "Zhou Shi

"Really?" Lucky

"Well, we all believe that it is good for the world to maintain the integration of cultural diversity, the world does not need a voice, there is a competitor, it is better for the United States!" Zhou Shi

"U.S. hegemonism, if it develops to the extreme, is self-destructive!"

"I don't know if it is destroyed or not, if there is no external pressure, the upper class of society may be solidified, and if the bottom of the society has no room to rise, the whole society will collapse. "Zhou Shi

"You're thinking too much!" said Luki

"Maybe!, but my current behavior is more for self-preservation!" Zhou Shi

This time, neither Shirley nor Luffy retorted.

"Every time you join your company, you end up being bought!" said Shirley Sandberg

"I~~" Zhou Shi was speechless, he fooled Shirley into YouTube was acquired, and then went to Yelp, but Shirley didn't recognize how much success this development model was, and then came to Friends.com, and Friends.com was acquired/merged.

"Hey, a company with a market value prospect of 100 billion dollars is just giving it away! It's really unwilling!"

"You can still continue to be involved in creating this legend, and my idea is that Zuckerberg will be the chairman, and Lu Qi will be the CEO, or maybe the dual CEO, and Shirley will be the COO, and the CFO will be someone from Facebook. As for whether Friends Network and Facebook operate separately or unifiedly, we will discuss it after the merger. "Zhou Shi, after splitting some unsuitable assets, the two companies will merge according to the ratio of one to one. As for the objections of Google and Microsoft, it can basically be ignored.

"That's it!" Lu Qi obviously didn't want to lose such an opportunity, in fact, even if they left the friend network, there would be good jobs waiting for them, but it was difficult to appear that the development prospect was greater than that of his friend Facebook. Even Zhou Shi is difficult to establish a company with a market value prospect of 100 billion yuan again.

"After the merger, our ideals also need your escort, and we can't completely pin our hopes on others. "Zhou Shi

“......”

"New companies may have greater development prospects, and how to achieve that one plus one is greater than two is also a huge challenge. "Zhou Shi
