Google's proposed acquisition has made everyone uneasy. Zhou Shi only has 28% of the shares, and it is obvious that he can't make a decision on such a major matter. Fortunately, this is not the final offer, and it has not been announced to the public.

Sequoia was also a little hesitant, Zhou Shi and the others had already shown Sequoia the direction of future development, and the possibility of success was very high. Especially since coming to the United States, especially after Baidu's listing, Zhou Shi's net worth has skyrocketed, and Zhou Shi and Moritz have significantly more interactions, and they have gained more respect in communication. The development direction of YouTube has also been improved a lot in the discussion again and again, and YouTube can at least become an influential media platform, and according to the characteristics of Internet development, the role of this media platform may far exceed that of several major TV networks.

"Have you ever considered becoming an American citizen?" After an exchange, Moritz and Zhou Shi were walking in the garden behind the house, and the wise old man asked Zhou Shi this question.

Could this be a solicitation from the American elite? Zhou Shi's not strong brain spun rapidly, thinking about how to answer. Yes or no? It's hard to choose.

"I have thought about it, but I think that China's development potential is very huge, and it will bring great inconvenience to my future development if I give up my Chinese nationality now. Zhou Shi replied honestly.

"But if you don't become a U.S. citizen, there will be a lot of inconvenience now, and I think you should feel it, and some people are even suggesting that if you quit the management of YouTube, they can quickly reach a cooperation agreement with us. "Moritz also added weight

"What do you think, if everyone wants me to quit, I have nothing to say" Zhou Shi

"This is Silicon Valley, the most open and inclusive place in the country. This is Silicon Valley, a place where all our idealists can develop freely. Moritz looked at Zhou Shi seriously, "Everyone has no idea of giving in, but the risks can be imagined." ”

Zhou Shi silently walked on the way home, thinking about countermeasures, there was almost no experience to learn from in his previous life. The Chinese billionaires who have succeeded in Silicon Valley do not seem to have Chinese from the mainland. Whether it's Nvidia's Jensen Huang or Broadcom's Malay, or Kingston's two bigwigs. The Chinese on the mainland are obviously the targets of discrimination in the United States, and if they want to directly participate in the challenges of the global market here, there will obviously be many inexplicable difficulties.

"Dong Zhou, is there anything going on today?" Li Lingyun saw Zhou Shi silent in the living room in the evening, and asked with concern. Fan Liuyi heard this and also walked over.

"Everyone sit down, I do encounter a very difficult problem to choose" Zhou Shi saw the two of them coming over, beckoned them to sit down, and discussed together.

"What's the problem?" said Fan Liuyi

"Somebody wanted me to become an American citizen and become an American. "Zhou Shi

"It's not good, I want to be an American!"

Zhou Shi looked at her in disbelief, and didn't say much, could it be that the Chinese people in this era still yearn for the United States so much? Don't they know that the US imperialists are not a paradise, or that the US imperialism is only a paradise for the rich? Their so-called fairness, freedom, and equality are nothing but clumsy lies!

"If Jay Chou joins the United States, what will happen to those domestic companies?"

"I'm also thinking about this, the domestic development speed will obviously be much faster than the United States, and it is obviously easier for us to grow and develop in that market environment. Zhou Shi said cautiously, who knows if it is safe here.

"How good the United States is, free and easy, we can do whatever we want," Fan Liuyi

"This cooperation with those TV stations and film and television companies, some people said that they wanted me to quit the management of YouTube, and they would quickly reach a cooperation agreement with YouTube," Zhou Shi continued, "After the difficulty, someone immediately suggested that I join the United States

"Do they discriminate against the Chinese?" said Li Lingyun

"Especially the Chinese on the mainland," Zhou Shi added

"Then don't you want to join the US imperialists?" Fan Liuyi

Zhou Shi glanced at Li Lingyun and replied to Fan Liuyi: "Maybe, but the US imperialism is the present, and the mainland is the future." I don't have a good choice!"

Although the two girls are eye-catching, and Yinggeyan's voice is also very pleasant, they still can't give him satisfactory advice, maybe there is not much choice in this kind of thing.

Under all kinds of complicated circumstances, Zhou Shi interrupted the global development of YouTube, temporarily consolidated and developed the market in English-speaking countries, reduced expenses, increased advertising cooperation, and also had traffic cooperation with Google, and also had some more sources of income.

But the problem was still not solved, but James of the CW TV network appeared next to Zhou Shi again. This guy used to be in the variety department, and the huge success of America's Got Talent has given him a lot of development in his career path, but office politics is everywhere, especially with the combined TV network. James was secretly demoted by Mingsheng and kicked to the TV drama department. Zhou Shi's popularity in the United States gave him hope.

"You're not mistaken, I'm doing the Internet, not TV dramas, and I rarely watch TV, whether it's American or continental. When Zhou Shi heard that James wanted to cooperate with Zhou in an American drama, he immediately shook his head and refused.

"Simon, we had such a good time working together before, you can't sit idly by with me this time, and working with me will also help a lot with YouTube's current predicament" James cleverly said, but this logic is also drunk.

"Oh, how can it help?" Zhou Shi said lukewarmly

"If the CW's TV series is a big success with the help of YouTube, will they reconsider working with you? "James

"Of course, but first of all, there must be a successful TV series" Zhou Shi

"It's up to you, I trust your eyes" James

"Can you have a more plausible reason? Zhou Shizhen thinks that this guy is crazy, he likes to watch American dramas, but how to shoot a successful American drama, he has the right to speak.

"You don't, but you have a different perspective on the aesthetics of entertainment, and as you can see from the Got Talent, you're born with a sense of entertainment," James added, adding: "Or maybe it's amazing luck, whatever the reason, it's worth the gamble." ”

"If you don't bet on you'll die, if you develop well, maybe you'll be the chairman of the CW network in ten years, is it necessary to gamble like this?"

"But I probably won't last more than ten years!" James

"Why, the credit of the talent show is not enough?" Zhou Shi asked

"If it hadn't been for the merger, I might have had the opportunity to become chairman of CBS in 10 years, but now that it's merged, it's only CW Network, and there are so many disputes between the two companies that I'm a natural target. James said helplessly

Zhou Shi listened to it and felt very reasonable, and under James's promise, he still agreed to his request and began to have a challenge.
