Chapter 956 - Super APP

Zhou Shi is not worried about Trump's doubts at all, as long as he donates Time Holdings, he can create a golden body for himself. Although this golden body may not be of much use for the time being, as his philanthropy grows, it will one day be unbreakable.

Time Holdings will also open up the growth path around the world again, and it is difficult to make irresponsible comments about it for political reasons. Under fair play, it may take more than a decade for a group of idealists to defeat commercial interests.

Yahoo directly rejected Time Warner's acquisition, and Zhou Shi asked Time Holdings to talk to them about the acquisition of Time Group. Anyway, you can't let the Warner Group group be idle, find something to do, don't bother him.

"How are you feeling lately?" Zhou Shi asked Da Liu with a smile

"I'm annoyed, there are too many reporters at once!" Da Liu

Under the operation of Zhou Shi, Da Liu won the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award this year, two Nobel Prizes in science fiction. And he has participated in some activities in the European and American science fiction circles many times, not only mixed with a familiar face, but also has been widely appreciated in the circle. At the same time, the promotion of Silicon Valley elites such as Zhou Shi made him from the science fiction circle to the IT technology circle. Ao Guanhai even invited Da Liu to the White House to chat. As for whether the domestic leaders have great respect for Da Liu, it is difficult to say this kind of thing. However, some bigwigs have quoted certain sentences from "The Three-Body Problem" in some speeches.

"You should be happy troubles!" Zhou Shi

"Haha, that's fine. "Da Liu

It's been many years since they realized it in '08.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame is beneficial, this era gives the definition of these two words. Whether it is entertainment, sports, film and television stars or Internet celebrity stars, they all have their own living space. It's not about who is good and who is bad, the chain of contempt is just their own feelings. It's all the same for capital, but it's different for Zhou Shi.

Being able to write a logical and self-consistent book is wonderful, and such a person has a very rich imagination, and may be able to build a world. Well, that doesn't seem to matter. Who makes literary works more infectious, anyway, he reads books for study, and movies for recreation.

"Do you think my approach is useful?" Zhou Shi and Da Liu explained in detail why he wants to set up the world's largest social enterprise.

Max Weber advocated social stratification based on economic, political, and social criteria, in which economic criteria correspond to wealth, political criteria correspond to power, and social criteria correspond to prestige. The starting point for you to set up a social enterprise should be to improve your reputation, right?"

"Power, wealth and prestige? I didn't think about that, but I just felt that the widening of the gap between the rich and the poor to a certain extent would mean an imbalance in society, and that all the financial order could be restructured, and it could cause great turmoil in the social order. I set up this social enterprise to reduce the impact of the gap between the rich and the poor. One day, it will be possible to reduce the role of power and wealth in the life of society. "Zhou Shi

"It seems easy to achieve, but if robots and artificial intelligence become common, ordinary workers will become worthless!" Da Liu

"I know, you mean to say that ordinary people can't make money, they can only be supported by the state, and even the army can be played by robots. But you know what the meaning of wealth is? For example, if you own 90 percent of the world's gold, can gold still be the general equivalent? If wealth is too concentrated, the existing financial order will inevitably be broken. Because "money" loses any meaning, most people will deny its existence. Or there will be a large currency depreciation, which will directly reduce the value of the previous currency by hundreds or thousands of times. "Zhou Shi

Many people who fantasize about the future society describe the future as particularly terrifying, there are too many loopholes in their setting, finance, technology and society are the foundations of the future world, politics is dependent on the existence of society, wealth is born from society, and pure material has no value. For example, if there is only one person left on the earth, and everything belongs to him, whether it is gold, oil, land, or houses, do you say that he is rich or poor? Whether it is a politician or a rich man, the first thing to maintain is social order, and only technology is not needed. Technology is not ethical, especially in modern society, where many technological advances are anti-human. Therefore, in the future, it will almost certainly be the progress of science and technology that will shake the foundation of society, not the unkindness of the rich.

The reason why Zhou Shi made Time Holdings take social interests as the core is not not to make money, but to have a sense of distress and make a choice between commercial interests and social interests without hesitation. Inevitably, it can turn the situation around and limit the direction of science and technology.

To be honest, Zhou Shi just watched science fiction, because no matter whether he wrote this literati or science and engineering with a technical background, he rarely moved the economy and society, that is, most of them were specialists rather than all-rounders. Naturally, there will be big loopholes, even aliens have their own cultural and social backgrounds, and it is not impossible for worries such as dark forests to exist, but in billions of years, how many times can a civilization be destroyed and reborn?

Zhou Shi stayed in Silicon Valley, the spin-off of Yahoo and Yelp came to an end, and the shareholders of the board of directors had no opinion on this spin-off, and the development of Yahoo was here, and we could not say with a clear conscience that Zhou Shi was not good, and there was a problem with this split! Of course, capital has no morality at all, and it can even turn its back on the country and honor for the sake of profit, and the key is that Zhou Shi has the support of shareholders with more than 51 percent of the voting rights, and there is no basis for minority shareholders to sue Zhou Shi for harming the public interest. You must know that Yahoo's stock price is now maintaining a steady upward trend.

Zhou Shi, who was indispensable for tossing, once again confirmed the status of Yahoo Messenger Super APP at the company meeting.

"We want to open up some of Yahoo Messenger's interfaces and traffic windows, so that more applications and functions appear in Yahoo Messenger, relying on our huge traffic, maybe it can become a network operating system...... "Zhou Shi explained the idea of Yahoo Messenger super APP, there are many self-righteous people who think that the cultural differences between China and the United States are large, and it is difficult for Huaxia's super APP to be recognized by European and American users. However, Facebook Learning has become a super APP, and there are still more than one billion users, which shows that user habits can be changed. Just as Steve Jobs can change the usage habits and aesthetic requirements of mobile phone users, the so-called single-function APP is more professional and the user's favorite, which is just a possibility to guess based on the actual situation.

Adjust the direction of Yahoo from time to time, there is not much to bother him, Zhou Shi feels quite comfortable. 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.
