The Chinese hacker storm soon disappeared into silence, and Zhou Shi, who took Palantir seriously, began to learn more about the company. A lot of them are genius programmers, which is really enviable. Why is there so much less talent in time?

In fact, Zhou Shi is also not greedy enough, for example, Pichai hired a vice president of engineering at Mozilla, Mike Skolopf, who is responsible for Firefox's global product development, that is, the future CTO of Facebook. Lu Qi is also planning to acquire a website called FriendFeed, through which users can aggregate information about their feeds on some popular social networks into a single feed, such as Titter messages, YouTube videos, bookmarks, and Flickr images. The main purpose is also Brett Taylor, one of the co-founders of the site, who is also the future CTO of Facebook. Dig someone else's person, so that others have no one to dig up. It's just that Zhou Shi doesn't know the glorious experiences of these people in the future, and no matter how strong his memory is, he won't know these program apes with low exposure. After all, he doesn't even know the CTO of the three giants of Baidu, Alibaba, and Penguin in China, let alone the CTO of Silicon Valley companies. But Pichai and Luqi's luck is so good, and Zhou Shi's luck is so good.

Yelp was ganged by Zhou Shi to Sunnyvale, a city in Santa Clara County, California, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale is the safest city in the United States. The city's violent crime rate is well below average, but that's not the only reason the city of Sunnyvale is safe. Located in Santa Clara County, it has less than one-third of the national average traffic fatality rate and one of the lowest rates in the country. It is also home to the headquarters of AMD and Yahoo. He wanted to locate his headquarters in Encinal Park, a location and natural beauty that inspired the project. However, not only does it take time to buy land for construction, but also the development of the company.

Shirley Sandberg also withdrew from YouTube, fortunately during the financial crisis, which didn't have much impact on Amazon's stock price. It's only more than 200 dollars, and what do you want, the high growth of Amazon and YouTube is enough to offset a lot of negative impacts. In particular, Bezos and Zhou Shi clarified that there is no contradiction between them, and after Zhou Shi wants to start his business again, there are not many people worried about the development of Amazon. However, Zhou Shi's entrepreneurial direction was also exposed to the public, which caused cynicism from the public.

He was embarrassed to call it entrepreneurship, using the advantage of capital to acquire a mature company, and compared to other companies, the funds were almost inexhaustible. This is a joke, and Silicon Valley should resist this kind of entrepreneurship. "Someone left a message on the Internet and got a lot of likes and retweets.

"This Chinese man has come to Silicon Valley to show off his wealth, Yelp is good, but the development prospects are limited, and it is difficult for him to achieve the legend he used to be" This may be the deviation of Zhou Shi's team, and you can't let everyone keep scolding Zhou Shi.

"What legend can he have, set up a company and sell a company, and now he has so much money, and he is still ......starting a business," some people expressed disdain

"Upstairs, what's the legend of Simon Zhou?"

"I don't know, what browser do you use to surf the Internet?" continued downstairs

"I use Time Chrome!" replied the passerby

He founded Time Company, as well as the world's third social networking site Friends.com, plus the Time Farm, which started to fire last year, are all products of their company, and many of their employees are from Google, Yahoo and other companies. "There's a more familiar audience again.

"Then why does he still want to start a business?" and passers-by watched

"Who knows, it is said that he has a turbulent heart!"

"I also heard that the world's first successful prediction of a large-scale earthquake was a non-profit research institute that he set up with a donation. Zhou Shi's people appeared quietly again.

In any case, the public's attention to Zhou Shi has gradually shifted to the company he acquired, YELP is a professional review website, most of the content is provided by netizens, most of his profit sources are advertising revenue, and the main user scale is concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area, if you want to rely on such a website to counterattack again, everyone does not have much hope for this. Many reporters came over to interview Zhou Shi, wondering why there was such a choice, how could he not tell the truth, he had to deal with the past casually.

"Simon, you're miserable this time, you're being targeted by them, if you fail this time, you won't have a good life. "Shirley

"So what, I'm still me, and I can continue to try new ideas. "Just like some rich second generations, if you can't become a star, you can only go back and inherit a net worth of hundreds of millions, and if Zhou Shi's group buying and sharing can't be done, you can take over those financial assets.

"By the way, if we want to start a co-working business, we need to hire people. Wouldn't it be too urgent, and it would be a big burden for us to have too many employees who exceed the demand," Shirley

"Probably not, group buying and shared space business at the same time, it is impossible for both businesses to fail, according to the operation during this time, group buying still has great potential for development, these two businesses are relatively independent, but personnel can support each other in these two companies. There should be no waste. "Zhou Shi

"So when are we going to expand our business to other cities?"

"How can we take Silicon Valley, form enough influence, train employees, increase the personnel pool, and then choose two cities at the same time to expand. If it goes well, we will fission and replicate our successful model to the world. Zhou Shi knows that the businesses of group buying and sharing space are relatively simple, and everyone is fighting for capital and expansion speed. Only after occupying the market in the shortest possible time and suppressing other companies, we can start to improve the efficiency of internal operations, that is to say, scale first, efficiency second. It's hard to grasp the balance between this, but it doesn't matter. That's what Shirley Sandberg came to do. Of course, if the market begins to fall into a frenzy, and all kinds of funds have entered the market to start the mode of the Thousand Group War, Zhou Shi will not be deeply involved, Meituan's success is his best reference, only by surviving can he become the last person to laugh.

The two discussed some details of the company, and Jeremy Stallleman was involved. For example, Yelp's mobile use, combined with the mobile phone's camera and Internet features, allows everyone to leave comments anytime, anywhere.

"But this would have caused us to lose precipitation, and the length of the commentary and the description of the details would be much missing. Jeremy Stalllman was not very much in favor of the idea.

"I believe that the more people who participate in the commentary, the more valuable we are, and in this world, not one or two elites or experts can represent the majority of opinions. "Zhou Shi

"But we could lose those core users," Stolpleman

"In this way, we have made special treatment for some wonderful high-quality comments, such as pinning, refining, and bolding special displays! I believe this can give them a greater sense of honor. "Zhou Shi
