On the last working day before the Thanksgiving holiday, a convoy of police cars and a few black Chevrolet Saab versions drove in front of the main building of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.

The uniformed policemen who got out of the car first, and the security personnel in black suits, quickly controlled the scene, and then, they will leave office at the end of the year, originally not very supportive, because of extramarital affairs and divorce, and their reputation is average, but because of the blessing in disguise, New York Mayor Giuliani, who has won wide praise for his performance in handling the 911 incident, walked out of the car with a blank face, and walked to Buchanan and others standing in front of the door with a few officials.

"Hello Rudy," Buchanan took his hand, "this way, please,"

Giuliani looked up at the sky over there, and the two buildings that were standing tall were naturally invisible, and he felt that the skyline was a big stretch of emptiness, "How's it going?"

"It's not bad, these days, 30 substations have been established locally,"

After two months of trial operation and two months of combined publicity, on the eve of Thanksgiving, NEXTDOOR officially began to be rolled out in San Francisco and New York, two cities in the east and west.

I have to say that it registers users as a family unit, and it focuses on authenticity, privacy, and security, which is really suitable for this time.

After 911, the proud American people found that there may be many terrorists with different ambitions around them, and such panic psychology has added a very useful boost to the promotion of NEXTDOOR.

Various government agencies in the United States, especially those related to security, have also welcomed such websites, and thanks to Buchanan's efforts, 23 related institutions have now entered the website.

Meantime. Thanks to his efforts, the New York City government, where the 911 incident is located, is very supportive of the launch of such a website, which is why the mayor of New York visited it today.

And these newly formed teams may all be paid lower wages than before. But he broke out with more enthusiasm than before, and actively devoted himself to the promotion work.

This is also a very understandable thing, in Silicon Valley, several companies fail every day, and in such a difficult world, it is really rare to spend huge sums of money to invest in the Internet field.

After 911, the U.S. economy was even less optimistic.

Before 911, the U.S. economy was in the first phase of a downturn. The main reason is that the bursting of the Internet bubble has led to a decline in the technology industry, but the impact on consumers and consumer confidence is not too great.

In the aftermath of 911, more and more statistics suggest that consumption has begun to suffer, for an economy like the United States, which is largely consumption-driven. Simply deadly, therefore. At present, the economic decline of the United States has entered a stage of deepening in an all-round way.

Most residents of the United States are spending in advance, unlike our people, who are always saving for the future. Even if you are unemployed for a quarter to half a year, the problem is not big, they can't do it.

"More than 30 neighborhoods, not bad," Giuliani said with a laugh.

"Now apply every day to build the community that this site is. The average is in the double digits, above,"

Buchanan knows that 30 sub-stations is really nothing for the size of New York City, but if you look at the growth rate and the total number of applications, you will understand that this is a very popular website.

After sitting at the table, learning more about the features of the website, and actually operating it a few times, Giuliani personally believes that this website is indeed okay.

"The website is good!" he praised, "Since there are so many communities applying for it, why is the promotion not ideal?"

"It's mainly due to constraints and lack of staff," Buchanan said, "and the welcome to the site was unexpected, but the support staff is about to arrive."

"That's good," Giuliani nodded, "I think so, in order to let more residents know about this website, we can help you promote it on the government website,"

"Thank you Rudy, serving the community is our company's purpose,"

…………

At such a moment, the mayor of New York held a press conference, which, like the Pentagon's press conference, was sought after by many reporters.

In the hall of the building, the podium was full of microphones, Giuliani smiled and appeared, and the flashing lights lit up one after another, "With the concerted efforts of all sectors of the society, the cleaning up of the ruins is progressing rapidly, and I express my heartfelt thanks to the staff who are still on the scene at this time."

"Mr. Mayor, is there any new information to disclose about the aftermath?" asked a reporter who was called.

"In terms of follow-up, I have no new information to disclose, but I just assure you that the conspiracy of the extremists will never succeed! I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, a modern building will soon stand on the site of the World Trade Center, which is taller than the original building."

"So the mayor is here today to check the security measures at Rockefeller Center?" the second reporter asked.

"I'm here today because it's about safety, it's about the safety of all the people in the community," Giuliani said in a sonorous tone, "Our Silicon Valley company has launched a new website, and it's a website that everyone should welcome and promote in New York City."

He briefly introduced the situation of NEXTDOOR, "This website can improve the relationship between the government and the general public, starting from knowing your neighbors, helping people understand the basic situation of their community, various social service programs and community activities, helping us to build a more harmonious and safe community."

At the same time, it can help every registered family to keep abreast of the situation around them in the event of major disasters and emergencies.

So, the New York City government and I personally, are in favor of promoting this site vigorously,"

If the rest of his term had been longer, and he hadn't been unlucky enough to run into 911, Buchanan would have done his job again, and Giuliani would not have praised a company's website so bluntly in front of reporters.

However, who told him that his term of office was only a few months, and he happened to such an unfortunate thing?

…………

Stanford University, on the lawn.

Feng Yiping sat on the grass, looked at the news in the newspaper in his hand, and said to Huang Jingping, who was pillowed on his thigh, "Buchanan's work has worked well!"

Huang Jingping put her hand on the pergola and blocked her eyes, "That is, our second website is going well?"

"That's quite smooth," Feng Yiping said happily, according to this trend, the construction of substations across the United States will increase by a power order.

Li Jialun drove his Porsche, leisurely looking at these classmates on the grass, and suddenly, he saw Feng Yiping and their pair.

He came over to greet Feng Yiping like he was nothing, "Yiping, on Thanksgiving, the International Students Association organized a large party, do you two want to come together?"

"I'm sorry, we have an arrangement, you know, the company has organized activities," Feng Yiping refused without hesitation.

"Oh, then I wish you all a happy holiday!" Li Jialun didn't seem to care, "Jingping, you should take care too,"

"Thank you,"

The first impression is really very important, on the day of reporting, Li Jialun's words and deeds left a not very ideal impression on Huang Jingping, and now no matter what he says and does, Huang Jingping always doesn't like him very much.

Watching Li Jialun's car drive away, Huang Jingping said, "I don't like him,"

This is also the first time she has made it clear that she doesn't like a person, "Why?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling, this person seems to be the type of sweet-mouthed sword," Huang Jingping said.

"I think so too,"

Therefore, Feng Yiping also deliberately kept a distance from Li Jialun. (To be continued.) )
