There was previously a Murdoch, born in Melbourne, Australia. ≥≥，

His father ran a small local newspaper, the Adelaide News, which Murdoch took over in 1953. Perhaps because of his father's knowledge of the newspaper, Murdoch knew the psychology of his readers and was willing to cater to them, and he soon fell in love with the business, while his ambitions became apparent. In 196o, Murdoch bought the Sydney Daily Mirror and the Sydney Daily and tried to enter the television media market. In 1964, Murdoch founded Australia's first national newspaper, The Australian.

Soon, Murdoch was not willing to be confined to the Australian exhibition, and at the same time as he left Australia, a worldwide media empire was quietly rising, laying a solid foundation for the later establishment of the "Sky Empire" step by step.

In 198o, Murdoch founded News Corp., and the group began an expansive acquisition, from buying stakes in newspapers, magazines, book publishing, television and movies, and Murdoch's media empire began to take shape, covering almost all of the media sector. News Corp. is one of the world's largest and most international integrated media companies, and its chairman is Murdoch himself, who also serves as an executive officer. At present, News Corp. owns more than 175 newspapers, including the Times, The Sun, The Australian, The New York Post and other major newspapers in the world.

His success has been filled with various mergers and acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions.

M&A has always been one of the important means of strategic exhibition, and Murdoch has taken it to the extreme. Especially in the past decade or so, News Corp. has been aggressively engaged in acquisitions and mergers.

But he was at the proudest time in his life. 1985 year. He was forced to become an American citizen. It's also the year. The United States has introduced an antitrust protection law for journalism. The reason for this was that he bought a 5o% stake in 2o Century Fox and achieved a foreign monopoly on journalism in the United States.

This is very disturbing for the Americans.

What happened during this period is now impossible to test, but there is no doubt that Murdoch was finally forced to become an American citizen. This can be seen from the fact that he still has the headquarters of News Corp. in his home country, Australia.

Chen Tiandu has been invincible in the United States all these years, but he never thought that he would have such a day.

It stands to reason that such a thing could not burn him. It's a pity that he has only been doing it for a few years. The assets are far greater than Murdoch's.

The cause is Google.

Google is so hot that a year later, the stock has more than doubled compared to last year's listing. Chen Tiandu's personal assets have also risen irrepressibly to $4oo dollars. Give him a few more years, and I'm afraid he will directly become the richest in the world.

This time, the cheese of some people was finally moved.

"What, forcing you to see Google's user registration information?" The phone call Chen Tiandu received was about this matter. In line with the principle of confidentiality of the user, this user information. How can you show it to others at will?

But the object is forced after all, and goog1e can't ignore it. This time. Google's shareholder who can't see the end of the dragon, the role of Warren Buffett is reflected. After some coordination, it was revealed by Google through the "Transparency Report" that thousands of its users were targeted.

Since this year, we have sent no more than 999 national security letters to GOOG1E every year, requiring the disclosure of user account information within 2ooo to 3ooo. A so-called national security letter is a request for information that is coerced to facilitate a national security investigation by its agents or other agencies in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The National Security Letter is not intended for use in ordinary criminal, civil, or administrative case investigations.

Under the U.S. Patriot Act, Google or other agencies are required to provide information after receiving a national security letter if the government believes that a request for a "national security letter" is related to an investigation into the fight against international terrorism or covert intelligence activities.

National security letters are a powerful tool because they do not require court approval and are suitable for a speech cease and desist order to prevent the recipient from revealing information that the national security letter was received. In the case of an investigation of terrorist activity, a supervisor is required to sign and the agent himself can send a "national security letter" to a credit bureau, Internet service provider, or telephone company.

It is related to whether the user's rights are infringed, which can be large or small. If it is in China, it is not a problem at all, and no one dares to investigate it if the national security investigates casually. However, in a place like the United States, where human rights are greater than heaven, it immediately aroused the topic of public opinion.

The outside world has discussed this a lot, and the major talk shows will not let go of this topic of general concern to celebrities. For a time, Google fell into the whirlpool of public opinion that infringed on users.

"How do you monitor this behavior and how do you make sure that user data doesn't become a tool for profit?"

"It feels very bad, it's like taking off your clothes and letting others watch, how can you surf the Internet in the future."

At this time, Chen Tiandu did not realize that the biggest spearhead was pointed at himself.

GOOG1E reported to users through its official blog that according to the provisions of the U.S. Electronic Communications Act, it can be asked to provide users with "name, address, service usage time, and billing records for local or long-distance calls", but it cannot be required to provide information such as Gai1 content, search queries, and user IP addresses. Fearing that the precise figures would reveal information related to the case being investigated, they were able to disclose only a rough scope.

But this is something that Google alone can't bear, and it immediately shook out that Microsoft, Yahoo, AO1, Apple, 1inkedin and other major companies Internet companies have been treated the same.

And so began a battle between the government and major tech companies to defend their rights.

Although several major Internet companies are constantly fighting, they have the same chain of interests and are on the same line.

They joined forces to issue an open letter to the Bush administration, asking the U.S. government to take the lead in reforming to ensure that government surveillance activities are clearly limited by law and that transparency is maintained. and accept ** supervision.

"The government's current rules violate the right to free speech. The company wants to have the right to reveal more detailed data that the U.S. government is asking for user information. This is important to everyone who believes in the First Amendment. We want to be able to share the full and transparent report. ”

It is related to several large companies with assets of more than 10 billion or 100 billion. The U.S. government was quick to respond.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect a wave of unsettled waves to arise again. Rumors came out of nowhere, and the nationality of Chen Tiandu, a major shareholder of Google, who once occupied 5o% of the shares, once again attracted public attention.

"He is the majority shareholder of Google, and he is a Chinese national, and Google is the largest Internet search company in the United States. The number of user registrations has climbed to the top in the United States. Does having such an international background in charge of Google mean that the information of Google users in the United States is unconditionally open to the Chinese government? How can this give American netizens peace of mind? ”

The China threat theory has always been a hot topic in the United States. Every year in the presidential election, the gun is pulled out for a while.

This time, through the forced surveillance incident, Chen Tiandu once again stood on the cusp of the storm. And this time it's not on the entertainment page, but on the front page of the social page. The Washington Post's intention of placing a huge red national flag behind Chen Tiandu's photo is self-evident.

Affected by this public opinion, Google's stock is once again in turmoil.

Google had to respond, and the new CEO of Google, Eric ? Schmidt and EO Brin jointly stated to the outside world, "Mr. Chen Tiandu has stepped down as chairman of Google's board of directors and only retains a seat on the board." All user data at Google is subject to the highest standards of confidentiality and cannot be handled by any one shareholder. Although this is an absurd statement, Mr. Chen Tiandu still took the initiative to make a suggestion to Google: uphold the attitude of the user responsible. We will also strengthen the security protection of user data, so that the majority of Google users can ...... with peace of mind"

Said a lot of official words. But public opinion did not stop there.

Instead, there is an intensifying posture.

Hatred of the rich is one of the broadest manifestations of the entire social form, especially in a country like the United States, where there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

"Why is it unfair that Chen Tiandu, an outsider, can use a wealth of 40 billion US dollars, but they can only enjoy a subsistence allowance."

"This guy from the red country is simply a conspiracy of the Chinese government. Is it true that he was able to rise so quickly without the help of the Chinese government? ”

"Hehe, keep your eyes open. The eyes of the red nation have penetrated deep into the American people, and your every move is under the watchful eye of others. ”

"Chen Tiandu? Are you still obsessed with him, just a Chinese. Recognize him for what he is. ”

Even the talk show teased and came up with ideas, "If it were you, how would you face this whirlpool of public opinion." Give up Google's growing stake and reduce your holdings? ”

……

"He has to change his nationality, and China does not recognize dual nationality. He had to renounce his Chinese nationality and change to American nationality. Because he not only owns an information company called Google, but also a really inflated AE wave OK social networking site, which is also one of the important interconnection bases for netizen information. An unrecognizable public figure suddenly said such a sentence, which suddenly became a breakthrough. It turned out that this public figure was actually a California congressman. Does the fact that such words come out of his mouth means that the US government is also willing to do the same?

After all, no one is worried that a foreigner will control the largest Internet company in the United States and even the world.

This time it is really on the cusp, and the overwhelming public opinion propaganda is hard to ensure that there is no force behind it.

This kind of public opinion attack also made Chen Tiandu's friends sweat for him, if it were replaced by them. I'm afraid that the slightest huge wave can silence the sea, and they won't be able to turn over.

This is too much to do with the wealth of Chinese people and the tone of Sino-US relations, and even the Xinhua News Agency can't sit still, and it follows a large number of reports.

When the news came back to China, it caused an uproar. Naturally, China supports Chen Tiandu at home, and China goes to spy on the United States? Or use an entertainment star to start a company? Such a huge web giant used to spy on the data of American netizens? It's just a fantasy, when the country is so extravagant, it's Google.

This was followed by another hot topic, Chen Tiandu may have to change his nationality, renounce his Chinese nationality and adopt American nationality?

"Oh my God~!"

"If you change your nationality, you will feel that you are not in love for a moment."

"I don't think it's a big deal, think about how many celebrities have changed their foreign nationality. Now it is the United States begging me to change my nationality every day, and I am proud enough. ”

Who are the big stars who have changed their nationality, Li Lianjie, Gong Li, Siqin Gaowa, Zhang Tielin, Jiang Dawei, Xu Fan, and even Chen Kaige and Chen Hong are also Americans...... A group of big names have been lying down.

When the people opened their eyes, they suddenly realized that so many people were not Chinese.

Some people also spoke for Chen Tiandu, "It's not unacceptable for Tiandu to greatly change his nationality, after all, no one will easily give up tens of billions of assets." Changing one's nationality is not the same as giving up one's national feelings! ”…… But it always feels awkward.

Chen Tiandu also urgently put down his vacation and hurried back to the United States. With such a big event, Kate didn't have time to play alone, so she rushed over with her.

The husband and wife each held a child, and as soon as they got off the plane, they were surrounded by reporters who were waiting early. (To be continued......)
