Chapter 325: Continuing the Disaster "Wealth"
"Our government is not even as good as a private company in terms of action, and the F2F has anticipated the problem, taken action, and achieved impressive humanitarian results. However, the government and the police force have been slow, incorrect, and unfounded, which is indeed a shame. ”
The Washington Post's headline reported that Hurricane Katrina, which has killed more than 1,000 people and left hundreds missing, as the most destructive hurricane in 80 years, has attracted no less attention than 911, and the discussion of it is multifaceted, with humanitarians focusing on the frequent looting and other injustices of the hurricane, and the opposition fully criticizing the confusion and inaction of government departments, and expressing shock at the disrepair of the levees. The general public was concerned about the rebuilding of New Orleans, and the people of Newtown decided to leave it - more than half of New Orleans chose to leave the city in just a few years, from more than 800,000 to more than 300,000, and it was clear that the disaster had left them with lingering feelings.
This also includes Nancy and his family, fortunately, their emergency reserves helped them wait for the rescue organization - it was all thanks to Nancy's eventual disappearance, she was unable to respond to her friends and local spontaneous rescuers at F2F because of the power outage, and when F2F launched the emergency rescue platform, her classmate Rishi, who lives in one of the few safe areas in Orleans, put Nancy's address on the platform, and then the family was soon rescued and became the first to be rescued.
"Nancy was very touched by everyone's concern, she had been helped, their home was basically completely flooded, but luckily their emergency reserves helped them survive until the rescue team arrived, and now they are all at Super Bowl stadium. She asked me to help the family especially thanks Daniel, if it wasn't for Daniel, they wouldn't have been helped so quickly. ”
This classmate who submitted the address of Nancy's home. A thank-you note was published in her place.
The Mail reporter did not miss this brief statement, and among the many reports, the Post's reporting through Nancy's story was particularly intimate, a living example of the F2F's great action in this disaster.
The Post combed through Daniel's series of actions with F2F, and finally did not forget to put a small publicity advertisement for F2F's emergency rescue platform.
"There are currently nearly 800 addresses registered on the F2F's emergency relief platform, some of which are marked as 'rescued' and some have turned grey. This means that those people are determined to have suffered misfortune. But most of them are 'missing'. If your friends or loved ones are out of reach, you can follow the F2F#KatrinaSave# homepage, where tens of thousands of people are providing information to the missing, and as soon as they get the news, they will submit it to the F2F company, and after confirmation, they will make the news public to everyone as soon as possible, God bless America, bless New Orleans. ”
The hurricane has passed. The head of the U.S. Federal Emergency Response Agency, Michael Brown. Brown, for his part, faces criticism from almost all of America, for which he is destined to be held accountable soon. Journalists circled around him like stinking flies, trying to get some information from his mouth, after a brief "humanitarian" moment. The media is beginning to play its part, much in line with stock market speculators, and the media is also the beneficiary of the disaster.
They cover a lot of sensational news.
New Orleans police officers committed suicide because they were stressed.
Hundreds of government aid workers resigned.
There is a frenzy of exodus from the cities.
Looting, shootings, and violent crime are rife throughout the city.
Government officials are corrupt.
The media puts their sense of smell to the most sensitive stage, and will not miss any wind and grass. Daniel. Sandler. F2F CEO Mark Brown. Vaughn, Chief Operating Officer Shirley. Sandberg and, of course, Michael. Brown. The hapless and incompetent Director.
"Michael, will you resign?"
"How do you respond to questions about the fact that the true death toll is being concealed?"
"Michael ......"
In Michael. On Brown's way to his office, they were surrounded by reporters who had been squatting here early in the morning, his face was cold and stern, and he didn't say a word, and the security guards protected him as he walked forward, and in the midst of the cacophony of questions, the reporter of the Los Angeles Times suddenly asked.
"There's a source that the official even got the list of people to be rescued from the F2F company and has been relying on their information for quite some time, right?"
The audience was silent.
Brown paused in his footsteps, but eventually said nothing, walked through the gate with his head covered, and security officers stopped the reporter outside.
At this time, reporters from other newspapers quickly turned their heads to look at the reporter from the Los Angeles Times.
"Hey, Hall, do you have any news, is your question true?"
"It must be true, oh my God, the whole of New Orleans fell into anarchy on September 1st, and the Emergency Response Agency definitely didn't have access to information, only through the F2F, so they could carry out the rescue in the first place." A reporter who followed the news throughout the whole process quickly connected with all kinds of clues.
The Los Angeles Times made this exclusive information public, apparently not very willing to challenge the already criticized US government alone at this time.
But as events expand, the impact multiplies exponentially – and that's what The Times is all about, and it is impossible to say that they are afraid, but to manipulate the news in a way that is most beneficial to them.
……
"They want F2F to come out and clarify."
"Let's deny the news?"
Daniel had a phone call with Mark at his home in Los Angeles, and I have to say that the biggest beneficiary of Hurricane Katrina this time was F2F, which not only gained full public favor, but also exploded in the number of registered users, because New Orleans had no way to access the media and interviewers, so at its peak, F2F almost became the largest source of information - except for aerial photography, but aerial photography has no way to get three-dimensional news. Facts like Nancy's family, as well as Nancy's friend Rishi, have been providing on the ground, which is basically only available in F2F and MB.
When the three major stock markets in the United States fell across the board, MB's stock price rose sharply, which is easy to understand, it is impossible for funds to stay in the account, MB is worth investing, then it will push up its demand. If it weren't for the fact that F2F didn't go public, I'm afraid there would be an even more terrifying rise, and as the most used social media today, F2F's potential has been recognized. MB's share price has been tepid for some time due to the fact that the number of users has been surpassed by F2F and the development potential has been questioned. This exposure to Hurricane Katrina has allowed it to regain the trust of investors, and it has even surpassed F2F in terms of timeliness and flat transmission of information, if it were not for F2F's launch of an emergency rescue platform, and as the birthplace of the incident, MB should have become the best platform for people to obtain information.
Still, MB has opened up a new attraction of its own – investors now believe it will gain more attention and public opinion power.
Google Maps has also benefited, making a name for itself as a feature that has been available for less than half a year.
"No, they know that we will never agree, and besides, there is no way to hide this kind of thing." Mark denied, "Michael will definitely step down, and the rescue operation will be taken over by a lieutenant general of the Coast Guard, and they want us to try to blame Michael for the mistake in the statement. Brown, for some convenience. ”
"Aha."
Daniel had to observe a second of silence for the administrator, who, apparently, had become an outcast.
"The number of F2F users in North America has exceeded 100 million, right?"
"No, it should be possible in September."
"Hold a press conference with 100 million users, and then respond to it and do what they say."
Bush will still be president for three years, and there is no need for the F2F to deal with him now, because if the rhetoric is the rhetoric, and if the action is not upright enough, it is easy to be classified as a party and disagree.
……
Before returning to Berkeley, negotiations between F2F, MB, and Google for Android officially began.
The three parties spent 50 million to completely acquire Andy. Rubin's company, but the specific share still needs to be negotiated, the main contradiction is that whether the joint shares of F2F and MB can exceed 50%, Google and Plutos are shareholders of MB, but Plutos has a controlling stake, once the two parties add up to more than 50%, in other words, Android is controlled by Plutos, which Google cannot agree.
In fact, Daniel didn't think Google would agree.
In fact, Android has a chance to compete with Apple, but Google obviously doesn't pay enough attention to this division, or doesn't see the huge value of Android in the smartphone field. They even waited until Apple launched the milestone iPhone 3G before launching an Android device from HTC in a hurry, but there was no resistance at all.
In order to resist Apple's attack on the smart phone field, the hastily formed alliance has no standards, no rules, and no restrictions, like a deserted garden, seemingly lush, but without beauty at all.
Daniel has to change that.
Eventually, both parties may take a step back and divide the shares equally, but ask for the appointment of a person in charge with essentially independent disposal rights - Andy. Rubin himself was certainly the most suitable, and in fact, it was a perfect solution for him, as he was able to maintain maximum control over the company. However, the final outcome will have to wait for the outcome of the negotiations, and in fact, if Google insists, it is not entirely unacceptable for Plutos to take less than 50% of the shares, but some memoranda is needed to limit the actions of the controlling parties.
