Chapter 966: Battle of the Giants 2

There was a small pond, a huge willow tree, and a small stone table in the shade of the tree, but the chair was a high chair made of bamboo, and it sits slightly creaking.

But in this environment, it made several foreigners feel a strong Chinese style, not to mention Gao Yang, who was dressed in a white silk coat and Tang costume, and had a somewhat ancient image of a master, which made several foreigners even more admired.

HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS KIND OF ADMIRATION DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ELEMENT OF TRUST, AT LEAST THEY WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT GAO YANG IS A BUSINESS ELITE, SUCH A PERSON MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE BIG TROUBLE THAT GOOGLE IS FACING NOW.

WHEN HE ARRIVED IN CHINA, STONE LEARNED HOW SERIOUS THE SITUATION IN GOOGLE CHINA IS, NOT ONLY FACING HACKER ATTACKS, BUT ALSO FACING VARIOUS HARASSMENTS FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, ONE MOMENT OF INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE, ONE MOMENT OF TAXATION, ALL KINDS OF INSPECTIONS, AND MORE COPYRIGHT SOCIETIES TO SUE, THE KEY IS PUBLIC OPINION, THERE IS ALSO A TENDENCY TO SHAPE GOOGLE INTO A BLACK-HEARTED COMPANY.

For these large groups and large companies, the most concerned is the image of the enterprise, once the image of a company is damaged, it is a very serious consequence. GOOGLE DIDN'T WANT THE SITUATION IN CHINA TO AFFECT THE RICE HEAD OFFICE ANYMORE, SO IT THOUGHT OF WITHDRAWING FROM THE CHINESE MARKET TO SAVE ITS IMAGE.

THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH ACCORDING TO THEIR INVESTIGATION, THIS MR. GAO YANG IS A VERY FAMOUS BROKER IN CHINA, THEY DO NOT THINK THAT HE ALONE CAN HELP GOOGLE RESTORE ITS IMAGE AND MAKE GOOGLE BETTER SURVIVE IN CHINA.

"Two, tea, please." Gao Yang greeted with a smile.

The translator, who had already been prepared, immediately began to work.

"Thank you." The two rice guys politely took a sip of the verdant tea with their teacups, but their brows were furrowed, obviously not very used to it. However, when they put down their teacups, they suddenly raised their foreheads, obviously attracted by the sweet aftertaste of this green tea.

But before they could taste it again, Gao Yang had already said with a smile again: "If I guess correctly, Mr. Stone came to China this time to have two missions at the same time, one is to try to contact me to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." AND THE OTHER THING IS, ONCE I CAN'T HELP YOU OUT, MR. STONE WILL START PRESIDING OVER GOOGLE'S PLAN TO EXIT THE CHINESE MARKET, RIGHT? ”

After listening to the translator's words, Stone was stunned for a moment, obviously realizing that the person in front of him was really not simple, and he guessed it at once. OF COURSE, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A DECISION THAT HE HAD ALREADY MADE AT THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS, BUT IF IT DID, IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE SERIOUS THAN HE HAD GUESSED - THAT WOULD MEAN THAT MR. STONE HAD EYELINER AT GOOGLE'S HEADQUARTERS!

This retreat decision is still limited to the shareholders of the company and a few people at the highest level of management, and Gao Yang, who is far away in China, is still a guy who can't speak English, wouldn't it be terrible if he can grasp this situation? That means that he has eyeliner at the company's headquarters and has an internal response.

"There is an intention to cooperate, I hope we can talk openly and honestly, maybe I have a way to save your company, maybe it's okay." Gao Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'd love to hear what Mr. Gao can do to solve our troubles." Stone looked at Gao Yang and said, although he still didn't believe that Gao Yang could help them solve the problem, but he didn't mind listening to Gao Yang's plan, whether it had even a little bit of reference value......

**********************************************************************************************************

Wu Tian didn't meet Stone and the others in person, because he had already arranged for Gao Yang this time, and he didn't need to come forward in person at all, so he could easily persuade those two guys to give up the decision to evacuate China.

AS FOR HOW TO HELP GOOGLE GET THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME, IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND DIFFICULT THING.

Therefore, Wu Tian was sitting in Yi Qingshu's office at this time.

"UNCLE YI, THIS INCIDENT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE VIEWED FROM TWO ASPECTS, ALTHOUGH GOOGLE IS A LITTLE DISOBEDIENT, BUT IF HE IS REALLY KICKED OUT, THEN ONLY DU NIANG'S FAMILY WILL BE LEFT IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. Although Du Niang will definitely implement the decisions of the Ministry on the big side, it involves the issue of factions, and I am afraid that the tendency of others will be obvious. Wu Tian said.

IF GOOGLE WITHDRAWS FROM CHINA, THE MOST AGREEABLE THING IS DEFINITELY THE PROPAGANDA SYSTEM. The world's giant companies have been very strong in many cases, believing that with their strength, they can completely influence the government's decisions. They ideally believe that commercial companies can make industry rules, at least they have the right to enforce their own industry standards in China, so they do not agree to some administrative directives that are not quite in line with common sense.

This has made the propaganda system quite dissatisfied, and it has even embarrassed the competent authorities in recent years.

For such a company, or a foreign company with a large background, the propaganda system cannot severely punish them -- the slightest move may mean international news, and how can China be willing to give the impression of the people of the world who are in a state of repressive control? This is a country that warmly welcomes foreign investment, and this kind of negative news cannot be made casually.

SO, IF GOOGLE DECIDES TO WITHDRAW FROM CHINA, AT LEAST THE PROPAGANDA SYSTEM WILL BE HAPPY TO DO SO.

"The situation you mentioned also exists...... Yi Qingshu said.

ONCE GOOGLE LEAVES CHINA, THE ABOVE HEADACHE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED, ALTHOUGH ONCE GOOGLE WITHDRAWS, THE CHINESE SIDE WILL INEVITABLY RECEIVE SOME INTENTIONS, BUT AFTER ALL, IT IS NOT FORCED TO LEAVE, IT IS THEY WHO LEFT VOLUNTARILY, AND THE CHINESE SIDE CAN STILL RETAIN SOME FACE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS, AS WU TIAN SAID, ONCE GOOGLE LEAVES, DU NIANG WILL BECOME AN OLIGARCH IN SEARCH ENGINES, AT LEAST FOR NOW, EXCEPT FOR GOOGLE, THERE IS NO SEARCH SERVICE THAT CAN COMPETE WITH DU NIANG.

Once that time comes, it will be even more difficult to control Du Niang, not to mention that the other party still has someone to protect?

**********************************************************************************************************

"WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS NOT HOW TO SOLVE GOOGLE'S CURRENT PROBLEMS, BUT THE PROBLEM OF GOOGLE'S WITHDRAWAL FROM CHINA." GAO YANG SAID WITH A SMILE, "DO YOU THINK THAT IF GOOGLE WITHDRAWS FROM THE MAINLAND, IT WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE CURRENT TROUBLE?" Is that right? ”

"Mr. Gao, this is the best decision made by our senior management after carefully analyzing the current situation." Stone said with a frown.

"HEHE, LET ME THINK ABOUT IT," GAO YANG SAID WITH A SMILE, "IF I GUESS CORRECTLY, YOU MUST HAVE PLANNED THIS WAY, THAT IS, GOOGLE WILL WITHDRAW FROM CHINA, AND THEN INCREASE ITS INVESTMENT IN HONG KONG ISLAND, AND PUT THE SERVER ON HONG KONG ISLAND TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO MAINLAND USERS, RIGHT?" ”

Stone was stunned, this is top secret, it is the most perfect solution that their company's top management can think of!

In fact, for Internet companies, the service can be provided anywhere in the world. Even if the server is set up in the United States, as long as the web page is in Chinese, it can also provide services for Chinese people, the only difference is that because of the network bandwidth and corresponding problems, it will affect the browsing experience. Of course, if this situation is placed in China, there is another problem, and that is the situation of access restrictions.

It's crazy in this country that they would restrict domestic netizens from accessing foreign websites. They have a powerful firewall that allows them to control domestic netizens to access websites that the official doesn't want netizens to see!

Under this crazy measure, unless you are willing to open a website in China in accordance with China's regulations and accept their supervision, you will have to give up this huge market.

HOWEVER, GOOGLE CAME UP WITH A CLEVER SOLUTION, WHICH IS TO MOVE THE CHINA BRANCH TO HONG KONG ISLAND!

THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, WHICH ALSO BELONGS TO CHINA, HAS A DIFFERENT LEGAL SYSTEM, AND UNDER THIS RELATIVELY COMPLETE SYSTEM, GOOGLE BELIEVES THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE VARIOUS UNREASONABLE DEMANDS OF THE "RELEVANT DEPARTMENTS". At the same time, because this is the same country, the mainland will not restrict access to Hong Kong Island's website, which is simply the best business model.

But now that Mr. Gao mentioned it, Stone had a faint feeling that something was wrong, could it be that this solution was not perfect, and there was still a problem?

"FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT MOVING GOOGLE TO HONG KONG ISLAND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT MAINLAND NETIZENS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT." "IN ADDITION, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT ONCE GOOGLE SETS UP ITS COMPANY ON HONG KONG ISLAND, THEN IN THE FUTURE, ANY WEBSITES RELATED TO GOOGLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS IN CHINA, AND ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS WILL BE BLOCKED FROM THE CHINESE MARKET!" ”

"Huh? Why? Stone asked, stunned.

"Face!" Gao Yang only replied lightly with two words, but these two words were a little difficult for the translator......

**********************************************************************************************************

Gao Yang is definitely not alarmist.

NO MATTER WHAT REASON GOOGLE LEFT CHINA, CHINA WILL DEFINITELY BLOCK THIS COMPANY THAT HAS MADE CHINA LOSE FACE.

THIS WAS THE CASE IN THE PREVIOUS LIFE, LONG BEFORE GOOGLE ENTERED CHINA, THEIR SERVERS IN THE UNITED STATES COULD BE ACCESSED BY CHINESE NETIZENS, AND THEIR PRODUCTS COULD ALSO BE ACCESSED BY CHINESE NETIZENS. SHORTLY AFTER THEY LEFT CHINA, ESPECIALLY SOON AFTER THE OPENING OF THE HONG KONG ISLAND WEBSITE, GOOGLE'S WEBSITE WAS BLACKLISTED, FROM INACCESSIBLE FROM TIME TO TIME, TO ACCESSIBLE FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THEN SIMPLY INACCESSIBLE! SUBSEQUENTLY, EVEN ALL GOOGLE-RELATED WEBSITES AND VARIOUS PRODUCTS COULD NOT ENTER CHINA THROUGH FORMAL CHANNELS!

THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS PROBABLY THE ANDROID SYSTEM, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED BY GOOGLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY MANUFACTURERS INVOLVED, AND IT CAN'T BE REGARDED AS A SIMPLE GOOGLE PRODUCT......

THEREFORE, GOOGLE'S DEPARTURE FROM CHINA AND ABANDONING THE CHINESE MARKET MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, AND THEIR CLUMSY TRICK OF STEALING BEAMS AND CHANGING PILLARS IS THEIR BIGGEST FAILURE. Neither competitors nor officials can tolerate their use of such tactics!

Gao Yang roughly explained to the two Mi Guoyan, in fact, it is very simple, in China, they can't compete with competitors, do they still expect to withdraw from the battlefield, and then compete with others remotely? Is it possible to defeat the opponent if there is no even a little power to fight back?

Stone can be the vice president of Google, naturally not stupid people, after Gao Yang explained the child a little, he thought that Gao Yang said very reasonable, they are afraid that this plan really does not have much possibility of success, the final result is likely to be that they invested a lot of money on Hong Kong Island, after re-erecting the website, but found that mainland users are still inaccessible, then they will lose a lot!

"Mr. Gao, I will report this situation to the headquarters, and I think they will seriously consider the feasibility of this plan." Stone said sincerely, "Now I would like to hear how Mr. Gao is going to help us solve this problem." ”

"It's not a problem, it's a disaster." "IF THE CURRENT SITUATION CONTINUES, GOOGLE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO WITHDRAW FROM THE CHINESE MARKET, AND THE END RESULT WILL NOT ONLY BE TO LOSE THIS HUGE MARKET, BUT ALSO TO CULTIVATE A STRONG COMPETITOR FOR YOURSELF." ”

STONE NODDED EXPRESSIONLESSLY, ALTHOUGH DU NIANG IS EXTREMELY WEAK FROM GOOGLE, THERE IS NO WAY TO COMPARE WITH GOOGLE, BUT GOOGLE HAS BEEN IN CHINA FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT IT IS STILL UNABLE TO SUPPRESS THIS SMALL COMPANY, AND EVEN PEOPLE ARE STILL GROWING RAPIDLY, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO PROVE HOW STRONG THIS SMALL COMPANY IS, AT LEAST HOW STRONG HIS SURVIVAL IN THE LAND OF CHINA IS.

IF IT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP, MAYBE IN MANY YEARS, GOOGLE WILL INDEED HAVE A COMPETITOR WHO CAN POSE A CERTAIN THREAT TO THEM, AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH GOOGLE AS A WHOLE, BUT IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AREA, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY...... (To be continued.) )
