Chapter 146: Battle Five Scum
"Minister Xu should be a master of law, right?" Chen Bo asked with a smile at this time, "Market monopoly and market monopoly are different words and different meanings. Ant Search occupies a high market share, and from the surface data, it has indeed constituted a market monopoly. However, Ant Search did not use its own market position to exclude or restrict competitors from making profits. ”
"Everyone can bid on the keywords of Ant Search, and competitors are not allowed to bid on each other's brands, even our own products are ranked reasonably and fairly according to the search volume and page views and other related algorithms. If you use it, you can see that AIL ranks higher on the first page of the search mailbox. And foxlive is also coming second. ”
You say that a monopoly is a monopoly? Really TMD when I don't know the Fa? Lao Tzu has already taken countermeasures and has carried out the downgrading of keywords, but it is only for Singapore's IP, and its own products still rank first in other places.
What's more, live itself is a bundled client, and the advantage of web page ranking is not obvious, and it can be downloaded through other channels without searching. There are thousands of policies, and I also have tens of thousands of countermeasures.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Of course, I know about the contribution that Ant Search has made to the development of the Internet market in Southeast Asia, so I would like to ask for advice. Xu Kailai's face was quite thick-skinned, and only a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, so he immediately changed his tone.
"Hehe, I was shocked, I thought Minister Xu was a lobbyist for Google and Yahoo." Chen Bo half ridiculed and half pressured, "I can't afford to make this joke, if you give up your share to others, then you have to consider the freedom of the Singapore market." ”
Scare me? I'm so scared! Chen Bo's response was threatening, no matter how strong the Singapore government is, don't forget that I am also from foreign capital. But I didn't ask you, I came after you opened up your policy. If I leave in the first place, what will be the impact?
Even if you want to support Google, just one city, more than 3 million fixed population, even if all of them are netizens, the impact on ant search is minimal. And ants in Singapore are going to pay taxes for you, and it is also hearty to dare to speak like this without definite evidence.
And Xu Kailai had already regretted that his intestines were green at this time, and he had nothing to shake any cleverness, and his sharp counterattack also made him sober. Sitting in front of him is not the speculative capitalists on the mainland, this is a bad star with its own halo of bad luck, Singapore is also the Asian headquarters of News Corp., with their good cooperative relationship, it is definitely not difficult to imagine what kind of basket can be poked out.
The boiling Philadelphia judicial fraud, the racial discrimination at Pennsylvania, and the assassination of Harvard University that happened not long ago forced Xiao Bu Shidu to be embarrassed and take the initiative to bow his head in front of the media.
Originally, I wanted to give the other party a dismount, but now I was shocked and embarrassed, but no matter what, I have to continue.
"Mr. Tan has been thinking a lot, and the Singapore market has always adhered to free and fair competition, and the government will not interfere too much." Xu Kailai hurriedly bypassed, and said, "I also believe that Ant Search will abide by the laws of Singapore, lead the progress of the IT industry, and provide better services for our people." ”
"Of course, compliance with the law is a matter of our principle." Chen Bo saw that the momentum he had just let go down, and he didn't chase after him, after all, people are under the eaves, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving.
"I have approved your Internet license application, so I wish you a successful start!"
When it comes to this, there is basically no need to continue, and I have held back all the things I wanted to say too much. Xu Kailai had to deal with a few more words absent-mindedly before personally sending him out of the office, and at this time he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and secretly hate his recklessness.
Chen Bo walked out of the building, but he felt that the opponent's combat effectiveness was really a little poor, like a ball, and he was deflated with a light poke.
Before he could get out of the building, he was stopped by a figure.
"Mr. Chen, if it is convenient in the evening, Vice President Li would like to invite you and Mrs. Li to have dinner together."
"Ma'am? I'm not married, where is the lady, do you want me to take someone else's wife? Chen Bo was stunned and said, this information collection is not good.
"Uh...... Sorry, it's your girlfriend. The person who came blushed and said embarrassedly.
"Okay." Chen Bo nodded, isn't Vice Premier Lee Hsien Loong, the current Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong is his father's right-hand man, at best it is just a buffer for the alternation of power, and the national election in the second half of the year is just a way to go, which is a well-known thing.
Although the name of the vice premier is quite scary, it is at the level of the mayor in China, and it is not as big as Pengcheng.
Xu Kailai had already reported what he had encountered, otherwise he wouldn't have invited him to dinner so quickly, this is a good banquet.
"How? Looking for something for you. After returning to the company, Ivanka asked with concern.
"It's not good, the level of the five scum." Chen Bo said and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "I'll clean it up later, I'll take you to have a meal in the evening, don't have too high heels, save me some face." ”
Ivanka, this woman, is good at everything, but she loves shoes too much, and when she goes out, she brings two whole boxes, all of which are high heels. Even if it's a model, it's not like this, and the key is that the heel is so high, it's just life-threatening, but wherever you go, you always have to add some more, and it's light to evaluate with shoe control, and it's about to become a shoe demon.
Before nightfall, Chen Bo and Ivanka got into the car that came to pick up people, although Singapore is a free port, but the car price is very expensive. A Toyota Corolla can be sold for about 700,000 yuan, which is one of the reasons why there is no traffic jam in the local area, and as long as pedestrians do not press the pass button at the intersection, it will be a green light for unimpeded traffic all day long.
Naturally, the company cannot add many cars like the mainland, and there are only a few ordinary official cars, which are not luxurious.
Lee Hsien Loong's private residence is a typical red-tiled and white-walled, multi-grille building that is easy to ventilate, after all, it is in the tropics, and when there was no air conditioning before, it was the best means of heat dissipation. Although it was a private banquet, the Li couple still waited at the door early, and they definitely didn't have to pick on etiquette.
Of course, Chen Bo didn't forget to bring a souvenir, since it is an IT company, it is good to give away two new microphone Walkmans. I can't give you a five-digit top QQ red diamond membership number, right?
After a simple greeting, the couple invited the two to sit in the restaurant, and the food was naturally Western, and the whole process was a non-nutritious conversation. Lee Hsien Loong is from Cambridge, Ho Ching is from Stanford, both places have ant search bases, and it is not difficult to find some common topics, with temptation in politeness, and hypocrisy in temptation.
After a long meal, He Jing invited Ivanka to visit the furnishings in the villa, leaving the two men to naturally start today's theme.
"Minister Xu is indeed a little rude today, I have already blamed him for his behavior, and I hope I don't want to be surprised." Lee Hsien Loong took the lead and excused the afternoon.
"How can it be, it's all a small misunderstanding of communication." Chen Bo generously said that he would not pursue it, after all, eating people has a short mouth.
"Haha, of course, Mr. Chen is the prime minister who can hold the boat in his belly." Lee Hsien Loong smiled, but he didn't forget his purpose today, "But the development of ant search in Southeast Asia is indeed very rapid, the influence of the Internet is increasing day by day, and the government is also taking precautions, so it is understandable to be worried, right?" ”
"Are we going to have a private meeting or an official meeting?" Chen Bo was noncommittal and asked rhetorically.
"It's just a private chat, and you don't have to be formal." Lee Hsien Loong said in his heart, what does it mean for you kid to eat me, drink me, and pretend to be stupid for me?
"Since we have a personal relationship, let's still speak Chinese, after all, the same ancestry, what do you see? Premier! Chen Bo held back for a long time, and deliberately emphasized the position of prime minister, which is nothing more than to express his inner dissatisfaction, and I can understand the official English you speak, this is the established policy. But you still speak English in personal friends, but you just give up your Chinese identity, which is not very kind.
"Deputy Prime Minister." Lee Hsien Loong did not forget his identity and immediately corrected it, but also changed to Mandarin, "Singapore has its own peculiarities, and for the sake of development and stability, there must be sacrifices, which cannot be experienced in the mainland." ”
Chen Bo nodded, this question is not easy to answer, if you say yes, it is against your heart, and if you say no, it is easy to choke, and it is not good for anyone. And de-sinicization is a consensus that has been implemented for decades, and there is no need for him to challenge the tone set by his old son.
"I heard that your company plans to launch a portal that will cover the entire Southeast Asia, I would like to ask Mr. Chen if it is possible to abandon the Chinese version?" Lee Hsien Loong's careful thoughts hidden under his dark skin were finally revealed.
"Do you want to give up the entire Greater China market?" Chen Bo couldn't help but ask, "The general trend of the future economy, I don't need to say, you know better than me where the growth point is." Singapore and even Southeast Asia need a window to show their style, and Sin Chew is not only for local users, but also to help your country attract more capital, more talents, and more tourists. Chinese people are the most emotional, after the purse is bulging, they will want to come out for a walk, take a look, for the main ethnic group is also Chinese country is naturally extremely yearning, do you want to turn away these resources? ”
Rather than comparing Singapore and China on opposite sides, which touched his sensitive nerve, he drew an equity between Singapore's immediate and future economic income. While ports and oil refining are pillar industries, tourism is an important source of sustainable development.
Lee Hsien Loong still hasn't forgotten to go to Sinicization to ensure his independent status, for fear that the Chinese community will be influenced by China, but what is Chen Bo's mission for? How could he possibly agree to such a request.
