NOVEL NEXT Chapter 90
“President, as our staff expands, our office space has become increasingly crowded. I suggest that we rent another office space and move some departments there.” Xu Lei suggested.
Well, there are currently 126 people working on the seventh floor of Yanjing Science and Technology Building. The entire floor is about 1,300 square meters. According to the area ratio, each person has about 10 square meters of office space.
Of course, after removing the shared space such as offices, conference rooms, and rest areas, each person still has about 6 square meters, which is quite good.
“Well, has the eighth floor above us been rented out?”
Ye Yunzhou remembered that it had not been rented out when he came last time, and he didn’t know if it had been rented out now.
“It hasn’t been rented out. I heard that there is something wrong with the eighth floor.” After Zhao Man finished speaking, everyone looked at her curiously, wondering what the problem was.
“Well, it is said that the eighth floor was rented by a company before, but an employee of that company jumped off the building, and the company later went bankrupt, so no one dared to rent this floor after that, even though the landlord had lowered the rent twice.”
Ye Yunzhou frowned, not quite believing this argument. Everyone knew that it was possible for the local boss not to rent, but what about the foreign boss? Could the landlord tell him such a thing when he came to rent a house?
“Xu Lei, please arrange someone to investigate and see if there are any property rights issues or other legal disputes on the eighth floor. If not, we will take it down as soon as possible and use it as our office.”
Xu Lei nodded, indicating that he would arrange someone to investigate today.
“By the way, are our classmates who are going to the United States and Europe to open branches going smoothly?” Ye Yunzhou asked Xu Lei, because Xu Lei was fully responsible for this matter.
“Well, it’s not going too smoothly. It’s OK in Europe. The company has applied for it. As long as our product passes the relevant EU review, it can be launched.”
“As for the United States, the company’s application has not been approved yet? Even if we have invited the most powerful American legal advisor to help deal with it.”
Ye Yunzhou frowned. He certainly understood how difficult it is for a social software to enter the Western market. This is related to the issue of Western public opinion hegemony. So he came up with the idea of opening a branch in the local area and storing data locally in order to pass the review of European and American countries.
It seems that we have to find another way.
The US and European markets must be won. Without these two markets, it is difficult to become a world-class company. This has been proven in later generations.
However, TikTok of Yiming in the future can win the European and American markets, and Ye Yunzhou does not believe that he can’t win it. Now the relationship between Europe and the United States and Daxia is still in the honeymoon period.
“I’ll figure out a way to deal with this matter. Let’s adjourn the meeting. You guys go and get busy first.”
Everyone waited for Ye Yunzhou to leave before leaving the meeting room in order. Ye Yunzhou shook his head, feeling helpless. He wondered why it was so difficult to promote an equal cultural atmosphere in the company.
Back in his office, Ye Yunzhou sat in his boss chair and quietly thought about how to get his products into the European and American markets, especially the American market, because once he entered the American market, it would be very easy to enter the markets of the American brothers.
The first thing he thought of was to introduce European and American capital and give up some of his interests in exchange for more interests in the future.
But when he thought of the bloody mouths of the European and American crocodiles, he was still a little worried, afraid that he would let the wolf into the house and be bitten back in the end. You have to know that he is still very weak now and has no strength to fight against these big capitals overseas.
Moreover, Alphabet is not a hot commodity in the eyes of capital at present, because social software like Facebook already has products such as Friendster and MySpace in the United States, but their functions and experience are much worse than Facebook.
Of course, Ye Yunzhou also thought of another way, which is to find an American and let him be the legal person of the American branch, and then the entire American branch will implement full employee shareholding, so that he can also get most of the benefits, but this method is only a stopgap measure. The US government and American chaebols are not fools. Once they are found out, they will also be dealt with by the US authorities in the end. Well, it seems that TikTok, a classmate of Yiming in the future, adopted this method, but the US authorities banned it with legislation, and all operations were abolished.
Well…what else can we do?
It seems that we can only take the route of technical sanctions. When the time comes, let them beg Alphabet to open a branch, and then all problems can be solved. However, this method feels a bit like hurting the enemy a thousand times and hurting oneself eight hundred. He really doesn’t dare to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
And the current US military is a bit cruel. This year’s Iraq War is said to have stunned the world and awakened Xiaguo. Why is it soWhat do you think?
From a military perspective, the Iraq War demonstrated a new way of fighting and a new form of warfare. The United States quickly defeated the Iraqi army with its high-tech military equipment and advanced combat concepts. This war allowed the world to see the tremendous power of information warfare, and also made Xia Guo deeply aware of the urgency and importance of its own military modernization.
In terms of military concepts, the traditional large-scale corps combat mode has been impacted, and concepts such as precision strikes, information warfare, and joint operations have become the key to modern warfare. This has prompted Xia Guo to reflect on and strengthen its determination to update its military strategy and combat thinking.
In terms of weapons and equipment, Xia Guo realized that it was necessary to speed up the development and equipment of advanced information weapons to improve the information level and combat capabilities of the army.
If the Americans feel that they cannot compete in the technological competition and use force, Xia Guo’s current national strength is not enough to guarantee their own security.
As for Europe, the Data Protection Directive was just issued this year, and the General Data Protection Regulation will be issued next. These are obstacles that Facebook may encounter in its audit.
Oh, it’s really a headache.
Ye Yunzhou thought a lot, and he didn’t come back to his senses until his assistant Shangguan Wan’er knocked on the door to get the information for him to sign.
“President, what do you need to drink?”
“Go get me a cup of iced Americano, no sugar, thank you.” Ye Yunzhou said as he signed.
“……”
Ye Yunzhou held a coffee cup, leaned against the window on the seventh floor, looked at the various people on the street, and fell into deep thought again.
“Jarvis, let’s talk.”
“Well, Brother Zhou, what’s the matter?”
“Jarvis, do you have all the technological information of the Marvel Universe?”
“All, but with the manufacturing level of your world, these technologies cannot be manufactured at all for the time being.”
Ye Yunzhou frowned. It seems that Jarvis has not found a sense of belonging in this universe. He said to Jarvis: “What do you mean by your world? It’s our world. You should know that you are also in our world now. You and I are one. If something happens to me, you may really disappear in the entire universe.”
As a super artificial intelligence, Jarvis’s IQ is even higher than that of human geniuses. When Ye Yunzhou said that, he felt that it was true. Now Ye Yunzhou is equivalent to its host. Once the host has an accident, it may really disappear.
After thinking this through, Jarvis asked, “Brother Zhou, are you in trouble? How can I help you?”
“There is something I need your help with.”
