Chapter 341 I Won’t Sell My Conscience (4527)

Ysou has a market share of 31.01%, 720 has a market share of 17.23%, Biying has a market share of 16.59%, Sogou has a market share of 15.38%, and Shenma has a market share of 13.22%...

Y search market share is 31%? (See, there are several more characters than Arabic numerals, right?)
When Zhang Xiangzheng saw this number, he almost burst into laughter!

The peak number of visits per second exceeds 42,800?
The market share of 42800 times is 31%?

what the hell?

Under normal circumstances, the entire Da Zhou search industry combined would only have more than 75,000 visits per second during peak hours, right?

More than 60 times, the market share has exceeded 31%! Why is it shown as %?

There must be something wrong!
Absolutely not 31%!

It is even more impossible to be more than 42,000 times!
Wait, 31 of them were from overseas, so the number of visits from the Greater Zhou region was , so the market share was %?

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Xiangzheng's forehead.

Their market share web page is built in cooperation with a large ISP, which provides them with users' network traffic in real time, and helps them understand which search engines users use, as well as real-time traffic data.

This cooperation model is very sensitive, and only a few management members of the company have the authority to view it on 720.

He was not unaware that Ysou had been eating up the traffic from "Devil's Island" on the external network these days. Although several senior executives of 720 Search had discussed it in a meeting, they had never taken it seriously.

Firstly, no matter how much traffic is consumed on the external network, it is basically useless for Dazhou Internet Company at this stage.

Secondly, the traffic from Devil's Island will eventually go there, and after that, Google will still be the same Google, and Ysou will have to give back as much as it has taken in.

Almost all application account logins for overseas users are linked to Google, and it is impossible to separate from Google.

If these users cannot be truly converted into Ysou users, it will be difficult for Ysou to gain commercial benefits overseas.

In other words, Ysou is losing money to gain publicity, paying a large amount of real money to support overseas users' visits, but in the end these people will still run away.

Therefore, he doesn’t care how popular Ysou is overseas, and he even feels a little gloating.

But what is going on with domestic user access now?

The logic for domestic user access and overseas user access is different.

Google has monopolized the "account login" hegemony by relying on email accounts, but due to different user habits in China, users do not attach much importance to email at all. On the contrary, most applications are registered with mobile phone numbers.

In this case, the problem of "account hegemony" by large companies can be avoided to a considerable extent.

Therefore, these users converted from Qianxun are real users who can truly generate benefits!

But how did Ysou attract so many users?

Just as he was puzzled, he saw that the data on the screen that was refreshed every thirty seconds had changed again.

The curve of Y search continues to rise, 31.33%!

Within half an hour, the market share increased by 0.03%! ?

what happened! ?

How could it be rising so fast?
But it’s not over yet. When it was refreshed next time, Ysou’s market share increased by 0.2% again!

This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that the market share of 720 has dropped by only one thousandth!

The market share of its fellow sufferers, such as Sogou, Biying, Shenma, etc., is also declining!

Zhang Xiangzheng immediately realized that the traffic Ysou had taken from Qianxun was close to its limit, and it turned around and started to take the traffic from these little Karamis!

Even if Qianxun is inaccessible, its 60 billion daily searches will not be completely transferred to other search engines. At most, only % of the search behaviors will be transferred to other search engines.

Users’ search needs can be divided into three categories: strong needs (users really need to search for something), weak needs (temporary searches driven by curiosity), and pseudo needs (incorrect or induced search behaviors).

Pseudo-demand accounts for about 20% of the total search volume and is usually triggered by the device’s default search engine, Qianxun.

When Qianxun is inaccessible, pseudo-demand will hardly be transferred to other search engines.

Weak demand accounts for about 50%. When Qianxun is not available, about half of the weak demand users will choose to give up the search and will not switch to the default search engine.

Only strong demand users, accounting for about 30%, have enough motivation to switch search engines.

Therefore, out of the peak search volume of 75000 searches per second on Qianxun, only 40000 searches per second will be transferred, and the rest of the search behaviors will disappear.

what does that mean! ?

This means that Ysou has taken over more than half of Qianxun’s strong-demand users and at least 20% of weak-demand users!
Eating these is not enough, now they turn around and start eating their cakes!

Dry!Dry!Dry!
Zhang Xiangzheng was shocked and angry. He had originally expected that the 720 additional visits per second would at least double 's advertising revenue. Now, every time Ysou took away some visits from them, it meant a decrease in their advertising revenue.

"Old Zhang! Ysou has become a trending search on Weibo! I sent it to you on WeChat, take a look. Damn! Weibo, Toutiao and Moments are full of news about Ysou." A cry of surprise came from the phone, and Zhang Xiangzheng realized that he had not hung up the phone yet.

Is Y on trending search?
Are Weibo trending searches so effective? Can they drive such a large number of searches?

Zhang Xiangzheng said a few words hurriedly and hung up the phone.

The entire afternoon, he was basically dealing with contracts, attending meetings, and making phone calls to gossip about Chihiro, and he really didn't pay any attention to the online public opinion.

He opened Weibo and searched, and the message from Ysou appeared on his phone screen.

In fact, there is no need to search at all, the hot search headlines will appear directly.

Ysou’s marketing is really expensive.

"Ysou CEO confronts BlackRock"

“The most handsome CEO”

"The Real Overbearing President"

???

What is this ghost?

Zhang Xiangzheng selected a video with the highest number of views and clicked to play. It seemed to be a negotiation scene. Several foreigners in suits and several men and women who looked like Da Zhou appeared in the video.

"Zhou, you know me well. I don't like beating around the bush. Please immediately ban all "false and harmful information" from spreading on Ysou. If you don't immediately ban the spread of this information, BlackRock and its affiliates will never participate in Ysou's future financing plans."

“I must remind you that Ysou’s attitude of covering up ‘false and harmful information’ is totally inconsistent with our ESG standards.”

A fifty-year-old Zhou woman with triangular eyes spoke English and arrogantly threw the folder in her hand onto the conference table.

Sitting opposite her was a young man who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a standard three-piece suit, with a handsome face and a standard figure.

Is it the CFO of Dami who I just met last year? It seems that Lei Jun admires him very much. Has he switched to Ysou?

Zhang Xiangzheng muttered to himself.

He had met Zhou Shuzi once last year when he and Boss Qiu attended the Qingzhen Internet Conference, and he had some impression of him.

In the video, facing the middle-aged woman's aggressiveness, Zhou Shuzi just calmly picked up the water on the table and took a sip without making any statement.

"Sally, Mr. Zhou, we have also invested in Yuzu Technology. We are very aware that with Yuzu Technology's current financial situation, it is unable to support your current R&D and operating expenses."

A middle-aged white man with neatly combed hair was playing with the Vanguard fountain pen in his hand and spoke in a gentle manner.

"We can promise that if Ysou makes greater changes in controlling 'false and harmful information' and performs more social responsibilities, BlackRock can provide Ysou with more support in financing."

"A standard loan of 3 million Malaysian dollars, or an equivalent 10% equity financing. Zhou, you should know that BlackRock rarely intervenes in projects at this stage."

"Moreover, the 30 billion dollar valuation is far beyond the actual value of Ysou at present."

"Zhou, with this money, Ysou's cash flow difficulties will be alleviated immediately, and it will be enough to support you through the first 18 months of the dangerous period."

Before Zhou Shuzi could say anything, the Zhou woman named Sally reacted violently and slammed the table and stood up: "Robert, I did not agree to this arrangement! This is within my scope of authority!"

The middle-aged white man named Robert raised his right hand and pressed it down. "Sally, don't get excited. If you don't agree, I will hand over this investment to the Alternative Investment Department. There is no need to use your budget."

The middle-aged white man was obviously the good guy, and he and the bad guy, the woman named Sally from Da Zhou, sang in unison, and they worked in perfect harmony.

"Mr. Goldstein, I am very grateful for BlackRock's appreciation."

Zhou Shuzi, who was also wearing a high-end three-piece suit, remained calm and composed.

"But I still don't understand what the 'false and harmful information' that Ms. Huang and Mr. Goldstein have been talking about is."

"Ysou is just a search engine and a commercial company. We do not make any moral judgments and do not have any Zheng Zhi bias."

"All the information that users search on our search engine is existing information on the Internet. We do not produce information, we are just an aggregator of information."

"At the same time, we will also comply with all laws of the countries where Y operates. As far as I know, Y has never violated the laws and regulations of any country where it operates."

Zhou Shuzi talked freely while flipping through the documents in his hand.

The fifty-something Da Zhou woman is the real power figure in BlackRock's Da Zhou district, Huang Shasha, whose English name is Sally, while the white man is Robert Goldstein, BlackRock's chief operating officer.

BlackRock's Greater China headquarters is in Newport. Zhou Shuzi was still very surprised when he saw Goldstein in the BlackRock Greater China conference room on the 16th floor of the Dajiang Group Center on Queen's Road Central.

Robert Goldstein is the chief operating officer of BlackRock. He is basically the fourth most important person in BlackRock after BlackRock Chairman Larry Fink, Vice Chairman Hillibrand, and President Rob Capito.

If we talk about actual business, Goldstein might move up one or two places in the ranking.

Such a person actually showed up in BlackRock's Newport headquarters today to communicate with me about the information of "Devil's Island"!

It seems that the "Devil's Island" incident caused by the mysterious ASF has a greater impact on "them" than they currently know and imagine.

But why is Huang Shasha joining in the fun?

Faced with Zhou Shuzi's calmness, Huang Shasha and Goldstein looked at each other, and Goldstein said, "To be precise, it is those unverified false news, such as the false news released by the 'ASF' who has been identified as an empty cloth element."

Zhou Shuzi nodded slightly. "I see. However, Mr. Goldstein, I must correct you. According to the public statement released by President Obama, the US Gov. identified the 'UN air attack' as an airstrike, but did not identify the ASF as 'airstrike elements'."

"Moreover, Ysou has not violated any U.S. law under the First Amendment and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act."

Obama’s statement on the airstrike is also very interesting.

He identified the entire incident as an "Kongbu attack", but did not identify the ASF as "Kongbu elements". At the same time, he did not identify the people on the list as "Kongbu attack victims".

This leaves a lot of room for interpretation of this statement.

The Jude people believe that since the whole incident has been identified as an airstrike, the ASF is an airstrike element and the people involved are victims. All the revelations that are unfavorable to the victims are smears and should be banned.

Those who oppose the Judean view believe that the President has determined that the three Apaches under the control of Mossad that launched the Hellfire missiles were the executors of the Kongbu attack, while Mossad was the initiator of the terrorist attack, and the Emmanuel brothers and the Absteins were members of the Kongbu organization. Therefore, Mossad should be identified as the Kongbu organization, and Israel should be identified as an evil country.

The two sides were arguing fiercely. Of course, due to too much evidence, Mossad was basically hammered to death. It was called a quarrel, but it was basically Jude's people making unreasonable trouble.

Because they have accumulated so much wealth and so much power over the past hundred years, they are still able to buy off and instigate a considerable number of people to speak for them. For a while, it seems that their voices are evenly matched.

As for the Judeans in Mai, they are divided into two directions to defend themselves. One side is arrogant and unreasonable, saying that "they" are not wrong, it is all anti-Jude consciousness at work, and demands that the government crack down on it severely.

The other group is the Maijudeans represented by Blackrock. On the one hand, they secretly use various connections to block and eliminate relevant information. On the other hand, they criticize Israel and try to show their attitude of decoupling from Israel, making others think that "they" are not in the same group and they do not support Israel's approach.

But how do you explain that you are also on the list of more than 3,000 people going to the island?

How do you explain the tens of billions of dollars donated to Israel every year?

The most interesting person in this matter is Obama. After issuing the statement, he has not expressed any opinion on the interpretations of the statement by various parties, and has just sat on the sidelines watching the fight between the two tigers.

Therefore, Zhou Shuzi's rebuttal was well-founded and there was nothing wrong with it.

After hearing Zhou Shuzi's rebuttal, Goldstein frowned slightly and glanced at Susan.

Sally felt a little embarrassed. She knew very well the relationship between Ysou and Yuzu Technology, but she didn't care at all.

In her opinion, as long as she puts her name on the list and uses BlackRock's platform, everyone will give her some face.

Sally slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Zhou Shuzi. Angwen stopped talking and turned to Zhou Wen: "Why are you guys pretending? Do you still want to raise funds? Do you still want to go public? I sue you, don't talk nonsense to me, it's useless! I can crush you to death like crushing a bug! I told you to block you, so block you! Do you understand?"

Facing Sally's shrew-like abuse, Zhou Shuzi was stunned at first, then smiled slightly, looked at Goldstein, and stood up: "Mr. Goldstein, I think it may be difficult for us to reach a consensus today. I am very happy to meet you in Newport. I hope we can have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future."

Goldstein stood up quickly and reached out to stop Zhou Shuzi: "Zhou, I don't know what Sally said, but I believe she was just excited for a moment."

"A three-year interest-free loan of 20 billion Malaysian dollars or a % equity investment to assist Ysou in its IPO within three years if its performance meets the requirements."

"That's our bottom line."

Zhou Shuzi nodded sincerely: "Mr. Goldstein, thank you very much for your honesty, but maybe you have misunderstood. Ysou is not ready to go public and will never go public."

"So, sorry, we are not prepared to abandon our moral code."

"We are a commercial company and a group of pure businessmen. Everything we have can be sold as merchandise, except for one thing."

“That’s our conscience.”

There is a recommendation on the 9th, and I have to take my son to the hospital tomorrow. Every time before or on the day of the recommendation, I happen to go to the hospital once a month. I am really impressed by my luck.
