"I didn't expect that he would agree to our request so easily."

After coming out of Bush's campaign office, Jess still felt a little weird sitting in the car.

It is quite incomprehensible to betray the national interests and privately grant and accept positions in the government for the other party.

"Why won't you agree? For the other party, the position given to us is the same as us helping to introduce others to serve in government departments. Anyway, after he takes office, he will replace him with someone he trusts, and others will still be us.

It won’t have a big impact on him.”

Kaos raised the corner of his mouth, smiled at Jace and replied.

Those in power must have a big heart. Corruption and bribery are unavoidable in this world. As long as it is controlled within a certain reasonable range, it will not affect normal plans and policy implementation.

The same is true for Bush. Although Kaos and others have obtained these positions, there will inevitably be some private transactions under the table, but as long as they do not affect Bush's plans and orders, then everything does not matter.

Although Kaos feels that nothing he has done is of any benefit to the country or the people, this is reality. When standing in a high position and possessing power, few people can keep their true intentions.

After all, I am not greedy, but I also want to make preparations for the prosperity of my descendants and the family.

For the sake of the strength of my family, even if it feels immoral, I still have to do it.

After all, if you don't do these things, someone else will do them.

Kaos is just a selfish person and cannot be compared with a saint. Although he is willing to do good deeds, he does it as long as it does not affect his own interests.

"Hey, I just always feel weird. What will happen to the country if things continue like this?"

Jess admitted that he was just as selfish as his son, but when he saw the situation at the top of the country, he still felt very conflicted.

"This kind of thing is not our business, and when it comes to the critical moment of national subjugation, the vested interests of this country will not really do nothing. You have to believe that for capitalists, in order to protect their own interests, what will they do?

Everything can be done.”

In Kaos's view, there is no need to consider such issues. As the only superpower in the world, the United States has serious internal problems, but the impact on the country is not as serious as imagined. No matter how miserable it is, it is just

Just the people at the bottom.

Moreover, the repeated exploitation of the people, in addition to maintaining the wealth of the upper class, is also a good thing to concentrate social resources and do bigger projects.

"Haha...Son, what you said is absolutely true."

Following Kaos's words, Jess also swept away his previous unfounded worries and laughed in agreement. At the same time, his eyes were full of imagination for the future of the Jones family, hoping that one day he could be recorded in history like Rockefeller and Morgan.

middle.

With the negotiation between Kaos and Bush completed, there is no need for Kaos to keep an eye on the remaining work. Naturally, there are people below to cooperate according to Bush's needs.

Kaos also put his work back on his business.

Since the Internet stock market crash in early March, the stock price of the entire Internet has not been very good. Internet companies have gone bankrupt every day. However, in the second half of the year, the entire situation has worsened. On the contrary, Google has been uncharacteristically making rapid progress.

If we talk about YouTube and email businesses, they have only opened up Google's advertising landscape and provided advertisers with more advertising channels.

Then Google Music is an alternative development. Google Music requires users' login mode, which strengthens Google's previous weak connection with users.

At the same time, the alternative digital copyright charging model has also brought greater vitality to this software, and has also allowed the iPod and portable digital multimedia players produced by Google to enter the market faster than Apple and be accepted by a large number of users.

In fact, Google had almost successfully developed the portable digital multimedia player, i.e. iPod, as early as mid-1999 at the request of Kaos. However, the music industry at that time was controlled by major record companies and singers.

There is simply no room for Google Music and iPod to survive, and Kaos can only suppress them temporarily.

After all, apart from concepts, these two things do not have any particularly high technical content.

The source of all this change was the MP3 device produced in 1998 and the software Napster. If MP3 was just a novel playback device, then Napster was the culprit that brought down the physical record companies.

This napster is a software that can convert music in CDs into mp3 audio format and download it to mp3 devices for free.

Don’t think that copyright awareness in the West is very strong. This is the result of generations of rights defenders suing pirates until they go bankrupt.

Therefore, after the birth of Napster, physical sales of CDs and tapes experienced a rollercoaster-like decline.

Although Napster was eventually bankrupted by the physical record company, but when one Napster fell, countless Napster softwares stood up around the world.

This kind of piracy has become so prevalent that even physical record companies have no good solution.

After all, compared to physical records, MP3 is more convenient and faster, so few users will not like it.

It is also for this reason that when iPod and Google Music appeared, and they cooperated with physical record companies to sell digital music rights, all the difficulties that should have been eliminated were eliminated.

Although some record companies are stubborn and still fantasize about a high price, more record companies are eager to cooperate with Google Music.

A massive amount of digital music has entered Google Music's online music mall. Although each song only earns less than 2.30 cents, based on the huge base, it is also an astronomical profit.

Of course, the bigger source of profits is the booming sales of iPods, although Kaos is squeezing the original market of MP3s in order to fill the market with goods as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the price of iPod is not expensive. It is completely different from the high price of US$399 per unit when Apple launched the iPod in history. Instead, the price was set at US$299, but each unit still generated nearly US$100 in revenue.

With the cooperation of these two things alone, Google has made hundreds of millions of dollars more net profit every month.

This also allowed Google to perform very strongly during the Internet bubble. Although its market value was not able to return to the period of disruption, it bucked the trend and rose. In early November, it regained its market value of US$47.3 billion.

It completely surpasses Yahoo, whose current stock price is just over 10 billion.

At the same time, it is also because of the sales of iPods and high-configuration gaming computers that Google is no longer completely regarded as an Internet company, but as a newly emerging high-tech group.
