Reborn multinational giant

"What measures and methods do you plan to adopt to deal with the pressure and censure from governments and regulatory authorities of various countries?" Another executive of the Carlyle Group asked Fang Zhe a question that was not surprising.

Heaven helps self-help people, although Fang Zhe and Huizhong hope to use the influence and power of the world’s top capital to protect Huizhong’s future global development, but he also understands that these capitals are more willing to help a capable Fang Zhehe Huizhong, what they can give to Huizhong is only to help, not to say that after Huizhong accepts their investment, it will be completely smooth in the future.

You should know that even multinational giants such as Google and Microsoft that have grown up in the United States are often subject to antitrust investigations and various penalties and censures by European regulatory agencies that seem to be integrated with the United States.

To put it bluntly, everything is based on interests. Companies such as Google and Microsoft are making huge profits in Europe. If they can’t serve the relevant European departments well, they will have troubles.

"We intend to adopt independent operations in different countries and regions based on actual conditions to meet the regulatory requirements of governments and regulatory agencies.

For countries and regions in need, we can deploy independent servers locally to ensure that the personal data and communication data of local users stay in the local area and accept the supervision of relevant departments.

In practice, similar to Yahoo and Google's previous globalization approach, branches in various countries and regions have a high degree of independent operational autonomy, but are controlled by the parent company in terms of shares and finance."

Several executives of the Carlyle Group looked at each other, and they were no exception to Fang Zhe’s answer. Looking at the internationalization experience of major global Internet companies that have been successful, Fang Zhe said this approach , Is the most common, most common, and the easiest way to reduce various political difficulties.

When Fang Zhe and others left the Carlyle Group and flew from HSD to Silicon Valley, just after getting off the plane, Fang Zhe received the latest news from the U.S. office. The proposal of a U.S. congressman to ban WeChat operations in the U.S. has been revoked!

Fang Zhe and Zheng Siwen looked at each other. Zheng Siwen had no choice but to spread their hands with him. There was no way, this is reality!

The purpose of Fang Zhe and others’ visit to Silicon Valley was to get in touch with Huizhong’s potential financing target Apple. Before coming, Fang Zhe had asked his secretary Li Wen to make an appointment in advance with the Apple founder and founder who had eaten with Fang Zhe. CEO, Jobs!

To talk about the next ten years, to talk about the world's greatest and most influential top company in the world in the mobile Internet era, it can only be Apple!

If it was reborn ten years earlier, perhaps leading the smartphone trend, the company that started the mobile Internet era would be Huizhong founded by Fang Zhe. However, when Fang Zhe was reborn in 2008, the rebirth was when Apple had already occupied the smartphone industry and the mobile Internet era. With the most favorable terrain and leading advantage, Fang Zhe understands that the apple of this life will continue its past glory!

Even with the help of Fang Zhe, Xiaomi, in the next three to five years, will at most compete with Samsung, who is also in the Android camp, for the top position of the Android camp, and will not be able to compete with Apple, the leader of the smartphone era and the flourishing mobile Internet. Contend with the creators!

Therefore, if we want to make WeChat a firm foothold in the world, and want to make Huizhong a world-class company, Fang Zhe has to take advantage of the trend and hug Apple's thighs!

In a Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley, Fang Zhe once again met Apple founder Jobs.

Because Fang Zhe and Steve Jobs ate together when Apple released the ipad at the beginning of the year, so the two of them were quite familiar. In addition, a few months ago, when Apple released the iphone4, Huizhong under Fang Zhe’s orders The testing department once deliberately fed back the issue of "iphone4 antenna door" to Apple. This feedback can be regarded as a great help to Apple!

Because the antenna signal problem of the iphone4 was predicted in advance, before the official release of the iphone, Apple adopted a compromise method and modified the mobile phone signal algorithm to reduce the impact of this problem before the official release of the iphone. Therefore, this life and the past life were agitated at that time. The "iphone4 antenna gate" did not happen.

Even so, Apple and Jobs still expressed their great gratitude to each other Zhe and Huizhong, because compared to Fang Zhe and Huizhong who are laymen in the mobile phone industry, Apple and Jobs know better if a mobile phone has a signal problem. What a serious joke that is, you know, the reason why mobile phones were developed is to meet people's communication needs, and communication is also the most basic function of mobile phones.

Jobs could imagine that if competitors in the mobile phone industry such as Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola, etc. know that there is a problem with Apple’s newly released iphone4 mobile phone signal, then I am afraid that the executives of these companies will also take this while laughing out their teeth. They ridiculed Apple and even stepped on Apple's iphone4 to advertise!

In fact, these things that Jobs envisioned did happen in the previous life. Therefore, when Jobs heard that Cook told him that Huizhong was interested in seeking financing from Apple, after a few seconds of serious consideration, he agreed to follow Meet Fang Zhe to discuss!

Almost a year away, Jobs looked a lot more haggard than last time. Fang Zhe knew that this was because his condition had deteriorated again!

Next year, yes, next October, at most only a year or so away from now, this "great man" whom Fang Zhe admired in his heart is about to die!

Thinking of this, Fang Zhe looked at Jobs in his eyes, with a touch of complexity in his joy, but this touch of complexity did not escape Jobs's eyes.

"Mr. Fang Zhe has something on his mind?" Jobs asked immediately.

"Well, I didn't expect that within one year, I could meet you twice with your husband!" Fang Zhe nodded and explained casually.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, maybe this is the so-called fate!" Jobs responded casually.

Fang Zhe suppressed the complex emotions from the bottom of his heart to predict that Jobs had entered the countdown to death, and chatted casually with Jobs.

The topics of the two people ranged from the Chinese food in this Chinese restaurant to the iphone4 antenna door that Huizhong helped Apple avoid last time, to the good results of several new mobile games launched by Huizhong this year on the appstore, the mobile Internet industry, The development of the mobile phone industry, the global development of Apple and iPhone, the global development of Huizhong and so on.

It was not until more than an hour later that the two of them talked about Huizhong's WeChat, and Fang Zhe slowly stated the purpose of the trip. Huizhong intends to seek financing from Apple!
