Chapter 2651 Sensitive Topics

Seeing Feng Yiping so overjoyed, including Mike and Sandberg, their impression of Wu Qian suddenly improved. They all thought that Wu Qian was trying to help them out.

Wu Qian had this consideration, but it was really just a side issue. She knew very well what Feng Yiping was still paying attention to after leaving Paris.

Charles, the head of France, also knew this, so after receiving Charles's notice, she felt that she should report the good news to Feng Yiping as soon as possible.

In the conference room, Feng Yiping laughed loudly and felt something was wrong. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's talk about the next question."

But then, he couldn't suppress his "hahaha".

The picture of him taking pictures on the table while laughing also infected those in Silicon Valley who didn't know why Feng Yiping was laughing. Soon, several people here also laughed.

"Sorry, wait a moment," Feng Yiping gestured and whispered to Wu Qian, "Tell the restaurant that I want to eat tomato and egg noodles for supper,"

This video on YouTube really made him overjoyed.

Originally, he did have high expectations for this, but as the saying goes, even a wise man can make mistakes, and he was no exception.

He really didn't expect that the speech at the Ecole Normale Supérieure did not affect the enthusiasm of his night tour of Paris with Cotillard the night before, but his "communication" with Pierre, a well-known reporter from Le Monde, in front of the airport successfully diverted everyone's attention from his speech.

Pierre may have a bad relationship with people.

Shortly after Feng Yiping boarded the plane, the relevant video was not only posted on YouTube, but also released in full by some TV stations.

Of course, the banner of the TV station was naturally to understand Feng Yiping's views on subprime mortgages through that "communication".

In fact, everyone regarded it as a joke.

Such a joke is naturally more popular than Feng Yiping's more than 30-minute, quite serious speech, so things went wrong, and Pierre quickly became a popular figure in a way he never wanted.

Feng Yiping also felt that there must not be many people who insisted on watching his speech and therefore pointed the finger at Delanoe.

Unexpectedly, there are so many fans of him.

He was also 100% sure that what happened to Delanoe that evening must have been an organized act.

Because judging from the time, the three groups of people had obviously coordinated; judging from the result, it was obviously designed, ketchup and eggs, fried eggs with tomatoes!

It seems that some students of the École Normale Supérieure did not disappoint his earnest expectations before leaving. This result can be said to be really good beyond his expectations.

"I think that's perfect," Wu Qian replied with a smile.

As Feng Yiping's most trusted assistant, she naturally understood Feng Yiping's preferences.

Her answer was naturally in line with Feng Yiping's wishes, "I'm sorry," Feng Yiping smiled at the camera, "Something happy, okay, let's continue,"

"The next topic, this is a notice,"

"Considering that colleagues in the park live scattered in various places in the Bay Area, in order to facilitate everyone's commuting, I am considering setting up commuter buses, renting passenger ships, and opening up commuter ferry routes across the San Francisco Bay,"

Hearing this, the meeting room suddenly became happy, this is another benefit that facilitates everyone.

Feng Yiping mentioned this because when he was in New York, he saw that Goldman Sachs had purchased a cruise ship to facilitate employees' commuting. As a Silicon Valley company, it should not be worse than Goldman Sachs.

Mike and the others immediately understood why Feng Yiping also notified Cummins to join the meeting later.

Because this should obviously fall within Cummins' scope of responsibility.

So, at the same time, notifying Randolph of YouTube to come over, is it also to coordinate this matter?

"Okay, everyone else go back to work, Mike, Zuckerberg, Sandberg, you stay for a while, and, have Cummins and the others arrived?"

After a while, Cummins and Randolph walked in with a smile, "Feng,"

"Hi, both of you, please sit down," Feng Yiping greeted them, "Zach, do you know why I invited Cummins and Randolph to discuss this issue?"

Zach shook his head. He really didn't understand why he called them over, because they should have gone to Cummins for a meeting.

"I'm wondering if we can add another function to our product," Feng Yiping said.

Zuckerberg immediately became alert, "What function?"

Because he knew that Feng Yiping's suggestions in this regard would be very insightful.

Feng Yiping stood up, "We have always emphasized sharing and interconnection, but I think, is it enough to just connect everyone online? Can we do better?"

"I think we can do more,"

"Facebook is still a personal product at present, so can we make it suitable for team communication?"

"For example, we can form a group based on work, common interests, topics of concern, etc."--Feng Yiping really thinks that Penguin's group is really useful.

"Anyone has the right to create a group. These groups can be open or closed, and the number of members can range from a few to tens of thousands, but the administrator can control the members who join and review the content..."

"If we can add such a function, today's problem and many similar problems in the future, we will no longer need to notify and solicit opinions through emails. It can be completed quickly in such a group,"

Sandberg immediately said, "Each team can discuss and communicate together in a group," she said excitedly, "Feng, this feature will be very helpful for our business expansion, allowing us to Our products can be used in more work scenarios from now on,"

"This is definitely going to be a very popular feature," Cummins said. "I'm just thinking about how much easier it will be for us to do our jobs."

That is, WeChat later became the number one social platform in China, which had a lot to do with its "group" function and its successful entry into the work scene.

"So Zach, can such a function be implemented?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Technically speaking, there won't be any problems." Zuckerberg was gearing up at this time. He also fully understood the significance of this function. "I'm thinking that the new products we are developing can also be introduced into this feature." function,"

"Absolutely," Feng Yiping said, "Then, this task will be left to you,"

"We will get it done as soon as possible, Feng," Zuckerberg replied, looking at Feng Yiping with some eagerness.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Sandberg saw what Zuckerberg meant, "Zucker is hoping that you can have more suggestions, Feng,"

Feng Yiping waved his hand, "Not yet. Also, especially Xiao Zha, you can't become dependent on me in this regard,"

"No, but if you have more suggestions, Feng, that would be best," Zuckerberg said, lowering his head.

He always felt that Feng Yiping's suggestions were better than the ideas that came out of the hackathons they had been conducting.

"Let's put this issue aside for now. Next, let's discuss another issue." Feng Yiping became serious again. "At least from the current point of view, in terms of social networking, because of NEXTDOOR, Facebook, and YouTube, we can be said to be the most powerful people in the world. A powerful social company,"

Although only in terms of number of users, it is still unable to beat Penguin. The number of active users of Penguin instant messaging is estimated to be close to 300 million.

But in terms of coverage and influence, Penguin cannot catch up, because Penguin’s users are mainly concentrated in China, while Facebook and YouTube users have spread all over the world.

"This is naturally a good thing, but I think we will encounter many problems unexpectedly in the future, and they will be very difficult problems,"

He stood at the table, "The first thorny issue is whether we should censor the content published on our platform,"

As soon as he mentioned the word censorship, the faces of the four people over there immediately became serious.

Because in the United States, the word censorship is often synonymous with standing on the opposite side of "freedom of speech", so it is very sensitive.

Although, especially after 9/11, the freedom of speech that Americans have always been proud of has actually been subject to many and more obvious restrictions than before, this is by no means an issue that any company has the courage to challenge.

Everyone fell silent again.
