Chapter 2924: One Melon After Another
Noon on February 11, San Francisco.
Mayer was wearing a custom-made French print dress, a blue trench coat, and sunglasses. She was sitting lazily in the spacious back seat of the Lincoln Navigator. Next to her, there was a capable middle-aged woman who was scrolling through her mobile phone. However, Mayer was always sitting sideways.
This is not Mayer’s friend, but her temporary life assistant, Ms. Kirby, the top female obstetrician in the United States.
Such a costly arrangement was a move that Feng Yiping insisted on very much.
Mayer is different from the mother of his first two children. Although she takes good care of herself, she is already 34 years old this year, which is very close to an older mother in the general sense. It is always better to be more cautious.
Another reason for Feng Yiping's persistence was, of course, to compensate, because he couldn't fully accompany her through this special day, so asking an expert like Kirby to accompany her could be regarded as a token of his gratitude.
Feng Yiping's thoughts also included Billie, Mayer's driver, who often looked at Mayer in the rearview mirror.
This young woman with blond hair tightly tied back her head and hands that look very powerful comes from Irving's team. In addition to her first-class security capabilities, she also has outstanding first aid capabilities. She is one of the few in the team with excellent overall abilities.
When the Golden Gate Bridge appeared completely on the side of the car, Billie saw that Mayer was paying special attention to the flower shop she just passed. She immediately slowed down and asked, "Do you want to stop?"
Mayer's eyes were still on the flower shop, but he didn't say whether to stop or not.
Because Valentine's Day is two days later, she just remembered that today is the corresponding holiday, what many people call the "Proud Singles' Day".
On this day, those single nobles who have not yet started a family will buy themselves some candies, flowers, etc., in order to show their married friends that they have the right to be single that they can no longer enjoy.
Of course she would not be so bored as to take this holiday to heart before, but today, she looked at her belly, which was huge, and then looked at her hands, which were empty.
But even if his hands are empty, because of this lump in his stomach, today is probably his last single day.
Why did I fall into such a trap?
Finally she said, "Stop,"
Although she should receive his flowers in two days, and although what she wanted most after two days was not his flowers, today, she decided to buy herself a big bouquet, and said, "Kirby, today I Want some chocolate,"
Kirby, who had a high salary, probably understood what she was thinking and didn't disappoint her, "I want to eat too,"
The goddess of Silicon Valley, who was suddenly in a bad mood, immediately became happy and happily chose a gift for herself in the flower shop. When she was deciding whether to choose a thousand-day red or a golden ball for flowers, she suddenly heard the always steady Kirby Suddenly he shouted, "Oh my God!"
She frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Kirby walked to her side excitedly and showed her his cell phone, "Look at this."
That was Kirby's Facebook. Mayer took a look at it and was stunned, "Feng Yiping is involved in the Madoff fraud case!"
She immediately grabbed Kirby's cell phone, how could it be possible? How could he do such a thing?
Billie, who was standing at the door of the store, saw that Mayer was also so excited. She hurriedly came over to take a look. When she saw it, she was stunned and opened her Facebook in a panic...

Schmidt, who had just finished a meeting at Google, picked up his coffee and clicked on the notification that had been flashing on his computer. Immediately, there was a "pop" sound, and all the coffee he had just drank sprayed on the computer. He didn't care about the splash. He wiped the monitor with a tissue in annoyance, and bent down to finish browsing the pushed news, "...Feng Yiping is involved in the Madoff fraud case... The House of Representatives Financial Committee has asked him to attend a hearing..."
He read it twice, and quickly searched on Google using a keyboard full of coffee stains. After browsing a few items, he turned his swivel chair to the window, looked at the green trees and blue sky outside, and slowly wiped his glasses. Come.
However, he quickly stood up, empty-handed, and hurried toward Page's office.
From a distance, he saw Page and Brin lying in front of the computer. He walked over and knocked on the door, "Did you see it too?"
Brin looked up and smiled, "Feng did such a thing,"
"Yes," Schmidt agreed, "Feng also did something like this, and now Facebook and Twitter are pushing news related to it,"
Page put away the mouse and glanced at Brin, somewhat seriously.
Both Facebook and Twitter are pushing it, so why doesn’t Feng tell us?
Feng Yiping had never thought of saying hello to the two of them about this matter. It was important to remain objective. He didn't want to embarrass the two of them and bring pressure to them.
Page quickly thought of this and sighed, such a thing is indeed... but he immediately gave Brin a wink.
Of course Schmidt saw their interaction and sighed, alas, their relationship is really unbreakable.
"Do we need to make a statement?" he asked.
"What statement was made?" Brin said. "Do you think Feng did something wrong?"
…………
In Cupertino, Jobs, who was busy at work, picked up the phone impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"Laurena is on the line," the secretary said.
Jobs looked at the time. What was going on at this time? He glanced out the window and found that everyone was a little agitated.
"Hi," he said to his wife, thinking angrily, what was going on outside?
"Steve," Laurene said excitedly, "check the news,"
"What's wrong?"
"Feng was involved in Madoff's fraud case,"
Jobs jerked his body up, his knees hitting the desk, "What? What did you say?"
"You'll know when you see it," Laurene said, "but don't worry, he should be fine,"
What was going on?
Jobs also Googled on the computer and saw the very eye-catching news on the top, "Big Scammer Madoff Invests $5 Billion in Feng Yiping..."
At first he was annoyed and surprised, but he couldn't help laughing.
What is this? The old liar was deceived by the young liar?
Speaking of which, this doesn't seem surprising, because as long as he wants, he can even eat me, not to mention you, a Wall Street guy.
As for the relevant hearing, he was not worried at all, "Have you contacted him?"
"I just talked to Huang on the phone," Laurene said, "Feng is about to fly over from China,"
Jobs browsed a similar news, "You don't have to worry about him,"
He was very sure that the guy must have made a comprehensive arrangement for this matter, otherwise, if Google didn't say it, would his Facebook and Twitter be so active in pushing relevant news?
No, his arrangement should not only make himself have no problems, he must also want to use this matter to gain benefits for himself!
He was very sure that the guy who seemed to care about charity and Africa like Bill Gates would not be involved in such troubles if he had no ulterior motives.
So, what did he want?
…………
In the Amazon near Lake Tuanjie in Seattle, Bezos was also reading the relevant news. Like Jobs, he laughed as he read, "Do you want to be a modern Robin Hood?"
Not far from him, Gates and Ballmer were also talking about this issue on the phone...
At this time, it can be said that the whole United States was digging up this new melon that suddenly broke out, so much so that Evan Williams on Twitter ran to the technical department to work. They didn't expect that the boss might paralyze the website after the Madoff fraud case just caused it to crash.
As the new top leader of Yahoo, Masayoshi Son was also paying attention to the news in real time.
He didn't have as many concerns as Page and Brin. Because of his involvement, Yahoo, the most popular news website in the United States, reported on this matter in a very unique way, all focusing on Feng Yiping asking Madoff to invest in him, and even had news with the title "The Man Who Scammed Madoff".
He hoped that by doing so, he could make Feng Yiping more popular than Madoff, but he regretfully discovered that it was really difficult to do so. Search engines, especially social networking sites, have become the first choice for many people to get news because of the popularity of smartphones.
However, looking at the highlights of the relevant news pushed on Facebook and Twitter, he just wanted to say, "Hypocrisy!"
Helping to preserve the funds of the defrauded? Can you have some shame?
Also, Google, you claim to "do no evil" and be objective and neutral, so how come the top-ranked news in the search results are all the same as those pushed on Facebook and Twitter?
It's also hypocritical!

Early in the morning of February 12, everyone at Coin Star, including Merbuck, was ready to welcome the expected booming business.
In the United States, February 12 is Lincoln's birthday, also known as "Coin Throwing Day".
Mainly those who are usually stingy with money will take out all the coins they have collected and buy a lottery ticket, a can of Coke, or a piece of peanut candy to reward themselves.
Sure enough, from the beginning of the morning, the statistics showed that the exchange amount in the same period this year exceeded 50% of last year. I don’t know whether everyone turned out all the coins in the corners because of the tight money, or they were stimulated by the "more than 60 billion US dollars" and "5 billion US dollars", so they collected all the change and prepared to buy a few more lottery tickets to try their luck.
And this morning, FBI Director Miller met with the president again. Today, the president did not invite him to breakfast, but just asked about another case after reading the briefing.
So, after returning to the FBI headquarters not far from the White House, he quickly held a press conference, and then Williams was woken up from his sleep again. The technical department helplessly told him that the boss did not paralyze the website yesterday, but today, it is likely to be paralyzed again...
