Chapter 325 Continuing the Disaster "Fortune"
phone-reading
"Our government is not even as good as a private company in terms of action. F2F foresees the problem, takes measures, and has achieved impressive humanitarian results. But the government and the police force are slow, wrong, and unfounded. It’s really embarrassing.”
The headline of the "Washington Post" reported that Hurricane Katrina has caused more than 1,000 deaths and hundreds of missing people. As the most destructive hurricane in 80 years, it has attracted no less attention than 9/11. The discussion was multifaceted. Humanitarians paid attention to injustices such as frequent robberies during the hurricane. Oppositionists fully criticized the bewilderment and inaction of government departments, and expressed shock at the disrepair of the levee. Ordinary people paid attention to the reconstruction work of New Orleans, and the people of New Orleans decided to leave here. In just a few years, more than half of New Orleanians chose to leave the city, reducing from more than 800,000 to more than 300,000. The disaster left them with lingering fears.
This also includes Nancy and his family, luckily their contingency stockpile helped them wait until rescue groups - all thanks to Nancy's loss of contact at the end, she was unable to respond to calls to contact her in F2F due to a power outage A friend and a local rescuer, when F2F launched the emergency rescue platform, her classmate, Rui Xi, who lived in one of the few safe areas in Orleans, put Nancy’s address on the platform, and soon their family Received rescue and became the first person to be rescued.
"Nancy was so touched by everyone's concern, she's already got help, their home was basically flooded, but luckily their emergency stockpiles helped them get through until the rescue team arrived, and now they're both in the Super Bowl The stadium. She asked me to give them a special thank you to Daniel, if it wasn't for Daniel, they wouldn't have been helped so quickly."
The classmate who submitted Nancy's home address published a thank you letter on her behalf.
The "Post" reporter did not miss this brief speech, among numerous reports. The Post's report through Nancy's story is particularly cordial, a living example that fully and irrefutably demonstrates the great power of F2F in this disaster.
The "Post" sorted out the successive actions of Daniel and F2F, and finally did not forget to make a small advertisement for F2F's emergency rescue platform.
"On F2F's emergency rescue platform, there are currently nearly 800 addresses registered, and some of them are marked as 'rescued'. Some are grayed out, which means that those people have been determined to have suffered misfortune. But the most are 'Missing' status. If your friends or relatives are in a state of being unreachable. You can follow the F2F #Katrina护起# homepage, where tens of thousands of people are providing information for the missing, as long as they get the information, they will submit To F2F, after confirmation, they will release the news to everyone as soon as possible, God bless America and New Orleans.”
The hurricane has passed, and the head of FEMA, Michael Brown, faces blame from almost the entire United States. He is destined to be responsible for it soon. Journalists circled around him like flies chasing stinky flies,
He always wants to get some information from him. After a short "humanitarian" moment, the media began to play their own nature. This is quite consistent with stock market speculators, and the media is also the beneficiary of the disaster.
They reported a lot of sensational news.
New Orleans police officer commits suicide due to stress.
Hundreds of government aid workers resigned.
There is a frenzy of population exodus from the city.
Robbery, shootings, and violent crimes plagued the city.
Government officials are corrupt.
The media puts their sense of smell at the most sensitive stage, and will not miss any trouble. Daniel Sandler. F2F CEO Mark Vaughn, COO Sheryl Sandberg, and of course Michael Brown, the hapless and incompetent administrator.
"Michael, will you resign?"
"How do you respond to the outside world's suspicion that the real death toll has been concealed?"
"Michael..."
On Michael Brown's way to his office. They were surrounded by the reporters who had squatted here early in the morning. He looked cold and serious, and he didn't say a word. The security personnel protected him and walked forward. Amidst the noisy questioning, the reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" suddenly asked.
"There are sources that the authorities even got the waiting list from the F2F company. And have been relying on their information for quite some time, yes?"
The audience was silent.
Brown's footsteps also paused, but in the end he didn't say anything. He walked into the gate with his head covered, and the security personnel stopped the reporter outside.
At this time, reporters from other newspapers quickly turned to look at the reporter from the Los Angeles Times just now.
"Hey, Hall, do you have any news? Is your question true?"
"It must be true, oh my god, the whole of New Orleans fell into anarchy on September 1st, and the emergency response agency must have no access to information, only through F2F, so they can start rescue operations in the first place. "A reporter who followed up the news all the way quickly contacted all kinds of clues.
The "Los Angeles Times" made this exclusive news public, obviously not very willing to challenge the already criticized US government alone at this time.
But once the situation expands, the influence will be multiplied-this is the purpose of the "Times". It is impossible to say that they will be afraid. They just chose a way that is most beneficial to them to manipulate the news. .
...
"They want F2F to come out and clarify."
"Let's deny the news?"
Daniel talked with Mark on the phone at home in Los Angeles. I have to say that the biggest beneficiary of Hurricane Katrina this time is F2F. Into the media and interviewers, so at the peak moment, F2F has almost become the largest source of news - except for aerial photography, but aerial photography has no way to obtain three-dimensional news. Similar to Nancy's family and Nancy's friends, Ruixi has been providing on-the-ground news, which basically only appears in F2F and MB.
When the three major U.S. stock markets fell across the board, the stock price of MB rose sharply. This is easy to understand. It is impossible for funds to stay in the account. MB is worth investing in, which will push up its demand. If F2F is not listed, I am afraid there will be a more terrifying rise. As the social media with the largest number of users, the potential of F2F has been recognized. MB has been surpassed by F2F in the number of users, and its development potential has been questioned. The stock price has been tepid some time ago. This time’s contact performance on Hurricane Katrina allowed it to win the trust of investors again. It even surpassed F2F in terms of timely information and flat delivery. As the birthplace of event attention, MB should become the best platform for the public to obtain information.
Still, MB has opened up new attractions of its own - investors now believe it will gain more attention and power of opinion.
Google Maps has also benefited a lot, and this feature, which was launched less than half a year ago, has gained a lot of fame.
"No, they know that we will never agree, what's more, there is no way to hide this kind of thing." Mark denied, "Michael will definitely step down, and the rescue operation will be taken over by a coast guard lieutenant general. In the statement, we can try our best to push the mistakes to Michael Brown, so as to provide some convenience for the next work."
"Aha."
Daniel had to observe a second of silence for the director, obviously, he had become an outcast.
"The number of North American users of F2F has exceeded 100 million, right?"
"No, it should be fine in September."
"Hold a press conference with 100 million users, then respond to it, and do what they say."
Bush will serve as president for another three years, so there is no need for F2F to confront him now. The rhetoric is what the rhetoric is.
...
Before returning to Berkeley, negotiations between F2F, MB, and Google on the Android company officially began.
The three parties spent 50 million yuan to completely acquire Andy Rubin's company, but the specific share needs to be negotiated by multiple parties. The main contradiction is whether the joint shares of F2F and MB can exceed 50%. Google and Plutos are MB shareholder, but Plutos has a controlling stake. Once the sum of the two parties exceeds 50%, in other words, Android will be controlled by Plutos, which is impossible for Google to agree to.
In fact, Daniel never thought that Google would agree.
However, letting Google occupy a controlling position is not reassuring in itself. In fact, Android has the opportunity to compete with Apple, but Google obviously did not pay enough attention to this department, or did not see the huge value of Android in the field of smartphones. They even waited until Apple launched the milestone iphone3G mobile phone, and then hurriedly launched an Android phone from HTC, but there was no resistance at all.
The mobile phone alliance formed by Google is also full of loopholes. In order to resist Apple's siege in the field of smartphones, the hastily formed alliance has no standards, no rules, and no restrictions. A garden to speak of.
Daniel must change this situation.
In the end, both parties may take a step back and divide the shares equally, but it is most appropriate to ask for the appointment of a person in charge with basic independent disposal rights - Andy Rubin himself, in fact, this is the best for him solution, he can retain maximum control over the company. However, the final result still needs to wait for the results of the negotiations. In fact, if Google insists, it is not completely unacceptable for Plutos to occupy less than 50% of the shares, but some memos are needed to limit the behavior of the controlling shareholder.
