It has been almost five years since Google established the company in 1997. With the development of Google, it has become stronger and stronger. Recently, the number of employees in the company has reached three

There are more than 10,000 people, which is far more than the situation of Google in the previous life.

Many of these people come from various branches and subsidiaries acquired by Kaos. For example, the New York Times Group has more than 3,000 employees.

Coupled with the various independent laboratories, it can be said that today's Google employees have already spread all over the world.

But even so, as the New York headquarters of the group company, the number of staff here is still maintained at about 7,000. It occupies a large industrial park and spreads out with the company headquarters as the center. There are also prosperous commercial and real estate circles nearby.

Almost all of them revolve around Google and serve local employees here.

The dense flow of people commuting to and from get off work every day reveals Google's influence in New York, a city with a population of 8 million.

In recent years, Google has been inseparable from the New York City Councilor or Mayoral elections. Although it does not play a decisive role, it still plays a decisive role in it.

After all, Google's high welfare policy has also created more middle class here, and the middle class is the main force in the United States.

At the same time, because of Kaos's alternative affection and care for the Chinese, the number of Chinese Americans in Google has remained within a certain range, which has also indirectly affected the number of Chinese in New York, especially in the Google area.

, Walking in the streets and alleys, you can occasionally hear some exchanges in Chinese from time to time.

This also makes Kaos often feel that his rebirth was not in vain. After all, he has brought some extraordinary changes to the world, although the changes are very small.

"It's not good for you to do this. I have recently heard from some people who have opinions about the number of Chinese people in our company."

Carson stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dense crowd of people downstairs outside the window, and said to Kaos with a sigh.

Although he does not have the problem of color discrimination, such people are inevitable in this society. Kaos's preferential treatment of Chinese people naturally attracted some people's attention, especially at the banquet he attended recently, someone has already raised the issue with him

Complaints about this.

"So what? It's just a mosquito buzzing in our ears. What can we do?"

Raising the wine glass in his hand, Kaos took a sip and then shook his head, not really paying attention to what Carson said.

Although he preferentially treats his Chinese compatriots in some aspects, Kaos is also very self-aware and controls everything he does to a certain extent. He does not try to overthrow anything in the United States, and all he does are small and innocuous actions.

Now that he has become powerful, those who put forward such opinions only dare to make a few useless complaints in front of Carson.

At least in Kaos's ears, such words have never appeared. This is the best proof.

"Compared with these, what I am more concerned about is how many companies I heard are competing with our Facebook?"

Shaking his head and throwing these trivial matters behind him, Kaos turned around and asked Carson, his expression very cautious.

"There are so many companies, but don't worry, it won't affect anything. They are far behind us."

Carson is very confident about this kind of thing. The development and promotion of the Internet, in addition to the function and quality of the software itself, are also a competition for money.

In these two aspects, both are Google's strengths, especially the beauty pageant proposed by Kaos, which has made Facebook very popular now and has become a hot topic in American society and campuses.

No matter how you look at the comparison between the two sides, Carson doesn't think it's possible to lose.

"Well, I can rest assured that you can handle things. I just want to remind you that when it comes to business competitions, you must do your best and don't take it lightly."

Gu Li

After taking another sip of wine, Kaos glanced at the other party and reminded him again.

Internet companies borrow the power of traffic to rise at an eye-popping speed, but when problems arise, they go bankrupt at an alarming rate.

Naturally, there is no room for Kaos to be careless to prevent a dark horse from overtaking from other tracks.

The emergence of Weishi in later generations is a good example. It directly took Facebook's number one position in the world's social software in one fell swoop, posing a great threat to Facebook.

Later, Zuckerberg led Facebook to the path of the metaverse, and it was probably due to this reason. After all, for software technology companies, if they do not adapt after being abandoned by the market, they are waiting to die.

Thinking like this, Kaos turned around and sat back on the office chair, touching his forehead with his fingers, showing a little tiredness.

“Are you still worried about Apple?”

Carson also turned around, sat in front of Kaos, frowned and asked, Kaos was entirely responsible for Apple's acquisition, and Kaos's tired look now can only be attributed to Apple.

What's the problem?

"Of course, but I will take care of these things. You can be mainly responsible for Facebook."

Kaos nodded to Carson without any concealment. Kaos was relieved to have acquired Apple.

But after getting to know the other party's technical strength, and roughly deducing the technical conditions that would be required to achieve the first-generation Apple mobile phone in the future, I started to have some headaches again.

In particular, some of the technologies have actually been developed and controlled by some companies, which makes Kaos feel happy but also very headache.

Because this means that there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on research and development in the vast sea of ​​science and technology, and various research and development failures may occur.

But at the same time, this also means that Kaos needs to constantly acquire external companies, acquire companies that have the technology it needs, one by one, or buy the patents it needs from the other party.

The complexity of the acquisition work is enough to give Kaos a headache. After all, the acquisition of any company is a small local war.

And these companies that can be easily acquired will probably be swept into the garbage dump after they have mined the other party's technology, waiting to have their companies written off.

It can be said that such a set of procedures will cost a huge amount of money.

Thinking about it like this, Kaos felt a little lucky that he had decided to acquire Apple with Google.

Otherwise, every penny you need to spend now needs to come from your own wallet.

But having Google behind it all the time is not a long-term solution. The research and development of smartphones may take three or four years.

During this period of time, there is only no way in or out, which is likely to cause dissatisfaction on the board of directors. Even if Kaos occupies the position of a major shareholder, you still need to pay attention to the impact.

The solution is actually very simple in Kaos' view, which is to install the iPod into Apple and repackage it for sale.

In this way, I can intervene and buy some of Apple's stocks again without spending too much money.
