I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Boss Jiang, just replace him? Will it have too big of an impact?"

In fact, Chen Peng doesn’t care that much about the fine from India. India was just making trouble to get Haijing to invest.

This country's behavior is usually strange, and now this unclear fine has no clear meaning.

It is impossible for Haijing to really pay the fine, but he will subconsciously tend to increase his investment in India.

After all, India is the country with the largest number of Whale users worldwide.

He also roughly understood what Mr. Jiang meant on the phone and understood that Mr. Jiang did not like Yin Guo.

Even on this matter which was not a big deal, Chen Peng still didn't quite understand and agree with it.

"If you accept the punishment for this kind of thing, or let the Indian government lead you by the nose, Haijing will have to pay a greater cost in the future."

"I had anticipated these things when I thought you would take over the overseas Whale platform."

"You have to understand why I never interfere in Whale's executive personnel and allow elites from all over the world to become executives."

Jiang Hao's tone on the phone became increasingly intense, and his attitude became increasingly clear.

Similarly, Chen Peng immediately realized what Jiang Hao had told him before he flew abroad.

Back then, President Jiang delegated all power of Whale Company to the two of them, except for him and Su Qingqing in charge of finance.

Currently, the scale of the Whale platform is even larger than that of the domestic Haijing.

4.7 million registered users, 4100 million daily active users, and 1.8 million monthly active users.

Moreover, the platform's various business developments are still growing, at a faster pace than in China.

Among Whale's current internal executives, i.e. 19 people at the director level and above, there are 7 Indian executives, 5 from the United States, Russia, France, Britain and other countries.

On the other hand, there are only two Chinese people, and it can be said that Jiang Hao’s attitude is very clear.

Could it be that Whale is still unable to recruit talent now?

These executives, whose salaries far exceed those in China, are the ones that Whale has given up.

If these Indian executives just take the money and do nothing, or even help India put pressure on Haijing, this itself is a matter of principle.

Chen Peng was startled at this moment and his face immediately became serious.

He has completely understood Jiang Hao's meaning and the position he represents, and he must stand on the same side as Mr. Jiang.

No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, there is absolutely no need to hold back unless the company's senior executives are on Haijing's side.

"Boss Jiang, I understand. I will have a meeting with several Indian executives of the company tomorrow morning!"

As Chen Peng was speaking, another surprising idea came to his mind.

That was a few years ago, when the Whale branch was just established, President Jiang must have anticipated this situation.

Chen Peng himself doesn't really believe in the phrase "take one step at a time and see the next steps".

After all, the times and society are changing too fast, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

At most, it means that you are mentally prepared, and when good or bad things happen, you will be more mentally prepared and have coping measures.

He himself now serves as CEO of Whale, which is also something he could never have dreamed of in the early years.

But for the first time, Chen Peng was in awe of his old leader, Jiang Hao. He really believed that Jiang Hao had a clear and long-term vision and could see many steps ahead!

"Well, I need these Indian executives to speak up and coordinate with their domestic governments."

"You still have a lot to do. Some of the company's personnel information can be disclosed appropriately."

"Whether it is senior executives, mid-level managers, or grassroots employees, some information ratio data."

"If I'm guessing correctly, Indian employees should be the largest number in the company, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Peng's voice soon came again.

“Yes, Indian employees currently make up the largest proportion.”

"As for the reason... you should be able to guess it. Sometimes I can't take care of it. Even Whale's current human resources director is the Indian executive Simani."

Speaking of this, Chen Peng himself felt a little embarrassed.

The company is currently headquartered in Silicon Valley, and the internal situation of the company is almost exactly the same as other Internet companies in Silicon Valley.

It is occupied by Indians. He and Su Qingqing have a special status in the company and can decide whether senior executives stay or go.

But they only have so many people to recruit middle and low-level and ordinary employees. Most of the earliest people who came to Whale have returned to their home countries, and not many remain at Whale.

In addition, there is the traditional herd mentality of Indians and the outstanding development of computer education in India.

This is the case in almost all Silicon Valley companies.

There is only one thing that all Silicon Valley companies agree on, and that is the board of directors.

In other words, the ownership of the company, including the decision-making power on the general direction, is still in the hands of the investors behind the scenes and has nothing to do with Indians.

"You have to take this matter seriously and don't just treat it as an Indian matter."

"Some of the small actions in San Francisco right now are actually no different from those in India."

"If the US imposes sanctions at that time, you must be prepared."

Following Jiang Hao's train of thought, Chen Peng couldn't help but become nervous in the middle of the night.

"Boss Jiang, if the United States also imposes sanctions, how should I respond?"

He felt that the matter was difficult just by thinking about it. The United States was not India. If the United States really found an excuse to impose tough sanctions, he would have no way to deal with it.

"Don't forget! What company are we Whale!?"

"Entertainment and media company. I originally asked the company to keep a low profile and try not to attract attention."

"Now that you've attracted attention, don't hold back. The size of your company can be used to flex its muscles."

"Regarding India's sanctions, please guide public opinion in your short video. Got it?"

Whale’s trump card has always been there, and that is public opinion.

With Whale’s current daily and monthly active users, it has become a major global media voice channel.

In other words, Whale can indeed choose what many people around the world want to see and hear.

Whale can change its tone and speak out, as long as it is big enough, any unwarranted sanctions will not last long.

It can even allow users to spontaneously protest against some obviously unfair decisions because of Haijing.

"Boss Jiang, I understand."

"This is something I didn't think about."

...

"You should take a rest first. Things have just begun. You need to be prepared."

"As long as we can survive this wave, whether it is the D round of financing or the listing, Haijing will be able to reap greater rewards."

Unlike Totoro, which had a long and prosperous development until it went public, Haijing still had to go through setbacks in its development.

Especially large multinational companies of this type have suffered a lot of unfair treatment internationally.

It all depends on who has a stronger country behind them, who has stronger capital behind them, and who has more sophisticated response measures.

Looking back, these problems are just minor difficulties if we want to truly become a large international company.
