Chapter 3216 A Few Stinky Fish
Zhou Buqi was not in the mood to eat.

His solemn expression made several Estar executives present look at each other in bewilderment.

I don’t know what big thing happened.

This is really a big deal.

Because this is related to the living environment of Chinese workers in Silicon Valley. If it is not handled properly, this group will be treated with indifference and exclusion by the entire industry. It's really like a few rotten fish spoiling the entire industry.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Are you checking them all?"

"Yes, most large companies have taken action, and the coverage is very wide." Tang Binchen added, "Ziweixing International has also taken action. We have also conducted self-inspection and confirmed that there are at least 40 participants. The HR department is holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with it."

Zhou Buqi said: "This matter is only serious in nature, but in fact, most of the participants have no bad intentions at all. They just want to use the Banmi platform to make some extra money."

“But they are selling the company’s resources.”

"Ah."

"The initial decision is to fire him."

"They must be dealt with seriously to serve as a warning to others." Zhou Buqi would never show mercy when faced with such a matter. "By the way, what are the backgrounds of these 40-plus people? Have you investigated them?"

Tang Binchen sighed, "What kind of background does he have? This little extra income is just a few dollars. It's only $100 per person. If I lead a tour group of 10 people, I can only make $1000. Which rich person would take risks for such a small amount of money?"

This was similar to Zhou Buqi's guess, "Are they all new young employees?"

Tang Binchen said: "Well, they are all international students from China."

Zhou Buqi immediately understood the logic behind this. "They are all children from ordinary families. They spent a lot of money studying abroad. Now that they have finally found a job, they must want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible."

Tang Binchen said: "Yes, that's the people. Those Chinese who have obtained American citizenship will not participate in these things. Speaking of which, it's quite pitiful. This is not entirely their fault. It is the startup company Banmi that provides them with a platform to make mistakes."

A good environment can turn a bad person into a good person.

A bad environment can turn a good person into a bad person.

These international students are actually very poor when they just graduate from school, and they may even have a lot of student loans. They have a great need to make money. If they don't have a companion, they may just work quietly and won't make such mistakes.

The emergence of Kebanmi created an opportunity for them to earn gray income.

Those young international students who have just graduated from school obviously do not realize the seriousness of the matter. They just think that there is no harm in making money... It is easy for them to lose the big picture for the small.

Zhou Buqi said: "These people were picked out, and they don't have any American identity. They just graduated from school not long ago, so it should be difficult for them to find jobs in Silicon Valley."

Tang Binchen agreed. "It's as it should be. This matter has become so serious that half of Silicon Valley has taken action. These people should be put on the recruitment blacklist. At least no one in the big companies in Silicon Valley can get in."

"Let's go back home."

"That's right. If they want to work in a large Internet company, they basically have no choice but to return to China. After returning to China, these negative resumes will be cleared, and only the halo of being a returnee will remain. Maybe they can do well."

"But you have to be on guard against this! Contact all parties involved and be cautious during this period!"

"Guard against what?"

Tang Binchen didn't understand what he meant. Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "We are afraid that some people will do something desperate. We believe that most people are victims of the Banmi incident and they need sympathy. But there must be some bad people here. Once they realize that they can't make it in Silicon Valley, they may want to make a fortune before returning to China!"

"what?"

Tang Binchen opened his eyes wide and finally understood what he meant.

In fact, quite a few people have appeared in China in the past two years.

They are all returnees.

They all used to work in large Internet companies in Silicon Valley, then suddenly resigned and returned to China to start their own businesses. They quickly came up with some good projects that impressed the industry, and then received massive amounts of funding from investors or state agencies.

For example, if a person works at Google Docs and participates in some of the most cutting-edge cloud storage technologies in the industry, and after returning to China, he or she quickly launches a technologically advanced cloud storage solution that may be more advanced than Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud, it will be highly favored.

Actually, it was stolen from Google.

There are many such things.

At first glance, it may not be a bad thing, after all, it makes domestic technology stronger... But in fact, it is not the case at all. Internet technology is not a hard-core field like chips and communications. The Internet is a big copycat in the world, and you don’t even need to copy it. In a few years, people will open source it for you to use for free.

If this approach is used in some areas such as communications and chips, it can actually promote the development of the industry.

If the Internet industry does this, it will basically have a negative effect. Not only will it fail to produce any actual results, it will also waste a large amount of investors' and national funds' money, and create one investment disaster after another.

The main reason is that Internet technology is changing too fast.

Even if Google has excellent technology and its cloud storage technology is very advanced... if you copy the latest technology, you will not have the ability to optimize, improve and continuously upgrade it. Once the research and development stagnates, you will fall behind immediately.

In two or three years, even purely domestically produced products will be able to quickly surpass them.

Google's strength does not lie in the fact that they now have the world's top Internet technology, but in the fact that they can maintain this leading technological advantage for a long time in the future. Even if you own Google's present, you cannot own Google's future.

Without a future, there is no potential for further growth.

In a few years, when Google has a better technical solution, it will open source the current solution to the world, and anyone can use it. The things you stole back with great difficulty and huge risks will become free goods on the street.

The entrepreneurial project that was considered a star in the industry naturally failed.

If similar incidents occur more frequently, it will not only cause huge losses to the domestic investment industry and national funds, but will also make the living environment of many Chinese employees in Silicon Valley become harsh, and even affect the country's image.

Zhou Buqi said: "In the past two years, the domestic investment industry was very hot, and US dollar funds also entered in large numbers, discovering many surprising projects. But this year, it's not so good anymore. No US dollar funds are coming, and there are already signs of a capital winter. A very important reason is that there are too many incredible bad projects. They look amazing and good, but after getting financing, they quickly collapse."

Tang Binchen felt a chill down his spine. He had never really thought about this before, so he said, "Okay, I'll deal with this in a moment. You're right. We should really prevent some people from jumping off the wall out of desperation. I've heard some very bad things before. Some international students sold everything in their rented houses before returning home, and then applied for various private loans, and even borrowed a lot of money from many foreign friends. After a thorough search, they returned home and disappeared without a trace."

"Well, we need to be vigilant and inform other companies."

This is what Zhou Buqi hates the most. It's really a few bad fish that spoil the whole industry. You just go back to China, but what about the other Chinese people who are still working in Silicon Valley? You did something wrong, and you let them bear the blame? It's so shameful.

Tang Binchen said coldly: "The current Banmi also has this mentality!"

"Why doesn't Banmi take responsibility?" Zhou Buqi was very angry. "After causing such a big commotion and such negative news, why don't you quickly stop the company's travel business and apologize?"

Tang Binchen said: "I am still very proud of myself now!"
