Chapter 644 Support From the Mayor of New York

On the last working day before the Thanksgiving holiday, in front of the main building of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, a convoy of several police cars and several black Chevrolet Saabs drove up.

The uniformed policemen who got out of the car first, and the security personnel in black suits quickly controlled the scene. After that, they will resign at the end of the year. The support was not high at first, because of extramarital affairs and divorce. New York Mayor Giuliani, who has won wide acclaim for his performance in the movie, got out of the car with a blank expression, took several officials, and walked towards Buchanan and others standing in front of the door.

"Hi Rudy," Buchanan said, taking his hand, "this way please,"

Giuliani looked up at the sky over there. It turned out that the two tall buildings were naturally invisible, and he felt that the skyline was vacant. "How is it going?"

"It's not bad. These days, 30 local sub-stations have been established,"

After two months of trial operation and two months of publicity, on the eve of Thanksgiving, NEXTDOOR officially began to promote in San Francisco and New York, the east and west cities.

I have to say that it registers users as a family unit, and it focuses on authenticity, privacy, and security, which really fits the current moment.

After 9/11, the proud American people discovered that there may be many terrorists with different ambitions hidden around them. This kind of panic has added a very useful boost to the promotion of NEXTDOOR.

Various government agencies in the United States, especially those related to security, also welcome such websites. Thanks to Buchanan's efforts, 23 related agencies have already entered the website.

At the same time, thanks to his efforts, the New York City government, where the 911 incident took place, is very supportive of the launch of this website, which is why the Mayor of New York visited today.

However, these newly formed teams, with wages that may be lower than before, burst out with more enthusiasm than before, and actively invested in the promotion work.

This is also very understandable. In Silicon Valley, several companies go bankrupt every day. In such a difficult world, it is really rare to invest huge sums of money in the Internet field.

After 9/11, the American economy was even less optimistic.

Before 9/11, the U.S. economy was in the first stage of decline, mainly due to the bursting of the Internet bubble, which led to the decline of the technology industry, but the impact on consumers and consumer confidence was not too great.

After 911, more and more statistics show that consumption has begun to be affected. For an economy like the United States, which is mainly driven by consumption, this impact is simply fatal. Therefore, the current economic downturn in the United States, It has fully entered the stage of deepening.

Most residents in the United States consume in advance, unlike our common people who are always saving for the future. Even if they are unemployed for a quarter to half a year, it is not a big problem, but they can't do it.

"More than 30 communities, not bad," Giuliani said with a smile.

"Now the community that applies to build this website every day, averages in double digits or above,"

Buchanan knew that with the scale of New York City, 30 sub-stations are really nothing, but looking at the growth rate and the total number of applications, you will understand that this is a very popular website.

After sitting at the table, knowing the features of the website in detail, and actually operating it a few times, Giuliani personally thinks that this website is really okay.

"The website is good!" He boasted, "Since there are so many communities applying, why is the promotion situation not ideal?"

"It is mainly affected by restrictions and lack of manpower," Buchanan said. "The welcome of everyone to this website is beyond our expectations, but support staff will arrive soon," said Buchanan.

"That's good," Giuliani nodded, "I think so, in order to let more residents know about this website, we can help you promote it on the government website,"

"Thank you Rudy, serving the community is what our company is all about,"

... ... ...

At such a moment, the mayor of New York holds a press conference, which, like the Pentagon press conference, is sought after by many journalists.

The lobby of the building and the podium were filled with microphones. As soon as Giuliani appeared with a smile, the flash lights lit up one after another. To the staff who are still on site, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks,"

"Mr. Mayor, do you have any new news to disclose about the aftermath?" A reporter who was called out asked loudly.

"In terms of follow-up, I have no new information to disclose. I just want to assure you that the conspiracy of extremists will never succeed! I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, a building will soon stand on the original site of the World Trade Center." , a modern building that is taller than the original building,"

"So the mayor is here today to inspect the security measures at Rockefeller Center?" asked the second reporter.

"I am here today because it is related to safety, and the safety of all community residents," Giuliani said sonorously, "Our company in Silicon Valley has launched a new website, which is a website worthy of everyone's welcome. A site that we heavily promote in New York City,"

He briefly introduced the situation of NEXTDOOR, "This website can enhance the relationship between the government and the general public, starting from knowing your neighbors, helping people understand the basic situation of the community, various social service programs and community activities, helping us Build a more harmonious and safe community.

At the same time, it can help every registered family know the situation around them in time when major disasters and emergencies occur.

Therefore, the New York City government and I personally agree to vigorously promote this website,"

If the remaining tenure is still long, and there is no unlucky encounter with 911, and Buchanan does his work again, Giuliani will not praise a company's website so bluntly in front of reporters.

However, who told him that his term of office was only a few months, and he happened to encounter such bad luck?

... ... ...

Stanford University, on the lawn.

Feng Yiping sat down on the grass, looked at the news in the newspaper in his hand, and said to Huang Jingping, who rested her head on her lap, "Buchanan's work is very effective!"

Huang Jingping built a pergola with her hands to cover her eyes, "That is to say, our second website is going well?"

"That was quite smooth," Feng Yiping said happily. According to this trend, the construction of sub-stations across the United States will increase exponentially.

Li Jialun was driving his own Porsche, looking at these classmates on the grass leisurely, and suddenly, he saw Feng Yiping and their pair.

As if nothing happened, he came over to greet Feng Yiping, "Yiping, on Thanksgiving Day, the Overseas Students Association organized a large gathering. Do you two want to come together?"

"I'm sorry, we have an arrangement, you know, the company has organized activities," Feng Yiping refused without hesitation.

"Oh, then I wish you a happy holiday!" Li Jialun didn't seem to care, "Jingping, take care of yourself too,"

"thanks,"

The first impression is really very important. On the day of reporting, Li Jialun's words and deeds left an unsatisfactory impression on Huang Jingping. Now no matter what he says or does, Huang Jingping still doesn't like him very much.

Watching Li Jialun's car drive away, Huang Jingping said, "I don't like him,"

This is also the first time she has made it clear that she doesn't like someone, "Why?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling. This person seems to be the type who speaks honey and has a sword in his belly," Huang Jingping said.

"I think so too,"

Therefore, Feng Yiping deliberately kept a distance from Li Jialun.
