    There was a Murdoch before him, who was born in Melbourne, Australia.  ¡Ý¡Ý, His father ran a small local newspaper, the Adelaide News. In 1953, Murdoch took over the newspaper left by his father.  Perhaps influenced by his father's newspaper business, Murdoch understood readers' psychology well and was willing to cater to their needs. He quickly fell in love with this career, and at the same time, his ambition gradually became apparent.  In 1960, Murdoch bought the "Sydney Daily Mirror" and "Sydney Daily News" and tried to get involved in the television media market.  In 1964, Murdoch founded Australia's first national newspaper, The Australian.  Soon, Murdoch was unwilling to limit his development to Australia. At the same time that he was leaving Australia, a global media empire was quietly rising, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent establishment of the "Sky Empire" step by step.  In 1980, Murdoch founded News Corporation, and then the group began expansionary acquisitions. From acquiring equity interests in newspapers, magazines, book publishing, TV stations, and movies, etc., Murdoch's media empire has begun to take shape, covering almost all of the country.  Some areas of media.  News Corporation is already one of the largest and most international comprehensive media companies in the world. Its chairman is Rupert Murdoch himself, who also serves as CEO.  News Corporation currently owns more than 175 newspapers, including The Times, The Sun, The Australian, The New York Post and other world major newspapers.  His success is filled with various mergers and acquisitions.  Mergers and acquisitions have always been one of the important means of strategic development, and Murdoch has developed it to the extreme.  Especially in the past decade or so, News Corporation has been aggressively engaging in acquisitions and mergers.  But he was at the happiest time in his life.  1985.  He was forced to become an American citizen.  Also this year.  The United States has introduced a news antitrust protection law.  The initial reason was that he acquired 50% of 20th Century Fox's shares and achieved a foreign news monopoly in the United States.  This makes Americans feel very uneasy.  What happened during this period is now unknown, but there is no doubt that Murdoch was eventually forced to become a U.S. citizen.  This can be seen from the fact that he still places the headquarters of News Corporation in his home country of Australia.  Chen Tiandu has been successful in the United States these years, but he never thought that he would have such a day.  Logically speaking, such a thing would not burn him.  It's a pity that he only worked for a few years.  The assets far exceed those of Murdoch.  The cause is Google.  Google is so popular that one year later, its stock has more than doubled compared to when it went public last year.  Chen Tiandu's personal assets have also climbed uncontrollably to US$40 billion.  Give him a few more years and he might become the richest man in the world.  This time, I finally touched some people¡¯s cheese.  "What, do you want to check Google's user registration information?" The call Chen Tiandu received was about this matter.  In line with the principle of keeping users confidential, this user information.  How can you just show it to others?  But after all, the target is forced, and Google cannot ignore it.  This time.  The role of Buffett, the god of stocks, is reflected in Google¡¯s shareholder who never sees the beginning or end of the company.  After the first coordinated effort, revealed by Google through a "transparency report", thousands of its users were targeted.  Starting this year, no more than 999 national security letters will be sent to Google every year, requiring the disclosure of user account information of no more than 2,000 to 3,000 users.  A national security letter is a request for information issued to facilitate a national security investigation by agents or other agencies within the executive branch of the U.S. government.  National security letters do not apply to ordinary criminal, civil or administrative investigations.  Under the U.S. Patriot Act, Google or other agencies must provide relevant information after receiving a National Security Letter if the government determines that the request is related to an investigation to combat international terrorism or covert intelligence activities.  ¡°National security letters¡± are a powerful tool because they do not require court approval and are subject to a gag order to prevent the recipient from disclosing information about the receipt of a ¡°national security letter¡± to others.  When investigating terrorist activity, agents themselves can send "national security letters" to credit agencies, Internet service providers or phone companies with only a supervisor's signature.  It is related to whether the user's privacy rights have been infringed, whether it is major or minor.  If it were in China, it wouldn't be a big deal at all. No one would dare to pursue it if the National Security Bureau investigates it.  But in a place like the United States, where human rights are paramount, it immediately aroused public opinion.  The outside world has been talking about this a lot, and major talk shows will not let go of this topic of widespread concern to celebrities.  For a time, Google fell into a vortex of public opinion that violated user privacy.  ¡°How to supervise this behavior and how to ensure that user information will not become a tool for profit?¡± ¡°It feels particularly bad, like stripping naked.¡±If your clothes are open to anyone to look at, how will you be able to access the Internet in the future?  ¡± At this time, Chen Tiandu had not realized that the biggest finger pointed at himself. Google feedback to users through its official blog: According to the provisions of the U.S. Electronic Communications Security Act, it can be required to provide the user¡¯s ¡°name, address, service usage, etc.  time and local or long-distance phone billing records," but it cannot be asked to provide information such as Gmail content, search queries, user IP addresses. Because the authorities are worried that the precise number will reveal information related to the case under investigation, they can only disclose it  Rough scope. But this is something that Google alone cannot handle. It was immediately revealed that Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, Apple, LinkedIn and other major Internet companies have all received the same treatment. So there is a dispute between the government and major technology companies.  The rights protection struggle between them began. Although the major Internet companies are openly fighting, they have the same chain of interests and stand on the same line. They jointly issued an open letter to the Bush administration, asking the US government to take the lead.  Make reforms to ensure government surveillance activities are clearly limited by law and subject to government oversight. ¡°The government¡¯s current rules violate the right to free speech.  The company wants the right to reveal more detailed data on user information requested by the U.S. government.  This is important to everyone who believes in the First Amendment.  We hope to be able to share the full transparency report.  ¡± It involves several large companies with assets of over 10 billion or 100 billion. The U.S. government also responded quickly and responded quickly. I thought that the matter would be over, but I didn¡¯t expect that the wave would come up again and again. I don¡¯t know where it came from.  The issue of the nationality of Chen Tiandu, the major shareholder of Google who holds more than 50% of the shares, has once again attracted public attention. ¡°He is the major shareholder of Google and he is of Chinese nationality, and Google is the largest Internet search company in the United States.  The number of user registrations has climbed to No. 1 in the United States.  With someone with such an international background running Google behind the scenes, does it mean that the information of Google users across the United States is unconditionally open to the Chinese government?  How can this reassure American netizens?  "The China threat theory has always been a hot topic in the United States. It is brought out every year in the presidential election. This time, triggered by the forced surveillance incident, Chen Tiandu once again stood at the forefront. And this time it was not in the entertainment section, but in the social section.  The front page of "The Washington Post" placed a huge red flag behind Chen Tiandu's photo. It is self-evident. Affected by this public opinion, Google's stock was once again turbulent.  Eric Schmidt, the new executive chairman of Google, teamed up with Eo Brin to issue a statement to the outside world, "Mr. Chen Tiandu has resigned as chairman of Google's board of directors and only retains a seat on the board of directors.  All Google user information is subject to the highest confidentiality standards and cannot be manipulated freely by a single shareholder.  Although this is a ridiculous statement, Mr. Chen Tiandu still took the initiative to make suggestions to Google: uphold the attitude of being responsible for users.  We will also strengthen the security protection of user data, so as to reassure the majority of Google users" I said a lot of official words. But the public opinion did not stop there. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense. Hatred of the rich is one of the most common forms of society.  Broadly speaking, especially in a country like the United States with a huge gap between rich and poor, "Why is it that Chen Tiandu, an outsider, can make a fortune of 40 billion US dollars, but they can only live on subsistence allowances? This is unfair.  .  " "This guy from the red country is basically a conspiracy of the Chinese government.  Is it true that he can rise so quickly without the help of the Chinese government?  " "Hey, keep your eyes open.  The eyes of the red country have penetrated deeply into the American people. Your every move is under the watchful eyes of others.  " "Chen Tiandu?  Are you still obsessed with him? He's just a Chinese.  Quickly recognize his true nature.  ¡± Even the talk show joked about giving ideas, ¡°If it were you, how would you face this whirlpool of public opinion.  Give up Google's increasingly huge share interests and reduce its holdings?  ""He must change his nationality. China does not recognize dual nationality.  He had to give up his Chinese nationality and change it to American nationality.  Because he not only owns Google, an information company, but also a really rapidly expanding ae wave ok social networking site, which is also one of the important Internet bases for netizens' information.  "A little-known public figure suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately became a breakthrough. It turned out that this public figure was actually a California congressman. Does such words from his mouth mean that the US government is also like this?  To be honest, no one can trust a foreigner to control the United States or even the world.A large Internet company.  This time it is really at the forefront of the storm, with overwhelming publicity and publicity, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no forces behind it.  This kind of public attack also made Chen Tiandu¡¯s friends sweat for him. If it were them.  I am afraid that even a huge wave can silence them and make them unable to stand up.  ¡°This is so relevant. It concerns the richest man in China and the rhetoric of Sino-US relations. Even Xinhua News Agency cannot sit still and follows a large number of reports.  The news spread back to China, causing an uproar.  Naturally, China supports Chen Tiandu. Will China spy on the United States?  Why use an entertainment star to start a company?  Is such a huge Internet giant used to monitor the data of American Internet users?  It¡¯s simply a fantasy. When did the country become so extravagant? It was Google.  ¡°Following this, there is another hot topic: Chen Tiandu may want to change his nationality, giving up his Chinese nationality and switching to American nationality?  "Oh, my God~!" "If I change my nationality, I will instantly feel like I am no longer in love." "I think it's okay to change. Think about how many celebrities have changed their nationality to foreign countries. But now it's the United States that is begging me to leave every day.  I am proud enough to change my nationality. "Who are the big stars who have changed their nationality? Li Lianjie, Gong Li, Siqin Gaowa, Zhang Tielin, Jiang Dawei, Xu Fan, and even Chen Kaige and Chen Hong are also Americansall the big names have taken action.  When the people opened their eyes, they suddenly realized that so many of them were not Chinese anymore.  Some people also spoke for Chen Tiandu, "It is not unacceptable for Tiandu to change his nationality. After all, no one will give up tens of billions of properties easily. Changing nationality does not mean giving up national feelings!" But it always makes people feel awkward.  .  Chen Tiandu also urgently put aside his vacation and hurried back to the United States.  When such a big thing happened, Kate didn't have time to play alone, so she rushed over with him.  The couple each held a child. When they got off the plane, they were surrounded by reporters who had heard about it early and were waiting on three floors.  (To be continued)
