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

The film and television company was finalized smoothly, and Sister Asa's plan to leave Huayue was a pleasant surprise for Jiang Hao.

However, Whale's development really fell into the expected crisis.

Whether India's sanctions were intentional or accidental, they ultimately put Whale at the center of public attention.

The next morning, Jiang Hao received new news that the U.S. federal government would launch a security review of Whale.

Compared with India’s confusing and bizarre sanctions, the US’s actions were fast and ruthless!

The review procedure was initiated in the morning, and the preliminary rectification requirements had already reached Chen Peng in the afternoon.

Jiang Hao received a call from Chen Peng at four in the morning in the middle of the night and dealt with the vague request conveyed by the US side.

There are two core demands: requiring Whale to release the underlying data of all users and submit it to relevant agencies of the US federal government for review.

Another requirement is to change the ownership of Whale's company. It can no longer be controlled by the domestic Whale Company, but must be controlled by the American company.

Naked and straightforward robbery.

This can be said to be the first time that Jiang Hao faced real unfair sanctions from the government.

So swift, so tough, so unreasonable.

"Don't worry, spread the news of what I said as soon as possible."

"Even if sanctions are imposed, they won't be implemented so quickly. Contact the legal team as soon as possible, and don't forget about the bribes!"

Sanctions will come eventually, and Jiang Hao knows that he cannot avoid it.

It is always better to come early than late, especially now that the company has not yet gone public, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

After talking to Chen Peng on the phone, Jiang Hao couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.

After calming down Yu Xintong who was woken up, Jiang Hao went to the study room next door and browsed some current international discussions on sea whales.

It wasn't until around 7 a.m. that the call was connected.

"Mr. Jiang? Why are you calling me so early?"

"Secretary You, this matter is urgent. I can only bother you early."

On the other end of the phone, Secretary You immediately became serious after hearing Jiang Hao's expectations.

He put down the half-finished century egg and lean meat porridge in his hand and stood up to sit on the sofa nearby.

"It's about the international sanctions against Whale..."

Since the confrontation has reached the government level, Whale naturally has a backer.

In this kind of international competition, the domestic government is Jiang Hao's greatest support.

In particular, Whale has indeed promoted a lot of positive information about China in the past one or two years, including the modernization of cities and some concepts that are misunderstood internationally.

It can be said that Jiang Hao has always been cooperating with the policies of his superiors and gradually showing a positive image in the country through Whale.

After the current sanctions have happened, the government will naturally help to communicate and coordinate.

"I understand this matter. I will call Secretary Rong immediately."

"Don't worry, Haijing's affairs are the affairs of our Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee!"

"In the international competition, our provincial party committee will definitely give you the greatest support, and the country will definitely be your support!"

Secretary You had a clear attitude and stood firmly on Jiang Hao's side, which gave Jiang Hao great comfort.

At the same time, as soon as he hung up the phone, he called Secretary Rong in the province.

……

On the fourth day of India’s sanctions, the US sanctions notice was officially issued.

Since the Whale platform is not regulated by the U.S. government, and the company's big data push monitors the United States at any time, affecting and endangering the U.S. national sovereignty, it is now punished.

A fine of 1.36 million U.S. dollars was imposed, and the controlling shareholder of Whale Company was required to be a U.S. company within 168 days.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also responded with a protest, and personnel from the Chinese Embassy in the United States also began to negotiate with the US side.

The incident regarding Whale being sanctioned has finally begun and has officially entered the stalemate stage.

……

Also due to the sanctions from the United States and the strong support from China, Haijing and Whale Company immediately attracted heated discussions around the world!

"Shit! Whale is registered in an offshore island. The proportion of Chinese employees in the company is only 8%. Among the 19 executives, 36% are Indian, 26% are American... and only 10% are Chinese. There are only two people. What's so unsafe about it?"

"It's just that the parent company is China, and Whale is an independent subsidiary, so where does the security issue come from?"

……

"536 damn congressmen, are their brains full of shit?"

"How stupid! How ridiculous!"

……

Such videos and graphic descriptions quickly went viral on the Whale platform within a week.

These videos were shot, edited and released spontaneously by some self-media bloggers in the United States.

Compared with some Indian executives, these self-media bloggers are fully aware of who the financial backers are.

Once Whale shuts down, all their accumulated fans on Whale will be shorted!

When it comes to their own interests, most people will still choose the option that best suits their own interests.

Especially for an immigrant country like the United States, there are not many people who are truly inclined towards the United States.

For a time, led by Haijing, a series of videos denouncing and opposing the US government were widely discussed in various media around the world.

Naturally, there was an overwhelming outcry and resistance within the Whale platform.

On other platforms, the results were mixed.

Among those who oppose Whale, there are actually two things that they are most worried about.

One point is that Whale’s big data push is too accurate, which really makes them feel like they are being monitored and violates their personal privacy.

Another point is that the content pushed is too entertaining, and it is suspected that Chinese companies are subtly changing the education in the United States.

Also, because China's basic education is well developed, some high-tech disciplines are now slowly catching up. It is believed that what Whale pushes in China, that is, on the Haijing platform, are all valuable subject and technical content.

It can be said that a series of problems with Whale that had been hidden and accumulated have begun to surface.

However, these questions were quickly explained by Whale's many favorite users.

The Whale platform itself ranks 7th in global daily active users. If Shanghai Whale is included, the daily active users will rank th.

With the discussion of the terrifying number of users, the pressure on the US government suddenly increased.

Fortunately, both sides now have a buffer period of 168 days, during which they can sit down and talk.

At the same time, high risk is accompanied by high returns and high profits.

Since the US officially announced the sanctions, the number of downloads and visits to both the domestic Haijing platform and the Whale platform has surged.

The number of domestic registered users increased by 7000 million in just one week, bringing the number of registered users to over 3 million.

The number of daily active users soared to 6200 million.

The Whale platform has grown rapidly. The US sanctions seem to have completely ignited Whale. The number of users has surged by 2 million in one week, quickly reaching 6 million!

The number of daily active users is even more astonishing, having soared to 8900 million.

With increasingly heated discussions among international netizens, Whale's daily active users are expected to exceed 100 million.

It is catching up with the user data of Twitter and Instagram.

It is expected to jump from the seventh place to the third place in terms of daily active users of social entertainment media in a short period of time.
