Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Amit reported to Chen Yiran: "Boss, those two administrators you kept an eye on have indeed started causing trouble. Just now, a few animal protection and cultural preservation organizations secretly tried to board a boat and force their way onto the island, but they were caught by the island's patrol team. What do we do now?"

"Just call the police. They illegally trespassed on private property. Let them handle it according to the law. As for those NGOs, get them moving. They took my money, so they have to do my job."

"Understood, boss."

Non-Governmental Organizations, abbreviated as NGO, are non-governmental organizations.

This refers to social organizations that are not affiliated with the government and do not aim to make money. They usually operate on a voluntary basis and play a role in public welfare fields such as environmental protection, charity, and education.

The International Red Cross, founded in 1863, can be considered the origin of this type of organization.

With the signing of the Geneva Convention in 1864, the Red Cross became the first transnational humanitarian organization recognized by international law, establishing its golden image of neutrality and public welfare.

Subsequent abolitionist associations and the Salvation Army were essentially secular extensions of religious charity and humanitarian aid.

The UN Charter of 1945 was the first to recognize the advisory status of NGOs at the level of international law, transforming NGOs from grassroots philanthropy into formal participants in international governance.

This led to an explosive growth, with the emergence of many development aid NGOs such as Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, and Save the Children. They expanded on a large scale amidst the wave of independence movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, becoming an important channel for Western foreign aid.

The founding of Doctors Without Borders in 1971 brought the reputation of NGOs to its peak, and NGOs have since become symbols of conscience, anti-dictatorship, and saving lives.

During this period, NGOs were almost synonymous with morality itself. However, at the same time, Western governments also discovered that NGOs were a soft power lever and began to actively co-opt them.

In 1983, the United States officially intervened and established the National Endowment for Democracy, which is nominally an NGO but in reality a political organization funded by Congress.

After the end of the Cold War, various NGOs began to diverge. Traditional humanitarian NGOs, such as the Red Cross Doctors Without a Country, are still well-regarded because everyone knows they are genuinely doing good deeds.

However, the true nature of many political NGOs has been seen through by the international community.

After the financial crisis, governments began cutting budgets, and various organizations without funds immediately compromised and became non-profit organizations that were paid to do things.

For Chen Yiran, those who take money to do things are the easiest to deal with.

In previous donations, several funds were specifically designated to several NGOs.

Two of them are the most famous.

An organization called the Hawaii Island Animal Welfare League has indeed done a lot of practical work, including a great deal of work on seabird conservation and record keeping. However, they have long been short of funds, and in order to protect seabirds, they specifically charge people to speak out on their behalf.

An organization called the Pacific Native Rights Association focuses on the preservation of Hawaiian Native culture. Its core team consists of three people: a professor of anthropology at the University of Honolulu, the owner of a travel company in Maui County, and a retired state government employee.

Every year they receive money from various foundations, and all they do is write reports, hold meetings, and issue statements.

Upon receiving the order, Amit quickly contacted the group.

The next day, this group began what they did best: media hype.

The Hawaii Island Animal Welfare Coalition was the first to speak out, publishing a lengthy article on their website titled "The Real Face of Lanai Animal Shelter: Who's Exploiting Cats for Profit?"

The article details the problems with the cat shelter: lack of financial transparency, unclear sources of funding, lack of professional animal care qualifications for the main person in charge, and the actual operation of the shelter being far from what was advertised.

Furthermore, they praised Chen Yiran for providing a better living environment for the cats on Lanai Island after taking over. The cats no longer need to rely on the charity of the shelter, nor do they have to force tourists to come and go.

After the article was published, several local Hawaiian media outlets, who had been in cahoots with each other, immediately reprinted it.

Following this, the Pacific Indigenous Rights Advancement Association also issued a statement.

They issued a statement through a Honolulu media outlet titled "Respect and Development Go Hand in Hand: A New Direction for Lanai."

The article criticizes the organizations that came to Lanai to cause trouble, claiming that culture cannot be protected by propaganda and that as long as the indigenous people live better and better, the culture will naturally be passed down.

Within a week, several NGOs, drawing on their extensive experience, turned this incident into a nationwide hot topic.

When the two administrators and several NGO staff members who had been arrested were released on bail, they found that they had already been trampled into the dirt by their peers before they even had a chance to make a move.

Cultural preservation NGOs are very rational; if they feel there's no profit to be made, they immediately withdraw.

But the two animal protection NGOs weren't giving up and started arguing with the world online. However, almost no one paid them any attention anymore; whether it was the duck videos or Twitter, they were met with nothing but ridicule.

At this point, Google, adhering to the principle of "Don't be evil," stepped in and began aggressively promoting the two animal rights NGOs on YouTube, attempting to create obstacles for Chen Yiran.

Chen Yiran, of course, couldn't just take the beating, so he started regularly mocking Google on duck videos and Twitter.

As before, every hour I dig up a Google black history to talk about.

Although these are all topics we've covered before, the key is not to be new, but to be useful.

Of course, there were also new tricks. Chen Yiran had the Duck Video operations team organize a submission campaign.

All Android users who are still using Android can upload a video of Google Assistant making a fool of itself.

Any form is acceptable; it could be testing its responsiveness or its speech recognition—whatever is tricky or funny.

Finally, the 100 funniest videos will be selected, and the creators will receive a prize: all of Apple's new products and all of Samsung's new products for the next year, thus escaping the misery of Android.

A few days later, in Apple's office, Chen Yiran looked at the data below and asked, "I do think it's very beneficial for website traffic, but now it's turning into a nationwide craze. Won't it inexplicably stimulate a wave of Android phone sales?"

Cook laughed and said, "Don't worry, we've done our research. People aren't stupid. Some people who bought phones specifically to participate in this event will choose older Samsung models, but they can upgrade to One UI later."

Of course, our sales team has studied this carefully and believes that if Android sales are stimulated, it would actually be better. Their phone assistant does have too many problems, and the bugs are increasing as they try to integrate with the phone assistant. This generation is arguably their worst product.

Users who use this generation of the system are very likely to switch to our or Samsung devices within the next two to three years, and will not use the Android platform again in the short term.

"Wow, you guys are so heartless."

Cook was exasperated. It was Chen Yiran who had come up with all the ideas to mock the other party. He coughed and changed the subject.

"Over the weekend, Aurora Group officially acquired a stake in SpaceX, and we're also in talks with Twitter, which shouldn't be too long. As the CEO of Apple, our intention is to make a few more major acquisitions."

Chen Yiran scratched his head: "Still buying? I don't even know what to buy anymore."

Cook didn't know what was available to buy, but he still had to get Chen Yiran to buy it.

Both Apple and Bain Capital felt they didn't have enough shares in Aurora Group. What they wanted most was for Chen Yiran to spend money recklessly, even if it resulted in losses. It would be best if it caused a liquidity crisis, as they had plenty of cash on hand and were ready to take more shares from Chen Yiran at any time.

Aurora Group's finances are so healthy now, it's frighteningly healthy.

Apple itself has already stopped knowing how to spend money, but new companies like Apple need to know how to spend money no matter what.

Cook thought for a moment, then said with a mix of humor and seriousness, "Never mind anything else, we have to start buying. We still have 10 billion dollars in the account; we can't just leave it unused."

Moreover, our turnover is very good, and our finances are too healthy, which is unhealthy.

"Sell whatever you want, buy whichever one you like. We're just minority shareholders, we won't stop you."

"Alright, alright. There are two companies in Japan and Germany that are eager to acquire me. I'll look into it and take them over."
