(Observer network text/editor of Lu Siye/Zhuang Yi) After a day, Zhang Yiming published an internal letter again.

On August 4th, the founder of the byte beating Zhang Yiming published an internal letter from the employees of the Chinese region. The theme is not to care about the short -term damage and be patient.Disputes make some responses.

Zhang Yiming mentioned that because it was said that the company would sell the news of Tiktok's US business, many people scolded the company and me on Weibo.

For public opinion on social media, Zhang Yiming said that CFIUS forced Tiktok's sales of US business was not Musical.ly mergers and acquisitions, and full ban is the real purpose.Bytes need to accept misunderstandings for a period of time. I hope everyone will not care about short -term damage and patiently do the right thing.

In addition, Zhang Yiming emphasized that the byte jumping staff must have the perspective of Mars in their work. Cultural conflicts are problems that most Chinese companies will not encounter, but it is inevitable for the byte beating, because our colleagues come from all over the world. There are different different parts of the world.The cultural background, facing different public opinion fields.

At noon on August 3, Zhang Yiming issued the first internal letter to respond to the problems faced by Tiktok's US business. He said that he would actively cooperate with the investigation and not give up to explore any possibilities.

Zhang Yiming said that when looking for a solution, the three factors of users, teams, and companies will be considered.He admits that he has not fully decided the final solution. The outside world's attention and rumors about Tiktok may last for a while.

The following is the internal letter original text:

It has not been written for Chinese colleagues for a long time. The last time the epidemic broke out.Think about the situation today and talk to everyone.

It's the storm season

Many people scold the company and me on Weibo because it is said that the company will sell Tiktok's US business.I saw that some people in the headline circle said that they were crying by Weibo in the middle of the night, and some people quarreled with me and I was sour. Many colleagues cheered up.Yesterday, I worked overtime to dawn. I opened the headline circle before going to bed. I saw a photo of the Shenzhen Lafos Building at 5:30 in the morning, which belonged to the company's floor lights.

Recently, many colleagues have worked together. Colleagues of Zhenyuan, Dingkun, and technical departments often work until midnight for architecture upgrades and European data centers. There are also many colleagues of departments staying for 24 hours and being called at any time.The days when I feel extraordinary, like a special journey.

Thank you everyone

I want to thank my colleagues for myself, I always felt in my heart, but for the first time.

To be honest, with the development of the company's globalization, many Chinese colleagues have sacrificed a lot. Since 16 years, they have frequently favored them, or they have overcome jet lag language problems in China, and often have many emergency work.I always go out of the comfort zone and embrace changes, emphasizing that it is very important in the next eighteen months.

Later, because of more and more localization, such as the TIKTOK market operation function (many Musical.ly teams from Base Shanghai), non -Chinese business content review and other functions have been fully moved out of China from the end of 18 years. Many colleagues have done a good job in doing well.Direction.R & D colleagues are also affected by the adjustment of data access policy.

Fortunately, the company grows fast, and everyone has developed well in new posts.There are some complaints from time to time, but in general, everyone really has a large pattern and small EGO.

Global company

As a company founded by the Chinese, why do we often emphasize that we are global companies, and there must be a Martian perspective in our work.Because our colleagues come from all over the world, there are different cultural backgrounds, facing different public opinion fields.And everyone has information limitations, which is easier to start from their own perspective, especially when geopolitical strengthening and globalization often occur.

If you do not stand at the perspective of Mars, you will easily offend the culture and values of different countries at work, or impose your habit standards to colleagues with different cultural backgrounds. There are many such examples.This is one of the reasons why we add diverse and tolerate to the byte model.

Cultural conflict is a problem that most Chinese companies will not encounter.The international business of many Chinese companies is mainly the sales of physical products, so the team can maintain the business efficiently.And a large platform that connects different cultures must be operated and managed by teams from various countries.We respect the local culture in various countries, so we can attract talents from different countries to join byte beating. After 2-3 years of twists and turns, we have established a good employer brand in many countries.I think this is also a large pattern and a small manifestation of EGO.

Public opinion on social media

I actually understand that people have high expectations for the establishment of a Chinese company to the global company, but there is no full and accurate information. In addition, the public has a lot of resentment about the current US government's behavior.Essence

It is just that most people have made the focus of the incident problem wrong. The focus of the problem is not that CFIUS is forced to be sold to American companies on the grounds that CFIUS is harmful to national security on the grounds of Musical.ly.As a company, we must abide by the law and have no choice), but this is not the purpose of the other party, and even the other party does not want to see that its real purpose is to want a comprehensive ban and more ...

Complicated things are not suitable for a certain period of time.Just like in the past, there are many times. We can't explain the company's criticism. After everyone experienced it, I have more trust in the management team.For the public's opinions, we must be able to accept misunderstandings for a while.I hope that everyone should not care about the short -term damage and be patient and do the right thing.This is also a large pattern, small EGO.

Challenge of anti -China emotions

Over the past two years, especially recently, many countries have risen in anti -China.

For example, in April, our Indian company donated protective supplies to Indian medical staff. After the conflict between China and India in June, the Minister of the Indian Women's Children's Minister who worked hard to help us transport and complete the donation was attacked by netizens on social media.

In some countries such as the United States, some politicians have comprehensively attacked China and Chinese companies at least in the short term, and even those who have a more comprehensive perspective and people cannot publicly say fair words.Therefore, we must also understand the situation of non -Chinese employees, and we must expect more difficulties in the future.

Nonetheless, we should still look at the challenges and pressure from the long run.Constantly pursue a good product experience, build a good team culture, be transparent and open, and pursue high standards in protecting the interests of user interests and corporate social responsibility.I believe not only can win users, but also add points to Chinese companies.

Occasionally, some people say that the company has more demand for the Chinese team. I think it is indeed. Thank you for your efforts.
