executive of alphabet, the parent company. and it will become the chief executive of google inc.. in charge of the search business. emily chang standing by with an exclusive interview with a former google executive who s a colleague. tell us. -- emily: joining me, vice president of global operations at xiaomi, thank you for joining us. you have worked closely with larry page. for many years, and i wonder, when you first heard the news, what was your reaction gekk? goodod morning, and evening from beijing. on the one hand, i did not think it was a surprise them because i think larry has been .elegraphing this it is not a surprise. on the other hand, i think the technology community is enthusiastic about this, very
11:07 am
enthusiastic because i think what he is building is the most amazing business platform. there is no one in the world today, or a handful of people that are ambitious as larry. very excited about this. ly: you told me a few months ago that they should be running the day-to-day operation so focus on the future of humanity. it also a bit grandiose. take me inside the mind of larry page and sergey brin. why are they doing it? >> i think they're doing it for reasons they stated that the very beginning first investor letter of the company. they are there to build a technology company that can change people's lives. i think they are best at that. they are better at that than at running day-to-day operations of any business, simply because
11:08 am
there are very few people like them in the world. who is a someone product rival of one of the best technology companies in the world, business savvy, humble and still very impatient and a good way, someone who likes to move fast, someone who knows google very deeply some they can focus and larry can focus on the noon shots, on finding things that will change the world, but that could also be phenomenal businesses. i think there will be a few of those. emily: is it because they want to work on moonshot and google is lame google and has gotten a little boring? >> i don't think so. one way to look at this, larry e the world's most sophisticated investor in the sense that he has invested profits into projects further into the future than anyone else can see, and
11:09 am
certainly anyone else could through the well investment firepower. i am pretty sure his commitment to investors will be number one. i thinkon and ambition, are equally important and completely unique. emily: he has not shied away making big investments and company -- and companies like nest. can we see more acquisitions like that in the future? what does this mean for potential acquisitions? >> probably early to say. i think this new organization structure alphabet give google an option, which they connect at any point in time to find more nest, tony's. not in many of those out there. but i think with the , theization the structure company structure they can think of more interesting ways to attract and obtain all. different compensation schemes
11:10 am
that probably were impossible in the traditional google. they can do anything in terms of defining how the companies operate. it also comes with a much higher degree of reporting, responsibility, accountability, that probably did not exist in the way that google is run today. i think that is great for vision and ambition, but also great for the investors frankly. nests what are the other out there and tony fidel? >> not many other tony's. a phenomenal guy. not many of them out there. there are a few people in the world that i think 30 elite brilliant. a good friend of mine runs the world most amazing technology music company. he is someone in that rank.
11:11 am
there are a few people like that. of course, it is an auction for google. i don't think they will go where it does not make sense, but having the auction in their hands i think is incredible. ly: do you think google could buy a company like spotify? >> i don't know. it is impossible for me to say. it is conceivable google could make large acquisitions if they decide to. not only in businesses directly related to what google does new areas,entirely not only moonshot-type investments, but there is nothing stopping google with auction they created from biting operations focused businesses if they want to. ly: investor in google said it undermines the micro point.
11:12 am
you have worked at google for a very long time and now working with android. what do you think this means? will android continue to be open? what does it mean for xiaomi? android and youtube are important parts of google. they cannot really be extracted if that is the underlying question. android is an incredibly strategic platform for google. it is the platform for which they are based much of the business today and much of the business in the future. these days it is hard to run a standalone platform business is exactly what google has been doing and will continue to do. spinning out android would be the equivalent of the data centers. the infrastructure is at the heart of the company. does not make sense. we could really extract that part of the business. i think you could say the same thing for you too. : a light a talk about

11:43 am
the world provide information to the public. some of those disclosures are voluntary, and some are just good for business, but many contain information that those companies, particularly if they are public retreated, are required to disclose, often in a particular time and way. that information can be news of an impending merger, the vestige or come stock split, major personal changes or litigation just to name a few. in fact, just yesterday hundreds of public traded companies made announcements of their second-quarter earnings. in order to comply with regulatory requirements and make sure the information is disseminated fairly across the markets, many of the companies rely on third party companies who specialize in those kinds of press releases. and when they do, when they provide information to those organizations that distribute it, what they expect, what they
11:44 am
caps on, and what they pay for is that no one will get the information before it is released. today we are announcing results of interlocking investigations of a successful scheme to carefully those planned announcement. for more than five years hackers largely operating in ukraine repeatedly penetrated the networks and servers of market wired, prnewswire and business wire, three of the leading companies that provide third -- this news release services. over that five-year time, using hacking techniques and tactics, including fruit or's, injection attacks, and fishing, those hackers stole well over 100,000 confidential news releases before they were distributed. and were relentless patient. they maintained access for sometimes long stretches of time , more than years. when they lost access, starting over and regaining access.
11:45 am
as alleged in the indictment, one hacker actually's and an online chat message stating i am hacking prnewswire.com. they then posted the releases on private overseas servers and made them available to those that were experts on trading on the information ahead of the public announcement, and they were full service. the indictments charge the also provided business partners, the traders, with a video explaining how to access the system. they put up servers overseas tradersned how the could gain access to the servers to get the stolen releases. after getting the necessary access, often only hours before the release made public, the trader took some very sizable positions in the securities of the company. sometimes, as we learn from e-mail and other documents recovered, the traders gave shopping list of companies whose
11:46 am
releases the expected soon and whose information they wanted. in return, they sent a percentage of the profits to foreign bank accounts for the benefits of the hackers. sometimes they even checked the trading accounts, check the trading account tabs on the traders. in two indictments, one returned here in the district of new jersey. traded ahead of more than 800 releases and made more than $30 million. in addition, the fcc has filed a civil complaint charging those individuals and a host of others with civil -- similar trading conduct. in a minute, i will ask mary jo white to describe her agencies days and kelly currys to describe his office's case. we have returned a 23 count indictment regarding hackers. three of the trading conspirators, marketing, igor

in transmit earnings information before the public release. this case highlights a number of important points. if demonstrates the enhanced trading surveillance and analytic capabilities to sec has developed over the past few years. it also highlights the use of market experts with specialized skills and experience. we now have new technological tools and investigative to nothes that allow us only pinpoint suspicious trading across multiple securities, but to identify relationships among traders. the fcc enforcement division sorted through literally millions of trades, thousands of earnings announcements and gigabytes of data on ip addresses in order to identify these defendants who went to detection, to update often identifying traders based on pattern of trading. with the enhanced capabilities
