5:02 pm
today's report is stronger. people were looking and i was hoping for a higher number. next week, i will lay out the next steps we are going to need to combat the delta variant, to address some of those fears. emily: following the remarks, the white house unveiled $65 billion plan to prepare for future pandemic threats. it focuses on protecting the u.s. from biological threats, either natural, accidental or deliberate. all this added up for a lot -- added up to a lot for investors to digest. we see how it played out with our kriti gupta. kriti: a risk off session following the disappointing report, 200 30,000 jobs report. the estimate was 730,000 jobs. you saw immediately a haven bid into big tech, some money going into treasuries initially but
5:03 pm
coming back out. i want to focus on china. you can see where big tech and chinese tack really diverts, the u.s. and china. they were trading together and now, outflows from china to the u.s. showed up in into drake -- intraday trading for security stocks. the shanghai government and shanghai exchanges are actually coming into tightened restrictions on offshore listings. this dark difference was didi rising above other chinese adrs, really having to do with the potential state-run investment. emily. emily: thanks. another big twist in the chinese crackdown on tech companies. the beijing city government proposed an investment in didi that would gives state-run companies control of the world's largest ride-hailer. it is unclear how large the stake would be and whether it would be approved by government officials. didi is controlled by its

cofounder and president whose voting power amounts to about 50% since the company went public in the u.s.. i'm joined by my guests, including the director of geo technology at the eurasia group. ladies, thank you. we saw the chinese government do something similar with bytedance, para company of tiktok. what you expect? >> the didi proposed takeover is a predictable continuation of chinese policy. we don't know yet. it sounds like they are having a state-owned enterprise invest take a share and board seats. jean jinping has been clear, chinese companies should serve chinese patriotic sectors. and the danger and that is strangling the goose that lays the golden egg. emily: this is a company with
5:05 pm
public investors from around the world including uber, softbank, big minority stakes in didi, what does it mean for them? >> this means that the chinese government is tightening control with the platform company. you look at what didi is going through and what bytedance needed to do to follow the same content rules as traditional media, that company should act like a licensed credit agency. this is a trend toward not only regulatory but ownership practices between digital and traditional industries in china. there is rising political pressure for the platform sector. emily: anja, she's an pig says he wants to redistribute wealth to limit the dominance of the tech sector, but what of the companies you expect to be affected? anja: i'm not sure where it will
5:06 pm
stop. the entire tech sector of china is going to be affected. the chinese government has been very clear. in august, they laid out a five-year plan outlining greater regulation of the economy, especially technology. some of it makes a lot of sense. tech companies in china have had very few data regulations and now you have data protection and all the other things and the reason they are doing this is to reinforce tighter communist party control. i think this trend is going to continue. this didi situation is not a one off. emily: there is an alibaba situation as well, also under regulatory scrutiny, just made a big, $15 donation to this campaign by president xi. what is your take? is alibaba trying to pay off or curry favor with the chinese
5:07 pm
government? >> alibaba is still a representative of the chinese tech industry response to this changing political development we have been talking about. [indiscernible] to proactively respond to the political calling for a redistribution of wealth. the fear is that they don't excel-corrective action now, partial regulation will come down the pike. this could be tax reform, new labor rules, investment restrictions. these options are all available on the table. emily: anja, you used to work at the u.s. state department, how is this being received? anja: the u.s. is watching the u.s.-china tech competition carefully. we have seen moves by the u.s. government to make ourselves more competitive. there is a lot pending in congress called the innovation
5:08 pm
act that would vastly step up u.s. investment in our own research and development for chips, would you give subsidies to semiconductors, so the u.s. government is watching this very closely. but these chinese internet companies aren't directly related to our national security. i think they are watching it in the sense that u.s.-china policy is at the forefront. but didi, bytedance, don't directly impact our national security. emily: how could this impact u.s.-china policy and the relationship? xiaomeng: it is a tech decoupling and it is happening on both sides, not just the u.s.. the commonest party once tighter control. you have seen 50-year regulations from the chinese in the past few months, antitrust,
5:09 pm
alibaba was fined. tencent and music licensing. there is a protection law that will make it hard for chinese companies to export data abroad. there was a crackdown on internet tutoring. so you really see china decoupling, especially from the west, in terms of its technology. and that trend will continue. emily: xiaomeng, give us an idea of what is happening in china right now. if you are a chinese entrepreneur running a startup, are you panicking now? xiaomeng: bigger companies are realizing, in a way, winter is coming. the business environment has changed forever. and this is not a short period, it is likely the start of a process that will last for years. for small and medium-sized companies, xi has addressed this
5:10 pm
audience and has said he is going to set up a new trading board in beijing and promises openings in the service sector to give opportunities to the smaller guys. that is the kind of government move designed to ease market concerns and present new opportunities for smaller players in the industry. emily: fascinating to watch this playing out. eurasia group's siameng lu as well as anja manuel, thank you. apple designed to delay a new feature that would scan customer photos for signs of child sex abuse. the company announced the system in early august along with other tools meant to protect children. apple faced criticism from privacy advocates that the measures could set the stage for other forms of tracking. apple says it is taking time to collect input and make

for something, google is the default search engine. bernstein last week at a great report where they ran numbers and found google was going to pay apple $15 billion this year, rising as much as $20 billion next year. -- rising to as much as $20 billion next year. last october, the distribution deal between google and apple was the centerpiece of an antitrust lawsuit against google . i don't see how it can last. emily: you point out there is an antitrust problem here. why is that if both apple and google, petra's, are involved? tae: they are kind of competitors, but in a sense they are not. if google is paying apple $15 billion this year, there is no way for a small start up to get that kind of distribution.
5:16 pm
this is massive come over one billion people using iphones. so, this is a huge advantage for google and they already have a monopoly on the surge business with over 90% market share. i don't see how this is tenable in this world of antitrust, and this is a clear example of a power call -- powerful company like google to use financial might to maintain dominance. emily: you make a suggestion apple should start its own search engine, certainly provocative. why do you think that is a solution. that solution? and it is not easy to do tae: --and it is not easy to do. tae: they have been hiring a lot of people from google. if you think about it, google makes $50 billion from ios users, so why not go after the market? it is a huge market and one of

the things that apple can go at that is going to move the needle. if you think about it, it is also software and services, so a lot of engineering that apple does can the relatable, and it is the same kind of expertise. so, it is a huge market that they can attack, tens of billions of dollars, software services, any capabilities they invest in, they can transfer to other areas that make iphones more attractive and like i said, in this antitrust world, i don't think this last. so, they might as well get i had a bed and attack this market. emily: you imagine apple would do search differently than i n google in april privacy way? tae: tim cook end up alike to say we are a privacy first company, but they are taking all this honey from google at the same time, and offering up apple users to be used by google for digital advertising, and

making our portfolio become the platform we have sought the whole time. we saw double digit growth and a lot of momentum which allows us to expand our markets. we did a great job in driving pricing to deliver record-breaking gross margin and a record-breaking year up till today. the momentum gives us confidence to raise the forecast on eps and free cash flow and we will continue to drive growth in the revenue top line in the next quarters. the covid challenges, it is going to be here for some time and we have taken action and our engineering team's best in class to swap components where there isn't availability. emily: talk about how supply constraints play out? do you think the chip shortage

and other shortages will ease up to the end of the year, a couple more years? antonio: no, no. we think it is safe to say, for a couple more quarters, two or three quarters, and then it will ease up. our suppliers have taken their own actions to increase capacity, but the same time, we are taking our own actions. at is why all our new guidance, we are raising the guidance, it factors all this in. we think this is going to stay here for two or three quarters but on the demand side, emily, we see no impact. in fact, demand is never been to this wrong. we are bullish about the momentum that i think will continue into the 2022i.t spending cycle. and more customers are consuming everything we offer as a service, to your point of becoming more of a subscription company. emily: you shrank while dell was

5:33 pm
18 months of this pandemic? a trend toward eve's signing was going to happen at some point, but -- he -- e-signing was going to happen but how much do you think was compressed into that pandemic? dan: i think it was meaningful, over six quarters we double the size of the business and even though we are high-growth we probably would not plan to double every six months. we think we had a fairly significant increase to our growth rates. if you think about q2 which we announced, 50% revenue growth, due to on the subscription side and we were traditionally -- we have been more in the high 30's. this is a meaningful peace and i think we have come out of that heavily covid induced growth and and closer to what the new normal will look like. emily: the way i think about it, thank goodness we can do these things electronically. that is important, the question is can you keep this growth up
5:34 pm
post-pandemic? how does that trend? dan: if you look at what we provided for guidance, strong guidance in the second half even though we had this strong first half. i think we are bullish on the growth opportunity ahead. i think the cork reason behind it and the reason we are optimistic and the market is seeing it, we have a significant -- a strong competitive position. and we have been executing well, docusign has stepped up to the opportunity so i think the expectation is all three of those things are going to continue. emily: you are known for e-signature's but you have expanded, talk about that. dan: e-signature is where it starts, it brought us here and we would not be doing $2 billion of revenue if it weren't for signatures. at the same time, our customers, we are a customer company,
5:35 pm
before the signature is generated and after the document is signed, they search and run our business better from the information we get from those agreements. that is where we want you to go. that is what the agreement plan is, we are building out that functionality pre-and post signature so we can bring a more full solution and help customers run their business. emily: you have over one million customers. what are the demands you are seeing as the pandemic drags on and we move toward some sort of new normal so far away? dan: we like the new normal two, we just wish it would get here faster. during the pandemic, a lot of our customers were in survival mode. i had a conversation with a smaller insurance company and their ceo told us if it had not been for docusign, when they had to close their physical doors because they could not operate
5:36 pm
physically, they probably would've had to close their doors. over half the business they did was driven by a signature in the year post-covid. now they are saying that is fantastic, how do we take our digital transformation to the next level? we've done the basics but let's look at the rest of business and opportunity. that is where we see growth. we see of australia, a great example, customers for a while coming out of the pandemic the group their volume 175% with us. people are saying we got our toes wet, we saw the benefit you articulated of the ease-of-use, the speed of getting things done faster and better, now we want to accelerate that the rest of our business. emily: you are a san francisco-based business, i have been to your office, beautiful. how are you thinking about the return to work for your company? companies like coinbase give up their headquarters and went fully remote, others are
5:37 pm
downsizing. how are you thinking about this? dan: we have frustration right now because i can't be in that office that is a couple of blocks from here. the reality is we think new normal for us will be different but not dramatically different. our philosophy as we think part of what makes our culture great is the interaction our employees have of each other and some of that will need to be in person and occur in the office. we are not getting rid of our footprint, we will probably grow it slower than in the past because a lot of workers are going to come with less for quincy. are going to have less dedicated desks and more of people hotel ing. that means we will grow slowly on our office footprint but the same thing, we are going to ask our employees for the most part come back in the office, that will allow them that are career growth, us to have better innovation in our business and allow us to serve our customers. that is how we think it is going to play out. emily: docusign ceo and

5:42 pm
weekend. they're hopeful they'll be able to keep the blaze out of the resort town. the improving conditions have allowed them to build these fire containment lines around the city ahead of the fire. some of these lines are as wide as a highway. they use these bulldozers and crews to chop away trees and brush to protect this urban environment. things are looking much better than they did 72 or even 48 hours ago. emily: we are going into labor day weekend when you would normally see lake tahoe teeming with visitors and people who live there. would you say we are out of the woods, no pun intended? or is it still a minute by minute, hour by our situation
5:43 pm
given how dry it is and how warm it is? mark: that is a great question. no, they don't think they are out of the woods as you say yet. fire officials don't expect to lift evacuation warnings for south lake tahoe over the labor day weekend. they are not giving exact timing, they might be able to let people back sometime next week, though they said it could be later than that. it really depends how well they are able to put out some of these spot fires that have been popping up around the area, and really get a sense of whether or not the fire is truly contained. but yeah, it is going to be an economic hit for south lake tahoe. this is one of the busiest times of year for the area. somebody with the tourist association said it will hurt

5:47 pm
have been consistent with 100 fires, so as i'm expecting this season it will stay at that number and maybe increase. emily: we will keep watching and i have to ask, since you are 17, how did you do it? how did you create a bot that can identify fires? bennett: it's just a program, it is looking through reports and i guess it all began when i was on vacation with my family last summer and there was fire. the smoke from the fire caused problems for everybody and that sparked my interest in wildfires. since then, it is a way to share information about wildfires. emily: thank you for sharing it with us as a resident of the state of california, bennett jwseiajtm xe =---
