9:01 am
a lot of people go to starbucks they're going to feel this they're going to be aware of it and that's a huge difference versus it just being taken care of hopefully in the news cycle the public will feel this and they'll see the difference do you think just what before we go here we got about thirty seconds do you think there are any more big shoes to drop with facebook i know it's hard to know but what's your gut tell you hilary it tells me that they're trying to address things but that they're all over the place i think that they did a brilliant job in terms of their crisis communications about was wonderful on capitol hill i think it's wilma hail that takes the credit for that the crisis management team that the detail the coaching but look about get a good job i think that they realize now they need outside experts as soon as a an organization realizes we need some external experts that are on the right track they need external experts and they need a lot of them you know the best ones out there and even in the news department and even now also cause the political bias they're not hiring and he said that he's aware of this you know silicon valley he's not hiring out of bring in young university they need to have more diversity in terms of their staff in terms of their political persuasion they. i wouldn't run into quite as much as this because

9:07 am
closing in on a deal to acquire online retailer flipkart if successful wal-mart's acquisition would give the discount chain a means to compete with amazon for the indian market bloomberg reports that wal-mart is prepared to pay twelve billion dollars to buy flipkart india's most popular online retailer from major stockholders including among others tiger global management and soft bank who both own about twenty percent bloomberg also reports that flipkart board is considering amazon as a corporate suitor or had considered them as a corporate suitor but were dissuaded from that option by the predictable and i trust challenges that if flip car were to be sold it would be a problem if it was sold to its biggest competitor and other indians is the nation's largest cell phone service in india be hearty our tel was has posted an eighty two percent drop in earnings for q one pretext profits fell to the equivalent of eighteen million dollars down from close to one hundred million
9:08 am
a year before air tel is reportedly under severe pressure from a new competitor reliance jiah low g.i. low made a big splash on entering the market with offers of seven month of free service and price points well below the previous industry norms after just a year and a half jar low is one hundred seventy five million customers competitors and other critics say gyros levis support from parent company reliance industries to a twenty nine billion dollars in capital that was abused into jai low amounts to and i competitive practices be hardy are tell is owned by be hearty mittal while reliance is owned by rival cash bunny india's richest man. and volvo and general motors are working with amazon to create a service that will deliver packages directly to your vehicle customers would use amazon's key app for deliveries in thirty seven u.s. cities the new business stream is not only one of the most recent but most
9:09 am
impressive inventions that combine automakers with emerging technologies volvo is also reportedly in talks with amazon to be able to offer customers with a package return service which would have all the customers placing packages in the trunks of their cars for pickup and hear discussed is about the best person one could imagine none other than the car coach lauren fix who joins us from our new york studio lauren thank you as always for being with us this is really something i imagine that rather than having a package sitting on your front doorstep out where somebody could steal it folks might feel a lot better having the package delivered to their vehicles and it seems like a pretty innovative deal what are your thoughts well i think there's good and bad to that i mean if you've ever had a package stolen off your doorstep which i have not thank goodness you can be very you know it's very intrusive so nish lee amazon had this key program where they could actually get in your house and put the parcel inside the door the problem is people that have animals they could get out with the birds cats or dogs and that
9:10 am
created some concern for some people so that obviously didn't apply so what do you do what if you put it in the trunk of their vehicle maybe you're at work the only problem is if you're in a locked in area or parking garage they can access that has to be in a public area and then of course if you're carpooling that could be a problem too so there are a few little things or i see you put the parcel in my trunk and as you walk away the amazon guy walks away i could break your window and steal your parcel so i think there is some negatives to it but i think there are some very positive people who don't want to carry large containers of toilet paper homes. good point and as bizarre as this whole thing might see lorne it isn't the only sort of new fangled service idea for an innovative business dream out. they're also read the toyota is partnering with pizza to actually deliver pizzas in autonomous vehicles and ford is doing the same thing with with domino's i mean are we just about to see the all deliveries in autonomous vehicle cool's is growing going to be the next one we see
9:11 am
. that may be true i think the big thing that you're thinking about these autonomous vehicles and everybody is going that direction i think it's really important for all of us to take a step back we've had a lot of hold on the programs for a ton of this vehicles when you look at some of the studies especially recently and after the death that happened in arizona you're seeing that sixty some percent of people wanting to ride in an autonomous car then want to be on the road with them or millenniums are more into potentially riding in one so those numbers are low the take rate is low and we still have the big hurdles of hacking that we have not addressed and of course the attorneys they're very excited for this to get on the road because they know they're going to be making a lot of money for manufacturers and everyone else in the insurance companies are a little bit concerned so i don't think we're there yet i think we're just in the testing mode but hey you want to deliver a pizza to me had become interesting but you don't get a tip then do oh that's a good point also well speaking of autonomous vehicles d.-d. the right healing service in asia that we reported on yesterday's going to mexico
9:12 am
and competing with a lift in latin america they're going to do so dry being a service also and they may be doing a public offering it's reported today seventy eighty billion with a b dollars for those of us that don't know much about d.d. give us a little background on one who they are what they are and what the future holds for them right here in the u.s. you might say getting in that seems to be like thermos and band-aid and clean x. it's very standard conversation but in china the word is d.d. which translates as beat beat so that has become their mainstay their big app and as a matter of fact we're gave up trying to compete with them and they own about seventeen point seven percent of d.d. and d.d. is now be. regulated by the chinese government because the fact is they don't have a yellow cab scenario like we do here in new york city what they're using is this app service because they have high speed trains and when you get to your destination you still have that last mile issue which means you get your train
9:13 am
station but i need a mile to get to a market or to my home they're going to try and work an autonomous car so they can pick you up at the train station so when you purchase your ticket for the train you'll get a notification on your phone saying hey your autonomous vehicle is there they're still going to have problems with infrastructure charging which is a huge issue as they work toward going pure and large cities they are producing nuclear power plants as quick as they can they put up eight last year and they realize that there is an electricity shortages same problem that we have here in the u.s. which is going to be a hold up for any city to go all electric or any state for that matter lauren fix the car coach thank you as always for being with us sure appreciate it lauren thank you. now we move to wells fargo a bank which actually helped build the united states but has had some really enduring problems being back to two thousand and sixteen in the last several days
9:14 am
they agreed to a one million dollar one billion dollars settlement with the consumer financial protection bureau and the comptroller of the currency related to claims of misconduct on auto and mortgage loans and part of the settlement includes wells paying restitution to its customers and the requirement to improve their compliance and management practices and here discusses david merkel of l.f. investments david thank you so much for coming in and spending time with us but sure appreciate it so how in the world did they get into this mess i mean it's a big deal it's been going on what would what was it instigated by wealthy in for profit margins that were too high than could really be afforded by the business and as such they entered into various types of marketing schemes and there is types of products that were aggressive complex could fool people they accepted in their management practices they would look past things that were deviations that were that were in their favor and they would then scrutinize heavily the things that cut
9:15 am
against current profitability and so you ended up with small people who got consumer loans from them getting the short end of the stick and they originally you know when you go back twenty sixteen they created all these added accounts they created savings accounts with right now ask for exciter and on the auto loans that i was just talking about it in the introduction a lot of those it wasn't that they opted consumers their customers rather in two auto insurance when they did now support things like that they they force placed insurance on these customers saying that they didn't have adequate insurance and when they did frequently have adequate insurance and that forced them to basically it would work you. they take the interest in the next part of the payment to insurance and then to principal that may force a number of them into noncompliance with their loans they would then go and foreclose on the loans and sometimes ripple the car and some of these people would then have difficulties getting to their work and so you know this ended up creating
9:16 am
losses of one hundred eighty one hundred eighty million dollars on that and on the rate locks for the mortgages that was another hundred million dollars where they basically because of their delay not because of the consumer delay forced the people to pay more in order to keep their loans locked at the interest rate that they wanted to have that was one hundred million not it and so they got is a billion dollar fine but it's not over i know they just asked for an extension was it from o c c n n extension for additional compliance so they still don't have every everything right yet it was and i money laundering and these are still some there are still some things going on with them with wealth management and some things with their commercial lending that they are still being looked into so these things go on these are complex institutions and in one sense if it's going to be complex you've got to create either the complexity to do the compliance or face more things like this again and again earlier in the program we were talking with
9:17 am
the hill reportage about how. facebook could handle their circumstance and how star book box dealt with it and i put wells probably in the facebook camp of not dealing with things appropriately and it brings to mind i know they just had a shareholders meeting out in iowa did that tim sloan the c.e.o. made seventeen point six million dollars last year that's two hundred ninety one times the average person i mean talk about bad optics do you think he's safe i know i know that's not an industry standards totally out of line but given the circumstances there and it seems like a pretty bad deal i'd say that he's not safe if another thing happens you know why . one two three strikes you're out but you know the thing is often these things happen because boards are you know they take what's given to them by the consultants and they think that every c.e.o. is above average since they're above average they give them slightly more than what the market south salary surveys will say and as such the next year when it comes up
9:18 am
again will the market averages move up because everyone's done this so often some of these things happen for innocent reasons personally for me i vote down every pass say on pay thing that for my clients i don't see the value in c.e.o.'s getting paid that much it seems pretty crazy to me i mean there's a value but boy i mean two hundred ninety one times what your employers make thank you so much david really appreciated merkle thank you they left investor it's good to have you here hate it thanks part. and before we go in the past we have covered some pretty big names in pop culture who are getting in on the block chain rush but now we even have some who are performing for it in may in new york city will see its own block chain week and the names that will come with it so who is on the bill snoop dog is going to be taking the stage next month he'll be singing for the v.i.p.'s vent which is being hosted
