谷歌会算账：投资欧盟4.5亿美元，试图规避数十亿美元罚款 - 谷歌,Google,欧盟 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 谷歌最近在欧盟的日子不太好过，多次被欧盟指控垄断，最近一次谷歌被指控滥用搜索支配地位大赚广告费，这些指控一旦成立，该公司将面临数十亿美元的罚款。

虽说谷歌财大气粗，但几十亿美元也不是小数目，交罚款是在太可惜，因此谷歌试图规避这一风险，具体方法就是花费4.5亿美元“做慈善”，帮助欧盟国家建设文化和教育事业。例如为爱尔兰高中教师提供一年的数字培训课程，资助欧洲新闻机构适应互联网，举办文艺复兴画家作品的VR展览等，这些举措既能够增加欧盟国家对谷歌的好感，又能够提升谷歌品牌的影响力。

这些项目早在2014年就已经开始实施，不过似乎欧盟并没有完全吃这一套，还是在此期间继续对谷歌进行反垄断指控。但俗话说“吃人嘴短，拿人手短”，既然谷歌这份大礼已经有人收下，也许总会有一定的效果。
