My Age of Investment

"...The situation is roughly like this, Daeron seems to be very confident."

As soon as she got back to the company, Mayer walked into Page's office and described all the process of meeting with Christina and Xia Jingxing today.

Page didn't speak, and habitually turned the ergonomic seat under his buttocks. He was carefully analyzing the information Mayer brought back.

Mayer sat across from Page, waiting quietly.

In fact, it can't be blamed on her not being moral and coming to inform, she just wants to secure her seat.

She and Kristina had a close personal relationship, and Paige knew it.

She came to help Xia Jingxing deliver the message earlier, which had already aroused Paige's suspicion and dissatisfaction.

In order to prove her innocence, she could only betray Xia Jingxing and Christina.

Anyway, Page would not be so stupid as to confront the two of them.

In this way, she pleases everyone on both sides.

"Okay, you go down first."

As soon as Mayer got up, Page smiled and said, "Are you free tonight? Let's go for a drive on the beach. I bought a new RV."

How could Mayer not understand the hint, and said with a smile: "Go home early, Lucy is still waiting for you at home."

Paige spread her hands, "I don't mean anything else, this is really just an ordinary drive, I really miss the time when I drove with you."

Mayer ignored Page, smiled and got up to leave. No matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to show Paige's face.

Seeing the "dinner" fly away, Page was very unhappy and cursed in a low voice.

At this time, the personal phone on the table rang.

He picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar call, so he hung up immediately in a bad mood.

the other side.

Listening to the busy voice on the phone, Xia Jingxing cursed "Peppa Pig", and then continued calling.

He was suddenly a little uncertain. Could it be that Xiaozhu changed his phone number?

A few years ago, Page invited him and the foreign girl to a party at home and gave him a personal business card. Later, the two parties fell out, and he never called Page again.

Page, who was in a fit of anger, heard the phone ring again, thought for a few seconds, and picked up the phone.

"Is that Paige? Me, Darren."

"Daren, what's the matter?"

Paige's voice was cold, and he deliberately acted distant, because he basically expected Xia Jingxing's reason for calling.

"I want to discuss a cooperation with you."

"If it's built-in software on the phone, forget it."

Page was not optimistic about Xia Jingxing's mobile phone project, nor did he think that this cooperation would bring any benefits to Google.

If the other party is willing to give some reasonable compensation, he does not reject cooperation.

"Don't rush to refuse, this phone is unusual."

"Oh, how is it unusual?"

"It can carry Google Maps and designate the Google search engine as the entrance of mobile Internet traffic."

Page smiled, "Daren, this is just the most basic sincerity, it's not a matter of cooperation."

Xia Jingxing scratched his head. If Android's mobile service ecosystem was perfect, he didn't want to chat with Page at all, so he hung up the phone in seconds.

I asked Jerry Yang to discuss embedding Yahoo Mail, and now I am looking for Page to cooperate with embedding Google Maps, all of which provide richer software functions for mobile phones.

The next step is to find Gates and install the IE browser as a mobile version.

In fact, the businesses of these three companies have already overlapped, and they all have services such as browsers, search engines, and mailboxes.

In order not to let one family dominate, he can only choose one partner for one software.

Android is currently in a miserable state. Apart from the development of a few tool software such as players, games, calendars, and clocks, there are no other mobile services.

If there are not enough rich software functions, the attractiveness of mobile phones to users will be reduced by a notch.

At present, no application store has been developed, so we can only seek external cooperation.

For Android, the operating system is open source, and the profit model, except for app store sharing, falls on the app family bucket.

Some software necessary for installation, such as maps, browsers, etc.

In the previous life, Google built dozens of mobile phone software around Android, known as the family bucket, and the purpose was to wipe out the profits of this piece.

Xia Jingxing proposed to install Google Maps and designate Google as the only search engine on the mobile phone, which is actually of great benefit to Google.

It's just that the benefits of this piece will ultimately have to fall on the sales of mobile phones.

Now it is impossible for him to guarantee that Page will sell tens of millions or hundreds of millions of mobile phones.

If you say that, Page will only listen to it as a joke.

At present, it is the eve of the advent of the mobile Internet era, and many things are still foggy and unknown.

He couldn't and couldn't promise anything to Page, so Page thought he was sure of him, and he was doing business completely as a seller's market.

It's a bit hateful!

It's not that he doesn't have weight in his hand, he's just thinking about whether to play this card, whether it will anger Page.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jingxing decided to take it easy, so he said on the phone: "Peppa, the memory of a mobile phone is only so big, it can't install many software.

We are equipped with Google's most important search engine. For you, you can reach more users. This is different from PC mobile traffic, which is an increase! "

Page smiled, "Daren, not to mention that mobile Internet access is not yet mainstream, but how many units of your mobile phone can you sell? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

How much Google can benefit from the cooperation depends entirely on the sales of your mobile phones.

We spend manpower and material resources to develop mobile phone software. If you only sell a small amount of mobile phones, then we are not losing money? "

"In order to make this phone, I have invested a billion dollars. My determination is here. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed."

Xia Jingxing's tone was very firm, and he was telling the truth. He really invested nearly 1 billion US dollars in the mobile phone industry chain.

Among them, the mobile phone company invested 500 million US dollars, the mobile phone industry fund injected 250 million US dollars, and the acquisition of Android cost 200 million US dollars.

Hearing that Xia Jingxing reported the figure of 1 billion US dollars, Page was a little moved. Even in terms of his worth, it is not a small amount to pay such a large amount of money.

It seems that this guy is really determined to make some noise in the mobile phone market.

But does this guarantee success?

Like Yang Zhiyuan, Page was not too optimistic about Xia Jingxing's ability to make a good mobile phone. The market structure of this industry cannot be easily shaken.

"Daren, it's not impossible to cooperate, but you have to sell me the tubing."

Page didn't hide it at all, and directly stated his conditions.

He continued: "Facebook will not be mentioned, let the past be the past. Now that you have split the oil pipe, it can be seen that for you, it is not an inseparable product.

I heard that the oil pipeline has suffered serious losses and is a financial black hole. Selling it to us will just solve this trouble for you.

You can choose the way of merger and acquisition, stock or cash.

The valuation will not let you suffer. Microsoft’s post-investment valuation is 6.6 billion US dollars, right? We accept it. "

Xia Jingxing didn't expect Page to pay attention to YouTube.

After thinking about it for a while, I found it normal that Okut lost the Latin American market, and Google Video was tied for the second echelon with MSN Video, Yahoo Video, and MySpace Video.

It sounds like it is the second echelon. It seems that there is not much difference with the first-ranked YouTube, but the actual number of users is more than ten times worse.

Acquiring YouTube and completely dominating the video field, Page has a good plan.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yahoo has also launched a video service, just like the acquisition of the photo social network Flicker last year, it is also chasing market hotspots and doing whatever is popular.

"The oil pipeline will develop independently in the future and will not be sold."

For Xia Jingxing's refusal, Peggy was not too surprised, and said flatly, "That means we can't reach an agreement."

Xia Jingxing tried to soften his tone and said: "We approached Microsoft and Yahoo, and they agreed to cooperate with us. If Google Maps is not willing to cooperate, then we can only find NAVTEQ (Navteq) for cooperation."

"Oh, hell, then you go find them to cooperate, that's it, goodbye!"

Hearing the busy "beep" voice on the phone, Xia Jingxing rubbed his forehead, and sure enough, this little piggy Peppa was still angered, and hung up on him if he disagreed.

He probably also knows the reason behind this, holding grudges, looking down on their mobile phones, and perhaps trying to manipulate them.

He sighed softly, it seems that he really can only find the backup option Naftek.

But there is something wrong with this company.
