Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

"Man, you were a little impulsive today," Brin who drove said to Page.

The latter was putting his notebook on his lap at this time, and was engrossed in writing a new plan. The conversation with Feng Yiping just now gave him too much inspiration and he had to write it down.

"Ah, what did you say?" The words that followed showed that he was completely immersed in his own world just now. "As for today's conversation, I think I will write a company's development strategy in these two days, and then ask Feng to help revise it. And perfect,"

"Is this too early? He hasn't agreed yet,"

"He will agree," Peppa showed a shrewd side again. "If you think about it, there are two companies that Feng has acquired and invested in that are related to electronic maps. He is already acting to achieve his goals. ,"

They decided to meet Feng Yiping, so naturally they would not fail to do some preparatory work.

"In the search field, who can be better than us?"

This is not a boast. Google is not without competitors, for example, but, since Google grabbed Yahoo as a big customer from the former's bowl in 2000, this predecessor in the search industry has been quickly dumped by them. Behind him, some other companies of the same type are not rivals of Google.

"In addition, if he is not interested in cooperation, how can he tell us about his idea?"

In front of people who know him well, Peppa is still more selfish and bossy, but he is not at all the bad words in the eyes of outsiders, and even a shy and rigid engineer. He is quick to respond and very wise.

"I know all this," Brin said helplessly, "but, are you sure we don't need to discuss this with Schmidt first?"

"Damn it," Peppa closed his notebook and slammed a punch in the car window.

In August last year, Eric Schmidt officially replaced Page. As Google, this decision was reluctantly accepted by the control freak and paranoid Page.

Because this is an additional condition that they must agree to when accepting Sequoia and investment.

In 99 years. Because of the rapidly growing user scale, Google needed large sums of money to purchase more equipment and recruit more employees, but at the time, they had not even made a cent.

and. When looking for investors, Page put forward a very strict request, he and Brin must maintain absolute control of Google, that is, to retain the majority of the company's voting rights.

Such conditions discouraged many investment companies. In the end, Sequoia and He agreed to this prerequisite and jointly invested US$25 million in them, accounting for 9.7% of the shares.

But they also have an additional condition that they must be subject to adult guardianship. Specifically, it is Page's job, which should be filled by an experienced person.

This is actually the usual method of those well-known venture capital companies in Silicon Valley in order to protect the safety of their investments and their future earnings-as if the latter was an exception.

Many young people are creative, but the lack of experience is always an unavoidable flaw.

When the company was first established. They may be able to manage the company tightly, but as the company grows, the management at this time is for these talented engineers. It is also a challenge.

Moreover, Peppa was only 26 years old and was young. It is inevitable that he would be a bit passionate, impulsive, and sometimes not considerate enough. He should focus his main energy on product development that he is good at, and delegate the management work to professionals.

Page, who was in desperate need of the money at the time, agreed to this condition. However, there were repeated later. After that investment, all became new equipment and employees, and it was not recoverable, he timely expressed the difference to the investor. "Brin and I can manage the company very well."

In fact, it is a remorse without the spirit of contract.

But investors don’t think so. Anyway, it’s been repeated for a long time. In the middle, the investors arranged for Page to meet and communicate with other well-known high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, and finally made him reluctantly accept the idea of ​​hiring one .

By the way, Page's opinion at the time was that if one must be hired, then Jobs is the most suitable candidate.

Haha, this is obviously unrealistic. Although the Apple at this time is not the so good apple later, but the Google at this time is also not the so good Google later, or compared with the apple at the lowest point at this time. At that time, Google was still a child in every way, so I can't invite the great **** Jobs.

By March of last year, he finally decided on a candidate to succeed him, Eric Schmidt of Knoller.

Page was able to accept it reluctantly because this Schmidt was once an engineer and participated in the development of JAVA.

In short, in August last year, Schmidt officially took office, so Brin’s concerns were also right. The personnel arrangements at this level should be approved by Schmidt.

"However, this shouldn't be a problem. I believe Schmidt will approve of your decision after talking to Feng," Brin comforted.

…………

Unlike Page and the two of them, Eric Schmidt always wears elegant suits and his hair is meticulously maintained, which fits the public's perception of the image of a big company executive.

He is 18 years older than the two founders of Google who were born in 1973. He graduated from Berkeley in the early 1980s and has rich experience. In front of these two boys, he has always been very confident and gentle.

"This Mr. Feng, I know something. I have read his blue ocean strategy and I also know that the cloud computing concept he put forward not long ago should be a good young man."

Hearing Page’s request, he said, “It’s just that, as far as I know, he seems to be in his early 20s? Is it appropriate to hire such a young guy as our chief strategic consultant? Also, if I don’t remember Wrong, he seems to be studying in business school, not an engineer?"

"Thinking is more important than age," Page retorted.

But he couldn't answer Schmidt's last question. Everyone in the company knew how unwelcome he was to people other than engineers.

It is Harvard’s MBA or Stanford’s MBA to apply for positions in company management and sales. He will not agree to these positions that do not require programming skills. He also tends to have those who are interested in business, just like him. Those who graduated from computer science will serve.

Brin interjected in due course, "Perhaps, as long as a meeting, you will agree with our views,"

"Hehe, I believe your eyes, I am also very curious about a person with a business school background that Page is so important. Then we will discuss some time and invite him to the company, not that he is also considering whether to accept you. Suggestion? It is also necessary for him to come to the company to feel it." Schmidt said with a smile.

Nearly 20 years of work experience has made Schmidt very harmonious. From last year to now, nearly half a year of contact, he has also grasped the tempers of the two and knows how to get along with them.

"The company can do it at any time, then I will call him immediately and invite him, the day after tomorrow, and come to the company the day after tomorrow," said Page, "I hope to cooperate with him as soon as possible to improve the company's medium and long-term strategic vision."

After a while ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he hung up the phone with a different color, "What's wrong? Did he explicitly refuse?" Schmidt clenched his fists with both hands and knocked on the desk.

"What's the problem?" Brin knew his old partner, his expression was surprise, not disappointment.

"He said that the day after tomorrow will not work. He will accompany his girlfriend to the hospital for routine check-ups. His girlfriend has been pregnant for more than seven months," Peppa murmured, "He should be 22 years old this year, am I correct? He asked Brin.

Brin was obviously also a little surprised. When Schmidt over there heard this, with his fisted hands, he also knocked **** the table, grinning so painfully that he did not move. "You wait a minute. ," He immediately typed Feng Yiping in the search bar and said to the result, "Yibing, Feng, was born in March 1980,"

Holding the mouse, he was also a little confused, "Nowadays, young people in China, are they still so young to marry and have children?"

…………

Feng Yiping didn't know this episode. If he knew it, he would inevitably complain about how these Americans always fail to see their own problems. Please, among you, are there few unmarried mothers under 20? (To be continued.)
