Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Bing, which accounts for 20% of the U.S. online advertising market share, has surpassed Google in advertising revenue for the first time. Besides, Google has no major traffic entrance except for on-site advertising revenue.

Time enters May,

{Time: May 17-20, 2005}

{Location: United States-California}

"I think the so-called men's rights and women's rights do not exist, because the commonality of these things is actually 'discrimination', and the most essential thing is called interests. For example: race, gender, religion, academics, etc., which one corresponds to x rights?

Behind one thing is not 'discrimination' or 'interest'. If we simply look at superficial things, we will never solve the problem one day..."

While Ning Zimo was elaborating softly, Dave Goldberg quickly stood up and went to refill his coffee.

He left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.

Along the way, he felt that his ears were still in the living room.

It wasn't until he sat on the sofa again that he leaned there with peace of mind and continued to listen to Ning Zimo's words.

Sheryl Sandberg glanced at her husband who was in a hurry, and in the gap that Ning Zimo could leave, she smiled at the husband opposite, "During those two times when Ning came here just now, weren't you not interested in the content of our chat.

"

"That's because you talk a lot about the Internet industry, and I can't quite understand some of the pure technology." Dave curled his lips and said, "But recently, your topic has changed from industry to religion, from religion to humanities, and then from

Humanities to sciences.

There are so many things, and listening to you chatting is like looking at the whole world from a philosophical perspective. This topic of looking at the world from a different perspective really attracts my interest."

While Dave was talking, he handed the newly brewed coffee to Ning Zimo.

"Thanks, Dave." Ning Zimo took a big sip without ceremony, and then shrugged, "Actually, my taste buds have never been able to distinguish the fine differences between various types of coffee beans. All this time,

I only use acidity to define a type of coffee.”

Dave laughed loudly, and Cheryl also pursed her lips and laughed.

After a while, Dave stopped laughing and said, "I think the girl who made you coffee may have been the same person at a certain time. Because if the girls who made you coffee were two people, I believe

You can tell the difference they make to you."

Dave raised his eyebrows deliberately when he spoke, and the emphasis on the word "different" made Ning Zimo dumbfounded.

"Please, I feel like I'm still a child..."

"Hahahahaha, how can there be a 22-year-old kid!" Dave said happily, "Look at the topics you and Cheryl have talked about in the past. If you cover your green face, we will even think that

You are someone who has experienced half of your life."

Dave looked Ning Zimo up and down, and Ning Zimo suddenly felt new helplessness.

But before he could finish digesting Dave's words, Sheryl Sandberg on the other end raised her chin at Ning Zimo and said:

"Ning, after you left our house for the third time, Dave told me sourly at night, 'I think you two are having a great time together as if you were in love.'"

"Isn't that right? When we were in love, we were not as happy as when you were chatting with Ning..."

Sheryl Sandberg and his wife said something to each other in front of Ning Zimo, revealing all the things he said about the couple when he was not present.

-_-#

If he hadn't gotten to know what kind of people this couple was during the past few weeks, Ning Zimo felt that he would be embarrassed to death. Fortunately, this kind of joke has appeared many times in the past few weeks.

.

He can now face this couple calmly.

…

On April 18, Ning Zimo "accidentally met" Sheryl Sandberg at a cocktail party where Myspace signed a cooperation agreement with Google. From that day on, Ning Zimo began a long, roundabout "poaching" that was like falling in love.

"process.

After meeting Sheryl Sandberg, Ning Zimo takes one or two days every week to visit Sheryl's house.

At first, he just discussed some Internet industry topics with Cheryl. But slowly, Ning Zimo discovered that both Cheryl and his wife were very open-minded and wise people.

They talked freely about art, science, humanities, nature and even philosophy. Therefore, this roundabout "poaching" actually gave Ning Zimo a sense of pleasure in talking freely about life.

If he hadn't reminded himself of the main purpose of coming to Cheryl's house every time he left and arrived. Ning Zimo was really afraid that simply talking about life insights with Cheryl and his wife would destroy his mind.

But, fortunately, when they were chatting, there was always Dave, a person who thought he had a good taste.

Cheryl knew the purpose of Ning Zimo's visit three weeks ago, and she did not refuse to contact Ning Zimo. This made Ning Zimo somewhat aware that this executive must have something to hide in Google.

But Ning Zimo was not prepared to mention it, he had his own way.

…

"When I was at Paypal, I was a senior engineer born in technology. Before being promoted to Paypal's coo, I only stayed in the position of product manager for less than half a year.

When I sat in the coo position and experienced how it was different from product managers and senior engineers, the most profound thing I realized was that I needed to consider all aspects in a comprehensive and far-reaching manner.

That is not a function or a module. It is the profound significance that an entire product can bring to users and the industry when applied in the commercial field.

From that time, I gradually discovered that some people are excellent managers and can manage large organizations; some people are good at analysis or focus on development strategies," Ning Zimo said with a smile. "These two qualities usually do not exist in the same person.

I prefer the latter. Therefore, I always hope to have more outstanding managers who can manage my companies well on my behalf."

After Ning Zimo slowly brought the topic back to the main topic, he said to Cheryl again, "This is also my belief that I have become more convinced after getting to know you better.

Now I feel more and more that you are a manager who is better at management than me, and I must leave these two companies, YouTube and Facebook, to you."

Although there are many projects in hand, Ning Zimo cannot show them all in front of Sheryl. After all, this executive is still working at Google.

Moreover, for an executive of her level, the resignation will not take effect immediately. Broader progress will have to wait until Sheryl actually leaves Google before we can talk about it in detail.

Ning Zimo finished speaking and waited with a calm expression. Although he would leave the United States in less than two weeks, he believed that he could get the answer from Cheryl before leaving this time.

Cheryl also looked at Ning Zimo with interest. She admired the 22-year-old young man in front of her very much but he behaved indifferently.

Through the meetings and conversations in the past few days, she had a more detailed view and sense of the young man in front of her who created Skype at the age of 19 and created the legendary story of 5.6 billion Internet at the age of 21.

She could see that something unknown seemed to be gestating behind his eyes.

She didn't know whether it was a lake, a sliver of ocean, or a vast expanse.

But she knew that the places he could see were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

His desire for her is no less than her husband's desire to pursue her in the first place.

Cheryl smiled at the thought, "Ning, if I were younger, even 10 years old, everything you showed would probably make me want to pursue you before you show your sincerity~~"

"This is your character..." Dave laughed.

Cheryl and Dave looked at each other and held hands together while talking. Dave didn't mind at all what his wife just said, and Ning Zimo could only eat the bowl of hot dog food.

Dave held his wife Cheryl's hands and said to her: "Go ahead, I think you have been moved by Ning. Besides, since you can't get better development at Google, why don't you try another job?"

What's the possibility?"

Turning to look at Ning Zimo, who was in a daze, Dave smiled and said, "Man, I've handed my wife over to you. You want her to express her passion to the fullest. This is what she has always expected."

"Give me some time, Ning, let me use the last half of my time at Google to give full play to my final light and enthusiasm~~" Cheryl tilted her head and smiled playfully, but there was some reluctance hidden in her eyes.

The mentality of a strong woman and the appearance of a little girl.

Adult reluctance also has a different look.

But what else is there to say?

"I will," Ning Zi nodded silently to Dave, then turned to Cheryl and said, "I'll wait for you!"

At 21:00 on the evening of May 20, when Sergey Brin walked into the office of his old friend Larry Page, he found his old friend sitting in his seat with a dejected expression.

Even when he knocked on the door and came in, there wasn't much response.

Seeing the messy files on his desk, Sergey sighed helplessly and walked over to help him organize the files on the desk into categories.

Until he packed up a resignation letter, Sergey just picked it up and looked at it, and then continued what he was doing.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Larry Page suddenly said, but his tone was doubtful, but he didn't seem to have much strength, "Man, the most capable manager we attracted in the first place is about to leave us.

Already."

Sergey glanced at him and said calmly, "Man, Cheryl is an excellent manager, but we can't give her more space now."

After a pause, Sergey glanced at his puzzled old friend and explained, "Think about it, since the emergence of Bing, how much thought she has spent on changing our decision-making from acquiring and developing new businesses to developing new ones."

Traffic channel upward?

Genius Labs, Pisa, and even Google Maps, we want to add new business to Google by acquiring new companies every time.

But we never thought that at that time, we were no longer the only one in the market, and there was Bing behind us. So, we actually didn’t have that much energy to take into account the new market.”

Sergey spoke very slowly, but he completely drew his old friend's attention to him.

Seeing that he was listening carefully, Sergey said at the right time, "When we need to focus on our competitors, we actually want to develop new business, and even talk to our vice president who is far-sighted in operations

The lady had many conflicts.

We have always felt that she hindered our far-sighted plan, but as you have seen for more than a month, who insisted on cooperating with MySpace and pulled our Google back from the trough of declining business?"

Looking at his old friend who suddenly froze, Sergey Brin sighed again and then said calmly:

"Just let her go, Larry~~ We are no longer the absolute leader in the search industry. We are now suddenly a lonely force without allies in the United States."
