The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide

What Zhou Xin said belongs to the advantages at the strategic level, and there are still many difficulties to be overcome when it comes to the implementation level.

It is completely unknown whether Google can really surpass Yahoo in the number of users when there is not enough Internet content and Yahoo can meet the needs of users.

However, Zhou Xin's words still inspired Larry Page very well, he applauded: "This is a way out.

At present, advertising is indeed the only means of profit in a short period of time. We are currently recruiting a sales team to sell Google's advertising. "

Zhou Xin stayed at Google all morning, until the end, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were noncommittal on whether to accept Zhou Xin's investment.

Said that since they have received a round of financing before, whether to accept his investment still needs to be discussed internally.

After leaving Google, Wu Shiqiang realized that this trip to Google might have failed, and the other party's rhetoric was obviously an excuse.

He seemed a little frustrated. Even an Internet company with such a small scale and uncertain market prospects is not easy to invest in if you want to.

"It's nothing, investment itself is a two-way consideration, and entrepreneurs don't take everything.

I dare not invest in entrepreneurs who take any money.

Google is a very good company, and it is normal for them to have their own considerations.

We have another person to meet in the afternoon, and we'll talk to him then.

And what I didn't tell you is that the investors behind Google include Bezos. After Bezos heard that I want to invest in Google, there is a high probability that he will tell Google not to let me invest, and he is willing to put the money I want to invest. Vote again for Google. "

Wu Shiqiang asked curiously: "Do you have conflicts with Bezos?"

Zhou Xin shook his head: "It's not a big contradiction, but I poached Amazon's chief financial officer away not long ago."

Wu Shiqiang said helplessly, "Then I understand.

In that case, why did you go there yourself? "

"Just to see if there is a chance. If there is a chance, I still want to get involved."

"Robin, I have always heard that you are the most technically accomplished Chinese in the field of search engines in Silicon Valley. It is a pleasure to meet you this time."

That's right, what does it matter if Google doesn't accept investment? Even if you are reborn, can you still be stumped by this little thing?

At this time, Robin was working at Infoseek in Silicon Valley and had not yet returned to China to start a business.

As a native of China whose popularity in Silicon Valley is second only to Jerry Yang, Robin has heard of Zhou Xin and experienced Zhou Xin's products.

When he received Zhou Xin's email, he was very interested in meeting him.

After all, in some media, Zhou Xin was hailed as the best product manager in Silicon Valley.

Of course this has not been recognized yet.

"Hello, I heard you are the best product manager in Silicon Valley."

Compared with Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Robin's temperament is more inclined to Sergey Brin, that is, the style of a purely technical man.

But Robin is much more outgoing than Sergey.

"I'm much older than you, and I'm also Master Yan. When I was still working for others, your business was already very successful.

This makes me as a senior very ashamed. "

Robin graduated from Yanda University with a major in information management, and then went to American to study for a master's degree and stayed in American to work.

"There is an element of luck in it.

More importantly, the entrepreneurial atmosphere in the entire San Francisco Bay Area is very good, and the environment is very important. " Zhou Xin said.

He didn't go around too much: "Robin, do you have any idea of ​​starting your own business?"

Zhou Xin knows that Baidu will not be weaker than Google in terms of search engine technology in the early days of later generations. Robin has a technology called hyperlink analysis in his hand.

And he not only created ESP technology at Infoseek, but also created an image search engine.

The image search engine of the early last century.

Among the founders of the three BAT companies, Robin is the most skilled person, which is why Baidu has continued to invest in research and development in the field of AI in later generations.

Not only because Baidu has no other way to go, but also because of Baidu's founder culture.

After thinking for a while, Robin also realized that this was an opportunity.

Why do the Chinese run back to Huaguo to start a business instead of staying in American? Isn't it good to start a business in Silicon Valley?

It is not because it is difficult for Hua Guo people to get initial capital to start a business in Silicon Valley.

Google can get one million, but it doesn't mean that the Chinese can get it.

The Chinese can only get investment from American if they say they go back to China and do a business similar to that of a certain company in American.

This is a very practical factor.

In fact, Robin had the idea of ​​starting a business very early. He registered the patent of the hyperlink text in his own name, which was also a preparation for the later start-up.

He has no money, but Zhou Xin has it.

Working in Silicon Valley, Robin still heard a lot of rumors.

"Of course there is. Working in Silicon Valley, who doesn't have an entrepreneurial dream."

"Robin, I just went to Google today, a search engine company, you can check their website.

Can you judge whether you can reach their level technically?

If possible, I would like to participate in the original fundraising as your angel investor. "

For Zhou Xin, wouldn't it be nice to let Robin start a business in Silicon Valley and compete with Google?

Why let Robin go back to Huaguo to build a Chinese-specific version of the search engine to harm the fellow villagers.

As for Robin not returning to China to start a business, Huaguo does not have a search engine, which is even more worrying.

Bing, Sogou, and 360 Search have never been a minority of companies that want to eat the cake of search engines.

This is true with Baidu, let alone without Baidu.

Robin brought his laptop. He took out the laptop and gestured, "Let me take a look. I can make a preliminary judgment in ten minutes."

Zhou Xin showed a helpless expression to Wu Shiqiang who was sitting next to him, and he didn't expect that Robin is so unreasonable now.

"No problem, I looked at Google's and it's also based on web link analysis technology.

Web pages are searched by keywords.

Of course, the found pages will be sorted, and the pages that are more in line with the user's desired search content will be put forward.

Technically speaking, all I can say is that it can be done.

But whose technology is better, it is difficult to compare, I have to get Google's source code to calculate.

Purely from my personal experience, the effect I can achieve will definitely not be worse than Google. "

Robin answered two questions, one is that it can be done, and the other is that it is no worse than Google.

In this way, Zhou Xin was relieved: "You can think about whether you want to start a business and whether you plan to accept my investment.

I am very optimistic about the search engine field, this is an opportunity.

Yahoo is just a temporary giant. In fact, there are many loopholes in it. I think we can completely replace it with a search engine company.

I know that Yahoo is more of a portal website, and it is the outlet for users to enter the Internet ocean.

But in my opinion, search engines are actually more suitable as an outlet to the sea. "

Robin replied: "I need to discuss it with my wife and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

At the end, Zhou Xin asked in a wicked way: "If you start a business, what do you plan to call it?"

"Baidu, let's find out what he means by thousands of Baidu."
