Five hundred and seventieth chapters are everywhere
His eyes swept across the faces opposite him. He was very familiar with these faces, and there were two of them, who were once idols of him and Bryn, or in other words, the idols of many people at that time - the two who were known as the "chief".
It was them who truly opened the curtain of the Internet era; it was them who laid the foundation for the Internet to change the world; it was them who determined the two most core game rules in the Internet industry: openness and freeness.
They also attended the conference today.
Seeing the two people attending today's meeting, Page actually felt a little unreal, and I believe that the same is true for Brin next to him.
Once, in 1997, when they first tinkered with BackRub, the prototype of Google, they did not have the ambition to change the world through this technology. They just wanted to make some money and spend money through this technology and complete their studies in school first.
The only ones they met were the two alumni, who only offered $1 million.
The idol rejected them!
He came to Blockbuster when he was in trouble with internal and external affairs, and made the other party feel rejected when he was rejected by his idol. The feeling of Page and Brin is probably equivalent to a guy who thinks he is very tall, rich and handsome, who mustered up the courage to confess to his favorite goddess. As a result, the goddess treats him as a joke.
After that, they naturally reacted like most men. I had to make a name for themselves and make her regret it!
Now, Page glanced at Brin and they did it!—So, you should not be afraid of middle school, just because you are afraid that middle school has skills.
Page only stayed on the two faces for a second or two. At this moment, he truly felt that he had stood at a new height and could look down at the height of the person he had to look up to before.
Google, who was born in the first place, had to look at the faces of these people for a long time. After taking over Yahoo's search business, they begged the two founders opposite to give a speech at their company, but were mercilessly rejected. The Yahoo staff member who received the Google call was told by his boss to firmly reject Google's similar requests.
But now, he talks to these people in a tone like talking to engineers in his company, and they are engineers whose work results make him dissatisfied with them - he is also a little deliberate.
It is conceivable that the group of people opposite him had a bad look, including the two founders who always had high smiles on their faces.
They could see the contempt in the eyes of the two boys opposite, because the two guys didn't hide their emotions at all.
At this time, Yahoo's market value has dropped sharply from US$128 billion in 2000, but it is undisputedly true that it is still one of the largest Internet companies in the world. From 2000 to now, it has always dominated the world's number one Internet rankings, and it is still the existence of giant bulls and giant bulls.
Otherwise, in the original time and space, the richest man later would not have tried his best to establish a relationship with Yahoo and Chief Yang next year.
It should be said that no one can despise them like this now!
But before they could express their dissatisfaction, Page was already continuing to elaborate on his final solution. "My final solution is to allocate 2.5 million shares," he said with his hands on the conference table, staring at the other party, "that is, at least more than $300 million, agree that we will sign the agreement immediately, and this question will turn the page."
"Don't agree," he adjusted his sitting position and leaned loosely on the back of the chair. "Then let's fight this lawsuit for a few more years. I just happen to think that the Ministry of Justice is too many people now and there are too few things."
For companies like them who have people who have money and influence, it is normal to fight such a patent lawsuit for several years without any results.
The Yahoo people also quickly came out of their anger just now, thinking about the short sentences that Page said.
Drummond, the legal counsel next to Page, couldn't help but look at Page. Although he knew that Page's reason was probably just saying it casually, he still wanted to explain a few words, "Boss, why do you have such an impression? Our department is really not easy. We have been busy until the heels hit the back of the head, okay?"
But where would Page have the time to pay attention to him?
"Yes Semer, you heard it right," he said to Yahoo CEO Terry Semer, who was about to speak. "You know, Brin and I have never wanted to IPO at this time, so there is no better way than this obstacle," he said.
Will this be true? The Yahoo people, their eyes are like searchlights, concentrated on Paige and Brin's faces.
From today's situation, we can see how much they value this matter.
Since the Internet bubble began and the company's market value has dropped sharply, Yahoo has actually been quite impatient and has spent huge amounts of money to acquire many startups in order to inject new vitality into the company.
However, those huge acquisitions were only one result that they were unwilling to admit, and that was a cup of a coffee table - a full tragedy!
The acquired companies not only did not inject new vitality into the company, but instead, after becoming Yahoo's subsidiary, these companies that originally seemed to have a bright future soon declined.
Among these failures are the search engine company they acquired for $1.63 billion last year, namely Overture, which has a patent dispute with Google.
They originally wanted to compete with Google's AdWords in a close competition in the advertising market. Unfortunately, even with the Yahoo platform, Overture still failed to do Google in advertising.
Not only is there little advertising revenue, advertisers are also generally dissatisfied with the advertising effect, which can be said to have entered a vicious cycle.
Fortunately, unlike other acquisitions, Overture can make a fortune from a patent lawsuit that is difficult to explain to Google, and that the father is right, and that the mother is right.
And it happened to be their acquisition last year, and Google is going to IPO today. What a great opportunity?
So, would Peppa say that he doesn't want to IPO true?
Facing their burning gazes, Page was completely unafraid. He looked like a bachelor. I just didn't want to IPO. If you want to help me, then come on!
The second-year bachelor, he is not easy to guess. At least, everyone in the circle has heard of their opposition to listing.
Helplessly exchanged views with everyone with their eyes, Semer said, "I think we have to discuss it,"
"It just so happened that we wanted to go out for some breath,"
When they stood up, Chief Yang spoke for the first time, "Sorry, why didn't Feng come today?"
Page was stunned for a moment, "Feng is not responsible for these matters," he still tried to clear Feng Yiping out of this matter.
"That's right," Chief Yang nodded, "That's a very outstanding young man, I'm really looking forward to meeting him,"
His demeanor was pretty good. Whether he commented on Feng Yiping or expressed his desire to meet Feng Yiping, he didn't show any high attitude.
It should be said that Feng Yiping’s outstanding performance recently is also an important reason for his statement.
"Jerry, I will definitely tell Feng your words," Paige turned around and prepared to leave when he saw that he had no explanation. At this time, Chief Yang waved again, "Wait,"
However, his lips moved a few times, and finally he said, "It's okay,"
Page really wants to ask this, this will look a little lonely. What did you do with his former idol?
Chief Yang originally wanted to say, are you willing to be acquired? However, he wisely did not say this, so he should not humiliate himself.
Google just wants to sell it now. Can you afford it yourself? The answer is yes, I can't afford it!
Yahoo is not Yahoo, which had a market value of over 100 billion yuan before.
It seems that some things are really something that I missed and will never come back.
At the beginning, they wanted to sell at a bargain price, but they didn't like it. Now they want to buy it, but they can't afford it. The most painful thing in business is this!
Chief Yang suddenly became so depressed that he was extremely depressed.
…………
Unlike the frustrated and solemn inside, the two guys in the lounge next to him are so active that they can't even sit still.
Page shook his shoulders, "This feeling seems to be relaxed all of a sudden, sublimated."
Thinking about the two former idols now, Brin shook his head, "So strategy is very important,"
"So Feng is very important," they both said almost in unison - such drift was really something Feng Yiping could not have imagined.
Why are the two great gods who were once admired by thousands of people no longer shining? The main reason is that there is something wrong with their development strategy.
"Tell him the good news soon," said Page.
He is sure Yahoo will accept his final solution.
Ten minutes later, the group was invited into the conference room again. As expected, the rest of Yahoo were gone, only Semer and several lawyers were there.
"I know!" Page and Brin saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
Over there, Semer had reached out to them, "Congratulations!"
By the way, Page was ready, they bargained and finally added 200,000 shares to them.
…………
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Feng Yiping, who was still processing emails in the study, saw the caller ID on his mobile phone, and he smiled and couldn't even speak. Page's voice that could not hide his happiness came over, "Feng, everything went well. They really accepted our conditions and the agreement was in our hands."
"Haha, I believe you will definitely solve this problem. I will come to the company to celebrate your achievements tomorrow morning."
Well, now, IPO is finally not a problem.
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, in a classroom in Fudan, a professor named Lang from Hong Kong was giving a speech to dozens of ordinary people, "If this is the model of our Chinese private entrepreneurs, then I really want to cry for China's future."
No one knows whether the professor really wants to cry, but David and Andrew arrived in Silicon Valley at noon the next day. As soon as they got off the plane, they really wanted to cry.
The two of them were so energetic and full of fighting spirit that they had just walked out of the boarding bridge. The phone they had just opened up quickly. When they saw that the company didn't care much, but after answering the phone, both of them looked ugly.
"f%uck," Andrew lifted his suitcase a few meters away.
"I won't pick it up yet," he got angry at an assistant beside him, and questioned David without hesitation, "Is this what you said?"
David was so depressed that he wanted to throw his phone, "Andrew, I couldn't have imagined that they would solve this problem so quickly."
"I should have thought of it for a long time," Andrew looked ahead, "David, there is one thing we don't pay attention to. Do you remember that their browser was uninstalled as a virus by Microsoft? In less than two days, Microsoft launched a patch for that vulnerability, which is Microsoft,"
David did not respond, dragged his suitcase and walked out silently. Now, what's the point of saying this?
…………
They were still warmly welcomed by Google. Since entering the Google Park, everyone greeted them with a smile, but they were not happy at all.
Schmidt also stood at the door of the conference room to greet them, "Sorry, let the two of you run again, please come in quickly,"
As soon as the two sides sat down, he smiled and went straight to the topic, "In view of the changes in the current situation, my friends who signed with me don't have to worry about the problem of underwriting. Then I think some of the conditions at that time are about to be revised," looking at the bitter faces opposite, Schmidt felt quite proud now.
So this afternoon, Schmidt once again ran a joyous rush, and the result was still the same as last time. He found the three of them in Feng Yiping's office, "Haha, do you know the final result?" He waved his hand excitedly, "Only 2.8%, the two of them have always agreed to give 0.2."
"Yeah!" The three of them immediately slapped him in high-highlights, but Feng, "Feng, what are you still worried about?"
Chapter completed!
