In front of Feng Yiping, Schmidt had difficulty maintaining his original confidence.

Although his relationship with Feng Yiping is not close, compared to Page and Brin, Feng Yiping has always been easy to communicate with.

Before this, Feng Yiping had eased the relationship between him and the two founders many times.

This is the first time he has seen this side that Feng Yiping presents today.

Feng Yiping's repeated replies forced him to think about a question solemnly. Am I really too optimistic and too taken for granted?

At this moment, Brin was biting Page's ear, "Do you think Feng has been assimilated by us now?"

Page nodded repeatedly. Feng Yiping's aggressive and pressing step by step now was becoming more and more like the Google people's original style when they were in meetings.

So, don't expect these two guys to help the two who are arguing to ease the current tense atmosphere. To be honest, they all want this atmosphere to be a little more tense.

As Google's stalls grow bigger and bigger, and with more employees, the original ruthless, quarrel-like and offensive conference style had to withdraw from the stage of history, but to be honest, they still missed it a little.

"Feng, you drink a little water first," Schmidt did not answer Feng Yiping's question. He stood up and helped Feng Yiping get a bottle of water.

He needs more time to organize his language.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping caught the soft ladder.

He actually didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with Schmidt.

The relationship between Google's senior executives is not very harmonious, so it is better not to follow the trend in such matters.

"Sorry, I'm a little excited," he said.

"It's okay, you should actually take a break first," Schmidt said quickly. "Flying for more than ten hours in a row, and with your personality, most of these ten hours must be working again. It's so lucky to be a little harder,"

Well, Brin looked at Page helplessly, and there was no chance to watch the good show.

But they were a little relieved. At least two of the four most important people in the company could be so restrained, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Feng, I admit, what you said makes sense. I should have taken it for granted, but I thought so. In any case, if we can acquire Baidu, it will always be beneficial to us. So I think, as long as it is possible, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is still OK to try it out. What do you think?"

His tone was much gentler at this time, which was far from his wealthy appearance before.

"If we can acquire it, it will naturally be very beneficial to us. Of course I agree with this," Feng Yiping nodded. "But I still have a concern. Thinking about Semer coming to us for a quote, at least I took his offer as a joke."

"So I'm a little worried that talking about the acquisition with me at this time will leave the same impression on me,"

As for possible government opposition, he did not mention it.

First of all, mentioning that possibility can only lead to the other three present having a bad understanding of our government.

Secondly, in many aspects, our government is actually more enlightened than we imagined in related aspects.

As we all know, the telecommunications companies in our country were dismantled from the original post and telecommunications parts. Whether it is the original Ministry of Post and Telecommunications or the early stages of development, many of the equipment and software we purchase are purely imported.

As long as the Wolf Factory agrees to be acquired by Google, Feng Yiping believes that there will be many ways to adapt, such as the most important thing is to comply with domestic laws and regulations, and store relevant data in China.

That is to say, the largest shareholders of domestic Internet companies, except for Feng Yiping and Lao Ma's company that merged with him, including Wolf Factory, are all foreign-funded.

The largest shareholder of Wolf Factory is the famous venture capital Defengjie.

Page spoke, "I think Feng's concerns make sense. Robin shouldn't choose to sell his company at this time," he said.

"We go to offer him a quote at this time, and it is indeed possible to leave him with a negative impression of arrogance and arrogance,"

"That's possible that's going to affect the image of our company," said Bryn.

He remembered it very clearly that when Semer brought a group of Yahoo people to offer, and raised the offer again and again according to what he and Page meant, he felt that it was really a stupid behavior.

It should have been from that time that he lost his awe of Yahoo.

"Everyone's concerns are indeed very reasonable, but I still stick to my own opinion. I think it is necessary to try it in the face of the benefits brought by the acquisition. So, you see, I went to contact Robin in my personal name and emphasized that all this is because of my personal opinion. Let's see how he reacts?"

"I think, yes, Feng, what do you think?" Page asked.

"I have no objection," Feng Yiping also felt that there was no need to object.

Although there is ambition to make some achievements, Schmidt's starting point is indeed considering Google.

"That's it," Page made the final decision.

"So, I think I have to make this meeting as soon as possible," Schmidt said with a smile.

He turned on his computer, "Feng, do you think you need a rest now?"

There is also an agenda? "No, I'm very energetic now," said Feng Yiping.

"Next, what I want to talk about is another acquisition, which is also related to our business in China,"

"We all know that in August last year, Baidu acquired an online navigation website, which is this one," he said, pointing to the screen on the wall of the conference room.

Feng Yiping is very familiar with that website, hao123.

"Now it seems that this is a great decision. This website has brought them a lot of traffic and made many people get used to using their searches,"

"Fortunately, there are still good choices in China. I have compared it. 265.com is a good choice,"

Sorry, this is the first time Feng Yiping has heard of this.

"Wait," Paige and the others paid less attention to this aspect before. He and Brin quickly clicked on the two websites, but after reading for a while, they said in confusion, "This website does not seem to have any technical content?"

"It's true," Feng Yiping looked at the documents prepared by Schmidt, combined with his own understanding, and explained it. "We all know that in the past two years, the number of netizens in China has grown rapidly, and more and more people have begun to surf the Internet,"

"This includes some netizens who are old and cannot remember the website URL, and some netizens with a low level of education. Of course, the main force is young people who are too lazy to enter the website URL, so such a website is indeed not technical, but it is good that it is simple and easy to use and can effectively save time."

"Feng's analysis is correct," Schmidt had no objection to Feng Yiping's words. He knew very well. Similarly, after Feng Yiping said it, Page and Brin were more acceptable.

"The most important thing is the search box on this website, which is a powerful tool to expand our popularity and improve user stickiness,"

"Baidu's success also strongly proves this. According to the data I have collected, search requests from this website have accounted for at least 10% of Baidu's search volume,"

Page and the others were silent, "That's more than 7% of China's search share?"

"What was their acquisition price last year?" asked Bryn.

Schmidt flipped down a few times, "50 million yuan in cash, plus an unknown amount of stocks,"

"Given the influence of 265, it's not as good as hao123, I think we should be able to acquire this website for about $10 million," Schmidt said with some excitement.

"Feng, what do you think? You are most familiar with the situation in China," Sure enough, Page began to ask Feng Yiping's opinion again.

For Google today, a $10 million acquisition is really nothing, and if you spend $10 million, even if you can occupy a few points in China's search market share, such as half of those 7 points, or less, or 2 points, it is also cost-effective.

"In China, there is no doubt that such a website can indeed bring us a lot of users," said Feng Yiping.

"But I'm not sure if 265 can make a huge improvement in our search business like 123,"

"There are mainly several reasons. First of all, according to my impression, the promotion of hao123 has a lot to do with the Internet cafes in China. The information prepared by Schmidt confirms this. The founder of hao123 was once an Internet cafe administrator. Maybe because of this, in many Internet cafes in our country, the website hao123 is forcibly promoted as a preset page for booting,"

"This has allowed many netizens to come into contact with this website when they first went online. They are used to this website. 265, and they do not have such advantages."

"Secondly, after being acquired, the promotion of hao123, many times, how to say it, it is like a rogue software. After you download and install a software online, you will find that your homepage has been changed to hao123 without realizing it."

To be honest, as for Feng Yiping personally, for a long time, he treated 123 as a rogue software. Every time he changed the homepage back, he felt so annoyed, and he would be tampered with it if he was accidentally tampered with it. He was so annoyed.

Page frowned. He naturally wouldn't like this method.

"There is another point. According to the habits of our domestic users, many of the people we searched for have a study abroad background. They may not need such navigation websites," he said.

Feng Yiping didn't want to say this, but there are indeed many people in China who will use similar habits to show off their extraordinary nature, such as using Google instead of Baidu, using MSN instead of Penguin...

Of course, as a search service provider, you must cater to users' habits. For these users, if you give them a navigation website, it is very likely that they will be disgusted.

It is roughly equivalent to opening a stall with fried dough sticks in their high-end residential areas, which will affect their mood too much.

"But, I have to admit that Schmidt has found a good direction and if it works well, it will indeed be a big boost to our search business,"

Schmidt was very happy. In short, Feng Yiping expressed his affirmation, at least he would agree with his previous proposal.

"We also need to consider another aspect. Such a website can also effectively promote our other products," Feng Yiping added.

"So, strategically, seems feasible," Page said.

"The problem is the implementation level," said Brynn.

"In any case, we naturally would not use bundling methods to promote such a website," Schmidt said. "But such products will undoubtedly meet the needs of some users and allow some users to access our searches. Moreover, this is also a profitable website in itself."

"So I think this proposal is worth considering," Page said something that made Schmidt happy and looked at Feng Yiping again. "But in the end, it should be decided by the Chinese company."

"Yes, I also think that colleagues from Chinese companies have the most say," said Feng Yiping.

Schmidt did not hesitate, "I agree,"

He believes that he can make Chinese companies accept their proposal.

…………

"Feng," Feng Yiping, who ended the meeting, followed when he walked out, Schmidt followed, "Thank you just now,"

"Don't be polite, that's what I should do," Feng Yiping stopped.

Schmidt is indeed more thoughtful than Page and the others, but objectively speaking, he does have his difficulties, and he is indeed very attentive to Google.

That's enough. Schmidt happily accompanied Feng Yiping for a while, "I'll stay for a few days this time. If you have the chance, let's go out to sea together."

"No problem, but now I have to go back and rest,"

"Haha, it's time to go back long ago, so let's make another appointment," Schmidt smiled and patted Feng Yiping on the back.

He didn't even come to see me? Mayer, who was standing in front of the office window, looked here.

Seeing Feng Yiping walking out, she quickly called, "Hey,"

"Let me go to the roadside first," Mayer said.
Chapter completed!
