Chapter 384 It's Just a Beeping Dog!
the next day.
Zucker came to Google.
Today is undoubtedly a landmark day for Google, which is only a year old.
Just today, Google will formally sign a cooperation agreement with Yahoo, the giant company of Internet portals.
Looking at the crowded live press conference, Zucker was also a little excited, and said to Alexander: "Alexander, do you know what today means?"
"The cooperation between Google and Yahoo means that the development of Google will enter the fast lane." Alexander responded.
"More than that!"
Zhu Ke said solemnly: "Yahoo chose google as the default search result provider. Since then, google has developed into the world's largest Internet search engine. This day will not be far away!"
Hearing this, Alexander was immediately shocked.
The world's largest Internet search engine? !
Just by virtue of this name, the future Google will be enough to become a company with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars.
Of course, the vast majority of people on the scene did not believe it.
"Let's lie to the ghost~"
A nearby middle-aged man whispered and scolded: "Ten billion companies? Now who doesn't know that Internet stocks are junk stocks, and the decline of the Internet is the general trend."
A photographer echoed: "Even if it is possible to achieve this day, the changes in technology are changing with each passing day, and no one can guarantee that Google's search technology will always occupy the leading position."
The voice was small, but Zucker heard it really.
Want to refute?
Totally unnecessary!
If everyone can have an excellent vision, then Zucker is still a shit!
Looking at the current market environment, there are not a few search engine companies in the United States.
but!
Why did Yahoo choose Google's search engine?
google search engine,
Its technical content is currently the most advanced! Moreover, in addition to the fact that the user coverage is not as good as other companies, its technical level is definitely several steps ahead of the same industry; at the same time, Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin also have a clear plan for technical upgrades. improvement of.
"We are ahead of technology!" Larry Page.
"We are not afraid of anyone who is more developed than the follow-up technology." Sergey Brin.
In this Internet bubble, Yahoo!
The market value of more than 45 billion US dollars has now lost more than half of its market value in just one month.
Yahoo is in a hurry!
Yahoo's executives and shareholders were desperate to save the slump, when Larry Page, Google's chairman and chief technology development officer, personally came to seek cooperation.
I have to say that while Larry Page is a technology development officer, he is also a wise businessman. In just 5 hours, he persuaded nearly 80% of Yahoo's executives and shareholders to reach an agreement. cooperation agreement.
In fact, Yahoo originally wanted to buy Google.
However, Yahoo, which is deeply immersed in the Internet bubble, is now more than enough!
The press conference has begun!
Witnessed by the media, David Filo, one of the founders of Yahoo, signed the contract on behalf of Yahoo; Larry Page of Google, closely followed, also signed his name .
Immediately, there was thunderous applause.
The next time is naturally the interview time.
David Ferro and Larry Page have become the focus of today; Zhu Ke, as the "Little King of Venture Capital" in the new era, is naturally the object of pursuit by media reporters.
"Mr. Wald, congratulations on your successful investment in another Internet company." Female reporter Harsha congratulated.
"Thank you!" Zucker responded.
The female reporter Harsha asked: "It is said that in July 1999, you acquired a 30% stake in Google with an angel investment of $1 million. It's multiplied, and it's worth $30 million. How did you discover Google's potential in the first place?"
How did you find out?
to be frank?
NO!
Now is bullshit time!
"The first thing you need to know is that I am a student of Stanford University. Stanford University and the University of Michigan are sister schools. When I learned about Larry and Sergey's entrepreneurial deeds from their mentors, I was very sure of their courage. So, I had an idea at that time, I want to see them, choose to help these young people with dreams, and the next investment, you all know." Zucker said.
The female reporter Harsha was speechless.
Other reporters at the scene: "......"
At this moment, they felt that Zu Ke was really shameless.
Zucker's resume, as reporters, they are naturally quite familiar with it.
"Isn't he just a high school graduate. How did he get into Stanford University, didn't he have any points in his heart?" a reporter whispered.
"That's right. If he hadn't donated $5 million to Stanford University, Stanford University would have admitted him? What a joke!" a photographer pouted.
"It can't be quite the same."
The reporter from the "California Entertainment News" retorted in a low voice: "Mr. Wald's admission qualification was bought, which is not wrong, but Mr. Wald's desire for knowledge, we have no right to refute, and even choose to support. "
Thirst for knowledge?
Go to hell!
The reporters around couldn't help but scolded: "California Entertainment News is really Zucker Wald's hardcore dog, shameless!"
No matter what they say or think, they are still very envious and jealous of Zucker;
After all, Zucker made a big profit by investing in Google.
Similarly, although Zucker paid for Stanford University's admissions qualifications, whoever donated money to Stanford University would accept it? The reason why Stanford University identified Zucker as eligible for admission was also because of Zucker's enormous and unprecedented success in society.
Moreover, Zucker studied management at Stanford University, and he did learn a lot.
......
Google's development entered the fast lane, even when it attracted a number of venture capital firms.
One of them is a very well-known venture capital firm, and the company's boss is named: John Doerr.
John Doerr, known as one of the "Four Kings of Venture Capital", was originally the sales director of Intel Corporation, and then successively invested in Netscape, Compaq, Amazon, Netscape, Intuit, Lotus, Symantec and hundreds of other Internet companies.
Among them, among the Internet companies he invested in, as many as 167 companies were successfully listed on the US stock market.
In the original time and space, he invested in Google at a price of 12.44 million US dollars. This investment has made him more than 300 times in the future.
The name of the Four Heavenly Kings of Venture Capital is not a vain name!
Larry Page was very excited and said: "I think John Doerr's investment is completely acceptable. He has a huge network and contacts in the Internet field."
Sergey Brin disagreed.
"You're so impatient, man!"
Sergey Brin retorted: "Our current priority is to seamlessly enter the search engine of Yahoo's corporate portal and expand our capabilities, not to accept investment from outsiders."
"This..." Larry Page was speechless.
Zucker sided with Sergey Brin: "The company is not short of money now. Of course, even if it is short of money, there is still me. I can even lend the company a sum of money with zero interest. Don't say yes. $100 million, $200 million, $300 million, I have no problem at all.”
John Doerr, you die first!
Zucker does not exclude John Doerr from entering Google. After all, his strength in the Internet field can indeed help Google. However, Zucker does not want him to take a share of the pie prematurely.
......
at the same time.
FuGuo bank.
"what?"
"Zuke Wald, the boss of Standard Bank of California, who clearly rejected our offer? And he's thinking of taking a stake in our Wells Fargo?"
The executives of Wells Fargo are very upset at the moment, and they are simply beeping dogs.
Even if the acquisition is unsuccessful, others are still thinking of buying shares in them, which can be imagined.
" "The first more sent.
