Chapter 1381 A Difficult Request

If you ask a hundred companies about competition, they will definitely respond in unison, "We welcome more partners to enter this field, and we are happy to work with them to make this pie bigger,"

"We welcome competition, competition will make us progress, and then promote the progress of the entire industry, so that we can better serve our users,"

If you look at their public statements, you will feel that the old saying "competitors are enemies" seems to have no place to survive in modern society.

Of course, even the most naive people will not believe all these words.

Because people are selfish by nature, as a "legal person," the same is true for companies. Everyone hopes that there will never be a follower in the field or industry they are engaged in.

As for the various adverse consequences that may be caused by the monopoly of a single company in this field, no one will think there is anything wrong with it, at least it will be smaller than the problem of a large group of competitors chasing after them.

They also have the confidence to use various mechanisms to eliminate a series of problems caused by monopoly.

Therefore, although they have repeatedly expressed their views on Google's real entry into China, welcoming them to bring diversified services and provide users with more choices, and repeatedly emphasized their own advantages, repeatedly emphasized their confidence in a calm tone..., they look very generous, very modern, very confident, and very responsible for the public.

In fact, whether it is the words of welcome or the words emphasizing their own advantages, to be honest, many of them themselves do not believe.

Especially the management, no one feels relaxed during this period, and the number of people working overtime in the office building has gradually increased.

They also have some opinions about the main customers, Jiasheng, and Feng Yiping, who have always cooperated smoothly. Have you considered our feelings?

Didn't you say that you are looking forward to seeing some world-class companies appear in our domestic Internet companies? How can you help the Americans deal with us like this?

Don't you know that you are making it more difficult for us to become world-class companies?

However, they can only mutter these words in their hearts and dare not express them.

That's Feng Yiping!

Besides, because the cooperation with several portal websites has reached a deadlock, their own life is not easy now, how can they offend Feng Yiping again?

Has Feng Yiping considered their feelings?

Yes, he has.

But Google's entry is inevitable, and he just brought it forward a little.

Besides, what did they do later?

They all did search. Google later developed artificial intelligence, explored Mars, unmanned driving and other cutting-edge fields, while they were keen on bidding ranking and advertising for hospitals..., except for making money, it was still making money.

It is really necessary to let a strong competitor like Google always be by their side, so that they can't live the good life of being the only one in the store bullying customers, and let them understand that their first task is to serve the majority of users and satisfy the majority of users, not the other way around.

So that they will not only stand up and say that they must "never forget their original intentions and live up to their dreams" after scandals occur.

…………

Google naturally attaches great importance to this biggest Chinese rival, but their mentality is much more relaxed now, because no matter what the result is, entering China is a success, and entering here is equivalent to entering the opponent's backyard.

Every time a new user is added here, their strength will be one point stronger, and correspondingly, the opponent's strength may be two points weaker.

Because this biggest rival in China has not made any moves in Google's backyard.

"This is really an ancient and young city," Schmidt said, looking out the car window.

Feng Yiping felt that compared with Silicon Valley, Schmidt had a different demeanor on his face at this time.

It may be because he was finally physically away from the influence of Page and Brin.

Of course, it is not that no one can restrain him here. Although he rarely asks about specific matters, Feng Yiping has always had more say than him on the big issues of development direction.

But compared to Page and Brin, Feng Yiping is really much gentler. At least he respects him and doesn't often say things that make Schmidt want to turn over the table and leave.

"So, there are huge opportunities here, right?" Feng Yiping said.

"It is indeed a huge opportunity," Schmidt couldn't take his eyes off the window. "I now have the most intuitive understanding of China's large population," he said, looking at the crowds on the streets and alleys outside.

"Do you know what I want to do most now?" He looked at Feng Yiping and asked.

"I guess, let them all go online?" Feng Yiping smiled.

"Yes," Schmidt turned his eyes to the outside of the car again, "I have read the report. Although at the end of last year, the number of Internet users in China was close to 80 million and the number of computers connected to the Internet exceeded 30 million, compared with your total population, this is still a very low proportion."

This is of course a very low proportion. For example, the number of Internet users with larger data is also less than 10% of the total population.

"But you should see two encouraging aspects," Feng Yiping said, "First, the number of Internet users last year increased by more than 20 million people compared with the year before, an increase of more than 30%. Don't you feel excited about this momentum?"

"Secondly, the low proportion now just shows that there is huge potential. Conservatively speaking, we have 1.3 billion people, and eventually more than 300 million people, which is equivalent to the total population of the United States, will become Internet users. Is this a difficult goal to achieve?"

"I have to say that this is a very conservative goal," Schmidt said with some pride, "If China's economy continues to grow at the current shocking speed, with the natural progress of various Internet-related technologies, I think it is not impossible for your country to eventually reach an Internet penetration rate close to or exceeding 50%."

"That is not only equivalent to the population of our country, but also an astonishing number that exceeds the permanent population of the entire Europe."

He was right. His two predictions were certainly realized later, but the mobile Internet contributed a lot to this.

"Don't go to the hotel, go directly to the company first," Schmidt said.

"Okay," Feng Yiping said, looking at this man who was full of energy at the moment.

He couldn't help thinking that if Page and others could give him more autonomy, he should be able to perform better.

…………

In the Google Building, more than 300 employees who were notified warmly welcomed these relatives who came from afar on the first floor.

Schmidt, who was still full of longing and excitement, was very adaptable to such scenes. He not only greeted the management team familiarly, but also often pointed to an employee in the welcoming team and said, "Hi Peter, we had a video conference," "Hi Angie, we talked on the phone,"

His demeanor at the moment completely overshadowed the legendary Google's No. 1 beauty Mayer.

However, the latter didn't have the mind to care about those things at the moment. She was secretly competing with Feng Yiping, who was standing in the crowd with her hands folded and smiling. When she got here, the guy deliberately kept a distance from her.

Feng Yiping had to say that this was also a helpless move. Although he didn't know what the cause was, he found that Huang Jingping was more concerned about some things now than before.

In front of the crowd, the impromptu speech was coming to an end, and Schmidt applauded with everyone, "Feng, come up,"

"Mr. Feng, welcome, welcome," the people around him also pushed him up.

"Just now on the way here from the airport, Schmidt and I discussed the future of my country's Internet," Feng Yiping couldn't refuse the kindness, so he had to say a few more words.

"When we think that in the future, the number of Internet users in our country will exceed the population of Europe and more than twice the total population of the United States, we can't help but get excited,"

"So colleagues, the future is bright, so for a bright future, let's embrace the present, embracing the present is embracing the future,"

Hearing the applause, Feng Yiping waved his hand, "Embracing the present means going to work hard, everyone,"

"Haha," this young richest man is really as humorous as the legend.

The employees laughed and dispersed, and Schmidt was accompanied by Feng Yiping to visit the building with great interest, "Feng, after visiting the heads of relevant departments, I want to go to our respected opponent to take a look, okay?"
