Chapter 1413: Pursuing the Victory
"It's done, it's done." At the end of the day, Schmidt excitedly ran around the company holding a document, which attracted many people's attention. What's the big deal in this?
Schmidt ignored the curious glances around him. He just wanted to run to Page's office as soon as possible and tell him the good news in person. He didn't stop when he passed Feng Yiping's office.
But, he quickly pulled back, like? As soon as he opened the door, sure enough, the two men were in Feng Yiping's office, hugging him to celebrate.
"Oh, yes, Feng, you must have known it right away," Schmidt smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Congratulations Schmidt," Feng Yiping smiled and opened his arms to Schmidt, "the Chinese company did a great job!"
"Congratulations to all of us," Schmidt hugged Feng Yiping very happily.
"Thank you also Feng for your strong recommendation,"
It is difficult to have a perfect marriage in this world, because marriage involves too many factors that are difficult to quantify. However, it is possible to cooperate with each other in a loving way.
Because of cooperation, it is easy to make clear calculations. Whether it will bring 3.1415926 points of profit or 3.1415927 points of profit, you can calculate clearly.
With the efforts of Google China and the strong promotion and endorsement of Feng Yiping, on August 9, NetEase, the most profitable portal website in China, officially reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Google.
After achieving strategic cooperation with NetEase, GOOGLE has finally become the most popular portal web search technology service provider in China.
It should be said that the head of NetEase is indeed the only portal founder who has become the richest man in Feng Yiping's memory. He is indeed a person with very good ideas.
This can be seen from the fact that he always launched email and text messages ahead of his opponents, and entered the gaming industry in advance.
This time, faced with the fact that almost all influential Internet companies in the country were burning money in the search field, he did not blindly follow them, but decided to invest funds in the gaming field, which has broad prospects and already has certain advantages.
For Google, this is the most dazzling achievement of Google China and a great gift to the IPO.
Although the profit brought by this business may not be as much as that of an ordinary customer of Du Niang, such as a hospital, the impact of reaching a strategic cooperation with a portal website of a well-known company like NetEase on Google will naturally be very positive and widespread.
Google's first priority in China is not to make money, but to further expand its influence.
Although this conclusion is not clear yet, more and more Internet companies have vaguely recognized the iron law of "user is king" in the later mobile Internet era.
"Yes, Feng, you did a great job," Page and Brin applauded without hesitation.
This news is one of the few pieces of good news for this IPO, which has been more difficult than anyone expected.
Schmidt let go of Feng Yiping and said to himself, I knew this was the result. However, he has made an adjustment to his mentality in the past two days. Feng Yiping really has no intention and no need to compete with himself, so it is It must be something to unite with.
He also took the initiative to applaud, "I believe that Feng's advertising creativity will definitely bring us a lot of attention,"
"I hope this can be of some help," Feng Yiping said modestly as always.
But he knew very well that the effect of this advertisement would definitely not be bad.
Because this is another classic advertisement he "created". On the NetEase homepage, and of course the GOOGLE China homepage, there is this sentence, "GOOGLE and you will know!"
Sound familiar?
Yes, this advertising slogan is Du Niang’s most classic advertising slogan later, and it was first used by Feng Yiping on Google.
He hopes that our country's own search brand can develop and grow, but he really doesn't want this company to grow enough to form a monopoly, and in turn ignore the interests of the majority of users who support him.
Giving it a capable external opponent is more effective than carrying out internal reforms.
"The underwriters have to be notified of this," Page said.
Everyone turned to Schmidt.
"I'd love to, haha. If this continues, I think they won't worry about underwriting," Schmidt said.
"Yes, so," Page said, "Since the current situation is so good, we feel that giving them two points is a bit too high,"
I knew what I was being asked to do would never be a good thing, Schmidt said to himself.
But he didn't hesitate at all. This kind of thing was just the time to show off his abilities. "Yes, even if we can negotiate 0.1 points, it's still a very considerable fee."
As expected of an old fox, what he said was very good. On the one hand, he had been considering this issue for the company for a long time. On the other hand, even if only 0.1 points were negotiated in the end, it would be a big credit.
Feng Yiping secretly praised in his heart, as expected, it is not easy for the guy who can achieve this position.
It's not that he can't say it out loud, but when Page mentions it, he immediately blurts it out and handles it flawlessly. He really doesn't have such skill now.
"That's right." Page rarely agreed with Schmidt's words in person. He may not have reacted yet, but Schmidt had already paved the way for himself in his words. "Believe me, after tonight, we will You will have more confidence to discuss this issue with them,"
"Where's Amazon?" Feng Yiping and Schmidt asked at the same time.
"Yes, we have made an appointment tonight, I think the result will definitely come out,"
"Do you want me to follow you?" Feng Yiping suggested.
"No," Page patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, "Tonight, many shareholders, including Jerry, will also be here."
Jerry is Chief Yang of Yahoo.
"We think it's best if you have a good relationship with them, man, you don't just have Google,"
Feng Yiping felt warm in his heart. Yes, besides Google, he also had NEXTDOOR, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, etc. It was really hard for him to have too much quarrel with these giants.
Currently, I am pretty good at it. Apart from eBay, my relationship with these giants is pretty good.
When Page and the others did this, they were obviously sincerely thinking about Feng Yiping.
"Thank you," he said since he was one of his own, and he didn't pretend to say it didn't matter.
"Haha, don't worry," Brin said with a smile, "Just wait for our good news tonight."
…………
It was already night time in New York, and on Wall Street, Andrew stood by the window, looking at the copper bull like a tadpole over there, silent for a long time.
The phone on the table rang five times before he picked it up, "Hi David,"
David on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "Aren't you interested?" he asked.
Andrew didn't even bother to answer the question, "What do you think Schmidt wants us to talk about tomorrow after telling us such good news?"
David hesitated again, "I'm afraid, it's probably a cost issue,"
In fact, they also know very well the principle of not reciprocating.
They had forced Google once before on the cost issue, but now that good news is coming one after another, Google, which has been recovering from its previous decline, naturally wants to talk to them about this issue.
"The combined expenses of our two families were close to 100 million, which is actually not a small amount," Andrew said. "That time, it was really a bit too hasty."
Andrew understood that if they didn’t talk to Google about improving last time, Google wouldn’t talk to them about reducing it this time.
"It's a lot, but Andrew, with such a large base, how much revenue can we increase even if it is increased by 0.5 points?" After all, it is all caused by the scale of Google's unprecedented IPO.
"Why shouldn't you try it?" David said.
"Don't forget, they still have a real big problem. The big problem with Yahoo is still unresolved, so you see, they are not really in a very smooth time," David comforted Andrew, who was in a low mood, "We are still Those who have the initiative,”
Just as they were discussing this issue, Page waved his hand to Drummond, Google's chief legal counsel, in Palo Alto, and directly told the Yahoo executives and shareholders across from him his final solution, "I I don’t want to waste too much time on this issue anymore,”
