Chapter 1425 Take It Easy

In circles in some places in the South, a saying that later became widely spread has become popular, "One hundred thousand poor households, one million is not considered rich, and one million is just starting out."

To the general public today, such a jingle is still quite advanced. However, there is another meaning in it that is applicable to everyone, that is, when you rise from one level to another, you are not the same. An easy thing.

This is just like many civil servants who may have been wasted below the rank of section chief all their lives, or who have been section chiefs for more than ten years but have not been promoted to division chiefs when they retire.

The same is true in terms of wealth. We don't even talk about hundreds of millions. We only talk about from one hundred thousand to one million, and from one million to ten million. It only takes two sentences and two hurdles, but these two hurdles have become the life of many people. An insurmountable hurdle.

It's easy to get one hundred thousand, but it's hard to break through one million. It's even harder to break through one million to ten million.

From tens of millions to hundreds of millions, it can be said that there has been another qualitative change. This is a goal that most people cannot achieve in a lifetime of hard work.

As for tens of billions, it’s still US dollars. This is a goal that makes most billionaires feel desperate.

But for Feng Yiping, this is not a problem at all. To outsiders, he seems to be cheating. It is so simple and smooth to get to where he is now, with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, he was really cheating.

So now when he looks at the reports about "the youngest billionaire" on the Internet, he really can't get excited at all.

Chief Financial Officer Jorge Reyes sat in the last row of the SUV and came to the conclusion directly without looking at any data, "At the current stock price, this listing has added more than 1,000 millionaires to the company. Feng You It seems that our first masseuse, Brown, might also become a millionaire? You are right, she already is,"

"Really?" Even Page was a little surprised by this news. "I remember that Brown seemed to be part-time at first?"

"Yes," Brin recalled, "it seemed like a weekly salary of $450, plus some options. We must have just moved out of the garage at that time. She was probably the fortieth employee, so the options were good, and she was more Love options,”

Some things are unavoidable. Even in Silicon Valley and companies like Google, employees' income actually has a lot to do with their seniority.

Feng Yiping can imagine that, like other start-up companies, these two guys were very poor at the beginning and had no clear concept of the future. They may not even be sure whether the options will be useful in the end. In order to stay For the sake of the stability of the team, they must be quite generous to the few employees.

"This is the legend," Feng Yiping said sincerely in his heart.

I can only say this in my heart. If I say it publicly here, it would be suspected of discrimination.

In China, the profession of massage, to be honest, is just regular massage, and it is not a profession that can be promoted on the market.

But as we all know, unlike in China, masseurs like Brown are roughly equivalent to the blue-collar class in the United States, and many blue-collar workers in the United States actually have higher incomes than ordinary white-collar workers.

"There are 8 billionaires in total. If we compare it to the global rich list released by Forbes at the beginning of the year, the three of you will directly enter the top 50 in the world,"

"Okay, okay," Brin interrupted him, "Creating millionaires is not the original intention of our IPO. We are raising funds this time for the development of the company."

"You're right, I don't want to be in the company parking lot and see a lot of luxury cars all at once. If there are any, I will see one smashing one after another," Page said.

The car they drive now, like the heads of many Silicon Valley high-tech companies, is a Prius.

But, let’s say you plan to buy a 767. Isn’t this luxurious enough?

You all plan to buy a big plane, why don't you let those people below change their cars?

"From the perspective of wealth creation alone, as long as everyone remains calm and does not sell their own stocks, I think that in a few years, our top 20 employees will all become billionaires," Feng Yiping said again The words are astonishing.

"Really?" A whole car of people looked at him, and Mayer's eyes were even brighter. She was one of the former No. 20 employees. She had a clear understanding of the difficulty of reaching a personal wealth of 100 million. know.

"I don't expect this to be a problem," Feng Yiping said affirmatively.

"Haha, since Feng said so, I believe it will definitely come true." Others were still a little doubtful, but Page had already put his arm on Feng Yiping's shoulder with a smile.

He believes that what Feng Yiping said is not a random fabrication. He believes that what Feng Yiping said is based on his clear and correct understanding of the development trend in the next few years.

The airport has arrived, and Brin got out of the car first. YouTube employees clearly recorded his words, "Guys, the IPO has been successfully concluded. Everyone probably has a vacation plan. I can understand that from the beginning of the year to now, We are not relaxed, but it is not time to relax yet. We can sleep on the plane, but when we return to Silicon Valley, we have to come up with a new plan immediately,"

Because he was not in the company, his words were very vague, but everyone in the car knew that the new plan he was talking about was a plan to spend money.

This IPO, which has left everyone exhausted, has raised so much money that it is not just for them to sit on their accounts and watch.

The media has asked about the purpose of the raised funds more than once, but they have not given a clear answer, because the purpose of these funds needs to be kept confidential.

They have long decided that most of this money will be used to purchase computers, servers, and expand and build new data centers.

Last year, the company invested $200 million in these projects, and this year it is expected to reach a huge amount of $2 billion!

In addition to allowing users to get results faster, the main purpose of these investments is naturally "cloud computing".

Yes, Google is not only doing search now, but also selling ads. The huge investment in data centers implies Google's ambition to become the next Microsoft.

Is it only allowed that you, Microsoft, are eager to make a move on search, and I am not allowed to try to copy your back road?

"Okay, let's think while we sleep," the people who got off the car behind also heard Brin's request. No one showed impatience. Everyone pulled their suitcases and looked eager to try and couldn't wait to do a big job.

However, these guys are now very wary of each other. There is no way. Funds are always limited, and everyone wants to get some of their own stalls.

Feng Yiping liked this atmosphere very much. They were not pretending. Although they were also happy for the company's IPO and the increase in their book wealth, they could treat the IPO as an ordinary working day in the afternoon after the IPO was completed in the morning. Feng Yiping hoped that the employees of his domestic companies could also have this attitude.

Feng Yiping blushed a little. He took the time to send a message to Huang Jingping, "Don't come to the airport to pick me up, because I have to go back to work as soon as I get back."

Alas, I am a little ashamed. He thought he was dedicated and calm enough, but he didn't expect that these guys were more ruthless than himself.

…………

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, without flowers or applause, Silicon Valley quietly welcomed the triumphant return of Google and others.

At this time, Nasdaq had closed. Google was the most popular stock traded today, with more than 15 million shares traded throughout the day, close to half of the total issuance.

However, the results were gratifying. As of the close, the stock price was fixed at $176.32, an increase of more than 18% from the issue price.

This data is neither high nor low, just within a reasonable range, which fully demonstrates the scientific and accurate pricing of their products.

Of course, Page and his team are even happier that they finally didn't let the Wall Street guys take advantage of them.

After filming them going back to the company and entering the conference room, Ma Ling also took people to film a scene of employees working in the Google campus. The overall feeling is that everyone is a little excited and proud, but other than that, it's no different from usual.

They also deliberately filmed the computers of several senior employees, who are now worth more than a million. The camera clearly recorded that their computers did not have the window that is common on the computers of employees of many other listed high-tech companies - real-time stock price dynamics.

"Go back to the company and upload it immediately," Ma Ling said.

Google's IPO has successfully concluded, and their live broadcast has also come to an end.

She is very sure that this last segment will greatly increase the click rate of this live broadcast.
