Chapter 1426: Leading the Way

On a summer evening, Stanford was under the blue sky and white clouds. Feng Yiping couldn't quite appreciate the buildings with red walls and yellow tiles scattered among the green trees and grass. Under the reflection of the setting sun, they looked really magnificent.

Also very wealthy.

It is really rich, because the two people at Google gave Stanford 1.7 million common shares to thank Stanford for helping them. Today, the value of these shares is close to 300 million US dollars.

No different from other universities in the world, Stanford is the busiest time in the evening.

On the lawn, under the palm trees, in the cloister... and by the small lake, tennis courts, rugby fields, horse farms... and golf courses have welcomed many people.

These people are not all students at school, but the issue they are talking about now is the same as the message they left on Facebook today, which is Google.

Following HP, Yahoo, and eBay, Google has become a new pride for Stanford people today.

Hahn, who was in the study group at Feng Yiping Business School, was driving a golf cart with several golf buddies at Stanford Golf Coures on the hills.

This is the most upscale of the several golf courses in Stamford, and naturally there is a fee.

Of course, for Hahn, who has a small net worth, this is nothing.

They stopped at the fifth hole and laughed and joked about how many shots they could hit today. In fact, the purpose of their activities was not to play golf but to communicate.

Networks are resources, and Hahn has joined many such relatively fixed small groups.

When a well-built man was swinging a golf club, the man next to Hahn also made his first pot of gold in the Internet field. Now he has not started a business. While enjoying life, Stevenson has been looking for investment opportunities. , talked about the hottest topic today with some emotion.

"Do you know who I envy the most about today? I envy the young Chinese guy the most. He really got a ride to the largest gold mine in history. Tsk tsk. In return, even the guy from Omaha I feel inferior to myself,"

The man in Omaha is naturally Mr. Buffett.

"Come on Stevenson," Hahn still had a say in this matter, "is it as simple as you think?" he said.

"I can't really see any reason other than luck," Stevenson said.

"Lucky?" Hahn couldn't help but shook his head, "Although Mr. Feng is very young, everyone who has been in contact with him knows that his views on many things will be beyond your imagination. Haven't you seen Read their book? Don’t you know how hot cloud computing is right now?”

"Have you not noticed his increasingly ambitious business operations in the past two years? Haven't you seen how many people appreciate him? Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Bezos, Starbucks' Schultz, etc. The one with McDonald’s,”

"Why do you think they treat him so differently?"

"I know that he may have some Eastern-style insights in business, which will surprise many people," Stevenson was afraid that he would be blinded by envy, jealousy and hatred, and was unwilling to deny his own views, "But Tell me, he himself has said many times that he knows nothing about code. So apart from the original investment, what did he bring to Google? "

"Yeah, he knew nothing about code, so Google made him director of strategy," Hahn said with a hint of sarcasm.

The topic they were discussing attracted the attention of several others, who simply stopped playing and watched their argument with interest.

"How can a person who doesn't even understand the most basic technology have any insights into future strategies?" Stevenson was still stubborn.

"If his description of future development didn't impress Page and Brin, would they accept his investment? Right Sam," Hahn said to the fit golfer who just swung the golf club.

Sam, a fit man from Dune Road, works for a venture capital firm.

"The investment was sudden, and we don't know the specific process, but it is said that Sequoia's Moretz and KPCB's Doerr were helpless. We can speculate that the two very shrewd and talented founders of Google were obviously very They are eager for the help that Mr. Feng can provide them," Sam analyzed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Judging from the position he holds, I think Hahn's statement is reasonable. Looking at Google, after Mr. Feng joined, many actions have been much faster and more determined. Since last year, Google has expanded the company's scale and developed so many products. Perhaps, these are all related to Mr. Feng,"

Sam concluded his analysis.

Someone immediately echoed, "Yeah, it seems that when it was discussing cooperation with Amazon, it made suggestions to Bezos, and Bezos actually agreed later. This shows that he really sees the future development of many industries. Very accurate,"

"It's just a general direction. Can't Hahn and I also have such a vision and successfully avoid the Internet bubble?" Stevenson simply pulled Hahn over.

“I didn’t have the vision to impress the two guys at Google, or the advice that Bezos would pay a lot of money to listen to,” Hahn said.

"Besides, if you look at the projects you have developed, whether it is NEXTDOOR, Facebook, or YouTube, which one of these is not admirable? Why don't those of us who understand technology see such a direction?"

"Who can guarantee that the future development of Feng's projects will not be as good as Google's?"

Hahn's words almost pushed Swensen into the corner, "This..., this..." He kept saying this for a long time, but he couldn't form a complete sentence.

“I think that even if Mr. Feng’s strategic help to Google is not mentioned, he is also responsible for the success of this IPO. It can be said that this IPO was not favored by many people. It was only after the Hong Kong road show that a fundamental turning point occurred," said a stock commentator.

"And the reason why the road show in Hong Kong was a huge success was naturally because of Mr. Feng. For this reason, he is fully worthy of such a reward."

It should be said that this is one of the few reliable stock commentators. Although the reasons are not sufficient due to limited information, the answer is undoubtedly extremely correct.

As a stock critic, the most important thing is the answer.

Since Stevenson can achieve today's achievements, he naturally has two brushes. Seeing the overwhelming support of Hahn by the people present, he laughed twice, "It seems that among the people present, I am the least informed. It turns out that everyone has such a deep understanding of Mr. Feng,"

What he said was very beautiful. It wasn't that he had any objections to Feng Yiping, but that he didn't know much about him.

"However, it seems that Mr. Feng, Hahn, is the one you know best? Do you admire him very much?" He brought the topic back to Hahn and set up a slight stumbling block.

Americans, who founded their country on commerce, are very proud of their business. It is certainly not popular to worship foreign businessmen.

"Feng was the first undergraduate exchange student in our business school. The year he was an exchange student, he and I were in the same group," Hahn said leisurely.

"Oh," Stevenson was stunned. This was really good luck.

Sure enough, the others immediately asked, "Hahn, can you find an opportunity for us to meet Mr. Feng?"

People like Feng Yiping now mean opportunities and resources. To be honest, even Stevenson is jealous of such resources.

"With special approval from the college, Feng can continue to complete his graduate studies at the business school, and I am his contact person at the college." Hahn, who originally had a high level of vision, was naturally proud of having such a connection with Feng Yiping. "I think there should be an opportunity,"

Stevenson really regrets it now. Why didn’t he choose to study at Stanford Business School? As a result, Hahn encountered such an opportunity.

"Congratulations, Hahn," he smiled and prepared to give Hahn a high-five, "Don't forget me then,"

He seemed to have completely forgotten his initial attack on Feng Yiping.

Hahn did not high-five him, but took out his phone from his pocket, "Hey Jenna, are you online now? Thank you?"

"The last segment of Google's IPO live broadcast is online. Do you want to watch it?"

"Of course. This kind of thing is rare. Let's go back to the club." Everyone didn't even want to play the ball now.

"Yes, you have to take a good look," Stevenson, who was vaguely excluded from everyone's circle, followed him sternly.

Hahn also had some enlightenment. With a leader like Feng around him, there was no need to participate in so many groups.

…………

After YouTube's efforts, the last video was finally uploaded before get off work, and then the number of clicks started to increase.

The American people are also very curious about the emergence of such young rich people. They have seen the unusual youthfulness of these two prestigious young people during the IPO process that is different from other business leaders.

Now looking at their performance after returning to Google after the IPO, their favorability is also rising sharply.

The indirect result is that many people immediately decided that it seemed that they could hold on to their Google stocks for at least a while longer.

That young team can still be so calm in the face of such a result, which is something that many people cannot do.

Just like many people learned from Page’s letter to the SEC that they had many unpleasant persistence, such as the dual structure of shareholding, and their consistent opposition to large dividends, etc., the reasons behind these seemingly inappropriate persistence Stories, so that you can understand them and like them. Although this last video is dull and not as exciting and nervous as the scene on Nasdaq, it is even more precious.

It turns out that they are such rare young people! It turns out they are such a rare team!

Under that video, there were a lot of messages.

Many people not only left messages, but also recommended it to their friends, and even asked their troubled children to learn from it... In this way, even Ma Ling did not expect that the last part he shot would trigger another incident. A nice piece of viral marketing.

…………

"Dad, congratulations," Feng Yiping returned home and was warmly welcomed by Huang Jingping and her daughter. Amanda, wearing a princess dress and holding a bouquet as tall as herself, stood at the door to welcome her father on his triumphant return.

"Thank you, little darling," Feng Yiping held her in one hand and the flowers in the other, and walked home with Huang Jingping on his arm, "Did you also watch the live broadcast?"

"Yes, I also saw Dad on the computer. Mom said, Dad is great,"

"Haha, because you are great, and mom is great, so dad is great," he put his daughter on the sofa, taking off his tie and taking off his coat as usual.

"Wait a minute," Huang Jingping held his hand, "Don't change yet, just wear this, Leticia, come and take pictures for us,"

"I want to take pictures,"

"Of course, today is such a memorable day," Huang Jingping helped him straighten his tie.

"Then shoot," Feng Yiping cooperated.

Yes, although there is no need to hold any celebrations today, it is still okay to take photos as a souvenir.

When the scene changed to outdoors, Feng Yiping saw the dining table in the backyard, "It's so rich!"

"Of course, I have to reward my man well," Huang Jingping hugged his waist, her eyes full of happiness.

Leticia captured this scene in time.

"Wait a minute," Feng Yiping took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Hello Randolph,"

Randolph was very excited over there, "Hello Feng, I have some good news for you...,"

"Another good thing?" Huang Jingping asked Feng Yiping who hung up the phone.

"Yes, Randolph said, because of the live broadcast of Google's IPO, not only did the number of YouTube visits surge today, but the number of registered members also surged,"

"Haha, double happiness. Congratulations to you Yiping, you are awesome!" Huang Jingping, who is already a mother, hugged Feng Yiping's waist and jumped up and down.

He is truly the man he pursues at all costs, he is so outstanding!

Even after seeing Jin Ling almost confess his love to Feng Yiping that night, the unstoppable heartache has also faded a lot. Such a man will definitely be fatally attractive to many women.

Thinking about myself now, I am actually lucky enough.
