Chapter 1678 Are You Coming Up?

The night is as cold as water, but the Google campus looks no different from the daytime. The brightly lit windows and the shadowy figures behind the windows fully illustrate this point.

If you go in, you will see that the office area is indeed the same as it was during the day. Some people are working selflessly in front of the computer. Some people are drinking beer in the game room and playing the newly released World of Warcraft. In the lounge, of course, there are also people in hammocks. Or sleeping soundly on the sofa.

This is a park where there is no difference between day and night.

The two billionaires are also working at this time. For them, there is no concept of overtime.

Brin was concentrating on typing lines of code into the computer. Someone put an open can of beer on his table, "Want a can?"

Naturally, no one else dared to interrupt him so casually. He checked the time, but it was only after nine o'clock, "Are you ready to go home?"

After confirming a live-in girlfriend, the benefits are naturally great, but the rights and obligations are indeed equal. When you want to, you can have someone with you, but when you don't want to, you can't always let someone stay alone in the empty room.

Or you just come home when she is asleep, and when she wakes up, you are already gone - this is no different from leaving her alone in an empty room.

The two of them still have to fulfill their obligations now, so naturally they can no longer go home whenever they want like they did before - at least not often.

"I just couldn't get into the groove," Page said.

So you're here to harass me? Brin wanted to say something to this guy.

But he only glanced at it and could no longer complain.

His old partner was lying on the sofa with a beer and looking out the window. The residual light from the desk lamp shone on him, looking a little confused.

"Is something wrong?" He leaned on the table, picked up the beer and took a long sip.

"Nothing," Paige shook her head.

Brin said nothing.

Sure enough, Page immediately asked, "Do you think Feng will go well tonight?"

Brin was silent for a moment, "We all know Feng's persuasiveness,"

"Yeah, it's such a good location again," Page turned to ask Brin, "Do you have the same idea as me?"

"What?" Brin pretended not to understand.

"Although there are many reasons why we should agree and support Feng's request this time, we can't help but worry that we will let go of a rare employee who will create great benefits for the company in the future. You will be like this Do you want to?”

"Yes, we all know that Feng has good taste," Brin did not directly answer Page's question, but his words clearly showed that he had also been worried.

This is indeed inevitable. Who made Feng Yiping have such good vision, and this is the first time he has asked for someone?

If he were an ordinary person, how could Feng Yiping speak?

Schmidt had this idea that day, so he strongly advocated rejecting Feng Yiping's request. The two of them gave many reasons at the time, but for many things, sometimes you can give thousands of reasons to convince others, but Chances are you still can’t convince yourself.

Since Sandberg is so valued by Feng Yiping, she is by no means a simple person. However, they are not yet able to judge how extraordinary she will be.

"The problem is, we can't refuse," Brin said. "If we refuse, Feng will have some opinions. You see, he took the initiative to do everything we asked or did not ask before, and he did it very well. "

"In addition, we also know that as long as Feng is determined to recruit people, it is useless for us to refuse,"

"It's impossible to suddenly promote Sandberg directly. Even if such a proposal can be passed, wouldn't it be too targeted?"

"Yes," Page agreed, but why is it always a bit unwilling?

"Well, this question should be viewed this way," Brin seemed to have thought of something.

"What should I say?" Page sat up.

"First of all, there's no way Sandberg is a computer genius, right?"

Of course, since she studied economics, she couldn't be a genius in this area.

With Google's preference for engineers, how could they possibly bury a computer genius?

"Feng hopes that she will serve as COO, which is a management position. In the end, Sandberg will become another Schmidt at most - I have to admit that in management, in many things except product development, the old Schmidt’s ability is indeed good,”

Page nodded. Although he had opinions about Schmidt, he actually recognized Schmidt's ability.

"So what's the big deal, we already have a Schmidt," Breen said.

After hearing this analysis, Page really felt much better. Yes, he already had Schmidt, so it really wasn't a big deal to let go of someone who might be as capable as Schmidt.

Although he most prefers Jobs to be the CEO of Google, it is obvious that Sandberg cannot be another Jobs, at least she will not have any outstanding abilities in design.

Otherwise, Feng Yiping would not have assigned her to Facebook, but to Tesla.

"Furthermore, Sandberg is only an executive-level person, and do we currently lack people with strong executive capabilities?"

Page shook his head, why is this missing? He also always felt that there were too many non-engineering executives.

"What we lack most now is a partner with excellent strategic vision like Feng,"

"Yes," Page was completely relieved at this time, "Hey, have you noticed that Feng has put a lot of pressure on us without us noticing?"

"That's true," Brin said.

Otherwise, how could they have the time and energy to dwell on this matter for so long?

"But are we still afraid of pressure?" he said.

Page laughed and patted Brin on the shoulder, "Did Feng know that we would figure it out, so he didn't make it clear?"

But Feng Yiping had already made it very clear, "I think Sandberg is very good, and I want her to come and help me,"

After these two guys were generous, they thought of Feng Yiping's good vision and were reluctant to let her go.

"I don't know, but if there is such a thing in the future, just ask him directly to make it clear, so as not to waste so much of our time,"

"What do you mean by later? Ask him tomorrow to make it clear," Page pushed Brin out the door.

Brin, who walked to the door, looked at the employees who were still busy, and seemed to remember something, "Why should I come out? I'm in the right state,"

…………

On the other side, Sandberg was obviously quite moved by Feng Yiping's prediction.

She is currently only focused on the advertising business, and will not think about the future development direction like Feng Yiping, so Feng Yiping's description has a greater impact on her.

This also allows her to understand Feng Yiping's ability very intuitively.

Feng Yiping also saw this point. Although Sandberg was quite tempted, it was obviously still not enough. Coincidentally, he knew what this lack was.

"Let's focus on this. Now, I think you chose to come to Silicon Valley from the political circle of HSD, and you must have the dream of changing the world,"

"Our Facebook has already achieved the connection between people through technology, that is, we are changing the world through our own efforts,"

"But our project is just to make communication between people more convenient and faster? No, I think it is far more than that!"

"After joining, you will soon find that our development will change many aspects in the future, although this change may be slow,"

"For example, looking at the world, those influential media are either controlled by the country or by capital. Most people don't actually have the opportunity to speak, including the United States, right?"

Sandberg nodded. As a person who has worked in international organizations such as the World Bank and the political circle of HSD, she naturally knows this very well.

"Will Facebook also bring changes in this regard?" she asked. "Of course," Feng Yiping said affirmatively, "As a public platform with a large audience, it can naturally provide many people with an opportunity to let more people know their ideas."

Sandberg was not like Feng Yiping, who knew that Facebook would have so many fans later, even more than the total population of some countries, so he was a little puzzled.

"For example, there are many stars now, such as MJ, who already have more than 3 million fans. These people all over the world are very concerned about MJ's dynamics. So do you think that a dynamic he posted on Facebook has more audiences than most of the world's daily audiences?" Feng Yiping explained.

"Oh, yes," Sandberg finally reacted and complimented, "Feng, you too,"

Feng Yiping's number of Facebook fans has also exceeded the one million mark.

"In the Internet age, not only celebrities and people like me who are somewhat famous will be followed by netizens. In the future, there will definitely be many ordinary people who will become Internet celebrities for some reasons and then attract countless fans. In other words, in the future, more and more people will have their own influence similar to that of the media - I define it as self-media,"

"The advent of the self-media era will naturally break the monopoly of the government and capital on the media, allowing the public to have more right to know, and therefore, it will inevitably push our society and our world towards a better direction,"

"Similarly, on this platform, charity and other activities can also be carried out efficiently..."

"I understand, I understand," Sandberg said with a smile.

It's good to understand!

This recruitment of such executives really needs to talk about these things that sound very empty, such as changing the world. There is no way, because many Americans in the first world just buy into this?

Because most people in the third world must first make themselves live a happy life. For example, people in China who are the same age as Sandberg, who was born in 1969, may have worried about not having enough to eat when they were young, while Sandberg should have been worried about getting fat at that time...

Of course, they also value career development and salary, but it is best to talk to them about the macro dream of changing the world.

"So..." Feng Yiping was about to ask her answer directly. He believed that Sandberg would definitely say "yes". Dave came in with two cups of coffee. "Mr. Feng, please have some coffee."

"You guys talk. I won't bother you." He put down the coffee and left.

However, when Feng Yiping picked up the coffee and was about to ask the question again, he found that Sandberg on the other side didn't seem so firm.

What happened just now?

He had to work harder.

"I heard from Schmidt that when you first arrived in Silicon Valley, you thought that the job at Google was not suitable for your career choice criteria,"

"Yes, Schmidt gave me a great career advice at the time. He said this," Sandberg recalled, "Don't be silly, get on the rocket! When a company grows rapidly and has a great influence, your career will naturally flourish. You now have the opportunity to get on the rocket. No matter what position you are in, just get on it,"

"Google's rocket, whether in terms of height or speed, has now reached a certain limit, and its growth will slow down. Facebook is a new rocket that is rapidly increasing in speed and will surely fly very high in the future,"

"Then, I want to ask you again, do you want to get on Facebook's rocket?" Feng Yiping asked.

The person asking the question is different, but the words are the same, and the shock it brings to Sandberg is also the same. Even because of Feng Yiping's personal charm, his questioning brought Sandberg a greater shock.

She almost wanted to accept Feng Yiping's invitation immediately without thinking, and Feng Yiping also saw it. Well, it's finally done.

But he was too happy too early. At this moment, Dave rushed in. "I'm sorry, Feng," he apologized to Feng Yiping, and then immediately said to Sandberg, "Shirley, I think we need to discuss this."
