Chapter 1964 Means

Feng Yiping's turn was a bit abrupt, and the question was quite direct.

Although foreigners generally complain about one of the characteristics of our great China, that is, sometimes we are not direct enough when communicating, in fact, they have done such things themselves.

The more important the matter is, the more it needs to be prepared. For example, a proposal must have a preface, and then the question is asked at the end, "Will you marry me?" or "Will you marry me?"

When people who are close to each other say something sharp, most people will habitually make a soothing transition first.

The question asked by Feng Yiping is a sharp question. Logically, it should have been prepared a little bit, but he didn't. Like a sharp knife, he stabbed Page and Brin directly.

As for the question he asked, it was actually a very obvious thing.

Will Google not feel the pressure and competition from Facebook? Will Page and Brin be annoyed by Facebook's huge potential in the field of online advertising and the advantages that Facebook has that they cannot match?

For example, Facebook users have complete information, while many Google users can only know an IP address.

Page and Brin have always been unable to let go of their grievances with Yahoo, and they are quite disgusted with Yahoo's corporate style, but in fact, there is not much difference between them and Yahoo in some things.

Originally, one of the most regrettable or failed high-tech acquisitions in the history of world technology was that Yahoo failed to acquire Google.

But Google is not much better, because the second example of the world's top ten high-tech acquisition decision-making errors is that Google failed to acquire Facebook.

Since this can be rated as "one of the world's top ten" and is comparable to Yahoo's failure to acquire Google, it can be seen that Facebook has a great influence on Google.

Because Google has a lot of adverse effects on Yahoo.

So, of course, they will definitely have opinions about Facebook, a strong competitor, and naturally, they will also be somewhat dissatisfied with its founder.

But that person is Feng Yiping.

So, facing his abrupt, direct and sharp questions, Page and Brin's reactions are very consistent, and they are not panicked at all.

"What are you talking about? The three of us are a trinity, okay? So, how can you make us unhappy?" Brin said.

"Don't think too much. Even among brothers, there will inevitably be competition, right? So, as long as our relationship is strong enough, these problems will not be a problem," Page said.

"In other words, since competition is inevitable, we naturally hope to compete with brothers like you,"

"Haha, I feel relieved when you say that," Feng Yiping said.

Indeed, in another sense, competitors are actually partners who share the market together. If possible, he naturally hopes to share the market with his brothers and his good friends.

"I have to correct Brin's statement. In my opinion, you are not the nemesis of big shots. On the contrary, it is those big shots who actively provoke you, so you have to passively fight back."

"For example, we all know that Disney decided to intervene immediately after learning that you are interested in Marvel."

"Chief Yang knew that you were preparing to integrate another e-commerce company in China, and decided to get involved..."

"You had to fight back for your own rights,"

Feng Yiping immediately put his arm around Page's shoulders, "For this, we have to eat two peppers, and for this, I have to toast you a glass,"

Page patted Feng Yiping's hand, looked at Brin and said, "So the most important thing for us is to see if we have done anything that will cause Boss Feng to fight back,"

"Of course not," Brin put his arm around Feng Yiping's shoulders again, "We like you and love you, so how could we embarrass you or take advantage of you?"

In an avant-garde place like California, if the scene of the three gentlemen hugging each other like this is seen by someone with a keen eye, there will definitely be many interpretations, and there will inevitably be interpretations that will make Feng Yiping angry.

"It just so happens that I think so too. So, in order to keep our relationship from being affected by business, you two should take a look at this," Feng Yiping clicked on the folder again.

It turned out that even such a sharp question was to pave the way for this matter.

His words moved Page and Brin a little.

Indeed, after reading this document, they will not leak secrets, and secondly, they will see some bright spots in Facebook's future business operations, which will make them happy, but no matter what Wuhe, they will not imitate it.

If Lao Ma was here, he would definitely persuade the two of them, don't, don't do it, I was forced to get on the car obediently by this guy's unreserved and unreserved approach, and you two, don't fall for his tricks.

Don't be confused or even moved by his unguarded approach.

I tell you, this guy just thinks we are gentlemen, so he can deceive us.

But this approach is really useful, Page and Brin still couldn't help opening the document.

In other words, they may not be interested in whether Feng Yiping is really having an affair with a Hollywood female star, but they are really interested in Feng Yiping's company's business strategy.

The two of them put down their relatively well-used chopsticks and started looking through the document together.

"brand advertisement……"

It’s just businesses advertising on Facebook.

"Brand advertising outside the site..."

This is an advertising business that can be developed after opening up the use of third-party websites to log in to Facebook in the future.

"Virtual currency……"

This is the part that Sandberg focused on. According to their plan, this part of the business will contribute one-third of Facebook's profits in the future.

“The future of Facebook payments on third-party sites…”

This is very simple, just like other e-commerce websites later, many recommend that you use Alipay to pay.

Since it brings convenience and benefits to them, Facebook's payment will naturally have a return.

“Local coupons…”

This can be said to have fully absorbed the experience of NEXTDOOR operations, especially the relevant experience in group purchasing.

Finally, they were shocked to see that there is another point, "a web-based search business will be launched in the future, which will naturally drive related advertising revenue."

But Page and Brin were shocked not by Facebook, but by Facebook's profit channels.

"It seems like Facebook's revenue will be dispersed in at least six major areas?" Page said.

"You also know that the main source of Google's current revenue, more than 95% to be exact, comes from the advertising business brought by search,"

"There is nothing to worry about. If you are worried, then you also know that the biggest issue you have to worry about in the future is how to spend the money you earn," Feng Yiping said.

He is very clear about Google's future, because it has always been the top spot in the search field, so they really don't want to make money too fast or too much.

Page still doesn't believe it. Just by relying on search, their future life will be even better than that of Microsoft.

"So, for now, although we all value online advertising equally in the future, there is actually a big difference in the focus of Google and Facebook in this area, right," Brin said.

"Yes, Google mainly focuses on meeting needs, while Facebook focuses on creating needs," Feng Yiping said.

"We also know that meeting demand will bring huge amounts of advertising, but creating demand is really not necessarily the case,"

"No, purely in terms of means, the level of creating demand is higher," Page said.

"No, according to Maslow's demand theory, meeting needs is also very important. Compared with creating needs, there is no difference at all," Feng Yiping said.

The two of them actually showed humility to each other.

"I said," Brin patted the document, "you put the search ads at the end because you were afraid that we would mind, right?"

His question was equally straightforward, and the answer was equally obvious.

Feng Yiping admitted honestly, "We have concerns in this regard. We are just bean sprouts now, and we don't dare to anger a towering tree like Google."

"Look, this fully shows that Feng obviously doesn't have enough confidence in us, right," Brin said, looking at Page.
