Chapter 1966 Benefits
"Do you still remember our trip to India?" Feng Yiping asked.
This question suddenly made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable, and they subconsciously twisted their bodies, as if they had some discomfort in their stomachs.
"Can you not remember?" Page smiled bitterly, "That was one of the rare times when we were in embarrassment."
"It feels like it won't happen again," Brin said with lingering fear.
Fortunately, the incident was controlled within a small scope. Otherwise, if it were broadcast by any American news network, it would definitely become a joke for many people for many years.
"Hey man, are you going to India? You have to be careful. Those two Peter Pans from Google must be amazing, but as soon as they arrived in India, they were beaten down by a few pieces of fruit washed with tap water,"
Or, "Hey man, do you know why Steve Jobs traveled to India when he was young? Because it was a country with magical powers, and those who didn't understand it had painful memories, such as Google The two founders of,”…
"But why are you talking about this? Hey, we are still eating now,"
"I've eaten," Feng Yiping patted his belly.
Facing the unkind eyes of the two opposite men, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Listen to me, there were some things on that trip to India that left a deep impression on me."
Who knows, this is another topic that makes the two people very unhappy, "Isn't it? Can you not be impressed? A well-known female star from Bollywood is accompanying you all the way."
"I'm deeply impressed. She is a female star who has appeared in Playboy, and among the female stars who have appeared in Playboy, she is the most exotic and..." At this point, Brin stopped at the right time.
He didn't know to what extent Feng Yiping and Marika would develop later. If it was as he expected, the next words might be a little offensive.
"Oh, could it be Bollywood that prompted you to make such a decision?" He looked like he suddenly understood.
Feng Yiping smiled and said nothing, then asked a question, "Our Google Earth will be launched in the next few months,"
"Well, it was originally scheduled for the third quarter, but now all the research and development has been completed and is about to enter the testing phase. I think it will be online in the second quarter at the latest," Page said without thinking, "But, this and So, what does it matter?”
"Hey, it's very relevant," Feng Yiping tidied his clothes, leaned comfortably on a simple armchair in the restaurant, and showed off his inscrutability.
If he had a feather fan in his hand, he would be Zhuge Liang, who was full of wisdom and had everything under control.
But those two people didn't appreciate such oriental showoff, and instead they became a little nervous.
Google Earth is a project that Schmidt does not agree with, but they are very enthusiastic about. It is an important project for them to pay attention to and change the world.
They believed that Feng Yiping thought so too. From the very beginning, they packaged the electronic map technology suppliers they had acquired and gave them to Google.
"Do you think it's the wrong time for us to go online?"
"Okay, that's what happened. When I was in India, I heard a lot of stories about Indian orphans and street children who were adopted by families from European and American countries,"
Page glanced at Brin helplessly, "Do you think we are on the same channel as him?"
"Obviously not," Brin shook his head.
"Patience, man, patience is very important," Feng Yiping said with a look of disgust and disappointment. "We know that everyone has the desire to find their roots, especially those who are not orphans. For various reasons, they became street children and were eventually killed. Indian children adopted by European and American families, deep down in their hearts, will they always think of their biological parents and other family members, and will they be deeply impressed by them, but for various reasons, they can never go back? Lu’s hometown, haunted by dreams?”
This time the question was quickly answered in the affirmative, "Yes."
Adopting orphans from some underdeveloped countries, including India and China, is not common in Europe and the United States. They had heard and seen it when they were children.
"You mean, one of them finally found his way back to his hometown through our Google Maps?"
"Yes, that's it. There was such a child. When he was four or five years old, he and his brother came out of the village and took a train to the city. Then they got separated for some reason. He went back to the train to look for his brother, but in the end he was taken away by the train. The further away,”
“Because India is multilingual, he mispronounced the name of his village, and India’s chaotic civil administration, the police station couldn’t find his hometown, so he was sent to a children’s welfare home. Finally, , was adopted by an American family,"
"I know, I know," Page said next. "As an adult, he has been thinking about his hometown in India and his parents and relatives. It just so happened that we launched Google Maps at this time. Some of my memories were on Google Maps, and I finally found my hometown,”
"Very good," Feng Yiping gave him a thumbs up.
"Very good," the two looked at each other and slapped the table almost at the same time.
"Feng, you are amazing," one of them patted Feng Yiping on one shoulder.
There really is no better ad for Google Maps.
That’s true. In 2014, Feng Yiping, who had paid some attention to the Indian entertainment industry because of Marika, saw a book on the Internet about a person adopted by an Australian family—he couldn’t remember the name of the person. The book was a bestseller on Amazon, and it seemed to be “The Long Way Home.”
It was about the story he and Page had put together. At the time, the publicity was that both Bollywood and Hollywood film companies had taken a fancy to his novel and wanted to adapt it into a movie.
His first reaction at the time was that it must be the wealthy Google company behind this, promoting and advertising Google Maps, which had already been criticized at the time.
So Google, where is your integrity?
But this is a different time. For him at this moment, there is really no story more suitable for promoting Google Maps than this.
And for his new entry into the Hollywood film industry, there is no movie that is more emotional, warm, and righteous than this one, which can better demonstrate his feelings and strength.
“So, do you mean to write another novel like this?”
Feng Yiping shook his head.
"Could it be that we are going to make a movie like this?"
"Pah," Feng Yiping clapped his hands, "You guessed it right!"
"Do you think that a movie that focuses on the phenomenon of lost children and focuses on universal themes such as family affection will move the audience?"
"Yes, I think many people will be moved to tears," Page nodded.
When he pieced together the second half of the story, he was mainly thinking about his new product, Google Maps.
At this time, he put himself into the story and immediately felt the power contained in it.
He believed that such a story would definitely move many people, and at the same time, it was really advertising for his Google Maps.
No, this is not advertising. Google Maps, which has prepared so much data, does have such capabilities now.
However, although he created Google Maps with the idea of describing the world first to change the world, he never thought that Google Maps would have such a function and would make such an application.
"If there is such a real story, it would naturally be better," said Brin.
This is indeed a little flawed, but can Feng Yiping still say, I know there is such an adopted Indian child in Australia, who will do such a thing?
Do you think you have the same God's vision as Google Maps?
That would definitely be asking for trouble.
"It doesn't matter. Movies are art first, right? And art comes from life, but it is higher than life. We just need to be sure that there is such a possibility," Feng Yiping said.
"Then the question is, is it possible for such a thing to happen in reality?" Page asked.
He rolled up his sleeves, "Let's go, let's go to the office. I think this story has too many technical details that need to be perfected,"
"Which director do you think is the most suitable..."
"And what about the actors?"
"Malika..."
"Hehe, as expected,"
