Chapter 2089 Authorization

Feng Yiping took his son and daughter to play happily for two days.

The first day was at home and nearby, and the next day, he went to the equestrian club in the morning. In the afternoon, he drove the children to a beach more than an hour's drive from San Francisco, where he and the two little ones built castles and tried to use the collected Make handicrafts with shells, play volleyball...or simply run wild on the beach with candies.

That night, he and his two children camped next to the beach for the first time.

However, such leisure time is always short-lived. Work is the most eternal theme in life.

Of course, work can also be combined with leisure.

Two days before returning to China, he went overseas again - naturally not with another female star, but with Page and Brin.

Originally, we were going to go fishing in the sea, but in the end, a few fishing rods were all turned into decorations. The three of them went into the water and swam for a while. In the end, they were all wearing swimming trunks, drinking cold beer, and lying on the top deck of the yacht to bask in the sun. sun.

"Do you think we should buy a yacht?" Page suddenly asked.

"It's very necessary," Feng Yiping said immediately. "Look, those guys at Microsoft have bought several ships of such size. We have to express our opinion, right? Buy one, preferably one bigger than Paul Allen's. Be big,"

"That's got to be bigger than Ellison's boat now," Page said with a smile.

The wealthy people in the United States are actually vindictive.

Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, spent more than $200 million to build the world's largest private luxury yacht, the 414-foot-long Octopus. It was just launched in 2003. Oracle founder Eric has always had trouble with Microsoft. Sen, the custom-made 452-foot-long Rising Sun was launched into the water last year.

It is said that the original design of his Rising Sun was only 393 feet. After learning Allen's data, the design was changed.

"There are already bigger ones in production than Ellison's Rising Sun," Breen said.

It seems that he is also very interested in big toys like yachts.

It was a yacht customized by the Crown Prince of Dubai and said to be 525 feet long.

"This is incomparable. I think soon there will be yachts longer than 525 feet," Page said. "What about you, Feng, do you plan to buy one? I will drive it in China and the United States in the future." and back and forth,”

Before Feng Yiping could speak, Brin answered for him, "He can drive a yacht across the Pacific? How is that possible! With his character, crossing the Pacific on an aircraft carrier is more like it."

He knew very well how much Feng Yiping didn't like to take risks.

"However, Feng, you'd better buy one, and buy a bigger one. It's good for just wandering around the sea. When you go to Hollywood in the future, you don't need to rent a yacht to go to sea. Besides, three female stars are nothing. Customize one." Big, 30 female stars can be taken overseas,"

"Do you all want to buy it? If you all want to buy it, I will buy a company that can customize and produce luxury yachts now," Feng Yiping said.

The two guys shook their heads helplessly, "Look, this is Feng," Page said.

Feng Yiping sometimes really wants to buy one. Of course, Brin is right, it must be mainly used for circling offshore.

Once the Pacific becomes turbulent, let alone an aircraft carrier, even a 300,000-ton supertanker will look like a big toy, not to mention your private yacht, which is only a hundred meters long and has a displacement of 10,000 tons?

"Hey, you think, after we retire in the future, can we really design a big yacht and travel around the world together?" Feng Yiping asked.

"This is not impossible to consider, but Feng, we have a question. Do you think Baidu will challenge us in the future?" Page talked about work again.

Of course, they went to sea today mainly for work.

"No," Feng Yiping blurted out immediately.

Page glanced at Brin. How could Feng be so confident?

"I would say that at least in the next 10 years, it will not pose a challenge to us," Feng Yiping added.

As for why not? Because he has experienced it.

Before his rebirth, the market value of Wolf Factory was only one-tenth or one-tenth of Google's.

Although Wolf Factory has always been at the top of the search field in China, it only has advantages in China.

And Google is in the lead in many places in the world, or in other words, except in our country, and it is the absolute leader.

"Why?" Paige asked.

"I think the main issue is the concept, that is, the issue of values. We all know that, but after the company reaches a certain scale, the issue of values ​​will directly affect the company's future development."

"Correct values ​​will allow our company to be loved by more users, allowing us to go higher and further,"

"Robin is really a profit-oriented person," Brin said.

"This is actually not wrong. After all, making money is at least one of the basic goals and tasks of a company. The problem is that both we as individuals and as a company will face short-term and possibly expensive benefits on the way to growth, and Doing evil ties up the situation that arises,"

"At that time, our choice was crucial,"

"We don't do evil, or we try not to do evil," Page said matter-of-factly when there were only three of them.

Because when a company gets bigger, sometimes it may still be unavoidable to do evil that is not man-made or subjective.

"It doesn't matter if we are wrong, I believe we will definitely change, but as you know, some companies may not," Feng Yiping said.

He didn't want to say this at first, but there were some words that he just couldn't hold back.

Because people in the industry actually know that the Wolf Factory has always had problems in bidding rankings. There were many problems before the medical incident that later caused condemnation from the whole society. They have always said that they should reflect on , rectification, but everyone knows the result.

"For a high-tech company like ours, image and credibility are still very important,"

"We have a saying in China that water can carry a boat or capsize it. The user's patience is the bottom line. After exceeding this bottom line, many users may give up the product they originally liked. We know that there are many choices now. ,"

"To be honest, I feel a lot more relaxed when I hear you say that," Page said. "You know, we used to be a small company, but now we have achieved pretty good results."

"I think they might think so too," Feng Yiping said, "but I'm not worried at all."

"Speaking of this, I have to remind you that we must not have thoughts like Dell's,"

"Chinese netizens are very tolerant and welcome foreign companies like Google,"

This is also a helpless fact. Many people just like foreign brands and are very proud of them.

"However, they have a very low tolerance for behavior like Dell's, or no tolerance at all,"

After domestic PC manufacturer Lenovo acquired IBM's PC business, Dell, currently the world's largest PC company, became a little uneasy.

At the end of May, Dell actually commented, "Every dollar people spend on IBM products will directly support or fund the Chinese government."

This immediately caused a huge response in the country. Specifically, Dell was spurned by many domestic netizens.

Feng Yiping thought that Dell's stupid move must have contributed a lot to Lenovo's position as the PC boss.

"Feng, we don't care about this aspect," Page actually said.

"What?"

"Because of similar problems in Chinese companies, we leave all the responsibility to you. If a similar situation occurs, then we will hold you accountable,"

"In other words, you have the final and highest decision-making power on all issues related to Chinese companies. I think we need to make it clear to the board of directors as soon as possible."

"I think it's necessary," Brin echoed.

"Then I won't refuse," Feng Yiping said.

After all, Google is closely related to his interests. Developing Google China well will also be beneficial to domestic users in the long run.

At least, it can be guaranteed that Wolf Factory will not disregard the interests of users, or life safety, sometimes.

As for the authorization from Google's board of directors, all three of them agree, that's not a problem.

"Of course, you don't need to care about Schmidt's intention to pursue an acquisition this time,"

"Needless to say, I understand that Schmidt is also working hard for the benefit of the company," Feng Yiping said.

"However, the next project to acquire the navigation website is ultimately up to you," Page said, "don't worry about his opinion,"

"Of course, I will consider this project based on the interests of the company," Feng Yiping emphasized.

"Also, if your decision goes against Schmidt's expectations, we hope that you can do a good job of comforting him,"

"No, you want me to do this too? Then we have to have a good talk. How much salary increase will the board of directors give me? What I welcome most is stock awards,"

"I heard that there is a saying in China that talking about money hurts feelings,"

Feng Yiping: "..."

ps: Is anyone still working?
