Chapter 2253 Choosing the Wrong Person

At this moment, the two were actually a little discouraged. It seemed that they could not achieve their goal.

Because it was obvious that their proposal would not be supported by any of the three people on the opposite side.

But at this point, the pit has been dug, and it has to be filled.

However, Durr is obviously shrinking behind now, so Moritz had to say, "Feng, it is definitely not a question of asking for advice. If you have any ideas, we can discuss them together."

But Feng Yiping did not talk to them next.

"Page, Yahoo's stock has risen by more than a quarter this year, right?" he asked.

"Yes," Page said.

"So Feng, this is exactly one of the reasons why investors have opinions about Google's board of directors and Google's management team," Moritz said.

Feng Yiping ignored him, "Brin, Yahoo should be our biggest competitor at present,"

"Yes, although the market share of Yahoo search is far behind us, combined with Yahoo's other products, it is indeed our biggest competitor in the field of online advertising," Brin said.

Hearing this, Schmidt suddenly felt uneasy. He moved his lips a few times, but in the end, he said nothing.

However, there was no expectation on his face at this time.

Feng Yiping then turned his eyes to Moritz and Durr, "If I remember correctly, your companies are also shareholders of Yahoo, right?"

"I still remember that the main purpose of your investment in Google was to consolidate Yahoo's periphery, that is, to use Google to build a firewall for Yahoo, am I right!"

Moritz and Durr's faces changed.

They looked at each other, but neither saw what they wanted in the other's eyes.

Next, it seemed difficult to refute.

"Then the question is, why do the 'large investors' have no opinion on the two shareholders who are both shareholders of Google and shareholders of Google's biggest competitor?"

"Don't they think that there is actually a considerable conflict of interest between the two of you?"

"Don't they have any opinions on the Google board of directors and the Google management team? Hmm?"

"Therefore, I have to ask Mr. Moritz and Mr. Doerr, who are the 'large investors' you are talking about?"

"Why do they favor me so much and turn a blind eye to the two of you?"

"Wow", a big wave hit the beach.

Moritz and Doerr seemed to shake.

As for their expressions, they looked like two fish sent to the beach by the waves, and at this time they were thinking about survival with all their body and mind.

However, no matter how they jumped, it seemed to be in vain.

The sun was too dazzling and too hot, and it was drying up their vitality bit by bit.

Feng Yiping was the sun that could dry them into dried fish.

"Hey," a chuckle sounded, it was Brin.

At this moment, he looked like a groom about to get married, with a smile on his face.

He bumped his shoulder against Page and Feng Yiping, and gave Feng Yiping a thumbs up with a smile, "Perfect!" He said silently.

Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, still looking at the two opposite.

When you are helpless or embarrassed, it is a good idea to smile so that others can't see it, and the two did it now.

"Hehe," Moritz laughed.

"Hehe," Durr also laughed twice.

The level of these two is indeed high, and their smiles are not forced at all. Feng Yiping secretly thinks that with their performance at this moment, they can fully serve as the head coach of facial expression management for the young ladies and big sisters in the red light districts in Europe.

"Well, Feng, this is mainly the opinions of some institutional investors we are familiar with, as well as some individual investors," Moritz said.

Having said that, we must stick to it no matter what.

"Feng, there is another point, I think we must clarify," Durr also spoke.

He tried to make his tone seem calm, but experienced people could hear his panic and weakness from his tone.

Schmidt propped up his chin with his hand.

"We are a professional investment institution, and Feng, you are an entrepreneur," he said, "so..."

"So you can become shareholders of multiple companies, even if some of them have serious conflicts of interest? But I can't?" Feng Yiping said what he wanted to say, but in the form of a rhetorical question.

"Why?" he asked loudly.

"Is there such an unspoken rule in our industry? Or are there relevant regulations in the law?"

"Mostly some people use it as an excuse to achieve their own goals," Page said.

He still looked very annoyed at this time.

"No, I mean, this is determined by our professional characteristics. Our professional characteristics determine that we will hold shares in multiple companies at the same time," said Doerr.

He still smiled when he said these words.

This is the so-called "accompanying smile".

This is a common choice when you can't be tough.

"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed, "Does that mean individual investors can't own shares in multiple companies at the same time?"

"You two, if this doesn't stand up to scrutiny, it's better not to waste everyone's time here, okay?"

"Yes, individual investors, of course, but we are obviously more professional," Moritz said.

This is evading the important and trivializing the important.

"Yes, it is more professional, so it is also more ruthless and short-sighted. Because you have KPIs, your investment has only one purpose, which is to make money and make more money."

"So, if a company you invest in goes bankrupt and it can create more profits for you, you will do so without hesitation," Feng Yiping continued.

Moritz wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why did I mention this?

"Feng, on this point, we must solemnly state that we at Sequoia have always been inclined to establish long-term, mutually beneficial and win-win relationships with our partners. We have always paid attention to the long-term development of our partners," Moretz said .

“The same goes for Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,” Doerr added.

He couldn't help but glance at Moretz, "When you say this, take our company with you, will you die?"

Feng Yiping smiled disdainfully, "Come on, who here doesn't know what you are doing? We are not inexperienced novices,"

Moritz raised the corners of his eyes, but failed to raise the corners of his mouth.

It is not easy to laugh at such cruel words all the time.

In particular, laughing with someone seems to be a very natural thing at this time.

"It is precisely because I am an investor and an entrepreneur at the same time that I understand entrepreneurs better," Feng Yiping said. "I hope to have more partners, and I hope to be able to work with my partners To grow without having my partners serve my interests,"

"For example, let them act as my peripheral barrier or something like that,"

Moretz and Duer are getting more and more annoyed at this time. You mentioned this matter again. It's not over yet, is it?

However, they have no right to get angry right now.

At this time, their attitude could only be more correct.

"Page, Brin, I apologize for our original arrangement," Moretz said. "We really shouldn't have let Google serve as a barrier to Yahoo."

"I'm sorry, we made a mistake at the beginning," Duer also said, "I hope you can forgive me,"

"After all, not everyone has Feng's good vision,"

"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed again, "So, you blame me?"

"No,"

"No, Feng, don't get me wrong," the two men said quickly.

Feng Yiping waved his hand, "I really don't want to waste time on these things anymore,"

"We really should apologize, we should apologize to Brin, for discussing such an unpleasant issue before his wedding,"

"Fon, I'm very happy now," Brin said with a smile.

Brin's sword made up for it, and the faces of Moritz and Duer darkened again.

They all know the source of Brin's happiness, which is based on their pain!

"So I don't bother to analyze the reasons behind the two motions. To be honest, I don't want to know," he glanced at Schmidt again.

Schmidt was standing there with his head lowered. He looked like a student standing at the door of the classroom.

"There are some methods that I don't even want to understand. Things could have been as sunny as the beach at this time, so why bother to think about things that are not on the table?"

Moretz's complexion had a tendency to turn into the color of pig liver.

Duer clenched his teeth, and the flesh on his face was trembling, as if he was sitting in a car driving at high speed on a rugged mountain road.

"Of course, I don't want to know, mainly because I'm not afraid of those methods," he said, looking straight at the two men.

The confidence and domineering displayed by Feng Yiping at this moment made Brin, who originally wanted to pat him and praise him for his good words, hesitate to do so.

Moretz and Doerr are no exception.

"Feng, we don't have any other ideas at all. We just want to discuss the views of some investors with you," Moritz said.

Feng Yiping feels that in their words, these "some investors" are roughly equivalent to our domestic almighty "temporary workers" who can withstand any thunder.

"Actually, it doesn't matter." He stood up and took a few steps under the umbrella with his hands on his hips. "If there is anything, I can make it nothing."

"But I still want to say something, you two," he stood in front of the two men.

His condescending look put more pressure on those two people.

"You may not realize that we are at a point in time that contains so much hope. Of course, this is understandable. Duer also said just now that not everyone has a good vision like mine. "

John Doerr forced a smile, you are so talkative, why don't you become a lawyer?

"Similarly, you obviously don't realize that we are at a point in time where changes are so drastic,"

"Because when you sit in the office, you mainly focus on the revenue figures. The challenges encountered in the company's actual operations have never been within the scope of your consideration,"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't help, but can you at least stop holding us back and causing trouble? Just wait quietly for the dividends, isn't it?"

"If you are dissatisfied with the dividend situation, you can withdraw, and I can express my position on behalf of Page and Brin. We can take over the shares you hold at a premium,"

"Feng, everyone," Durr also stood up, "We really don't have any other ideas. Our original intention is to make Google develop better, which is also good intention,"

"Thank you for your kindness," Page's words are always on point, "I hope you can recognize one fact again, whether in the past or in the future, Google will never be controlled by anyone,"

"We are not Yahoo, so some attempts are destined to be futile, and I don't want to see them again,"

"Feng, Page, Brin, can you really not expand your associations?" Moritz was a little anxious.

"We really just want to discuss our views on some issues with you. Of course, now we feel that our views on those issues are very incomplete, so let's just pretend that we haven't said anything,"

"Feng, sorry, we thought wrong," he apologized to Feng Yiping.

"Yes, we are too biased in our view of the problem, please forgive us," Durr said, "but we are still very satisfied with this discussion, because this discussion, especially some of your remarks, Feng, have benefited us a lot,"

"Let's go for a few drinks, okay? We can't let these things affect Brin's mood,"

"Feng, I personally have a lot of questions about the opportunities and challenges you are facing at this point, and I would like to ask you,"

"Sorry, I don't drink," Feng Yiping said.

This can be said to be very disrespectful.

Durr wanted to smile, but he couldn't. He really wanted to ask, what is the cup in your hand?
