Chapter 2598 Three Men
Google.
Ever since we have made great efforts to rectify our meeting style, especially the two founders Page and Brin have begun to lead by example. In meetings, they no longer go all out to yell at people, or sit aside and watch the heated exchanges between their subordinates. After the controversy, Google's popularity finally became normalized.
However, looking at everyone's serious, amiable reports and discussions about work, Page can't help but miss the past days, those passionate meetings!
Seeing the caller number on his mobile phone, he immediately picked up the call, "Hi, Feng,"
Although he lowered his voice, his actions immediately attracted the attention of many people. When he heard it was Feng Yiping, even Brin came over.
Schmidt, who was speaking, had to stop with a smile.
The person who answered the phone was Page, the person who leaned over was Brin, and the person on the phone was Feng Yiping... At a time like this, could he still emphasize meeting discipline?
"Let the 757 take three people to fly to China, right? Just wait a minute," he whispered to Brin. Seeing Brin shake his head, he immediately said, "Okay, no problem,"
Before hanging up the phone, he asked, "When will you come back?"
When he put down the phone and saw everyone looking at him, he was still a little confused and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"
Schmidt's eyes flashed twice behind his lenses, and you asked me what's wrong? "Because GeoEye's EarthEye-1 satellite has been finally determined to be launched in the window of opportunity in September, the Google Earth project team..."
…………
After the meeting, Schmidt caught up with Page and Brin, "Which three important guests will Feng take to China?"
"The three founders of Twitter," Page replied casually.
"So, Feng is interested in Twitter?" Schmidt said, looking at Page and Brin's disinterest, he stopped in front of them, "Page, Brin, I have always been It is suggested that we should also make efforts in the field of social networking sites. We all know the opportunities contained in the social field, especially its advantages in the field of online advertising,"
"This is related to our core business. No matter what, we should make efforts in this regard. I believe that Feng will also understand this,"
Page and Brin looked like they were waiting for him to continue.
"I think Twitter is a very good target, what do you think?" he asked.
"So next, should we also start a video website project?" Page asked.
Schmidt said to himself, if you think so, that’s great!
"Yes, we have all noticed that online video websites also have great potential in the advertising field. I personally strongly agree that we should set up a project team in this area,"
"Smartphone operating system?" Brin asked.
Schmidt already felt that the tone of his words was a bit wrong, but he still insisted, "If in the future, as Feng inferred, more users will access the Internet through smartphones, then, yes, smartphone operating systems , we should also make a difference,"
"And we obviously have the technology and strength to get involved in this project,"
"So let's just say, Schmidt, do you think that in fact, for all the businesses that Feng's company is currently operating...even including his production company and Tesla, we should actually establish corresponding projects?" Bu Bu Lin then asked.
Although the question seemed like a trap, even though he felt a little blushing when he said it, Schmidt said, "Yes, even his production company and Tesla,"
"His production company can in turn promote the development of online video websites. As for Tesla, we all understand that pure electric cars equipped with intelligent systems are undoubtedly the best carriers for implementing various new technologies in the future,"
"In this regard, we at Google undoubtedly have an inherent advantage because we can provide world-class electronic maps in the future,"
Brin couldn't help but say, "Schmidt, do you remember how we established the electronic map project? Do you still remember the foundation of our electronic map project and how it came about?"
Schmidt was speechless for a moment.
Of course he knew that it mainly came from Feng Yiping.
"But, as Feng has always said, the market in all these fields is large enough to accommodate more companies..."
Brin interrupted him, "I believe that there must be more than one person in Feng's company who feels that search should also be an area they should work hard on."
Schmidt naturally knows this.
When Feng Yiping met with them for the first time, he talked about the idea that in the future, "search is everything".
Then, conversely, it can be said that all high-tech companies, especially those related to the Internet, are inseparable from search.
This is also true.
How can the projects under Feng Yiping, whether it is NEXTDOOR's various business sections, Facebook, Netflix, or YouTube, be separated from search technology?
It can even be said that they will definitely have an advantage over Google in some search technologies.
But who told them not to provide search services to the outside world? Schmidt said to himself.
"So, if Feng's company immediately launched a search project, would you think so in your heart?"
Only a fool would really think that, Schmidt said to himself, "But we..."
"Okay," Page interrupted them, "Schmidt, in fact, in the general direction, our views are consistent with yours,"
"Consistent?" Schmidt was delighted.
But Page continued, "Your point of view is also correct. Many markets are indeed large and can accommodate more competitors."
Schmidt was really a little emotional at this time. On such issues, Page did not support his views so directly.
So, he could probably guess what Page would say next. Needless to say, it must start with Bart.
He was right.
"But," Page said, "there has never been, and there will never be, a company that can develop well in operating software, search, social networking, etc. at the same time,"
"Even if it is enlarged to a country, it is impossible to maintain a leading position in all fields,"
"Don't say that the resources of a company are always limited. Even coordinating so many projects at the same time is an unsolvable problem. Therefore, the most important thing is to have our own core projects. Otherwise, Yahoo is a lesson learned,"
Schmidt's mood became heavy. Is there such a thing as first praising and then suppressing?
Because this is equivalent to denying all his previous suggestions at once.
Sure enough, Page is still the same Page.
"I can also tell you that we have already thought about the problems you mentioned, and," he patted Schmidt on the shoulder, "we already have a better solution,"
Schmidt's eyes clearly said, is it true or not?
But Page was unwilling to elaborate, leaving a sentence, "You will know," and slowly walked away with Brin.
Schmidt was so depressed, is there such a thing? Is there such a thing in such a big thing?
I took off my pants, and you kept me in suspense?
A better solution? What would it be?
Almost at the same time, in San Francisco, three other Silicon Valley stars also started a debate in the corridor.
These three, also three men, are the three core figures of Twitter, that is, the three founders
"I think we should go, at least, we can talk to Feng and exchange some ideas," Jack Dorsey, one of the founders and CEO, insisted on going to the appointment.
Another founder, the oldest in the team, Evan Williams, immediately said, "Come on, Jack, are you sure you want to sell our company?"
From the beginning, he firmly opposed contact with Facebook. Even if Feng Yiping personally invited him, he still insisted on his opinion.
"We all know the current situation of the company," Jack Dorsey spoke slowly, "I think we should try all possibilities to keep the company going,"
"Including selling the company?" Williams immediately asked back, and he turned his head to Bizstone standing next to him, "What's your opinion, Biz?"
Biz pushed his glasses, "Guys, we must also consider that the current environment may be the worst since the Internet bubble,"
"So my opinion is that it's not impossible to meet Mr. Feng and inspect our business in China,"
"Anyway, he has even prepared the plane,"
"This plane is Google One, don't you think there is a lot of content in it?"
ps: This... Dear, have you voted for your recommendation?
