Chapter 679 Chief Strategic Advisor

I believe that many people often think and ask themselves, "What will my future be like?"

Personally, this is still a question with a touch of romance.

But what does the future look like for a company leader? This is a very serious question that has nothing to do with romance at all.

How will my company develop in the future? Will it be able to become the first-class in the industry smoothly, or will it be replaced by a new business model while still working hard?

For a madman like Page, since he thought of the algorithm in his dream and designed it as a brand new Internet search engine, he has the confidence to make his company a huge success in the near future. Advertising Revenue on Select Networks.

Unlike the inventor he admired, Nikola Tesla, he now has a very successful company that will become more and more successful in the foreseeable future. Money is no longer a problem for him , What he thinks now is how to use technology and some of his own creations to better serve the majority of people.

Therefore, the direction he is pursuing hopes to be universally applicable. However, besides the search business, he has not yet found another clear goal.

The greatest charm of the future lies in its unpredictability. Taking ourselves as the starting point, there are countless roads leading to the future, and there are many of them, which look beautiful.

However, judging by the existing conditions, no one can say for sure. On these foggy and unknown roads from the starting point to the end point, there will be no rivers and ditches that will cost us a huge price, and we will not be able to cross them. Not past the mountain cliffs.

And such a setback is an unbearable burden in the life of a company and an individual.

Page had no desire to be a martyr like his idol, Tesla.

And Feng Yiping's imaginings are like opening a window for him. Although the scene he said is still a bit sci-fi based on the current conditions, but if you think about it seriously, such a scene is not An unattainable dream, at least, as a direction to strive for, is very good.

Page also has a lot of ideas about the future.

When he was a student, he had many dreams and plans to change the world.

While at the University of Michigan, he proposed that a personal rapid commuter system could be used to replace the school's public transportation, which is actually a driverless monorail transportation system.

During his time at Stanford, some of his ideas were more distant. One of them was to create a circular orbit from the surface of the earth to space, making it easier for objects to enter space.

And another, making solar-powered kites that absorb energy from space.

Comparing the two, his ideas are either not systematic enough, or really too far away, and Feng Yiping's ideas are more worthy of expectation and investment.

For a company with ideals, as long as the future direction is determined, many problems will no longer be problems. Looking back from the future, the products that they want to develop now and in the future will have relatively clear directions.

On the way to achieve this goal, the improvement of any new technology can improve the living standards of the general public-this is exactly what he pursues.

"Fon, come with us, Brin and I, and we'd love to work toward the future you describe," Page repeated.

Even Brin was surprised by his behavior like this. You must know that his comrade and brother disliked people other than engineers, and Feng Yiping had nothing to do with engineers at all.

Seeing his unfeigned sincerity, Feng Yiping was very relieved that it was finally worthwhile for me to prepare for such a long time.

"I'm very honored, but I already have a very clear plan for my own path,"

"What could be more attractive and necessary than throwing yourself into such a creative venture? Money? I believe that in the realization of the future you describe, we can also reap enormous wealth."

Talking to Feng Yiping now, Paige no longer dodges his eyes, and can look at him, that is, he agrees with Feng Yiping very much.

"Such things can be done by geniuses like you, but some things can only be done by me," Feng Yiping said.

Brin patted his more excited partner, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"If it's about money, I have achieved financial freedom a few years ago, and I don't have to worry about money for a long time. What I do now, the first consideration is not money."

"Do you know? My hometown is located in a remote mountainous area in an inland province of China. It has been connected to electricity for less than 15 years. For a long time, my hardworking parents could only rely on farming. To make ends meet, although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but there is very little cash income, so anything that needs to spend money at that time is a luxury, "

"For example, our meal today costs an average of US$50 per person, which adds up to nearly 1,000 yuan. This was a sum of money that most families at that time could not save for a year,"

Even the country does not shy away from these problems now, and Feng Yiping did not hide them. In terms of the objective conditions of his hometown, poverty is not an original sin.

Page and Brin were attracted again. Both of their families were considered middle-class in the United States. The life Feng Yiping described was really unimaginable to them.

"So, when I learned about the outside world in school and from other media, I felt that I had a responsibility to my hometown, and I should make her rich and modern. Haha, this is my ideal. , not so far as yours,"

"No, no, such behavior is also worthy of our admiration," Brin said.

"Since I got my first income, I have been trying every means to drive the folks in my hometown to become rich together. Through our joint efforts, nearly ten years have passed, and objectively speaking, there have been very good results.

According to the point of view of the United States, the annual income of more than 50,000 US dollars is the middle class, then my hometown already has a group of such people, and at the same time, great progress has been made in various infrastructure constructions.

However, this is still far from my final goal, and I still need to continue to work hard. Moreover, for this project, at present, I am the most suitable candidate. "

"Are you building your hometown as modern as this one?" Brin asked.

"At least let her keep up with the times," Feng Yiping said.

If Feng Yiping's knowledge and vision for the future attracted Page and Brin before, then Feng Yiping's dream has deeply moved them now.

The two of them are now considered passionate young people. While making money, they are also eager to benefit the society.

"No matter how small a dream is, it can change the world," Page said, "I respect and admire your choice, but, I think, this is not contradictory to my invitation, what do you think, we invite you to join Google's board of directors, as the chief strategic advisor," he thought for a while and created a position.

"This position does not require you to work full-time, but I hope that your forward-looking vision can help us make judgments on some issues."

Sure enough, the cowhide is not bragging, and success is really no fluke. Page is very keen to see the greatest value of Feng Yiping.

"I sincerely hope that you can seriously consider it," said Brin, who was always on the same side as Page when speaking externally.

Accepting this invitation, regardless of fame and fortune, will be good in the future, so accept it, or accept it, or accept it?
