Chapter 686: Sensation

March 6th happens to be the Awakening of Insects in the 24 solar terms in China.

On this day, Google held a brief press conference, officially announced the acceptance of Feng Yiping's personal investment, and hired him as the strategic director.

To the dissatisfaction of the media, the two founders of Google, and the other protagonist of today, were not present, and Schmidt was the only one who appeared at the press conference.

The questions from the reporters were very focused and impolite, "As a 22-year-old college student with little experience in the industry, can Feng Yiping be qualified for the position of strategy director?"

"Page has a saying that I agree with. Ideas are more important than age. Whether it is Page, Brin, or I, after contacting Feng, they all agree that he is not only a young scholar and a successful entrepreneur, but also a successful entrepreneur. He is also a person with outstanding vision, he is fully qualified for the position of Google's strategy director, and his joining is a very beneficial thing for Google!"

"Mr. Schmidt, not long after you took the post of CEO, Google hired a new strategy director. Can we think that this is a certain degree of distrust or constraints on you?"

This is a more direct, less polite question.

Although Schmidt said in his heart, "There must be," but he still had a smile on his face, "It was a joint decision between Page and Brin, me, Page and Brin to hire Feng as the strategic director. Good development, not implicated in any other cause.

In addition, if this is what you care about, I would like to say that the cooperation between me and the two talented founders of Google is very pleasant and smooth.

Although it is impossible for us to have the same understanding of everything, in the end, based on the long-term interests of the company, we can always get a perfect consensus.

After I joined Google, Page and Brin were able to get rid of some administrative affairs and put their excellent talents on product development.

I am also very pleased that the sound company structure finally allows these two hard-working young people to finally have some time for themselves. "

"As far as I know, Google's revenue last year was only US$80 million, but from the data you just released, Google's current valuation is US$1 billion. How did you come up with this figure?"

This question is the easiest to answer, "We are a company that has developed rapidly. Based on the performance of the first two months of this year and the data from the sales department, this year's revenue can be three times that of last year."

"Feng proposed the concept of cloud computing. At the same time, he also has his own software company in Silicon Valley. Will there be a conflict of interest?"

"Feng Yiping is the strategic director and a shareholder. Is he responsible to you, or are you responsible to him?"

"Where will this investment be used?"

There are also some people whose heads are full of granite asking, "Will hiring a Chinese as an executive affect the security of users' network data?"

In this press conference, Schmidt showed a superb level. Regardless of whether the question was polite or rude, he could handle it freely. He kept smiling throughout the whole process. The concluding remarks also contained a lot of information, "I'm sorry, I also want to To participate in the preparation of the company's medium and long-term development strategy, thank you!"

In fact, he still has a piece of news that has not been announced. Feng Yiping invested not only 150 million, but 200 million. voting rights.

The agreement stipulates that this 5% will be sold after listing, or repurchased by major shareholders.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Page's office was lively. The three of them were having a lively discussion about the document he had tinkered with in the past few days. Such a scene should last for a few days.

Even the quick-tempered Page knows that for such an important programmatic document like action benchmarks, the more complete the better.

Seeing Schmidt coming in, Page only glanced at it without even nodding his head. Schmidt didn't care, and actively participated in the discussion, "I think the browser should be a priority project, and it's also a very good project." Chances are, there are a lot of users who are unhappy with Microsoft's mandatory bundling,"

"But how do you promote it?"

…………

Facts have proved that as long as there is sales pressure, even newspapers with integrity are excellent headlines. The next day's newspapers are full of articles like "Google hires a 22-year-old Chinese college student as strategic director".

This is not bad, and many people went to the bookstore to ask about Feng Yiping's Blue Ocean Strategy.

There are still a few people without brains. A company with a bright future like Google must have a good reason for making such a choice, that is, Feng Yiping can indeed shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, that is, Feng Yiping does have extraordinary abilities, That's his once-loved book, and it must have something to offer...  

In China, not many people pay attention to this news. After all, at this time, Google has not yet grown to the level of world attention, nor has it entered China.

The first to pay attention to this news was naturally Google's Chinese counterpart, Baidu.

Baidu, who saw the news, was also mixed.

The good news is that foreign counterparts have proved that this industry has great prospects. Google, which was established two years earlier than Baidu, is already worth one billion US dollars.

What is worrying is that Baidu at this time, compared with Google, has a mysterious difference in strength. If Google enters China in the future—no, it should be certain, it will be a very strong competitor.

What makes Baidu people envious and jealous is that the young chairman of Jiaqiang actually poured 150 million US dollars to Google at one time, 150 million US dollars, and how much was Baidu's last round of financing? Only a measly $10 million.

If you can get this 150 million, how much can the company do?

Speaking of which, Jiaqiang should be one of the earliest companies to cooperate with Baidu, and it was once its largest customer, promoting Jiasheng Automobile Network. The newly established Baidu received a lot of advertising fees. What about further cooperation?

In fact, this is just an afterthought. If Jiaqiang proposed to invest in Baidu at that time, it would definitely be ignored.

Again, start-up companies need money, not just money.

They prefer to cooperate with those well-known venture capital companies. In addition to funds, well-known venture capital companies can also bring them other resources.

Of course, the employees of Jiaqiang Group were the second to know the news. Jiaqiang's official website mentioned the boss's move in a timely manner.

Tsinghua University, Lu Wenqing, who finished the night shift, trotted all the way back to the dormitory in the morning light, "Get up and get up, Lao Han, you played all night again? Come on, don't play games, go to Jiasheng's official website, there is a flat news, "

Han Guiliang's eyes were like pandas, and he stopped Lu Wenqing's hand, "Wait a minute, there should be a mysterious person appearing in this soul temple,"

"What's the fun in this? Hurry up,"

Han Guiliang rubbed his eyes, "What's the matter, so excited, did Yiping meet a female star in California?"

After he turned off the legend and opened Jiasheng's official website, he immediately yelled, "I'll go!"

"What's the matter?" The others were finally willing to stick their heads out from under the quilt.

"Look, Yiping personally invested 150 million US dollars in a company in Silicon Valley,"

"What did you say? 150 million US dollars?" Yan Zhida ran over wearing a big underpants.

Zhou Yonggao and Jin Bao didn't even put on any clothes, and ran over with their hands clasped shirtless, "Where is it? Let me see."

"Tsk tsk, 150 million US dollars, more than 1 billion yuan, Yiping this guy,"

"Really! This Yiping,"

Yan Zhida was already lying on the bed again at this time, but he was no longer sleepy. With his head resting on his hands, he suddenly cursed fiercely, "What kind of shit is Hurun's China Rich List? It's not accurate at all. Even a person like Yiping No one made the list,"

If Feng Yiping was present, he would definitely feel that this guy has ulterior motives. Hurun's list has always had mixed reputations. In the market, it is also known as the "killing pig list". Although this is biased, it is undeniable. Yes, it is indeed representative.

For example, Yang Bin, who ranked second on the rich list last year, and Yang Rong, who ranked third, did have problems shortly after they made the list. One went to jail and the other went overseas.

Therefore, for such a list, Feng Yiping feels that it is better to stay as far away as possible.

Zheng Jiayi also quickly saw the news.

Parents were passive and did not support her plan to go abroad as an exchange student, but she was stillborn. At this time, she, who was already a senior, was arranged by her family to work in the leading group for the construction of the provincial campus network. It is her work unit after graduation.

Because of her work relationship and some reasons, she paid close attention to the official websites of Jiasheng and Stanford. When she got to work, she felt a lot of emotion when she saw the news. The female boss called her several times before she realized, "Leader, what's the matter?"

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

"Oh nothing,"

The female leader has sharp eyes and has already seen the webpage she opened, "Yo, a Chinese college student with a personal investment of 150 million US dollars? Tsk tsk, amazing! What, do you know?"

"Yes, I know him. In the freshman year of high school, he sat in the front row of me,"

"There is such a classmate, be proud, hey, when he returns to China, why don't we meet him, at least a billionaire!"

"Yes, proud of him,"

A male colleague interjected, "Jiayi, he wasn't your suitor back then!"

"Where is it?" Zheng Jiayi answered indiscriminately, and stood up, "I'm going to fetch water,"

In Washington, in the middle of the night, Ma Ling hugged little Vincent and wandered around the room again, and said fiercely, "You little villain, mom has to go to school tomorrow with big dark circles under her eyes, I tell you, this is the last time , if you cry again at night, I will throw you on the sofa in the living room, "

The little guy's eyes were bright, and he held on to one of his mother's saliva-filled fingers, "Yeah," he said some syllables with unclear meanings in a childish voice, laughing happily.

The anger on Ma Ling's face dissipated immediately, and he gave his son a firm kiss on his chubby little face, "Such a cute and handsome baby, why is mother willing to leave you on the sofa, isn't she? Hee hee !

Come on, mom reads the newspaper to you, Google accepts the largest personal investment, and hires the investor as the director of strategy, do you know who this person is? "
