Chapter 935 Urgent Need for Improvement?

Google, walking here again, Feng Yiping naturally felt that his connection with this place has become closer, and he really has the feeling that this is his own company.

The reason is naturally that after the two-day meeting in Lake Tahoe, the relationship between myself and the founder of this company has taken a step further, and those two guys are the real core of Google.

Feng Yiping was officially accepted by the two of them, and he became one of the core of Google. Google also officially had a troika.

Walking here now, Feng Yiping finally feels like he is in another company of his own, no longer like a guest.

The first person he ran into was Schmidt, who had been drifting outside the core, and was later one of Google's troika.

"Feng, wait," Schmidt stopped him.

In fact, Feng Yiping felt that the reporter who wrote that Schmidt was one of Google's troikas really didn't have a deep enough understanding of Google's inside story, and it was very superficial.

Later on, from the surface, Schmidt, who was the CEO first and then the chairman, really looked like he and Page and Brin were in charge of each other and jointly made decisions. Is that really what it looked like? Not really.

As long as one or two things can be seen, some clues can be seen.

When Schmidt handed over the CEO job to Page, he posted on social media, "The young man has grown up and no longer needs adult supervision,"

It was 11 years, and Page was 37 years old, almost forty, not that he had grown up, but had grown up a long time ago.

After becoming the chairman, Schmidt has more time to give various speeches everywhere. In his very frequent speeches, some things did not attract too many people's attention.

For example, he has said more than once on different occasions that he is the CEO of the company, but he, the CEO, does not know about Google's many mergers and acquisitions. For example, Google's very critical merger and acquisition, the acquisition of Android.

This point is enough to show that he was not accepted by the two Googlers from the beginning to the end, and became the real core of Google. The harmony and tacit cooperation of the three people were more of a performance in front of the media.

Inner, he, the superficial leader, probably doesn't have any real power.

Otherwise, how can such things as mergers and acquisitions be carried out without going through the CEO? And not only together!

As an entrepreneur, Feng Yiping understands the feelings of Page and Brin.

After working so hard to do one thing, because of lack of money, we have to bring in investors, sign such and such terms, and in the end, even the right to be the master of the house must be handed over to others. Who would be willing, who would be happy?

Well-known high-tech companies in the United States did not have such precedents before, such as Microsoft and Apple, and there has never been such a thing since then, such as Facebook later. When Xiao Zha started his business, he was younger than Page and the others.

So speaking of it, it was really only the two of them who had such an experience.

To them, Schmidt is equivalent to the emperor. If they can really have a good relationship with Schmidt, it would be strange!

Besides, Schmidt, in a well-known and thriving company, he has been the CEO for so long, so he has no idea? For example, become a character like Jack Welch, who even the shareholders revolve around him? No wonder!

He also doesn't have the innate advantage of Feng Yiping.

Outside of Google, Feng Yiping has his own business, which is also thriving. He has no intention or intention to fight for power and profit at Google, so he can be very optimistic and fair at Google, without any calculations.

Therefore, Feng Yiping is not ashamed at all for taking the place of one of Schmidt's troikas. He has become numb to all kinds of grabbing titles, and has long since ignored it.

"Schmidt, what's the matter?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Come in and say," Schmidt pulled him into the office, "Feng, do you have to use auction pricing for the listing?"

Sure enough, that's what he asked.

"Schmidt, this is not a question of which method must be used, but a question of which method is more beneficial to the company and shareholders,"

"Your conclusion is that auction pricing is more beneficial to the company? Have you considered the difficulty of auction pricing comprehensively? Have you ever wondered whether there is such a successful precedent before?"

Schmidt was very excited. He had been preparing for the IPO. Once this conclusion came out, his many preparations and plans were all in vain.

"From the perspective of the rules, it is true that auction pricing is more beneficial to the company and shareholders, isn't it?" Feng Yiping said, "It is precisely because of the anticipated difficulties in doing so that we have to formulate various action plans from now on. , make various preparations in advance.”

"We are also planning to discuss this issue at the board meeting,"

"That would still pass, of course," Schmidt said.

Naturally it will pass! Together, the three of Feng Yiping and the others now hold nearly 70% of the voting power.

"Schmidt, in fact, you should thank me. Do you know that Page and the others insisted on the two-tier shareholding design before,"

"Huh?" Schmidt was stunned.

If you still insist on the two-tier shareholding design, then the difficulty of going public will increase a lot, at least in terms of gaining the understanding of investors and the public, it will not be a little bit more difficult.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded. He also hoped that Schmidt would think about why Page and the others gave up the two-tier shareholding design after Feng Yiping persuaded them.

After talking about this, Feng Yiping originally wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he said a few more words, "Schmidt, you are a person with rich experience and outstanding ability. Personally, I very much hope to work with a professional like you. "

"Since the listing has been put on the agenda, and some relationships are about to change, then all of us should make some adjustments, right?"

Feng Yiping believes that he can understand what he means. After listing, venture capital will usually withdraw, so Schmidt's other identity, the mission as a supervisor assigned by venture capital, can end.

Even if VCs are optimistic about Google and are unwilling to withdraw completely, the relationship between Schmidt and VCs is still very different from before the listing, because no matter whether Page and the others are happy or not, they must give Schmidt options. About 5%, Schmidt's main identity at that time was Google's shareholders and executives.

Leaving Schmidt full of thoughts, Feng Yiping went to find Page.

As he expected, he still returned to his slovenly routine. It wasn't until Feng Yiping knocked on his desk that he raised his head and asked, "Hi!"

They are not as enthusiastic as before, and it can also be said that they are not as alien as before.

"Save it, let's go eat,"

"You go first, I'll talk about it after I finish these things," said Page, who bowed his head and was busy after a while.

Feng Yiping had to block his keyboard, "Let's go, don't you care what I do these days?"

…………

After a while, Google's restaurants have changed a lot, most notably, the percentage of slovenly people has risen dramatically.

After looking at most of these, and then looking at Mayer by the window, she is fashionable, clean and beautiful, and she really has a sense of elegance and independence.

The dishes have also changed. There is already boiled fish, so Paige naturally ordered one.

Even Brin seemed very interested. I don't know if they really like it or take it as a challenge.

"You don't need to show off, we have all paid attention to your measures and achievements after annexing Coin Star," Page said with a grin.

The boiled fish is still close to authentic. Except for the sauerkraut and the chef's knife skills, there is room for improvement. The others are still authentic, so they are still very spicy.

"How can this be considered showing off? This is to share my joy with you, and please look forward to the wonderful follow-up,"

In fact, everyone understood that Feng Yiping said this in order to attract them to have a good meal.

"What's exciting in the future?"

"Hehe, there will be another new move in a few days,"

Before Feng Yiping showed any new moves, someone next to him joined in with a plate, Schmidt.

"Hi," "Hi," several people greeted warmly, but as soon as Schmidt joined, Feng Yiping obviously felt that the atmosphere at the table was obviously not as friendly and relaxed as before.

"Hehe, I haven't seen the two of you coming to the restaurant during the meal time for several days," Schmidt laughed, "Feng, you should come here often, only you can pull them away from the desk,"

Schmidt wisely didn't ask them what they had been talking about so happily before.

"Just hold on for a while longer," Page said dryly.

"Feng, your recent series of actions are very exciting, but I think you still have something that is lacking. Of course, this is the same for us at Google. It is also not in place and needs to be improved urgently,"

Schmidt changed his previous speaking style, and it was just like this, with a certain smell of gunpowder, and his words were not too polite.

Not to mention Page and the others, even Feng Yiping was taken aback.
