Chapter 030: Find Someone

Bill Gates once said that if Wang had completed his second strategic turn, there might not be the Microsoft company in the world today.

He, Bill Gates, will not be the hero of the personal computer age, he may have become a mathematician or a lawyer somewhere.

Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately had such a passage in his head. Wang An's failure lies in his insistence on going his own way, knowing that his eldest son Wang Lie, who is in charge of the R&D department, has presided over the development of ten new projects, but none of them have succeeded.

He still let Wang Lie take over, even if he has been opposed by the company's top management, he is stubborn, thinking that the tiger father has no dog.

The direct result was that many people in the company's top management resigned angrily, which made Wang An's computer hurt.

In May 1999, Wang An was acquired by Getronics NV, a Dutch computer services company, for $2 billion. The legendary story of a Chinese pride has come to an end.

The lesson Kishimoto learned from this is that he will not repeat Wang An's mistakes. Even if he makes his career bigger and stronger in the future, he will eventually face the problem of choosing a successor one day.

The soul of Kishimoto is Chinese, and he can fully understand and understand that Wang An's original intention as a father is to inherit his father's business, and he hopes that the family business he created can be passed on from generation to generation, and it is best to be uncorrupted and undefeated for thousands of years.

In contrast, Wang An's old rival IBM also had such a problem, and the founder Watson Sr. hoped that his eldest son, Watson Jr., would succeed him.

Watson Jr.'s initial attitude was that he didn't want to do it, and he always hoped that his father would change his mind so that he could hand over IBM to his younger brother.

In the end, Watson Jr. succeeded IBM and became the greatest capital of all time. He retired successfully, but instead of a father-to-son succession, as his father did, he chose a corporate model in which professional managers managed the family business.

In this respect, he has indeed set up a model of successful management for future generations. For this reason, Kishimoto will not stick to the old ways, and in the future, he will have to pass on the career he has built to his eldest son.

Whoever has the ability will take over. Whether it is the eldest son or other children, he will be treated equally. Of course, in order to have more choices, I will try to have more children.

One woman can't, two, three, four...... He can't work harder, and he is willing to be tired, anyway, the neon country is full of women and men, there is no need to eat more and occupy more, and there will be no embarrassing situation where other men can't marry wives.

When Kishimoto is thinking about it, shouldn't there be a white American girl among his many women, so as to create some mixed-race children.

Black woman? Even if he is not a racist, he has always adhered to the Chinese innate love for white-skinned women.

Masayoshi Kishimoto stood up without hurry and began his own rehearsal. Like the CEOs of high-tech companies who followed Steve Jobs's example, he began to explain the "new product" recommendations.

Kishimoto's "new product" is nothing more than lobbying, the purpose of which is nothing more than to convince Larry Page and Sergey Brin so that they can officially sign with him and accept the check for $100,000 that he had prepared in advance.

Now that he has a clear goal, he begins to stop thinking about the investment options in reserve, after all, single-mindedness can increase the probability of success.

If you leave a way out for yourself in everything, it will be difficult for you to concentrate on tackling tough problems, and it will also create a situation where you can't do anything and eat nothing.

One night passed, the next morning. There is no need to reverse jet lag, and there is no spare time to slowly reverse jet lag, Masayoshi Kishimoto, took a shower before going out, and went out of the hotel dressed as a whole.

He didn't have a suit, after all, he was too serious and formal, which was not conducive to the first meeting and conversation between the two parties. Wearing a shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers on your feet is too casual, and it will inevitably send a false impression to Larry Page and Sergey Brin that they are liars.

Kishimoto wore a light blue casual suit without a tie, a white shirt with trousers, and a pair of casual leather shoes on his feet. I didn't bring it from Tokyo, but bought it in a mall in San Francisco.

When Kishimoto stepped into the campus of Stanford University, he naturally knew that the best place to find someone was the men's dormitory.

Even if he didn't know the specific location of the dormitory building where they lived, it wouldn't be difficult for him, after all, under the nose was the mouth. The mouth can be used to ask for directions.

After asking a few passers-by, Masayoshi Kishimoto successfully found the boys' dormitory. The next thing he had to do was find the dorm manager.

The dormitory manager he met was a middle-aged, fat white man, and politely said, "Excuse me, which dormitory does Larry Page and Sergey Brin live in?"

The middle-aged white man sat in the window and just looked up in a non-respectful manner, and said weakly: "I don't know." ”

Kishimoto immediately understood the meaning of racism in the other party's eyes. Who allowed himself to have an Asian face?

He is not stunned when he ignites at one point and moves when he incites it. He didn't get angry, because it wasn't important, but he had to find Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Otherwise, what are you doing flying all the way from Tokyo to San Francisco for more than ten hours? Is it just to quarrel or fight with a low-level white man? Of course not. He's here to invest.

Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at no one on the left and right, so he took out the wallet he was carrying, took out a hundred dollars from it, put it in front of the other party, and said, "Help me check the student registration book." ”

As soon as a middle-aged white man saw money, his eyes immediately lit up. He took the initiative to stand up, leaned forward and poked his head out of the window, seeing that there was no third person, so he quickly grabbed the money on the table and quickly put it into his right trouser pocket.

The middle-aged white man sat down again, and his attitude immediately changed for the better: "Who are you looking for?"

"Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Kishimoto thought that if he found either of them, he would be able to find the other. Nowadays, even if they don't live together, they often get together to discuss what is on their minds.

"Be specific. Which one?" The middle-aged white man felt that the scope was too much.

Larry Page is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at Stanford University, and Sergey Brin is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science. "Kishimoto said truthfully.

The middle-aged white man opened a drawer on the far left in front of him, searched it for a moment, and then took out a student registration book and began to open it and look down.
