Chapter 175: The Genius of India
After Zhou Shi unexpectedly became popular in the United States, he always felt that something was wrong, how could there be love for no reason in this world. But life has to go on, well~~ It should be that work has to go on. After Microsoft and Yahoo raised prices several times, YouTube's valuation reached $7 billion, and both sides still have no intention of giving up. Zhou Shi sometimes really wants to scold them, with so much money, why not set up a company like this by himself and burn it for a year or two, how can it be effective. Besides, if you burn a billion dollars a year, you can burn it for many years. Perhaps they also think that the current stock market value is very high and may decline at any time, and it is not much to buy high-quality assets such as oil pipes at the current stock price.
Although the development of Time Browser is very good, it is not as good as Zhou Shi imagined, according to the latest statistics, the market share of Time Browser is only three percent. Time UC on mobile, since the optimization of English, the current development is still okay. And the development of Time System Company has not found a suitable host candidate, Li Yinan is still stealing teachers at Google, even if he comes out, it is not good to continue to do system research and development, and Google is not so easy to bully.
When Zhou Shi was worried about the person in charge of Time Company, Li Yinan recommended someone for Zhou Shi. While eating at Google, he met an Indian, and he and Li Yinan discussed the problem of Time Browser, which left a deep impression on Li Yinan.
"You've been talking for a long time, who is this person?" Zhou Shi felt a little anxious after asking, there are so many people in Google, how many do he know, even if Li Yinan says it, the probability of Zhou Shi knowing is also very low, it can't be Sergei, right?
"This person's name is Sundar Pichai," Li Yinan glanced at Zhou Shi with contemptuous eyes
MMP, Li Yinan has a problem with his brain! I don't know that Zhou Shi is his boss, so the big boss is unhappy, and he will give him small shoes to wear sooner or later. Wait a minute......
"Sundar Pichai?" Zhou Shi was a little unsure.
"That's right, it's Sundar Pichai" Li Yinan
"Then invite him over, let's talk about it and we'll know if it's okay," Zhou Shi said pretending to be indifferent, and the hand hidden behind him couldn't help but tremble. Sundar Pichai, the future CEO of Google, we are working together now, isn't it good to pry their corners at this time? But I think someone at Google said before, "Google's talent is poached by everyone, and soon someone else can come up, and no one here is indispensable." ”
MMP, whether this sentence was said by Huawei or Google. Zhou Shi is no longer sure, anyway, he decided to dig this person, anyway, there are people who want to be the CEO of Google, and Larry Page will not lack talent. Thinking of the talents hoarded by Google and Microsoft, Zhou Shi drooled, they were all-you-can-eat, but Zhou Shi couldn't find suitable talents for a long time. These giant enterprises are simply the biggest cancer of the Internet society, and what a huge waste of intellectual resources!
At this time, Sundar Pichai was just emerging, and the Google Toolbar he presided over was nothing more than 3721 Internet Assistant, Baidu Toolbar and other rogue software. It was the Google Chrome browser that really made him famous. This artifact has almost changed the order of the Internet society, and since then, the only role that everyone uses IE is to download the Chrome browser. With this credit, many well-known companies in his previous life wanted to poach him, especially Twitter, and wanted him to be the CEO, and he almost agreed. At the last moment, Larry Page stepped in to keep him and kept him at a great price. A few years later, this poor boy from India was promoted and raised, became the general manager, became the CEO, married Bai Fumei, and reached the peak of his life!
After a long period of practical training in poaching, Zhou Shi did not leave behind this craft even when he went to the United States. Even if the "prophet" expires in the future, Zhou Shi can also embark on the glorious and great profession of headhunting. After several pleasant exchanges, Zhou Shi reached an agreement with him. The Time Systems Company, which had not yet been formally established, was stillborn and directly established an independent organization called Time Labs. Responsible for the development and promotion of browsers, Android systems, and Time Music. When the time comes, these projects will be separated. The general person in charge is Zhou Shi, and the specific execution is Sundar Pichai. The browser has taken the old road of Chrome, striving to dominate the earth, and Android has worked hard to get down to Android. Time Music combines the advantages of NetEase Cloud Music and Spotify, and takes the route of social music according to the idea of streaming music. Free users listen to low-quality music with ads, and paid users can listen to unlimited music and have limited downloads. Combined with the friend network for viral promotion, it must also be successful. In the middle and late stages of the company's development, it accepts venture capital and then goes public.
Since he hired Sundar Pichai as the director of Time Laboratory, many people have come to Zhou Shi and made irresponsible remarks, as if he would be guilty of not handing over this position to the Chinese. But how many choices does Zhou Shi have to leave this figure to Google, or let a group of relatively mediocre Chinese people be in charge?
In fact, among the top technology companies in Silicon Valley, there are many Chinese and Indians. However, while Chinese engineers only listen to instructions and work hard every day, Indian engineers who came to the United States earlier have really risen as leaders in the tech world.
The Chinese tend to think that their credit has been taken away by Indians and they cannot find a way to rise. In fact, poor communication skills, reluctance to identify new problems, and disunity within the Chinese community may limit the development of Chinese engineers. You must know that Apple reported in 2012 that Apple has 27,000 people of Indian origin. The future CEO of Microsoft, the CEO of Adobe, etc., are all of Indian origin. If so many large companies are because of internal unfairness, so that the Chinese have no room to rise, then Indians can rule the earth, what else do they have to work for?
In the face of all kinds of voices from the company, Zhou Shi chose to suppress it, and only knew that the employees who complained about the sky should be kicked out as soon as possible. Kick out as soon as possible, maybe the other party can still grow, and shout at Zhou Shi after a few decades, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!"
Zhou Shi was busy adjusting his business in the United States, Lu He also returned to China, Ali's big drama is about to start, if the Taobao option contract like a child's play can really be enforced, Ali will have more support from China in the future.
In the previous life, the domestic Internet rivers and lakes would rather fight back and forth in the country, fighting to the death, rather than go abroad. So much so that many people who eat melons think that it is an overseas policy restriction. In fact, if you understand some of Tengxun's decisions, you can know the reason, Xiao Ma Ge has always been dismissive of industries with profit margins below a certain value. For example, the ultra-low profit margin of the hardware industry is the biggest obstacle for Tengxun to enter the intelligent hardware industry. The high failure rate and relatively harsh legal environment in overseas markets may be the reason why these giants are holding back. You must know that Baidu's trips to Japan and South America in the previous life ended in failure, and this was not for political reasons. It's purely Baidu that can't compete with its opponents, Ali's initial internationalization also ended without a problem, as for WeChat, this is a model of Xiaoma's micro innovation, in other words, it is a model of self-improvement and progress after the Tengxun cottage. After the success of WeChat in China, if it wants to go abroad, software such as hatAPP and line have long occupied the overseas market.
Zhou Shi's entrepreneurship is not only for himself to reach the pinnacle of life, but also to open the eyes of the Chinese people, sit in the well and watch the sky, Yelang is arrogant, these words are really not exaggerated in the domestic high-tech field, extreme self-confidence and extreme inferiority are also their labels, do not hurt do not know the bad, there is no ZTE embargo, do not know the serious consequences of being controlled by people in key areas. Zhou Shi's future is still very far away, but the current crisis is about to appear.
