Chapter 174: The Surprised Trio
"Man, you're a little impulsive today," Brin said to Page, who was driving.
The latter was putting the notebook on his lap at this time, engrossed in writing the new plan, and the conversation with Feng Yiping just now gave him too much inspiration, so he had to write it down quickly.
"Ah, what are you talking about?" The following words showed that he had just been completely immersed in his own world, "As far as today's conversation is concerned, I want to write a company's development strategy in the next two days, and ask Feng to help revise and improve it at that time,"
"Is that too early? He hasn't agreed yet?"
"He'll agree," Page said shrewdly, "think about it, two of the companies that Feng has acquired and invested in are related to digital maps, and he's already working to achieve his goals,"
When they decided to meet with Feng Yiping, they naturally would not fail to make some preparations.
"And who better in search than us?"
This is not a boast, Google is not without competitors, for example, inkto, but, since in 2000, Google snatched Yahoo, a big customer, from the former bowl, this predecessor in the search industry, has been quickly left behind, and some other companies of the same type are not Google's opponents.
"Also, if he's not interested in collaboration, how can he tell us about his idea?"
In front of acquaintances, although Page is still more self-conscious and a little bossy, he is not at all the image of an engineer who is not good at words, and even a little shy and dull in the eyes of outsiders, he is quick to respond and very wise.
"I know all of this," said Brin, somewhat helplessly, "but are you sure we don't need to discuss this matter with Schmidt first?"
"Damn it. Paige closed his laptop and slammed the window hard.
In August last year, Eric Schmidt, who officially replaced Page as a BA at Google or A at Stanford, to apply for a position in management and sales at the company, he would not agree that these jobs that do not require programming skills are also preferred by people who are interested in business and who are computer science graduates like him.
Brin interjected at the right time, "Perhaps, just one meeting, you will agree with us,"
"Hehe, I believe in your vision, I am also very curious about a person with a business school background who Page values so much, so let's discuss a time and invite him to the company, doesn't it mean that he is also considering whether to accept your proposal? It is also necessary for him to come to the company to feel it. Schmidt said with a smile.
Nearly 20 years of work experience has made Schmidt very mellow, and from last year to now, nearly half a year of contact, he has also felt the temper of these two and knows how to get along with them.
"The company can do it at any time, then I will call him immediately, invite him, the day after tomorrow, come to the company the day after tomorrow," Page said, "I hope to cooperate with him as much as possible to improve the company's medium and long-term strategic vision."
After a while, he hung up the phone with a different face, "What's the matter? Did he explicitly refuse?" Schmidt clenched his hands into fists and tapped on the desk.
"What's the problem?" Brin knew his old partner, and his expression was one of surprise, not disappointment.
"He said he wouldn't do it the day after tomorrow, he was going to accompany his girlfriend to the hospital for a routine prenatal checkup, and his girlfriend was more than seven months pregnant," Paige muttered, "He should be 22 years old this year, am I not mistaken?" he asked Brin.
Brin was obviously also a little surprised, and Schmidt heard this, and his fist-clenched hands also knocked the table, so painful that he grinned without moving, "You guys wait a minute," he immediately typed Feng Yiping into the search bar, and read to the result, "A cake, Feng, born in March 1980,"
Holding the mouse, he was also a little confused, "Now young people in China, are they still getting married and having children at such a young age?"
…………
Feng Yiping didn't know about this little episode, if he knew, he would inevitably complain about these Americans, why can't they always see their own problems, please, in your place, are there fewer unmarried mothers under the age of 20? )
