535 Long-term Silicon Valley layout considerations
"First of all, I don't mind financing, after all, Silicon Valley does not have the habit of eating alone, and I will naturally adapt to the entrepreneurial environment of Silicon Valley.
As for the two of you to buy back some of the shares, you can talk about it, but you two have to pay attention, I never make a loss-making transaction. Seeing Larry and Sergei staring at him nervously, Li Feng secretly laughed in his heart, and finally said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, hearing Li Feng's final words, the two sighed lightly, obviously, the two were nervous before, and now Google, especially from the beginning to Yahoo to do search support, has been supported by Internet users, the future is bright, if you can get more shares, for Larry and Sergey, it is naturally psychologically happy.
However, the two of them have no choice now, at this time the two of them can't help but be secretly depressed, hating why they couldn't hold their breath in the first place, why they sold Google completely for $1 million, and now it's too late to regret it, everything in the entire Google company belongs to Li Feng's Skynet Technology Company.
Similarly, for Li Feng, this is also what he thinks in his heart, but while agreeing, he naturally has to beat the two of them for a while, otherwise, who knows what these two unconscious bigwigs will make in the future.
"However, Larry, Sergey, I don't think I'm the boss who picks the door, whether it's the original million-dollar acquisition or the free 10% of each of your shares, I should be generous, and this time I agree to your request, I think it's the last time. Thinking of this, he suddenly spoke again.
"John, thank you, we know that we will both devote ourselves to the future development of Google, by the way, John, how many shares are you willing to give us a buyback?" Larry responded happily at this time, and asked a little apprehensively.
"Haha... Don't worry, I can promise at least 5%, as for how much, let's talk about it in detail later. ”
"OK, John, thank you!"
“…”
……
"Erik, what do you think of Google?" On the way back to Feixun, Li Feng suddenly asked Eric Schmidt with a smile.
"BOSS, although Google now relies on helping sites like Yahoo to do search support to get a certain fee, but with the increasing number of Internet users, it is obviously far from enough to rely on the cost of technical support.
The early Internet search companies may rely on such a profit model to support enough, but with the continuous increase in visits, the operating costs of search engine companies will continue to increase, and there is no doubt that finding a new profit model for search engines has become an urgent problem. ”
"Yes, I've heard that with the introduction of Google, which is more technologically advanced, the two early search companies of Inktomi and Infoseek are getting harder and harder. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Yes, Inktomi has always been Yahoo's search technology supplier before, and in the face of direct competition from Google, it is clear that Google is significantly stronger in technology, which naturally makes Inktomi uncomfortable.
As for Infoseek, since Netscape failed from the browser competition, decay has become inevitable, and it is reported that Microsoft also has plans to launch its own search engine, if it relies on Microsoft's operating system and browser, perhaps Microsoft's search engine is our biggest opponent. ”
"Microsoft, don't worry, although Netscape failed this time, Microsoft is facing an anti-monopoly investigation, which is enough for him to drink a pot, if Microsoft wants to monopolize the Internet market alone, no one will agree. Li Feng replied with a smile.
……
Li Feng naturally knows Microsoft, and if you want to talk about it seriously, with the monopoly of the operating system, Microsoft really has unique conditions, and if it really wants to launch its own search engine, relying on the monopoly cooperation of the operating system, it will definitely be able to strangle Google.
But when facing a strong opponent, Microsoft also needs to compromise, and no one wants to see a single Microsoft monopolize the PC side.
This Netscape sued Microsoft for monopolistic competition and anti-monopoly investigation, but it was supported by the entire Silicon Valley, not only Silicon Valley, but also by Wall Street bigwigs, which is really too popular with Microsoft today, with the launch of the 95 operating system, look at the value of Gates and Allen's two classmates, one step a year, it is too conspicuous.
With the start of the antitrust investigation, many people have been eyeing Microsoft, all thinking about taking a bite from Microsoft.
Of course, from Li Feng's perspective from later generations, Microsoft used the monopoly of the operating system to launch IE and win the browser battle, which was a victory at the time, but from the perspective of later generations, it was obviously unfavorable.
After all, since this time, as long as Microsoft uses the operating system to launch anything, it will always face anti-monopoly investigations, and Microsoft in later generations has been caught in anti-monopoly investigations for I don't know how many times.
In particular, after facing the anti-monopoly investigation, we can see that Gates's Microsoft shares are constantly decreasing, and last year, Gates's shares had more than 4 layers of Microsoft shares. Otherwise, why was it worth more than 30 billion last year, and the market value of Microsoft at that time was only 10 billion units, mainly because Gates had too many shares.
However, everyone in later generations knows that Gates was not worth more than 100 billion at the peak of the bubble, you know, at the peak of the bubble, Microsoft's market value exceeded 500 billion, and if it is calculated with more than 4 layers of shares before 97, it is worth more than 200 billion.
......
It can be said that an anti-monopoly investigation has caused Gates to lose so much. In order to avoid Microsoft being broken up, I don't know how many private transactions there were, anyway, after the antitrust investigation, Gates's stake fell sharply, and some investment institutions that had never heard of it became shareholders of Microsoft. Where did these shares come from, to put it bluntly, Gates had to transfer and sell all the shares in his hands in order to cope with the fate of Microsoft's spin-off.
Similarly, it also kicked off the curtain for Gates to continue to reduce his holdings in the future.
As a descendant, Li Feng naturally knows that in the future, Google will continue to face anti-monopoly investigations from the EU, as if the EU has conducted several anti-monopoly investigations and has been fined for hundreds of millions of dollars.
In this regard, Google in the previous life has never had an anti-monopoly investigation in the United States, although from time to time there is news that it is an anti-monopoly investigation, but after Google's public relations, the United States has always been able to sit back and relax.
In fact, in Li Feng's view, because Google is a Silicon Valley company, the tradition has always been to share wealth, Google's two founders, even at the peak of Google's market value, are worth only 4, 50 billion, facing a market value of 7, 800 billion, less than 10% of the shares.
The shareholders behind Google are too complex, from those capital in Silicon Valley to Wall Street capital to those investment institutions in Washington, etc., no wonder Google can sit back and relax in the United States.
......
Compared with today's Microsoft, think about the Google of later generations, in a word, Gates's personal shares are too much, and too many people are red-eyed.
In Li Feng's mind, Gates must have been depressed at this time, knowing that the result of competing with Netscape would be like this, and he would never be hot-headed to use the monopoly advantage of the operating system to engage in it, which is really more than worth the loss.
It is precisely because of these truths that Li Feng never thought that Google, including Feixun, would firmly control the shares in his hands, and always share a part of it, which is also the long-term consideration and future layout of his Silicon Valley Technology Group.
There is also the fact that the shares in his hands have been dispersed from the beginning, and his personal holdings are very small, although outsiders know that Li Feng's personal shares are by no means only these, and no one knows the specifics.
For these shares that are destined to be hot, Li Feng has worked hard, for example, 80% of Google's shares at the beginning, and then every once in a while to add a fund or institution, and these companies are through the acquisition of Li Feng's original shares in name, and now, Li Feng's personal shares are about to fall below 30%.
"Erik, which one do you say is more promising, Google or Feixun?" Li Feng suddenly asked Erik.
"Hmm... ,BOSS, do you have any new ideas for Google's development?"
"Wow... Why do you think so?"
"Haha... I don't know you yet, but you're the famous St. John Lee, the son of wealth in the United States!"
"Erik, you're about to become a roundworm in my stomach, why don't you go to Google as a CEO?"
"Ahh???h
