Chapter 69: Need for Improvement in Urgent Need?

Google, walking in here again, Feng Yiping naturally felt that his connection with this was closer, and he really felt that this was his own company.

The reason is naturally that after the two-day meeting in Lake Tahoe, the relationship between me and the founder of this company has gone one 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 cores of Google, and Google also officially had a troika.

Now walking here, Feng Yiping finally has the feeling of being in his other companies, and no longer looks like a guest.

The first thing he encountered was Schmidt, who had been wandering outside the core, which was one of the later Google troikas.

"Von, you wait," Schmidt stopped him.

In fact, Feng Yiping felt that the reporter who wrote that Schmidt was one of Google's troika did not know enough about Google's internal affairs, and it was very superficial.

Later, on the surface, Schmidt, who first became CEO and later chairman, really looked like he was in charge of making decisions with Page and Brin.

As long as you look at one or two things, you can see some clues.

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

It was 11 years, Page was 37 years old, almost forty years old, not already grown, but long gone.

After becoming chairman, Schmidt had more time to give various speeches everywhere, and in his very frequent speeches, there were some things that did not attract too much attention.

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

This is enough to show that he has not been accepted by the two of Google from beginning to end, and has become the real core of Google.

Inside, he, the number one on the surface, is afraid that he does not have any real power.

Otherwise, how can there be such a thing as an M&A that can be carried out without going through the CEO? And more than one!

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

After working hard to do one thing, because of lack of money, I had to introduce investors, signed such and such terms, and in the end, even the right to be the master of my own house had to be surrendered to others, who would be willing, who would be willing?

Well-known high-tech companies in the United States have no such precedents before, such as Microsoft and Apple, and there has never been such a thing since then, such as Facebook, when Xiao Za started his business, he was younger than Page.

So speaking of which, the two of them are really the only ones who have such an experience.

Schmidt is equivalent to the emperor to them, and if they can really have a good relationship with Schmidt, it will be strange!

Besides, Schmidt, in a well-known and thriving company, he has been CEO for so long, he has no ideas? For example, to become a figure like Jack Welch, and even shareholders revolve around him?

He also doesn't have an innate advantage like Feng Yiping.

Outside of Google, Feng Yiping has his own career, which is also thriving, and he has no intention or intention of fighting for power and profit in Google, so he can be very fair and impartial at Google, and will not be mixed with any calculations.

Therefore, Feng Yiping is not ashamed of taking the position of one of Schmidt's troika, for Schmidt, it is just a nominal title - of course, since he has been reborn, Feng Yiping has been numb to various titles, and he has long been uncaring.

"Schmidt, is there something wrong?" Feng Yiping asked.

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

Sure enough, that's the question he asked.

"Schmidt, it's not a question of which way to use, it's a question of which way is better for the company and the shareholders,"

"Have you come to the conclusion that auction pricing is more beneficial to the company? Have you considered the difficulty of auction pricing? Have you ever wondered if there is a precedent for such success?"

Schmidt was very excited, he had been preparing for the listing, and as soon as this conclusion came out, many of his preparations and plans became useless.

"From the point of view 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 we anticipate the difficulty of doing so, so we have to formulate various action plans from now on and make various preparations in advance." ”

"We are also prepared to discuss this issue in the board meeting,"

"Of course it will pass," Mr. Schmidt said.

Feng Yiping and the three of them together now have nearly 70 percent of the voting rights.

"Schmidt, you should actually thank me, you know, Page they also insisted on the two-level equity design before,"

"Huh?" Schmidt was stunned.

If the two-level equity design is still adhered to, the difficulty of listing has increased a lot, at least in terms of obtaining the understanding of investors and the public, it is not a little more difficult.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded, he also hoped that Schmidt would think deeply about why they would give up the two-level equity design after Feng Yiping's persuasion.

After saying this, Feng Yiping originally wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he said a few more words, "Schmidt, you are an experienced and capable person, and I personally very much hope to work with a professional like you,"

"Now that the listing has been put on the agenda, and some relationships are about to change, then all of us should make some adjustments, you say yes,"

Feng Yiping believes that he can understand what he means, and after the listing, the venture capital will generally be withdrawn, and Schmidt's other identity, as the mission of the regulator appointed by the venture capital, can be ended.

Even if venture capitalists are optimistic about Google and are unwilling to withdraw all of them, the relationship between Schmidt and venture capital is still very different from before the listing, because no matter whether Page is happy or not, they must give Schmidt options, which will generally be around 5%, and Schmidt's main identity at that time was Google's shareholder and executive.

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

As he expected, he still returned to his raunchy routine, and it wasn't until Feng Yiping knocked on his desk that he looked up and asked, "Hi!"

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

"Save it, let's go eat,"

"You go first, I'll get this done," said Page after a while, bowing his head and busy with his work.

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

…………

In a while, Google's restaurants have changed a lot, and most notably, the percentage of people who are unkempt has increased dramatically.

After reading most of them, and then looking at Mayer by the window, it is fashionable, clean, and beautiful, and there is really a sense of being out of the dust and leaving the world independent.

The dishes have also changed, and there is already boiled fish, so Page naturally ordered one.

Even Brin was interested, and I wondered if they really liked it or if it was a challenge.

"You don't have to show off, we've all been concerned about your actions and achievements since you acquired 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, and the rest is still quite original, so it is still very spicy.

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

In fact, everyone understands that Feng Yiping said this in order to bring them over for a good meal.

"What's going on?"

"Hehe, there's another new initiative in a few days,"

Feng Yiping hadn't shown any new measures yet, and someone next to him joined in with a dinner plate, Schmidt.

"Hi," "Hey," a few people greeted each other warmly, but as soon as Schmidt joined, Feng Yiping obviously felt that the atmosphere on the table was obviously not as cordial and relaxed as just now.

"Hehe, I haven't seen you two come to the restaurant for dinner at meal time for a few days," Schmidt laughed, "Feng, you should come often, only you can pull the two of them away from your desk,"

Schmidt was amused enough to ask what they had been talking about so happily.

"Just hold on a little longer," Page said with a somewhat dry face.

"Feng, your recent series of actions are very exciting, but, I think you still have, very lacking, of course, this point, we Google is the same, we are also not doing well, and we urgently need to improve,"

Schmidt changed his previous style of speaking, and he came up with a certain smell of gunpowder like this, and he was not very polite.

Not to mention Page, even Feng Yiping was stunned when he heard it. (To be continued.) )
