At this time, what Li Feng said to Eric Schmidt was carefully thought out in his heart, and in the original history, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin were known as Google's troika, and Google achieved glory with the efforts of the three.

In today's Li Feng's view, Eric's role is even greater than that of Larry and Sergei, after all, although the two have technical advantages, but after a certain stage, Google no longer relies on the technology of the two, although the two hold patented technology.

How to navigate a behemoth like Google is the key, and there is no doubt that Eric Schmidt has done a very good job of this, and even trained Larry Page to become a qualified CEO of a top tech company, and in this regard, Eric Schmidt has done a really good job.

In fact, Feixun has developed to what it is today, and it must be admitted that although Europe and the United States also use instant messaging, the revenue of the penguins in the previous life still mainly depends on games, and to be honest, this point does not work in Europe and the United States.

The United States imperialists prefer those stand-alone games and platform games, and the competition in the game industry of the United States is too fierce, from a large number of game development companies in Europe and the United States to the traditional game industry giants in South Korea and Japan, they are all gathered here, and it is too difficult to make a lot of money from games like penguins in the previous life.

Therefore, today's Feixun only needs to follow the step-by-step line, perhaps when the future social network comes, it is the glorious period of instant messaging software in Europe and the United States, relying on the monopoly of instant messaging software giants in Europe and the United States, inserted in the advent of social networks, maybe the history of FB and Xiaozha in later generations will be rewritten.

……

Of course, Europe and the United States also have a positive side, that is, they are accustomed to charging for use, and it can be seen from the use of YY members that the proportion of members far exceeds that of Huaxia in the previous life, and the revenue on the casual game platform is enough to ensure the development of Feixun.

It is precisely because of this situation that Li Feng feels that it is a bit of a waste to put a big talent like Eric Schmidt in the position of CEO of Feixun, so he will consider letting Eric return to the big ship of Google again and return to the right track of history.

Eric Schmidt naturally didn't know what was going on, and was naturally shocked by Li Feng's sudden proposal, but Eric also understood Li Feng's personality and knew that his boss was not a person who spoke up, so since he raised such a question, he naturally had some ideas.

So if you really become the CEO of Google, substituted into such a role, you will lead Google in which direction, as Li Feng's Internet helmsman, agent, naturally understand his own boss, although his own boss does not understand Internet technology, but in terms of Internet forward-looking, Eric even asserted that no one can see farther than his own boss.

Since we talked about the profitability of search engines before, maybe my boss has a new development model for search engines, and according to the successful precedent of my boss, Eric will ask Li Feng if he has a new idea for Google.

Naturally, with Li Feng's response of 'you are all roundworms in your stomach', Eric was suddenly taken aback in his heart, although he expected it, but he was still shocked, could it be that his boss really has a new search engine model, or even a new profit model.

……

"Erik, which do you think is more promising in the future, Google or Feixun?" Looking at Eric Schmidt's stunned appearance because of his sudden proposal, Li Feng couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"BOSS, is Google more important than Feixun in your mind?" asked Eric Schmidt in surprise.

"What will happen in the future, who knows!" Li Feng thought for a while, and finally replied vaguely, after all, there are some things that Li Feng can't explain for the time being.

In the midst of chatting, Li Feng and his entourage returned to the Feixun office building again.

"Eric, YY's side is stable for the time being, and then you go to Google for a while, let's discuss the next development issues of Google, including financing and the repurchase of shares by Larry and Sergey. At this time, back in the office of the chairman of Feixun, after Li Feng sat down with Eric and Wang Siqing, Li Feng said to him.

"BOSS, first of all, we need to determine Google's new valuation, and then discuss the buyback with Larry and Sergey, I wonder if you have any ideas in mind about Google's valuation?" Schmidt asked with a smile.

"How much money have we invested in Google, and how much money is left in Google's account?" Li Feng thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Google has invested a total of $50 million, except for the first one you acquired, the rest of the capital injections have been injected in two successions. As for Google's account, I also saw it in the financial statements a few days ago, and it seems that there are less than 15 million funds, but in fact, Google's scale is not small now, and this money will not be easy to use in a few days. ”

"Then we always need 10 times the investment amount, right?" Li Feng proposed with a smile.

"Uh... According to your usual style and principles, I think it is feasible. ”

"John, if that's the case, I don't think Larry and Sergey will buy back more than 10% or less. Wang Siqing said with a smile at this time.

"Haha..."

……

"BOSS, do you want to talk about financing before buying back or buying back and then financing?" Eric said suddenly.

"You can talk about it, but if you buy back first and then refinance, when the time comes to buy, the price can be discounted to them. Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Okay, then I see, I'll go and get in touch with Larry and Sergey first, I think the two of them should have a wise choice. Eric replied with a smile.

Obviously, Li Feng's meaning is very clear, first repurchase and then talk about financing, in this way, the shares of the two can be reduced again through financing, and in order to appease the two, it was specially explained that the repurchase price can be a little lower than the financing valuation, I believe that when it comes to their own interests, Larry and Eric should know how to choose.

"Okay, then let's do it, Eric, you first go and get in touch with Larry and those venture capitalists, let the wind out, and say that Google is ready to launch a Series A financing, and specifically explain that maybe Google will raise money once or twice in the future, let everyone who has ideas come." After explaining to Eric again and discussing with each other, Li Feng finally affirmed with a smile.

"Understand, apart from Google, I think that although Feixun has been able to break even, then I think it can raise money for the last time before going public without preparing to go public, what do you think?"

"Isn't it a bit of a loss for Feixun to start financing now, and in the future, our portal, mailbox and other projects will be launched, will the valuation be greater at that time?"

……

"BOSS, don't you want to give up to Yahoo temporarily, considering the value of your Yahoo shares, we can first make a future plan for those capital institutions.

Everyone is smart enough, according to the huge number of users of our Feixun, whether it is the launch of the portal or the mailbox, it has a unique advantage, and these people will see our potential.

As for when we will officially launch it, we can negotiate with Yahoo and other major organizations, we are still mainly occupying instant messaging software users, and it would be best if we can choose an outcome that all parties can be satisfied with. Eric explained with a smile.

"Okay, let's decide, Eric you're going to be busy!"

"Haha... It's my favorite thing, isn't it?"

"OK, I'll do the biggest logistics for you, you can talk about it boldly, I'll support you if there's anything." ”

"That's naturally the best, boss, your presence is our biggest backing. ”

"You... , this sycophant shoots... I like it... , haha..."

A morning went by. After a Silicon Valley lunch in the cafeteria of Feixun Technology, Li Feng led people towards Yahoo's headquarters not far away.
