Google's development is very fast, the existing staff has exceeded 1,000 people, this promising Internet company can be called invincible in the search engine, even if it is far away in China, Du Niang, is not its opponent, the only thing that can stop it, is about the reality of various political considerations.

Zhou Bai knows in his heart that Google's technology is better than Du Niang, but because search engines are becoming more and more important, the domestic political ecology is different from the foreign political ecology, and Google will definitely fall behind in China, which is absolutely inevitable.

It's not unwillingness to do self-restriction Google, but even if it is self-restrictive, because it is foreign, its culture is difficult to adapt to the domestic rules and regulations, and the localization is not thorough enough, so the country will be the world of Du Niang, although this matter is not a glorious thing, but Zhou Bai feels in his heart that it is understandable to do so.

To put it bluntly, the search engine is not just a search, it is naturally associated with propaganda, it is conceivable that it is absolutely impossible to let such a big authority fall into the hands of outsiders, no matter how advanced Google's technology is, it can only exit in the country in the end, and there is no second possibility.

As a shareholder of Google, Zhou Bai certainly hopes that Google's business will develop smoothly, and his interests are linked to Google, but as a Chinese, let him choose, he will not choose the uncontrollable Google, but choose Du Niang.

The position of the station is different, and the things that are looked at are naturally different, the idea of the Google Big Three Zhou Bai vaguely guessed, but he was still not optimistic, even if Zhou Bai was willing to help operate, this matter would not change much, and Zhou Bai did not intend to help.

Zhou Bai and his father Zhou Zhengdao in the share holding concession is not without reason, if they are allowed to hold such a large share, the US government should take action, the so-called openness and freedom, that is to their own people, you a Chinese want to hold so many shares of Google, this kind of thing is they can not tolerate.

Google has begun to cooperate with the U.S. government in an all-round way, and the deeper this cooperation becomes, the more sensitive the shares held by Zhou Bai and his father Zhou Zhengdao become, and converting into non-voting common stock is almost the only option, or unless the two fathers and sons immigrate to the United States and stay in the United States for a long time, it may be possible.

"Dad, today I met Larry, Sergey and Eric, the reduction of the shares held by Google after the listing is inevitable, the only thing we can fight for is how long we can reduce the holdings. After getting out of the warm reception, Zhou Bai returned to the hotel and talked to his father on the phone.

"They also talked to me outside the words, 10% is almost their bottom line, there is the shadow of the government and the consortium behind this, now our power is still too small, and Google is too important, but unfortunately, I started a little late, otherwise they will be stuck in their necks, see how they talk to me. Zhou Zhengdao was silent on the phone for a while, sighed and said.

"These are not what we can remember now, after all, we are Chinese, no matter how much the US government promotes its openness and freedom, it is still wary of us, and if we insist on holding shares according to the investment agreement, Google will also be difficult to do, and if we tear our faces with these founders, we have no chance of winning the lawsuit." Zhou Bai said in a deep voice on the phone, some things will only be known until they are contacted.

"This time it's Google, next time I don't know which company, I won't give up Internet investment, and once Google goes public, our reduced shares can bring us a huge amount of money, I have studied with the team, it is not a good thing to bring all this money back to China, or we have to find new projects to invest." Zhou Zhengdao exhaled softly and suppressed the fire in his heart.

"The Internet has a lot to offer, and with our success again and again, this kind of resistance from politics will only get smaller and smaller, and I believe that one day when our energy is spread throughout the Internet industry, neither the consortium nor the government will easily offend us. Zhou Bai smiled, no one knew the future development trend better than him.

"Well, take your time, you don't have to work too hard in the United States, your mother is talking to you every day, and now your father and I have laid the foundation for investment in China, even if we don't have overseas investment in the future, it is an existence that others can only look up to. Zhou Zhengdao did not doubt his son's words, and instead cared about his son's life.

"I know my father, I came to the United States for filming, Google's affairs are not so important, IPO is never a simple matter, even if it goes well, it will take a year, with the two founders of Google and the shrewd CEO, we will not suffer, after all, their interests are also one with us. Zhou Bai said happily, sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai is his current state.

"That's good, these times I put my energy into the country, at the end of last year, the registered users of Penguin have exceeded 200 million, if there is no accident, it will be officially listed next year, maybe it will be listed before Google, and now the board of directors still has some doubts about this aspect, there are really a lot of things. Ali's shopping platform is also ready to be launched, even if it is an investor, it is a headache to involve all aspects of things, if it is not for the current team in operation, I can't cope with it alone anyway. Zhou Zhengdao said with a headache.

Because of Zhou Zhengdao's financial support, Penguin has developed better than in history, and going public is an inevitable thing.

"Penguin will become an empire in the future, even if it is listed, we will try not to reduce the shares in our hands as much as possible, this can be retained, unlike Google, Penguin will not lose much to Google in the future, these are long-term investments, we must not do this kind of thing to make money from listing. Zhou Bai was also very happy in his heart, the seeds planted a few years ago were about to blossom and bear fruit, this pride was indescribable, and at the same time, he couldn't help but remind his father.

Google can't keep it, otherwise Zhou Bai wouldn't have reduced his holdings so much at once, and Penguin doesn't have such pressure from the will of the country, so there is no problem at all in retaining the vast majority of the shares.

"I know, looking at Penguin's company from small to large, I am also optimistic about its future, although its profit is not very much at present, but the prospects are considerable, I am not short of money now, I will not do things like killing chickens and eggs, by the way, what is the financial situation of Google?"

"Today they also showed me the financial report, OK, although the profit is not very high, but the overall development is like a good direction, it is expected that the total revenue in the first half of this year may exceed 700 million US dollars, the profit can be one-tenth, now Google is expanding aggressively, and it is also because of the IPO that it is going to be IPO, otherwise they can quickly make this money. Zhou Bai said, of course, it is impossible to go to Google just to chat, and he will not ignore the information he should know.
