In 2000, Mr. Liu gave up his chance to be a university professor and joined Baidu, the company's first employee and the most senior, except for its two founders.

As the head of Baidu's technical department, he has overcome countless technical difficulties, and he hates Bi Sheng's behavior of destroying his own ambition and growing the prestige of others.

He couldn't stand it any longer, stood up, and accused bitterly,

"Our technical employees have paid too much for the company! When you are thirsty, you can drink some cold water, when you are hungry, you can eat a bowl of instant noodles, and when you are sleepy, you pull out the mattress under the desk. Everyone works all night, day and night, and constantly improves, so that we have the best products and the best customer experience. Isn't it chilling to your colleagues that you give credit to someone else?"

Someone saw the wind and steered, and immediately said, "Mr. Liu, don't be angry." We were all taken aback when we saw the new data, and it was just a joke. The technical department is the most important department of our company, representing the core technology of our company and playing an irreplaceable role. ”

Bi Sheng cocked Erlang's legs, smiled without smiling, and retorted without yin or yang,

"Liu Gong, what I said just now seems to be a report meeting of advanced people on the news! The style is too high, but it is a bit of a punishment; if the working environment of the company's colleagues is as difficult as you said, and the logistics department and administrative department are all unqualified, everyone should be fired!"

Hearing Bi Sheng misinterpret his meaning like this, Liu Jianguo was so angry that his liver hurt, and when he saw the face of his logistics colleague, it was obviously darkened, and he didn't dare to argue anymore, afraid that things would get darker and darker.

He constantly slandered his mind: People who engage in sales and marketing have a sharp mouth, and when they touch their upper and lower mouths, the world will immediately become different.

There is no party in the party, the ideology of the emperor, there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things!

The following departments have been fighting for power and profit for a long time, but on the eve of listing, if there is an internal disagreement, it will give investors an illusion and may affect the success of the listing, which cannot be tolerated!

Robin Li glared at Bi Sheng lightly, turned his head, and comforted Liu Jianguo,

"Mr. Liu, the KPI of your technical department last month was the first in the company. Google's experts also praised the new ideas and efficiency of our architecture. Now is a difficult time for the company, and everyone must work together. The company is not listed for a day, and the stocks in everyone's hands are all waste paper. I hope that all colleagues will work together to stand the most important post for the company and for themselves!"

The boss's words poured a basin of cold water on everyone, but thinking of the grand occasion after the listing, everyone was like a chicken blood.

……

Bi Sheng left the conference room with a broken face, sat down on the boss's chair fiercely, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

He thinks that his contribution to the company is not as good as Robin Li and co-founder Xu Yong, but it is not much different from Liu Jianguo and others; the company's more than 700 people, no matter how they are calculated, should be ranked in the top few and should not be treated differently by leaders.

Baidu is on the eve of listing, years of hard work, immediately see the harvest, there are constantly heroes to defect, Liang Dong from Phoenix Satellite TV, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Wang Zhansheng, have joined the company one after another.

Several newcomers have just arrived, and they have been appointed as vice presidents of the company, and they have received much more shares than the old ones; coupled with the slight glance of the boss at today's meeting, Bi Sheng was a little disheartened and had a sense of leaving.

He thought of Sun Buqi's call last night: asking about his future and whether he had any plans to start a business; he refused at that time, he wanted to die in Baidu, but now it seems a little difficult.

……

After the meeting, Robin Li immediately shared the company's latest relevant data and Baidu's growth rate in the Chinese market with the listing cultivation team.

He stood up, waved his hands, and said in high spirits: "At this rate, by going public in August, the number of visits to our company will reach 6% of Google." The company's valuation should also be used as a reference, is $20 more appropriate?"

Tang Hua of Goldman Sachs, tall and strong, with a thick beard and a white blush, often mingles in the alleys and bars of the capital, and is a little happy.

He shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, opened his eyes wide, and shouted in horror, "Rinbo, are you crazy? $20 is a fantasy, the market can't accept it! $15 is the most suitable price for Baidu." ”

Robin Li gently shook the information in his hand, pointed to the newly released data, looked a little excited, and argued with reason.

"Dear Tang, I'm sober, I've been sober! Even if the IPO is set at $20, Baidu's market capitalization is less than 1% of Google's. There's a world of difference between 6% of web page views and 1% of market capitalization. The issue price of $15 shows that your market research is insufficient, and the two of you are destined to become a joke on Wall Street!"

Investment banks and securities firms, if they cannot help maximize the interests of customers, will suffer huge losses to their reputation, which will cause potential customer loss.

Before working with Sun, Robin Li priced the stock at $16-$18, but now the results are gratifying, and he directly raised the psychological price to $20, and the company's market value soared by 20%.

First Boston's Windsor, perennial dark dress, a pair of black large-rimmed glasses on his face, and an expression on his face that no one should enter. Every day's footprint, except for the 12th floor of the ideal building, is the hotel, and never set foot in the third place.

She pushed her eyes, her face grim, "China's GDP is less than one-seventh of that of the United States, and per capita is even more unbearable." We must admit the gap between the two countries and peoples, and we cannot make a simple analogy, and the pricing of Baidu and Google must also be based on this!"

Robin Li was very annoyed with Windsor, speaking harshly and coldly, like a puritan old virgin, but since he chose First Boston and Goldman Sachs as Baidu's sponsors, he could only pinch his nose and endure it.

He opened the World Bank's newly released chart of GDP by country, tepid, still elegant,

"Ms. Windsor, we can't look at the world with static eyes. In the past year, China's GDP growth rate has exceeded 10 percent, while the United States has less than 4 percent, and if this rate is maintained, it will reach half the size of your country in 10 years. We must not only look at the present, but also take a long-term view. China has a population of 1.3 billion and 300 million Internet users, and there is still endless potential to be tapped. Everyone invests in Baidu, not only to invest in our company, but also to covet the vast Chinese market!"

Tang Hua was a lover of Han culture, and after arriving in China, he followed the customs of the locals and took a Chinese name. There are Chinatowns in big cities in the United States, named "Tang Hua", and let the other party call themselves "Old Tang" when they meet people.

He frowned, shrugged, and nodded, "Well, you drew a piece of pie and seduced me. What you just said, bin, you have to ensure that the company's growth rate is continuous, at least during the silent period of listing, there will be no major fluctuations, no major landslides. ”

Tang Hua looked mysterious, secretly leaned in front of Li Yanhong's ear, and lowered his voice,

"My friends at Microsoft have complained to me that your country doesn't take copyright seriously and openly supports piracy. This new advertising channel, which seems to be not very glorious, is Microsoft's biggest pirate in China. Another point is that Baidu has no initiative and is in a weak position, and the other party can terminate the contract at any time. I know that you Chinese have such a tradition, it seems to be called sitting on the ground and starting the price!"

In his spare time, Tang Hua often carries a backpack and a camera, rides a bicycle, wanders around the large and small alleys of the capital, and rewalks the path of former President George H.W. Bush.

He haggled with the vendors on Silk Street, fought with the profiteers at the zoo, learned broken Chinese, and was particularly happy when he said "sit on the ground and start the price" in Chinese.

Robin Li twitched the corners of his mouth, his face tightened, but he couldn't laugh: Sun Buqi is not a peaceful person, and he can really do such a conscientious thing!, you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
