The analogy of the starting and finishing stations touched the heart of Paige, who was thinking about Google's way out, and on the way to Menlo Park, he was thinking about it.

At this time, in the Internet field, portals were the biggest hit, and everyone thought that I had a website, attracted enough traffic, and then put ads on the page, and I could make a profit.

This can't be blamed on them, Internet companies are all burning money, even if they are listed, famous, and have a large number of users, they are still burning money, burning the money of investors and ordinary retail investors, so they want to make money crazy.

As a result, several mainstream search companies want to do one-stop website services, and this is the point, out of a strong desire to make a profit, they all want to keep users on their websites as much as possible.

So Google searches too fast, it's a disadvantage you can believe it!

Luckily, Page and Brin have stuck to this fast, which sets Google apart and wins the hearts and minds of users.

But before they succeed, even the most confident person will feel uneasy when they find themselves at odds with the mainstream view.

Page is, until he listened to what Chen Zier said yesterday.

Brin was also shocked, and he knew his partner and asked, "Are you thinking about the argument about the originating station?"

Page nodded, "Sergey, you know, AltaVista once said that even if Google gets bigger, we won't be able to retain users, and we won't be profitable at all, and it's impossible to succeed commercially." ”

"I know what you're going to say, I'm a technician, and of course I believe in me. But, God, you have to know that it's more than 50 percent of the search business! I was just confident in myself before that, I never ...... You know, I've never thought as clearly, accurately, and in a one-hit-and-death manner as Chen. ”

Brin looked at him a little excited, patted him and said, "Hey, man, I know that kind of pressure, we are going against all the pressure, but we all believe that Google will succeed in the end, Chen is right, we are a search service, we must adhere to this, insist on being the starting station, and send away all the people who come to Google as soon as possible, the faster we send away, the more people will remember us." ”

"As for the green bills, we have to think about them after we get our skills done, and besides, a little rich man just told us that he has a lot of dollars. ”

Page was amused by Brin's relaxed language style, and he smiled and said with a little helplessness: "Oh, man, don't mention the dollar, I think about us to keep financing." ”

"Okay, let's do it. Brin said this lightly.

Craig later said, "I'll do the technical stuff." ”

……

……

Chen Zier and Yang Runling left Palo Alto today and came to Santa Clara County, the center of Silicon Valley, the day before yesterday he proposed to the headhunter to find an American who understands management and technology, preferably white, he is not racist, but to find a yellow or black person is to work in vain, it is better to go on his own.

It only took one night for the headhunters to get the news, super fast, because this is Silicon Valley, a bloodthirsty place.

"A bloodthirsty place?" Yang Runling heard Chen Zier say this, and his eyes widened and he carefully looked at Santa Clara County under his feet.

The road is full of traffic, and there are many good cars, the streets are clean and orderly, the young people with bags on the sidewalk stride with all kinds of expressions, and in the coffee shop where they sit, men and women talk happily, and people laugh and lean back together.

It's a scene of vigorous prosperity.

She pouted, "If this is some bloodthirsty place, then most of the world is hell." ”

"You are in the law, and you should know that the laws in California are more protective of the interests of employees than in other states, but in Silicon Valley, the working hours of technicians here are even longer than in Japan, I don't know how many hours a week the law requires, 40 or 45?"

Yang Runling said: "40." ”

"Okay, 40, but you don't know it, it's not uncommon for programmers in Silicon Valley to work 80 hours a week. ”

Yang Runling was surprised: "It's so long, an average of more than ten hours a day?!"

"Yes, and it's not that the boss forces overtime, and the boss can't enforce it here, but that everyone from the CEO to the ordinary programmers are very nervous and stressed, and they have to work overtime. ”

Yang Runling probably knew, "I understand, because the competition here is too big." ”

Chen Zier nodded, "Every young person who comes here is thinking about replacing a large company, and the big company also knows very well that although they are big, any new technology may make them disappear in the dust of history." ”

The Internet is undergoing drastic changes, and under this force, there is no power at all in terms of market value, sales, and profits.

Chen Zier talked about today's events, "The person we are going to meet today is called Tony James, and the other is named Kleiman Webb, both of whom are dreamers who are working hard in Silicon Valley. ”

Yang Runling said: "Silicon Valley is not cheap, and if you don't have a job, life will collapse. ”

Chen Zier remembered a type of people unique to Silicon Valley, saying: "The high-intensity competitive environment in Silicon Valley has actually given birth to such a kind of person, who basically change jobs in a year or two, get stock options for their own companies and leave immediately, and then go to the second and third ......."

"After all, there are only a few people who can become Bill Gates or Yang Zhiyuan, and most of the self-aware ordinary people have thought of the method I said, they divide their lives into one year, two years, and use their own technology and life to buy Silicon Valley lottery tickets. ”

"Silicon Valley lottery?" Yang Runling thought this was a bit interesting.

"Yes, the Silicon Valley Lottery. There's a lot of computer engineers who may have stock options for many companies, and they're working in turns for 10, 20, 30 years, and everybody is thinking, "As long as that one becomes Microsoft Yahoo, I'll be rich." ”

Chen Zier sighed: "They are under too much pressure, because many times it is not a question of whether your personal ability is strong or not, but the entire department is laid off, and even the company is directly closed." There are no eggs under the nest, this is not a truth that only our people understand. ”

He glanced at the young people on the street who looked hurried, "Everyone here could be unemployed tomorrow." ”

It's okay now, because of the bubble, it's hard to recruit good computer engineers, and big companies can even buy some small companies and then lay off non-technical people so they can get some engineers. Google has been acquired in this way.

But after the bubble burst, it was really sad, he released the information from yesterday to today 24 hours before two people to apply, in 01 02, dozens of them are possible overnight.

Kleiman Weber, who now walks into Chen Zier's sight, is an unemployed person, and what is good is that he is wearing a suit and tie, and he looks like a person.
