Chapter 396: I Don't Believe It
Silicon Valley has a Mediterranean climate, and even though November is already winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it's always warm and humid, and down jackets are something you would never need.
Chen Zier gradually liked the warmth here, and the employees in the company changed from curiosity about the boss to resentment towards the boss, because he was really strict.
He doesn't understand technology, which many people know, but he is very stubborn, and must require the design of the product to follow his ideas, of course, some people will say that he is rough management, but Chen Zier has listened to the advice of the technical consultant and probably knows what the difficulty of his requirements is, if someone is unwilling, then fire.
If you don't want to do it, you will pull it down, and in a few months Silicon Valley will be wailing, and the whole land will be full of unemployed, what kind of person he can't find?
Both Page and Sergey had heard that Mr. Chen had come to Santa Clara, and as angel investors who had given them initial development funds and were like-minded friends, they wanted to invite Mr. Chen to visit Google.
Google's user base is growing rapidly, and they're leading the way in search engine technology, while Yahoo is still the same, they're pushing their own portal, and their internal search business is even subcontracted to another company.
This is the way to die, but now it is the gateway to the world, and traffic is king.
Page and Sergey don't seem to have changed much in appearance, only a little bit of a boss came out, and in 1999 Google accepted two investments, and they moved out of the garage from Palo Alto to Mountain View.
Theoretically calculating wealth, Chen Zier also owns more than six percent of the equity in Google, which he usually doesn't think much about.
Chen Zier now understands what the rich say, and what it is like to not know how rich he is.
Google's corporate headquarters in Mountain View is still a small company with 40 employees, and despite the huge amount of money, they are not profitable, or so to speak...... They haven't found a way to make a profit yet.
Both were busy, but they still managed to find time to meet with Chen Zier and have a warm family gathering in the evening.
Chen Zier and the two had a simple American greeting etiquette, and the place where they met was Page's office.
Page is a little introverted, Sergei is very open, Google is growing very fast now, although it is still far from going public, but the year is also very good, he said to Chen Zier: "Chen, I promised you at the time, Google will never disappoint you, it is excellent and screaming." ”
Chen Zier smiled and said: "Looking back in a year, I am glad that you still adhere to the concept of technology first, and because of this, I am not optimistic about Yahoo." ”
Page asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Silicon Valley?"
The reason is actually very simple, Chen Zier said: "I am a little interested in that small product. ”
Page knew Yang Runling, and Sergei also knew her, so they knew what Chen Zier was referring to.
"Actually, I've always wondered why you've been working on it for so long, why haven't you released a product, but the rio300 has already taken the lead," Page said. ”
Sergey also said: "At least let the market test it." ”
Chen Zier shrugged his shoulders and was helpless, "What they did was too bad, the processing interface was complicated, there were so many buttons on the surface of the product that it was maddening, and that ugly little playlist...... Launching a product like that is simply an insult to the buyer. ”
Page and Sergei looked at each other, and they wanted to say: Isn't that what the RIO300 of the Imperial League looks like......
"I wanted absolutely simple products with a great design aesthetic, and if I couldn't make them, I would desperately squeeze them, so I came here myself. ”
Paige put his hand to his chin and said, "I don't know why I smell some Steve." ”
"The first outstanding Chinese I came into contact with was Jerry Young, and the second was you, and earlier this year Page flew to China Shipping, and I wondered why you had to have a stock in China.com, and it turned out that you made a lot of money. Sergei's tone was not lacking in envy, because it was really a lot of money.
The seemingly ordinary young man sitting in front of them is a real rich man, and he doesn't know where the money is now.
When it comes to this, Chen Zier wants to say that in addition to the products on Fadel's side, this is also a matter of great concern to him.
"Paige, Sergey...... I know you've met some very powerful investors, and if anyone is interested in this asset, they can introduce them to me. ”
Lee Jong-hong's hand touches bankers a little more, but he doesn't necessarily really understand the tech world. Just like when Internet stocks were at their hottest, the fund managers of Goldman Sachs couldn't understand what the portal-site entrance was that entrepreneurs were talking about.
Don't think it's, that's the truth, there is as much love as there is pain, and how bad the bubble bursts later, how crazy it is at this moment.
So when they heard Chen Zier say this, they were also surprised, "Oh my God, you mean to sell? Brother, do you know how the stock price of that company has gone up like crazy?"
Chen Zier smiled slightly, "This is a strategy that was discussed and decided within the company. ”
What is the strategy decided internally, Page is not unaware that there are only a few people in Shengshi Investment, and they are all Chen Zier's first sight.
He asked seriously: "If you want to be sure if you are joking, I can tell you, Chen, if I say it, you must be ready to receive guests at two o'clock in the middle of the night." ”
Such an exaggeration......
Chen Zier looked a little incredulous.
Sergei felt that his 'unbelievable' was very strange, "Page is right, China.com is now the largest comprehensive Internet service company in Asia, and there are still very few of your netizens, that's a... Oh buy ga, what is the population, the potential is unimaginable!"
Really?
In this case, Li Zhonghong should have already had news, although the capital community does not know about China.com as the technology community, but no one can catch up with the speed of their response to the stock price.
As soon as he had an idea, his newly bought cell phone rang in California.
How many here can call him?
Lee Jong-hong.
Chen Zier held his mobile phone and said, "Guys, in fact, I have already asked my subordinates to go to Wall Street to do this. ”
Sergei covered his face with his big hands, "That decision was an impulsive decision. ”
He exaggeratedly said: "Brother, I have grown so big, I have never heard of a stock whose stock price is rising rapidly and someone is willing to sell it, the important thing is ...... Tonight's party is in ruins. ”
Paige said, "Trust me, you won't have patches of sleep anymore." ”
……
……
Domestic, China Shipping.
A high-end café not far from Dijing Blue Bay has two more beautiful women.
Sheng Qianyu was afraid because Shi Yangqing was very capable, and Shi Yangqing was afraid because Chen Zier cared about this girl very much, and because her morality was actually condemning herself.
In the end, Mr. Shi, who had more social experience, spoke, she stared at the smoking liquid in the white cup and said, "You probably... I know, but I can assure you that I haven't done anything excessive. ”
Kissing is excessive...... She lied. forcibly kissed someone else's boyfriend, she couldn't talk about it, and Chen Zier himself ignored it, so why bother to say it, it's better to bury it forever.
Sheng Qianyu hesitated for a moment, suddenly held back his courage, bit his lip and whispered, "I don't believe it." ”
