Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin are more inclined to find a job they like than to start their own business, and Sergey Brin once hid a line of code in his web-based resume: a big office, a good salary, a light workload, and even better if he could be sent on a foreign business trip from time to time.

In short, he has more money and less work and often goes abroad, and this is what he expects from his work.

As for starting his own business, neither he nor Larry Page have seriously considered it until now.

BackRub was created only because of Viggs's exclusion and the desire to make a fortune with this search engine, so that Larry Page could make up enough for his own tuition, and Sergey Brin could have a sum of money to travel the world.

So when Zhang Chen energetically described the beautiful vision to the two, the first thought of the two was, okay, okay, in this case, we will follow you, anyway, you are richer than us, and you can pay us a salary.

Take an investment of one million? It's not that you want to invest in the company, the two of them bought a ******** and they were all scrutinized by Su Zhuoyuan, even if they got this million, how much could they leave for themselves?

Moreover, Zhang Chen ignores his current legend, even if the outside world does not know much about his Salomon Brothers company, but the sale of ICQ to AOL for 700 million US dollars is well known throughout Silicon Valley.

Eighteen-year-old boy, two ventures have been successful, and each time the income is higher than the first, the first grid website made him earn the first pot of gold, and the second ICQ directly sent him into the ranks of the billionaire club, this tm is not a legend what?

In the eyes of the current Larry Page and Sergei Brin, Zhang Chen is a big thick leg, and even the leg hair is golden.

But in this way, it is really hard to say whether the two can still create the trust-like Google empire in their previous life.

Don't look at the fact that Zhang Chen can get PageRank smoothly now, the rise of Google, PageRank is only one of the necessary conditions, not sufficient conditions. Needless to say, Google's dazzling business in later generations, Google Maps, Google Earth, Chrome browser, etc., etc., even if it is just a search, it is not something that a pagerank can support.

Search engines need frequent SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and every time SEO adjusts the algorithm in it, pagerank, as the first generation of technology, will not be long before it will be replaced by a more innovative new algorithm.

And it is precisely because Larry Page and Sergey Brin were forced to have no choice but to constantly update the search engine that Google has an absolute advantage in the search field and has become the overlord of the search business.

As for Schmidt, one of the Big Three, he joined Google after it began to make a profit and obtained $25 million from Sequoia and KPCB, and re-made business planning and structural adjustments for Google, making Google a hegemonic company in the entire Internet industry.

Zhang Chen never thought that he was a reborn person, he was omnipotent, he engaged in online art in China, and he also saw the gap in the domestic market, and his strength could crush all competitors before he decided to do it himself.

In the case of Google, the experience of his previous life is not so important, and for well-known reasons, he has not used Google since 2010.

And he now knows that there are dozens of companies that provide search engine services in the United States, large and small, and that Robin Li's ESP is even just one of Infoseek's technical reserves.

Zhang Chen was a little drumming in his heart.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I pretended to be forced, the spirit of the king burst out, and the two of them took the initiative to take refuge, hoping to take the lead by themselves, this is good or bad Zhang Chen was really a little uncertain for a while.

The actual founder of Google, the largest shareholder, and the actual controller of the future, this kind of opportunity is not common, as long as Google can successfully become the giant trust in the previous life, he is one of the people who stand at the top of the world!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly shivered.

No, no, it's impossible to see an inch.

Why do you want to do venture capital? It is because venture capital is the only industry that can take advantage of all the benefits of the Internet, and it is also the industry that can give full play to its advantages in rebirth.

Of course, time and energy are the most valuable things, and what limits how much money you earn and how many achievements you have is no longer a matter of funds, but how much time and energy you have.

After investing in Google, can you still have the time and energy?

Google is different from NetArts, for a certain period of time, NetCraft is invincible in China, and there is Ding Lei, under the condition that he is fully authorized, there is not much difference from the energy spent on doing a venture capital.

And Google, poor and white, nothing, if you come to operate, these two dead houses must not care about anything, rest assured and bold to do their own technology nerd, when the time comes, whether Google can still succeed in putting it aside, even if it can be more awesome than what it did in the previous life, so what?

Moreover, if you really become the actual controller of Google, you are bound to stand in front of the stage and attract a lot of attention, and your every move will be put in the spotlight to be observed, guessed, and studied.

The degree of attention that a venture capitalist receives cannot be compared with that of the founder of an Internet giant with a market value of hundreds of billions, even if the investor's wealth is several times that of the founder, it cannot be compared with the founder in terms of public attention.

In a sense, investors are like producers, and founders are like directors and stars.

The last point is that if you roll up your sleeves and go out, you will lose the transcendent status of an investor, and Warren Buffett is also a major shareholder of many companies, but when did you see him become the CEO of a company that was acquired by himself?

Unless the company is facing the survival of the company, the investor will never end up in person.

There are many reasons for this, one of which is that venture capital is often one-to-many to the investee, and may even invest in the entire track, if you personally stand for a company, it will make other investors turn against you, and it will be difficult for VC to be trusted in subsequent financing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen regained his composure, his brain turned sharply, and he said with righteousness: "You have disappointed me too much! What did I just say? Pay attention to technology! Pursue innovation! Geek spirit! If just because I am richer than you, you want me to actually operate, this is simply a blasphemy of the geek spirit!"

Larry Page and Sergei Brin looked ashamed, deeply ashamed of the idea that they had just gotten by. Listening to Zhang Chen's words, "Of course, I will definitely provide you with the greatest help within my ability, so let's do it, I will pay 1 million US dollars, accounting for 20% of the shares, plus the previous 10%, a total of 30% of the shares, and I ask for the same shares and the same rights, I can accept joint dilution, not separate dilution, and have the priority of future capital increase, do you have any opinions?"

Larry Page and Sergei Brin were dumbfounded, "No, no comment. ”

It's just bullying children!

I changed my writing style to see how I reacted to these two chapters.
