Chapter 860: The Excitement of Google's Founder
Stepping out of the car under the heavy protection of eight bodyguards, Lin Cheng stood at the foot of a tall building, and the fifteenth floor upstairs was the headquarters of Google.
Looking up, there are all kinds of technology companies all around, just like coming to the SEG Building in Huaqiangbei, where every counter is selling electronic components, and the sense of science and technology is very strong.
Under the guidance of Smith, Lin Cheng followed into the elevator of the building, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, he saw Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two founders of Google.
At this time, the two were only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but they were much younger than the photos that Lin Cheng saw on the Internet in his later life, Larry Page was raunchy and slightly sloppy, no different from ordinary tech nerds, and Sergey Brin was quite handsome and a very attractive young man.
"Hello Mr. Smith, this gentleman is a little familiar, it seems to be ......" Larry Page glanced at Lin Cheng, feeling very familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was.
"Oh, sell melons, isn't this China's Mr. Lin, who is ranked third on this year's Forbes rich list? God! I'm not dreaming, am I?" exclaimed Sergey Brin.
Smith smiled and introduced: "Yes, you are not mistaken, the gentleman standing in front of you is China Lin, who ranks third on the Forbes list of the world's richest people. ”
"Hello! it's nice to meet you two, I'm Lin Cheng!" Lin Cheng said in fluent English.
"Oh my God!" Larry Page finally reacted, he shouted, quickly wiped his palms on his clothes, stretched out to Lin Cheng, and said in an incredible tone: "It's really unbelievable, I actually met Mr. Lin in China! Mr. Lin, my name is Larry Page, milk dead Apostle begging!"
"Milk Dead Apostle beg to vomit, Mr. Larry Page," Lin Cheng grinned as he gripped Larry Page's outstretched palm.
"Milk Dead Apostle Mi Please, Mr. Lin, my name is Sergey Brin, and I'm a fan of yours!" Sergey Brin's said excitedly.
"Milk Dead Apostle begs to vomit, Mr. Sergey Brin!" Lin Cheng smiled enthusiastically.
It can be seen that Larry Page and Sergey Brin are both fans of Lin Cheng, and the two of them admire Lin Cheng very much, and they are extremely excited about Lin Cheng's sudden appearance in their company.
But this is also normal, after all, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are both very young, compared to the gray-haired Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, there is no doubt that Lin Cheng, who can achieve great things at a young age, is more popular with these young people.
"Mr. Lin, let's go in and talk!" said Larry Page enthusiastically.
"Everyone, please first!" Lin Cheng said politely.
"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, please!" Sergei Brin quickly shook his head.
"Haha, then I'm welcome!" Lin Cheng laughed.
Now Lin Cheng's reputation is at the level of a giant, Larry Page and Sergey Brin see Lin Cheng, just like two small bosses who open Taobao stores see Ma Yun, of course, they have to be respectful!
Lin Cheng was no longer modest and polite, and entered Google with his head held high, and everyone dared to follow behind Lin Cheng.
……
Entering Google, the company is worthy of being a network company, the most eye-catching is a variety of computer equipment, the company's internal employees are all technical nerds, and they don't care about the arrival of Lin Cheng and others, and only focus on work.
"How many servers does your company have, and is the network speed enough?" Lin Cheng asked casually.
"With four servers, the speed is barely enough, but since the 10 million investment from Mr. Smith, our Google company has grown in a rapid way.
At present, companies in Silicon Valley, Stanford University, Berkeley and other universities are using our Google search engine, and the feedback has been very good, and we want to continue to expand to the surrounding areas to seize the market!" said Larry Page proudly.
Smith hurriedly smiled: "Actually, the person who really invested in Google is not me, but Mr. Lin Cheng." To tell you the truth, we just accepted the entrustment of Mr. Lin Cheng and invested his $10 million in Google. ”
"What?!" Larry Page and Sergey Brin exclaimed in unison, and their faces turned to joy.
Think about it, even the third richest man in the world has come to invest in Google, which shows how great Google's future is!
"Hmm. Lin Cheng nodded and said: "Actually, I have the idea of making a search engine in China, but our Internet technology in China is still relatively backward, and there are relatively few netizens, so I want to invest a sum of money in the United States, which has the most advanced technology and the largest number of netizens, and the talents with outstanding technology will help me realize my desire to be a search engine."
I entrusted $10 million to Smith's Capital Today, but I didn't expect that after going around and around, Smith chose the two of you as the investment target, and now it seems that Smith's choice is not wrong!"
"I see. Sergei Brin suddenly realized: "All in all, we still have to thank Mr. Smith for choosing us.
Of course, the most grateful is Mr. Lin Cheng, who invested the funds in us when our search engine has not yet released a finished product, so that our Google company has made an excellent product that can seize a large part of the market. ”
Sergey Brin is much better than Larry Page in terms of appearance and eloquence, and Lin Cheng and Smith are very happy when they say it.
……
"You've been delaying for so long, our patience is running out. I warn you, since you Google don't know how to raise it, we will invest this venture in ASk, and you Google will wait for bankruptcy and collapse!"
"That's right! Don't think that you Google is the only company doing searches in Silicon Valley, it's your honor to have a fancy to you Google, but you're so arrogant, so be it! Goodbye! No, never again!"
"Bang!"
A slamming door sounded, and two men in suits and leather shoes walked out of the lounge, just in time to meet Lin Cheng and his party.
As the manager of the venture fund, Mike and Morpheus obviously knew Smith, Mike saw Smith's face change suddenly, and then sneered: "I said how can Google not care about the investment of our Sequoia Capital, it turns out to be on the high branch of today's capital!"
"It turns out that you have been dragging your feet on two boats, and you want to use our Kleiner Perkins Caufield company as a monkey, and you will not accompany you!
The two snorted coldly, and immediately did not look back, and left quickly.
Smith was confused, I didn't do anything? Who is this provoking whom, why is it being ridiculed for no reason?
"I think I need an explanation. Smith said in a deep voice.
Sergei Brin hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Cheng and Mr. Smith, let you see the joke, just now those two are representatives of venture fund companies, they have seen the potential of Google and want to invest $25 million in Google."
However, this matter is obviously not something that Larry and I can decide, so today Larry called Mr. Smith to discuss it with Mr. Smith.
As a result, before Larry could tell the venture fund about the investment, Mr. Smith said that he would come to Google, so we decided to meet before telling Mr. Smith in person. ”
Larry Page was worried that Lin Cheng and Smith had misunderstood, so he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, things are exactly what Sergei said. ”
