"I'm sorry, John, I'm so tired today, I haven't rested for more than 20 hours, I'm not in a good state, I can't talk to you more, but I can guarantee that when Google opens the A round of financing, I will definitely notify you, what do you think?" Zhang Chen really felt too tired, and said to John Doerr with a strong spirit.

John Doll groaned for a moment, he didn't understand how Zhang Chen wanted to run Google, if he didn't transform the portal and realize traffic monetization, it would be impossible to make any profit from search alone. Companies without a profit model are destined to not go further, and he doesn't believe that Zhang Chen doesn't understand this truth.

Does Zhang Chen want to charge for the search business?

No way, John Doerr immediately dismissed the idea. Or has Zhang Chen explored a new profit model for the search business?

John Doerr's eyes flickered when he thought of this, "Okay, Zack, then that's all for today, Sergey, Larry, you are all geniuses, you must think about what I just said, if you go down this path, it will be another Yahoo!"

Zhang Chen yawned, "Okay, okay, Google won't be Yahoo, Google will only be Google, now it's dark, you drive carefully on the road, slow down and don't send it." ”

After returning to KPCB, John Doerr's face sank and told Melvin to keep an eye on Google and report to him if anything happened.

"ICQ, Amazon, ebay, and now google, even if the concept of the Internet is hot now, his luck is too good, but now it seems that his good luck is coming to an end, and he actually rejected our proposal, and I won't be long before he takes the initiative to come to the door." ”

John Doerr glanced at Melvin: "He worked twenty hours a night to help entrepreneurs solve problems, and you only saw that the other party was lucky, which is why you have been working for so many years, and you are only an analyst with an annual salary of 80,000 dollars." ”

If Zhang Chen heard it, he would have laughed, he didn't sleep because of jet lag, but when he came to John Doerr, it became a proof of his hard work and success to educate employees.

If a person is successful, the superstitious liar master can be said to be curious, which is the characteristic of a successful person; he thinks that Taijiquan has a practical combat function, and he can also be said to respect traditional culture; after the leakage of the xx CD, he can simply sell it publicly, and he can also be said to be hyping up the family's popularity and having a business mind.

Larry Page and Sergei Brin looked a little worried, after all, although there were still some $1 million left in the early stage, it would be almost time to spend it in two or three months, and if they didn't make a profit or find financing, they wouldn't even be able to pay their basic living guarantees.

"Zack, now that the cash flow is running out, I can only hold on for another forty days or so. Larry Page has a serious face, and he now has a sense of being an entrepreneur and knows what it means for the fledgling company to run out of cash.

If the cash flow is really broken, bankruptcy and liquidation, it is better to cash out now.

Zhang Chen stretched his eyelids: "Don't worry, I already have a general idea of Google's profit model, I'll go back and sleep first, and we'll talk again tomorrow." ”

Larry Page was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything more.

Although Zhang Chen has not been here a few times, he has been communicating with them on the phone in the past few months, and has also participated in several online meetings with Google, giving them a lot of guiding suggestions and solving a lot of problems for them. It can be said that without Zhang Chen, Google's development would not be so fast.

Zhang Chen patted Larry Page on the shoulder: "Okay, the sun rises, it's a new day." ”

"Irene, Alexus is a start-up company, but now it has a turnover of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is a new industry. Heung Kong is about to set up a GEM, and believe me, Alexus will definitely become the first batch of companies to be listed on the ChiNext Board. Zou Kaixuan cut a piece of steak in a soft, slow tone, but with strong confidence.

"Yes, Irene, don't worry, Solina has the support of Superman Li behind her, and she will earn anything. Zhang Peiwei picked up the red wine and sipped lightly.

Su Zhuorui smiled: "Of course I believe in Solina, but I am still studying for a PhD in Berkeley, and I still have a year and a half to finish it, so it would be a pity to give up now." ”

Zou Kaixuan smiled lightly: "You can apply for an extension, and you are studying sociology, and practice is also a very important part, so it should be regarded as a gap year." With your ability, I believe that you will be able to do a good job after Alexus Chief Operating Officer (COO) xus acquires your Super Info Technology, in addition to half a million dollars in cash, you can also get 7% of Alexus's shares, believe me, as long as Alexus goes public, you can also become a billionaire. ”

Su Zhuoyuan's face showed hesitation, and Zou Kaixuan was careful: "If you still have any concerns, we can also communicate?"

Zhang Peiwei smiled and said, "Are you reluctant to have a boyfriend in the United States?"

Su Zhuorui shook her head: "How can I have a boyfriend, it's just that I'm still working part-time in an investment company, if I don't do it all of a sudden, if there is no suitable successor, I'm afraid that there will be problems with the company's operation." ”

Zou Kaixuan's heart moved: "Is it Zack's company?"

Su Zhuorui was silent for a moment, nodded, Zhang Peiwei and Zou Kaixuan glanced at each other, and said tentatively: "Your relationship with Zack... ”

Su Zhuorui cut off: "You misunderstood, we have nothing to do with each other, his girlfriend is my best friend." As for him ... Su Zhuorui hesitated, "It can also be regarded as a friend." ”

Zhang Peiwei said with a smile: "I saw you and him at the airport who seem to be very familiar, like a little couple having an awkward relationship, is there any conflict recently?"

The corners of Su Zhuoyuan's mouth twitched: "I won't find this kind of flowery radish as a boyfriend." ”

Zhang Peiwei was curious: "Tell me, why did he spend his heart?"

Su Zhuoyuan forced a smile and said: "Sister Debbie, let's not talk about him, in this way, you let me think about it, three days, when you leave in three days, I will definitely give you an accurate answer." ”

Zou Kaixuan said with a smile: "Okay, this is also a big deal, and it's right to think about it clearly." ”

Su Zhuorui nodded: "Solina, you are so feminine, and you don't look like the kind of strong woman who advocates women's rights." Besides, you're supposed to be rich now, aren't you? Why are you still working so hard?"

Zou Kaixuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Irene, do you think that I have a close relationship with Mr. Li, so you think I shouldn't show my head outside like this?"

Su Zhuohui was taken aback, she was indeed quite curious about the relationship between Zou Kaixuan and Li Jiacheng, but she didn't expect the other party to admit it generously, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, I don't mean that, I mean, you have such a successful career, but you don't abandon your gender attributes like other strong women, it's really amazing." ”

Zou Kaixuan smiled: "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think, I'm first and foremost a woman, and I also like my gender." I do think that women and men are different, but there is no superiority in this difference, only in style. And I don't think the difference is greater than that of two people of the same gender. ”

"Although I have a good relationship with Mr. Li and Mr. Tong, I am not an appendage of anyone and have my own independent personality. But only when there is economic independence can there be personality independence. Moreover, Mr. Li likes me, and he also likes that I have my own personality. If I had become an appendage of someone else and had lost my personality, I would not have been me. ”

"As for you saying that I work hard, I don't feel like fighting, because I like my life now, I like this self who is a little better than the day before every day, and I also like to see some new changes in the world every day. ”

Zou Kaixuan looked at Su Zhuorui and smiled: "I hope you can join Alexus for this reason, you not only created the business model of SMS SP service, but also made Super News achieve a profit of 200,000 US dollars in less than a year, which shows that you also enjoy this process, I like to do things with like-minded people." ”

Su Zhuorui was thoughtful.
