Larry Page was born in 1973 in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, in a Jewish family, his father Carl Vinson Page is a computer professor at Michigan State University with a doctorate in computer science, and his mother Gloria Page is also a computer professor at Michigan State University.

In 1996, Page entered Stanford University, where he met Sergey Brin while pursuing his Ph.D. in computer science.

In 1996, Page and Brin began working together on a search engine called "BackRub", and by the first half of 1998, after gradually perfecting the technology, the two collaborated to run Google search and rank pages based on PageRank.

Although Paige has not yet reached the peak of his life, he is worth about $14 billion, and he is a frequent visitor to the Forbes rich list, and his influence in the American Internet circle is still very high.

Jiang Hui's appointment with Peppa was in a private room in the bargain shop, which could be regarded as taking this opportunity to let Lao Mei appreciate the deliciousness of the imperial capital roast duck.

"Jiang, it's really not easy to meet you," Paige said jokingly as soon as he met.

"Haha~ How come, I'm basically in the imperial capital, you are welcome to come to me at any time, I invite you to eat all kinds of Celestial Dynasty food."

American food culture is not exquisite, the pursuit of fast and convenient, nor luxurious, is more popular.

The foods that Americans come into contact with most in their daily lives, such as hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, sauce noodles, taco wraps, sandwiches, hot dogs, and French fries, are all imported from Western European countries in the early days.

There is no doubt that Americans all recognize European cuisine as the ancestor of American cuisine, and American cuisine uses European cuisine as its "root", and then through its own cultivation, sprouts and grows branches and leaves, and gradually grows and flourishes, establishing its own subject.

"Haha, I like the dishes of the Celestial Empire the most, especially the roast duck in the imperial capital, I will definitely find you for dinner when I come to the imperial capital in the future."

The roast duck was very fast, maybe it was to follow the local customs, Page and Jiang Hui chatted while eating, instead of eating and sleeping.

"Google is one of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley and has a very high market capitalization. I wonder what do you think about Google's future, Peppa?"

"Innovation is Google's future, not just maintaining existing utility. Many companies reduce their investment in R&D once they become profitable. Indeed, it is indeed very easy to do what you are familiar with. However, past experience has taught us that once you stop innovating, you are likely to be surpassed by others," says Page.

"Therefore, for the management of a new Internet company like Google, it is necessary not only to carry forward the existing products, but more importantly, to continuously invest in and encourage the company's product research and development, so that the company can open up more new directions," Page continued.

Judging from the development of Google in later generations, it is indeed constantly innovating and constantly opening up new directions. Whether it's "Google Glass" or AI technology, Google has its own uniqueness. On the contrary, Du Niang of the Celestial Empire is not as good as Google in this regard, and the gap between the two is getting wider and wider.

"In terms of innovation and opening up new directions, I have the same understanding as Page, we have a saying in the Celestial Empire that heroes see the same thing, come and have a toast."

Jiang Hui's words probably stumped Page's translation, "The hero sees the same thing", which the hell really doesn't know what English to say better, so he has to simply translate it into the great Ren's thoughts are all the same.

In fact, Jiang Hui's English level is not bad, especially reading and writing, and there is no problem with listening, but his spoken English is slightly worse.

Since the conversation with Page may involve cooperation between companies, Jiang Hui does not want to put himself at the bottom of the conversation because of language reasons, so he said it in Chinese throughout the whole process.

Jiang Hui said in Chinese, and although Tang Wenwen and Fang Dawen, who accompanied the guests together, spoke English very well, they had to follow and speak Chinese.

There's a translator anyway.

"Innovation is important, but innovation without commercialization is meaningless, and I don't know if you know, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center is a well-known company that focuses on big ideas and innovation, and it contributes a lot of innovation, but it ultimately fails because of poor commercialization. I don't think there's any point in innovating like this," says Page after a glass of red wine.

"Google and Korn Ferry are both industry leaders, but that also means that they have a bunch of competitors, and I don't know what you think of them."

"In the face of competition, I think the motivation of the company is very important, rather than focusing on the competitor, to make the same product to seek competition with him, to protect itself, it is better to research new and interesting things to make itself more viable".

Page's answer surprised Jiang Hui and made him feel that it was a matter of course.

Surprisingly, in the face of competition, ordinary companies think about how to completely get rid of competitors in this field, and it is natural that it is precisely because of this kind of pride in Google executives that they have the characteristics of being proud of the crowd and not relaxing in their own development path, that Google can develop to the scale of later generations.

"Google's original mission – to bring together global information and make it accessible and usable to everyone – was once seen as absurd and bold. Today, however, this mission still seems a bit narrow. So we're starting to pursue more directions now, and that's a big reason why I'm coming to you today," Paige continued.

When Jiang Hui heard this, he knew that tonight's drama was coming.

"Jiang, you must have guessed it, that's right, I still want to talk to you about Tudou. I've always thought that Tudou's genes are quite similar to Google's, and I hope we can have in-depth cooperation opportunities."

"Google is a great company, and Google and Apple are two of the most famous companies in the American tech world. I'm still interested in working with Google," Jiang said.

While Google and Apple are both some of the most well-known companies in the U.S. tech industry, Page and Steve Jobs have completely different approaches to innovation. Steve Jobs was a marketing guru who really loved the product and got the details of the user experience. And Paige is a serious technologist who really likes to dive into science and theory.

Of course, it's hard to say that the path was the right one, and both businesses proved to be successful. At least until Jiang Hui was reborn, they were all very successful.
