Mountain View is not large, covering just over 300,000 square kilometers, and in addition to the wide streets and the flow of people coming and going, the most impressive thing is the ubiquitous greenery, which hides most of the buildings that are not very tall.

All kinds of nameplates are hung in inconspicuous places, and if tourists are not careful enough, they can't find the place they want to go with the latest version of the map.

At the end of the road in the deepest shade of the trees, the lawn is full of strange and playful statues, and the occasional passer-by on bicycles stops to watch.

Behind the lawn is a row of buildings only four or five stories high, during which a corridor with tempered glass connects all the buildings into a single unit.

In the middle of the building, there is a sign that reads, "Google"

"Hey, my counterparts from the East have come over...... Uh, Larry, I think Chinese should like tea. Schmidt said, "They won't like coffee." ”

"But I've drunk tea in Japan, it's very troublesome, and there are fixed steps and rituals. Larry Page fiddled with the coffee machine, shrugged and said, "There are a lot of Asians at Google's headquarters, but you can't let them come." ”

Sergey Brin, the other founder on the side, pouted, "Why the Blue Mountains? I love Colombian coffee beans." ”

"That's because Blue Mountain Coffee is well-known in China. Page smiled: "You must know that the person I met today is not an ordinary person, and it is really hard to imagine that China can come out of a character similar to Mark Zuckerberg." ”

"Hi, you're wrong. Schmidt took a sip of his coffee cup, "When Zhongbo was listed on the NASDAQ, Facebook had not yet been officially opened, and in the thinking of Oriental people, Mark should be regarded as his...... Junior?"

Brin winked at Page, "I've read all the relevant information, we were in the student dormitory at Stanford back then, but he was still a high school student at the time, it's unbelievable." ”

"The key to the unbelievability is his attempt to build a technology-based tech enterprise in China. Schmidt added: "We've had more than a dozen discussions over a period of more than four months, and I don't think there should be any disagreements between us." ”

Brin leaned back in his chair and spread his hands: "I still stick to the previous point of view, the first thing Google wants to promote to enter the Chinese market is an open and transparent search engine, but in fact, the Chinese branch has been subject to a lot of official constraints, so I am in favor of finding a breakthrough from the e-commerce industry." ”

"I reserve my opinion. Paige shrugged, "But it's a good deal in terms of impact, global strategy, and ROI." ”

"The key to whether it is a good deal lies in the level, execution and centripetal force of the executive team, which is also the focus of our next observation. Schmidt got up and walked to the door, "Here they are." ”

……

"I'm still thinking that whether or not the cooperation agreement goes well, I'm going to visit Stanford University. Feng Yiming held Page's hand with an impeccable smile on his face.

"Ha, then Brin and I can be tour guides. Page smiled and winked his eyes, "Although Brin didn't finish it, he was more familiar with that campus than I did." ”

Feng Yiming looked back and smiled: "I know, but I also know that he is exempt from a master's degree and directly studies for a doctorate." ”

Brin smiled and didn't speak, this Jew's position in Google is much more important than outsiders think, not only has a strong talent in technology but also has a set of management, especially the attention to detail is extremely sensitive, and now the Zhanxiong Group has begun to pilot the idea of "free lunch" in some of its subsidiaries is to steal from Brin.

"Well, I'm still going to Stanford University to look for the dormitory back then, I don't know if it's still there?" Feng Yiming took a sip of coffee, "Good coffee." ”

"Hey, it's been eight years, it's long gone. Brin sat down and picked up his coffee cup, "It's Blue Mountain coffee, okay?"

Feng Yiming nodded with a smile, "Of course, it's cheap and can be bought anywhere, and it would be better if you could add some sugar." ”

Page on the side couldn't help laughing, the pure Blue Mountain coffee tastes rich and mellow, and because the sweet, sour, and bitter flavors of the coffee are perfectly matched, it has no bitter taste at all, and there is no need to add sugar at all.

"Ahem, we have already learned about the general information of Zhanxiong Group, and we will verify the relevant information you brought here this time. Schmidt held a document in his hand, "We were surprised that there was such an ambitious technology company in distant China, and I had a long discussion with Larry and Sergei about the contents of those two emails, but of course that's not the focus of today." ”

Although this room is nominally a conference room, it is not in fact a regular atmosphere, with scattered sofas, chairs, and sunlight shining through large glass windows.

Schmidt glanced at Ren Hongyuan beside him, this person had worked in science and technology companies in Europe and the United States for a long time before entering the Zhanxiong Group, and they all worked in the R&D department, it was probably he who knew the news and revealed it to Feng Yiming.

And Ren Hongyuan took a sip of coffee, lowered his head and was thinking about his thoughts, he has been in the Zhanxiong Group for so long, and he has a certain personal relationship with Feng Wei'an, he originally thought that he could see more clearly, but he didn't expect that the longer the time, the thicker the fog around Feng Yiming became.

Last night, Ren Hongyuan made a few phone calls and went out, looking for some colleagues working in Silicon Valley, but he didn't find out any news, Ren Hongyuan couldn't figure it out, about Google's acquisition of AndyRubin to develop a new mobile phone operating system, this should be extremely secret news, where did Feng Yiming know......

"What surprised me the most about Zhanxiong was that you tried to establish your own logistics system at the beginning of your entry into the e-commerce industry, although Chinese labor is relatively cheap, but it is also extremely difficult and risky. Schmidt stared at Feng Yiming and said slowly: "According to our information, it is the existence of the logistics system that makes Zhanxiong Group's financing plan this year much more difficult. ”

However, international investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and SoftBank still regard Zhanxiong as a key investment target. Feng Yiming put down the coffee cup, "From the perspective of e-commerce itself, it is almost inevitable to establish its own logistics system, and China is now on the track of rapid economic development, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with each passing day, and it is indeed a great risk to establish free logistics in the early stage, but it also has a considerable rate of return, which is undeniable." ”

Schmidt nodded slowly, indeed, today's Chinese mainland market is a place where almost all European and American multinational companies want to intervene, and the further back in time to establish their own logistics system, the higher the cost of funds, from this point of view, can save a considerable amount of money.

"If it was just for financing, I wouldn't have sent those two emails a few months ago. Feng Yiming said softly: "I hope to establish a close communication channel with Google, have frequent technical and management exchanges, and even hope to play a vital role in the promotion of the operating system in Chinese mainland......"
