Chapter 765: Returning Home
For Google, which is already the world's IT giant and is actively involved in the global layout, a Chinese IT company is just one of its countless branches, and it is only one with considerable potential and limited influence.
So Larry Page's move to send Zhanxiong and his party to the airport seems somewhat unexpected, although Page founded Google and immediately hired Dr. Schmidt as the company's CEO, and only served as the product director, he is still the core figure of the Google group.
Compared with fellow founder Sergei Brin, Page is more thoughtful, but at the same time has a higher element of curiosity in his personality, which can be reflected in his two previous and second tenures as CEO of the group.
"Actually, there is no need for me to participate in this cooperation. Page was less than ten years older than Feng Yiming, wearing a T-shirt and standing next to Feng Yiming, who was dressed in a deliberately old-fashioned manner, the two looked about the same age, "I'm more curious about why you have been hiding behind the scenes and unwilling to take charge of the company's operations yourself, of course, I admit that Wei Jun's ability is indeed outstanding." ”
Page blinked and added, "Shirley told me that Chinese is about moderation...... I don't like to be in the limelight, which is in line with my impression of the Chinese I have come into contact with. ”
Hearing the strangely pronounced word "mean", Feng Yiming was stunned, thinking that Shirley seemed to be really interested in Chinese culture, and actually knew this word.
"Why did you hire Dr. Schmidt as CEO at that time?" Feng Yiming asked rhetorically.
"No, no, no, it's different. Page shook his head and said: "For me and Sergey, Google is growing faster than we imagined, hiring professional managers is just to help us share the work, Sergei and I still hold key positions at Google, and you are completely invisible, as long as it does not involve strategic direction issues, rarely come forward." ”
Feng Yiming was silent for a moment before he said: "The United States has Bill Gates in the past, you and Sergei in the back, and then Mark, whether it is the public or public opinion, their attitude towards you is not only praise, but also uses all kinds of propaganda methods to put you on the altar. ”
Page shrugged and nodded, "Rightfully so, the American dream." ”
"But there won't be Bill Gates in China, at least not now. Feng Yiming said in a low voice: "Whether it is the country, public opinion, or the people, it is difficult to accept that a young man in his early twenties has such a huge industry and wealth, do you know what the most likely consequences will be if I appear in public?"
Without waiting for Page to speak, Feng Yiming asked and replied to himself: "No one believes that a young person can have the ability to create such a foundation from scratch during high school and college, they prefer to believe that it is because my father is in a high position in the local area, and they are more willing to believe that I colluded with officials and shared ...... interests."
Even now, Feng Yiming has not yet appeared in public, and those who know the truth above believe that Zhanxiong Group has nothing to do with Feng Wei'an, and even many people are speculating that there may be a relationship of interest between Zhanxiong Group and Zhang Changhe and Wu Haifeng.
"There are a lot of factors behind the scenes, but that's the main reason. Feng Yiming's voice became lower and lower, "This is also the reason why I asked for the temporary suspension of the establishment of a board of directors." ”
Page kept shaking his head and sighing, he had a hard time accepting this statement, but knowing that the other party was not lying, "It's hard to imagine, it's the twenty-first century now...... You're ...... after that."
After all, it was not the era of seclusion a hundred years ago, China joined the TO a few years ago. Feng Yiming said with a smile: "Public opinion in Chinese mainland is also slowly changing, and the people's tolerance for personal wealth is also greatly improved. ”
"It's hard to say when you will officially take the helm of Zhanxiong Group, but at least it won't be hidden behind the scenes for a long time. Feng Yiming saw that Ye Zizi was already waving and preparing to board the plane, and finally said: "It is expected that the contract will be officially signed in mid to late November, will you participate?"
Page shook his head, "It's decided, Schmidt and Shirley will participate, I'm flying to Switzerland." ”
Feng Yiming nodded and stretched out his hand to say goodbye.
……
The group transferred to Xinzha in Yanjing, Feng Yiming was going to go home to have a look, and then go to Jianghe City the next day, and in the evening, everyone got a few tables of dishes in a restaurant in Xinzha.
"Next time I go to the United States on a business trip, I must bring my old godmother......" Zhang Yinian muttered after gobbling up for a while: "I have to bring ......"
"You have been yelling to lose weight and have not moved, and the effect of starvation in the past half a month is quite obvious. Dong Zhengyu on the side patted Zhang Yinian's stomach, "The Technology Research Institute will officially set up a branch in Silicon Valley next year, and you will have to ...... recruiting people at that time."
"Ahem. Wei Jun coughed a few times to interrupt everyone's chat, "Today is October 14th, exactly two weeks, and in the past two weeks, Lao Liang has been arguing with Nakajima Kangjian, about the cooperation and investment between Zhanxiong Group and Google, the temporary blockade cannot be known to SoftBank." ”
But now there are a lot of locals in the Zhanxiong Group, and it is difficult to completely block the news, after all, there are more than 20 people from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Dong Zhengyu frowned and said: "And I contacted Mr. Liang when I was in transit in Yanjing, and Nakajima Kangjian was very dissatisfied with Mr. Wei's avoidance, and he had a hot fight with Bird these days...... Xu Zhishan is not a local, but the Qin family of the former Hang Lung Group is the head of the land, and at this critical moment, they will definitely find out the news. ”
"It doesn't matter. Feng Yiming said casually, seeing that everyone didn't react, and added: "What do the Xu family and the Qin family want?"
"Of course, I want SoftBank's investment ......" Dong Zhengyu immediately reacted, patted his head and smiled: "After the Qin family inquired about the news, maybe they would help us hide it." ”
Feng Yiming nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and got up and said: "What does the cooperation with Google mean, I think this should not need me to chatter, although the early contact is smooth, but whether the investment can be implemented, and whether the later technical and management exchanges can be implemented, all of you need the efforts of everyone here." ”
"Six years ago, I said in the Yangcheng Tianyun Technology conference room that I never doubted that this game would be successful, but whether it could soar to the sky depends on your efforts. Feng Yiming raised the teacup, "At this moment, just like that moment, after breaking through the limitations of technology and capital, whether Zhanxiong Group can soar to the sky depends on your efforts. ”
