Chapter 215: Google Goes Live (Part 2)
"Maybe I want to live a retired life like an old grandfather now!" Jiang Yizhou has always had a pessimistic attitude towards the world, and his mentality is sometimes childish and unbearable, and sometimes it is also withered and makes people sigh.
"But don't worry, I'm still keen to do it, investors, even if I return to China, I will actively contact you and pay attention to the situation in Silicon Valley!"
Bill Green looked at the boss who was only nineteen years old but already had a boss who wanted to retire and do something he liked, maybe he should be happy!
After his boss left Silicon Valley, he not only had a high enough share, but also considerable autonomy, even if it was constrained by Jiang Yizhou's personnel and financial team.
He also felt sorry for Jiang Yizhou, because the Internet trend in Silicon Valley has just risen, because of the Southeast Asian financial crisis and other reasons, more and more capital has poured into Silicon Valley, and one after another start-ups have obtained venture capital to go public.
And Arumes Venture Capital, even if it has only invested in a few companies, has not yet achieved obvious returns, but there are already people who have come to the door because of Jiang Yizhou's success and want to invest in Arumes's fund, in this year, qim, Foxmail, and bloggers, each of which is a product that can be sought after, and they believe in Jiang Yizhou's vision.
The increasingly frenzied market atmosphere worries Bill Green and feels sorry for Jiang Yizhou.
"Okay," Bill Green also had nothing to say, he had already persuaded Jiang Yizhou many times when he showed this idea two months ago, but it never worked, "Tony, what about the fund I proposed, what about your decision?"
"It's acceptable, the scale is not too big, just follow the investment strategy of your own funds!" Jiang Yizhou also readily agreed, and scattered the purchase of Yahoo, Amazon, and some stocks that he knew of were crazy and soaring, and the return rate of the fund could not reach 300%, which was a loss of memory in his mind.
The two discussed for a long time about the system of the investment company and the foundation, Jiang Yizhou said goodbye to Bill Green, and drove to the headquarters of Google, which has now been online for a week.
For this giant of future Internet companies, Jiang Yizhou is reluctant to leave Google's board of directors even if he wants to leave the United States.
Pushing open the door, a group of employees were busy working, and when they saw the arrival of Tony Jiang, the co-founder, they all signaled.
He only came on the day the Google search engine went live, and for the next six days, Jiang Yizhou was busy finishing his final work in the United States, and only now did he have time to take a look at Google's achievements.
"Tony, you're finally here, I thought you forgot about us?" Sergey shouted excitedly when he saw their investor and co-founder arrive.
"I have faith in Google, so I don't have to be in front of my computer every day to see how much my daily search volume has increased!
That's naturally impossible, just look at the smiles in the room.
"You said million daily searches, and that was reached on the third day of launch, and now we are aiming for three million daily searches!" Sergey proudly explains.
In today's Internet, portals are king, and many enterprises, whether it is search engines, email services, or dating sites, are trying to transform into portals and want to make a profit, which is the best way to make a profit at present.
In contrast, the search engine market is considered a red ocean, saturated, and it is enough for netizens to use a series of traditional search engines such as Infoseek.
What's more, the search engine's monetization method, PPC, and display ad network have not yet appeared, well, Elomes Technology has been continuously developing related technologies, and patent applications have begun to go through the process.
Larry, Sergey, and Google's employees are confident in making a profit, and the source of confidence lies in the solutions provided by Jiang Yizhou, which is why he was accepted as a co-founder so smoothly.
There is no doubt that Jiang Yizhou, as a person who supported Google from the beginning and provided Google with a profit plan, has achieved the position he wants.
And he also has some restrictions on Google, because those patents are held by Elomax Technology, and then given to Google in the form of licensing, and Elomes is also fully responsible for the construction of the Display Advertising Network, which is supported by Google.
Pure equity investment cannot firmly establish a position on Google's board of directors in the future, Jiang Yizhou looks at this issue quite pessimistically, because Google's potential is too great, even if it can't be seen now, but sooner or later it will face competition.
And because of Jiang Yizhou's support, the advertising and promotion activities launched by Google this time are much stronger, so he is not surprised at all to achieve this goal.
And as word of mouth spreads, it becomes clear that "not all search engines are called Google", and then exponential growth, which is inevitable.
"Pretty good!" Jiang Yizhou replied flatly.
Larry asked, somewhat surprised, "Aren't you excited?"
"It's all pretty much what I imagined, so why be surprised, I've invested millions of dollars and licensing patents, so I have a clear understanding of it, and now it's in line with my expectations, and I'm very satisfied. ”
I'll just pretend to be forced quietly, Jiang Yizhou's mood is like this.
Larry and Sergey recalled that Jiang Yizhou had stronger confidence and devotion to search engines than they did, and both agreed with Jiang Yizhou's statement.
"Keep working hard, I will get Google a contract for Yahoo and AOL search services, this is a big challenge, but also a big opportunity!" Jiang Yizhou said his next step.
Historically, Google also stepped on Yahoo to the top, in 00, Yahoo chose Google as the search service provider, and allowed the Yahoo logo to appear on the left side of the search box, until 03, Yahoo regretted its previous decision and chose to abandon Google.
It wasn't until the end of the negotiations with Larry Sergei that Jiang Yizhou explained that he was about to return to China.
"You're not going to appoint that obnoxious guy from Bill Green as a representative, are you?" Sergey had a bad impression of him.
Bill Green is a serious investor, he will help entrepreneurs correct their mistakes, learn management, but the medicine is bitter, for freelance entrepreneurs, they are quite disgusted by this kind of investors who are actually good for them.
