"I'm sorry, can you tell me what kind of company Google is?" Bill Campbell asked, a little confused.

Inviting him to work as a mentor for a start-up that doesn't seem to be well known was a bit abrupt, especially since the two had only known each other before, but it was the first time they had met in person.

At present, the agreement reached between Google and Sequoia Capital, as well as KPCB, has not yet been announced, but once it is announced, it is destined to make Google resounding in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, because of the competition for venture capital twin stars and the participation of Tony Jiang.

Jiang Yizhou's movements are naturally worth noting, otherwise why would Moretz, who was originally quite conservative, be one step ahead of John Doerr this time, although he had to make concessions, but he also led the financing, which is naturally Jiang Yizhou's participation and the development timetable he set for Google.

"Oh, I almost forgot, didn't Mr. Moritz tell you about this?" Jiang Yizhou introduced him with some pride, "Yesterday, Sequoia Capital and KPCB raised $15 million to get a 10% stake in Google, and the news should be seen in the news in the past two days!" ”

Bill Campbell looked a little disbelieving, but Moretz and John Doerr were on the scene, and if this kid lied, he would definitely be able to expose him on the spot, and there was no need to lie at all.

Sensing the gaze, John Doerr walked over with a smile, "So the two of you are sitting here and chatting happily?" ”

"John, I heard Tony say that you and Moritz voted for a company called Google, right?" Campbell just asked.

John Doerr smiled a little wryly when he heard this, "There is indeed such a thing, but I almost missed this investment, when I just found out, and then I didn't even eat breakfast, I didn't prepare anything, and when I felt Google, I found that Moretz was talking to the two founders of Google about financing, and it was almost to the point of signing an agreement!" ”

He looked at Jiang Yizhou as he spoke, raised his glass and thanked Jiang Yizhou, to a certain extent, Jiang Yizhou's delay not only made the financing amount higher, but also gave John Doerr a chance to take a ride, compared to this, some more investment is nothing.

"I was like, thank goodness, it really caught up, and I was a little happy to see Moretz's iron-clad face!" John Doerr's words reveal the praise of Google.

In Silicon Valley, Sequoia and KPCB are on par, and they are known as venture capital twin stars, and their fame, capital, and connections are not afraid of each other, so as soon as he arrived, Moretz's plan to monopolize this financing line was completely frustrated.

"Mr. Doerr, what do you think of the fact that I just asked Mr. Campbell to be Google's mentor? Google is now facing rapid expansion, and you know that Larry and Sergey are not able to handle this very well! Jiang Yizhou turned to John Doerr and prompted.

Because it was John Doerr who invited Bill Campbell to "mentor and train" Google in history, and made a lot of contributions to Google, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of them was very good, and now Jiang Yizhou realized that his behavior just now was a little abrupt.

No matter who you are, when you meet for the first time, you must first establish a good first impression, rather than immediately showing your purpose, so even if it is a good thing, it is easy to give people the impression that he is in a relationship with himself for XX purposes.

"That's true." John Doerr also thought about the current Google, although it has shown great potential, but now Google has less than 20 interns, and to reach the scale envisioned by the plan, it will definitely need to expand dramatically, and it is also possible to reach hundreds of employees in a year.

But he didn't rush it, but proposed, "Bill, do you want to visit Google, I'm sure, wait until you've seen it, and then consider whether to take over the position, but I'm sure you won't regret it!" ”

Bill Campbell laughed when he saw his friends persuading him like this, "I'm not free!" Okay, I'm a little curious now why the two of you, a partner at KPCB and a wonder boy, all think so highly of this company? ”

The three of them chatted a little warmly, but Jiang Yizhou was mainly listening, because he knew too little about it, in addition to the general trend of the future development of the Internet, all he could understand was to learn about the deeds of celebrities on the Internet, as well as the development history of well-known Internet companies.

The things that he couldn't understand without entering this circle were still quite curious to him.

However, when discussing Google's next CEO candidate, after Jiang Yizhou brought up the original Eric Schmidt in his memory, he was ridiculed by the two of them, although not malicious.

"Tony, Eric has just taken control of Novell and has become the CEO of Novell, although Novell is now going downhill, but it is still an old Internet company, it is reasonable to say that he will not become the CEO of Google, even if we try to persuade him, the success rate is pitiful!"

Bill Campbell's curiosity about this wonder boy who can talk about it wherever he thinks has also faded a lot, and although he has the ability, he does have the ability to communicate.

Jiang Yizhou was also a little embarrassed to say this, he only knew that Eric Schmidt accepted Bill Campbell's persuasion in 01 years of history and accepted Larry and Sergei's request to be the CEO of Google.

Now analyze it, 01 is the era of the bursting of the Internet bubble, a large number of Internet companies "value return", the stock price fell to the original 1%, or even lower, and now the Novell company where Eric works must have plummeted, so Eric finally came to Google.

Although Novell's performance has declined, it is not comparable to Google, just because of the search engine that is still working hard to improve, or the company without a formal office space, and the company structure without clear rules and regulations?

What's more, it is now widely believed in the industry that search engines are a red ocean, and there is no need for further development.

Of course, if Jiang Yizhou had a jackhorse-like eloquence, he ignored people like Cai Chongxin...... Persuasion to be drawn into his own team is naturally another matter, but it is a pity that he does not have such eloquence.

"But why don't you become the CEO, Tony? You've already founded Arumes, launched qim, Foxmail, blogger, and more, and all of them are doing pretty well!

Except for QIM, but it was sold to AOL and was played by those arrogant guys, and Google's development plan and layout were all proposed by you, I don't think anyone is more suitable for this role than you? ”

John Doerr's proposal made Jiang Yizhou a little nervous, if it was a company he didn't know the future, maybe he could try it with his experience in running Arumes, but Google's future was too big for him to bear!
