The terrible catastrophe did not come, there was not even a minimum of rebuke, and the matter just passed?

Yes, that's it.

Although he wanted to strangle the bastard, Li Jiaming still smiled and had dinner with Larry, and chose to be in his luxurious manor.

Anger and violence will not solve the problem, it will only make it harder to solve. At this point, I can only try my best to make the situation develop in a good direction and avoid greater losses. Even if you want to give up Google, you have to get past the limelight, otherwise HH and yourself will become a laughing stock.

"Ming, you're really not angry?"

Looking at the cautious Larry, Li Jiaming was angry and funny, and teased: "Are you scared now? ”

Larry, who was still apprehensive, also said bluntly: "Of course, if you break your promise, Google will be a failure." ”

"So unconfident?"

"No, I'm confident, but I'm not arrogant. If you come to an agreement with Yahoo, there will be an immediate split within us, setting off a chain reaction. ”

is quite reasonable, in order to minimize his losses, Li Jiaming also seriously analyzed him. Taking the lead does not mean victory, Yahoo is no longer the Yahoo it used to be, after Yang Zhiyuan returned to the helm of Yahoo, he paid more and more attention to technology while attaching importance to content provision. If Google can't get ahead in technology, this first-mover advantage will sooner or later be wiped out by the opponent's overall strength.

Larry knows all these things, and knows what it means for Li Jiaming to analyze so patiently, but he is still unwilling to say: "Ming, the 'excellence' system will be a developed and free system, and it is very likely to become the indos of wireless networks, can't you use Google as a dedicated search tool?" ”

This is impossible, Li Jiaming is not a small boss, as a leader of tens of thousands of employees, the first thing is to lead by example. If he does not distinguish between public and private, his subordinates who have power in his hands will do the same.

"No, and the cooperation with Google is limited to the iPhone 1, if you can't prove that your software is better than others, the iPhone 2 will be pre-installed with other companies' software."

“think\/you”.

“hat?”

Larry repeated, raising his glass in gratitude, "Ming, I've learned a lot from you, thank you for your continued teaching." ”

This is a bit redundant, and there is even an element of hypocrisy, but Li Jiaming accepts it all. Whether in business or in private, some words seem superfluous, but they are actually very needed.

Li Jiaming also raised his glass, took a sip of red wine, and said with a straight face: "Larry, it was a business just now, now let's talk about private matters?" ”

When it finally came, Larry, who had been worried, relaxed and hurriedly said, "You said, even if you want to beat me up, I have nothing to say." ”

That's not it, Li Jiaming said solemnly: "First, why I changed my mind, you know in your heart, but I don't want the third person to know." Second, I hope that nothing like this will happen again in the future. ”

These two points are easy to understand, Larry agreed, and proposed: "Ming, Marissa is very capable and has made great contributions to the company, and I think there should be an appropriate tilt in the future distribution of future stocks." ”

Li Jiaming couldn't deny it, just smiled, and Larry smiled knowingly. Everyone has selfish intentions, justice and fairness are the principle of the leader, but it can only ensure relative fairness, how can there be absolute fairness at all?

After eating in this enviable manor, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Larry returned to the office, and he went to Melissa's brightly lit office to take a look, knocked on the door, and said, "Marisa, is it convenient to have a few words?" ”

“no，ok”.

Larry entered the office, closed the half-covered door, and talked about the meal at Li Jiaming's just now, Melissa listened to it without saying anything, and motioned for him to continue.

"Ok, I don't think I'm wrong because I'm the chairman of the company; But in the position of friends, I have to apologize to you and Ming, can you understand? ”

"Continue"

"Marissa, have you ever thought that if I didn't, Ming would work with us? No, I believe not, we've been together for so many years, and I'm sure you won't believe it either. ”

I don't believe it, even if Li Jiaming said it round that day, Melissa still doesn't fully believe it; But she believes that if she begs, Li Jiaming may agree.

"Will you?"

No, at most, it was a hint, just like last time with the excuse that Larry might sell the company, and the proud Melissa couldn't lower her head to beg Li Jiaming. Larry knew that too, otherwise he would have consulted with Melissa first, rather than cutting it first. Now that the matter is settled, but the aftermath is still there, he has to let Melissa continue to play.

Many things are very strange, such as a confidentiality agreement, the parties sign it, and they will subconsciously keep it confidential. Li Jiaming proposed to her on the phone that day, and her importance in his mind would be more obvious, and he would subconsciously consider her significance when making decisions in the future.

"Marissa, I don't know what you think, it's my child, and I can leave it after it grows, but I can't bear to see it disappear into competition with its opponents."

Hypocrisy!

Melissa finally spoke up and mocked, "If the company fails, you will have nothing, am I right?" ”

"Yes," Larry shrugged his shoulders and said unabashedly, "Feelings are one thing, you're talking about the more important one, and I want to remind you that if the company goes bankrupt, not only will I have nothing, but you will also have nothing."

Marissa, we're not new graduates anymore, and a lot of things have to be realistic. If we succeed, we will be billionaires, and we will stand at the top of the pyramid of society. Fail, and we won't have the opportunity to be one of the hundreds of thousands of programmers in Silicon Valley. ”

Melissa, who was taunting Larry just now, is silent, no one doesn't like success, and no one doesn't like money, especially this kind of wealth that comes from self-struggle. If it's just because of a sense of accomplishment, I'm afraid there won't be a few people left in Silicon Valley.

Seeing that Melissa was silent, Larry knew that the two of them had unraveled their relationship, or that the famous saying was true, 'There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests'. As long as everyone's interests are aligned, this woman will still fight for the company at the critical moment, at least in that great ming, to win a fair competition opportunity for Google.

This is important! Yahoo is so powerful, so powerful that any negligence will make Google fail.

Of course, Larry did not say that when the company goes public in the future, he will tilt her in the redetermination of future stocks. For ordinary people, saying this clearly will have an encouraging effect, but for people like Melissa who are too proud, it will be counterproductive. Not to mention, she will also know in her heart, and she will acquiesce, at least she will not object.

Oh, a synonym for pride, it's actually vanity. The same cultural background allows Larry to know Melissa better than Lee Ka-ming, and knows how to deal with these compatriots who usually believe in God and can convert to Satan at critical moments.
