Summer is here, the sun is scorching in California, but the wind is cold in Silicon Valley.

Not to mention, in the office building rented by Google, three small companies were liquidated at one time. The CEO of the company that developed compression technology was a classmate of Larry and Sergey. The two of them also came to plead with Li Jiaming for this, wanting him to invest some money to save that small company with very good technology from being liquidated.

If this is in China, Li Jiaming, who also knows the young man, will definitely give a hand. But this is in the United States. Hearing the news that the compression company had been liquidated, Li Jiaming hurriedly sent an assistant to a venture capital fund to buy it, and the two venture capital funds invested $5.2 million, and he only spent $1 million to acquire the small company; and through a Japanese assistant, he found a small financial fork and kicked the white ghost out of the company, leaving only the white ghost's team.

Relying on the algorithm developed by this small company, e's music has been better compressed, which not only saves more than 1/4 of the storage space, but also increases the download speed by 18% and the fidelity rate by 7.3%.

It is said that the other two companies were bought by Cisco from the venture capital fund at a cabbage price, and the founders let the venture capital fund liquidate the company with preferential liquidation rights after half a year. As for those employees who enjoy futures stocks, in addition to a pitiful little salary, futures stocks have become a beautiful soap bubble.

Seeing that there was finally a wave of corporate closures in Silicon Valley, Lao Zhang, who was far away in China, was ecstatic, and hurriedly ran here, also brandishing cash checks, swallowing two or three small search companies at the price of cabbage, and happily transplanting people's advanced algorithms and technologies back to China. It is estimated that this time I will go back and fight with Yahoo (Huaguo), which will technically be on par with Google's engine.

This is Silicon Valley, if it succeeds, the founder is the hero and billionaire in the limelight, and if it fails, it is a bear. Some will return to the garage to continue the struggle, and many more will not know what to do. As for the tech-tech companies that have failed, they have become meat on the beaks of vultures to feed their huge stomachs.

…………

Unlike being indifferent to the friends he occasionally met at that party, Li Jiaming was honest with valuable friends like Larry. As Larry and Sergei expected, Li Jiaming asked the company's people to have a party and give them some advice, and the other chairman didn't care about them anymore.

At every meeting, Li Jiaming always sent his Japanese assistant to attend, and after Larry finished talking about the topic, the Japanese first asked Sergei for his opinion. Sergei held a positive opinion, and he immediately expressed his support, but Sergei objected? It seems that no, and what can be discussed on the board of directors must be that the two people have reached a unified opinion.

Of course, Larry, who is not experienced enough, is also uncertain about some things, and he has no success in discussing with Sergei, so he can only go to Li Jiaming in person. In a word, since that party, Li Jiaming, the chairman, has no longer care about anything, just like the company's consultant, and only cares about it when asked.

There's no way, it's easier to brag than to do things, YLE has to buy patents everywhere, negotiate financing plans, and find partners, and he doesn't have many connections in the United States, so he can only sit in the company.

It's not okay not to sit in the formation, HH company was established too short, so short that the entire company's management team is not complete, Kyle is busy with business negotiations, can Li Jiaming come to sit in the formation?

However, although the renamed Google company is very busy, so busy that they have to work hundreds of hours a week. But whenever they have a little free time, Larry still likes to come to Li Jiaming to play, or drag him to the company's party. It's not because the chairman who doesn't care about anything is fun, and it's not because people are rich, but they need this Li Jiaming, the Asian tiger, to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Don't think that Americans are simple-minded, they are just as calculating.

Yahoo is one of the overlords of the Internet, Yang Zhiyuan is the god of Yahoo, but that god-like man is Li Jiaming's friend, and he is a good friend who can force him to come to the party. From time to time, I mix with Li Jiaming and Yang Zhiyuan, and Yahoo's people can be polite to them, which is very important to Google, which is still very weak.

Larry, who is harmless to humans and animals on the outside, is not a good person, and there is a lot of bad water in his stomach, but this person is good at camouflage, and there are many small tricks and tricks behind him.

For example, their search engine is placed on Yahoo's web page to provide search services for Yahoo, and at first it only displayed their logo on the search bar; within a month, he came up with a trick to secretly change the search bar to a Google link, and the search page directly pointed to Google's URL. Just such a small trick made Google's daily traffic soar by 13.3 times compared with last week, and the number of visits reached 10,000 people, and it is still growing rapidly.

The success of successful people is definitely not only luck, but also their own talent is the decisive factor.

Holding a cold beer can in his hand, the Li family, whose expression remained unchanged, was secretly happy that this company was about to create a miracle. is such a small trick that the sword goes sideways, and I will never be able to think of it, and if I think of it, I may not risk offending Yahoo to do it.

But the trouble of cleaning up the aftermath also fell on Li Jiaming's head.

Appear above the search bar, this is what everyone has talked about, and then point the search results page directly to Google's URL, Yahoo of course does not want to. After being discovered by Yahoo, Tim immediately ordered the technical department to block the link, even if they held % of the shares.

The garden was bustling with young people barbecuing and playing by the pool, but Larry and Sergey were nervous. If Li Jiaming does not come forward to mediate, Yahoo will definitely permanently block the company's links, without that platform with huge traffic, how can Google's search engine be promoted?

It's hard to say this, it's easy to say, it's too fast, if you solve this problem for them, I'm afraid that by the end of the year, you will have enough traffic to engage in bidding rankings, then you still have a chance to grab the shares from Yahoo?

After pondering for a long time, Li Jiaming politely refused: "Larry, things are not so simple. If I don't show up, they won't notice yet, and as soon as I do, Jerry will react. ”

“hat?”

Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Li Jiaming motioned to Sergei to close the door, and then whispered: "The reason why he was raised to the altar by Yahoo is that in addition to founding Yahoo, he also snapped up companies with huge traffic and no actual value with AOL everywhere, and when AOL hooked it and found an excuse to give up the acquisition, it has already put the other party on a big burden of nearly 15 billion US dollars." ”

What the?

Compared with the failure of the acquisition of the dcast website and the current predicament of broadcast, the two can't help but be shocked, since they say so, they have published papers on traffic misunderstandings, and his friendship with Jerry, they must have also participated in these big conspiracy.

God, how insidious are they?

Li Jiaming took a big sip of beer and said in a frightened voice: "You know, Jerry and I both think that the Internet is a winner-takes-all field. If Yahoo knew that your daily traffic was growing so fast, their first instinct would be to kill you, even if they held 30% of your shares. ”

After a moment of silence, the nervous Larry also whispered, "So, we're going to bow our heads?"

"Yes, first go to Tim to admit his mistake, and then ask for an increase in the service fee under the pretext of the company's loss. If you don't agree, just guard him every day, even if it is an increase of $10,000, you must be elated!"

After coming up with a bad idea, Li Jiaming touched the other party with a beer can, and warned in a very philosophical manner: "Larry, entrepreneurs have no dignity. Before you reach our heights, you have to be as humble and even flattering to a big man like Tim as you were when you were looking for venture capital. ”

“ok”

"Let's go out, and be careful to keep it secret, even if it's someone in the company. ”

The three of them walked to the door, and Sergei, who was a little more introverted, suddenly said, "Ming, can you do me a favor?"

"Say".

"Richard was fired from your company, can you give him a chance? ”

The love of bullshit is just that the market conditions are not good, and I can't find a good job, so I want to come back to sit in a high position, get a high salary, and start a new business after accumulating some capital. The virtue of these entrepreneurial dogs, Li Jiaming is too clear. But this face has to be given, Sergei intercedes in disregard of the rules of the workplace, and he must sell this favor.

Li Jiaming frowned slightly, picked up his mobile phone to make a call, and pretended to ask a few words before hanging up.

"Okay, let him get back to the company. Is there a problem that I can give him a portion of the futures shares and let him re-exist as a subsidiary of HH?"

"No problem, thank you. ”

"It's okay, it's all done by Nakamura-kun, he wants to fully integrate PP into HH. Sergey, the next time there is such a situation, remember to remind me that a career is a career, and friendship is still friendship. ”

Knowing that in addition to being a great entrepreneur, this Chinese must also be a very sinister conspirator, but Larry and Sergei actually have a kind of warmth. At the very least, the conspirator will cherish friendship.

Perhaps, the three of them left the room and joined the young people who were laughing and discussing the gossip in Silicon Valley with them. As soon as he heard a few words, Li Jiaming interrupted: "Melissa, where did you hear that?"

"It just aired on TV that Mr. Owen Jacobs is back as chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. ”

There may be a chance to come.

Li Jiaming hurriedly went back to his room to surf the Internet, and it was really Qualcomm CEO who resigned, and Mr. Owen, who had retired, re-emerged as the chairman and CEO of Qualcomm.

"Ming, what's wrong?"

Unable to explain this beautiful trouble, Li Jiaming hurriedly called Kyle and asked him to come over to discuss cooperation with Qualcomm, and then called Nakamura and asked him to contact Qualcomm.
