When he received a call from Professor Hinton, Gu Mojie was preparing to have dinner with Feliro.

Then, after listening to just two sentences, Gu Mojie was scorched by thunder.

"You mean, LaliPage wants to see me? Dinner together tonight? Can I confirm this: the Lali Page you are talking about is the founder of Google, Lali Page? ”

Gu Mojie blankly repeated the words of Jeff Hinton on the other end of the phone, and then got an affirmative reply.

If there was a third person next to him at this moment, that third person would definitely misunderstand, thinking that Gu Mojie's retelling was deliberately said to the people next to him, in order to pretend to be forced.

It's like a person who shares the news of his circle of friends at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, and he must want the Mac to automatically add a suffix to him: two minutes ago, at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.

Fortunately, there was no third person next to him, only Felilo.

Fortunately, Feliro knows Gu Mojie too well, so she will never think that Gu Mojie is pretending.

He was genuinely surprised.

"Okay, you don't have to prepare any business plans, just have a meal and just talk casually, right? Then I'll be on time. ”

Gu Mojie hung up the phone and shrugged at Feliro on the side: "It seems that we can't have dinner until 8 o'clock, so we have to rush to Mountain View City now." Are you hungry? I'll ask you to translate for me later. ”

There was a fascination in Feliro's eyes. The man next to her seems to be the focus of the world, whether it is in academia or business, he will spontaneously get together and make friends. Feliro felt that her surprise was already in arrears, and she needed to top up immediately when she returned.

It wasn't until Gu Mojie gently pushed Feliluo's shoulder that she came back to her senses.

She quickly replied: "I'm not hungry, but I'm the boss of Google, so let's go." ”

"That's hunger." Gu Mojie made a domineering conclusion, then turned around and went to the restaurant next door to order a takeaway salmon handroll, didn't let him add sushi rice, came back and handed it to Feliluo, and then the two of them went out to call a taxi, and it didn't take five minutes before and after.

"I remember you liked the flavor - if you weren't hungry. When you answer me, you don't say, 'The person we're going to meet is the boss of Google.'" ”

In the past half a month, Fei Liluo and Gu Mojie have also gotten along day and night, working and living together. Gu Mojie also felt more clearly about Fei Liluo's temperament. Listening to a few words casually, you can figure out the true meaning behind the language, which is really heartwarming.

Feliro sat in the car, slowly nibbling on the salmon rolls. Turn your face sideways from time to time to keep your tears from flowing.

"It would be nice if I could get to know Applejack for six or seven years. Why didn't I think of pretending to be Xiaonan's parent to attend the parent-teacher conference when I was in high school......"

……

Gu Mojie has been busy with his own affairs during this time, and he has no time to care about the industry dynamics. As for why Lali Page suddenly came to him, Gu Mojie had no clue.

However, since he was targeted, he took out his mobile phone to search for the news, and Gu Mojie was suddenly surprised.

Google Inc. just rang the bell on the NASDAQ yesterday! Such a big news was not paid attention to at the first time. It really shouldn't be.

"No wonder they want to see me at this time - maybe it's because of the success of the listing, and the money is big. I want to find some new technology areas and increase the amount of investment. ”

Feliro was eating salmon rolls, so naturally she couldn't use her phone at the same time. After listening to Gu Mojie's words, she leaned over her face and glanced at it. At the same time, I secretly blamed myself in my heart: Applejack is so busy that it is normal to have no time to watch the news. As an assistant, I didn't even help him notice such important news......

Gu Mojie was brewing his thoughts, and Fei Liluo was thinking about it there, and the car quickly drove to Mountain View City.

The place of La Lipetciyo is also a beachfront hotel. It's just north of Google, on the edge of the bay. Gu Mojie took a look at the surrounding atmosphere, and it seemed that this place was often chartered by Google's people.

Gu Mojie and Lali Page didn't know each other, so he called Jeff Hinton before getting out of the car, and the other party waited there in advance. As soon as Gu Mojie arrived. He was led by Hinton and went up to the terrace on the top floor.

Mountain View is the heart of Silicon Valley, and it's naturally different from the small outskirts of Belmont.

The sea-view hotels here are often built on reclaimed land built with breakwaters, so the north and south sides are surrounded by the sea, and the scenery is very broad. The Palm in Dubai. It is from this structure that I learned.

After all, where the rich get together, everyone wants to live in a room with a sea view. However, the natural coastline is only that long, so real estate developers have thought of this "layer by layer" approach to maximize the "surface area" of the coast. In the whole of the United States, in addition to the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami, Florida likes to do this.

Coming out of the elevator, a strong salty sea breeze blew on his face, and Gu Mojie suddenly felt refreshed. There are transparent sea views on both sides of the front and back, this kind of place, Gu Mojie has really never been to it.

Seeing Gu Mojie come in, the two young men who were originally sitting at a long table stood up.

"Welcome, this is Mr. Gu. I really didn't expect to be so young. Also brought such a beautiful lady. ”

Gu Mojie didn't need to translate for a simple conversation, and answered directly. He greeted him and shook hands politely: "Mr. Page and Mr. Brin are not old - by the time I am 30 years old, I don't know if I will be listed on the NASDAQ." ”

This sounds easy-going, but it is also arrogant. Lali Page was stunned, he really didn't expect Gu Mojie to be so angry, and he wanted to be listed on the NASDAQ before the age of 30.

Fortunately, people in the Internet industry are young and not hypocritical, and when a few people laugh at the moment, they can be regarded as acquaintances. Sit down and start eating.

Americans don't like to talk at the wine table, and if they have to talk while eating, most of them will be arranged as a buffet, which is a buffet of cold dishes.

Page and Gu Mojie touched their glasses and said, "We have all paid attention to Mr. Gu's planning and recent actions. I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be such an accomplished entrepreneur in China. At least Sherman and I couldn't have done that well when we were 19 years old. ”

Gu Mojie took a sip, not arrogant: "It is also more important to receive systematic education, although I have started a business, but I still think that most entrepreneurs should finish their studies before starting a business." ”

Brynn interjected casually: "Not necessarily, if Gates had finished Harvard, maybe Microsoft wouldn't have been his turn to build it." Far from it, let's just talk about this year -- we in the United States also have an example similar to Mr. Gu; Coincidentally, like Gates back then, he was a Harvard student. Mark Zuckerberg. I STARTED A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE CALLED FACEBOOK, I DON'T KNOW IF MR. GU HAS HEARD OF IT? If Zuckerberg had waited until he graduated from Harvard to do this, he might not have been able to do it. ”

Gu Mojie humbly said: "Of course I have heard of it, and Mr. Zuckerberg is also an example for me to learn." At least his current market value is above mine. ”

Gu Mojie's words are actually a bit too modest.

HISTORICALLY, FACEBOOK, AFTER RECEIVING HUGE INVESTMENTS, GREW TO THE END OF 2004. The total market capitalization is estimated at $200 million. AND NOW IT'S ONLY THE END OF AUGUST, AND THERE ARE STILL 4 MONTHS LEFT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, FACEBOOK IS NOT WORTH SO MUCH.

AT THE SAME TIME, ZUCKERBERG HAS RECEIVED A LARGE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT, AND HIS PERSONAL STAKE IN FACEBOOK HAS BEEN DILUTED TO LESS THAN 30% THAT YEAR, SO COMPARED TO PERSONAL ASSETS, ZUCKERBERG IS NOT NECESSARILY ABOVE GU MOJIE, IT CAN ONLY BE SAID THAT HIS COMPANY'S TOTAL MARKET IS LARGER THAN GU MOJIE.

However, Gu Mojie's Hatsune Network Technology has been established since its establishment. He has never accepted a dime of venture capital, so he doesn't need to let the investment market value his company, and Gu Mojie's low worth makes sense.

Gu Mojie's words are just Chinese modesty. However, Americans don't know what modesty is, and Page listened to Gu Mojie's words, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Isn't this an investment opportunity sent to the door?

Page immediately followed the words just now and said: "Mr. Gu's future achievements will definitely not be under Zuckerberg, what you lack is only the original capital - I will tell the truth today." Your internet cloud security and cloud number jù statistics, we google are very interested. If you want, we can inject capital into your company and accelerate this business. ”

It seems that Gu Mojie is not at ease. Page added: "Today's Google is completely different from yesterday." Now that we are listed on NASDAQ, we will have many times more cash flow than before, enough to invest in a large number of new technology projects. ”

Gu Mojie was stunned. I didn't expect the Americans to speak so bluntly. He politely refused: "I'm sorry, I didn't think about accepting investment - my current projects are not short of funds." I've also never considered diluting my equity. If you have less money, it's a big deal to do one project at a time, and then do the next one when you make a profit, and then find cash flow slowly. ”

This time it was Page's turn to be stunned, the Chinese in front of him was actually so conservative in the financial field.

"Mr. Gu, the opportunity in the Internet world is fleeting. If you are really prepared to rely on your own funds, you will not be able to reach the scale of our Google in ten years. ”

"But I'll be twenty-nine years old in ten years' time—aren't I two years younger than you are, Mr. Page? I'm not in a hurry. Besides, if I had been willing to accept the investment, I would have had the opportunity to get Baidu's investment in me 18 months ago. ”

Page was dumbfounded, as if the young man in front of him was indeed not the kind of guy who needed to "white his head and seize the day".

The more this is the case, the more Paiga feels a little unbearable, wanting to take down the unruly teenager in front of him.

After all, if you can't take it, Google will have to invest money to do it again in the future, and it is better to cooperate deeply with the teenager in front of you.

"Mr. Gu, I understand your thoughts, I think you are an honest engineer who hates those Wall Street vampires. But venture capital doesn't always dramatically dilute the founder's equity.

As long as you accept it, we can talk slowly about valuation and shareholding, right? Even if you don't want your sole proprietorship to be diluted, we can discuss other ways to allocate capital. For example, set up a new Internet security company, and then your sole proprietorship company will be the majority shareholder of the new company, and we will inject capital into the new company. I don't think there are fundamental differences between us, the details are all discussable. ”

Page was sincere, so sincere that it didn't quite fit his lofty status.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Page. But I want to know, what do you want from me? You should know that even if I am a sole proprietor of 'Cloud Security' today, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of 'Cloud Security' in the future. As for the meager profit of 'cloud security', you Google shouldn't look at it, right? ”

Page took a sip of ice wine and threw out an answer: "But if we don't participate, we won't get the credit rating behind 'cloud security,' will we." In any 'cloud' era, even if there are technical principles and software, but without cloud numbers, you will not have a thorough grasp of this field. ”

Gu Mojie smiled: "Then how much money are you going to invest?" How much do you have in the new company? (To be continued.) )
