It is true that Time Magazine is indeed very influential, and has always flaunted itself with objective facts, and likes to interview the most powerful people in the world.

Especially when Ant Search first entered the U.S. market, it was they who first proposed Red Capital.

Time, Warner Bros., CNN, AOL are all people who wear a pair of pants and a nostril in a group.

Besides, the representative significance of appearing on the Times People Weekly is very great, and you didn't even go up to the head of state, so you were interviewed and picked peaches. And how old is he this year? Only 23 years old! At this age, the times are a kind of pride, but they will also bury the root of the bane, which is a typical killing!

Based on various considerations, Chen Bo of course chose to refuse without hesitation. It's been high-profile for a while, and it's time to keep a low profile, and there must be a cooldown time after the ultimate move in the game.

"What about the university's lecture invitations?" Ivanka asked again.

"Berkeley, I can understand, that's the partner. But why did Harvard and London business schools invite me? ”

Although Berkeley's full name is the University of California, Berkeley, it actually does not have a main campus, and any branch is an independent university. Including the University of California, Los Angeles, etc., there are many campuses named after California, all of which are public universities in California. Moreover, Berkeley is more civilian, and it is also the most liberal and tolerant university in the United States, but it is far from Silicon Valley than Stanford, and the allocation of resources is less.

Stanford students start to want to start a business before they graduate, and this kind of talent is the most difficult to retain, and the backbone that can be retained is still dominated by Berkeley students. In addition, the Berklee College of Music, where Leehom and Uncle Bird graduated, was founded by music professors at MIT, located in Boston, on the East Coast, and has nothing to do with Berklee University, but the same mistake of transliteration.

"Drew Foster, director of Harvard's Radlick Institute for Advanced Study, is a well-known affirmative and historian who is an alumnus of Penn and suggested to the Harvard Board of Trustees. As for London Business School, their forte lies in the field of finance, and they probably want students to learn more about the Internet. ”

"Berkeley is scheduled until next month, and the rest will be after the New Year, and I don't really want to be in the public eye right now." It's already November, and it's going to be 04 soon, and the European division has to put up the shelves at a faster pace. It is also necessary to prepare a work plan for the second year to meet the higher challenges.

Su Chenghao visited many places in Europe and made a detailed investigation on the investment environment, laws and regulations, and commercial tax burden. Among them, Ireland and Monaco are the two most popular, but these two countries are only suitable for registration, because the corporate income tax is low, which can save a lot of money, and Apple has opened its European branch in Ireland.

In terms of market development, London is the most suitable place, after all, it is a financial center, with many large companies, and it is an English-speaking country. Other cities such as Brussels and Frankfurt in Belgium are a big problem with language barriers, and they are only suitable for setting up offices.

London is a big city, and of course prices are high, so in order to find talent nearby, Chen Bo plans to set up a separate office in London to be responsible for marketing and brand planning. The technical centre is located 94 kilometres away in Cambridgeshire, where the University of Cambridge is located.

Compared with the heavy conservatism of Oxford University, which has been in love for 800 years, the overall style here is more light and bright, with a little freshness. The meandering Sword River runs between the city and the university, and more than 30 colleges are located next to the centre of Cambridge, where many high-tech companies have settled.

The offices of last.fm music sites are also located here, which is similar to the situation in Silicon Valley, where rows of high-rise buildings are not common, and there are more single-family office buildings that are integrated with nature.

In charge of the European branch is Konstantin, the former president of LinkedIn recommended by Hoffman, in his early 30s, thin, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and hooked nose, with typical Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and he is indeed of British descent, born in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

He flew here with a dozen employees selected from Silicon Valley to officially start their work. And after dealing with the working relationship with McKinsey, Pichai also came here.

"Sundar, I won't say anything politely, I hope you can help Konstantin set up our European branch. It won't stay long, after all, there is a beautiful girl waiting for you in the United States. Chen Bo laughed and teased the senior.

"Since I've come to work, I'm ready to be exploited." Pichai grinned with a mouthful of white teeth.

"Then let's start digging treasures from Cambridge, taking advantage of the popularity of the Wikipedia conference, we can attract a lot of talent."

The Welsh-led Wikipedia is now financially secure, and the servers are not worried, and for the first time it has brought together the main contributors who are lurking behind the scenes, and more than 400 Wikipedia loyalists will gather at the University of Cambridge for a large gathering of liberal academics.

Cambridge was also chosen because Ant Academic has successfully incorporated this famous old school into the alliance, which is inseparable from the credit of Wales, and it is just taking advantage of this shareholder wind to prepare to advance into the backyard of Google in Europe.

Yahoo has gradually declined since it left the United States, and its market share here is not as high as that of the country, and it is even more pressed, with a share of only 17%. Because Ant Search only set up a server, and other promotions were not carried out directly, it was completely free to grow wildly, so it only had a 5% share.

As for the revenue is a sporadic fly leg through the advertising network to do the text chain, now the entry of the branch will focus on changing the status quo.

It's hard to grab food, but Skype, a pawn that has been in ambush for a long time, is now in a league of its own, sweeping across the European and American continents, with nearly 500,000 registered users every day frantically using this free software to make international calls, and the pitiful recharge fee is only enough for basic expenses. For this reason, Chen Bo has transferred $20 million from the B&P Fund to maintain operations.

With 200 million users around the world and open source software in more than 80 languages, such a popular should finally have a place to use.

Myspace is also in full swing after landing in Europe in the second half of the year, mainly young students, and although it has been sold to News Corp., the terms retain the cooperation of Ant Search. Even if the owner changes, he still provides technical support for this content search, and the traffic entrance is still in his own hands.

"Gently I go,

As I come gently;

I beckoned gently,

Be the clouds of the western heavens.

……”

On the quietly flowing Sword River, Chen Bo took Ivanka and Julia with Julia, and the four of them took a small boat called Artemisia by the locals to tour the beautiful scenery of Cambridge.

The boat is not special, and it is very ordinary, not even as characteristic as the canopy boat in Jiangnan and the two-end upturned boat in Venice.

But the focus is on Cambridge, probably because of the influence of this university, and you can feel the bookish breath when you breathe this air. It's like standing on the shore of Weiming Lake, and you can always hear the sound of Lang reading aloud in Tsinghua Park.

Imagining what Xu Zhimo looked like when he was studying in Cambridge, Chen Bo stood on the bow of the boat and improvised a classic song "Farewell Kangqiao", but in Chinese. Because the English version is too popular, it doesn't look like the original version, and it doesn't have any aesthetic sense at all, or the native language is much more beautiful.

"Is it poetry? Listening to you speak Chinese feels like singing. Chen Bo recited this poem in a frustrated manner, and was also evaluated by the other three, and even the captain smiled honestly.

"Of course, it was written by a Chinese student studying here, about 80 years ago." Chen Bo was interested, so he explained the poem in English, Kanghe is the Sword River, which is also the difference in translation, Kangqiao in the poem refers to Cambridge University, if it is called Kangqiao University, it doesn't feel beautiful, and it always feels that it has something to do with great health care.

"He must be an amorous genius." Ivanka said at this time.

"Of course, it has something to do with you and me."

"We?"

The rich boy married a bride he had never met at the age of 18, studied at Clark and Columbia at the age of 19, and then came to Cambridge in 1920. Here he met a scholar who came to lecture in China, and also met the daughter of a scholar, Lin Huiyin. ”

"And then?" Apparently love stories are more loved by them, and even Yulia can't help but ask.

Then he secretly had feelings and was full of joy, one was a merry and talented man, and the other was a young man, and he wrote a lot of romantic poems. Two years later, the father and daughter said goodbye, and Lin Huiyin and her boyfriend went to the University of Pennsylvania to study architecture with the Academy of Fine Arts. Of course, they are our senior brothers and sisters! ”

"And then?"

The merry and talented man divorced and wanted to marry this senior sister, but the senior sister still chose to return to China to marry and teach at the university. But even though this merry and talented man married a wealthy and celebrity again, he still didn't have any thoughts and had a lot of contact. Later, when I learned that my sister was seriously ill, I hurried to the plane to finish the talk, but it was wrecked. ”

"Ah, just dead?"

"It would be scary if I could come back to life." Chen Bo chuckled, "But he is not pitiful, there is also a philosopher who has a crush on his senior sister and has never married for life." ”

"It sounds like the Titanic, but I didn't expect this Sword River to have such a poignant love story, which can be made into a movie."

Poignant fart, Chen Bo said in his heart, it's not that he is too distracted, and Liang Qichao's daughter-in-law dares to move? Just saliva can scold this flowery young man. It's no wonder that his eldest cousin Jin Yong always used his pen name of "Crane in the Clouds" to secretly demean himself in the book, it was all a Luo circle account.

"There are no movies yet, but there are TV series." Isn't it the "April Day in the World" starring Huang Lei and Zhou Xun.

Since he was interested, Chen Bo read another poem "Accidental" by Xu Zhimo, which was short but still melodious and tactful, worthy of being a representative of the poets of the Crescent School.
