Back To 1995: Chapter 873 change face
Chapter 873 Changing face
After hanging up the phone, Larry Page showed an excited and unexpected expression on his face, and said to Sergey Brin and Khosla in the office, "It's the financial director of the North American Global Investment Foundation, Ma A call from Cus, Bruno Song wants to see us!"
Hearing that it was Song Yang who wanted to see them, Sergey Brin also showed surprise. They had been waiting for ICQ's acquisition, but instead of waiting for it, they waited for Song Yang's call.
Now Song Yang is no longer the major shareholder of ICQ, but in the Internet industry, who dares to underestimate Song Yang? !
Song Yang became the richest man in America by relying on the Internet. As the first group of people who started the Internet wave, there were people known as the leader of the Internet martial arts before, but until now, they are still recognized as the Internet leader. But there are only a few people such as Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan, and the rest have disappeared!
Really speaking, Song Yang is much more famous than ICQ. ICQ can have everything it is today, but it was created by Song Yang!
Hearing that Song Yang wanted to meet the two people from Google, Khosla was also a little surprised. ICQ and Song Yang are interested in Google, which have completely different meanings.
Khosla's emphasis on Google is not because he thinks that Google can become a giant company in the future, otherwise KPCB Venture Capital would have already invested money in Google, so why push Google into the arms of Excite.
Excite search company is also invested by KPCB venture capital. Khosla wants Excite to acquire Google because he hopes that Excite can take advantage of Google's search technology to reach a higher level.
As for the fact that Google will become a giant, Khosla has not thought about it. After all, there is already a giant company like Yahoo in the search industry. In addition to Yahoo, there are also search companies such as Excite.
Google does have some technology in the search industry, but... that's all. So what if you have technology? In this world, not all industries can become a giant company if you have technology. Google's technology is really good. Searches are accurate and fast, but so what...
Now the search technology mainly serves portal websites, providing users with news, weather, entertainment, stocks, sports and other content searches. The portal industry has been dominated by Yahoo, Lycos, MSN, Excite, ICQ, etc. Google, also want to fight with these giant companies? !
There is another rule that is unspeakable for the current Internet industry, and that is "user stickiness".
The current Internet advertising billing model requires users to spend more time browsing web advertisements. If users immediately find the content they want on the website, they may leave the website, so that the website will not earn a dollar.
This has led to some websites, in order to allow users to stay on the website for a longer period of time, deliberately make the website "slow" and "slow". Google's search technology is so fast, but it is not a good thing for the website. Advertising costs are reduced.
Excite is not willing to acquire Google, and there is indeed a reason for this. Even if Google’s search speed is faster, they don’t think much of it. They don’t think Google’s technology is so good. Which of the major search companies such as Excite and Excite can’t make the search speed faster? They are really big search giants, and the engineers who spend a lot of money every year are eating nothing, and they can’t compare to Google’s grassroots engineers? !
People often say that the rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world. The search industry is working hard to collect money and cut leeks. Google is the only one who is sober, right? !
In addition to this unspeakable reason, there is another reason why Yahoo and Excite are unwilling to acquire Google, and that is that Larry Page wants Google to replace Yahoo! , Excite and other companies' original search technology, which directly caused several acquisitions to collapse.
Before Khosla felt a little sorry for Google. He didn’t want to see Google close down like that, and found many buyers for it.
But now, when he heard that Song Yang wanted to meet the two founders of Google, Khosla immediately smelled something unusual.
"Larry, Brin, and KPCB Ventures have always supported Google. If necessary, KPCB Ventures can stand with Google and get more benefits for Google!"
Khosla said to Larry Page and Sergey Brin in advance, telling them that KPCB Venture Capital will help them bargain with the funder, lest they be sold, and help count the money...
Just one phone call made Khosla's attitude change a hundred and eighty degrees. Now it seems that they both want to invest in Google. Larry and Brin both have influence on Song Yang. new understanding.
Irene's business card gave Google a little fame, but Song Yang's favor seems to be able to completely change the fate of Google!
Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, and finally nodded to Khosla, agreeing to let Khosla follow and go to see Song Yang together.
Born in Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are no strangers to Song Yang. Although Song Yang is not from Stanford University, there are various rumors about Song Yang circulating in Stanford.
Even Larry Page and the others know that many people at Stanford regard Song Yang as their spiritual pillar, and want to become rich overnight by relying on the Internet like Song Yang. The matter of the Regal Club is still widely circulated in Stanford and major universities in America, and it has become the "ironclad proof" that the Internet has become rich overnight!
Although Stanford is only twenty miles away from San Jose, this is also the first time for Larry and Brin to come to Song Yang's villa.
Song Yang's current San Jose villa is not too eye-catching compared to other mansions, but both Larry Page and Larry Page know that Song Yang's super mansion is under construction, and it directly compares with Bill Gates' mansion. Seattle estate.
Even if it has not been completed, it will be published in various architectural magazines every now and then. Many American media have also revealed the unfinished top-level manor. There are even rumors that Song Yang has already made a move. At various auctions, for The manor has purchased a sky-high price collection. It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not, but the rumors have their noses and eyes. Every time it’s rumored, the auction items of the day can often be sold for a sky-high price...
After entering the villa, Marcus was already waiting there. Larry Page and Sergey Brin did not dare to neglect the person who was in charge of Song Yang's pocketbook. Many figures in the Internet industry They are "unnamed", but they are all big figures on the Internet.
Especially for a person like Marcus who is in charge of the money bag and has a lot of dollars in his hands, a little resource leaked from his fingers is enough for several Internet companies to live comfortably!
After working together for the past few years, Marcus has also learned about the Silicon Valley venture capital group. Although Khosla is not as famous as KPCB founder John Dole, he is not an unknown person.
Seeing Khosla coming with Larry and Brin, Marcus took a look at him, then just nodded to Khosla, and led a group of people into the villa.
When Larry Page and Sergey Brin followed into the hall of the villa, they saw that several people were already sitting inside. Larry and Brin saw Song Yang in the crowd at a glance, and handed them the Irene from the business card is actually here today.
Irene, who was watching a videotape with Song Yang, Gallo, Haili and others, saw Larry Page and the others coming, and nodded to them.
Song Yang also saw a few people coming, and waved to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, telling them to sit down first. After sitting down, Larry and Brin also looked at the TV Watch the videotape played on it.
From far to near, the video tape appeared on the Panda LCD TV. It was a huge plane. Seeing this plane, Larry and Brin had some guesses in their hearts, and then they heard a person sitting in the hall say, "Song , the main fuselage of this Airbus A319 has been built, and it is now undergoing interior decoration and test flight. If nothing else, the A319, the most luxurious private jet in the world, can be parked in your hangar before August this year !"
Hearing the plane in the video tape, it really is the private jet that has been widely rumored in the Internet industry for a long time. Larry Page Sergey Brin has already heard the name of this private jet worth 300 million dollars for a long time.
"John Leigh, President of Airbus Sales!" Khosla glanced at the person who was talking, and whispered to Larry and Brin.
