Vol 5 Chapter 839: Invite

In the new year, Google also has a new look.

Although the place is still that place, the buildings are still those buildings, and the people are still those people, the Google of this year and the Google of this time last year have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Last year's Google, although it was already a well-known and well-received company, the majority of the people still had a rather abstract understanding of Google.

Page and Brin, although they are already world-renowned successful entrepreneurs, many people don't know them clearly.

But since Google’s successful listing in August last year, the outside world has a very clear understanding of Google and its founder.

Giant companies with a market value of more than US$50 billion, and young wealthy people with a net worth of more than US$10 billion.

In the digital age, nothing is more impressive than such a digital introduction.

As the stock price continued to rise, Google's stock price quickly doubled, and its market value soon surpassed Yahoo, the leading Internet company.

At present, the company's stock price is still rising continuously. I believe that in this quarter, it should be next month, that is, in February. After the announcement of the fourth quarter financial report of last year, the stock price will usher in a significant increase in the process. .

This trend means that those who became millionaires on August 19 last year are now worth more than two million. Similarly, those who were 10 million, 100 million that day will exceed 20 million, 200 million. …….

It may be that the work in the last few months has not been difficult to catch up with the development of those products before the listing, but personal wealth has doubled in so easily.

The cash period set by Google is very short. Nearly 5 months have passed. Most employees have the opportunity to exercise their rights. Compared with the total equity, it looks very thin, or rather inconspicuous. A small portion was replaced by a deposit of at least 6 digits in the bank account.

It is indeed good to have money. Although the company has deliberately emphasized that the number of luxury cars in the company's parking lot has indeed not increased significantly, many people have bought another big item, a house!

Regardless of the country's adult, the desire for their own independent space is in fact universal, and the desire for satisfaction after satisfaction is also the same.

There are also many other incidental benefits. Although there is no need to wear famous brands every day, although everyone is not like Mayer, he spends a lot of money to ask well-known designers to customize clothes. Now, at least one set of high-end clothes can be put in the closet. Fashion.

Although most of the girls here don’t worship money, but please, in the bar, wearing a suit of 400 dollars and wearing a suit of 4,000 dollars, whether it’s accosting or being accosted, there will inevitably be a big gap. …….

I originally had the dream of changing the world. Now this dream has become more and more clear. Too many parts have become reality, and there is no shortage of money in my pocket. You don’t have to worry about life problems, and you can focus more fully on At work, I am proud of my work.......

This makes all Googlers look very energetic, and they already have the status of a world-class company.

…………

This first-class company still has many similarities with other non-first-class companies. For example, the beginning and end of the year are the same, and there are always more meetings.

"Shirley, wait a minute," Susan, who was still packing up, greeted Sandberg just after a meeting in the business department.

"Susan, I think..." Sandberg also wanted to communicate with her boss about her views on some of the issues in the meeting, but Susan interrupted her and looked at her with a smile, "Congratulations,"

Sandberg is puzzled. Congratulations. Where does the joy come from?

"Opportunities are very rare, you must seize them," Susan said again, and the assistant with glasses next to her approached her, "Susan, the meeting over there has already started,"

Susan smiled apologetically at Sandberg, and hurriedly followed the assistant to the next meeting.

Sandberg is confused, a rare opportunity? what chance? Are you going to promote me? But this is not like describing a promotion. If you want to be promoted, the company just sends an email directly. Do you want me to fight for it everywhere? This is not an election.

After returning to the office with questions, she quickly put these articles aside, preparing to convene some members of the team to conduct face-to-face interviews on the work assigned at the meeting.

This is not an easy job. When she first joined Google in 2001, she was only responsible for a four-person team. Four years later, the number of members in the team now in charge has approached 100.

But when she was just about to write an email, she received a call. This number was the first time to contact her directly. This made her a little excited and a little confused, but she didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately put down all the work at hand and picked it up. "Hello Mr. Feng,"

"Hello Ms. Sandberg, can you spare some time recently? I have some questions that I want to discuss with you. It's okay after get off work."

Sandberg immediately remembered what Susan had just said, "This is a rare opportunity, take it," it should be this.

"As long as it's convenient for you, I can make time," Sandberg said immediately after looking at the schedule.

Because she had just started working, her schedule was also very tight, but Feng Yiping's wishes would definitely override all her arrangements.

When Meyer was not a vice president, she dared to let the vice president line up with other people who asked for instructions in front of her office. Sandberg would not do this, and she does not have the confidence to do it now.

Of course, at Google now, even Page, Brin, and Feng Yiping all want to meet, let alone other people?

"It is estimated that your schedule during the day will be very tight, so how about that, at 7 o'clock in the evening, can you arrange it, we will meet,"

"Okay, seven o'clock in the evening," Sandberg said immediately.

"Then, forget it, or come to my house,"

It was not very polite to talk to her about this kind of thing in Google’s office. Page and the others readily agreed to their request to dig people. It’s not always good to go to Google to talk about this kind of thing during working hours.

At the same time, when it comes to such a key personnel operation, with his reputation, it is obviously not too appropriate to talk in an outside restaurant, it is better at home.

Sandberg agreed without thinking, "Okay."

Please, ask yourself to come to his house, besides focusing on it, is there anything else?

However, she looked at the address sent by Feng Yiping, this is not his original place of residence.

In the rest of the day at work, Sandberg will always be a little absent-minded. What kind of a rare opportunity is this? She looks forward to revealing the answer sooner.

At 6:45 in the evening, Sandberg had already seen the castle-like house on the mountain on the road. She pulled the car to the side, checked her appearance again, and called her husband, "Dave , I will be there soon,"

Her husband, Dave Goldberg, who founded launchmedia, became yahoo!music after being acquired by Yahoo in 2001. He himself became the senior vice president of Yahoo Music. At this time, the newly married wife could be Yiping was very excited when he invited him to his home, "I am waiting for your good news,"

Although they don't know what to talk about, they all know that special invitations from people like Feng Yiping mean a rare opportunity.

"It will," Sandberg said.

…………

As soon as Sandberg parked the car, he saw the young man who was 11 years younger than he walked out of the house with a smile, "Hi,"

She hurried up, "Hello Mr. Feng,"

"Just call me Feng, please," Feng Yiping turned her inward, "Sorry, let you run so far,"

"It's my honor," Sandberg said.

This is a woman who is not tall, with a short neck, a little old, and she is not slim-so she is even shorter. Maybe she used to be pretty in the twenty-eight years, but she is not a pretty woman now.

Maybe it’s because the altitude is not high and the weight is not light, so her center of gravity is not high and the chassis is very stable. She looks very stable, which is different from what she sees later when she always speaks on various occasions. Many looks, but concise and concise.

Feng Yiping thought, this may have something to do with her previous work experience.

"You must be hungry too, please, let us talk while eating," Feng Yiping was gentlemanly helping her pull out the chair.

"Thank you,"

This is Sandberg's first contact with Feng Yiping outside of work. Since entering the door, Feng Yiping's performance has made her feel that this is a gentle and polite young man.

But he is obviously more than that.

At least, he is more calm than himself.

When the main course was almost finished, Sandberg decided to ask himself, "Feng, I want to know, is there any deficiency in my job?"

In any case, it is always appropriate to start a conversation in this way in front of your superiors. Of course, it is not enough to be humble, and you must emphasize your own strengths, "Feng, you may not know me well, I am in many ways... …,"

"Trust me, I fully understand your abilities and strengths," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

He could see that Sandberg was a little nervous now, she was worried about her knowledge and evaluation of her, and cared about whether she liked her.

"It's just that, I think in the future, we may have to change our understanding of some problems, or to look at some problems from another angle,"

"One of your problems is that you are too worried about whether others like you. I think there is no need to entangle this question. A person who can change the world cannot win everyone’s love, because if you say that everyone will If you agree, then your views may not be of much value. In a general sense, a view that can bring a breakthrough will definitely be a view that someone disagrees with."

Sandberg's focus is all on Feng Yiping's words "look at some issues from another angle". So, do you really want to promote yourself?

"Sorry Feng, I will definitely try to adjust my shortcomings in some aspects,"

"Don't be sorry, I believe that if you can get rid of this problem that will drag you down, you will be very successful and have a very large influence."

Feng Yiping's words convinced Sandberg that he must be reused by the company.

"Okay," Feng Yiping wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Today I specially invited you to meet~www.wuxiaspot.com~I want to talk to you. In fact, I sincerely invite you to join the Facebook team and serve as our The chief operating officer is responsible for sales, marketing, acquisitions, cooperation, personnel, public policies and liaison matters, etc., except for product development."

Sandberg was stunned. This, it seems that it is not the result I expected?

Yes, if you want to promote yourself, it is true that Feng will not come to talk to yourself.

"Actually, my expectations and arrangements for you are not limited to this. You see, our nextdoor, youtube, coin star, etc. all have advertising business, but some have not yet launched an online advertising business, such as facebook, youtube also In this way, these projects that have already launched business are currently doing their own things. I hope that in the future you can even take responsibility for this one."

The shocked Sandberg was quickly digesting the information in Feng Yiping’s words. In this case, in the future, he should be directly responsible to him. In fact, his position is not just the chief operating officer of Facebook. .

"Feng, I have to say, I feel very honored, but I don't know if such behavior will misunderstand Schmidt and the others."

Although she meant to decline, what she said was from the perspective of considering Feng Yiping.

"Don't worry about this, I have obtained their consent," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"only me……,"

"I understand that for such a problem, you must seriously consider it, and you should also discuss it with Dave, no problem," Feng Yiping smiled. In any case, Sandberg must be recruited.

"Let's have a toast first, and wish our cooperation,"
