Vol 5 Chapter 1237: Inevitable fight

Capital, Jiasheng Business District, Google office building.

"Mr. Feng, this is the latest report of Google's search star project," the newly confirmed president of Google China, handed a document to Feng Yiping.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, I won't read it, you just have to call the shots," Feng Yiping pushed back the file, "How is it, how has it been since taking office?"

"President Feng, in front of you, I have to say, the pressure is quite high,"

This is a gentleman who has a thin body and has reached middle age, but whose eyes are still very pure.

After graduating from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1997, he entered the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University for further studies, and later became a lifelong professor at Stanford University and led the scientific computing laboratory.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't think there is any need for pressure. We all know that China is a big market, but Google is still a small company in the domestic market. What pressure can be put on leading such a small company?"

"Oh, from this point of view, pressure is also a good thing. When there is pressure, there is motivation, right," he said to Zhao Yong, his advocate.

This can be said to be the result of his first strong intervention in Google's senior appointment.

As in history, Peppa and the others used a method similar to spy joints to contact the Dr. Li who was still working at Microsoft at this time, but when he consulted Feng Yiping, he refused without hesitation.

He did not really like Dr. Li, the life mentor who was best at simmering chicken soup later.

Let's put it this way, all those who have had the experience of mixing in foreign countries, and therefore, after returning to China, strongly praised the American set of democracy, freedom and equality, he is not too cold.

The main reason is that the subsequent failure of Google China must be said to have a lot to do with the Dr. Li who Page and the others are very satisfied with.

Feng Yiping knew that the reason why Page and the others wanted to choose the president of Google China, in addition to the beautiful resume, was also for the localization of Google China.

In fact, that person did not meet this requirement. That person was actually similar to Chief Yang's experience. He also came to the United States from Wanwan as a child. In fact, apart from the appearance, he didn't have much Chinese elements.

I believe that the people in China, as long as they listen to him for five minutes, they can immediately conclude that this is a "foreigner".

But the Mr. Zhao Yong proposed by the headhunting company is different. When he speaks Mandarin soon, he will also bring out the taste of the lumpy and big ball in the Northeast, which is definitely easier for domestic users to feel cordial.

Another point that Feng Yiping values ​​is precisely because Zhao Yong does not have a glorious resume working in an American high-tech company, which is really not good for Google China now.

Because that would only make him arrogant when he returned to China to lead Google China.

We all know that the main reason why many American high-tech companies fail in China is arrogance.

"Mr. Zhao, forget that Google is a big company, and remember that China is a big market. This is particularly important to our domestic success," Feng Yiping said.

"Understand, just like eBay, they got where they are now, mainly because of their arrogance," Zhao Yong said.

Since a company like LinkedIn proposes to let Zhao Yong take this position, he is naturally not a technical man who only understands technology, and his emotional intelligence is naturally quite online.

"If you want to make a difference in the domestic market, it is also very important, that is, true localization, which is another advantage for you,"

"Frankly speaking, in the past ten years since I left, the domestic changes have been very, very big, but I am sure that I can reintegrate into it in the shortest possible time," said Zhao Yong.

This is also what Feng Yiping liked him.

Those who have a glorious resume in other first-class companies, such as the Dr. Li that Page and their favorites originally liked, are arrogant and not to mention when they arrive in China. Most of them first thought about how to transform some of the habits and opinions of the domestic people. Let domestic users adapt to their set, which they think is advanced and correct.

assimilate into? They wouldn’t have the idea that that would bring them down!

They have always put their respect for the domestic market and users only verbally.

But, hehe, how easy is it to transform the habits and opinions of domestic users?

"It must be right to think like this," Feng Yiping said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I will treat us as a search company that has just started a business in China. Although my original research field is not search, I know very well that in our country with a population of more than 1 billion In front of the market, it is certainly true to maintain enough humility instead of pride," Zhao Yong said.

"I can't encourage each other," Feng Yiping smiled.

"Mr. Feng, do you know that for a long time in the United States, the most difficult thing for me to accept is that there are many people, including some well-known company executives who have business in China and have been to China more than once. Incredible prejudice,"

"So I don't know about other things. In terms of localization, you can rest assured that I will be able to do it well."

"I believe you, so just so, this plan is a good opportunity," Feng Yiping said.

Google Search Star is the largest investment promotion activity launched by Google since joining China. This is naturally a good opportunity for Google to be accepted by more users and make Google more localized in China.

"I see,"

"This is a plan to make Google China more Chinese and let more domestic users understand our search. At the same time, another plan is also hoped that Mr. Zhao will pay attention to it."

"You mean, that training center?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Yes, that's the training center,"

This training center is also out of Feng Yiping's proposal.

It is mainly used to train domestic entrepreneurs, cultivate an entrepreneurial culture and an entrepreneurial friendly environment, and help domestic entrepreneurs to establish connections with Silicon Valley, etc.

This is another move by Feng Yiping to let Google China deeply integrate into China.

Let Zhao Yong be the helm of Google China and localize Google in China. It is another important aspect to let more people in China understand Silicon Valley and the culture of Silicon Valley.

The two sides work together, and the effect will naturally be better.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I also value this project very much. When I first went out, many teachers and classmates said to me, "Go abroad to learn advanced experience, and then return to China to serve."

I believe this is a familiar message for many people who study abroad, but there are not many who can do so, at least for now.

"I finally have the opportunity to do this myself, but this training program is the best way,"

Of course, because of this training program, more Chinese people can learn the advanced experience of Silicon Valley.

He stood up, "It's okay, then I'll go back to work,"

"I'll give it to you," Feng Yiping patted Zhao Yong on the shoulder, "the same sentence, if you need support, please call me at any time."

"As long as it's work-related, I won't be polite,"

"Hehe, as long as you want, you can also come to me for problems in life,"

…………

Seeing Zhao Yong walking back to the office quickly, the smile on Feng Yiping's face faded.

Of course, this is not because of Zhao Yong, but because with the official launch of the Google Search Star program, it also means that the competition with our local search company, Du Niang, has officially begun.

Emotionally speaking, Feng Yiping is really reluctant to help American companies compete with domestic companies in the market. He is more willing to help domestic companies occupy the market originally occupied by American companies.

However, he now has to do it again.

This cannot be said to have nothing to do with the fact that he is the third largest individual shareholder of Google. Since he is a major shareholder of Google, he naturally has to consider the interests of Google.

There is another reason for this, which is clear to all later generations. After a dominant one, the ethics of some of our domestic companies is really getting lower and lower.

Feng Yiping has such strict requirements on his own wedding company, but think about the things Du Niang did later, which are directly related to life safety, and they have no scruples about using it for profit.

Therefore, he felt that introducing such a strong competitor as Google and occupying a portion of the market share would still have a positive impact on the domestic people.

However, even though I think so, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I still feel that I am helping outsiders and bullying myself.

Ugh!

In fact, Feng Yiping personally believes that the most suitable person to lead Google China is not Zhao Yong, but another Mr. Yong, Xu Yong.

This person, in addition to the industry, many people in China must not know.

Speaking of Du Niang, everyone thinks of only Robin Li, but few people know that Xu Yong is also one of the founders of Du Niang.

But he left Du Niang at the end of last year.

As one of the founders, in the company he founded, he intensively planned to leave when the company went public in the United States, that is, when the company he founded was about to succeed-being listed in the United States naturally means the company's success , Among them, naturally there is a hidden feeling.

Feng Yiping didn’t know exactly what was going on, but he knew one thing very well. Xu Yong had a disagreement with his partner because of the bidding rankings. In the end, he should have never argued before and left him to participate at the end of last year. The company founded.

Feng Yiping naturally appreciates those who know that it will bring him huge benefits, but who are firmly opposed to bidding rankings.

Feng Yiping appreciates it even more if he does not hesitate to leave the company.

After leaving the company, Xu Yong returned to Stanford to study for an MBA. When determining the person in charge of Google China, Feng Yiping first thought of him.

I have been in contact three times, but although Xu Yong was actually abandoned by the company he founded, Xu Yong is different from Jobs, who was driven out by the company he founded. He still has a lot of affection for the company he founded.

He really can't accept joining a company in the same industry and singing the opposite of the company he founded...

At this time, Feng Yiping used Xu Yong's matter to comfort himself. From this point of view, it is still useful for the public to find a way to develop Google in China.

"Yiping~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's almost time for you to party with your classmates," Wu Qian came in and reminded.

…………

At this time, in Ideal Life Building, Robin frowned when he saw the report on Google Search Star in his office.

His idea is completely opposite to Feng Yiping's. Why are you helping Google to occupy more market share in China? We have already been very difficult, OK!

"We all believe that this is the beginning of Google China's official full competition with us," said the subordinate analysis.

This point is self-evident. Google China has been very low-key before, and there has never been such a huge promotion activity.

"From the perspective of entertainment, it seems that this is not President Feng's style?" Robin said.

For Feng Yiping, he naturally has research, because he is the person in charge of a domestic Internet company, and Feng Yiping is not only the richest man, but also recognized as the most successful person on the Internet.

I have to say that he has studied Feng Yiping thoroughly. This is really not Feng Yiping's style, because this is the idea of ​​Lao Ma.

"Then how should we respond?" the subordinate asked.

"The most important thing is to analyze the impact of their plan on our IPO plan,"

The IPO is their current top priority and should not be lost.

"As for the specific response, help me contact Mr. Feng's office, I want to meet him,"

"One thing, I think we all know that at present, we are the world's largest Chinese search engine, and our financial data is also growing rapidly. Therefore, we don't need to be too nervous about what kind of promotion Google does. "

He cheered everyone up, maybe he also cheered himself up.
