Vol 5 Chapter 1269: Backfire

"Haha," Robin smiled looking at the famous gentleman in Silicon Valley, Schmidt, who always had a kind smile like Colonel KFC on his face, was so excited.

"I don't know whether you are more clear," he clicked on the table with his index finger, and made a crisp "puff" sound. "In China, not all search companies can become Baidu."

No matter what kind of image it is in front of the public, every entrepreneur will always have such a domineering time in his own three-acre land.

Schmidt had never seen Robin like this before. He was a little dazed for a while, but his eyes became sharper.

Although at Google, at Page and Brin, as well as another younger and more accomplished Feng Yiping, he has always been a little weak, but this really does not mean that he will be like this in front of others. .

Even in front of the founder of Wolf Factory, who he thinks may pose a threat to Google.

Because he is currently the CEO of a company with the largest market value in the Internet field, and the CEO of the most successful Internet company in the world.

He looked at Robin deeply, and was about to turn around and leave.

Feng was right. He came to the door to talk about the acquisition at this time. It was indeed the same as Semel, the CEO of Yahoo at that time, asking Page and the others to make an offer at Google. It was purely self-inflicted with himself.

He didn't even want to say goodbye.

Google has surpassed Yahoo, and now even the veteran technology giant Microsoft doesn’t care. The company I visited, no matter how well it went public, will never exceed $5 billion in market value, but Google’s market value is a fraction of that. That's it.

So, after really making up your mind, what should you worry about?

"Schmidt, please," Robin chased him over, "I'm sorry, as a Chinese, I shouldn't say that. Although that is the market value, I can be humble."

Schmidt frowned and looked at him, "You are not an apology,"

"Forget it Schmidt, are we going to behave like children? You said radical things, and I also said radical things."

Schmidt also knew that it was indeed that he had said something radical first, and then the man in front of him who was also very humble in the eyes of the public, did not show any weakness.

However, I am the CEO of Google after all. Where do you have the confidence to confront me?

"You know that I came with full sincerity, and you also know that there are not many opportunities for Google to extend an olive branch. If you miss it, there will be no more."

"Please sit down," Robin took him to sit down, "Schmidt, I think we can just discuss the question of sincerity,"

"Do you doubt my sincerity?" Schmidt with Erlang's legs folded, his body leaning forward a little, "You know, how much work did I do for this trip? You know, in order to persuade them to agree with me. Try, how much effort did I make?"

"No Schmidt, you got it wrong, my sincerity is not in this regard," Robin waved.

"You know, we have been intensively planning the IPO in the past few months. You also know how difficult it is to succeed in an IPO. You know, during this period, any small disadvantages, Will be viewed by investors with a high magnifying glass, which may even lead to irreparable consequences..."

"Say it directly," Schmidt interrupted.

"Okay, as the CEO of Google, you must know that Google China, or Google, is preparing to invest heavily in brand promotion activities for the first time."

"And we all know that from the beginning to the present, Google has never had such a precedent, but this time it broke this precedent, and this is one of them."

"Second, the timing of choosing the promotion is exactly on the eve of our preparation to submit the prospectus. Schmidt, put yourself in your position and think about it. Do you think all of this is too subtle?

"Put yourself in and think about it, you will think that these represent sincerity?"

Robin almost wanted to knock on the table again. Is this sincere? This is obviously deliberate.

"First of all, I want to say that although we attach great importance to the Chinese market, problems in such a regional market do not need people at my level to pay attention," Schmidt said.

This is the domineering style of a gentleman.

You see the Chinese market bigger than the sky, and you see the short-term success in the Chinese market higher than the sky, but for us, the Chinese market is just a piece of our regional market.

In your opinion, those arrangements that Google may have a great influence on you, those arrangements that are very important, I actually don't even need to know them.

"Secondly, Google is a very enlightened company. Google China has a very high degree of freedom. I am not sure about the job you mentioned, and I will not bother."

Robin really doesn't believe what he said, so just pretend!

In this way, the investment will be hundreds of millions, and the cost will almost match our revenue last year. Will the promotion activities not go through Google headquarters?

When you come to China this time, the executives of Google China will not report to you the progress in this regard? Who are you lie to!

"Of course, now I know about this promotion planned in China. I read their plan. I think it is a good plan. As for the timing, I think it is purely coincidental."

"We are all aware that such activities cannot be carried out temporarily. At the beginning of the year, when we officially launched the search service to the Chinese market, this plan was in preparation."

"I think, sometimes, we still don’t have a clear understanding of ourselves. How should I say, a fact that may be embarrassing is that it is very possible. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, you are not as important as you think. ,"

"You think that some things may be deliberately targeted, but in fact, it may really be self-love,"

If you say this, it's not quite rude, but very rude.

He is equivalent to saying, do you think we are targeting you? You really think too much, because, in fact, you don't even have the qualifications for us to specifically target.

Schmidt, who had completely let go of his conspiracy after determining that it was impossible to have a result, was not generally sharp.

"Haha, Schmidt, you are so funny," Robin laughed.

After hearing what Schmidt said, he really didn't want to laugh.

When someone is said to be affectionate, whoever wants to laugh at someone is the third grandson.

However, Schmidt insisted on coming to the door because he was based on the interests of Google and felt that he should at least make another effort and try. Even such hard work and trial process may not be so pleasant. It doesn't matter.

Robin can still laugh at this time, but he is actually considering his own interests.

When promoting abroad, they have always packaged themselves as the "Google of China". If Google stands up at this time and expresses doubts about this, it will undoubtedly defeat their wishful thinking.

Therefore, at such a critical time, it would be unwise to have a bad relationship with Google. Some possible consequences ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are too heavy for their IPO.

Secondly, he also wanted to use Schmidt's influence to solve another problem that worries him.

"My opinion is that when we explore this possible premise, it is best to build on Google China's cancellation of targeted promotion."

This is another reason for him to laugh with him.

In order to keep the IPO unaffected, in order to make the pre-sale very successful, in order to make the issuance price higher, no matter how high, and higher, what would this be a laugh?

Besides, the time is still long. In the future, there will be times when you can calmly care about it.

Schmidt also smiled, "Robin, I think, I may only know the real you today,"

On the premise that you can clearly refuse, you still want me to interfere and cancel this promotional event carefully prepared in China. How stupid do you think I must be?

With this punch, I will hit harder.

"In the future, we will have more time and opportunities to get to know each other,"

Schmidt shook his head, "I see, it is enough, there is no need at all,"

"Then, I wish the listing smoothly, goodbye,"

Robin was taken aback. This is what you call hard work and sincerity? Don't you even consider my request?

Seeing that Schmidt walked very resolutely this time, he made some additional explanations, "Schmidt, you have to understand that you have been firmly in control of the enterprise, but I am not. I must pay attention to investors. Opinion, so...,"

Even if Schmidt's hand cannot be used to interfere with Google's promotion in China, in any case, it is a major prerequisite not to engage with Google at this time.

Schmidt didn't say a word. After getting in the car, he dialed Zhao Yong's phone as soon as possible, "Zhao, is there anything the headquarters can do for this promotion?"
