Vol 6 Chapter 91: direct

Google, the brightly dressed Mayer, was walking out in a hurry, but stopped when he saw a person.

"Susan," she called to a middle-aged lady who was wearing a black shirt, short brown hair just reaching her shoulders and wearing hexagonal metal earrings. She looked very capable and heroic.

"Congratulations,"

"Thank you," Susan, who was stopped by her, hurriedly pulled her hand and pointed at Peppa's office, "Sorry, I made an appointment with him."

"Oh," Meyer nodded, "Is the little one okay?"

Susan smiled, "It's fine, just finished breastfeeding,"

Susan, who was still in her breast milk, pulled her shirt and said, "Let me see, don't you?"

Because she is worried about milk stains, she has been wearing dark clothes recently.

Meyer looked at her chest, "No,"

"Thank you, let me tell you that this time is really embarrassing. When we are done, we will find time to gather, find a place, and have a good drink, okay?"

Meyer nodded, "Okay,"

"Then me," Susan pointed to Page's office, and walked away with a smile.

"See you later," Mayer waved to her.

However, as he walked outwards, he couldn't help but glance back.

No matter from the perspective of a man or a woman, standing with Susan, Meyer seemed to crush her in all directions.

But in the eyes of Googlers, it's not necessarily true.

For Googlers, if Meyer is the face of Google, then Susan Wojcicki, who is not well-known to the outside world, is Google’s **** of wealth.

She is in charge of Google's advertising business-Feng Yiping dug into Facebook's Sandberg's immediate boss, she organized the research and development of Google's most important adsense, currently, more than 90% of Google's revenue comes from her team.

Therefore, in many minds, Susan is more important to Google than Meyer.

Susan also shoulders another important responsibility, that is, mergers and acquisitions.

Just last month, she made a proud offer of $3.1 billion to finalize the acquisition of the well-known online advertising service provider doubleclick.

Around this company, two other well-known American companies, Microsoft and Yahoo, are equally interested.

Because doubleclick is included in the bag, it will help increase their market share in the field of online advertising.

But when Microsoft's highest offer was $2 billion, Susan decisively deterred the two opponents, especially Yahoo, with $3.1 billion that exceeded Microsoft's offer by 50%.

Now it seems that the seat under the **** seems to be an unstable Yahoo president, Terry Semel, after many bouncing votes, finally in early February, he launched a new advertising system that he had high hopes for, Panama" (pana-ma ).

The introduction of this important advertising system has effectively increased the click-through rate of Yahoo's ads.

As a result, many investors on Wall Street are regaining their confidence in Yahoo. The intuitive consequence is that since January this year, Yahoo’s stock price has risen by a quarter, and correspondingly, although Google is still rising , But only rose by 10%.

In the past few years, this has not been the case.

In the past few years, the stock prices of Yahoo and Google have shown a conflicting situation, that is, the stock price of Google has been rising, while Yahoo has been falling.

Some institutions in the market have responded accordingly to this situation. For example, analysts at UBS have lowered Google's stock from "purchase" to "neutral". Investors are advised to wait and see for a while. .

This is Google, which has been accustomed to being a darling for many years, and Google, which has unclear love-hate entanglements with Yahoo, and is the least willing to see it.

That's why Susan's heroic act this time.

Google's online advertising is again search advertising, while Yahoo's advantage in online advertising is brand advertising.

The growth rate of search advertising this year far exceeds that of brand advertising, and many analyses show that in the future, the growth rate of brand advertising will exceed that of search advertising.

The advantage of doubleclick is brand advertising.

So this is an acquisition that Google made a lot of money to make up for its shortcomings.

And putting such a merger and acquisition to Susan is responsible, which shows Google's recognition of Susan.

This made Meyer a bit sore, she failed to take charge of the acquisition.

To add, Susan joined Google earlier than Mayer. She is the 16th employee of Google and Mayer is the 21st.

Susan's relationship with Page and Brin is also very unusual.

At the beginning, two hairy lads were sent to the door to make Yahoo's acquisition impossible, so when they decided to do it themselves, they chose to start their journey in Susan's garage.

That is, Susan was the first landlord of Google Inc., collecting rent of $1,700 per month.

After working as a landlord for nearly a year, she quit her job in Intel’s marketing department and joined Google.

Therefore, some people call her "the mother of Google."

When she joined Google, she was pregnant with her first child, so she became the first employee of Google to have a child, so she designed Google's daycare center.

After giving birth to the second child and returning from maternity leave, he organized and developed adsense, which is vital to Google.

Last month, when the doubleclick deal was finalized, she gave birth to her fourth child.

When getting in the car, Meyer thought about Susan's little belly, which can't be concealed now, and looked at her flat abdomen. He didn't know what was going on, and he was a little envious for no reason.

When she was awakened by the sound of the whistle next to her, she felt that I must be crazy, how could I envy that ugly little belly.

She turned the rear-view mirror and looked at the face in the mirror. It was very good. It was just when the greenness faded away, and when it was most brilliant, she just glanced at it and looked impeccably beautiful.

However, she looked at her lower abdomen again.

Susan already has 4 children. Perhaps, it's time to consider this question herself?

…………

In Page's office, Brin was also there. Seeing Susan coming in, he quickly got up and let go of the sofa he was sitting on.

"Susan," Page still tapped a few times on the keyboard, "how are the kids preparing?"

"No problem," Susan smiled and glanced at Brin.

Next weekend, her sister, Anne Wojcicki, will marry Brin, and yes, Brin’s girlfriend Anne is Susan’s sister.

Several of her children will also play an important role in the wedding that is not open to the public.

"Did sec approve our purchase of doubleclick?" Page finally put down the keyboard and sat down.

Although the two of them have reached an agreement, because the acquired doubleclick is a listed company, it also needs the approval of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

"No," Susan shook her head, "but based on what we know, this should be fast too,"

"What I want to talk to you today is another question,"

"A problem with advertising?" Brin glanced at Page.

Susan is responsible for the advertising business in addition to mergers and acquisitions. Since it is not a merger and acquisition issue, it is naturally an advertising issue.

And Brin and Page, probably guessed what Susan would say at this time.

"Yes," Susan leaned forward and crossed her hands and five fingers together, very solemnly. "With Sandberg's joining, Facebook's online advertising has developed very rapidly. At present, it has become more important to us. More and more competition,"

"I know that Feng is critical to the company's development. It can be said that he used to be a very competent strategic director."

"But now, whether he is a strategic director or the third-largest individual shareholder, whether he is competent or not, many colleagues have already had some discussions."

"Not only Facebook, we are competing with Feng's company more and more, for example in the field of online video,"

This area is also Susan's responsibility (in the original time and space, she also presided over the acquisition of youtube and later became the person in charge of youtube), but compared with youtube, this one can be said to be very unsuccessful .

"Similarly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Our development in the social field also conflicts with his company,"

"When I say this, I am not accusing Feng of providing the ideas of Facebook and YouTube to the company, because we all know that Feng should have arranged for these two products before joining Google."

"It's just that the current conflicts in various aspects are getting more and more intense, especially when the conflict in the online advertising field is getting more and more intense. Some colleagues in my team have more and more opinions."

"Frankly, I sometimes don't know how to explain this to them,"

Page looked out the window thoughtfully.

Susan said that, it shows that she personally, in fact, has some views on this aspect.

"Susan, I understand your concerns," he said.

"I came today to ask a question," Susan looked at them seriously, "I always feel that you and Feng, on many issues, seem to have reached a tacit understanding, then, is it possible for us in the future? Merge Feng's company?"
