Vol 6 Chapter 92: convince

Page also took a look at Brin, and it really was!

Brin shrugged quietly, as if to say that their family is like this.

Peppa glanced at the door and leaned forward. "Susan, we and Feng have been in a tacit understanding on many issues for a long time, but some of the issues you mentioned, so far, it’s too late. early,"

What this says is naturally a problem with Google's acquisition of Feng Yiping.

Neither the two of them nor Feng Yiping had a clear discussion on this issue, but they did have some unspeakable tacit understanding with each other. Of course, it is obviously inappropriate to discuss this issue when Facebook has not yet developed to the listing stage.

Unlike them, Feng Yiping doesn't lack development funds in his current view. Facebook's prospects are so bright that he has no need to sell his company.

This is not based on the relationship between them and Google and Feng Yiping. On this point, there is actually a consensus in the United States and even the world economic community.

Therefore, whether it is Facebook or YouTube, no company has proposed an acquisition idea.

Although on the whole, Facebook and YouTube cannot be compared with Microsoft and Google, everyone knows that asking Feng Yiping to buy his Facebook and YouTube is probably equivalent to asking Gates to buy Microsoft and asking him and Brin. It's very funny to propose to buy Google.

Because they are already very rich, and they are not ordinary rich. The wealth they possess can be squandered all their lives.

And their companies have absolute advantages in their respective fields. That is, they are all a hen laying golden eggs. Therefore, they have to think about how abnormal their brains are before agreeing to sell. Own company?

Susan just thought about it and didn't waste time on this issue.

She can completely imagine that who would have the courage and confidence to run to Feng Yiping and say, "I want to buy your company,"

If there is such a person, she will be ridiculed by her, because that person must have an abnormal mind, or he wants to increase his reputation through such things.

Of course, such a person must not even meet Feng Yiping.

"I think, at least Susan, you will understand another thing better. From investing in Google until now, Feng can say that he has been giving priority to the company."

"Do you still remember that you gave up your layout in electronic maps and transferred all the related results to us?"

Susan was silent.

Including Feng Yiping's later support of Google in terms of cloud computing and cloud platforms, she knew very well.

It can be said that Feng Yiping and his company have never taken the initiative to set foot in the business areas that Google has already laid out. On the contrary, Google has followed suit.

Therefore, it is fair to say that whether as a strategic director or a major shareholder, Feng Yiping is very competent.

"Although we are talking about this issue for the first time, I think that everyone’s concerns about Facebook should mainly come from their growing number of users, and they have more user information than us, so everyone feels In the future, the accuracy of their advertising will be higher than ours?" Page asked.

"Because from the current data, it is obvious that our biggest competitors are mainly Yahoo and Microsoft."

Indeed, Facebook has just launched its own business plan soon, and their advertising platform has also been launched soon. The current online advertising revenue can be said to be a far cry from the number one big brother Google, but Yahoo and Yahoo! Microsoft currently occupies a large share.

Especially Yahoo, they used to sit, but Google's current position.

From this perspective, the competition between Facebook and Google certainly exists, but it is certainly not as urgent as Yahoo and Microsoft.

Susan and her team are a little bit anxious about this because they are worried about future trends.

Because they all know that in the advertising industry, the most important point is accurate delivery.

The iron law of the advertising industry is a platform for precise placement, eliminating the platform for extensive placement.

How to achieve accurate delivery? The point is to know enough user characteristics, such as age, gender, hobbies, and so on.

The reason why Google replaced Yahoo and became the king of online advertising is because portals like Yahoo do not know who the users who browse their news and what characteristics they have.

At this point, search engines will obviously have more advantages, because users have actually shown their preferences when searching.

Google’s advertising system can display relevant ads to users on the search page based on keywords entered by users.

And social networking sites like Facebook, because they have more user information directly, will obviously be better at this point than Google’s search engine relationship chain.

Susan nodded, "I admit that my colleagues and my worries are indeed partly based on future development."

"Because we have the confidence to defeat Yahoo, and we are confident that we are not afraid of Microsoft's challenges, but because of Facebook's inherent advantages in precise advertising, in the future, it will definitely be our strongest competitor."

"We appreciate the vision of you and the team," Page said.

In fact, he and Brin can understand that Susan and her team, as well as some people at Google, are currently opposing Feng Yiping and his company, rather than Yahoo or Microsoft, for other reasons for greater opinions.

Compared with those two opponents, Feng Yiping is a proper person, and in many cases, it is obviously from his own competition, which makes people feel more uncomfortable.

This is like having some feeling of betrayal.

"Regarding competition in the advertising field, we can also look at this issue from another angle," Page stood up and walked to the clipboard on the wall.

"From the data of ourselves and the industry," he wrote two words on the clipboard, "photos and games accounted for the vast majority of page views."

"So what are the effective ways to increase our ad share? Naturally, to increase our traffic in these two areas,"

He glanced at Brin now.

Brin immediately went on to say, "Susan, do you know who made this view?"

Since your question is so obvious, it is probably Feng Yiping, "Feng?"

"Yes, it is Feng, so at his suggestion, we are preparing to develop a new product, that is, Google Images,"

"We believe this will be one of our most amazing products,"

Susan suddenly understood that the three of them must have a high degree of tacit agreement on the competition and future development of the two companies.

This fact naturally confirms Feng Yiping's competence for Google.

"I think I understand," she murmured.

She felt more and more that what Feng Yiping did was really impeccable.

"Of course, we also think that Facebook does have some competition with us," Page sat back again. "There is a set of data that you may not pay attention to. Recently, our employee turnover rate has been on the rise."

"Could it be that many of these people went to Facebook?" Susan asked immediately.

Recently, she has been busy acquiring DoubleClick and having a baby. Indeed, she doesn't pay much attention to matters outside of her business.

"Yes," Page was somewhat helpless. "You have to pay attention. Although your team currently joins Facebook, only Sandberg is alone. It was still poached by Feng with our consent."

"But we can be sure that in the future, there will be other members who will choose to join Facebook,"

"So we are also paying attention to a question recently, why do so many people find Facebook more attractive than us,"

"Is there such a possibility," Susan thought for a while. "Some of our colleagues who are not under financial pressure will now choose to work for their own interests instead of income?"

Since Google’s listing, as the stock price has risen firmly, more and more Googlers have not realized the financial freedom in the usual sense, but they do have the conditions to no longer endure the pressure of work and have the conditions for themselves The confidence of the interest work.

So, sometimes, employees have too much money, which is not all good.

Susan is Google’s 16th employee. After removing the 1st Page and the 2nd Brin, of the 13 other employees who joined Google before her, one-third of them have already chosen to leave.

And these people's whereabouts are also very concentrated. They all chose to become investors, and two of them are also starting their own businesses while becoming investors.

But their entrepreneurial confidence is obviously stronger, because even if the entrepreneurship fails, they can easily afford such losses.

"There should be such a possibility," Page nodded, "So let us analyze a question, why are so many of our employees more interested in Facebook, or why they feel that working at Facebook is more interesting?"

"Is it our working atmosphere, our team building, or our personal development prospects, not as good as Facebook?"

"So from this point of view, such competition obviously promotes us to make many useful improvements,"

"I was thinking about a question recently. Is it true that the more successful we are, the more and more Yahoo and Microsoft's habits will become tainted?"

"And Facebook now is like us a few years ago?"

But this is another problem.

Page was caught in new thinking, Brin said, "But we can be sure of one thing. In the future, no matter how many people or core people are in your team, choose to join Facebook. I think we don’t have to worry. , Facebook will copy our AdSense,"

This is certain.

Susan believes that even those employees who now have some views on Feng Yiping will not have such concerns.

They fully believe that Facebook under Feng Yiping will not do such a thing.

"Right," Peppa stood up and sat back on his computer, "You can actually communicate with Feng directly on this question."

"I think he will be happy to share some of his views with you,"

"Okay," Susan knew, which meant to end the conversation.

It's just that you all asked me to talk to him about such issues, and you also said that there is no tacit understanding and consensus between you and him on some key issues?

"When will Feng arrive?" Susan asked Brin.

"Two days before the wedding," Brin said.

Feng Yiping will naturally not be absent when he gets married.

Relative to Google’s calmness and self-confidence, Blackstone on Wall Street in New York has been quite tense in the past two days.

This is undoubtedly a very successful financial company.

Let’s put it this way, in the past year, Blackstone made more than $2.2 billion in profits ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ created a per capita profit of $2.95 million, which is 8 times the per capita profit of another Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs.

For this reason, the founder and spiritual leader of Blackstone, Steve Schwarzman-he has another name we are more familiar with, Mr. Schwarzman, at this time has been hailed as the king of Wall Street.

However, the king of kings was quite upset at this time, and it could even be said that he was very angry.

Since entering the new century, China has always been the focus of their investment. For this, they have done a lot of preparations, including a comprehensive analysis of China's characteristics.

As a result, they chose a very capable person in charge for their Greater China headquarters.

The person in charge is the person in charge of the financial department of the former government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

It is precisely under his efforts that Blackstone has just entered China and is about to win a US$3 billion investment.

China's newly established Hui Investment Company will spend US$3 billion to purchase nearly 10% of their shares before Blackstone's IPO.

This can be said to be quite exciting news.

However, now the transaction, which was close to signing, suddenly turned yellow.

This made Schwarzman very angry.

In fact, the focus of this transaction is not the $3 billion. He is convinced that no one will subscribe for his company's stock.

What he cares most about is the convenience of cooperating with companies like Huitou at the capital level, which will bring him investment in mainland China.

But now, this wishful thinking has obviously failed.

Who is it that messed up this deal? This is what he most wants to know at this time when he is angry.

And the person he wanted to know was about to leave for the United States.
