"Well," Mayer groaned, "There may be a way for Schmidt to change his recruitment conditions. Don't hire people with a pure business background, but those who also study computers but are interested in business. To do sales,"

Feng Yiping suddenly became enlightened, yes, isn't it the best of both worlds to do so?

"Thank you, I have to do their work right away, good night!"

"Wait," Meyer looked at the time. "What good night is this time? Good morning, okay, I disturb a young lady's sleep in the middle of the night, you say, how do you compensate me?"

"I'll mention it next time you meet," Feng Yiping wanted to hang up again.

"Wait, we are all worried about you, you must pay attention to safety over there,"

"Thank you, bye!"

Feng Yiping didn't want to make fun of her either, who included that "we", hung up the phone in a hurry, he thought for a while, organized the language, and then called Peppa. He, like Jobs, is not one who can listen easily. People with opinions.

Peppa did not sleep, "Feng,"

"Paige, don't worry, at any time, I will definitely support your choice. As long as it is a matter of going to the board of directors, I will stand on your side unconditionally."

"Thank you, I know our goals are the same," Peppa was very happy, but also a little tired, "I wish I could meet you sooner, for example, in 1999."

In 1999, you would definitely look down on me.

At that time, I would be able to take out 25 million US dollars, but I can’t provide other support provided by Sequoia and kpcb.

"There is an opinion that you may not agree with, but I think that Schmidt and our goals are also the same, Page, sometimes we should also consider him. After all, he has to directly accept the two venture capital pressure,"

Page did not speak.

As proud as he is, how can you accept what Schmidt did?

However, as a CEO, of course he will control the financial power of the company, which has restricted Schmidt's many powers as a CEO. Even he felt a little unreasonable.

Is it possible to set up a budget and appropriation committee? Page seriously thought, at least to limit his power in this regard.

"Page. We have nearly 2,000 employees. When it was not a few hundred before, think about it. If Schmidt hadn't undertaken the daily routine work, as well as a lot of external contact and communication work, you and Brin Can you focus on your work like this?"

Page admits this. Now that several products are being developed at the same time, if he concurrently serves as the CEO, there is definitely not much time left to develop the product. "If you change a CEO, you can still do these things."

It seems that yesterday’s incident. He really had a big opinion of Schmidt.

"Are you sure that the next CEO will not have friction with us? After nearly a year of running in with Schmidt, at least in many aspects there has been a tacit understanding. Do you want to repeat this process again? "

Page did not speak again.

"To be fair, we should recognize Schmidt's ability to work. And as a founder, we should unite all the forces that can be united to serve the company. Why can't we let go of the previous barriers? Let us talk frankly and honestly. ?"

"From Schmidt's personal point of view, he definitely hopes the company will succeed. After all, the two companies he was responsible for before. It is not accurate to say that it failed. At least, during his tenure, he did not successfully reverse the situation. We Google, It may be the last chance to create a brilliant career for him, what do you think?"

"The conflict with him is definitely better to resolve than the conflict with those two venture capitalists, right?"

Although Michael Moritz and John Dole are the most well-known venture capital masters in Silicon Valley, they are also willing to play the role of God’s hand in investing in startups. They are not only fund providers, but also often serve as designers, consultants, and strategists. , Even the identity of the executor, participate in the invested company.

It can also be said that they are the "coachs" of the entrepreneurial team, not only deciding the playing time and candidates, but also providing reliable and powerful logistical support for everyone, reducing the possibility of entrepreneurs making detours.

However, no matter how much work they do, venture capitalists and founders will always have a huge, irreparable difference.

Venture capital is essentially a business of making money. It is most concerned about the safety and return of your own funds, and naturally hopes to make a profit as soon as possible and withdraw safely.

It is not that in venture capital, there is no such thing as Buffett who advocates long-term investment, but such people, or such projects, are definitely rare.

Many entrepreneurs, at the beginning, are not really for money, but more for their own feelings, ideals, or dreams. Therefore, they care more about their products and treat their products as their own sons.

Venture capital is different. He generally treats the entrepreneur's company or product as a girl to be married. As long as the return is reasonable, it is also very good to send it out as a child bride.

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with venture capital doing this. For company founders, such as Page and Brin, Google is their only child and hope, but for Sequoia and kpcb, the company they invest in is too Many of them are engaged in similar businesses to Google, not one or two. There is no reason to just hold your company in the palm of your hand.

"In short, I feel that there is no essential conflict between us and Schmidt. His presence also helped us withstand the pressure of the two venture capitalists."

"At the same time, he strengthened sales, of course, to make his performance look better and let him add points in front of Moretz and Dole, but is it not good for the company?

You should have seen his results. Compared with the same period last year, the revenue in the first quarter was 230% of last year. The most important thing is that he did these things without interfering with your products. Development, right? "

This is the last word.

"I admit, he did some work." Page finally affirmed Schmidt easily. "It's just that, as you know, I think Google should be a technology-driven company, not a sales-driven company. For a type of enterprise, our core strength should be continuous development and improvement of products. It should be an engineer, not a person who only knows how to talk."

"Of course we agree with this, but it is undeniable that sales are also very important, right? Even if you are still the CEO, it is impossible for the company to have only product engineers and no sales team, right?

"I'm not opposed to setting up a sales team, I just think the people he recruited are not the best candidates,"

It seems unrealistic to change Page’s resentment towards business students. "What do you think is this? In the future, our sales team will also require an engineer background?"

"That's not bad. We don't want to face a bunch of idiots who don't even know the company's products," Page's voice was obviously excited.

It seems that Mayer's idea really meets his heart.

"Then I will pass your opinion to Schmidt?"

"Ok,"

"Is there no need to hold a board of directors?"

"Look, you have resolved the issues to be discussed on the board this time,"

That's good! Feng Yiping only wants to hold Google's shares, and easily divide a lot of money in the future, but he does not want to have all kinds of branches.

"Page, my opinion, please also think about it. If you think Schmidt is an object of cooperation and cooperation, it is better to accept him completely and let him become a member of our big family.

At the same time, I also ask you and Brin to think about it, clearly confirm the division of labor between you, and ensure that such things will not happen again."

"Okay, I will seriously consider your opinion,"

It is naturally easier to persuade Schmidt. Who will let him have a small say in the company?

As a result, by the next morning, Moritz and Dole, who were closely following Google’s movements, both got the news that Google’s yesterday's conflict had disappeared.

At noon, when talking to Dole on the phone, Moritz sighed, "It seems that our young man has become more and more mature."

"Michael, don't be pretentious," Dole said unceremoniously. "I regret that I missed you. I didn't seize such a good opportunity. Don't think I don't know. You invested in Google back then, mainly for protection. Yahoo's flank,"

These words went straight to the facts, and Moritz could not object to it.

Yahoo back then was in full swing, and already had a very successful business model, and Google, most people, including him, didn't think it could make a profit from advertising, just.

Yahoo also had a search business back then. The investment in Google in 1999 was really just to protect his important asset, Yahoo's flank security.

This is the difference between a venture capitalist and a general venture capitalist. The master will organically integrate the companies he invests in, while the general venture capitalist does not have such an opportunity or ability.

It's a pity that he took a rare look. Google, a rising star, relies on advertising to get better and better results.

And Yahoo, after its glory, has not only weakened its rise, but also has a downward trend. The large investments and mergers and acquisitions that failed in the previous two years have also weakened the heritage of this once empire.

It is not unreasonable that Google will surpass Yahoo in the future.

…………

At this time, Feng Yiping is already considering other Google issues.

The current Google is also considered his important asset. If the original trajectory is followed, the value of his shares in Google ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ after listing next year should be higher than the market value of Yijia.

At the beginning, it was invested in the name of an institution, and the 5% that was set to be reduced when it went public, after cashing out, it just happened to come in handy.

He now believes that in addition to the conflict between the founder and the CEO, Google needs to improve in other aspects.

For example, the kind of ruthless Google internally called discussion. To be honest, it is an atmosphere that is indistinguishable from quarrels. In the early days of entrepreneurship, when everyone was familiar with it, it was pretty good. After a big debate, Get the best results, and everyone will not turn your face.

However, now that the expansion is so fast, if you still adhere to the previous style and the relationship between the executives will never be harmonious, then it is estimated that the collaboration between the various departments will naturally be out of the question.

This situation also urgently needs to be corrected. (To be continued.)
