Vol 2 Chapter 1082: The painful Google

Chapter One Thousand and Eighty Two

The painful google

On the "google" board of directors, many directors slapped their mothers on the table and criticized Lin Feng as worthless, describing him as the greatest thief of the century.

Larry Page shook his head for a while. Regarding the launch of "Baidu Earth" by "Baidu Portal", Larry Page also doubted whether Lin Feng had already attempted to steal "Google" information. However, when Lin Feng injected capital into "google", "google" had no plans to develop "google". Of course, it is not ruled out that Lin Feng is planning ahead, and then slowly collecting nets for fishing. Of course, the existence of "inner ghosts" in "google" cannot be ruled out.

After all, Lin Feng himself and his representatives have absolutely no access to the core of "google".

"*, Lin Feng should not be allowed to inject capital into ‘google’ at the beginning. I said that this was not good. Sooner or later something would happen if a Chinese person financed ‘google’!” a director said afterwards.

"Yes, the Chinese are extremely cunning and insidious, especially this Lin Feng." Many directors attacked Lin Feng again.

"Okay, okay, everyone, now we are not holding a condemnation meeting against Lin Feng, but how to face this crisis." Larry Page knocked on the table.

What time is it now, these people are still saying useless things, it's a waste of everyone's time. ——Larry Page reluctantly shook his head.

The noise of the crowd stopped abruptly, but in the face of this situation, everyone had no good way. Now the first task of "google" is to go public. Only after going public can there be sufficient funds to develop. You know, all these plans require financial support. This "Google Earth" plan is to launch a satellite first, and then buy a dedicated channel, of course, there are other facilities, all of which require money.

But now "google" does not have so much money to implement this plan. Only by going public can sufficient funds be raised. What's more, now "Google" is not the only opponent of "Baidu Portal", but also "Microsoft" and "Yahoo".

Thinking of these, many directors have a headache. But if you leave it alone, "Baidu Portal" grabs market resources by relying on "Baidu Earth", it will be a big trouble. This will not only make "Google"'s "Google Earth" plan doomed, after all, once "Baidu Earth" has taken over the market, it will be difficult for "Google Earth" to squeeze into this market. Then the previous investment and efforts were all in vain.

Also, once "Baidu Portal" opens the door to the search engine market with "Baidu Earth", that will be the real trouble. According to Larry Page's understanding, more and more users in the market have begun to use the "Baidu" search engine. After all, this "Baidu Earth" is really convenient. Therefore, now "google" must get along with a countermeasure.

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Larry Page asked.

Everyone shook their heads. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, what else can be done.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page looked at each other and nodded.

"We both worked out a plan on how to deal with the'Baidu Earth'." Sergey Brin said.

"First, we must appeal to the Federal Court as soon as possible, accusing the'Baidu Portal' of stealing our secrets; second, we hope to conduct a third round of financing to dilute Lam Fung's shares." -Brin said.

Many directors were stunned when they heard the words.

"Sergey, we will definitely fail in this kind of lawsuit. After all, it was the'Baidu Portal' who launched the'Baidu Earth' first, and we could not prove that Lin Feng stole company secrets." A director said.

auzw.com Larry Page and Serge Brin smiled at each other.

"I naturally know that we will lose the case. But as long as we appeal to the court, all commercial activities of'Baidu Earth' will be temporarily frozen in the United States. Then we will raise funds again, so that we can use this time difference to obtain funds to launch us. "Google Earth" against "Baidu Earth"." Sergey Brin said.

Many directors nodded. Although this method is a bit despicable, it is the most feasible method. After all, ‘google’ has no money now, and there is still some time to go public. Even the third round of financing will take time, but ‘google’ has no time now.

But there is a problem with this, and that is financing! Now that "google" is about to go public, it can be said that everyone in this room will soon become billionaires, then choosing financing at this time will undoubtedly dilute the shares of everyone present, and the loss will be millions or even thousands. Tens of thousands of dollars, this is inevitably a bit too great for everyone.

"Everyone, I also know that once we choose the third round of financing, we will certainly sacrifice the interests of many people, but we must understand that once the'Baidu Portal' rises strongly with the help of'Baidu Earth', then we are afraid that by then The loss is not millions, tens of millions of dollars, it will be hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. This is a serious matter of life and death, and we must treat it with caution!" Serge Brin deliberately exaggerated." The threat of "Baidu Portal" said.

Many directors frowned. Although everyone knows that Serge Brin is a bit alarmist, the rise of "Baidu Portal" in the past two years is obvious to all. Originally, "Baidu Portal" was only a search engine company in mainland China. Although it had a market share of more than 90% in the mainland, there was no such thing as "Baidu Portal" outside of mainland China. There is no market for "Baidu Portal" at all.

However, as Lin Feng became the chairman of "Baidu Portal", as Lin Feng made a series of actions, such as inserting "Baidu Portal" in his virtual life, such as the advertisement in front of his "Tottenham Hotspur Club" In the previous article, the advertisement of "Baidu Portal" was inserted, which made "Baidu Portal" gradually gained a certain degree of popularity in the world, and its international market share was also increasing year by year, although it still steadily ranked below "Google" and "Yahoo." , The difference is far, but it is the third largest search engine company in the world.

Now, "Baidu Portal" has launched a plan like "Baidu Earth". The market is really hot, and its market share is rising steadily, and there is a trend to catch up with "Yahoo". If it is allowed to develop, it will undoubtedly become the true number one enemy of "google". What's more, there is Lin Feng behind it, which is even more troublesome.

Regardless of Lin Feng's various whims and thoughts, and Lin Feng's strong financial resources, it is painful for Lin Feng to own 5% of "google". It really hurts! With the 5% stake in Lin Feng's hands, with the rise of "Baidu Portal" in the global search engine market, it has become more and more painful for "google" to be placed in eggs, and there is a feeling of being caught in the throat.

And everyone is also worried that Lin Feng currently only has 5% of "google" shares. Once "google" is listed, Lin Feng will be able to acquire "google" shares through the stock market. Selling the shares in his hands to Lin Feng, that's good. If you don't "google", it will become Lin Feng's. This is absolutely unacceptable to everyone!

Therefore, it seems necessary to dilute 5% of "google" shares in Lin Feng's hands. However, letting everyone accompany Lin Feng to dilute their shares and lose a huge amount of dollars together is really unpleasant.

You know, just to dilute the 5% of Lin Feng's shares, so that the other 95% of the shares will be diluted, and Zhuo will suffer losses, which is really painful.

"Well, everyone, we need to take a long-term view. We can't just care about our immediate interests. Understand that as long as'google' still dominates the search engine market, then the dollar will continue to fall into your pockets." Larry Page knocked on the table and said.

The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The key was tortured by Lin Feng every day, and he didn't sleep well. It's better to come here for a while.

Many directors thought for a while, looked at each other, and nodded in agreement with helpless expressions.

Financing is financing! As long as "google" can always occupy the dominant position in the search engine market, the loss is nothing at all.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page let out a sigh of relief when everyone agreed. They were afraid that many directors would reject this third financing plan because of their immediate interests. If it really refuses, it will be a real disaster for "google". Fortunately, everyone is still aware of the general situation, understanding what is more important. Otherwise, the two of them really don't know how to persuade these directors.

"Also, should our company's "inner ghost" also be found out!" After agreeing to the third financing plan, a director suddenly said.

After all, if this "inner ghost" is not removed and stays within the company, then even if the stock is diluted, Lin Feng will continue to steal the core secrets of'google', so that financing does not raise financing, and dilution does not dilute Lin Feng's equity. There is no use anymore.

"Everyone, in my opinion, there should be no such "inner ghost". I want to believe that the employees in the company are trustworthy. Of course, for the sake of caution, we can convene a board of directors and veto the status of Lin Feng as a director." Larry -Paige said.

Although Lin Feng owns the equity, as long as the board of directors votes, it is completely possible to veto the status of Lin Feng as a director. In that way, although Lin Feng is a shareholder, he does not have the right to be on the board of directors.
