Back To 1995

   Chapter 873 Face Change

After hanging up the phone, Larry Page showed an excited and unexpected look on his face, and said to Sergey Brin and Khosla in the office, "It's Ma, the chief financial officer of the North American Global Investment Foundation. A call from Cuth, Bruno Song wants to see us!"

   Hearing that Song Yang wanted to see them, Sergey Brin also showed a surprised look. They had been waiting for ICQ's acquisition, but they didn't wait. Instead, they waited for Song Yang's call.

   Now Song Yang is no longer a major shareholder of ICQ, but in the Internet industry, who dares to despise Song Yang? !

Song Yang became the richest man in America by relying on the Internet. As the earliest group of people who provoked the Internet wave, there were people who were known as Internet martial arts leaders before. But there were only Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan and a few others, and the rest had disappeared!

   Really speaking, Song Yang is much louder than ICQ's name. ICQ can have everything it is today, but it was created by Song Yang!

   Hearing that Song Yang wanted to meet the two Googlers, Khosla was also a little surprised. ICQ and Song Yang had two completely different meanings when they saw Google.

   Khosla's emphasis on Google is not that Google can become a giant company in the future, otherwise KPCB venture capital would have already invested money in Google, why push Google into the arms of Excite.

  Excite search company is also invested by KPCB Venture Capital. Khosla wants Excite to acquire Google because he hopes that Excite can use Google's search technology to take it to the next level.

   As for Google becoming a giant, Khosla has never thought about it. After all, there is already a giant company like Yahoo in the search industry. In addition to Yahoo, there are also many search companies such as Excite.

Google does have some technology in the search industry, but... that's all, so what if there is technology, in this world, not all industries have technology that can become a giant company, Google's technology is really good, Searches are accurate and fast, but so what...

At present, search technology is mainly used in portal websites, providing users with news, weather, entertainment, stocks, sports and other content searches. The portal website industry has been occupied by Yahoo, Lycos, MSN, Excite, ICQ, etc. Google, also wants to fight with these giant companies? !

   In addition, there is an unspeakable rule for the current Internet industry, that is "user stickiness".

  The current internet advertising billing model requires users to spend more time browsing webpage advertisements. If a user immediately finds the content they want on the website, they may leave the website, and the website will not be able to earn US dollars.

This has led to some websites, in order to let users stay on the website for a longer period of time, deliberately make the website "stuck" and "slow". Google's search technology is so fast, it is not a good thing for the website. Advertising costs are reduced.

Excite is reluctant to acquire Google. There is indeed a reason for this. Even if Google's search speed is faster, they are not very interested in Google's technology. , Excite, which of the major search companies can't make the search faster? It's really a major search giant. The engineers who raise a lot of money every year are hard to eat, and they can't compare to Google's grass-roots team of engineers? !

  People say that the rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about the world. The search industry is trying to make money and cut leeks. You are the only one who is sober in the world, right? !

In addition to this unspeakable reason, there is another reason why Yahoo and Excite are really reluctant to acquire Google, that is, Larry Page hopes to let Google search instead of Yahoo , Excite and other companies' original search technology, which directly made several acquisitions collapse.

   Before Khosla felt sorry for Google, he didn’t want to see that Google just closed down and found a lot of buyers for it.

   But now, when Khosla heard that Song Yang wanted to meet the two founders of Google, he smelled an unusual smell.

   "Larry, Brin, and KPCB Ventures have always supported Google. If needed, KPCB Ventures can stand with Google and get more benefits for Google!"

  Khosla said to Larry Page and Sergey Brin in advance, telling them that KPCB Ventures would help them bargain with the gold owner, lest they be sold, and also help with the number of money...

Just a phone call changed Khosla's attitude by a hundred and eighty degrees. Now it seems that they both want to invest in Google. Both Larry and Brin have great influence over Song Yang. a new understanding.

  Irene's business card has given Google a little fame, but Song Yang's favor seems to completely change Google's fate!

  Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, and finally nodded to Khosla, agreeing to let Khosla follow and go to see Song Yang together.

   Born at Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are naturally no strangers to Song Yang. Although Song Yang is not from Stanford University, Stanford has various rumors about Song Yang.

Even Larry Page and the others know that many people at Stanford regard Song Yang as a spiritual pillar. They want to be like Song Yang, relying on the Internet to get rich overnight. Song Yang established Double-click Company back then, and made millions of dollars in one step. The matter of the rich club is still widely circulated in Stanford and major universities in America, and it has become the "iron proof" of the Internet's sudden wealth!

  Although Stanford is only twenty miles from San Jose, this is also the first time Larry and Brin have come to Song Yang's villa.

Song Yang's current villa in San Jose is not too conspicuous compared to many mansions, but both Larry Page know Song Yang's super mansion that is under construction, and directly target Bill Gates in the building. Seattle estate.

Even if it hasn't been built, it has been published in various architectural magazines every once in a while. Many media in America have also revealed the unfinished top manor. There are even rumors that Song Yang has already made a move. The manor has purchased sky-high collectibles. It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not, but it is rumored that there are noses and eyes. Every time it is reported, the auction items of the day can often be sold for sky-high prices…

After entering the villa, Marcus was already waiting there. Larry Page and Sergey Brin did not dare to take the person in charge of Song Yang's money bag lightly. In the Internet industry, many figures It is "anonymous", but when it is brought out, they are all big figures in the Internet.

   Especially a character like Marcus, who is in charge of money bags and has a lot of beautiful knives in his hands, a little resource leaking from his fingers is enough for several Internet companies to live comfortably for a long time!

   Over the past few years, Marcus has already understood the group of venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. Although Khosla is not as famous as John Dole, the founder of KPCB, he is not unknown.

   Seeing Khosla coming with Larry and Brin, Marcus gave him one more look, then just nodded to Khosla, and led a group of people into the villa.

When Larry Page and Sergey Brin followed into the hall of the villa, they saw that several characters were already sitting in it. Larry and Brin saw Song Yang in the crowd at a glance, and handed it to them that day. Irene of the business card is actually here today.

  Irene, who was watching a videotape with Song Yang, Gallo, Hailey, and others, nodded to them when she saw Larry Page and the others.

Song Yang also saw a few people coming, and waved to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and asked them to sit down first. After they sat down, Larry and Brin's eyes also turned to the TV. Look at the video tape that is playing.

The videotape went from far to near, and what appeared on the panda LCD TV was a huge plane. Seeing this plane, Larry and Brin had some guesses in their hearts, and then they heard someone sitting in the hall say, "Song. , The main fuselage of this Airbus A319 has been completed, and it is now undergoing interior decoration and test flight. If nothing else, the world's most luxurious private jet, A319, can be parked in your hangar before August this year. !"

   Hearing the plane in the videotape, it is indeed the private jet that has been rumored in the Internet industry for a long time. Larry Page Sergey Brin has long heard the name of this private jet worth 300 million US dollars.

   "John Ray, President of Airbus Sales!" Khosla glanced at the person who was talking and whispered to Larry and Brin.
