The next day.
Zucker came to Google.
Today, it is undoubtedly a milestone for Google, which has been established for only one year.
Today, Google will officially sign a cooperation agreement with Yahoo, the giant Internet portal.
Zucker, looking at the crowded press conference, was also excited and said to Alexander, "Alexander, do you know what today means?"
"The cooperation between Google and Yahoo means that the development of Google will enter the fast lane." Alexander responded.
"Not only that!"
Zhuke solemnly said: "Yahoo chose Google as the default search results provider. Since then, Google has developed into the world's largest Internet search engine. This day will not be far away! "
Hearing this, Alexander was shocked.
The world's largest Internet search engine?!
With this name alone, Google in the future will be a company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars.
Of course, the vast majority of people at the scene did not believe it.
"Go ahead and cheat the ghost."
A middle-aged man nearby said with a low voice: "how about ten billion companies? Now who doesn't know that Internet stocks are junk stocks, and the Internet downturn is the general trend. "
A photographer echoed: "even if it is possible to achieve this day, the technology changes with each passing day, and no one can guarantee that Google's search technology will always occupy a leading position."
The voice was small, but Zucker heard it for real.
Want to refute?
No need at all!
If everyone can have excellent vision, then Zhuke is a fool!
Looking at the current market environment, the number of search engine companies in the United States is not small.
But!
Why did Yahoo choose Google's search engine?
Google search engine, its technical content, is currently the most advanced! In addition, in addition to the user coverage is not as good as other companies, its technical level is definitely several steps ahead of the same industry; At the same time, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google have made clear improvements in their plans for technology upgrading.
"We're ahead of technology!" Larry Page.
"Compared with the development level of follow-up technology, we are not afraid of anyone." Sergey Brin.
In this Internet bubble, Yahoo Corp is deeply affected.
With a market value of more than $45 billion, it has lost more than half of its market value in just one month.
Yahoo is in a hurry!
Yahoo executives and shareholders, eager to save the decline, when Google's chairman and chief technology development officer Larry Page, personally came to seek cooperation.
It has to be said that while Larry Page is a technology development officer, he is also a businessman with a lot of money. In only five hours, he convinced nearly 80% of the top management and shareholders of Yahoo to reach a cooperation agreement.
In fact, Yahoo wanted to buy Google in the first place.
How can YAHOO be deeply trapped in the Internet bubble?
The press conference begins!
In the witness of many media, David ferreo, one of the founders of Yahoo, signed the contract on behalf of Yahoo; Larry Page of Google, who followed, also signed his name.
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
The next time, of course, is the interview time.
David Farrow and Larry Page have become the focus of the day; As the "little king of venture capital" in the new era, Zhuke is also the target of media reporters.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wald, on your successful investment in another Internet company." Female reporter Harsha congratulated.
"Thank you Zucker responded.
Harsha, a female reporter, asked: "it is said that in July 1999, you took 30% of the shares of Google with an angel investment of 1 million US dollars. Now less than a year has passed, your investment has increased many times, with a full value of 30 million US dollars. How did you discover the potential of Google in the first place? "
How did you find out?
tell the truth?
NOï¼
This is bullshit time!
"The first thing you need to know is that I'm a Stanford student. Stanford University and the University of Michigan are brother schools. When I learned from my tutor about the entrepreneurial deeds of Larry and Sergey, I was very sure of their courage. So, I had an idea at that time. I wanted to see them and choose to help these young people with dreams. You all know the next investment. " Said Zucker.
Harsha, a female journalist, was speechless.
Other reporters at the scene said, "...."
At the moment, they feel that Zhuke is really shameless.
As journalists, they naturally know a lot about Zhuke's resume.
"He is a high school graduate. How did he get into Stanford University later? Didn't he count in his heart?" A reporter whispered.
"Yes. If he hadn't donated $5 million to Stanford University, would Stanford University have accepted him? You're kidding A photographer turned his mouth.
"I can't say that completely."
"California entertainment" reporter, retorted in a low voice: "Mr. Wald's admission qualification is bought, this is not wrong, but Mr. Wald's desire for knowledge, we have no right to refute, or even choose to support."
Thirst for knowledge?
Go to hell!
The reporters around him couldn't help swearing: "California entertainment is sure to be a tough dog of Zucker Wald. What a shame!"
No matter what they say or think, they are still very envious of Zhuke;
After all, Zhuke made a fortune investing in Google.
Similarly, although Zhuke paid for the admission qualification of Stanford University, it was not anyone who donated money to Stanford University that would be accepted by others? The reason why Stanford University recognized Zhuke as qualified for admission is that Zhuke has achieved great and unprecedented success in society.
What's more, Zhuke did learn a lot when he studied management at Stanford University.
.......
Google's development has entered a fast lane, even when it has attracted a lot of venture capital companies.
Among them is a very well-known venture capital organization, and the boss of the company is named: John dur.
John duel, known as one of the "four kings of venture capital", was the sales director of Intel at first, and then successively invested in hundreds of Internet companies, such as Netscape, Compaq, Amazon, Netscape, intuit, lotus, Symantec, etc.
Among them, as many as 167 Internet companies he has invested in have successfully listed on US stocks.
In the original space-time, he invested in Google for $12.44 million. This investment makes him more than 300 times in the future.
The name of the four day king of venture capital is not a false name!
Excited, Larry Page said, "I think John Doel's investment is completely acceptable. He has a huge network and contacts in the Internet field."
Sergei brin disagreed.
"You're in a hurry, man!"
Sergey Brin retorted: "our priority now is to seamlessly connect to the search engine of Yahoo's portal and expand our strength, rather than accept foreign investment."
"This..." said Larry Page.
Zucker was on Sergey Brin's side: "the company is not short of money now. Of course, even if it is short of money, there is me. I can even make zero interest loans to the company. Let alone 100 million dollars, that is 200 million dollars, 300 million dollars, I have no problem at all
John Doyle, you die first!
Zucker does not exclude John Doyle from joining Google. After all, his strength in the Internet field can really help the company. However, Zucker does not want him to share this share too early.
.......
At the same time.
Wells Fargo.
"What?"
"Chuck Wald, the boss of Standard Bank of California, has explicitly rejected our acquisition? And you want to take a stake in Wells Fargo? "
At the moment, a group of senior executives of Wells Fargo Bank are in a very bad mood. They are simply barking.
Even if the acquisition is not successful, others still want to take a stake in them, which can be imagined.
"The first watch" is presented.
