The first thousand and eighty-two chapters of Google
Chapter 1082 Google is a pain in the ass
On the "Google" board of directors, many directors slapped the table and scolded Lin Feng, criticizing him as worthless and describing him as the biggest thief of this 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, Lin Feng invested in "Google"
At that time, "Google" had no plan to develop "Google". Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Lin Feng planned in advance and then slowly closed the net to catch fish. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is an "inner" inside "Google"
exist.
After all, Lin Feng himself and his representatives have absolutely no access to the core of "Google".
"Fuck, Lin Feng shouldn't have been allowed to invest in 'Google' in the first place. I said it was not good at the beginning. Let a Chinese finance 'Google', something will happen sooner or later!" a director said afterward.
"Yes, Chinese people are extremely cunning and insidious, especially this Lin Feng." Many directors criticized Lin Feng again.
"Okay, okay, everyone, now we are not holding a meeting to denounce Lin Feng, but how to face this crisis." Larry Page knocked on the table,
What time of day is it now, these people are still here saying useless things, it is simply a waste of everyone's time. - Larry Page shook his head helplessly.
The noisy voices of everyone suddenly stopped, but facing the current situation, everyone has no good solution. The first priority of "Google" now is to go public. Only after it goes public will there be sufficient funds for development. You know, all these plans
They all require financial support. The "Google Earth" plan first involves launching a satellite, then purchasing a dedicated channel, and of course 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 it raise enough funds. What's more, now "Google"'s opponents are not only "Baidu Portal", but also "Microsoft" and "Yahoo"
Wait for your opponent.
Thinking of this, many directors have a headache. But if it is left unchecked and "Baidu Portal" seizes market resources with "Baidu Earth", it will be a huge trouble. This will not only put an end to the "Google Earth" plan of "Google"
After all, once "Baidu Earth" takes over the market, it will be difficult for "Google Earth" to squeeze into this market. Then all previous investment and efforts will be in vain.
Also, once "Baidu Portal" leverages "Baidu Earth" to gain access to the search engine market, there will be real trouble. According to Larry Page's understanding, more and more users in the market have begun to use "Baidu Portal"
Baidu" search engine. After all, this "Baidu Earth" is really convenient. Therefore, now "Google" must have a countermeasure.
"Do you have any countermeasures?" Larry Page asked.
Everyone shook their heads. It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so what else can she do?
Serge Brin and Larry Page looked at each other and nodded.
"The two of us worked together to develop a plan on how to deal with Baidu Earth." Sergey Brin said.
"First of all, we want to appeal to the federal court as soon as possible, accusing 'Baidu Portal' of stealing our secrets; secondly, we hope to conduct a third round of financing to dilute Lin Feng's shares." Sergi
-Brin said.
Many directors were stunned when they heard this.
"Serge, we will definitely fail in this kind of lawsuit. After all, it was 'Baidu Portal' that first launched 'Baidu Earth', and we can't prove that Lin Feng stole company secrets," said a director.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other and smiled.
"Of course I know 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. We will then raise funds, so that we can use this time difference to obtain funds to launch our
'Google Earth' versus '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 it will take some time to go public. Even a third round of financing will take time, and now 'google'
there is no time.
But there is a problem, and that is financing! Now that "Google" is about to go public, it can be said that all of you here will soon become billionaires. So choosing to raise funds at this time will undoubtedly dilute the shares of everyone present.
The loss will be millions or even tens of millions of dollars, which is inevitably a bit too much for everyone.
"Everyone, I also know that once we choose the third round of financing, the interests of many people will definitely be sacrificed, but we must understand one thing, that is, once 'Baidu Portal' rises strongly with 'Baidu Earth', then we may
The loss will not be millions or tens of millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. This is a serious issue related to life and death, and we must treat it with caution!" Sergey Brin deliberately exaggerated."
"Baidu Portal" threat.
Many directors frowned. Although everyone knew that Sergey Brin was a bit alarmist, the rise of "Baidu Portal" in the past two years was obvious to all. Originally, "Baidu Portal" was just a search engine company in mainland China. Although in mainland China
It occupies more than 90% of the market share, but outside of mainland China, there is no shadow of "Baidu Portal". There is no market for "Baidu Portal" at all.
However, as Lin Feng became the chairman of "Baidu Portal", with Lin Feng's series of actions, such as inserting "Baidu Portal" into "Virtual Life", such as inserting "Baidu Portal" into the chest of his "Tottenham Hotspur Club"
In the front advertisement, the advertisement of "Baidu Portal" has been inserted, which has gradually made "Baidu Portal" have a certain degree of popularity around the world, and its international market share is also increasing year by year, although it still ranks firmly among "Google", "Yahoo"
Below, there is a huge gap, but it is definitely the third largest search engine company in the world.
Now "Baidu Portal" has launched a plan like "Baidu Earth", and the market response is really hot. Its market share is rising steadily, and it has a tendency to catch up with "Yahoo". If it is allowed to develop, it will undoubtedly become "Yahoo".
"Google" is the real number one rival. What's more, behind him is Lin Feng, who is even more of a headache.
Let’s not talk about Lin Feng’s various whims and whims, not to mention Lin Feng’s strong financial resources, just from the fact that Lin Feng owns 5% of the equity of “Google”, it’s really painful. It’s really painful! These 5% in Lin Feng’s hands
% shares, with the rise of "Baidu Portal" in the global search engine market, it has become more and more painful for "Google", and it feels like it is being stuck in the throat.
Moreover, everyone is worried that Lin Feng currently only has 5% of the shares of "Google". Once "Google" is listed, Lin Feng will be able to acquire "Google" shares through the securities market. If there are other directors who will acquire shares of "Google" for some reason.
Selling the shares in hand to Lin Feng would be great, but if not, "Google" would 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, it is really a bit unpleasant for everyone to accompany Lin Feng to dilute the shares and lose huge US dollars.
You know, just to dilute Lin Feng's 5% shares, let the other 95% shares be diluted, and He Zhuo suffered losses, which is really painful.
"Okay, everyone, we need to take a long-term view. We can't just care about immediate benefits. You must understand that as long as 'Google' still occupies the dominant position in the search engine market, then dollars will continue to roll into your pockets."
Larry Page knocked on the table and said.
As the saying goes, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. The key is tortured by Lin Feng every day so that he can't eat well and sleep well, so it is better to do it once and for all.
Many directors thought about it, looked at each other, and nodded in agreement with helpless expressions.
If you want to raise money, just raise money! As long as "Google" can forever occupy the dominant position in the search engine market, the loss now is nothing.
Sergey Brin and Larry Page took a long breath when they saw that everyone agreed. They were afraid that many directors would reject this third financing plan because of the immediate benefits. If they really refused, that would be "
"Google" is a real disaster. Fortunately, everyone has a general understanding and understands what is more important. Otherwise, the two of them really don't know how to persuade these directors.
"Also, should the 'insiders' in our company be uncovered?" After agreeing to the third financing plan, a director suddenly said.
After all, if this "insider" is not eliminated and remains within the company, then even if Lam Feng's stock is diluted, he will continue to steal the core secrets of 'Google'. In this way, financing will not be raised, and dilution will not dilute Lam Feng's equity.
It's of no use anymore.
"Everyone, in my opinion, there should be no such 'insider'. I want to believe that the employees within the company are trustworthy. Of course, for the sake of caution, we can convene a board of directors and veto Lin Feng's identity as director." Larry
-Page said.
