No one answered the phone, even if Chen Kangjie wanted to thank Tuo Peixi in person, he naturally couldn't go, only when the time was right, he continued to deal with the strange letters in his hand, someone wrote a song, asked Chen Kangjie to help approve it, some people recommended themselves to say that they were very good at running, and they wanted to worship Chen Kangjie as a teacher, and they would compete in the Olympics with him, and there were beautiful girls to take their own photos, hoping that Chen Kangjie could let her participate in the next movie, the most interesting thing is that there was a child who told Chen Kangjie a dream and asked him to help interpret the dream, Chen Kangjie shook his head and sighed, this is all about treating himself as Zhou GongChen Kangjie didn't have much interest in these interesting letters, some of which he would approve a few words, and some of them were thrown aside.
Of course, Chen Kangjie will also encounter letters that make him nerve-wracking, for example, a letter from a little American girl made him very nerve-wracking, in which the little girl asked him a serious question, "Is there really a God in the world, why are all the gods in the church men, but you have to say that God is a girl." ”
This kind of question reflects the child's innocence and innocence, but to answer this kind of question well, it is really a test of wisdom, neither can she talk about science in it, nor can it be all superstitious nonsense, otherwise it is misleading, Chen Kangjie thought about it for a long time, before he replied to a large letter to this little girl with crooked handwriting, in the letter, Chen Kangjie is more in telling stories, the focus is that he does not deny the existence of God, nor is he sure that it really exists, a qiē comes from the heart, for the question of why God is said to be a girl, Chen Kangjie replied wittily, "I haven't seen God, I really don't know what he looks like, whether he's male or female, when people think that God is a man, I think if God is really a girl, there doesn't seem to be anything bad, just like in reality our mom, dad can be great, very good, but mom is also very good......"
After processing these letters, Chen Kangjie also had to deal with some official affairs, although his handling of official affairs was indirect, but often the final ruling.
Bob in the United States, for example, reported to him that he intended to buy several American newspapers, such as the Rocky Mountain Post, the Seattle Post and the Philadelphia Daily News in Denver and other paper media, these newspapers are currently beginning to show a bad sign, that is, the advertising business and the number of subscriptions began to decline, and even some have lost money, due to the downturn in the market, so some bosses have the idea of selling it, in response to this juncture, Bob feels that these media should be bought, if the guò conversion business to bring it back to life, it will be profitable, no more, can also grasp a certain right to speak.
To be honest, Bob's idea Chen Kangjie is a little excited, the key is not how much money can be made by the newspaper, the important thing is to have a certain voice in the United States, these newspapers are not big newspapers, and they do not have mainstream authority in the United States, but several newspapers add up, and they will also produce a huge audience, if you invest a lot of money in this, who can say that you will not create another "New York Times" or "Wall Street Journal".
However, the advent of the Internet era has made Chen Kangjie have deep doubts, in the United States, the popularity of the Internet is very fast, under the impact of the destruction of the Internet media, the future paper media will face huge difficulties in survival, this is the general trend, in Chen Kangjie's memory, after two thousand years, there will be several media every year can not survive and go bankrupt.
In the end, Chen Kangjie still took advantage of the trend and vetoed Bob's investment plan, but although Chen Kangjie vetoed Bob's investment plan, he pointed out another path for him, and asked him to go to Stanford University to find two people, Larry Page and Serge Brin, who had just founded a network company called goog1e, Bob's purpose was to buy this company, and at the same time, they also acquired their online cable collection engine technology.
At this time, goog1e only has a few people and a few guns, their office environment in Mountain View City, Santa Clara County is very simple, and there are less than ten employees, and the strength is very weak, in order to acquire this company with great potential but not worth a million dollars, Chen Kangjie's chips are 100 million US dollars and 10% equity, and the reason why they want to give 10% equity is to keep the two in the company, at least they will be of great use for a few years.
Prior to this, Chen Kangjie thought about setting up such an online collection engine company, but he faced two difficulties, first, that is, the domestic network environment is still very weak, second, that he does not have online collection engine technology, and no one in domestic universities has efficient research in this area, and Chen Kangjie himself does not have the expertise of computer skills, which makes him have to temporarily suppress this idea, although he can't, but Chen Kangjie has a shortcut, he has a large amount of cash, relying on this cash can get what he wants。
Like other good entrepreneurs, Larry Page and Serge Brin initially believed in their own online collection engine technology, and they were very optimistic, but they had to admit that they were not sure how far a company based on the collection engine could go.
We must not think that those so-called successful people know how successful they will be from the beginning, it is impossible, there are imaginations, there are extravagant hopes, it is normal logic, but to say who knows before doing something that they will reach an unattainable height, that is really a legend, it is completely self-deception, just like Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising, there is really a son of the Red Emperor in the world, that's not nonsense, it's just that he finally succeeded, and people only relish this purposeful story that has been dealt with, if he fails, it's just a joke。
Chen Kangjie's price of 100 million US dollars and 10% equity made Bob very confused, as if there was a little too much money to spend, but Bob didn't think Chen Kangjie was a stupid person, even if he didn't understand, he believed that there must be some mysteries that he didn't quite understand, but in the specific process of processing, Bob made good use of his mature businessman's methods, he didn't find the two of them and then directly offered a sky-high price, but based on five million US dollars, step by step, he was worried that the price was too high, but it would scare the two young people, or make them feel that their things are strange and livable, which increased the difficulty and uncertainty of the acquisition。
When Larry Page and Serge Brin were found by Bob, they were a little puzzled, their company had only been open for more than a month, and there was no turnover, so someone came to talk about the acquisition, Bob's arrival strengthened the confidence of Larry Page and Serge Brin, just like a commodity in the market, someone asked it means that the product is valuable, if no one cares, it means that the product is meaningless.
Bob's offer of five million dollars and five percent of the equity If Larry Page and Serge Brin are not impressed, it is unlikely, they have not graduated from Stanford University, like Bill Gates, they are taking a break from school to start a business, this is not to say that they start a business for money, but after all, money represents a kind of recognition, a kind of achievement, before this, the two have never seen so much money, their families are middle-class families, but they have nothing to do with the rich.
As young people with ideals, the two resisted the temptation and temporarily rejected Bob, but within a few days, Bob came again, and the price increased to 10 million US dollars.
Bob did not retreat because of their refusal, but they refused again and again, he came again and again, and the price was raised every time, it may be that Bob's disturbance and temptation increased their psychological fluctuations, and the entanglement and resistance in their hearts made them not devote themselves to their work, which also made the newly established goog1e not have much effect, the project was slow, and the market response was unremarkable.
The duo's confidence was hit by the market's slow response, and things didn't go their way, and by this time, Bob had increased the purchase price to $40 million and a 6 percent stake.
After continuous discussion and hesitation, the two who couldn't calm down finally agreed to Bob's acquisition offer, and persuaded them to agree in addition to the adverse reaction of the market and the high price given by Bob, as well as a sentence relayed by Bob according to Chen Kangjie's meaning, " What you really like is your research work, it's like your child, a little reluctant to give up, but even if it's sold, you will still be with it, you are not separated, but a lot of money is coming in to promote it to thrive, speaking of which, you are still the boss of this company, you have equity in your hands, I hope I can solve your worries, so that you can enjoy it, so as to achieve a result that we all want to see......"
Seeing the successful acquisition contract, Chen Kangjie smiled, just this piece of paper, at least tens of billions of dollars, more importantly, this piece of paper determines his right to speak in the online world, you know, most of the news and content in the future are generated by the guò collection engine, who masters this thing, must be able to grasp the pulse of the Internet world, so as to put himself in a more advantageous position.
After the acquisition, Goog1E has not changed, the people are still those people, and the things are still those things, the difference is that the big boss has changed, because of the connection with equity and the love of technology entrepreneurship, Larry Page and Serge Brin, who have become billionaires, have not left the company, and are fighting for their dream of collecting engines every day.
Without Bob's interruption, the two of them were very committed to their work, and Bob allocated 50 million dollars in operating and research expenses, the company's effect was to improve by leaps and bounds, and it soon gained great recognition and was widely accepted by Internet users.
