Chapter 333: First meeting with Google

A man walked in, looked at Tan Zhi who was in charge of the bidding on the stage and shouted loudly.

"One hundred thousand!" The man's two words shocked the entire audience.

Many reporters took a sharp breath and looked back to see who was so wealthy that he could ask for one hundred thousand.

It’s him!——Many reporters were shocked. They didn’t expect this man to come, and they started muttering in their hearts at the same time, why is he here?

Lin Feng was stunned when he saw the person coming. This person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Many viewers in front of the TV were also confused as to who the visitor was. However, judging from his aura, he was definitely ordinary. No matter who he was, for all the viewers, shouting out one hundred thousand was already very exciting.

Lin Feng didn't know him, and the audience didn't know him, but the bosses of the TV stations did, and their faces darkened on the spot. Many reporters just wondered why this man was here, but these bosses knew what he was here for.

Damn it! Is he already preparing to compete with us for the market? - All the traditional media bosses murmured in their hearts.

When Jobs saw this person, he was slightly startled, but he knew that it was even more lively now. His joining would make the sales battle between Blaney and Avril reach a fever pitch.

Under the attention of everyone at the scene, the visitor came over, looked at Lin Feng, and introduced himself.

"I think this is Mr. Lin. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Larry Page. I am the current product president of Google. This is our CEO Emmett Schmidt."

After introducing himself and the man next to him, Lin Feng was shocked, it was him.

Larry Page, one of the founders of Google, created the Google myth and became the latest idol on Wall Street.

The audience in front of the TV buzzed slightly. Although most ordinary people are still unfamiliar with Larry Page, the name Google is well known. Google has now become a necessity in the lives of most Americans. However, they are more curious in their hearts. I don’t know.

Why is Google bidding for Avril Lavigne’s first album and exclusive interview rights?

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Page, and Mr. Schmidt." Lin Feng came over and shook hands with Larry Page and Emmett Schmidt. At the same time, his mind turned away.

.Google is a super potential stock in the future. Lin Feng has never had the opportunity to get to know Google's management before, but today is an opportunity.

"Everyone, is anyone raising the price?" Tan Zhi was also secretly surprised by Larry Page's arrival, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood Larry Page's purpose.

Many reporters looked at each other, and the bosses on the phone threatened to give up. It was not that these bosses couldn't afford the $100,000, they just felt it was too much of a loss.

Damn Google, damn Internet upstarts.—Many bosses angrily gave up the bidding.

Larry Page smiled slightly. This bidding was also the idea of ​​the newly hired CEO Emmett Schmidt. Emmett Schmidt believed that although Google is now the dominant player in the global search engine market,

It has become a necessity in people's daily life, but most Americans still like to obtain information through newspapers and magazines.

The future must belong to the Internet age, but people's habits are difficult to change for a while. Emmett Schmidt wants to change the way people read in advance by bidding for Avril's first album and exclusive interview rights.

Habit.

Currently, all newspapers and magazines in the United States have no evaluation or information about Avril's music. If Google can get it, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of a large number of American people. I have no choice but to log in to Google to read the information. This is very important to Google.

It is extremely beneficial both in terms of fame and finance.

As for the astonishing price of US$100,000 to win the bid this time, it was also to have a shocking effect. So far, it seems that the effect is obviously good.

In a national live broadcast, one hundred thousand dollars can make Google famous, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.

Many reporters left in frustration. The audience in front of the TV also turned off the TV in amazement. It is amazing that a newcomer can sell his first album and exclusive interview rights for 100,000 US dollars. However, many American people began to look forward to Google tomorrow.

What kind of comments will there be on the Internet? Everyone has learned about Avril's singing, but just listening to it once is not enough. What's more, American audiences also want to see what critics say about Avril and Britney.

Later, Lin Feng handed over Avril's first record to Larry Page, and at the same time received a check of US$100,000 from Larry Page, and announced the establishment of the "Avril Charitable Fund" at the same time.

Lin Feng was originally going to ask Google to make an appointment with Avril tomorrow for an exclusive interview. Unexpectedly, Emmett Schmidt asked for an exclusive interview with Avril immediately, and had already brought accompanying reporters, and also ordered people to immediately interview Avril.

This Avril album was brought back and given to the best music critics in the United States hired to listen to it and write relevant comments.

In this regard, Lin Feng can only lament Google's efficiency and ability to seize opportunities.

Now everyone thinks that Google will come up with a conclusion tomorrow morning, but the conclusion will be available tonight. It will undoubtedly prove to the American people the convenience of the Internet, and Google's information is ahead of traditional media such as newspapers and magazines.

This is a battle between Google online media and traditional media. There is no doubt that Google will win tonight.

Although this was just a small wave, the butterfly effect it brought was unexpected by Lin Feng.

"Mr. Page, Mr. Schmidt, would it be an honor to treat you to a cup of coffee?" Lin Feng invited.

"It's my honor." Larry Page and Emmett Schmidt smiled and nodded.

Then a group of four people (including Tan Zhi) came to a coffee shop nearby.

After ordering four cups of coffee, Lin Feng hesitated for a while, not knowing how to speak. Everyone knew the future prospects of Google, and it was definitely bright, but it was obviously too hasty to acquire the other party's stocks if he opened his mouth, and the other party would certainly not

promise.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations," Larry Page said first.

Lin Feng was slightly startled.

“Haha, congratulations to Mr. Lin for becoming the chairman of ‘avenue-a’.” Larry Page said congratulations.

'avenue-a' mainly helps corporate customers plan and implement Internet-based advertising activities. Its main brand businesses include: atlas series of software tools for advertisers and advertising publishers, and drivepm services that match advertisers' advertising activities with publisher inventory.

, an avenue a/razorfish advertising agency that provides digital marketing consulting, media planning and buying, and other services.

At present, the business is mainly responsible for three departments, which provide digital marketing services, digital marketing technology services and digital performance media services respectively.

Larry Page came here not only to bid for Avril's first album and exclusive interview rights, but more importantly, he wanted to get in touch with Lin Feng. Larry Page had just received the news, and Lin Feng passed Goldman Sachs

The company successfully acquired 51% of the shares of 'avenue-a', becoming the largest shareholder of 'avenue-a' and concurrently serving as the chairman of the board.

Larry Page has long coveted ‘avenue-a’. Unfortunately, Google just made a profit this year and has no money to acquire this company.

You know, after the Internet bubble burst, the share price of 'avenue-a' fell from the original peak of 12 yuan to more than 3 yuan. At the bottom, the stock market value was far lower than its market value. This was the best acquisition opportunity. But

What made Larry Page depressed was that Google had no money. When Larry Page recovered, 'avenue-a' had been acquired. Later, Lin Feng took over, and the company's account had abundant liquidity.

'avenue-a''s stock price rose to 5.2 yuan in a short period of time.

Larry Page had to pay a visit to Lin Feng, who had acquired ‘avenue-a’, to see what Lin Feng’s intentions were. What exactly Lin Feng planned to use for this company that might threaten Google’s future development direction.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. He acquired this company firstly because of Abby Cohen's suggestion, and secondly out of consideration for his own company. He never thought that it would arouse Google's vigilance.

"Mr. Page, I am extremely interested in Google. I wonder if I can buy shares in Google?" Lin Feng did not answer Larry Page's question. Instead, he got straight to the point and threatened to buy shares in Google.

Larry Page was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would actually take over Google. He was proud that Google was favored by everyone, but he also felt deeply wary. He didn't want the Google he created to become a global leader before it was even listed on the market.

In other people's companies, I became a wage earner.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. Google's funds are currently operating well and there are no financing plans for the time being." Larry Page declined Lin Feng politely, but he didn't say anything. "Perhaps I will ask Mr. Lin in the future. Maybe then."

I hope Mr. Lin can donate generously."

The four of them looked at each other and smiled. Since everyone has their own little Jiujiu, it would be unnecessary to continue talking, so the four of them said goodbye.

That night, at 1 o'clock in the morning, a review of Avril's "Let-Go" album appeared on the Google website, as well as an exclusive interview with Avril.

Although it was 1 o'clock in the morning, many American netizens browsing Google immediately clicked in after seeing the link. In just one hour, the number of views exceeded 200,000. You must remember that it is early in the morning, when the network load is at its lightest.

After dawn tomorrow, you can imagine how crazy the number of views will be.

Google invited Terry Teachout, a well-known music critic in the United States. This time Google grabbed Avril's exclusive interview rights for an astonishing price of one hundred thousand dollars. If you were to find an ordinary music critic, go to

Shi was certain that these traditional media would criticize itself. In order to put an end to these rumors, Google simply spent a lot of money to invite Terry Teachout.

As the most well-known music critic in the United States, Terry Teachout has always been known for his fairness and objectivity. As for Avril's challenge to Britney, Terry Teachout has also been paying attention to this matter, although Avril

This move was a bit "disrespectful" and dissatisfied many music critics and professional record singers, but Terry Teachout didn't have so many ideas. He only thought that this little girl was bold and had a lot of personality, and he was very touched.

Interested, does Avril have the strength?

Therefore, Terry Teachout is very happy to be invited by Google this time.

After getting Avril's first record, Terry Teachout did not immediately put the record into the record player. Instead, he dismissed everyone and poured himself a cup of coffee. After turning off all the lights, a

He stayed quietly in the room for a few minutes. After his body calmed down and his mind was at peace, he put Avril's record into the record player.

Music is inherently a very emotional thing. If you insist on using rationality to analyze and comment, Terry Teachout can only try to keep himself in a state of "quiet mind". Otherwise, once the music critic makes a subjective judgment,

This is so unfair to the singer and an insult to himself as a critic.

The first time, Terry Tichiot just regarded himself as a pure listener and simply enjoyed it.

For the second time, Terry Teachout began to pick out songs of the same genre in the album.

For the third time, Terry Tichiot focused on listening to the most representative song of each style.

For the fourth time, Terry Tichiote paid attention to the matching of lyrics and melody.

...

Terry Teachout stayed in the screening room and listened to it eight times, pondering for a long time before writing the audio review.

——Her ostentatious singing voice is full of energy, her voice is as clear as crystal, and her lyrics reveal a pure feminine style. "Anything-but-ordinary" is an ode to praise the uniqueness of individuals; the first guitar-driven song

The single "complicated" is a concise song that hits the key points of love liars; songs such as "i'm-www.piaotian.comg-grip" and "unwanted", which are stained with string colors, illustrate the courage to face the love liar.

The themes of rejection and betrayal require heaviness and sadness. An album with such a variety of styles. Although Avril is a newcomer, she has done it better than most of her predecessors, and she will definitely be loved by young fans.

Compared with Britney's "Britney" album, although the song "Im-a-slave-4-u" is good, the other songs are too bland, and it is obvious that Britney has begun to transform. As for me

My personal prediction is that in this record sales battle, Avril, as a newcomer, will defeat Britney.

As soon as this comment was posted on Google, it immediately aroused huge controversy. The number of comments instantly exceeded 10,000, which is very incredible in the United States.

Fans who support Britney think that Avril's songs are not that good and that Terry Teachout praises Avril too much. As for Terry Teachout's prediction that record sales will exceed Britney's, in these rumors

In the eyes of Lanny's die-hard fans, this is undoubtedly even more ridiculous, and they believe that this is another hype by Terry Teachout. Although Terry Teachout is the most famous music critic in the United States, he has always been known for his fairness and objectivity.

, but now in the eyes of these die-hard Britney fans, he is just a idiot and an incompetent critic.

Although Terry Teachout was mercilessly reviled by Britney's die-hard fans, many people still stood up for Terry Teachout. For two consecutive nights, Avril only sang one song.

Although it is a song, it already has many fans. These fans stand up for Avril and support Terry Teachout's comments. Although compared with Britney's fans, they are like streams and seas, in Terry.

With Tikiot's reply, their support for Avril was instantly submerged in the abuse of a large number of Britney fans, but they persisted in defending their idol.

The two factions started a war of words with absolutely unequal strength, and Terry Teachout became the focus of debate between the two factions.

The next day, although major newspapers, magazines and media did not obtain permission from Google to reprint, they expressed their own opinions on Terry Teachout's comments, but they were all criticized.

Although Terry Teachout is the most well-known music critic in the United States and is known for his fairness and objectivity, these reporters do not take his past honors and reputation into consideration at all. These reporters are just because

Google made a move and lost its exclusive copyright. After that, Google "arbitrarily" refused to allow them to reprint the article, which further angered the traditional media. Coupled with their love for Blaney, these reporters were even more angry.

.

Undoubtedly, this time Avril was implicated in the dispute between Google and traditional media, and was treated unfairly again.

Many reporters made their own comments, criticizing Terry Teachout for not evaluating Avril's song in a fair and objective manner this time, and even insinuating that Terry Teachout had taken over Google or Lin Feng.

I had to pay bribes to write this irresponsible and unfair review. I even ignored my identity, favored Avril, and made predictions that misled fans, in order to affect the final sales of their records.

Terry Teachout never thought in advance that one of his comments would cause such a big fuss and that he would almost become a public enemy in the United States. He immediately responded on Google and repeatedly emphasized that he was absolutely making the evaluation in a fair and objective manner.

Avril's first album. As for the predictions about Avril and Britney, they are based on speculations made by a senior music critic, and there is absolutely no misleading or deception.

But for the angry reporters and Britney fans, Terry Teachout's explanation was like adding fuel to the fire. In the end, Terry Teachout spoke harshly for the first time in his life.

December 1st is the time when Avril and Britney will publicly release their records. I use my 20 years of experience in this industry to assert that the sales volume of Britney’s record will definitely not be as good as that of Avril. - After that,

Terry Teachout didn't seem to be relieved, so he bet $10,000 on Avril to win through the Internet at mgm betting shop in Las Vegas.

Terry Teachout's behavior undoubtedly brought the whole matter to a boiling point, and the whole country was in an uproar.
Chapter completed!
