Chapter 543 Sergey and Paige

New York

June 2, 2004, 9:00 am

"Boom..."

As the Nasdaq opening bell rang, countless flower petals fell, and everyone present applauded warmly to celebrate Google's successful landing on the Nasdaq market.

There was thunderous applause and laughter.

first day of trading

Google opened at $110 and quickly climbed straight across $111, $112,113. It paused at the integer mark of $120 per share, then broke through $120 and continued to rise.

Excellent performance, once again won warm applause from the audience...

New York Viking Building

Wang Yaocheng did not appear at the listing of Google, because the global roadshow, which lasted for one and a half months and spanned Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and North America, was all run by Mr. Shen Xiangyang and his team.

Only those who have experienced it know how hard it is. Mr. Shen Xiangyang lost more than ten kilograms during this period of time, and four team members collapsed from exhaustion.

Flowers and applause should be given to these meritorious officials. Wang Yaocheng can just be the biggest beneficiary silently, and there is no need to steal the limelight from his subordinates.

Luxurious dome living room

Wang Yaocheng was receiving two guests, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They saw the live broadcast of Google's listing on the large-screen LCD TV in the living room, and their feelings were complicated.

Sergey Brin smiled bitterly and said;

"We personally created Google, a company for which we have devoted countless efforts and sweat, but we were unable to be there in person when it was launched. This will be a lifelong regret for Page and I."

"It's really too bad." Larry Page, who has always been a man of few words, said rarely.

Wang Yaocheng smiled slightly and said;

"You should feel lucky that Google's vigorous development momentum has not been interrupted. We continue to consolidate our leading advantages in the online search market. Our innovative advertising models have brought us a steady stream of profits. As a result, the market valuation has increased. You are all worth 10 A billionaire, a truly successful person in Silicon Valley, who has reason to be proud of himself."

"Thank you for your compliment. Page and I are really ashamed. If it weren't for your helping hand, we almost ruined our career." Sergey Brin said this very sincerely.

In the "Papa Billy's Nightclub Rape Case", the barristers representing Sergey Brin and Larry Page reached a conditional plea deal with the prosecutor, and the victim Elena's side voluntarily dropped the prosecution.

The court accepted the defense's mitigating statement and gave a lighter sentence of one to eight months' probation, with 24 weeks of voluntary community labor.

In the United States, such criminal cases with solid evidence are not allowed to be settled out of court.

However, a conditional plea bargain can be reached with the prosecutor. The suspect voluntarily pleads guilty and reaches a settlement with the victim, promises high financial compensation, has a good confession attitude and attaches a series of conditions such as community labor. The judge will give a lighter sentence based on the actual situation. Judgment.

During the probation period, you are not allowed to leave the city where you live, and you must regularly participate in community voluntary labor and accept inspections by the parole officer at any time.

This was already the best result, but it cost more than 30 million US dollars to reach a settlement, and also paid millions of dollars in legal fees, resulting in heavy economic and reputational losses.

So, these two unfortunate guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, just finished serving their probation.

"Guys, don't be downcast. You have paid a heavy price for the stupid things you have done. Let the past be in the past. You will usher in a new life. Be happy. No one will blame you for this.

"

Wang Yaocheng comforted the two people in front of him with gentle words, just like a considerate elder brother.

Although he said this, that was not what he thought in his heart;

Sergey Brin and Larry Page will carry this shackles for the rest of their lives, and they will not be able to get rid of it until their lives come to an end, and they may even be despised after death.

Look! This rapist went to hell.

This pouring of chicken soup is in line with the desires of the two brothers Sergey Brin and Larry Page. They would rather deceive themselves and others into believing that the matter is over and everyone is as tolerant as the boss.

"Thank you very much for your understanding. Hey... to this day I don't know why I lost my head in the first place?"

Sergey Brin looked at his good friend Larry Page, and the two of them stared at each other speechless, but he did do it himself, and there is no denying this.

I can only say that drunkenness makes people cowardly!

Wang Yaocheng said unhurriedly;

"You know, I never like people to drink alcohol, K fans, or take hallucinogenic drugs. Although these smoky things can bring short-term extreme pleasure, they will damage people's minds and turn them into monsters that no one knows.

Incredible things.”

"Boss, this is all like a nightmare. Now we have woken up. I hope you can give us another chance."

"What do you two mean?"

"We want to return to Google, boss. We promise you that we will never drink alcohol, be a K fan, or take hallucinogenic drugs. We will start over with a new look and serve the company conscientiously."

Sergey Brin seemed to have tears in his eyes, and said affectionately: "Leaving Google is like leaving the warm embrace of our mother, unable to find the direction of progress and life.

Don’t you know how we have spent these past year?

I don’t care if I am ridiculed and looked down upon. The most painful thing is not being able to do my most beloved job. The network technology industry is changing with each passing day, and it seems like a century has passed since I came back.

Both of us have Ph.D.s in computer science from Stanford University, and we will only do this in our lives, so this time we come...

I am praying that you will give us another chance to return to work at Google."

Just after Sergey Brin finished speaking, Larry Page nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "I think so too, please."

"Haha...welcome!"

Wang Yaocheng smiled and stretched out his big hand. Sergey Brin was stunned and immediately stretched out his hands to hold it in surprise. Larry Page did the same, feeling happiness falling from the sky.

"Google has never closed its door to you, and is willing to come back and do its part to welcome you with both hands, because this is our common company and our common ideal.

You are welcome to join us again and make Google truly bigger and stronger.

CEO Mr. Shun Xiangyang is an academician of the American Academy of Engineering and a famous scientist in the computer industry. He has been in charge of Yahoo for many years and has a very prudent and proper management style.

Since he left, Yahoo, a company run by Yang Zhiyuan, has experienced rapid growth. You have also seen the serious consequences now, and it is almost impossible to recover from it.

It only takes less than two years for a leading network high-tech company to go from glory to decline.

This is enough for us to be alert and aware of the many crises faced by high-tech network companies. Once we fail to control the pace of company development, we will fall hard no matter how high we fly.

This time, I asked him to come back and take on the important task of rebuilding Google, and it turned out that he did a very good job.

I hope you can do your best to cooperate with him and jointly turn Google into a global company and embark on a path of steady development."

After a heavy blow, I was taught how to be a human being by harsh reality. 4.

Now Sergey Brin and Larry Page are finally sober! They are no longer wandering and wandering. They are keeping their bodies very low and just ask to be able to return to work at Google.

The two brothers accepted Wang Yaocheng's earnest request without saying "no". It seems that after being bruised and bruised, they finally understood.

In this case, Wang Yaocheng simply entrusted him with the important task;

"Both of you are top experts in the computer field. Page serves as director and product director, and Sergey serves as director and technical director. Together, they assist Chairman and CEO Mr. Shun Xiangyang in responsible for the daily administrative operations of Google.

Google's unique innovative spirit and corporate culture require the three of you to work together to maintain it and work together to create the future.

My request to Google is;

The business takes search as its core and expands its business around "information search." Google's current email address, Gmail, Google Maps, as well as the communities, dating, cloud computing, cloud storage, etc. it plans to focus on in the next step, are all centered around this.

Extended business developed from one core.

I hope that Google can transform from a single search engine to a platform provider that can provide rich and colorful search services and the largest advertising platform on the Internet.

Through product integration, the cumulative effect of one plus one is greater than two, further widening the gap with competitors.

An ancient Chinese proverb is given to you;

Born in sorrow, died in happiness.

Guys, the road you face is long and arduous. I hope you will not get entangled in internal struggles for power and gain, and unite to deal with external challenges. Only this kind of Google is the most powerful company."

After these words, Sergey Brin and Larry Page were excited and determined, and they were eager to prepare for a big fight.

Both of them are giants in the computer field. They have keen intuition about the development of network technology and have extraordinary abilities.

In the original historical trajectory;

The two brothers have developed Google into the world's second largest company by market capitalization, with a value of 800 billion US dollars. To put it bluntly, this is something that neither Wang Yaocheng nor Shen Xiangyang can do.

Regardless of the current prosperity of Google's development, it is impossible to maintain rapid development for 15 or even 20 years simply relying on Shen Xiangyang's personal ability.

Wang Yaocheng is good at capital operation, using bugs from past and present lives to change the situation. Simply running a high-tech network enterprise is not as good as Mr. Shen Xiangyang, let alone others.

The so-called; there is specialization in skills.

If the two ready-made talented people are not used, the ultimate loss will be the interests of the controlling shareholder Royal Family Fund. How could Wang Yaocheng do such a stupid thing?

More than a year after Sergey Brin and Larry Page left, Google is no longer the original Google. Huge personnel adjustments have taken place, and many closely related Stanford engineers have left this thriving company.

Instead, there are a large number of Chinese executives and middle managers from Yahoo.com, a large number of high-level Chinese engineers and technical directors, almost filling the existing positions.

Over the past year or so, Google's business has been on the right track, its development is in full swing and it has gone public.

However, many employees have changed inside, so it should be considered a Chinese company.

It is almost impossible for Sergey and Page to make any big waves simply by relying on them, because above them, Mr. Shun Xiangyang, the chairman and CEO, controls the overall situation.

At the top, the big boss Wang Yaocheng, who holds absolute controlling rights, sits in charge;

Once the crooked-mouthed monk reads the wrong scripture, he can be kicked out without mercy.

Google has double insurance and Chinese middle-level and senior executives. Even if the powerful Monkey King comes, it will not be able to change the situation, let alone Sergey and Page, who have now been surrendered.

Listen carefully, the boss king's words are still in your ears;

"Guys, the road you face is long and arduous. I hope you will not get entangled in internal struggles for power and gain, and unite to deal with external challenges. Only this kind of Google is the most powerful company."

Sergey and Page are neither stupid. Smart people quickly recognize the reality and focus on fully developing the company.
