Chapter 479

March 13.

At 5 a.m. on the same day, Zhuke led the team to leave Seattle on the private plane "Lola". However, the destination this time is not Los Angeles, but Santa Clara County, California.

Does Santa Clara County sound strange?

Is the Santa Clara Valley under the rule of Santa Clara County more strange?

However... There is another name for the Santa Clara Valley, which is "Silicon Valley"!

"Boss, your trip to Silicon Valley mainly includes two itineraries. One is water world animation, the other is Google. " Said bargio Liszt, Jr., a member of the think tank.

Zhuke nodded and looked out of the window at the clouds.

Water world animation company, in fact, this time there is not much to do.

Once upon a time, water world animation and LinkedIn shared the same building. Now that the headquarters of LinkedIn has been relocated to the Seattle Industrial Park, the Wald building in Silicon Valley will be completely occupied by Waterworld animation company.

"Lingying and water world animation, dealing with the remaining problems, that's not a big deal."

"But... Google, this time it's definitely serious."

Not long ago, Larry Page, chairman and CEO of Google, talked to Zhuke more than once. Well, there were remote video calls.

Larry Page wants to step down as CEO of Google!

........

Seattle is 1140 kilometers away from Silicon Valley.

Zhuke took the "roller" Boeing 767 and arrived at his destination in less than two hours.

"Well, everyone, it's still early. It's more than ten minutes before 7 am. Let's find a place to eat first." Chuck suggested.

"OK, boss."

Little Baggio Lister and other private team members, of course, agreed.

Zhuke's private plane costs as much as US $110 million. It has complete facilities and a necessary kitchen. However, Zhuke doesn't like to eat on the plane and always feels unreal.

So here comes the question...!

Zhuke doesn't eat on the plane, you say, the employees below, do they like to eat on the plane?

As a result, the employees, who had been up early in the morning, were already his mother. One by one, not to mention hungry, their chest was close to their back, but their stomach must be empty.

meanwhile.

Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, is also at the home of Larry Page, chairman and CEO of Google.

"Should chuck Wald be here this morning?" Page asked.

Brin grinned. "He arrived this morning. Well, I guess he should have arrived at the airport in mountain view by now."

Smell speech, page can't help but envy a way: "really envy he has a luxurious Boeing 767 private aircraft."

Brin said with a smile, "you don't have to envy me, man. I believe that in the near future, we will also have a Boeing 767 that belongs to us. "

"Oh, are you so sure?" Page plays with the taste.

"Of course! I'm absolutely sure! "

Brin was full of confidence.

In fact, in the future, they will jointly buy a Boeing 767, and the overall cost is much higher than the total cost of Zhuke's "Lola" of $110 million.

The chat is over. Let's get to the point.

"Brin, do you think Eric Schmidt will support me when I leave my post as CEO of Google? The two of us have an absolute controlling interest in the accumulation of shares, which can be decided in one word. However, I don't want to conflict with Mr. Wald on the appointment of CEO, do you understand? " Page said seriously.

Brin nodded and said, "I understand."

Zucker took a stake in Google very early, and he was very happy in the process of cooperation.

As long as it was their decision, Zhuke almost never opposed it and gave them the greatest support.

Moreover, in 2000, Google's search engine entered a money burning mode because of promotion problems. At that time, Google, which lacked huge financial support, could only start round a financing to solve the problem of lack of funds.

But... Zhuke stood up!

Instead of taking advantage of others' danger and taking more shares in Google, Zhuke lent Google a lot of money, up to US $50 million, by means of tripartite lending!

On this point alone, page and Brin were deeply moved.

This $50 million timely rain, smoothly let Google's search engine rapid development, in a short period of six months, it has become the dominant search engine field!

Of course, this is also because at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of 2000, the major Internet companies paid too much attention to the construction of portal websites and ignored the search engine market.

"As you know, our cooperation with Mr. ward is very pleasant and harmonious. I hope this kind of cooperation can continue all the time, instead of some bullshit due to the share issue." Larry Page stressed again.

"Ha ha ha, don't worry."

Sergey Brin said confidently: "the reason why you want to step down as CEO of Google is that you have found your own shortcomings, but also for the future of the company. You say Eric Schmidt is a strategic commander and the person Google needs most at present. I quite agree with that. "

"I'm sure Mr. ward will agree with your decision when he meets Eric Schmidt."

Eric Schmidt, male, aged 46.

Soon after he graduated from University, he worked in zigelow company and Bell laboratory;

The former is a famous design company of Z80 Series CPU in IT industry, while the latter is the R & D base of bell, a giant in telecom industry. He has also worked in Xerox's computer science laboratory, the technology Mecca of the IT industry. In just a few years, he has grown into a well-known network engineer and technology bull.

However... His real strength lies in business management and strategic planning!

In 1983, Schmidt joined sun as chief technology officer and chief executive officer. He led the development of sun's independent programming technology platform, turning Java into the most powerful market weapon in sun's history;

In 1997, Schmidt accepted Novell (the main business is computer operating system) Company as chairman and CEO, in charge of the company's strategic planning, management and technology research and development. Schmidt quickly reinvented Novell as a profitable company, but

With the collapse of the Internet bubble, Novell has fallen into a huge loss. Huge market value loss, not to mention, Novell lost $142 million in just one quarter.

Of course, the main reason is that sun can't do Bill Gates' Microsoft in terms of computer operating system!

In a word, Eric Schmidt is a super talent in technology, management and strategic planning.

Now Eric Schmidt has to convince Zucker to succeed as Google's CEO!

The second watch is on.
