At this time, what Li Feng said to Eric Schmidt was thought through in his heart. In the original history, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were known as the troika of Google. Google achieved brilliance with the efforts of the three.
In today's Li Feng's view, Eric's role is even greater than Larry and Sergey. After all, although they have technical advantages, after a certain stage, Google no longer depends on their technology, although they hold patented technology.
How to control a giant like Google is the key. There is no doubt that Eric Schmidt has done very well in this regard, and even trained Larry Page into a qualified CEO of a top technology company. From this point of view, Eric Schmidt has done very well.
In fact, Feixun is almost the same as it is today. It must be admitted that although Europe and America also use instant messaging, the revenue of penguins in previous generations mainly depends on games. To be realistic, this is not feasible in Europe and America.
Meidi likes more stand-alone games and platform games, and the competition in Meidi's game industry is too fierce. From a large number of game development companies in Europe and the United States to traditional game industry giants in South Korea and Japan, it is too difficult for Meidi to make a lot of money by playing like penguins in previous generations.
Therefore, as long as today's Feixun goes step by step, perhaps when the future social network comes, it will be the glorious period of instant messaging software in Europe and America. Relying on the monopoly instant messaging software giants in Europe and America, it may be that the history of FB and xiaoza in the future will be rewritten.
……
Of course, Europe and the United States also have a favorable side, that is, they are used to charging. From the use of YY members, it can be seen that the proportion of members far exceeds that of China in previous generations. In addition, the revenue on the leisure game platform is enough to ensure the development of Feixun.
Considering this situation, Li Feng felt that it was a bit wasteful to put such a talent as Eric Schmidt in the position of CEO of Feixun, so he would consider letting Eric return to the big ship of Google again and return to the correct track of history.
Eric Schmidt naturally didn't know what was in it. He was naturally shocked by Li Feng's sudden proposal. However, Eric also understood Li Feng's personality and knew that his boss was not a person who talked nonsense. Since he raised such a question, he naturally had some ideas.
So if you really become the CEO of Google and take it into such a role, you will lead Google in which direction. As Li Feng's Internet helmsman and agent, you naturally understand your boss. Although your boss doesn't understand Internet technology, Eric even asserts that no one sees further than your boss in terms of the foresight of the Internet.
Since we talked about the profitability of the search engine before, maybe our boss has a new idea for the development model of the search engine. According to his boss's consistent successful precedent, Eric will ask Li Feng if he has a new idea for Google.
Naturally, with Li Feng's response that "you have become a worm in your belly", Eric ton was surprised. Although he expected, he was still surprised. Does his boss really have a new search engine model or even a new profit model.
……
"Eric, which do you think is more promising in the future?" Seeing Eric Schmidt stunned by his sudden proposal, Li Feng asked with a smile.
"Boss, is Google more important than Feixun in your heart?" Eric Schmidt asked in surprise.
"Who knows the future!" Li Feng thought about it, and finally replied vaguely. After all, there are some things that Li Feng can't explain for the time being.
During the chat, Li Feng and his party returned to Feixun office building again.
"Eric, YY is stable for the time being. Next, you go to Google for a while. Let's discuss the development of Google, including financing and the repurchase of shares by Larry and Sergey." At this time, he returned to the office of the chairman of Feixun. After Li Feng sat down with Eric and Wang Siqing, Li Feng said to him.
"Boss, first we need to determine Google's new valuation, and then discuss the repurchase with Larry and Sergey. Do you have any explanation for Google's valuation in your mind?" Schmidt asked with a smile.
"How much money have we invested in Google and how much money is left in Google's account?" Li Feng thought about it and asked back.
"Google has invested a total of $50 million. Except for the $1 million you purchased for the first time, the rest are injected in two successive times. As for Google's account, I also saw in the financial statements a few days ago that there seems to be less than 15 million funds. In fact, Google's scale is not small now. This money is not easy to use in a few days. "
"Then our valuation is 10 times the total investment?" Li Feng suggested with a smile.
"Er... According to your consistent style and principle of boss, I think it is feasible."
"John, if so, I don't think Larry and Sergey will buy back more than 10% or even less." Wang Siqing said with a smile.
"Ha ha..."
……
"Boss, do you want to talk about financing before repurchase or repurchase before financing?" Eric suddenly said.
"We can talk about everything, but if we buy back first and then finance, we can give them a discount when we buy back." Li Feng replied with a smile.
"OK, I see. I'll contact Larry and Sergey first. I think they should have a wise choice." Eric responded with a smile.
Obviously, Li Feng's meaning is very clear. Buy back first and then talk about financing. In this way, we can try to reduce their shares through financing again. In order to appease them, we specially explained that the repurchase price can be a little lower than the financing valuation. I believe Larry and Eric should know how to choose when their own interests are involved.
"OK, that's it. Eric, you first get in touch with Larry and those venture capital investors, let the wind out, say that Google is ready to start round a financing, and specifically explain that maybe Google will raise money once or twice in the future. Let everyone who has ideas come." After explaining and discussing with Eric again, Li Feng finally said with a smile.
"I see. In addition to Google, I think Feixun has been able to maintain a balance of payments, so I think it can make the last financing before listing without preparing for listing. What do you think?"
"Is it a bit of a loss for Feixun to start financing now? In the future, our portal, mailbox and other projects will be started. Will the valuation be greater at that time?"
……
"Boss, you don't want to give in to Yahoo temporarily. Considering the value of your Yahoo shares, we can first make a future plan for those capital institutions.
Everyone is smart enough. According to the huge users of Feixun, whether launching portal or email, they have unique advantages. These people will see our potential.
As for when we will officially launch it, we can negotiate with Yahoo and major institutions. Now we still focus on occupying instant messaging software users, and we can choose a result satisfactory to all parties, that's the best. " Eric explained with a smile.
"OK, let's decide. Eric, you'll be busy next!"
"Ha ha... This is my favorite thing, isn't it?"
"OK, I'll do the biggest logistics for you. You can talk about it safely and boldly. I'll support you if there's anything."
"That's naturally the best. Boss, your existence is our biggest backing."
"You... Flatter me... I like... Ha ha..."
"Ha ha..."
