Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1875
Obviously, this Larry Page is not a businessman in the traditional sense, he just wants to accomplish something.There seems to be a lack of sophistication in this "diplomatic" business.

Although Zhou Buqi is several years younger than him, his business scope covers a wide range, including many traditional industries.When dealing with this type of matter, it is obvious that boss Zhou has the upper hand.

Also Larry Page was too anxious.

Too eager to start a social business.

When Zhou Buqi dealt with Schmidt before, he felt that he was an old fox, and he couldn't grasp whether he was slippery or not.This Comrade Page is different, at best he is sincere, at worst he is childish.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Larry Page used to research "Project X" at Google, which is some mysterious high-tech projects within Google, such as Google Glass.I have never made a penny, just spend money on various research.

It would be no problem for him to stand up and lead the development of some scientific research products, but it would be a bit difficult for him to come out to lead the company's development like a mature businessman and skillfully handle the business relationship between companies.

Maybe he will grow up very quickly in the future.

But not now.

In Zhou Buqi's eyes, he felt that Larry Page was so innocent, which allowed him to easily take the initiative in this business discussion.

In negotiating this kind of thing, the more proactive the party is, the more passive it is.

Zhou kept his composure and said calmly: "Well, with Google's strength, it's still very easy to convince some other small shareholders and investors."

Larry Page said with a smile: "Yes, as long as Ziwei Xing is willing to sell, although you only have 32% of Twitter's shares in your hand, this is the most important thing. As long as you agree, others will easily move toward you." Leaning in Google's direction."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This is not good."

Larry Page said: "Twitter is no longer in Ziweixing's strategic structure, and has even formed a certain business conflict. Unless you give up the YikYak business, I don't think you can ease the relationship with Twitter."

Zhou Buqi said, "It's not the reason for the business conflict."

Larry Page smiled and said: "Didn't you just say that Ziweixing's position on Twitter is financial investment. Since it is a financial investment...you can rest assured that Google will satisfy Ziweixing and all investors' capital gains." Yi's request!"

Obviously, this dude doesn't care about money at all.

As long as social business can be done, no matter how much money is spent, it should be done.

Zhou Buqi drank his coffee with his head down, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "It's not about money."

"Huh?" Larry Page frowned slightly, "Isn't financial investment pursuing capital gains?"

Zhou Buqi gave him a deep look, "Larry, do you think I'm short of money?"

"Uh……"

Larry Page can't say much about it.

In the "Forbes" rich list, he can only be ranked in the top 20, but this boss Zhou can be ranked in the top 5.In the past period of time, I heard that several companies related to him have been listed. Maybe he can go further in this year's ranking!

Zhou Buqi said: "I have some differences with Twitter's management, but they are not that serious. Business differences will not affect our personal relationship. But... Larry, you have to understand that Ivan and Google There is a deep grievance. If I work behind the scenes to sell Twitter to Google, it will not only be a business disagreement, but it will damage my reputation."

Larry Page was a little embarrassed, but still bit the bullet and said, "Zhou, I don't think this is a big problem."

"No, this is morality!"

Zhou Buqi looked serious, beyond doubt.

Larry Page doesn't want to give up, "but..."

"Okay, Larry, let's stop this topic." Zhou Buqi interrupted him, "In the case of Twitter, I'm after financial investment, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I want to see What is more important is the win-win situation for all parties and the establishment of a friendly and stable relationship with each other.”

Larry Page sighed, unwillingly.

Zhou Buqi said: "If Twitter is sold to Google, then Ivan will definitely quit. He is the godfather of Twitter. I don't want to be such a behind-the-scenes man."

"Well, I understand."

Larry Page nodded, his tone was full of disappointment, and his emotions were not so high.

Zhou Shaoning listened quietly beside him.

He has been with Boss Zhou for several years, so he doesn't believe this!

Depend on!
It was agreed to sell Twitter to Google, but has it changed temporarily?
impossible!
This is playing tricks, teasing the new CEO of Google who has just taken over and has little business experience.

Seeing that the communication between the two parties could not go on, Zhou Shaoning spoke decisively, seemingly trying to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Cooperation, there is always a back and forth. Negotiation is the art of compromise, and such a big matter cannot be done once. It's done."

Larry Page was very happy after hearing this, and felt that the extinguished flame was rekindled, "Of course, we can communicate more in the future."

……

Time is limited, this meeting is 45 minutes.

Newly appointed Larry Page is too busy at work.

Zhou Shaoning actually has some mobile phone business matters here, so it's not that important.The mobile phone business is simply not on the radar of Larry Page, who is now preoccupied with social networking.

Whether social business can be done can be directly related to the legitimacy of his position as CEO.

Over the past few years, Schmidt has led Google to flourish.

Why did you take him down?
The main reason is the absence and weakness of Google's social business.

The development of social business is imminent for Google and Larry Page.

Zhou Shaoning also wanted to further talk about the cooperation between Asda and Motorola on patents, but Larry Page would not come forward and planned to hand it over to other executives.

Larry Page is out, and he will be out that week too.

In his capacity, it is impossible to connect with a senior vice president of Google.

This is also in line with Zhou Buqi's expectations.

The two left Google first, and then returned to the headquarters of Ziweixing International.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhou Shaoning couldn't hold back, "What do you think about Twitter?"

With outsiders present, Zhou Buqi didn’t bother to ask his secretary to come over and help him take off his coat. While taking off his clothes, he smiled and said, “As you said, you can talk slowly and communicate more. Larry Page is very anxious Ah, good news! The more anxious you are, the better!"

Zhou Shaoning laughed, "I knew it!"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's like many girls in nightclubs trying to catch a girl. You have to grasp the size and strength, you can't refuse too hard, and you have to keep hope for the other party."

"Uh……"

Zhou Shaoning was speechless, what kind of smoky metaphor is this?

Zhou Buqi said: "Now, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have begun to join the Android camp to produce smartphones, and a large number of mid-range phones have appeared in the market."

Zhou Shaoning sighed, and was also very worried about this, "Yes, the Aster series used to occupy 45% of the Android phone market, but this year it may be greatly reduced. It would be good to keep 25%. But the performance will not be too bad. , will maintain a good growth rate, thanks to the expansion of the market."

Zhou Buqi said: "So, for Asda, if there is an opportunity to lay out the market of low-end and mid-range phones as soon as possible, then it must be seized!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Shaoning raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a bit of surprise.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "This is a surprise, I didn't expect Larry Page to be so urgent. Seeing him in such a hurry, he is the first brother with a first-timer who has never touched a woman." It’s like touching a woman’s little hand for the first time.”

Zhou Shaoning was angry and funny, "What kind of metaphor are you talking about?"

"Is it out of character?"

"An image is an image, but it is more or less imageless."
