I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 421 Inventory and Harvest, Google Is Coming Soon!

(PS: I just found out that the title numbers of the first two chapters were wrong, and I will ask the editor to help me adjust them on Monday)
Lin Xiao naturally saw the eyes of people like Larry Page.

For Lin Xiao, Da Zhong's eyes had already been seen a lot when the domestic Eternal Network came up with his own ideas, so he was not surprised at this time.

After the excitement of several people passed, Lin Xiao began to ask Larry Page a key question.

"Larry, Sergey, I have relatively large shares in two search engine companies, Google and Baidu, so my idea of ​​this system is jointly developed by Google and Baidu, and the results are shared by the two companies. What do you think?"

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at Li Yanhong, and then they looked at each other.

Then Larry Page nodded and said: "I don't think there is a problem. We will work together to carry out basic development. After completing the basic structure, we will perfect the integration according to the operation of our respective search engines."

Neither of the two founders of Google had any objections, and Li Yanhong naturally wouldn't say anything, after all, Lin Xiaocai is Baidu's major shareholder.

Even if the matter of development is officially finalized, Lin Xiao is also extremely happy that this matter has been facilitated.

Among them, many are still happy that Baidu can share this development result.

With the idea provided by myself, can Baidu Li Yanhong and others make this advertising system?Lin Xiao believes that it should be possible to spend some time.

But firstly, it takes a lot of time. For Baidu, which has just been established, if it takes too much time and energy, it will inevitably have some impact on their entire operation.

On the other hand, Google's programs are known for their high quality, and Google's advertising system in the previous life has also proven its reliability.

Therefore, with Larry Page as the mainstay, and Li Yanhong and others assisting, it can not only avoid duplication of labor, but also share the results.

By the way, it also allows Li Yanhong and others to learn from Google's programming architecture and technical ideas. This is also a good opportunity for Li Yanhong and others.

Of course, from the very beginning, Lin Xiao also deduced that Larry Page and Sergey Brin should agree. After all, this model idea was proposed by himself, and both companies are also the single largest shareholders.

Afterwards, the enthusiasm of both Google and Baidu was extremely high. On the same day, Google recruited people to form a development team, led by Larry Page himself, and began to work in full swing.

After the search engine advertising system was finalized, the main purpose of Lin Xiao's trip to the United States was fulfilled.

Although the time was not short, it has been more than 20 days, but the harvest is not small.

First, the stock price of Inktomi plummeted, and Lanyumo successfully shorted it, making a net profit of 6262 million yuan. Not only did they get all the money invested in Google back, but also a lot more.

After all, it only cost 2320 million yuan before and after investing in Google, so it can add 3940 million yuan more.

Although the money is only put on the account of future investment for the time being, it will eventually be used to pay the later payment for the purchase of ASML shares, but if a relatively high return can be maintained, the money that needs to be paid to Philip will eventually be paid After all is done, there may still be some savings.

According to the agreement of future investment and Philips, for the 9.12 million yuan purchase of ASML shares, 50% of the initial payment needs to be paid, which is 4.56 million yuan. This money has already been paid, and Lin Xiao just happened to Got it all together.

Then, the second phase of 25% payment and the second phase of 25% payment will need 2.28 million yuan, and the time will be in mid-August, which is not far away.

Earning part of the cash is only one aspect. Although the other two things have not brought such huge benefits to Lin Xiao for the time being, in the long run, it can be said that the gains will be greater.

The cooperation with the five major record companies is one of the main purposes of Lin Xiao's trip. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it was successfully completed in the end. The number of Gplayer user registrations has been rising steadily in the past two days, and the sales revenue has also continued to rise .

Obviously, this is just the beginning. This project can last for more than 20 to [-] years, and the income will increase as it goes on.

Another benefit of this project is the indirect publicity and sales boost for Gpod.

Lin Xiao specially asked Fadell to pay attention to the market in the past few days. According to the feedback, in the past two days, there have been signs of a slight increase in the number of customers who consult Gpod in major stores and Amazon.

A little later in time, Lin Xiao is quite optimistic about the positive impact it can bring.

The more important point is that the ecosystem formed by Gpod and Gplayer has allowed Eternal Technology to complete the layout of digital music earlier than other companies.

Lin Xiao didn't think about monopolizing, and naturally he couldn't do it, but he still had some ideas about eating the biggest bite of this big cake.

The current construction of this ecosystem means that Eternal Technology is at least several steps ahead of its competitors.

The finalization of the search engine advertising system is another major achievement. Although it has just started for the time being, Lin Xiao feels that the problem should not be serious.

And the development of this advertising system is completed, and the benefits it can bring to itself are also real.

On the one hand, Baidu will find a more reasonable business model than the previous life, and the profit may not be smaller than the previous life, but word of mouth is completely different.

On the other hand, Google began to expand its scale and completed the development of the advertising system ahead of schedule, which means that Google's development has completely accelerated compared to the previous life.

Next, Lin Xiao will continue to push Google to accelerate its development, such as encouraging Larry Page to connect with major websites such as America Online and promote its own advertising services.

If this further promotes the accelerated development of Google, in all likelihood, Google will go public without waiting until 2004.

There was actually a reason why Google chose to go public in 2004 in the previous life.

Because the current securities law of the United States stipulates that when a company has more than 500 shareholders and its assets exceed a certain scale, even if it is not listed, it must announce its financial status within 100 days of the second year.

In the previous life, Google ushered in rapid development in 2002. In 2003, the total number of people exceeded 500. According to the regulations of the United States, they must announce their financial status within 2004 days of the beginning of 100.

Therefore, in 2003, many people familiar with the financial rules of the United States accurately predicted that the time for Google to apply for listing would be April 2004, 4.

And after some current promotion, even if the number of people in Google will not exceed 500 this year, it should exceed 2002 next year, which means that Google must go public in [-] at the earliest.

Holding more than 30% of Google's shares, even if Google's next financing and listing may dilute the shares, once Google goes public, the wealth in your hands will have a huge leap.

You must know that Larry Page and Sergey Brin only hold 27.87% of the shares in their hands. As co-founders, they belong to the joint stockholding.

All in all, this trip for more than 20 days can be described as a great harvest!
After finishing all this, Lin Xiao is ready to leave the country of America and go back to China.

Before returning to China, Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo made a phone call. Lan Yumo had already left Silicon Valley for New York on the day Wang Zhi and the others came.

Roger Evans and Faith Hill of Warner Music have also established good relationships these days, and Lin Xiao also called one by one to say goodbye.

Then, Lin Xiao, the technical team that came to Silicon Valley from Baidu and Eternal Technology, also met one by one, and encouraged everyone to see and learn more in Silicon Valley to improve their technical level.

Among them, Lin Xiao also gave Wang Zhi special advice.

To be honest, with Wang Zhi's programming level, there is a big gap between Li Yanhong and Larry Page and others.

Although Wang Zhi has studied hard at school in the past two years, and has also stayed in Gengu Network and Baidu, he is not at the same level as them.

So for Wang Zhi, Lin Xiao told him that learning technology is one aspect, but there is no need to say that you must catch up with the level of those big guys. You should also deeply feel the entire atmosphere of Silicon Valley and learn the philosophy of Silicon Valley companies. point is more important.

For Wang Zhi's positioning, Lin Xiao never positioned him as a technical expert, but as a trustworthy manager.

Among several start-up companies, Baidu is the one in which Lin Xiao is the least involved in the management. Naturally, there needs to be someone he fully trusts in the management.

After explaining all this, Lin Xiao boarded the plane back to China.

Flying from Silicon Valley to Yanjing, Lin Xiao's original intention was to stay in Yanjing for two or three days to see the company's situation, and then return to his hometown.

But before leaving the airport, Lin Xiao's plan was completely disrupted by a phone call.
