Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 418 All sacrifices now are for a better future

Just know what Li Feng needs!Isn't the final result of the negotiation mutual benefit and win-win!

After the board meeting, Eric Schmidt took Larry Page to Yanjing by plane with confidence overnight.

Just getting off the plane, Eric Schmidt felt very uncomfortable, because Yanjing was too cold, and the air was still a bit smoggy and drowsy. Compared with Silicon Valley, which is like spring all the year round, Yanjing's pm2.5. [-] concentration is indeed a bit high!
What makes Eric Schmidt even more upset is that they have already greeted Fengrui in advance, but when they came to Fengrui early in the morning, they were all in vain. Except for Fengrui President Liu Zhiping, Fengrui Rui's real boss, Li Feng, said that he was "on a business trip".

And for two days in a row, Li Feng has been reluctant to show up, except for Liu Zhiping who accompanied the two of them to visit Yanjing twice. Although there are many scenic spots in Yanjing, Schmidt came to China not to see the scenery, but to negotiate. of.

Larry Page, who came to China for the first time, was very interested in everything. He was so excited about everything. He didn’t even expect that China’s development is so good now. Yanjing has more high-rise buildings than New York, especially in China. The delicious food is really unforgettable.

And what did Li Feng do these two days? He didn't go on a business trip. He was accompanying Yang Xiao. It wasn't until after sending Yang Xiao back to his hometown that Li Feng showed up on the third day.

Of course, Li Feng didn't intend to cool Schmidt and the others on purpose these two days. He doesn't have the qualifications now, but he didn't expect Google to come so soon. He didn't even hold on for a week. The CEO personally visits China;

And he is also waiting for someone, that is the CEO of YouTube, Chen Shijun, this entrepreneurial dick of the year is already worthy of the name of Google's entrepreneurial elite,
Since even Google CEO Schmidt has personally come forward this time, the negotiation must have a result!
However, before formally negotiating with Google, Li Feng communicated with Chen Shijun first. After all, Chen Shijun, as the current CEO of YouTube, had to ask for his opinion on some matters.

As soon as he came up, Chen Shijun hurriedly said: "Boss, I just don't understand why you insist on selling YouTube. Now our YouTube development situation is so good, especially after the Ice Bucket Challenge, our registration staff has exploded again." increase,

Registered users have directly increased from 5000 million to 8000 users, and the number of users in the US market has also increased directly from 3500 million to 5000 million. The daily video viewing volume has reached 2 million times in the past few days. Now our YouTube foundation has been established. You Why even sell YouTube? "

YouTube was created by Chen Shijun, it is just like his children, Chen Shijun really doesn’t understand why Li Feng wants to do this,
"Boss, if you are short of money, you can definitely let YouTube raise money. There are a lot of venture funds in Silicon Valley and the United States. Investors are going to invest in our YouTube!"

Li Feng didn't say anything, he could only ask Song Jia to pour a cup of tea for Chen Shijun, then picked up the teacup himself, and said flatly: "It's not for any reason, it's just for greater and long-term benefits!"

"Could it be the mobile Internet that you often mention?" Chen Shijun asked.

"Yes, if you are willing, you will gain if you are willing. For the sake of the future, you can only sacrifice YouTube!" Li Feng said calmly.

"That shouldn't be sold now, boss, even if you want to sell YouTube, you can wait. Now that the ice bucket challenge is so popular, YouTube's valuation is one price per day.

Yesterday it was worth 16.5 billion US dollars, now it can be worth 18 billion US dollars, tomorrow it may be worth 20 billion, 30 billion US dollars, or even 100 billion US dollars in the future, you can wait! "Chen Shijun continued to persuade.

"I know all of this, and I'm clear, and I'm sure, as long as YouTube continues to develop like this, it will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the future! But time doesn't wait for me, the sacrifice now is only for greater success in the future!" Li Feng said firmly.

Seeing that Li Feng had made up his mind, Chen Shijun didn't know what to say, he just nodded helplessly.

On the other hand, seeing Chen Shijun's downcast look, Li Feng quickly comforted him and said, "Shijun, I know YouTube is like your child, you brought it up step by step, and I'm really sorry for that."

"I see, boss, I just can't bear it!" Chen Shijun said sadly.

If a company created and developed by one person is sold by others, no one will be happy if it is put on it!
Li Feng didn't explain anything, just drank tea silently with Chen Shijun. Although YouTube was created by Chen Shijun, it was still his own after all. Just explain yourself and have an attitude, and Li Feng didn't want to do this either!

After a long while, Li Feng asked Chen Shijun: "Shijun, have you thought about whether you plan to join Google to continue managing YouTube after the acquisition is completed, or stay in Fengrui to do other things, but it is definitely not YouTube. , or do you have any plans for what you want to do in the future?"

Chen Shijun didn't think about this question. After thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "In the future? I haven't thought about it. I thought I would stay on YouTube for the rest of my life... Everything I have now is given by you. Since you chose to leave, I also choose to leave!

After the official handover is over, I plan to rest for a while. If you still want me, I still plan to stay in Fengrui, but I don't know what else I can do? "

"That's fine, you take a rest first, walk around and have a look, if you want to start your own business, I will still support you to start a business, you know I support employees to start a business,

If you want to stay in Fengrui, I happen to be planning to set up a branch of Fengrui X Lab in North America. You can do some research in it, which is what you are good at! "Li Feng patted Chen Shijun on the shoulder and said.

"Boss, I'll listen to you. As long as you still want me, I will definitely not leave." Chen Shijun promised.

"Okay, stop being sentimental, you should think of something good, at least after Google acquires YouTube, you are at least a multi-millionaire." Li Feng said.

Although Li Feng pays more attention to the shares, but it is for the capital and the employees. Li Feng is definitely generous. The shares that should be given will not be less at all, and will be given more.
For YouTube’s option reward alone, Li Feng gave Chen Shijun and the management team almost 10% of the shares.

Moreover, after Google acquired YouTube, it means that the shares in Chen Shijun's hands have become really valuable and can be sold at any time.

Chen Shijun is also a grateful person, and he was also grateful: "It's not from you, the boss. Without you, let alone me, it is a question of whether YouTube can develop."

"Okay, don't flatter me, but I still give you my advice. It's better not to sell the shares after the acquisition. It will definitely be worth a lot of money in the future." Li Feng suggested.

"Well, that's for sure. I don't have a girlfriend yet, and I have nothing to do. It's useless to ask for such money. It's better to keep it." Chen Shijun's mood is somewhat better now.

"Okay, take it easy, let's complete the final negotiation together." Li Feng patted Chen Shijun on the shoulder and said.
