Reborn Millennial Gamer

Haiyiwei Hot Pot Restaurant.

Sergey Brin's eyes wandered, and he kept looking at the celebrity photo wall. The hanging photo frames were embedded with personal photos of Lu Fei, Lu Huateng, Liu Yudong and others, and there were also three photos of Lei Jun, Jeff Bezos and Lu Fei. people group photo...

"Xu, should our photos be hung here too?" Larry Page turned to look at Xu Lei.

"Of course, as long as you are willing, this store is what you wish for, but it's best to wait for Lu to come and let's take a group photo!"

Xu Lei looked at his watch and said: "He has already finished class, he rushed here from school, he will be here soon, let's wait in the box."

"Still in school? Lu Zhen is a diligent student."

Sergey Brin was surprised and raised his eyebrows.

The three of them went straight to the secluded and exquisite private room, with an antique flavor. On the red-lacquered square table under the big red lantern, there was a hot hot pot, mandarin duck soup base, red and white.

Through the open door, you can see in the kitchen surrounded by glass windows, several master chefs are holding meat with long blades, and stacking slices of meat on white porcelain plates.

When the waiter brought all the ingredients together, Lu Fei arrived just in time, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Page, Sergey, I'm glad to finally meet you."

"So do we, Lu."

Larry Page spoke politely.

"Hot pot is a traditional delicacy in China. I often choose to entertain friends here. The taste is not bad." Lu Fei opened a can of Coke, and then rinsed the mutton: "Shoot like this for a few times and then fish it out. Don't boil it for too long. Then dip it and eat it."

Larry Page had never used chopsticks before. After trying for a long time, he finally managed to pick up a piece of mutton. While chewing, he said, "emm, emm, wow, it's very tender and smooth, and the dipping sauce is also great."

Sergey Brin is relatively proficient and has no taboos. He eats mutton with bright eyes and eats beef with praises, but it is not as good as hairy belly. One piece after another, he can't stop:

"Lu, what the hell is this? It's so chewy!"

Lu Fei grinned, "The stomach of a cow."

Larry Page's complexion changed instantly, his stomach was overwhelmed, and then he exhaled, thankful that he didn't eat.

"Oh my god! We're actually eating animal offal!"

Sergey Brin paused, staring blankly at the hairy belly held by the chopsticks, and the dipping material dripped down.

"Hey, don't you guys also eat caviar and foie gras, don't they just taste good?" Xu Lei put down half a plate of duck blood.

"Really delicious."

Sergey Brin swallowed his saliva, but still couldn't help but take a bite, just sipping a Coke, feeling happy.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "Peppa, do you want to try?"

"No, Lu, thank you, I'll do it myself."

Larry Page shook his head embarrassingly but politely, and muttered to himself that even if I was starved to death, I would not eat these offal if I jumped from here.

"Larry, you should try it, it's delicious!"

Sergey Brin seems to have opened a new door.

Larry Page rolled his eyes, and kicked his partner under the table calmly, "Ahem, Lu, let's talk about something else, I heard that Penguin is acquiring a video site called 'Youtube'? "

"Yes."

Lu Fei chewed the sweet and sour meat, "The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved the acquisition and merger of our two companies, and we still need the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of China."

"Lu, do you think video will be the next outlet of the Internet?" Larry Page's eyes flickered.

Seeing Lu Fei nod his head, Sergey Brin showed a smiling face: "Hey, you have thought of something with us, and Larry and I also think that Internet videos are very profitable."

"The better the outlook, the greater the risk."

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "The UCG model like YouTube contains complicated copyright issues, which will definitely bring endless troubles to Penguin. In the future, we can only take one step forward and watch one step. Why, you are also interested in YouTube? "

Larry Page waved his hand: "No, don't get me wrong, Google has its own video search service. 2 years ago, Sergey and I jointly published an article internally, considering how web news and broadcast news make connections between them.”

"Google video is our answer."

Sergey Brin is simmering mutton: "In the future, thousands of TV programs can be provided every day, and we have also developed a new technology of 'metadata', users only need to enter keywords in the search bar , you can find the associated video database, doesn’t it sound cool?”

Heh, the co-author is a video client!
Lu Fei realized that he and Youtube were not on the same track at all, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Maybe it will be a great start again, I should be thankful that Youtube is not your enemy, and you and I can make peace with each other." It's expensive."

"Yes, that's right!"

Larry Page touched Coca-Cola with him, took a sip and said, "So if YouTube needs to cooperate with search engines, just contact Google, we are willing to help."

Lu Fei said politely: "You know I will, thank you."

Sergey Brin laughed, "No, let's help each other, just like this time we plan to enter China, and I hope Lu, you can help Google like you helped Amazon."

"Of course there is no problem. China has always insisted on an open policy, but one thing is very important. The United States has American laws, and China has China's rules. Google has to abide by them honestly."

Lu Fei smacked his lips, Baidu and Penguin’s succession of listing miracles completely ignited the concept of China, and Chinese concept stocks are now hot again on Wall Street. Many European and American companies want to use the concept of China to raise their stock prices.

"We will."

Larry Page made a strong promise, but the conversation suddenly changed, and his tone was embarrassing: "But before that, I want to ask you to do Google a little favor."

"You say, I listen."

Lu Fei picked up a piece of shrimp slip and put it in his mouth.

Sergey Brin put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a hot towel, and said that Li Kaifu, the vice president of Microsoft, had jumped to Google to serve as the president of the China region. Unexpectedly, Microsoft had such a big reaction, and he took Li Kaifu and Google to the court in a rage , officially started the war.

Lu Fei said: "I heard Ballmer mention this matter, he was very angry, as if this 'Li' violated the non-compete agreement, right?"

"No, that's not the case at all."

Sergey Brin denied it, saying that Microsoft accused Li Kaifu of revealing business secrets to Google.

"Hey, the water in here looks very deep."

Xu Lei touched Lu Fei with his elbow, and said softly, "Can you grasp it? If you can't, don't agree. It's not a good job to help."

"I have my measure."

The corner of his mouth raised, "How do you want me to help you?"

Larry Page said: "Ballmer does not allow Lee to work at Google. This is unacceptable to us. He is a key figure in Google's entry into China. We cannot lose him, so I hope you can stand up as a middleman and help us. Mediation."

What the fuck?

Xu Lei looked left and right in disbelief, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Fei's face, blinking non-stop.

Can be a peacemaker for Microsoft and Google!
That's great, my hooligan!Awesome, my hooligan!

Lu Fei was not greedy for fame, and he picked up the food without saying a word.

Every move fell into the eyes of Larry Page, as if expected, he secretly said:

"Lu, I don't know if you heard in the United States that Yahoo is going to hand over all of its assets in China to Ari Baba?"

Lu Fei smiled and said, "Yahoo actually approached me at first, but I refused."

Larry Page was amazed, "It seems that Ah Li Baba is second only to your Feigou.com in China's e-commerce field, right? If you do this, don't you directly push Yahoo to your opponent?"

Sergey Brin was surprised and suspicious, "Yeah, you and I both know that e-commerce is inseparable from search engines, but it doesn't matter, although Aribaba has Yahoo, we are willing to stand by your side and deal with them together."

Lu Fei immediately understood that this was a reward for asking him to be a peacemaker, but he didn't care at all, shrugged and said:
"Sergey, you are half right. Search engines and e-commerce are actually complementary, and search engines are also inseparable from the huge traffic of e-commerce, so we joined Baidu, and Baidu won Yahoo. We joined Sogou, and Sogou also If we win, whichever search company we join, any company can win Yahoo, and Google is the same."

The implication is that it's not that I need you, it's that you really need me so much!
"All right."

Larry Page saw that his price was not in line with others' wishes. After a moment of silence, he asked him very interestingly what he wanted.

Lu Fei said bluntly: "It's very simple, I want some talents who are responsible for Google AdWords."

"what?!"

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, and their faces became solemn, just like Li Kaifu would be furious when Microsoft was poached, and Google is the same. People who dig keyword advertising alliances are tantamount to digging their lifeblood.

"Don't worry, I haven't done it yet, otherwise I won't tell you openly. I won't be greedy to dig Larry King. I just want people in this area. Youtube's advertising sharing system needs them, because Google is the most expert in it. of!"

Lu Fei blinked, "And this is a very good deal, isn't it? Ballmer is mad at you for poaching important people in Microsoft's layout in China without saying a word. If I do this, it is equivalent to venting his anger on him." .”

If you want to poach my people, why should I thank you?

The corner of Larry Page's mouth twitched slightly. I thought Bill Gates and Ballmer were shameless enough, but I didn't expect Lu Fei to be even more shameless. I have never seen such a shameless person!
"But if you poach people, what can Microsoft get?"

Sergey Brin didn't care about Lu Fei's "shameless" remarks. Capitalists have a flexible bottom line. If you want to be shameless, why should you be a capitalist?
“We are likely to set up a 100%-owned oil pipeline subsidiary in the United States, and we may invite Microsoft to join us, or we may invite you Google.”

Lu Fei took a sip of Coke, "Of course this is not your bargaining chip. You still have to make some concessions during the mediation. I won't let Microsoft suffer, and I won't let you suffer either."

Larry Page was very embarrassed, "Lu, I'm glad you can be so frank, but to be an executive at AdWords, you have a lot of Google's business secrets..."

Lu Fei said: "This can continue to be discussed, we are good friends, aren't we?"

"Yes, we're friends, but..."

Sergey Brin's eyes showed fear.

Lu Fei threw out the bait: "Since we are friends, this time Google will enter China, as the host, I will give you an idea, which will definitely fire the first shot."

Larry Page was full of curiosity: "What idea!"

Lu Fei said: "I have many identities, but maybe you don't know, I am still a domain name merchant, and my first venture capital was earned from domain names."

I know, I know all too well.

Larry Page sneered coldly, "Lu, our 'google.cn' is still in your hands. If Microsoft hadn't sued Li, he would have come to you to buy this domain name. Since you have already asked, why don't you buy it now?" Make an offer, and we'll buy it!"

"No, I will." Lu Fei waved his hand.

"deliver?!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, especially Xu Lei, with a dull face. Is this the master Lu who should hang street lights in my impression?
"Yes, it is to send."

What Lu Fei said was categorical, but he changed the subject and said, “Get one, get one free”, but this “free” is a “free” of “buy one, get one free”, and Google has to pay to buy a domain name from him.

"Why do we have 2 domain names?"

Sergey Brin was scratching his head.

"This domain name is unusual, it is 'g.cn'."

Lu Fei raised a mysterious smile, and patiently explained that 'google.cn' just realized the localization of Google's domain name, which was sparse and ordinary and had no publicity value, but after Google had worked in China for a year or two, it suddenly replaced it with 'g.cn'. cn' is a complete gimmick.

After all, the fewer words, the bigger things.

"Lu, how much do you want to sell?"

Sergey Brin is not only a big-haired immigrant, but also a Jew. He has an innate talent for business operations. He quickly understood his promotion strategy and quite recognized it in his heart.

"One million dollars."

Lu Fei stretched out 4 fingers.

"Huh, I thought it was 4000 million."

Larry Page ate a mouthful of meat, his face softened slightly.

Lu Fei spread his hands: "I don't know how to open my mouth like a lion, but 1111 million is really not expensive, it's all because we are friends."

Seventy-eight million yuan for a broken domain name, how expensive is it?

Xu Lei smacked his lips and was speechless for a while.

"Well, it's not expensive. After all, we bought the domain name from you." Larry Page understood. According to later generations, Master Lu is a top-notch existence in China, and he can have a huge impact if he gets involved. exposure.

Just like Amazon's acquisition of Excellence through his hands, it was also a sensation and slammed Amazon's brand.

But Google's entry into China is just news, it's big news that Google bought a domain name from Lu Fei, and it's big news that the domain name is still bought at a high price.

1111 million US dollars, including Master Lu's advertising money!

"So, are you happy to work together?"

Lu Fei held up the Coke.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin made eye contact for a while, and they both picked up Coke and clinked glasses: "Happy cooperation!"

But then, Larry Page added distressedly: "Lu, I hope you don't dig too hard."

"We are friends. There is a saying in Huaxia, 'Be a human being and stay on the front line, so we can meet each other in the future', don't worry."

Lu Fei laughed loudly, Xu Lei, who had been watching, opened his mouth wide and couldn't help blurting out: "A Fei, you are awesome!"

Sergey Brin followed up: "Awesome?"

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, awesome! Niubi means very good."

"Oh, very good!"

Sergey Brin pointed to the tripe and gave a thumbs up, "The stomach is awesome."

"This is not the most awesome. There are also duck intestines, goose intestines, pig blood, and pig brains. You will definitely like these more."

Lu Fei smiled. It is very intuitive to say these words in English. Duck intestines, goose intestines, pig blood, pig brains...

"No~"

Larry Page's three views collapsed, and his stomach was overwhelmed and he wanted to vomit.

Sergey Brin was speechless: "Are these things really edible?"

"You can try it." Lu Fei took a piece of pig's blood.

Sergey Brin took a sip and gave a thumbs up again: "It's awesome! Larry, try it quickly, it's delicious."

Larry Page's eyes were full of murderous intent. Just as he was about to yell out "fuxk", he found an opportunity to stuff a piece of tripe into it as a prank, and instantly felt a sense of vomiting in his throat.

But after chewing a few times in his mouth, his eyes lit up: "Niu (really) awesome (fragrant)!"

"Yeah, Larry, awesome."

Sergey Brin laughed: "Try this again."

Larry Page asked curiously: "Why do you call 'very good' awesome?"

Xu Lei said with a smile: "Nubi means awesome B, don't you think it's super big?"

"What! You still eat cows..."

Larry Page's face suddenly turned pale. What kind of monsters are the Huaxia people? Do they dare to eat anything?
