Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 504 The first meeting with Page
Larry Page was born in a Jewish family in East Lansing, Michigan, in 1973. His father, Carl Vinson Page, is a Michigan State University computer professor with a doctorate in computer science. His mother, Gloria Page He is also a professor of computer science at Michigan State University, who can be described as a scholarly family.

In 1996, Page entered Stanford University to study. During his doctorate in computer science, Larry Page met Sergey Brin.

In 1996, Page and Brin began to jointly research a search engine called "BackRub". After gradually perfecting this technology in the first half of 1998, the two cooperated to run Google search and rank web pages based on PageRank. A life of cheating.

Although Page has not yet reached the pinnacle of his life, he is a frequent visitor to the Forbes rich list with a net worth of about 140 billion U.S. dollars, and his influence in the American Internet circle is still very high.

The place where Jiang Hui met Page was a private room in Bianyifang, and he took this opportunity to let Laomei appreciate the deliciousness of Imperial Roast Duck.

"Jiang, it's really not easy to see you," Paige said jokingly when they met.

"Haha~ how come, I am basically in the imperial capital, you are welcome to come to me at any time, I invite you to eat all kinds of Chinese delicacies."

American food culture does not pay attention to refinement, pursues convenience and convenience, and is not luxurious, but rather popular.

The foods that Americans come into contact with the most in daily life, such as hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, noodles with sauce, tacos, sandwiches, hot dogs, and French fries, are all imported from Western European countries in the early days, such as steaks and lamb chops. Pork chops, pork chops, and fish steaks were not the first foods invented in the United States, so many people judge them with strict eyes and strict standards, and think that these are not American dishes.

Undoubtedly, Americans all admit that European cuisine is the ancestor of American cuisine. American cuisine uses European cuisine as its "root", and then after its own cultivation, sprouts and grows branches and leaves, it gradually thrives and establishes its own main body.

"Haha, I like Chinese cuisine the most, especially the Imperial City Roast Duck. I will definitely find you for dinner when I come to the Imperial City."

The roast duck was served very quickly, maybe it's just like doing in the Romans, Paige and Jiang Hui chatted while eating, instead of eating and sleeping without talking.

"Google is one of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley, and its current market value is also very high. I wonder how you see Google's future?"

"Innovation is the future of Google, not just maintaining the existing utility. Many companies will reduce their investment in research and development once they start to make a profit. It is true that it is very easy to do what you are familiar with. However, past experience tells We, once we stop innovating, are very likely to be surpassed by others," Page said.

"Therefore, to manage a new type of Internet company like Google, what is needed is not only to carry forward the existing products, but more importantly, to continuously invest in and encourage the company's product research and development, so that the company can open up more new directions," Page said. continued.

Judging from the development of Google in later generations, it is indeed constantly innovating and exploring new directions.Whether it is "Google Glass" or AI technology, Google has its own uniqueness.On the contrary, Tianchao's Du Niang is not as good as Google in this regard, and the gap between the two is getting wider and wider.

"In terms of innovation and pioneering new directions, my understanding and yours are consistent with Page. We have a saying in China called Heroes see the same thing, let's have a toast."

Jiang Hui's words probably stumped Page's translation, "heroes see the same thing", he really doesn't know what English to use to say it better, so he had to simply translate it into the great Ren's Thoughts are all connected.

In fact, Jiang Hui's English level is not bad, especially in reading and writing, and there is no problem in listening, but his speaking is a little weak.

Since the conversation with Page may involve cooperation between companies, Jiang Hui did not want to put himself at a disadvantage in the conversation due to language reasons, so he spoke in Chinese throughout.

Jiang Hui spoke in Chinese, and Tang Wenwen and Fang Dawen, who accompanied the guests, could only speak Chinese, although their English was very good.

Anyway, there is a translation.

"Innovation is important, but innovation without commercialization is meaningless. I don't know if you know that Xerox Palo Alto Research Center is a well-known company that focuses on big ideas and innovation. It has contributed Many innovations, but ultimately failed due to poor commercialization. I think this kind of innovation is meaningless,” Page said after drinking a glass of red wine.

"Google and Guanghui Group are the same as the industry leaders, but this also means that each has a bunch of competitors. How do you view competitors?".

"In the face of competition, I think the motivation of the company is very important. Instead of focusing on competitors, making the same products to compete with him, to protect themselves, it is better to research new and interesting things. Make yourself more alive."

Page's answer surprised Jiang Hui and took it for granted.

Surprisingly, in the face of competition, most companies think about how to completely get rid of their competitors in this field; I take it for granted that, as a Google executive, there is this kind of arrogance, and they will not relax when they look for their own development path Only with the characteristics of Google can it develop to the scale of later generations.

"Google's original mission—to organize the world's information and make it accessible and useful to everyone—was seen as absurd and audacious. Today, that mission still seems a bit narrow. So we're now pursuing more directions , This is also an important reason why I came to you today," Page continued.

When Jiang Hui heard this, he knew that tonight's drama was coming.

"Jiang, you must have guessed it. Yes, I still want to talk to you about Tudou. I always think that Tudou's genes are quite similar to Google. I hope we can have in-depth cooperation opportunities."

"Google is a great company. Google and Apple are two of the most famous companies in the US technology industry. I am very interested in working with Google," Jiang Hui said.

Although Google and Apple are both the most famous companies in the American technology industry, Page and Jobs' innovation methods are completely different.Jobs was a marketing guru, he really liked the product, got the UX details.Page, on the other hand, is a no-nonsense technologist who really likes to dive into science and theory.

Of course, it's hard to say which path was the right one, and both businesses have proven successful.At least before Jiang Hui was reborn, they were all very successful.
