The next morning, Larry Page took the contract he had negotiated with Lu Yiming and hurriedly flew back to the United States. Now Google is still in a difficult entrepreneurial period. As the founder of the company, he has no time to rest at all.

.

Los Angeles International Airport ranks sixth among the ten worst airports in North America. Whether it is the complete lack of clear signs in the departure area or the arrogant and unreasonable attitude of the staff, passengers coming and going cannot help but give them the middle finger.

Everyone who lives in California has experienced how terrible the service here is.

After getting off the plane, Larry Page saw the desolation around him, recalled the prosperity of Xiangjiang, and suddenly felt an unreal feeling.

According to media reports, the United States, the richest, most advanced, most civilized, and freest country, has such a backward airport. There are piles of weeds around the airport, and the terminal building is short and dilapidated with peeling paint and cracks.

On the other hand, at Xiangjiang Airport, the planes are shining brightly, and everything as far as the eye can see is high-rise buildings. Even the terminals are all brand new. The floors are so smooth that people's shadows can be reflected, and even the various markings on the apron are white.

Like jade, extremely clean.

Who is the poor and backward one?

Walking out of the terminal, Larry Page was filled with emotion. Looking at the few hurried passengers around him, he actually missed the prosperity of Xiangjiang.

Sergey Brin drove a brand-new Dodge and appeared at the airport gate. When he saw his friend returning safely, he happily waved his arms to say hello.

After Larry Page got in the car, he couldn't help but be curious and asked eagerly: "Didn't I tell you to just treat it as a vacation? Why don't you play for a few more days? Is it too poor there?

Now, there’s no place to play?”

Larry Page collapsed on the passenger seat exhausted, and said feebly: "No, Xiangjiang is more prosperous and developed than you and I imagined. I feel that many places are more fascinating than Los Angeles. As for tourism...etc.

I'm retired and have plenty of time to go out and play, but it's not the time yet. Come back to the company quickly, we have to start working as soon as possible."

Sergey Brin shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "You are really a workaholic. You just got the money, and you can't wait."

Sergey Brin was driving his car and had just left the airport and was about to get on the highway when he suddenly noticed a black Ford Raptor roaring past them, scaring Sergey Brin into a cold sweat.

.

"It's so dangerous. If I drive faster, the two of us may not see the sun tomorrow."

Immediately afterwards, sirens sounded from far away, and several police cars with flashing lights of various colors chased after them. The sound of gunshots was so loud that it made people's scalp numb.

The most unfortunate thing is that the Dodge parked at the intersection was hit by a stray bullet. The right headlight was directly smashed, and dozens of grooves were made on the hood. Sparks flew everywhere. Even the front windshield was hit.

It was broken. Sergey Brin and Larry Page were so frightened that their palms were sweating. They quickly turned off the car, and then squatted under the seat shivering with their heads in their hands.

After a while, until the gunshots could no longer be heard, the two of them dared to step forward to investigate the surrounding situation.

Hearing the rapid sound of the horn coming from behind, Sergey Brin quickly started the ignition and drove towards home with lingering fear.

He was afraid that if he moved a little slower, the grumpy guy driving behind him would pull out an AK47 and press it against his head.

When he got home, looking at the broken headlights, the hood covered with scratches from various stray bullets, and the front windshield that was as torn as a spider web, Sergey Brin cursed with red eyes: "This is...

I just bought a new car last month! These damn federal

Police, can't they aim a little bit? The security situation in California is terrible. There are more and more Moxigo people here, and they are all extremely vicious. Now almost every week we encounter one or two waves of bank robbers and highway robbers.

Patrol officers were fighting in the streets."

Larry Page also had lingering fears: "That Mr. Lu joked with me, saying that we are a free America and have gun battles every day. I thought he was exaggerating before, but now I think he was right. When I was in Xiangjiang

, I can walk freely on the street without having to worry about people around me suddenly pulling out a gun and shooting me in the head.”

Sergey Brin continued to scold: "I really don't understand why those trash on Capitol Hill just refuse to ban guns. What kind of trash did our votes go to? What happened to America?"

Larry Page said firmly: "Let's not discuss these topics. When we make money, maybe we should consider immigrating to a safer place, at least leaving this dangerous country!"

Back in the garage, Larry Page took out the contract and showed it to Sergey Brin, and then talked about the exchanges with Lu Yiming in the past few days.

Although Sergey Brin already had a general idea on the phone, but now that Larry Page is dictating it in person, it naturally feels different.

"Are you really planning to let this Xia man get involved in your career?"

Larry Page corrected: "It's our business! Didn't I mention it to you before?"

Sergey Brin still looked puzzled: "You did say you wanted to find a collaborator in Xia Guo, but why is it Mr. Lu? In Xiangjiang alone, there are many excellent partners, such as

The new richest man in Asia, Li Chaoren, is very influential in the Xia mainland and is a guest of many powerful people."

Obviously, in Sergey Brin's view, Lu Yiming is by no means the best partner to work with. There are too many rich people who are richer than him and have more connections than him.

Larry Page shook his head when he heard this: "This is not a matter of money, we need Mr. Lu, he can point the way for Google's future. To be honest, he is a magical young man from Xiaguo, although he looks quite young

, is even still in high school, but he is so talented that he has become a billionaire from scratch, and his vision is first-rate. He even told me how Google can start making profits."

Sergey Brin still has doubts about this: "Even so, as long as you refuse, you can get five million US dollars for free! Now, he has bought Google's shares for five million US dollars!"

Selling their shares means the two have less control over Google.

Larry Page has always attached great importance to his control of Google. After all, Gang Leader Qiao's lessons learned from his mistakes really made them, fellow entrepreneurs, deeply uneasy.

No one wants to be kicked out of the company they founded. This is not only a matter of losing money, but also a shame.

But this time, Larry Page's attitude was extremely resolute. He shook his head slightly and said: "Don't be greedy for this small profit. Don't forget where our hyperlink analysis technology came from."

Reminded by this sentence, Sergey Brin thought of a certain Asian genius named Robin in English that he met in a letter search company.

We are all engaged in search engines and belong to the same industry, so everyone in the circle is no stranger to each other.

In fact, Google's search engine has borrowed a lot of Robin Li's hyperlink analysis technology. Everyone combines mathematics and information science to analyze various phenomena such as the properties of network links, link objects, link networks, etc., and finally obtain

Specific quantitative characteristics and internal laws.

Although Robin Li applied for a patent for himself, patents have always only protected technology, not ideas.

So Google borrowed Robin Li's technology, and the other party had no choice but to watch.

But the opposite is also true!

The better Google develops, Robin Li, who has the same technology, will be able to follow the path that Google has taken and become a strong industry competitor.

Larry Page is not a short-sighted person, so he saw this possibility, so he looked at Sergey Brin seriously: "Listen to me, man, Mr. Lu is a genius, and we may not need him."

Money, but we absolutely need his brains and intelligence. If Google turns him down, then maybe our enemies will get him, and trust me, you don't want that."

Google is not the only company making search engines. For example, Yahoo, which is now in full swing, has a department that is also conducting related research and development.

In addition, there are smaller counterparts such as Soxin.

When it comes to technical strength, Google may have an advantage, but what America lacks most is genius, and they are not invincible.

Larry Page's brain is quite sober: "MR Lu can easily think of using bidding ranking to solve Google's profit problems. Who knows how many wonderful ideas are hidden in his genius mind? He and I

After talking for a long time, I realized that he still had reservations about Google. Therefore, I specially included a clause in the contract. After Mr. Lu invested in our Google company, he could not continue to invest in other search engine companies, otherwise I would own his shares.

The right to compulsory repurchase at the transaction price.”

After hearing this, Sergey Brin couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You are really a shrewd guy."

In the end, Sergey Brin was finally persuaded by Larry Page and accepted the decision to let Lu Yiming become a Google shareholder.

Although it is a pity to "lose" five million US dollars, if it can reduce Google's potential strong enemy, it will be worth it.

What the two are most worried about now is that if Lu Yiming cannot get the benefits he wants from Google, he will most likely choose to invest in Google's competitors.

At least Li Robin, who invented the hyperlink analysis technology, is a pure Xia nationality. The two naturally have a good basis for cooperation, and this must be guarded against.

If Lu Yiming invests in Robin Li's business and provides advice to the other party, then Google will be in big trouble.

The two guessed correctly. Soon after, Robin Li would choose to return to Xia State to start a business and founded a search engine company named Baidu.

At this time, the night in Xiangjiang was misty and the sea breeze was blowing.

Lu Yiming stood on the balcony and called his cousin Li Yiwen, and casually talked about signing a contract with Google.

Li Yiwen was happy at first, then a little depressed: "I have been working hard with those guys here for more than half a month, but there was no progress at all. Why did you get it done in two days?"

Lu Yiming smiled calmly: "These are just basic operations. I, the big boss behind the scenes, have personally taken action. Isn't it natural to win Google?"

Thinking of his cousin's abilities, Li Yiwen soon felt relieved, and then talked about his return journey: "Now that I say that, the task you gave me has basically come to an end, so can I return to China?"

Lu Yiming laughed: "What? Are you uncomfortable living in the United States, the base camp of capitalism? There are countless people in China thinking about going to the United States day and night to clean dishes and sweep the streets. Are you still not satisfied with the good food and drinks in the United States?

"

Li Yiwen complained unceremoniously: "The discrimination here is too serious. The Moxigos and Blacks on the street are very unfriendly to us Asians. Especially the security here in California is simply speechless. Every day.

I could see gangsters fighting with guns on the streets. The scene was more exciting than what I saw in the movies. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so it would be safer to go back to China."

Poor people want to go abroad because they have no money.

And Li Yiwen is now financially free. He can live a comfortable life no matter where he is. Naturally, he doesn't want to live in a place where everyone has a gun. He has to carry bodyguards and ride in bulletproof cars when he goes out.

De was too frightened.

If these words were heard by those who want to be the lighthouse of America, they would probably be so angry that they would fight Li Yiwen to stop him from slandering their spiritual motherland.

But Lu Yiming knew that what Li Yiwen said was absolutely true, even because he was too rich and had never experienced the miserable life of the middle- and lower-class people in the United States.

Especially when living in California, many people at the bottom of society do nothing but take drugs and have gunfights every day. Life is so exciting. People who are used to a comfortable life in China really can't accept this kind of life.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but joked: "I thought you didn't want to come back after you went out. It seems that the indulgence of capitalism has not corrupted you, which is good."

When Li Yiwen heard this, he immediately became happy and asked with joy: "So, I can return to China?"

However, Lu Yiming broke his dream: "I'm afraid it's not possible yet. Although the Google matter has been settled, I have thought of a new matter and I still need you to personally handle it."

Hearing that he could not return to China, Li Yiwen became depressed. But thinking that he was relying on Lu Yiming to make a living here, he had no choice.

He sighed dejectedly: "Tell me, how are you going to use me this time?"

Lu Yiming smiled and comforted: "How can this be said to be ordering you? I just plan to let you make a lot of money. You said you are a wage earner now, don't you want to learn how to be a qualified worker?

Capitalist?"

Li Yiwen nodded firmly without hesitation: "I think."

Everyone is criticizing capitalists, but everyone wants to become a capitalist.

This is probably because love gives rise to hatred. If you don't get love, you will naturally hold a grudge and gnash your teeth.
