Chapter 53 Dual-line Operation

From a technical perspective, Robin has never worried about not investing.

According to the original historical trajectory, his current company Infoseek will soon be acquired by Disney. After being acquired by Disney, he decided to return to China to start a business.

After making this decision alone, DFJ was willing to invest $2.6 million in him.

Nine months later, DFJ and IDG gave Baidu an additional US$10 million.

Even if Robin hasn't started talking to investors yet, he knows the value of the technology he has.

"How was your chat with Newman today?" Robin's wife is also a talented person. Like Zhou Xin, she graduated from the junior class of Huaguo University of Science and Technology. After graduating from the undergraduate program at the age of 19 and going abroad, she received a PhD in biology in New Jersey.

Robin replied: "I didn't see anything. He expressed his willingness to invest in me, and made it clear that he was willing to invest in me even if I planned to stay in Silicon Valley to start a business.

It’s just that the other party said that in the newly established company, I must use the patent to become a shareholder.”

Robin paused for a moment and continued: "I still haven't decided whether to return to China or stay in Silicon Valley.

There is too much competition pressure to stay in Silicon Valley. If I return to China, I am confident that I will definitely be number one in China from a technical perspective."

It's as if Robin only cares about technology and not operations.

Including being left behind in the mobile Internet era, people will talk about Baidu but not Robin.

(flash released in 1995)

Sergey Brin's introversion is in front of outsiders, and being introverted does not mean he talks less.

Do you feel that you are not doing your job at Infoseek?

Now that someone is willing to invest in you, why worry about gains and losses again?

Moreover, it is only your own subjective opinion that you can attract investment when you return to China. In fact, those investors are just hinting at you."

In addition, Cao Yongluo also went abroad for exchange, so Li Li and Wang Wei just enjoyed a world of two.

But Zhou Xin doesn't know Robin's specific character, so there will definitely be a deviation between the image created by the media and his true image.

Even if you fail, it will not affect your future return to China to start a business.

China has always had a tradition of worshiping academic qualifications. Even after turning its attention to money in the 1980s, there is still no lack of academic worship. The current academic worship is even more severe with the worship of academic qualifications from top foreign universities.

"Judging from his past achievements, Newman is a very typical Silicon Valley person.

There is no contradiction between the two.”

Originally, according to the usual practice, other students would move to the space vacated by Zhou Xin's transfer.

A big problem with rebirth is that one's own subjective consciousness will be grafted onto others.

His business understanding is based on understanding our technical level.

Contrary to what Zhou Xin thought, Zhou Xin thought that because Bezos voted, Bezos was unwilling to let him have a hand in the Google project.

When we were looking for people to invest in the past, we had to go out of our way to describe to them what Google’s advantages were.

You must know that the $20 genuine "Angry Birds" has sold over 10,000 copies in China.

Even Zhou Xin's roommates at YSU were looked at in a different light because of this.

Moreover, he has an alumni relationship with you, so you can use the start-up capital he gives you to start a business in Silicon Valley.

In fact, Bezos' investment ratio has no impact at all on whether Google will accept his investment.

Observing the public opinion situation on the Internet in China, we can also see some clues. When it comes to Baidu, most of them are Baidu doing evil, and PPC advertisements are flying all over the sky, but few people will point the finger at Robin.

From a purely capabilities perspective, Robin has no problem at all in the Web1.0 or even Web2.0 era.

Later, Baidu fell behind also starting from the mobile Internet.

Under the dual halo, and New Oriental needs Zhou Xin to advertise their study abroad career, it is no exaggeration to describe Zhou Xin as a household name in China.

I think Google is a huge treasure, and I think others think so too.

Quickly captured our and Yahoo's strengths.

Newman not only knows the business well, but also our technology.

Not to mention that Zhou Xin went to a top university in China.

But communicating with Newman does not require these redundant steps, and he can even capture business value that we have not discovered.

Just don’t be so anxious to reply to him, wait a few days and then talk.”

Leveraging on Zhou Xin's reputation, New Oriental's study abroad business has conquered first- and second-tier cities.

Ma Dongmin watched clearly: “Does starting a business in Amerikan influence your return to China to start a business?

From the perspective of raising funds, Newman is a good endorsement candidate.

Whether it is transferring an undergraduate degree from Yan University to Berkeley for a direct Ph.D., or starting a business with a net worth exceeding one billion U.S. dollars, either of these two things is remarkable from a worldly perspective.

If I were to judge him, he is a born entrepreneur."

Introverts are often very perceptive and able to detect more details.

I think he would be a good investor, and I think we can accept his investment.

Why you can invest in Google.

We even made a flash animation when we went to raise our first investment.

Within Yanda, various people, from classmates to teachers to reporters from outside, often come to ask them about Zhou Xin's deeds.

When I met him this time, he did not show much innovation, but showed a keen sense of smell in the business field.

Last year, Wang Qiang chose Zhou Xin as the spokesperson for New Oriental to study abroad, and Yu Minhong directly raised the price from 50,000 to 100,000. This matter has been talked about within New Oriental.

Robin thought for a long time, mainly because Zhou Xinyan's status as a university alumnus and his past fame played a role.

The spirit of innovation runs through his products.

"What do you think of Newman?" While Robin and his wife were discussing, Sergey Brin and Larry Page were also discussing.

After Robin received his master's degree in computer science, he worked first on Wall Street and then in Silicon Valley. These two places are considered to be the most prosperous areas in America.

Just relying on this alone, I can afford to stay in Yanjing Hotel for more than 20 meals.

Zhou Xin's reputation in China at this time was even more popular than that of the Harvard girl in the original time and space.

After finishing speaking, Ma Dongmin also paused, then stood up and looked at Robin: "Didn't you always feel that your talent was underappreciated before?

This is definitely a top-notch PR level to protect Robin's personal image.

However, because Zhou Xin's rise was so fast, no one could stay in the dormitory that Zhou Xin had vacated.

Ma Dongmin obviously does not want to return to China, nor does he want to be separated from Robin.

When Zhou Xin communicated with Robin, he had no other requirements. He believed in Robin's ability.

Larry Page nodded and said: "I agree with your point of view.

And the Google project is just a trivial project for Bezos at the moment.

Moreover, only academia can provide jobs with a high enough matching degree when returning to China with a biology Ph.D., while the industry either provides poor remuneration or low job matching.

After Zhou Xin finished chatting with Robin and Larry Page, he put most of his energy into reading the paper.

The main reason is that ISSCC is coming soon.

There is another chapter that may be updated tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm procrastinating again and it's really numb...
Chapter completed!
