Chapter 1,146 Going public with Google

Robin Li asked Lam Feng when the company was planning to go public. Lam Feng already had the answer to this question.

"Mr. Li, which company do you think will go public this year?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Robin Li was stunned. He didn't care much about this and had never studied it. After all, he was in IT, not finance. Therefore, he had never paid attention to what companies would go public every year. Therefore, Lin Feng asked,

He was still a little confused as Monk Zhang Er. However, Lin Feng usually spoke with a very clear purpose and was by no means casual talk.

When does Lin Feng want the company to go public? - Robin Li murmured in his heart, desperately searching for the little financial knowledge in his mind. After a long time, Robin Li was surprised. This year he knew that a company was about to go public, and this company

, this company is - Google, the company that ranks first in the world's search engine market and occupies an absolute market share, and is also the most powerful opponent of "Baidu Portal".

Could it be that Lin Feng wants to go public on the same day as "Google"? - Thinking of this possibility, Robin Li broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. If this is true, Lin Feng is too fierce. It's just two companies competing, Lin Feng

To actually want to go public on the same day as "Google" is a naked provocation, and it is definitely the kind of provocation that will never stop. In this way, the two companies will turn from competitors to outright enemies.

Yes, they are enemies! You know, in the business world, there are always competitors, and there are rarely real mortal enemies. Because as the saying goes, there is no guarantee that one day the two parties will not cooperate for certain interests. Therefore, usually

Competition between companies is competition, and few people really break up with each other. Just like Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola, although they are competitors, when Coca-Cola employees are willing to reveal the formula of Coca-Cola to Pepsi-Cola, Pepsi-Cola instead helps Coca-Cola seize

The "ghost".

Therefore, most of the time, no company is willing to really offend a company to death. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Ellison, a lunatic. If he dislikes someone, he will offend them all at once, without giving both parties the possibility of relief.

, not at all possible.

Now Lin Feng's move also pushes "Baidu Portal" and "Google" into complete opposition and irreconcilable opposition.

"What, Mr. Li, do you think we can still reconcile with 'Google'?" Lin Feng heard Robin Li's hesitation from his breathing.

When Robin Li heard this, his breath tightened and he didn't know what to say. It is true that "Baidu Portal" and "Google" have become absolute competitors, and it is almost impossible to reconcile the two sides, but Robin Li still does not want "Baidu Portal" and "Google" to

So opposite, even listing on the same day. If two identical companies go public on the same day, there are only two consequences, either "Baidu Portal" completely overwhelms "Google", or "Google" completely overwhelms "Baidu Portal"

.

This is too risky! - Robin Li said in his heart.

"Mr. Li, I know what you are thinking. I'm afraid you think that 'Baidu Portal' is not yet a competitor to 'Google'. Going public on the same day will cause financing difficulties for 'Baidu Portal'!" Lin Feng said lightly.

Robin Li nodded and responded. Indeed, although Robin Li originally shouted the slogan of surpassing "Google", it was a catharsis of accumulated emotions and did not mean that he really believed that "Baidu Portal" could surpass "Google".

In everything he has done recently, Robin Li has more of a mentality of challenging "Google" rather than confronting "Google" on an equal footing. Lam Feng wants to list two companies at the same time, just to tell the world that now

"Baidu Portal" has the strength and status to compete head-on with "Google".

And this is exactly what Robin Li lacks, and what all employees of "Baidu Portal" lack. They don't think that "Baidu Portal" can really surpass "Google", they just think that they tried and worked hard, but failed.

This is normal, after all, even "Microsoft" and "Yahoo" cannot shake "Google", and the failure of "Baidu Portal" challenge is nothing.

Lin Feng is extremely dissatisfied with this kind of sentiment. It is true that "Baidu Portal" cannot compete with "Google" now, but it is because of this that all the employees of "Baidu Portal" are desperate to risk their lives.

Otherwise, you will never be able to defeat "Google" with the attitude of being normal when you lose and happy when you win. Lin Feng asked the company to go public on the same day as "Google" because he wanted to tell everyone at "Baidu Portal" that they

There is no way out.

One step to heaven, one step to hell. If you want to enter heaven, then use all your strength to defeat "Google", otherwise you can only wait to go to hell.

"I understand, boss! Don't worry, we will definitely be able to defeat 'google' this time." Robin Li's tone revealed extremely firm determination. Even if the future is full of thorns, Robin Li will not waver in his determination to defeat "google" again.

, because when Lin Feng made this decision, "Baidu Portal" had no way out.

Hearing Robin Li's resolute voice, Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if Robin Li and others lack confidence, then facing the strength of "Google", no matter how hard they try, it will be useless. This is not something that can be solved by one person.

This requires collective efforts and everyone's efforts.

After hanging up the phone with Robin Li, Lin Feng began to contact Jerry Yang of "Yahoo".

"Mr. Yang, how are you doing lately?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Previously, due to the problem of "3721 Chinese Network", Lin Feng had contact with Yang Zhiyuan of "Yahoo". At that time, when Zhou Hongyi sold "3721 Chinese Network" to "Yahoo", Lin Feng also attended the press conference and talked with Yang

Zhiyuan had a chance encounter. However, at that time, Lin Feng had not yet owned "Baidu Portal" or "Tencent", and his personal wealth was only among the top in the country. Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan had no impression of Lin Feng at that time.

Not too profound.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Zhiyuan met Lin Feng for the second time, it was in the court of "Baidu Portal" and "Google". At this time, Lin Feng had become a hot figure in the world. Now he received a call from Lin Feng, and Yang Zhiyuan

It was really a feeling of emotion.

Once upon a time, he - Jerry Yang was also a myth in the minds of many students. He single-handedly founded "Yahoo" and became a billionaire overnight. It can be said that he was once a good story in the business world and was called a legend. But now facing Lin Feng, Yang Zhiyuan has truly

I sighed, what is a legend, Lin Feng is the real legend. Compared with Lin Feng, he really is nothing!

"Mr. Lin, what's the important thing for calling today?" Yang Zhiyuan's voice was a little uninterested.

Once upon a time, "Yahoo" was the leader in the search engine industry. Now it has not only relegated to second place, but also lost the confidence and motivation to regain the first position. But now Lin Feng's "Baidu Portal" is challenging "Google".

The ambition of declaring war head-on made Yang Zhiyuan admired and even a little ashamed of himself.

"Mr. Yang, actually I have nothing to do today. I just want to invite you to drink tea and have a chat!" Lin Feng smiled.

Jerry Yang can single-handedly create "Yahoo", so he is by no means a mediocre person. Just from Lin Feng's words, he guessed that Lin Feng must have something to discuss with him. Without thinking too much, he also knew that it would definitely be related to "Google".

After thinking for a while, Yang Zhiyuan nodded and agreed on a time and place.

Not long after, Lin Feng arrived in Sunnyvale, California, the city where "Yahoo" is headquartered. In fact, Jerry Yang originally said that he would entertain Lin Feng at a five-star hotel in Sunnyvale, but Lin Feng

But he refused and proposed to meet directly at the "Yahoo" headquarters and Jerry Yang's office. Because Lin Feng had never been to the "Yahoo" headquarters before. Before, Lin Feng visited the "Microsoft" headquarters, "Blizzard" headquarters, and "Google"

I have also visited the headquarters, and even going to a company headquarters can give Lin Feng some feelings. Therefore, Lin Feng is also eager to go to the "Yahoo" headquarters to see what the "Yahoo" headquarters is like.

When Lin Feng arrived at the "Yahoo" headquarters, Yang Zhiyuan personally greeted Lin Feng at the gate. After all, Yang Zhiyuan was quite looking forward to this meeting with Lin Feng. Because "Yahoo" is currently facing a lot of difficulties.

, he couldn't hold it any longer.

"Mr. Lin, welcome to visit the 'Yahoo' headquarters!" Yang Zhiyuan smiled and led Lin Feng into the "Yahoo" campus.

I have to say that in the United States, all companies, as long as they have some strength, will build a botanical garden in the company. However, working in this environment is indeed quite pleasant. When you walk in, everyone feels refreshed.

It feels great, it seems that my brain is more active and my thinking is clearer.

Under the leadership of Jerry Yang, Lin Feng took a brief tour of the headquarters of "Yahoo". Here, comfort and tension coexist. You can see a table full of computers and densely packed files, and you can also see an extremely comfortable leisure environment.

The space seems not to be in a company, but in a large leisure and entertainment center.

Along the way, many "Yahoo" employees were surprised when they saw Lin Feng appearing in their company. You must know that although "Baidu Portal" is currently competing with "Google", "Yahoo" and "Yahoo" are also competitors after all.

, Unexpectedly, Lin Feng would actually come to "Yahoo", and their founder Yang Zhiyuan would personally greet him. You know, when the people from "Microsoft" came, Yang Zhiyuan did not even go to personally greet them.

A strange emotion lingers in the hearts of all employees.

Finally, Yang Zhiyuan led Lin Feng to an extremely comfortable reception room.
