Chapter 1190 Pizza and Coke are enough

With a hint of worry about having tea with Mr. Wen in the future, Lin Feng arrived in the United States. At this time, the American IT world was already in a commotion.

The "Baidu-Yahoo" board of directors expelled Chairman Lin Feng, and then fired away the chief engine architecture engineer Robin Li. Later, it was reported that Lin Feng's promise to solve the "vertical search engine" defects the previous week failed, which made "Baidu-Yahoo" become the entire IT

The focus of the world. Originally, this was just a matter for Baidu-Yahoo, but Google was currently in a lawsuit with it, and Lin Feng had previously declared that he would surpass Google in two years, which caused a stir at the time.

A sensation in the IT world.

Especially later, Lin Feng single-handedly manipulated the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo", allowing the outside world to see the exciting search engine war in the future. Unexpectedly, now Lin Feng has even lost "Baidu-Yahoo", how can he go there?

Beyond "Google"? But judging from Lin Feng's past deeds and personality, Lin Feng will never let go easily. So, what will Lin Feng do?

Also, now that "Baidu-Yahoo" is in chaos, "Microsoft" once again quoted "Baidu-Yahoo", but this time the offer from "Microsoft" was only US$27 billion, which was far lower than the previous highest offer of US$490.

Billion dollars, "Microsoft's" behavior of taking advantage of others is undoubtedly quite despicable, but from a business perspective, "Microsoft"'s approach is extremely correct. If "Microsoft" acquires "Baidu-Yahoo", then

"Microsoft" will reach 33% of the search engine market share. Although it is still not as good as "Google", it is very close. By then, I am afraid that "Microsoft" will once again start a competition with "Google" to become the king of the search engine market.

war.

What will happen to the search engine market in the future is really confusing, but there is no doubt that it has attracted close attention from the IT and financial circles.

At this time, Lin Feng arrived in Sunnyvale, California, and secretly met with Jerry Yang and Robin Li.

"How is it? How is the situation now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Director Lin, the company is in chaos now!" Yang Zhiyuan sighed.

Since Lin Feng and Robin Li left the company one after another, in just two days, the company was in chaos. No one knew what the future of the company would be like, especially the departure of Robin Li, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the employees of the original "Baidu Portal".

The management of "Baidu Portal" triggered an internal struggle, accusing the management of "Yahoo" for excluding dissidents, and wanted to annex "Baidu Portal" and let "Baidu-Yahoo" change its surname to "Yahoo" again.

This dispute, with Yang Zhiyuan's connivance, triggered mutual accusations between the management of both parties. The management of "Baidu Portal" rebuked the management of "Yahoo" for being intolerant and wanted to use this extremely despicable method to

All "Baidu Portal" management were kicked out of the board of directors, while "Yahoo" executives denounced that it was the inaction and disorderly actions of the original "Baidu Portal" executives such as Lin Feng and Robin Li that allowed "Baidu-Yahoo" to

In just a few weeks, the merger encountered the most ridiculous and intolerable super own incident in the history of search engines.

"Director Lin, the two sides are quarreling now. If no powerful figure appears again, the company may fall apart." Yang Zhiyuan said worriedly.

Although the current situation was originally planned by Lin Feng, Robin Li and Yang Zhiyuan, seeing the company in such chaos, Yang Zhiyuan began to feel uneasy. He was afraid that this farce would eventually get out of hand, even if Lin Feng returned, he would not be able to control it.

Let the company get back on track. If so, you will really regret it.

Lin Feng patted Yang Zhiyuan on the shoulder. He understood Yang Zhiyuan's worries. But otherwise, how could Timothy and others firmly sell their shares to "Microsoft", and how could the old fox "Microsoft" keep lowering the price?

Let yourself take advantage of the opportunity!

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, everything will be fine." Lin Feng said confidently.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, now he can only believe Lin Feng.

"Director Lin, but today is already the third day, and there are less than four days left before the one-week commitment to solve the defects of the 'vertical search engine'. We don't have enough time!" Robin Li reminded.

For Robin Li, what he is most concerned about is the "vertical search engine". This incomplete search engine technology has always been a pain in Robin Li's heart.

"Don't worry, the share issue will be solved within 24 hours!" Lin Fengxiao said. You know, now "Baidu-Yahoo" senior executives have resigned or are inactive, while the middle managers are blaming each other and yelling, and the lower levels are paralyzed.

, only the lowest-level employees are left to maintain the basic operations of "Baidu-Yahoo". Such a company looks like a backwater to outsiders.

A person like Timothy who only wants to sell his shares at a high price to earn cash for retirement will never let go of this opportunity to sell the company. However, "Microsoft" is not a good one. In this case, it is absolutely not possible.

He will buy it at a high price. Lin Feng believes that as long as he pays a higher price and spends a little more skill, Timothy and others will naturally be able to capture the shares.

Jerry Yang and Robin Li nodded. If so, that would be great.

"By the way, Director Lin, how's the bank loan going?" Robin Li asked a little embarrassed.

After all, this time is an obvious opportunity to make money, and the two of them will naturally not let it go. However, Yang Zhiyuan has a certain amount of savings, but Robin Li does not, and he is still a "poor scholar". After Lin Feng promised to help him solve the loan, Robin Li

So he placed his hope on Lin Feng. Although he would owe Lin Feng a favor, for Robin Li, it was not the first time he owed Lin Feng a favor. As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, there is no need to itch, and if there are many debts, there is no need to worry. Anyway, he owes Lin Feng a favor.

There are already enough romances, so it doesn't matter anymore.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Li, this low-interest loan of US$200 million has been settled. You and Zhiling will go through the procedures later and it will be settled." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Robin Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The US$200 million will become at least US$1 billion after the listing. For Robin Li, this is definitely a windfall, and a big windfall.

Seeing Robin Li's expression, Lin Feng and Yang Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled. This reminded the two of them of the time when they made their first pot of gold, and the expression on Robin Li's face at the moment was the same. After all, whoever suddenly made money for the first time

Even if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars, you will lose your composure.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, please give me Timothy's address and I will visit them tonight." Lin Feng looked into the distance with an expectant look on his face.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, and then gave Lin Feng the addresses of Timothy and others.

After parting ways with Jerry Yang and Robin Li, Lin Feng returned to the hotel and met with the world's number one hacker, Kevin Mitnick, online.

"Kevin, how are you? How are you communicating about gathering many hackers to help 'Baidu-Yahoo' repair the 'vertical search engine'?" Lin Feng asked nervously.

This time Lin Feng proposed to use the power of the world's top hackers to help "Baidu-Yahoo" repair the "vertical search engine", which is to pin all his hopes on Kevin Mitnick, the world's number one hacker. You know, in

In the hacker world, Kevin Mitnick's influence is unparalleled. His status in the hearts of many top hacker masters is as important as the Statue of Liberty to the United States. It is a spiritual symbol and a totem.

"Boss, I have contacted many people for you. However, your proposal to pay salary was rejected by them." Kevin Mitnick said helplessly.

Lin Feng was surprised when he heard this.

"Am I offering a salary that is too low?" Lin Feng frowned. You must know that the salary he offered is definitely not low. The hourly salary is US$1,000 per person, which is already the salary level of top programmers.

Kevin Mitnick shook his head.

"Boss, I told you, for those of us, money is not a problem. What we value is definitely not money. If we want to make money, we will not join this industry." Kevin Mitnick looked displeased.

Said happily.

The existence of these top hackers has never been for money. Of course, Kevin Mitnick will not deny that there are indeed some hackers who exist for money, but real hackers will not be swayed by money.

"Then what do they want?" Lin Feng asked again after apologizing.

Kevin Mitnick shrugged.

"Boss, their request is very simple, just provide enough pizza and Coke. Of course, it would be even better if there was beer and coffee!" Kevin Mitnick said with a longing look on his face.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes when he heard this. This kind of request is too... ordinary, it is simply not required. If you go out and hire the world's top programmers to work for you, and the reward you need to pay is just pizza,

Coke, beer and coffee, I'm afraid anyone is willing to pay this price.

"Boss, I just told you that people like us don't care about money. It's enough to give us unlimited pizza, beer, cola and coffee!" Kevin Mitnick thought of himself working alone in front of the computer.

The scenes of him hacking down websites one after another, and even invading the US Department of Defense, accompanied by pizza and beer, made his face palpitate. Although his life is better now and he has no worries about eating and drinking, he used to eat pizza that was about to expire.

, the days of drinking flat Coke were the most memorable days in his life.

Lin Feng was speechless for a while. As the saying goes, people with different paths do not work together. Lin Feng could not understand the logical thinking of these people. But it does not matter whether he understands or not. What is important is that these people can be used for themselves.
