The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 390 Google Delivered to Your Door
Huang He's original idea was actually to sell Chinese products by himself. Even if the price is lower and the profit is lower, that is okay, as long as it can open up the market for Chinese brands internationally.

However, Huang He found that he had failed. Both Yahoo and Apple rejected him.

Although Yahoo is an American company, its president is Chinese. As a result, Yahoo rejected itself and even refused to give itself the opportunity to bid.

Although Apple is a purebred American company, it was secretly controlled by itself, and it also got the opportunity to join the bidding.And in the later stage, Huang He asked Swift to hint to Jobs that the computing server could be purchased from Jiangnan Group because the price was cheaper.

But Jobs chose the most expensive IBM instead.

In this regard, Huang He has no choice. It is impossible for him to change Swift to another Apple CEO.First of all, after the issuance of new shares, the shares held by the Western Mustang Company no longer constitute an absolute holding.

Secondly, even with an absolute controlling stake, Huang He would not dare to replace Jobs at this time, otherwise the future Apple would not be born.

At present, the Yellow Crane needs apples, and needs to cast a star on the corpse of apples, so apples have to be alive now.

To sum up, Huang He could only watch with aggrieved eyes as Apple finally finalized the orders of IBM and America Priority. happy.

But this is not a problem that can be solved overnight. After Huang He sighed slightly, he took his own people and left Apple, leaving Apple's cafeteria with a somewhat lonely back.

But just when Huang He was about to step out of Apple's gate, a figure suddenly walked over and said politely, "Sir, are you the president of Jiangnan Server, Mr. Huang He?"

"It's me!" Huang He looked at the young man who appeared suddenly in front of him with some surprise, and looked familiar.

"Hello, my name is Larry Page, and I'm the president of Google. I have a business and I hope to talk to you!" Larry Page said.

"Oh, so it's Google. I've heard of your company!" Huang He nodded, and then said with a smile, "If it's convenient, why not talk in my car."

Huang He was a little surprised in his heart. Before he planned to do anything to Google, Google had already delivered it to his door.

"OK!" Larry Page got into Huang He's car very readily, and looked at the extremely luxurious interior of the car with some curiosity. At the same time, he took a glass of champagne handed over by Huang He, and the two drank a glass together Afterwards, Huang He smiled and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Page is looking for me."

"That's right, Google hopes to purchase a batch of computing power servers and storage servers from your company. If possible, I also hope to purchase some of your company's storage chips!" Larry Page said very sincerely.

"Oh..." Huang He looked at Larry Page in surprise, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Page, isn't Mr. Page worried that the servers produced by our company are fake, or have a very short service life? "

"I read your company's tender very carefully. Your company says on it that the storage server provides a one-year warranty, and its core components provide a three-year warranty. As for the storage chip, it provides up to five years. Warranty!"

"I don't think five years is too short a time, and the price will be worth it in five years!" Larry Page said with a smile, and Huang He nodded.

"Google wants to buy our server, of course there is no problem. If you have no other ideas, then we can sign the contract now, and I will send the server to your company as soon as possible!" Huang He said.

"Well, I actually have a small request..." Larry Page's expression suddenly became a little awkward.

"Please say!"

"The price of the server can be negotiated again. Even if the price of the server, I hope it can be reduced to 30 US dollars, and the storage price can be reduced to 3000 US dollars!" Larry Page said.

"Mr. Page, are you joking?" Huang He was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a stiff expression.

"Mr. Huang He, I'm not joking, to be honest, because our company's economy has some problems, so we can only spend this kind of funds at present, and this is already all the funds we can use at present!" Larry Paige lowered his head and said.

"It's impossible. If it's a 9% discount or even a 8% discount, I can satisfy you. But you are directly asking for a discount of more than [-]% off. This is really unbearable. There is no reason for such a business in the world. If I sell it to you at this price, will all manufacturers demand this price from me in the future?" Huang He shook his head repeatedly, even if the other party was Google, it was impossible for Huang He to agree to such a demand.

"Mr. Huang He, when your company comes to the United States, you must hope to borrow our purchases from the American market, and then establish the image of Jiangnan server in the global market, and further completely open up the global market!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't come to the United States with a team of more than a dozen people. It would be enough to send a business manager for this kind of thing."

"And if you come back empty-handed in the first step of coming to the United States, or at most sign contracts with some small companies that are not in the mainstream, then not only will this not realize your plan, but it may also be a blow to your company's reputation. "

"Just imagine, the whole world sees Yahoo and Apple refusing to buy your server, so how can other companies buy your products?" Larry Page said.

……

There was silence for a while.

"Are you threatening me?" Huang He's eyes flickered with anger.

"No, it's not a threat. I'm just struggling to survive for my company. Now I'm just a poor guy lying on the ground, begging for alms from others!" Larry Page said pitifully, his eyes almost leaking. Hot tears dripped out.

"What happened?" Huang He asked curiously.

"Can I say no?"

Huang He didn't answer directly, but gave a look that if you don't tell me, you must not have a server. Larry Page sighed helplessly, and could only sell his own story.

In 98, just like when many American Internet giants started, Larry Page developed the Google search engine in the school dormitory, and founded Google in the same year.

In 00, Google had become the third-ranked search engine in the United States. It stands to reason that Google will need fierce competition in the future to be able to secure its position as the overlord.

But at this time, Google encountered a turning point in its development career, and that was the cooperation with Yahoo.

In fact, as early as when Larry Page developed the Google search engine, Yahoo tried to acquire the engine for US$100 million, but was rejected by Larry Page at the time.

However, in 00, Yahoo found that the search engine business was developing rapidly, and Yahoo also needed a search engine on its web pages.So Yahoo once again proposed to acquire Google, but this time the price rose to 5 million U.S. dollars. As a result, Larry Page continued to reject Yahoo.

However, the two parties reached a consensus on cooperation, that is, Larry Page's Google search engine can log on to Yahoo's portal and become Yahoo's associated search engine.

In other words, the search engine on the Yahoo portal is actually Google.As a price, Google has to join the advertising network created by Yahoo, and at the same time, 50% of the advertising network revenue obtained by Google will belong to Yahoo.

Because Yahoo would bring huge traffic, Larry Page at the time thought the deal was good, so he agreed.

Sure enough, after taking the ride of Yahoo, Google became the number one search engine in the United States in just one week.

Up to now, Google's market share has reached a staggering 68%.

Originally, the cooperation should continue normally, but just a few weeks ago, Yahoo did not know if it was stimulated by something. He suddenly found Larry Page and expressed his hope to spend 30 billion US dollars to acquire Google.

Larry Page still wanted to refuse, but this time Yahoo's attitude was very tough, and even directly stated that if Larry Page disagreed, then Yahoo would develop its own search engine and terminate the relationship with Google at the same time. Cooperation, that is, Google can no longer appear on Yahoo's home page.

Larry Page couldn't bear the pressure, so he nodded and agreed, but asked for a price of 50 billion US dollars, because Larry Page felt that Google was worth the price.

But Yahoo obviously didn't think so, so several fierce quarrels broke out between the two parties. Yahoo always bit the price of 30 billion US dollars and refused to let go. Even if Larry Page retreated to 40 billion US dollars, it still could not be reached. Agreement, which made Larry Page angry too.

He was originally the child of destiny, and he had great arrogance in his bones, so Yahoo and Google broke up completely.

Unexpectedly, just yesterday, Jerry Yang and Larry Page actually met at Apple's conference.

After the meeting, Jerry Yang gave an ultimatum to Larry Page very simply. If Google does not accept their acquisition plan, then from next Monday, Yahoo will close Google's website channel, and Google will never You can't borrow Yahoo's traffic anymore.

Yang Zhiyuan's ultimatum was actually very effective.

First of all, in the eyes of all outsiders, Google can have today's scenery, all relying on the traffic brought by Yahoo.If you leave Yahoo, then Google has only a dead end.

Secondly, it is Google's own problem, because Google has been in a state of being very short of money.
