I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 393 Short Target!

In mid-July, Lin Xiao flew to the United States by plane, while Chu Xiyun returned to her home in Suzhou. Originally, Lin Xiao invited Chu Xiyun to go to the United States together.

But firstly, Chu Xiyun didn't have a passport, and secondly, after seeing the efficacy of her company's ancient prescriptions, Chu Xiyun was also very interested in the products her company was developing, so she didn't go with her.

Of course, after being bored for several days, it is natural that they are reluctant to part when they part.

Lin Xiao was not alone on this trip. Qiao Lei and others from Eternal Science and Technology also went together. As for Li Yanhong and others from Baidu, Lin Xiao told them to arrive a few days later.

And he himself brought Pang Fei and Yao Yaohui with him.

In the past, it was normal for him to go abroad every time, but now, since there are dangers in the country, there is no need to talk about going abroad.

A group of people came to Silicon Valley. Dong Meilan had already arranged for Silicon Valley to have a special car to take Lin Xiao and others to their destination.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxian brought the people from Eternal Technology to the Silicon Valley R&D Center for docking, and then went to Google with Lan Yumo, who had already arrived in Silicon Valley.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin had already received the news that Lin Xiao was coming, so they were not surprised that Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo came to the company, but it could be seen that they were very happy.

"Lin, welcome to Google again!"

Larry Page finished speaking to Lin Xiao, and then said to Lan Yumo who was behind Lin Xiao: "Welcome, beautiful lady."

Lin Xiao also began to introduce to several people at this time.

"This is my investment company partner, Ms. Lan Yumo."

"These two are the founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin."

After Lin Xiao's introduction, the three of them greeted each other, and Larry Page immediately said to Lin Xiao, "Lin, let's take a tour of the entire company first."

After Lin Xiao agreed, Larry Page began to show the two of them around the company.

Compared with only a few people when Lin Xiao came here, the scale of Google now is undoubtedly much larger, and the number of personnel has increased a lot. Lin Xiao also saw many more machines than before in the computer room where the servers are placed.

Lin Xiao is no longer the Xiaobai he used to be. Anyway, his Eternal Network is also an Internet company. Just from the number of people and servers, Lin Xiao can roughly tell that Google has developed fairly well.

"Larry, it seems that the scale of Google is continuing to expand." Lin Xiao said to Larry Page while pointing to the computer room full of servers.

Larry Page also nodded happily, "Yes, Lin, our users and visits are maintaining a steady growth rate every day."

Lin Xiao smiled first, and then said: "Stability is not enough, Larry, it's time for Google to grow explosively. Compared with my Internet company in China, your development speed is still too slow .”

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao looked at the slightly embarrassed expressions of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, but did not speak.

In fact, the development of Google was not fast in the previous life. This search engine, which is known as the best in the world, did not do any promotion or advertisement for a long time after its establishment. It relied on word of mouth to slowly accumulate users. From Lin Xiao's point of view, this is simply incomprehensible.

In this life, Lin Xiao's goal is to speed up Google's development. In his opinion, it was too late to go public in 2004.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao asked Larry Page: "Yahoo will decide the results of the search engine service partner in three days, right?"

"Yes!" Larry Page replied immediately, "Yahoo has been trying to run Google Chrome for some time, and they reported that they will choose between Google and Inktomi in three days."

Lin Xiao listened and said, "That's great! Larry, what we need to do now is to get the legal affairs to prepare the contract, and then contact the media. After Yahoo makes a decision, sign the contract with them quickly, and Hype."

"Lin? Are you ready now? Is it too early?" Larry Brown hesitated.

Lin Xiao said without hesitation: "Of course, I have great confidence in Google."

In the previous life, Google seems to have become popular by winning Yahoo's search contract, which is actually equivalent to Google's advertising.

It's just that Google in the previous life didn't connect with Yahoo so early, but waited until Yahoo's search contract expired before coming to the door, and didn't make any publicity after getting the contract.

And for Google's strength, Lin Xiao is indeed very confident.

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, both Larry Page and Sergey Brin were moved and excited.

Although they have been working towards this goal since Lin Xiao gave them an idea, to be honest, they themselves are not so confident.

But now, Lin Xiao's trust in Google really touched them a little.

"But..." Larry Page hesitated for a moment, "Lin, if you want to advertise on a large scale, you need a lot of money."

"Considering the situation at Nasdaq and the fact that major investment institutions have scaled back their investment in Internet companies, we actually have a very strict spending plan for the money you invest in the company."

Lin Xiao looked at the hesitant Larry Page and smiled.

"Larry, has anyone ever told you that your acting isn't that great?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao directly exposed Larry Page and said: "I know what you mean. When Google officially wins the Yahoo contract, I will tell you how to achieve profitability through stable income."

"I have already called Li Yanhong from Baidu to come to Silicon Valley in a few days, and you will cooperate to complete this matter."

"God, that's great!" Larry Page and Sergey Brin swept away the previous hesitation at this time, and their faces were full of smiles.

"Lin, we will do these things right away, and we will connect with Yahoo again to ensure that we win this contract." Larry Page said firmly.

"Of course, you can do it!" Lin Xiao said encouragingly.

After getting more accurate news from Google, Lin Xiao didn't wait too long, and told Larry Page and others to notify him as soon as they had news, and told them not to be afraid of spending money, and to fully promote it.

Immediately, Lin Xiao left Google with Lan Yumo.

Sitting back in the car, Lin Xiao said directly to Lan Yumo, "Yumo, you still have some liquidity in your hand, how about we short Inktom?"

"Once Google beats Inktomi to win Yahoo's contract, Inktomi's stock price will definitely plummet. If we buy short now, we may be able to earn back all the money we invested in Google!"
