Since 2000

Silicon Valley and Wall Street, I believe that every Chinese Internet person is no stranger to here.

And people prefer Silicon Valley, a hopeful place, to Wall Street, which trades with naked interests.

Looking at the high-rise buildings around and looking at people in a hurry, Zhou Hongyi's eyes were full of intoxication.

"There is a fire-like passion everywhere, and the breath of free running is intoxicating."

Almost all the industrial chains of Huaxia Internet are established by imitation here, whether it is the three major portal giants that are soaring, or the backbones such as Baidu and Tencent. .

But Zhou Hongyi never considered herself an imitator.

3721's original founding model could not find a reference in Silicon Valley at all, and the Chinese Internet model he pioneered was unique to China.

Not only that, but the golden keywords he invented have been borrowed by some companies in Silicon Valley, forming the bidding ranking that is now popular all over the world.

Therefore, Zhou Hongyi has always considered himself an innovator. Of course, he does have a lot of innovations, including the rogue software that is ubiquitous at the moment.

Google, Intel, Apple, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, looking at the Internet companies that are well known all over the world, Zhou Hongyi's eyes flashed a trace of frenzy.

Standing in front of those giants, everything seemed extraordinarily small.

Standing in front of her destination, looking at the slightly playful LOGO on the building, Zhou Hongyi was full of pride.

Google has begun to provide Chinese Internet services in China, but they have not officially entered China. With Google's behavior, it is a matter of time for them to enter the Chinese market. They will not give up exploring the vast market of China.

If a foreign company wants to gain a firm foothold in the country, it is not enough to rely on its strong strength. The best way is to find a partner in the country.

3721 has a strong channel and traffic in China, and Google has a more powerful search technology than Baidu. In Lao Zhou's view, he and Google are really a match made in heaven. This is simply a destined partner.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhou's heart was filled with incomparable confidence.

He believes in the value of 3721, and he believes that Google will make the right judgment.

Zhou Hongyi pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the lenses reflected the Google office building, as if the tall building was not so far away at the moment, and she could reach out and touch it.

Now is not the time to enter this building, Zhou Hongyi needs a referrer.

Looking at the IDG colleague Wang Gongquan who was in charge of the matchmaking, Zhou Hongyi greeted her with a smile.

But a bad news instantly interrupted Lao Zhou's good mood.

Looking at Wang Gongquan, Old Zhou was full of anger: "What? What did you say? Since Mr. Berger still needs a $100,000 introduction fee?"

Looking at the surprised Zhou Hongyi, Wang Gongquan nodded helplessly.

"Didn't you always say that the United States is a fair and honest society? How could Mr. Berger make such a request?" Zhou Hongyi said angrily.

Although Zhou Hongyi also felt distressed about the 100,000 dollars, it was more difficult to understand.

Lao Zhou has always liked to watch movies, so he has watched many Hollywood blockbusters.

In the movie, the United States has always been the most ideal and passionate country, so this land once fascinated Lao Zhou.

However, in such an ideal country, there is such a dirty reality everywhere?

This made Lao Zhou feel cheated.

Yes, where in the world could there be such a perfect place? Silicon Valley may be like Wall Street, where everything is based on the transaction of interest.

"Mommy, since you're all covered in copper stench, why the **** are you building a torii?"

Zhou Hongyi looked at the high-rise buildings around him, and suddenly he felt that the atmosphere here was no longer as charming as before.

Those who were running were like those who sold CDs in Zhongguancun, their expressions were full of philistines, and the air currents that flowed with the wind seemed to be mixed with a rotten sweat.

Wang Gongquan has been with Lao Zhou for a long time and is very familiar with his temperament, so after hearing Zhou Hongyi's words, he smiled slightly.

"How can you expect fairness here? If Bergor doesn't get any benefits, why would he help us?" Wang Gongquan exhorted in a low voice.

Zhou Hongyi naturally knew this, but for some reason, a strong sense of grievance surged in his heart.

If he wants to be in the country, where does he go without calling for wind and rain? He didn't expect that he would be so wronged when he came to the realm of foreigners, which was very different from what he had imagined before he came.

"Then will we give you the money?" Wang Gongquan asked in a low voice, seeing Zhou Hongyi's face turning ugly.

Zhou Hongyi was silent for a long time, then nodded with gritted teeth.

The current situation is very obvious. If this money is not available, it will definitely not be able to connect with Google. If it cannot be connected, how will you implement your plan?

"Suffering what ordinary people can't bear, suffering what ordinary people can't bear, and enduring humiliation that ordinary people can't bear." Zhou Hongyi silently warned herself in her heart: "Before working with Google, these grievances will be worth it in the end~www.wuxiax .com~ Looking at the building close by, Lao Zhou clenched his fists tightly.

One hundred thousand dollars, no matter where you put it, is a lot of money, even if Mr. Bergor is a big figure in the former US political circle.

With money to open the way, everything seems to be smooth.

When it was dark, Wang Gongquan brought back an exciting piece of good news.

With Begor's help, David Drummond, Google's senior vice president, corporate development and general counsel, agreed to meet with Zhou.

David Drummond Zhou Hongyi knows that he is a very experienced black lawyer who should be the third or fourth person in Google and has a high voice.

Although he is not one of the two founders of Google, Zhou Hongyi has been extremely satisfied.

After confirming the time and place of the meeting, Zhou Hongyi and Wang Gongquan began to prepare the materials for the meeting.

Although as the head of a top-ranked company in China by traffic, Lao Zhou has the confidence to communicate on an equal footing with giants like Google, but the stakes are very important, and Zhou Hongyi has made very serious preparations.

The time of the meeting was about a leisurely afternoon, the sun was shining and the white clouds were blooming.

Zhou Hongyi and Wang Gongquan came to the agreed place early, a coffee shop in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley.

Lao Zhou never drinks coffee, but in order to follow the local customs, he still ordered a cup, and then quietly waited for the arrival of David Drummond.

At the appointed time, David Drummond arrived.

Looking at the tall black man, Zhou Hongyi's heart couldn't help beating for some reason.

He seemed to see a glittering avenue of stars, running over Baidu and pressing a search, reaching the sky.

And he stood at the end of the avenue.
