Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 1762 How to sell advertising?

After hearing this and glancing at Hilgaibrin's slightly weird expression, Larry Page burst out laughing.

"You're right. What I just learned is that I don't want to believe it either."

After the two laughed for a while, they talked about the purpose of their visit.

Hilgabrin said: "Do you think this Mr. Chen is as powerful as Ma Tian said?"

"I don't know yet," Larry Page said. "I'll know when I see him in person."

Hilgebrin said worriedly: "I am worried about one thing right now. This Mr. Chen, does he really understand the Internet?"

Speaking of this, Larry Page's expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "We can let him invest in our company, but we must not let him have absolute control. This cannot be shaken."

Hilgebrin nodded in agreement.

This point can be said to be the bottom line between two people and must not be touched.

Larry Page had already thought clearly on the way here.

The technology companies they open must not be controlled by capital.

If a technology company is controlled by capital, it will inevitably lack a long-term vision and make many short-sighted behaviors, and its future will not be long-term.

It can only be said that the entrepreneurial thinking of these two people is very strange in the United States.

Otherwise, these two people would not come together.

They seem to be inherently wary of Wall Street capital.

In the final analysis, it was the family factors of the two people that affected them.

Larry Page's grandfather was an autoworker and a small union leader.

His grandfather planned the largest auto industry strike in American history.

Not only that, he was deeply influenced by communist ideas.

Larry Page's father was a computer engineer and could have participated in the US aerospace program.

In the end he refused and turned to academic research.

The reason is also very simple, he does not want to participate in the Cold War.

Growing up in such an environment, Larry Page naturally has no good impression of capital.

The whole family believes that capital is a very evil thing.

No matter what you do, as long as it has something to do with capital, it is definitely not a good thing.

As for Hilgebrin, let alone that.

He is a political immigrant of Lao Maozi. In his heart, he is more like an Lao Maozi. Naturally, he does not like the capital here in the United States.

There is even some hostility towards these American capitals among his bloodline.

Historically, when these two people founded Google, their first investment was only a mere $[-].

As for the one hundred thousand US dollars, the two of them spent a lot of time and said many good things to borrow it from their classmates.

After they ran out of money, they begged their parents and grandma to borrow money from relatives and friends, which was very difficult.

In fact, at this time, they can definitely get a lot of financing as long as they go to Wall Street to give a speech.

But although the two of them knew that there was still a way to go, they did not choose to do so.

This alone is enough to prove that they have a very unfavorable opinion of Wall Street.

It wasn't until the $100 million was used up that they were forced to accept the reality, bow to the capital they despised, and choose venture capital from Wall Street.

This time, they received a follow-up investment of 500 million yuan.When Google went public, these two people conducted IPO pricing in an auction.

The purpose is actually very simple, that is, not to let capital control Google excessively.

This move was eventually called a purge of Wall Street by the American media.

The reason why the two of them are so wary of capital is of course family reasons.

The second reason is naturally because the two people have seen the lessons of the past and do not want the company they worked so hard to create to repeat the same mistakes and end up making wedding clothes for capital.

At present, the most powerful Internet company in the world is Yahoo. Anyone who knows a little about the Internet will not object to this.

In fact, the two founders of Yahoo no longer have much control over Yahoo at this time.

The existence of capital caused their shares to be eroded little by little, and in the end they had no right to speak at all.

This makes Larry Page and Hilgay Brin very vigilant.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them can't wait to come to China, wanting to meet the legendary Qiuhai boss Chen Jianghai in person and have a good chat with him.

In their view, Chinese investors are definitely much easier to deal with than Wall Street investors.

Facts have proved that their idea was wrong, and Chen Jianghai was not an easy person to deal with.

When Larry Page and Hilary Brin came to China, Ma Tian had already started working on a search engine.

At this time, Ma Tian did not have much confidence in search engines.

He thought that the risk Chen Jianghai took by buying such a thing was too great.

After so many days of preparation, Ma Tian was almost busy.

After calming down, he kept thinking about a question.

How do search engines make money?

But after thinking for a long time, Ma Tian still had no clue and couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

In this case, Ma Tian immediately thought of Chen Jianghai and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and make a call.

Ma Tian wanted to know what Chen Jianghai thought about the profitability of search engines.

After the call was connected, Ma Tian didn't hesitate and directly stated his questions.

Search engines can be built quickly, but how to make money after they are built?
Chen Jianghai on the other end of the phone did not answer Ma Tian's question directly. Instead, he asked: "Now that this project has been launched, do you have any ideas?"

At this time, Ma Tian had been in the United States for a long time.

The instant messaging software he has in hand can be said to have established a firm foothold in the United States.

At this time, Ma Tian was exploring the company's profit model.

This time the search engine also needs a profit model.

As long as he can think of one, Ma Tian believes that the other one can get some inspiration from it.

"I only think of one way, and that is to cooperate with other websites and provide them with search services." Ma Tian said directly.

Hearing this answer, Chen Jianghai smiled slightly and said, "You can't make money by doing this."

"Mr. Chen, how can we make money?" Ma Tian actually knew that the operability was very low, so he did not refute and asked humbly.

Chen Jianghai didn't mean to hide it, and immediately gave the answer: "Of course I sell advertisements. It makes money quickly and is convenient."

Hearing Chen Jianghai's answer, Ma Tian looked surprised and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, how do search engines sell ads?"
