Chapter 14 Eccentricity
The next day after Hugo held a morning meeting with everyone in the company, he held a Big Three meeting with Page and Brin. Hugo began to explain the future strategy bullishly. Qi and Brin are deeply convinced that it is always good to lay the groundwork early.

Page and Brin listened to Hugo's detailed talk, and finally agreed to Hugo's request, resigned from Google's CEO, established a European division, and served as the head of the European division.

But it is obviously unrealistic to just leave, because something happened right after that, which Hugo knew would happen a long time ago, and it was the cooperation between Yahoo and Google.

Because he knows, he has been waiting all this time. Under his planning, Google in this life is much more famous than in the previous life, but it has not been favored by Yahoo for a long time, which is very heartwarming to Hugo.

It goes without saying how good Yahoo is now. They are the largest company in the Internet age. Their portals and search engines are excellent. Of course, their search engine will not be as good as Google’s now, otherwise they would not be able to find Go to Google.

Just when Hugo couldn't wait any longer and planned to leave it to Page and Brin to deal with, Yahoo finally extended an olive branch. Yahoo's current market value is as high as nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars, and the newly established Google company, hehe, has been losing money so far. The company, but the market value has also increased, but compared with Yahoo, it is definitely a comparison between ants and elephants.

Afterwards, the Big Three of Google and Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, met many times. Yahoo’s attitude at the beginning was to directly acquire Google, which was their ultimate goal at the time.

When Hugo heard it, hehe, just kidding!Let you buy it, where can I get rich? !
Page and Brin are also very ambitious people, and they don't agree with this plan. The acquisition means that each of the three people will get a sum of money, which is far from their ambitions.

It is often said that it is easy for a large company to overwhelm a small company, but it may not be so easy in an environment like the Internet, because technology exists, and Google’s engine design is better. The big deal is that it is temporarily unable to compete with Yahoo. But if the development strategy is appropriate, and Yahoo itself does not have the ability to improve its own technology, then sooner or later Google will turn around.

Hugo knew that Apple hadn't suffered a lot, but they turned around later. They have the capital to turn over. They are constantly innovating their own technology. If they stand still, then of course there is no possibility of turning over.

Google can't occupy a big market now, but it can't be ruled out that one day it will gradually erode Yahoo's market with a small blog. Besides, Yahoo's search engine market is only more than 30.00%, and Google still has room.

Although the giants of Yahoo value Google’s technology somewhat, they have not yet fully realized their own shortcomings. After all, they are the leaders of the Internet. Since they could not negotiate an acquisition, when Page proposed another idea for cooperation, Yahoo agreed after several bargains.

Yahoo's search engine is essentially a backward search method. They rely on manual editing of directories to search, while Google developed by Page and Brin uses algorithms to crawl website keywords.

To give a simple example, the website searched by Yahoo engine is equivalent to searching their dictionary. This dictionary is edited by Yahoo itself. In the United States where the Internet is developing rapidly, many websites pop up every day. Naturally, it is impossible for Yahoo to list all the websites. Compilation of their own dictionary, although they are working hard, but this is a very costly and manpower-intensive thing, and Google is equivalent to grabbing keywords in the Internet, no matter when you set up, as long as there are words, Google's search There will be a list of engines, which is undoubtedly a more convenient and quicker way to save time and effort.

Since then, Yahoo has started to use Google's search engine. After this step, Google's way of making money really began, because advertising and other things will come soon!

To be honest, as a latecomer, Hugo really doesn’t understand why Yahoo did this, why they agreed to cooperate with Google. In fact, if they are smart, they will have time to improve their search services, and they can rely on their own status to promote their own search services. Stronger search engines!

He didn't know that Yahoo's choice was beyond his knowledge as a later person. After all, search engines seemed to be considered trails at the time, and Yahoo was more committed to building ecological portals, email services, and so on.

No one could have imagined that Google would later develop into a giant Internet company!

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Yahoo, Google can use Yahoo's market to carry out comprehensive promotion, which undoubtedly took advantage of it. Hugo knew about it later, and the cooperation between the two parties was terminated in [-], because Yahoo also realized the threat of Google. In the court battle against Sanyuri, Yahoo also acquired other search engine companies, but Google, which has already grown, no longer has to worry about Yahoo!
"From now on, we will embark on a sunny road!" Hugo said at the company's all-staff meeting.

There was applause below, and Page and Brin looked at Hugo with admiration, because Hugo proposed the cooperation plan, and Hugo told them in detail that the key to this cooperation was to use Yahoo! It's just promotion. The promotion that Hugo said all day has completely conquered the two of them.

After getting out of the cooperation with Yahoo, some things were also advanced immediately. The famous investment capital Sequoia Capital took a fancy to Google and hoped to invest in Google. So far, Google is still a private company.

When this investment intention was sent to Hugo, he was in a bit of trouble. In fact, he didn't expect such a big investment company to take a fancy to them so soon. This group of people are really fucking vampires. Investment companies are in his eyes Just the vampire, because he knew what the future of the company was going to be, and took it for granted that they were exploiters, but at the time it was actually a risky investment!
Hugo knew the history of Google earlier and knew that to attract investment, he never planned to put his eggs in the basket of Google. He had many plans to make money, and he was reluctant to spend all his money on Google. Now the real investment comes But Hugo couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he refused? !

Page and Brin were very happy to see this investment. Hugo didn’t want to pay any more money, and couldn’t go against everyone’s wishes, so the investment was negotiated. Of course, Hugo’s shareholding ratio also dropped accordingly, but He, Page, and Brin still have the most combined shares, and Yahoo, Sequoia Capital and others are still in a weak position.

After finishing all these tasks, it was already May of 99, and Hugo finally completed the formalities of suspending school and returned to Italy.

As for the matter of running the team, the current progress of Victor is as follows. He has completed the name registration and signed an agreement with the city hall to lease the stadium behind his back. Hey, he actually signed a loan agreement with Victor behind others' backs like this. You must know that Victor's current team has only two players. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the mayor is Hugo and Victor's uncle Enzo Morek) , Not a single player was recruited, which shows that Victor's work efficiency is not generally bad.

Getting up groggy from his own bed, Hugo couldn't help but smile wryly, this is my sin, after time travel, it's so easy for me to make some money so complicated!But thinking about the upcoming team recruitment work today, Hugo is full of energy again, haha, I can also play football.

He can't tell when he fell in love with football, maybe because he made his first pot of gold in it. In short, he is obviously more interested in football than in work. When he returned to Italy, Hugo followed The team he came with has all been dispatched, well, this team is actually not many people, only three people, Hugo is in charge of the overall situation, another person is in charge of business, and the other is technical support.Hugo sent them all out. Erwin, who was in charge of business, went to recruit personnel, consult lawyers, and carry out matters related to the establishment of the Italian company, while Duncan, who was in charge of technology, was responsible for establishing the relevant structure. Anyway, Hugo is throwing both hands now, what? Do nothing.

Instead, he concentrated on his football!
When I got home, all the seven aunts and eight aunts came to see him, and I didn’t forget to tell my grandpa that your grandson is amazing, and you have come back to your hometown to run a company. Can you find a way to let your nephew join the new company to play around? In the eyes of these people, it seems that the company run by Hugo is a family business.

"Gigi is not running a family business. He is now establishing an Italian branch of Google in the United States. You guys, don't make trouble for him. If anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!" Grandpa solemnly said warned all relatives.

Hugo is quite speechless, what can you people do, brother, this is a technology company, do you understand? !
When facing his grandfather, Hugo had to brag a bit. He actually wanted to be a low-key rich man, but at present he still wanted to make a sum of money from the family for the team's construction. Although it was for fun, But Hugo decided not to treat the players who participated in the team badly, this won't work!We are a non-professional team, but we are still an enterprise, so we should give everyone some benefits, otherwise, who will support me!

Grandpa Pacilio agreed in a daze, and promised to give a sponsorship to the new team every season!
Victor said not without resentment: "I think grandpa is really partial to you. I have said many times but failed to persuade him. When you come back, you can persuade him by farting a few times! I think I must not be his relative." grandson!"

"Stinky boy! What did you say?!" Hugo's uncle, Giovanni, smashed a chestnut on Victor's head!

"Ah, Dad... Dad! Huh, what I said is not the truth, grandpa always favors Hugo!" Victor shouted as he ran far away with his head in his arms.

"If you have the ability to do something serious, wouldn't your grandfather support you! Look at how I gave birth to a son like you, who is ignorant and idle all day long! Alas, you will just eat and wait to die in this life! "Giovanni cursed bitterly.

Hugo watched with a smile on the side, not persuading at all!

Victor in the distance murmured, "Oh, he's doing business with the team, but I'm not?! Clearly biased!"
