March 13.

Zucker led his team to take a private plane "Rola" to leave Seattle at 5 a.m. that day, but the destination this time was not Los Angeles, but Santa Clara County, both of California.

Santa Clara County, doesn’t it sound strange?

Is the Santa Clara Valley under Santa Clara County even more unfamiliar?

However......The Santa Clara Valley has another name, that is "Silicon Valley"!

"Boss, your trip to Silicon Valley mainly has two itineraries. One is Water World Animation Company and the other is Google." said Bajo Liszt, a member of the think tank.

Zhuke nodded, looking at the clouds outside the window, and couldn't help but think.

Water World Animation Company, in fact, this time it was not a big deal.

Once upon a time, Water World Animation and LinkedIn shared the same building. Now that LinkedIn's headquarters has been relocated to the Seattle Industrial Park, the Wald Building in Silicon Valley will be completely occupied by Water World Animation from now on.

"Linking In and Water World Animation, dealing with legacy issues is not a big deal."

"But... Google, this time it's definitely serious."

Not long ago, Larry Page, who is the chairman of Google and also serves as CEO, has talked with Zucker more than once, well, and remote video calls.

Larry Page wants to step down from Google CEO!

...........

The straight-line distance from Seattle to Silicon Valley is as high as 1140 kilometers.

Zhuke took the "Rola" Boeing 767 and arrived at his destination smoothly in less than 2 hours.

"Okay, everyone, it's still early now, and there are still more than ten minutes before 7 a.m. Let's find a place to eat first." Zhuke suggested.

"Okay, boss."

Of course, everyone from the private team including Bajo Liszt and others agreed.

Zhuke's private jet costs as much as US$110 million, with complete facilities on it, so the kitchen is naturally a must-have. However, Zhuke does not like to dine on the plane, and it always feels unreal.

Then the question is!

Zhuke doesn't eat on the plane. You said, are the employees below who are so embarrassed to eat on the plane?

So, the employees who had already gotten up early are already damn, and they are all hungry, not only with hungry chests on their backs, but their stomachs must be empty.

at the same time.

Sergey Brin, the chairman of Google and the home of Ceo Larry Page, is also here at the moment.

"Juke Wald must have been here this morning, right?" Page asked.

Brin smiled: "It was arriving this morning, well, I guess he should arrive at the airport in Mountain View now."

Upon hearing this, Page couldn't help but envy: "I really envy him for having a luxurious Boeing 767 private jet."

Brin smiled and said, "Man, you don't need to be envious. I believe that in the near future, we will also have a Boeing 767 aircraft that belongs to us."

"Oh, are you so sure?" Page tasted.

"Of course! I'm extremely sure!"

Bollinger is full of confidence.

In fact, in the future, they really bought a Boeing 767 aircraft together, and the overall cost is much more expensive than the total cost of Zucker's "Rola".

The chat ends and gets to the topic.

"Bryn, you said I stepped down as a Google CEO and pushed Eric Schmidt to the top. Will he support it? The accumulated shares of both of us occupy an absolute controlling stake and can be decided. However, I don't want to have a conflict with Mr. Wald in the appointment of CEO. Do you understand?" Page said seriously.

Bolling nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhuke invested in Google very early and was very happy during the cooperation process.

As long as it was their decision, Zhuke almost never opposed it and gave them the greatest support.

Not only that, in 2000, Google's search engine entered a money-burning mode due to promotion problems. At that time, Google, which lacked huge financial support, could only start a round of financing to solve the problem of lack of funds.

But...Zuke stood up!

Zhu Ke did not take advantage of others to occupy more Google shares, but instead borrowed a large amount of money to Google through tripartite lending, which was as high as $50 million!

In this alone, Page and Brin were deeply moved.

This timely rain of $50 million has successfully led to the rapid development of Google's search engine. In just half a year, it has become the overlord of the search engine field today!

Of course, this is also because in the late 1990s and early 2000, major Internet companies attached too much importance to portal construction and ignored the search engine market.

"You know, our cooperation with Mr. Wald is still very pleasant and harmonious. I hope this cooperation will continue, rather than something bullshit because of the stock problem." Larry Page stressed again.

"Hahaha, don't worry."

Sergey Brin said confidently: "The reason you want to step down from the position of Google CEO is that you have discovered your shortcomings and are also considering the company's future. You said that Eric Schmidt is a strategic commander and the person Google needs most at the moment, and I agree very much."

"I believe that Mr. Wald will agree with your decision when he meets Eric Schmidt."

Eric Schmidt, male, 46 years old.

Shortly after he graduated from university, he joined Zieglo and Bell Labs successively;

The former is a well-known design company for the z80 series CPU in the IT industry, and the latter is the research and development base of Bell, a giant in the telecommunications industry. He also worked in the computer science laboratory of Xerox, a technology holy site in the IT industry. In just a few years, he has grown into a well-known network engineer and a big technology expert.

However... what makes him really powerful is corporate management and corporate strategic planning!

In 1983, Schmidt joined Sun Company and served as chief technology officer and CEO. He led the development of Sun's independent programming technology platform, turning Java into the most powerful market weapon ever;

In 1997, Schmidt accepted Novell (mainly because of its computer operating system), and served as the company's chairman and CEO, in charge of company strategic planning, management and technical research and development. Schmidt quickly rebuilds Novell into a profitable company, but...

With the bursting of the Internet bubble, novelll fell back into a huge loss. Not to mention the huge loss of market value, novelll lost $142 million in just one quarter.

Of course, it is mainly because Sun Company cannot beat Bill Gates' Microsoft in terms of computer operating systems!

In a word, Eric Schmidt is a very awesome super talent in technology, company management, and company strategic planning.

And now, Eric Schmidt has to convince Zhuke that he can successfully take over as CEO on Google!
