Early in the morning at the Fengyu headquarters, although the rhythm of the office area was still the same as usual. But in Larry Page's office, the two founders were sitting there with gloomy expressions, which was in stark contrast to the bustling and busy scene outside.

contrast.

It took a long time for the two people who stood like statues before Sergey Brin finally moved.

He sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it, Larry. Even if we don't have Kaltix's technology, our current search technology in Fengyu is still the most advanced."

"Yes, that's what I said. Ask, overture does not put any pressure on us now, but what about the future?" Larry Page was a little excited.

"I've met those three guys from Kaltix once, and at least I'm very impressed with them." Larry Page was so excited that he even stood up and said loudly, "Their Kaltix technology almost revolves around our PageRank technology.

Imaginative technology.

Their three algorithms: quadratic extrapolation, blockrank and adaptive pagerank are definitely the key technologies to improve our Fengyu search engine by several levels. It is a technology that can at least speed up our Fengyu search by 500%!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused a sensation in the search engine industry after submitting their paper to the 12th International World Wide Web Conference (2003)! Didn’t you see the sensation at the venue in Budapest, Hungary? On May 22, ask

He and Overture asked the organizing committee for their contact information on the spot."

With a bang, Larry Page hit the desk in a circle.

His roaring expression was even ferocious:

"From blogger to gmail and then to kaltix, we have always been one step behind. Let's not talk about gmail. After all, our funds are not enough to support the development of similar projects. But as you know, blogger and kaltix are the best after our evaluation.

One of the key projects suitable for our Fengyu to expand.

But after such a long time, there has always been a figure like a mastermind behind the scenes staring at us, but we don’t know who he is. Do you know this feeling? A feeling of being stared at by a hunter in the dark!

You can only feel fearful, helpless, directionless, and even trembling..."

"Larry~~Dude~~Dude~~relax..."

Sergey comforted him, but he didn't know what to say.

Because of the feelings of old friends before me,

In fact, that's how he feels too.

hesitant,

helpless,

Lost direction.

During the week that the Emperor Penguin delegation came to the United States, Xi Dan felt that he saw different Western companies up close.

The management mechanism is rigid, but the process is clear.

There is Specax, which has a flat department structure but is extremely efficient.

There is McKinsey, which has a loose team structure but operates smoothly.

Of course, what surprised Xi Dan the most were two companies, Lingying and Myspace, which were very similar to Emperor Penguin.

Because in them, Xi Dan saw the same gene as the Emperor Penguin office staff - hard work.

Xi Dan always thought that Westerners were lazy and they did not work as hard as Easterners.

But this time, whether in Lingying or MySpace, he saw a group of overtime maniacs.

Although they do not often leave the company at 23:00 like Emperor Penguin employees, this group of young Western software engineers are often busy until eight or nine o'clock in the evening local time in the United States.

Do Westerners work more than 8 hours a day?

What an incredible thing!

You must know that whether it is eleven o'clock in the evening or eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I have rarely seen similar situations in Zhongxing Company before. Maybe some development departments will work overtime, but like Emperor Penguin, Lingying, and Myspace

Working overtime like this day after day.

Too little!

Not to mention the Chinese founder of MySpace named Chen Shijun, who has been spotted sleeping directly in the company several times in the past few days!

When he asked out of curiosity one day, he received an astonishing reply from Chen Shijun.

"Isn't this a common thing? When we were still at Beibao, when Ning was at his craziest, he would keep us busy for three days and three nights!"

How old was the master at that time?

Be 17!

this……

"What's wrong, Mr. Xi, why are you so dazed here?"

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and looked at Xi Dan, who was so distracted that he almost stuffed the coffee cup into his nose. He was curious, "Are you driven crazy by the pace of the past two days? When can you still inhale this coffee through your nose?"

"

After hearing the sound and coming back to his senses, Xi Dan realized that Yang Jian had walked closer, with his signature Maitreya-like smile on his face.

Speaking of which, the two oldest people in the Emperor Penguin Company are him and the highly respected Yang Jian.

This middle-aged man who used to be the CEO of a state-owned enterprise has now shown strong ability in Diubao Trading Company, leading the young team of Diubao to achieve cumulative sales of over 100 million. Coupled with his age and low-key style,

Xi Dan was full of admiration for this big brother.

Xi Dan quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I feel like I've been feeling a lot recently. I didn't appreciate that our boss actually had such a large group of vigorous and vigorous partners in the United States. Moreover, I didn't expect that he would also be involved in these projects.

Get involved.”

"I didn't expect that either," Yang Jian said with a smile, "but when I think about the first time I met him, the topics he and the second boss talked about. At that time, he was only 18 years old and had a very broad horizon, so I think even though

What he did seems complicated, but he must have corresponding ideas. And those ideas must be quite far-reaching!"

"Mr. Yang, you are patting the boss on his rainbow fart behind his back!"

"Ha, look, you have been greatly influenced by him!"

The two of them chatted and laughed, and it took them a long time to recover.

"He's going to Mute Tiger today?"

"Well, I guess it's already here."

Xi Dan nodded when he heard the words, and then sighed, "Elon Musk from specax, Reed Hoffman from the lead, Meg Whitman from Billionaire, Jerry Yang from dumb tiger. Especially the two at the back,

These are all well-known figures in the industry.”

As he said that, Xi Dan clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Look, what kind of big shots does our young boss deal with."

"Hahahaha, didn't our boss say it? Don't look at others as big shots now. As long as we work hard, we will become big shots in the future."

"I don't know if we are big shots, but the boss who brought two female companions to the cocktail party must be a big shot."

Ning Zimo suddenly felt that his nose was itchy, and he quickly turned his head and stretched out his hand to rub his nose. However, his little action was obviously inappropriate, because at this moment, Zhang Miaoying in front of him was helping him adjust his tie.

Zhang Miaoying's attention was originally still on Ning Zimo's tie. When his eye-catching movements attracted her attention, she realized that his body was very tense. Suddenly, there was a sense of humor in her heart. Zhang Miaoying felt that this young boss

It's also quite interesting.

She raised her almond-shaped eyes, looked at Ning Zimo's side face and smiled, "Boss, whether it's Whitman or Mr. Yang, these big shots have never made you nervous. You can't do it just because you've never let a girl do it.

You’ve worn a tie, so that’s why you’re so nervous.”

"Or are we two accompanying you to a cocktail party. This first time scene makes you nervous?"

Li Ying's voice came from behind Zhang Miaoying, making Ning Zimo feel helpless.

Ahem~~

Ning Zimo turned the hand between his nose to his lips and coughed twice. Taking advantage of the time when he shook his head and exhaled, he quickly relaxed a little and said:

"Ahem~~~ What are you talking about? It's just because it's my first time to wear a suit, so I'm inevitably a little uncomfortable with it."

Taking the opportunity to speak, Ning Zimo slowly turned around, but when he turned his head, his gaze happened to be facing Zhang Miaoying, who was staring at him. And Li Ying behind her head was looking at her exposed face.

Smiling teasingly.

Ning Zimo was slightly flustered by the two beauties staring at her like this.

Although Ning Zimo also saw many things in Yingying Yanyan's previous life, they were all scenes he, Luffy, and Lin Changxin went to nightclubs to see.

This is really the first time that I have to attend a reception with Li Ying and Zhang Miaoying like today.

Furthermore, for Zhang Miaoying to be so close as to tie him a tie, it was Lu Xiaona who did this in the previous life. In those scenes, Lu Xiaona wore his loose shirt most of the time, and even snuggled up to him gently and carefully tied his tie.

reason.

Those fragrant moments had been hidden in his memory for a long time, but Zhang Miaoying inadvertently extracted them. Even though the space and people in front of him had changed, when Zhang Miaoying's fingertips touched his tie, he could not help but think of those things.

memory fragments.

Just now, he thought of accepting the fitness card given by Lu Xiaona before coming to the United States this time.
