Chapter 91 Direct
Google, Mayer, dressed as brightly as ever, was walking out in a hurry, but when he saw someone, he stopped.
"Susan," she called out to a middle-aged lady wearing a black shirt, short brown hair just reached her shoulders, and hexagonal metal earrings. She looked very capable and heroic between her eyebrows and eyes.
"congratulations,"
"Thank you," Susan, who was stopped by her, hurriedly pulled her hand and pointed to Page's office. "Sorry, I made an appointment with him,"
"Oh," Mayer nodded, "Is the little guy okay?"
Susan smiled, "It's pretty good, I just finished feeding,"
Susan, who was still in her breast-drying period, pulled her shirt and said, "Help me see, no,"
Because she was worried that she would get milk stains, she has been wearing dark-colored clothes recently.
Mayer looked at her chest, "No,"
"Thank you, I tell you, this time is so embarrassing. After the time of work, we will find time to gather, find a place to have a good drink, okay?"
Mayer nodded, "Okay,"
"Then I," Susan pointed to Page's office, and walked away with a smile.
"See you later," Mayer waved at her.
However, when I walked out, I couldn't help but look back.
Whether from a man's perspective or a woman's perspective, standing with Susan, Mayer seemed to be a full-scale crush on her.
But in the eyes of Google people, it is not necessarily true.
For Googlers, if Mayer is the facade of Google, then Susan Wosiki, who is not well-known in the outside world, is Google's God of Wealth.
She is in charge of Google's advertising business - she is the immediate boss of Sandberg, who was poached Facebook. She organized the development of Google's most important adsense. Currently, more than 90% of Google's revenue comes from her team.
Therefore, in many minds, Susan is more important to Google than Mayer.
Susan also shoulders another important responsibility, that is, mergers and acquisitions.
Just last month, she made a bold offer of US$3.1 billion to finalize the acquisition of the well-known online advertising service provider Doubleclick.
Around this company, two other well-known companies in the United States, Microsoft and Yahoo, are also very interested.
Because incorporating doubleclick will help increase their market share in the online advertising field.
But when Microsoft's highest offer of $2 billion, Susan decisively deterred the two opponents, especially Yahoo, with a 50% offer of $3.1 billion, exceeding Microsoft's quotation of $50%.
The Yahoo CEO Trisemel, who now seems to be unstable, finally launched his new advertising system, Panama, which he values, in early February after many votes.
The launch of this important advertising system has effectively increased the advertising click-through rate of Yahoo website.
This has led many investors on Wall Street to regain their confidence in Yahoo. The intuitive consequence is that since January this year, Yahoo's stock price has risen by one quarter, and correspondingly, although Google is still rising, it has only risen by 10%.
But this has not been the case in the past few years.
In the past few years, Yahoo and Google's stock price trends have shown conflicts, that is, Google's stock price continues to rise, while Yahoo continues to decline.
Some institutions in the market have given corresponding reactions to this situation. For example, UBS analysts have lowered Google's stock from "purchase" to "neutral", and investors are advised to wait and see for a while.
This is what Google, who has been used to being a favorite for many years, and Google, who has an inexplicable love-hate entanglement with Yahoo, is the least willing to see.
That's why Susan's heroic move happened this time.
Google’s online advertising is search advertising, while Yahoo’s online advertising has the advantage of brand advertising.
The growth rate of search advertising this year is far higher than that of brand advertising, and many analyses will increase the growth rate of brand advertising in the future.
And the advantage of doubleclick is brand advertising.
So this is an acquisition by Google that has invested heavily in making up for its own shortcomings.
Leaving such a merger to Susan is responsible for this kind of merger, which shows Google's recognition of Susan.
This made Mayer a little sour, she was not responsible for the acquisition.
To add to the notion, Susan joined Google earlier than Mayer. She is the 16th employee of Google and Mayer is the 21st.
The relationship between Susan, Page and Brin is also very unusual.
At the beginning, two young men came to the door to make Yahoo’s acquisition fail, so when they decided to do it themselves, they chose to start their journey in Susan’s garage.
That is, Susan was Google's first landlord and collected $1,700 a month for rent.
After nearly a year as a landlord, she quit her job in the Intel Marketing Department and joined Google.
Therefore, some people call her "Mother of Google".
When she joined Google, she was pregnant with her first child, so she became Google's first employee to have a baby, so she designed Google's daycare center.
After giving birth to a second child and getting maternity leave, I organized and developed an adsense that is crucial to Google.
Last month, when the doubleclick deal was finalized, she gave birth to her fourth child.
When getting in the car, Mayer thought about Susan's little belly that could not be hidden now. He looked at his plain belly. He didn't know what was going on, but he was a little envious for no reason.
When she was awakened by the sound of the whistle beside her, she felt that I must be crazy. How could I envy that ugly belly?
She turned the rearview mirror and looked at the face in the mirror. It was very good. It was when the youthfulness and the most brilliant and charming moments were faded. At any glance, she was so beautiful that she could not be faulted.
But, she looked at her lower abdomen again.
Susan already has 4 children. Perhaps it is time for me to consider this issue?
…………
In Page's office, Brin was also there. Seeing Susan coming in, he quickly stood up and gave up the sofa where he was sitting.
"Susan," Page also typing on the keyboard a few times, "How are the kids ready?"
"No problem," Susan smiled and looked at Brin.
Next weekend, her sister, Anne Wosiki, will marry Bollinger. Yes, Bollinger's girlfriend Anne is Susan's sister.
Her children will also take on important responsibilities in the wedding that is not open to the public.
"Did Sec approve our acquisition of doubleclick?" Page finally put down his keyboard and sat down.
Although the two of them have reached an agreement, because the acquired Doubleclick is a listed company, it also requires approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
"No," Susan shook her head, "but according to what we know, this should be soon,"
"What I want to talk to you today is another issue,"
"Advertising issues?" Brin glanced at Page.
In addition to mergers and acquisitions, Susan is responsible for advertising business. Since it is not a merger and acquisition problem, it is naturally an advertising problem.
And Brin and Page probably guessed what Susan would say at this time.
"Yes," Susan leaned forward, her hands crossed her fingers, looking very serious. "With Sandberg's joining, Facebook's online advertising has developed very rapidly. At present, it has become more and more competition with us,"
"I know that Feng is very important to the development of the company. It can be said that he was a very competent strategic director in the past."
"But so far, whether he is a strategic director or the third largest individual shareholder, whether he is competent, has many colleagues discussed it," he said.
“Not only Facebook, we are competing with Feng’s company, more and more, such as in the online video field,”
In this field, Susan is also responsible for the scope of responsibility (in the original time and space, she also presided over the acquisition of youtube and later served as the person in charge of youtube). However, compared with youtube, this area can be said to be very unsuccessful.
“Similarly, our development in the social field is also in conflict with his company,”
"I don't say that, I'm accusing Feng of providing Facebook and YouTube's creativity to the company, because we all know that Feng should have made arrangements for these two products before joining Google,"
"But, in the current situation of conflicts in all aspects, especially in the online advertising field, some colleagues in my team are now increasingly strong,"
"Frankly, sometimes I don't know how to explain this to them,"
Page looked out the window and pondered.
Susan said this, which means that she actually has some opinions on this aspect.
"Susan, I understand your concerns," he said.
"I came here today to ask a question," Susan looked at the two of them seriously. "I always feel that you and Feng have reached a tacit understanding on many issues. So, is it possible for us to acquire Feng's company in the future?"
