Walking out of the airport, a white man gave Li Qingyang a big hug.
"Welcome, Li. It's been a tough journey."
I'm a little flattered that the founder of Google came to pick me up despite his busy schedule. No matter how hard I worked, it was offset by your big hug." It was Paige. Li Qingyang didn't expect him to pick him up personally.
" You're welcome. What else is more important than our cooperation?" Paige pouted and said," Let's go. I'll take you to San Francisco to taste the food first, then we'll go south to Silicon Valley."
You're the master, so I'll listen to you. I can't do anything even if you sell me out today." Li Qingyang followed Paige to his car.
After getting into the car, Page said in horror," God, this joke isn't funny. Even if I wanted to sell it, I couldn't find a buyer."
Paige started the car and the two chatted for a while. They were like bosom friends who had known each other for many years.
At Fisherman's Wharf 39 in San Francisco, there was a seafood restaurant called Crab. It wasn't very high-end, but it was very unique.
After the two of them sat down, Paige introduced the Dungeness Crab to Li Qingyang." When you come to San Francisco, you must try the Dungeness Crab here. It's San Francisco's signature delicacy."
Li Qingyang was not picky. He did as Paige arranged. To be honest, he had eaten Dungeness Crab before and thought it was pretty good. The best method was to simply boil it.
Although the cooking method was simple, it was highly praised by the people of the United States because of its tender and tender meat. Another point was that this kind of crab was very cheap. A Dungeness crab weighing more than two catties was only about 30 dollars. Of course, he was referring to the supermarket.
For example, this pier restaurant that was salvaged and made first was not cheap even though it was near the pier.
Apart from Dungeness Crab, Paige also ordered something else. Because they were driving and had something to do in the afternoon, the two of them did not choose to drink. Instead, they ordered a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
"Li, you are a genius. Why didn't I think of that? You're right. Sometimes, losing money is more surprising than making money. Users and traffic are the foundation of an internet company."
"What we lose from our users, we can get more from our investors. "Tell me more, what other good ideas do you have?" Paige was so excited that his words were a little incoherent.
Looking at Page, who was looking at him with hope, Li Qingyang put down his cutlery and looked at him seriously." Have you ever considered the vast market of email?”
"E-mail? Why do you have such thoughts? Now, there are more than 100 types of email addresses in the United States alone. The market is basically saturated. If we intervene, we might not be able to achieve any results. "Not to mention those that charge, even if it's free, there are two giants, Hotmail and Yahoo. There's no reason for users to give up the products they're used to and choose us."
Page didn't really understand why Li Qingyang was so optimistic about the email market. In his opinion, it was completely uncompetitive.
Of course, Li Qingyang knew the current situation of the email market, but he also knew how Gamil, which was launched by Google, would dominate the entire global market in a few years.
Li Qingyang didn't suggest adding fuel to Google's fire to make it rise faster. Thinking of this, Li Qingyang looked straight at Page and said," What do you think of those emails now? Or do you think they have any shortcomings?”
Page thought about Li Qingyang's question seriously and said," The invention of email is undoubtedly a great advancement for mankind. This cheap and fast way of sending letters makes up for many of the shortcomings of the past."
" It has greatly improved the communication between people and promoted the development of society. I even think it is one of the greatest inventions of this century. "As for his shortcomings, I really don't feel them."
After thinking for a long time, Page did not think that the email was imperfect.
"Is that so? What about capacity? What if your email could store hundreds or thousands of emails?”Li Qingyang's words made Paige's eyes light up. In his mind, he even imagined the day when Google's e-mail became king.
E-mail was very convenient now, but its storage capacity was indeed a fatal weakness. The two mainstream Hotmail and Yahoo on the market only had a storage capacity of less than 3MB. He couldn't even edit a large message, let alone save it.
For example, pictures, you don't even have to think about it.
If Google had developed Gamil, a big guy with 1GB of storage, the result would have been obvious.
People didn't have to copy important information every time, and they didn't have to worry about sending the same letter twice. He could even add pictures. When a complete PowerPoint presentation could be instantly transmitted from the United States to all parts of the world, there was no reason not to choose him.
Looking at Page, whose eyes were shining, Li Qingyang asked again," What do you think is the root of Google's existence?”
" Search engine." Page answered quickly without thinking. He believed that Google's search engine was the best in the world, and it was indeed the case.
"Then why not start with the search?”After Li Qingyang finished speaking, he ignored the enlightened Paige and began to taste the delicacies on the table again.
Yeah, why not start with the search? This is our advantage. When the user doesn't understand or doesn't understand the content of the email, as long as you click lightly, Google will explain it perfectly for you.
Thinking of this, Page had a new direction for Google's expansion. He also believed that as long as he could make the product in his mind, he would definitely bring all the Internet users around the world into Google.
