MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 31 search engine

   Chapter 31 Search Engines

  Kishimoto Masayoshi got a specific dormitory number for Larry Page and Sergey Brin, so he went upstairs to find it. He found the place and saw that the door was closed, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

   After a while, the dormitory door was opened. What Kishimoto saw was that a bed quilt commonly found in boys' dormitories could not be folded, and it was rare to be folded once. This is folded and it will be scattered, why bother?

   "I'm looking for Larry Page and Sergey Brin." Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

   After opening the door, Larry Page, who turned and walked in, stopped, turned his back 180 degrees and looked at this person he didn't know: "I'm Larry Page."

   Sergey Brin sat on a chair in the dormitory, turned sideways and looked at the stranger and said, "I am Sergey Brin."

   Kishimoto Masayoshi saw that the two he was looking for were not only together, but also roommates. He smiled and said, "Introduce myself, my name is Masayoshi Kishimoto. I'm from Tokyo."

  Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, completely confused as to what happened?

   Kishimoto Masayoshi walked into their dormitory and said, "I heard that you are working on a search engine."

  Larry Page and Sergey Brin suddenly came to a sudden realization, and they didn't think about how the other party knew. They blurted out in unison: "Yes."

  Larry Page showed a little excitement and couldn't wait to ask: "Are you from an angel investment company?"

   "Yes. I think your idea is very good. For example, when looking for materials now, you usually go to the library. Not only does it take a lot of time, but you may not be able to find what you want from it."

  Kishimoto Masayoshi of course knows that the Internet search engine is good, and he also knows its bad. The bad thing is that more than 95% of it is spam.

   In order to gain the two people's good impression of him, a stranger, he only said the good side, so as to resonate with them and himself.

   Sergey Brin stood up suddenly, his right index finger swayed up and down, and he began to get excited: "Our original intention at first came from what you said."

  Kishimoto Masayoshi completely showed a calmness. He had already prepared a set of lobbying words. In my opinion, for students who have not yet stepped into society and have always been in the ivory tower, money is to be discussed, but not the first.

   It is 1998, and American doctoral students also have ideals and feelings. You have to talk to them about your ideals and feelings first, and when you're almost done, you can transition from being emotional to knowing and benefiting.

   "The future development trend, I think, must be the Internet era. If you want to make a difference, you must seize the opportunity of the times. If you seize it, you will be able to stand out.

   This is one aspect, and the other aspect is to make a due contribution to the progress of human beings. After all, it is an unprecedented change and revolution in the way of life and work.

  Prove your worth in coming to this world. At that time, everyone will be able to find the information they want through the Internet, especially search engines, without leaving home.

  This not only greatly saves time and cost, but also greatly improves efficiency, making it extremely convenient and easy. " Kishimoto said eloquently.

   "Don't stand, sit down and talk." Sergey Brin gestured to the chair in front of him with his right hand, intending to let him sit down and talk slowly.

   "There is a coffee shop not far from your dormitory area. Otherwise, let's go there to chat?" Masayoshi Kishimoto is a person who has come from the university, and he naturally understands the thoughts of these people best.

   Chatting in the bedroom, although the privacy is high, but the lack of showing off. People, especially those in their student days, use the sense of showing off the most.

   This sense of show-off is not just about luxury and high-end consumption, but also about achievement. The more famous the school, the more idealists, and the stronger the demand on the latter, the more extraordinary it is.

   On the contrary, the less famous the school, the more concerned and valued the material things, the stronger the needs of the former, and the envy of others.

   "I think it's okay." Larry Page has become restless in his heart. I never thought that there would be angel investors who would come to me.

  The current situation of him and Sergey Brin is that even if the idea of ​​a search engine has entered the practical stage, it has not yet produced results.

  Until there are no results, it is naturally difficult to convince others how good this thing is, how can it change the future, how can it have a future.

   Even he himself is very clear that although the amount of angel investment is small, the risk is particularly high. Whoever gets money is not blown by the wind for no reason, and who will give it away for nothing?

   "In that case, let's go!" Kishimoto said with a kind smile.

  The reason why he chose the coffee shop on the campus is to make them feel at ease. After all, the campus is a familiar place for them, and they will not feel nervous and vigilant in their hearts.

  The other is to give them a sense of superiority. Others are either talking about love or talking about sesame and mung beans, and they have already started talking about angel investing.

   Angel investors all take the initiative to find them, which shows that their value is there, not the fantasy of two fools in the minds and mouths of others.

The purpose of   Kishimoto justice is to use their kind of student psychology to carry out an operation. Isn't there a word to say? The best cheaters in the world are students. The best way to make money is from students.

   The three walked out of the dormitory, chatting and laughing, going downstairs and walking towards the coffee shop. On the way, Larry Page and Sergey Brin praised Masayoshi Kishimoto for speaking English well.

   To this end, Kishimoto Masayoshi readily accepted and knew that they were telling the truth. However, in his opinion, there is more or less the element of flattering himself.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi can see through the inner world of the two from their words, and they are looking forward to their angel investment.

  Before coming, I was too worried. Now, those are all unnecessary worries. Suddenly an answer popped into his head.

   In later life, Larry Page and Sergey Brin did technology. One of the two positions in Google is the product president and the other is the technology president.

   Chairman is Eric Schmidt, CEO is Sundar Pichai, Chief Business Officer is Nicosh Arora, and Chief Financial Officer is Patrick Pichait.

   What does this mean? It shows that their strengths are not in business management and finance, and even less in conducting a business negotiation with others.
