Chapter 471 - Chapter 470: Google's Path to Hegemony

"Mr. Page, welcome!"

In the large Google conference room, Larry Page, the founder and CEO of Google, was extremely enthusiastic toward Kyle.

Sergey Brin, the second-in-command of the management team, was there;

Reg Silverstein, the first employee hired after Google was founded, a Dr. of Computer Engineering, and currently the head of the company's Technology Department, was also present.

The heads of various departments—including the Publicity Department, Product R&D Department, Finance Department, and Administration Department—a total of more than ten people, all showed great enthusiasm for Kyle's arrival.

"We are naturally very welcoming of Mr. Page's arrival. Not only are you our company's major shareholder, providing immense financial support to the company, but as a shareholder, you rarely interfere with company management, supporting our management team's work to the greatest extent. This is deeply moving to us," Sergey Brin said enthusiastically.

As his voice fell, everyone nodded in agreement.

Exactly!

Generally speaking, many company shareholders like to cultivate confidantes, dictate terms to the management, and seize control of the company. But Kyle is different.

Kyle rarely interferes with Google's management, showing immense trust in the management team!

After some pleasantries, company CEO Larry Page gave Kyle a brief report on Google's current situation.

"As of now, the number of registered employees at Google has reached 216;"

"Our company's office space has also moved from the initial small garage of just over twenty square meters to a small office of over 100 square meters. After continuous relocation, we finally have our current large and spacious office location."

When Larry Page mentioned this, many of the executives present immediately showed nostalgic expressions.

The garage with only three people;

The small 100-square-meter office location, where dozens of people were gathered, making it difficult to even move;

Until now, the Google Headquarters Office Building, which occupies 5 floors;

The arduousness of the process,

is enough for them to recall with pride.

"Since Google was founded, in just under 3 years, starting from nothing and being unknown, through continuous hard work, we finally managed to make Google Search the default Search Engine for the Yahoo Portal Website. Through this, our Search Engine has finally become the Search Engine with the highest market share today!"

"In terms of valuation, it exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars not long ago!"

As the words fell, thunderous applause erupted immediately.

Kyle was also quite pleased.

Time slowly passed, and two hours later, this brief meeting concluded.

The executives left the conference room.

Larry Page: "Mr. Page, Mr. Eric Schmidt is currently in Silicon Valley. I will arrange the time and place for you to meet him as soon as possible."

Kyle waved his hand: "No need for such trouble~ Just invite him over, and I'll talk to him right here. This time is just fine."

Hearing this, Larry looked hesitant.

In fact, he wanted to arrange a suitable time and location, auxiliary conditions that would maximize Kyle's acceptance of Eric Schmidt.

He did not want to conflict with Kyle on this matter.

He wanted to reserve enough preparation time for Eric Schmidt!

Sergey Brin, standing nearby, whispered, "Larry, the time and place of the conversation are not important. You must believe in Eric's capability, and you must also believe that Mr. Page possesses excellent foresight."

Larry took a deep breath and said firmly, "Alright then, Mr. Page, I will arrange for someone to invite him over now!"

...Half an hour later, Eric Schmidt arrived!

Larry and Brin excused themselves, leaving only Kyle and Schmidt.

Kyle got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Schmidt, you only have 20 minutes. Please use this extremely short time to convince me—convince me why I should support you becoming the CEO of Google Company."

In his previous life, although Kyle was just an ordinary person, after transmigrating, he had experienced many major events in just a few years, and his overall demeanor was incomparable to before.

Authority, dominance... nothing less!

"No problem!" Schmidt was also confident enough... "Firstly, the reason Google Search became the Search Engine with the highest market share in such a short time is naturally because Google's Search Engine Technology is advanced and superior to other companies. However, it is also because major internet companies over-emphasized Portal Websites while neglecting the Search Engine Market."

"Major internet companies neglect Search Engines, and Venture Capital Firms and Stockholders on Wall Street also severely overlook this market."

"All these reasons are enough for Google Search to take another step forward, transforming from the Search Engine with the highest market share into the hegemon of Search Engines!"

"But... what if they start paying attention to the Search Engine Market in the future?!"

"Bang! It's over!"

"It's not that I underestimate Google's strength, but we cannot underestimate the capabilities of those Internet Giants. Once they enter the Search Engine Market, Google's advantages will vanish completely, or even plummet to the bottom!"

Schmidt's words were like a heavy punch hitting a person's weak spot.

Google's rapid rise is a result of those Internet Giant companies not prioritizing the Search Engine Market... Currently, Google Search is the default Search Engine for Yahoo, the world's largest Portal Website. But what if Yahoo abandons Google and starts supporting other Search Engines, or even develops its own?

Danger!

Undoubtedly, this is a huge hidden danger!

Kyle said seriously, "Since you mentioned this problem, it seems you have a solution!"

"Of course!"

Schmidt's tone was exceptionally firm and decisive.

Speaking of this, Schmidt immediately took out a document and handed it to Kyle.

[Search Web Page Evaluation Mechanism!]

This was the title of the document.

Schmidt said solemnly, "This is my first plan for Google Company: before the major Internet Giants start paying attention to the Search Engine Market, we must establish the Search Web Page Evaluation Mechanism and set the Industry Standard for the search market. This will allow Google Search to completely become the industry hegemon. By then, even if those giant companies react, it will be extremely difficult for them to curb Google."

Setting the Industry Standard!

Establishing the Evaluation Mechanism!

This is undoubtedly a plan of great ambition!

For example, Cisco Company initiated a standard called "Cisco Certification" and established it as the Industry Standard. If you are an Internet Job Seeker who has not obtained "Cisco Certification," your value will decrease.

This point is recognized not only by job seekers but also by citizens across North America.

A first-class enterprise must set standards!

"As long as this plan succeeds, Google's dominant position in the Search Engine Market will be secured! In the future, few companies will be able to easily challenge Google's hegemony in this field."

"Afterward, we can naturally launch Advertising Services, Online Video, Online Maps, and other internet software businesses."

"In terms of Hardware Business, we can also start manufacturing core components for Artificial Intelligence, mobile phones, and computers;"

..."Finally, leveraging our position as the search market hegemon, we can venture into multiple businesses such as Medicine, Biology, Life Science, Venture Capital Funds, and Real Estate."

"From this point, Google's path to hegemony will be complete!"

The speech, lasting just over ten minutes, shocked Kyle's brain like a virus.

Holy crap~

Is this guy cheating?!

The plan Schmidt presented now is completely the path of Google's future rise and hegemony!

Kyle was profoundly shaken and could not calm down for a long time.

What is there to say now?

Of course, it's to agree to him taking over as Google CEO!

If it were anyone else, they might think Schmidt was rambling or bragging about this detailed, massive Strategic Plan, but Kyle is a transmigrator!
