“Welcome to PARIS!”

After seeing Guo Shouyun entering the door, she stood at the counter next to her, wearing a red cap and a dark red uniform, the young girl who looked a little Mexican in appearance immediately respectfully said.

Guo Shouyun glanced at the other party briefly, then shifted his gaze to the side of the counter.

An oven with sausages, an incubator with hamburgers, chicken rolls, and pies, a catering and beverage machine with juice, milk, and coffee, and a freezer that sells Haagen-Dazs, etc., all passed through his eyes. .

After nodding with satisfaction, he turned his attention to the retail area, fresh food area and fruit and vegetable area next to it! Every place has only strips, and it is cleaner and hygienic than ordinary community stores, and of course it is more fashionable in design.

“How? Did you live up to your trust?”

Catherine Lincoln, who had an appointment with Guo Shouyun, quickly came to her after hearing that her subordinate reported that a “weird” customer had come to the store.

Glancing at her, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, pointing to the stool next to him, “Sit down and talk!”

After the two were seated, a clever employee quickly brought over two cups of coffee.

After expressing his thanks, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, “Catherine, it seems that I started looking for you to take charge of Guo’s family. It really was the right choice.”

“It’s good to satisfy a picky guy like you!” In addition to being happy, Catherine was also secretly relieved.

You must know that in the past few months, although Guo Shouyun has never been to the store to check. But during this period of time, the design proposal she submitted was called back no less than five or six times by the other party. After repeated revisions in the middle, it has what it looks like now.

Of course, Guo Shouyun also accepted some of her proposals. For example: change the store name to the more fashionable and open ‘PARIS’, which is translated as ‘Bai Lejia’ in Chinese, not ‘Guo’s Community Store’.

“How is the business?” Guo Shouyun asked.

“Not bad, farm, logistics, catering, retail, combined total monthly revenue of nearly 2.6 million US dollars! However, Bruce. I have no objection to your acquisition policy on the farm. But on the expansion of the Baccarat community store, Why do we have to buy property? It’s taking a huge drain on our cash flow, which is not already abundant.”

“Doesn’t the acquisition of properties also save us the cost of rent?” Guo Shouyun said.

“But we could have used this money to develop more stores, instead of having less than 30 branches like now!” Catherine is obviously not so easy to be persuaded.

“Catherine, Bellagio in the mid-to-high-end communities in large and medium-sized cities must own properties, and other places can be rented!” After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun said firmly.

Knowing the future development situation, he is very clear in his heart that if he owns the property now, in five years, he can reap 1.5 times the appreciation income. But this kind of thing that belongs to the future can’t be said to the current Catherine. After all, he doesn’t have much evidence.

However, the financial difficulties that Catherine said were also factors that had to be considered. Therefore, after some actual consideration, Guo Shouyun took a step back, gave up buying properties with less room for future appreciation, and only pursued the essence.

“All right!”

Catherine nodded, she wasn’t being unreasonable either. Owning a property can save at least 15% to 20% of the cost, and these Catherines also understand. But rather than saving costs, she hopes to expand rapidly, use revenue to offset costs, and go public for financing after forming a certain scale. This is the way most American companies do business. However, this is contrary to Guo Shouyun’s steady and steady operation in the early stage and gradual expansion in the later stage.

However, Guo Shouyun is the chairman of the company in the end. After he has made a decision and has taken a step back under her persuasion, Catherine must also compromise.

“Then can I take the group’s property as a mortgage?”

“Not for now!” After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun shook his head.

“Why?” Katherine asked in surprise.

“I’ll tell you later, but not now!” Guo Shouyun shook his head firmly.

In his opinion, the interest rate of going to the bank for a loan is still too high. And after 9.11, the Fed will lower the benchmark interest rate to an unprecedented 1%, and the discount rate will remain as low as 0.75%. At this time, the loan interest rate is undoubtedly the lowest and the most cost-effective time. But this is something that cannot be said to Catherine.

“…Of course, in order to support the development of the group, I will give you 10 million US dollars every month! I think this money is enough for the current Guo’s business group to develop within a year or two.” Guo Shouyun said after thinking for a while.

Catherine nodded, stared at him and said, “It seems that you have really made a lot of money in writing!”

Guo Shouyun smiled and did not continue the topic.

“Let’s go, it’s almost noon, I’ll treat you to dinner!”

“Okay, your treat!”

Catherine wisely didn’t ask any further, nodded and stood up with him.

After having lunch and chatting with Katherine, Guo Shouyun drove to Google’s office area in the afternoon. After returning from Los Angeles, he’s been here longer than he’s been at home and on LinkedIn.

“Boss!”

“boss!”…

With a smile, he responded to the greetings of the employees one by one. After this period of hard work, he has initially established his prestige among Google employees.

After passing through the office area, Guo Shouyun pushed open the door of his office and walked in. Putting the briefcase on the sofa, sitting down and turning on the computer, he checked his mailbox. After noticing the email on top, Guo Shouyun quickly remembered something.

Pick up the phone, think about it and put it down. He got up and went out to find Larry Page’s office, knocked on the door, pushed the door and walked in after getting permission, what he didn’t expect was that Sergey Brin was also there.

“Bruce!”

“It just so happens that both of you are here, so I won’t have to go and ask them one by one!” Guo Shouyun nodded.

“Come and sit!”

After greeting him to sit down, Larry Page said, “What’s the matter?”

“I know how developed Google Encyclopedia is?”

“We have been improving. However, this project is huge, and it takes time to recruit editors. I’m afraid it will be difficult to be satisfied in a short time.” Sergey Brin frowned.

“The development of Encyclopedia is a long-term affair, and there will never be an end, so don’t be in a hurry.” After a pause, Guo Shouyun’s eyes swept across the faces of the two of them, “What did you guys talk about just now?”

“Discuss the news display proposal you gave us. In addition to fixing 10 hot news every day on the right side of the search page, Sergey and I felt that we could also use the lower side of the homepage. After all, the number of page views here is the highest in Google. And, when the time is right, it can be advertised.”

“Larry, you and Sergey have a good idea, but now is not the time!” Guo Shouyun shook his head.

After the two looked at each other, they did not rush to refute. After getting along for the past few months, they all gave great affirmation to Guo Shouyun’s way of running Google. Moreover, the skyrocketing use of Google is also the best proof.

“…Although Google is now the world’s largest search engine based on Yahoo’s traffic, our position is still unstable. At this time, the most important thing to consider is the user experience of the website. When will Google become more than 80% of the world’s Internet users When we are the first choice when searching online, we can consider how to maximize the interests of Google while taking into account the user experience.”

After thinking for a moment, the two nodded together.

“Bruce, your words are always so convincing!” Larry Page laughed. Sergey Brin, who was next to him, also had a look of approval. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“I’m always complimented by you, but I will become proud!” Guo Shouyun smiled, “Okay, the joke is here. Let’s talk about Google’s international strategy.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the two instantly became solemn. After all, it’s about Google’s future.

“For the international market, I temporarily chose three countries as the priority this year, namely RB, Germany and France! These three countries have developed economies and a large number of netizens. They are places we must win.”

The two nodded and said nothing.

“In the first half of next year, it will be Spain, Portugal, and the corresponding Portuguese and Portuguese-speaking South America and Mexico. In the second half of the year, it will expand to the whole of Europe. Finally, it will be East Asian countries, especially China.” After emphasizing the last two words, A hint of emotion flashed in Guo Shouyun’s eyes.

“Bruce, you are the CEO of Google, and you decide the development of Google, we have no opinion!” Larry Page said.

“Yes, Bruce, we trust you!”

Guo Shouyun nodded, “You two, when we expand Google’s network to the world, we will become independent from Yahoo, and Google will become the most dazzling Internet giant in the world.”

“Get rid of Yahoo, why? Didn’t we have a good time working together?”

“Sergey, do you think they’re willing to work with us when we’re rivals with Yahoo in digital advertising?” Larry Page couldn’t help but ask.

“Almost forgot about this!”

Sergey Brin was taken aback. Compared to Larry Page, Sergey Brin really doesn’t have much business talent.

Then the three of them made some targeted discussions on the future development of Google, and then left.
