Chapter 966 Old Friends of So Many Years

It wasn't appropriate to stand there and watch Su Yehao brush his teeth and wash his face.

Zhao Yimeng went downstairs to wait for him first.

Linda Yun had a gossipy look on her face. She was very curious about what had happened before, why she saw Zhao Yimeng lying on Su Yehao's bed, and even heard her scream that she would bite him to death.

The fire of gossip was burning brightly in her eyes. Linda Yun brought tea and tentatively asked:

"What happened just now? Could it be that Ahao dared to bully you? That's unlikely, considering you only went upstairs a few minutes ago."

Zhao Yimeng smiled awkwardly.

The feeling of being held by that big hand just now made her scalp tingle, and she couldn't explain what kind of feeling it was.

Faced with Linda Yun's question, Miss Zhao shook her head gently and said, "It's nothing, just a misunderstanding. Did you just arrive in the United States this time? You're still sleeping in during the day, are you adjusting to the time difference?"

"Yes, we just arrived here yesterday afternoon. I went to Apple's headquarters with Ahao this morning, and I slept for more than two hours after coming back."

The time on the west coast of the United States is more than ten hours different from that of Hong Kong. Adjusting to the time difference is always a torment.

Zhao Yimeng smiled and said:

"The Young Master Su's reputation is really different. It's already spread like wildfire as soon as he arrives in Silicon Valley. Even the consultant I temporarily hired in Silicon Valley already knows he's here. It's said that he drank with Yahoo, Nvidia, and many other company executives last night. Is there going to be a big move next?"

Linda Yun didn't think too deeply and said casually:

"Yes, I was busy eating at the time. It seemed like they mentioned acquiring Yahoo or something. You also know Ahao's personality, he often acts on a whim. Yahoo's market value is so high, how could he just buy it?"

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it to heart.

Zhao Yimeng, thinking that she had learned explosive news in advance, immediately began to calculate the impact of a merger between Google and Yahoo.

The various benefits were obvious.

On the one hand, because of losing a competitor, Google's development potential would increase dramatically, and it would have the hope of taking the search engine market in most parts of the world.

In addition, the merged company would also have lower expenses in terms of traffic and publicity costs than it does now, which is equivalent to monopolizing the head market.

As expenses decreased, the profit margin would also hopefully increase to a new level, which would inevitably lead to an increase in valuation. At that time, it would only be necessary to bury oneself and develop forward, and many uncertainties would be swept away.

Overall, if these two companies really merged, it was likely to produce an effect greater than one plus one equals two.

Su Yehao knew this very well.

The reason why he didn't really push forward with the idea of Yahoo was mainly because he didn't want to affect Google's current atmosphere. Having an object to catch up with, and everyone working together, could effectively improve competitiveness.

As for the other aspect, it wasn't that he was worried about being taken over by Yahoo, but that Su Yehao felt that it was just a lamb to be slaughtered and not worth spending so much thought and money on.

Currently, projects such as Google Videos, Google Travel, Google Encyclopedia, Google Reviews, and Google Mail have made Google more diversified and not just a search engine.

With their joint efforts to provide users with a better experience, the ebb and flow between Yahoo and Google, and being dragged down, was only a matter of time.

Miss Zhao didn't understand his thoughts and really thought that Su Yehao was planning to acquire Yahoo.

After chatting with Linda Yun about recent developments, when she saw Su Yehao again, Zhao Yimeng frankly asked:

"You went to see Yang Zhiyuan yesterday to prepare for the acquisition of Yahoo? With the market share of these two companies, wouldn't you be sued for monopoly? I was originally planning to invest in a search engine company, and it's said that its technology is even better than Google's, but now I don't dare to invest anymore. The entire market is about to be wiped out by you."

Su Yehao looked at Linda Yun, how could he not guess what had happened, and reminded her:

"Don't be so clever. I don't have much interest in Yahoo for the time being. Besides, even if I wanted to acquire it, the application would probably be rejected. As long as I express even a little bit of intention, I'm afraid that a large number of Internet companies, including Microsoft, will give me trouble. They don't want to see another behemoth like America Online appear in the market."

Zhao Yimeng, clearly not believing his words, said with contempt: "We've been friends for so many years, and you're still hiding things from me. Not a single word of truth."

Su Yehao was slightly stunned, thinking about when he had lied to her, and said helplessly, waving his hand:

"Forget it, invite me to dinner when you want to invest, and come over and ask for my opinion. Anyway, you'll definitely make a profit. Although your parents are very good at doing business, it doesn't mean you have to be good at it too. Just like the children of athletes don't necessarily have to be athletes. Sometimes this is about talent. You just need to be beautiful."

Zhao Yimeng, who was a little angry, immediately calmed down when she heard the last sentence.

Just over ten minutes ago, she was thinking that she was being disliked after being taken advantage of. Had she reached the age of losing her charm? At this moment, hearing the words "beautiful," Miss Zhao said in surprise, "So, you admit that I'm pretty?"

"???"

Su Yehao thought he understood something, put on a look of sudden realization, and asked:

"Did you find that the local aesthetic is different from ours after coming to the United States? They嫌弃you for your thin arms and legs and not being sexy enough, so you were嫌弃, your self-esteem was hurt, and you came to me to find a sense of existence?"

"Go to hell, a lot of people flirt with me, okay..."

She was hungry.

Linda Yun and the others hadn't eaten yet either.

Without bothering the servants to help cook, Su Yehao took out his laptop and used Google Reviews to find a restaurant.

The top-rated restaurant nearby was actually an Indian restaurant, which made him extremely conflicted. He wanted to try something new, but he was also worried about ending up like Zheng Yongwen, lying on the operating table.

After flipping through the photos, he found that the chef was a white man, and the reviews said that the so-called Indian cuisine had also been improved.

Seeing this, Su Yehao was relieved.

If it were a real Indian chef cooking, he might not dare to eat it. Mainly because he didn't have such strong antibodies. Look at Zheng Yongwen, who had been to India, and Steve Jobs, who was treated by an Indian spiritual medium... the outcome didn't seem to be good.

However.

India has so many people, it is indeed a slightly promising emerging market. Whether it is Yanwenzi Group or Google, they have already gone there to seize customers.

And investors have already defaulted on Su Yehao's approach of bypassing the mainland market.

After all, the rules and requirements for Internet management are different, and business on the other side needs to cooperate with supervision, which is not so easy to do. Besides, they don't have such a big face, and they can't force Su Yehao to hand over the mainland market, and what's the point of fighting himself.

He took a car to the restaurant.

On the way, Su Yehao secretly sent a message to Vera, telling her that Zhao Yimeng was by his side at the moment and had also come to Silicon Valley to do business.

Miss Vera quickly replied with only a "(Σ(o?д?o?))" expression.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yehao quickly came up with a way to have her contact Zhao Yimeng directly, saying that she wanted to travel to California, and then find a way to meet...
