Like other newly successful startups.

The current Google is vibrant, its employees full of energy, wholeheartedly wanting to become the next Yahoo.

Judging from the example of Yanwenzi Group, they have no doubt that the next person to receive stock options could very well be themselves.

This isn't necessarily because they think the Google search engine is really that good.

The employees' confidence mainly stems from their major shareholder, the famous Silicon Valley billionaire, the sole shareholder of Koko Ventures, a Yahoo shareholder, the creator of the TVT instant messaging software, and the mysterious wealthy young master from the East who acquired ICQ—Su Yehao.

Silicon Valley today is its own little world.

Every super-rich person who rises in this place is like a celebrity in the eyes of others.

If Su Yehao was still relatively unknown last year,

Now, he can wear a long list of dazzling titles, and is talked about by local Silicon Valley employees and entrepreneurs.

Su Yehao is only in his early twenties. He has not only bet on multiple companies and made a lot of money through investments, but also founded Yanwenzi Group, which is about to be listed on NASDAQ.

In addition, rumors from the outside world say that his family is very influential in Hong Kong and Casino, belonging to a family with deep roots. Coupled with a fairly good-looking Asian face, he has already gained a group of "fans" who are trying to summarize valuable experiences from Su Yehao's rise to fame.

In reality, there is nothing to learn.

After all, Su Yehao's family has a solid foundation. Not long after arriving in Silicon Valley with TVT, he spent more than 300 million US dollars to acquire ICQ... Just this one move alone is something others can't learn.

Information about Su Yehao's background has long been thoroughly exposed as he became famous.

However.

Many wealthy people in other fields try to dabble in Silicon Valley, but very few succeed.

The entire Silicon Valley is increasingly immersed in the beautiful dream of creating wealth myths. People often focus solely on success, and no one pays attention to failures.

Therefore, when Su Yehao came to Google, the employees were naturally polite.

The open office was buzzing with activity. The rest area was equipped with coffee machines, beverage machines, desserts, and fitness equipment, all for employees to use for free.

A large screen displays real-time statistics on the total number of daily searches and the total number of users.

Each different IP represents a different user, and the tracking and statistics are relatively accurate.

For example, today.

At four o'clock this afternoon, there are already more than 330,000 active users, and the total number of searches is as high as more than three million. This does not include the number of clicks and jumps within the webpage, but only the number of searches.

Fewer people use computers during the day, and the evening is the peak usage period.

According to Larry Page, the recent daily active users will soon be maintained at around 700,000, and the weekly active users can reach about 1.5 million.

Su Yehao usually pays attention to the specific situation.

He continued to gather a group of Google executives, including Danielle Kenning, who was transferred from Koko Ventures, and asked them to offer suggestions. Everyone had to think of problems that needed to be solved or suggestions for future development.

Danielle Kenning is now the Chief Operating Officer of Google.

In the eyes of the old employees of the former anti-link company, she is clearly Su Yehao's spokesperson in the company. Therefore, although she is beautiful, no one dares to mess with her.

Almost every company needs a strict and demanding executive, and Danielle Kenning has perfectly adapted to this role.

In the beginning, this woman still felt that staying in Koko Ventures could achieve good results, but now she certainly wouldn't think so.

Facing Su Yehao, Danielle Kenning raised her hand first and said with a smile, "Boss, I think what everyone wants to ask most now is when can we get stock option rewards?"

"Yes, according to the standards of other companies, we can be listed now. If you think it's not cost-effective to go public too early, then it's okay to arrange stock option rewards first, otherwise we'll have no goals all day long."

The speaker was Craig Silverstein, the former technology director of the anti-link company.

Relying on being the company's first employee, Craig Silverstein has now successfully become Google's Chief Technology Officer, and can be considered acquainted with Su Yehao.

Hearing this question.

Su Yehao stroked his chin, considered for a moment, and then replied:

"I do think Google's potential is more than that, and going public too early is not good for me. You also know the situation of Yanwenzi Group. I am very generous to outstanding employees who contribute to the company. Since you want stock option rewards, then I will let McKinsey Consulting help arrange a slightly more relaxed reward plan. With the company's current development speed, achieving the goals will definitely not be too difficult."

Danielle Kenning is considered to be Su Yehao's person, but as the Chief Operating Officer, she also needs to coordinate the conflicts between employees and the boss.

Since the equity reward plan has been delayed, many middle and senior managers already have opinions.

As the Chief Operating Officer, she can also fight for her own interests. Since Su Yehao took the initiative to mention raising opinions, she certainly wouldn't miss this good opportunity.

After everyone finished celebrating, Danielle Kenning continued to ask, "Then what about Larry and Sergey's fixed equity? Will they get stock option rewards this time?"

This question is a bit sensitive.

American employees like to be straightforward, and Su Yehao doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. He calmly smiled and said:

"In fact, I already regret promising them that the equity would not be diluted. I really should have spent a few million dollars more. I don't know how much more money I will have to invest in the company next, maybe it will reach the level of one billion US dollars."

"Larry, Page, there will be no rewards for you this time, but I publicly promise here that when the daily active users reach one million, I will personally give you two a supercar, and when the company goes public in the future, I will also give you a big villa..."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, and they were not disappointed.

They have already gained a lot by selling the company to Su Yehao. Now they are receiving high salaries and enjoying the dividends brought about by rapid growth thanks to Su Yehao's favor.

Compared with the huge pressure last year, what dissatisfaction is there?

Larry smiled and said provocatively, "If the villa is in Atherton where you live, boss, then I have no problem."

Sergey also smiled and said, "I'm the same as him."

As soon as these words came out, some people whistled, and some laughed and cheered.

As the wealthy area with every inch of land worth its weight in gold in Silicon Valley, the houses in Atherton have almost been bought up. Occasionally, when one is released, it is worth at least several million US dollars.

Su Yehao smiled happily and told them:

"As long as the company can grow to the point where it can be successfully listed, even buying a house in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles is what you deserve. I will personally introduce you to actresses..."
