When the entire Silicon Valley venture capitalists were eagerly waiting to meet with Li Mu, Li Mu took the initiative to visit Larry Page, the founder of Google who happened to be in Silicon Valley just like him at the moment.

In Li Mu's eyes, Larry Page's contribution to the world is greater and far-reaching than Steve Jobs. Although the latter has created many amazing products, the former has truly changed the world.

The contribution of search engines to the Internet is great. It greatly improves the efficiency of people's information search on the Internet. Based on this, it improves almost all the efficiency of people using computers.

Learning efficiency is improving, work efficiency is also improving, and even gaming efficiency is also improving. Just like Baidu will be fully integrated into the lives of Chinese netizens in the future, Google will integrate into the lives of netizens around the world.

Google is a technology-advocating company, which is inextricably linked to Larry Page himself. For everyday netizens, it may not be clear what Google's awesomeness is, but as a programmer, Li Mu, Compared with ordinary people, it is necessary to know more about Google.

Strong technical accumulation and patent precipitation make Google almost the most powerful Internet company in the world, and its technical application is far beyond the visual range of ordinary users, but at present, Google's market value is still It is not as good as Makino Technology, which is in full swing.

Li Mu admires Larry Page, and Larry Page at this time also admires Li Mu.

It has taken Larry Page several years from the creation of Google to the present. There are many far-reaching innovations at the technical level, but the commercialization level is a few levels worse than that of Makino Technology.

Li Mu arrived at the restaurant agreed with Larry Page ahead of schedule, and after waiting for about ten minutes, 29-year-old Larry Page arrived.

The first time we met, Li Mu was extremely nervous, but fortunately he was calm on the surface, but Larry Page's expression showed a bit of nervousness at a loss.

When facing Li Mu, Larry Page really has no confidence. He is nearly ten years older than Li Mu, but Li Mu's worth is much higher than himself. Google's current valuation is only about 10 billion US dollars, while Muye Technology Its valuation is already at least 20 billion US dollars. In addition, Li Mu also has a Muye game. This company owns the popular "Paradise Town". What's even more frightening is that Li Mu also There is a Taobao.com that is comparable to Amazon in China. If there is an authoritative organization to systematically calculate Li Mu's worth, he can even be at the forefront of the world's richest list.

Larry Page didn't know why Li Mu took the initiative to see him. In his opinion, he couldn't compare to Li Mu, so naturally he wouldn't feel that the other party would admire him.

After Li Mu shook hands with Larry Page and said hello, the two sat opposite each other. Li Mu said to Larry Page very sincerely: "Mr. Page, as a Google fan, I have wanted to see you for a long time. It is a great honor to finally have the opportunity to meet today.”

Larry Page didn't expect Li Mu to be so polite, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is so polite. In contrast, I am a fan of Makino Technology. As an excellent product, I use it every day. It is of great help to improve work efficiency and saves me a lot of time. It is definitely the best auxiliary office software I have ever used, and it is amazing."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Page,

You should see that the essence is not auxiliary office software..."

Larry Page said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it was my statement that was wrong."

Having said that, Larry Page added: "It is indeed a perfect and incredible social communication software. To be honest, when I saw it, I always suspected that this should not be a product of our era."

Li Mu was startled and couldn't help but ask him, "Why do you say that?"

Larry Page said seriously: "In my opinion, all aspects of the product are so perfect that it is unimaginable. In my opinion, it hardly follows the rules of all Internet products in this era, and its visual design language alone is very important. It surpasses all current Internet products, and its interactive experience also shows unprecedented user-friendliness, which is by no means comparable to current products, and, most importantly, the highly humanized product functions highlight the founding People have an extremely in-depth understanding of user needs, and on the whole, this product is indeed beyond the times.”

With that said, Larry Page looked at Li Mu and said with a bit of a joke: "Being able to develop such a perfect product proves that your thinking mode has surpassed this era. Without you and Muye Technology, the Internet industry would It may take more than five years to reach your heights.”

Larry Page's evaluation made Li Mu feel a chill down his back in an instant, and the tension in his heart was hard to describe in words. He will give the seemingly exaggerated evaluation of "beyond the times", but in fact it is infinitely close to reality.

Frankly speaking, in the process of pursuing the height of the product, Li Mu did not consider the issue of the "frame of the times", but after an indirect reminder from Larry Page, Li Mu finally had the awareness of the "frame of the times".

The so-called "era frame", to put it bluntly, is what the era itself should look like. If there is something that goes beyond the frame of this era, it will immediately appear extraordinarily different.

The current one is indeed beyond the times. It uses the design language, interaction methods, and product functions that Tengxun has used for many years, countless versions, and a little bit of precipitation after many years. In-depth understanding of needs, ordinary users do not have a sensitive industry sense of smell, and only think that this software is very useful, but it is not unusual for an industry god like Larry Page to have such a feeling.

If you take a 2016 S-Class Mercedes-Benz to erase all brand information and take it to the auto industry in 2002 to study, I am afraid you will feel the same way.

Excellent car designers in 2002, even Mercedes-Benz car designers will be shocked, because they can see at a glance that the 2016 S-Class Mercedes-Benz is in the intake and exhaust, the front and rear surrounds, and the edges and corners of the waistline. and so on, it is not the design language shared by major manufacturers in this era at all;

The chassis tuning engineers in 2002 will also find that the chassis of this 2016 Mercedes-Benz is complex and advanced, far beyond their own understanding. If they are paired with high-end things like electromagnetic suspension, they will doubt life even more;

The engine engineer in 2002 may also be surprised, why this 2016 Mercedes-Benz, the 3.0 displacement can burst out the powerful power of nearly 400 horsepower? And their 3.2-liter displacement engine has only 220 horsepower?

The gearbox engineers in 2002 will also be amazed that the top automatic gearbox they can make has only five forward gears, and the technology is not mature enough, and the shift response speed is also very slow, but why can this car do seven ? And the seven gear shifts are surprisingly fast, and at the same time incredibly smooth.

Today is such a product. It will not only make ordinary practitioners feel hopeless, but also make top practitioners like Larry Page feel extra surprised. Li Mu even doubts whether there will be anyone like Larry ·Paige looks at it the same, but at the same time, it is more jumpy and bold than Larry Page's thinking. Will someone even boldly assume that they are a traveler who has returned from the future world?

Just when Li Mu was nervous, Larry Page saw that Li Mu was silent and said, "In my opinion, it is precisely because of so many epoch-making progress that it has become an epoch-making product, just like the It was the shock that the first color camera brought to the world; just like the magical effect that penicillin brought to the world when penicillin was first discovered, it also shocked and inspired me, and made me realize that the original product can do the same.”

Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

Larry Page's thinking mode, when thinking about this product, has automatically ignored the option that it may come from the future, and his metaphor also made Li Mu feel a lot more relaxed. Before he was reborn, the world also There are often many epoch-making products, but no matter how powerful the product is, the world will not doubt that it comes from the future except for admiring and imitating it.

It may give the top people in the industry the feeling that it is the first camera that can take color photos. It subverts the black and white image world and gives them a great shock, but they will not really question whether this subversive product comes from the future. , will only seriously study the product itself so that I can catch up.

Li Mu, who was relieved, said to Larry Page: "In fact, Google is also an epoch-making product in my opinion. Its appearance has brought great changes to the entire Internet world. It is like giving each user a special computer. The Hubble Telescope for the internet world allows people to find what they are looking for and explore everything they want to explore."

Speaking, Li Mu asked Larry Page, "Mr. Page, I'm curious, what was the motivation that inspired you to create Google?"

Larry Page smiled slightly and said a little shyly: "When I was 22 years old, I was still a graduate student at Stanford, I had a great enthusiasm for the Internet, and the Internet as a whole was still at that time. In the gestational stage, there are no rules for everything. A few people are fighting on their own, randomly making some page products and filling them in the Internet world. It seems that the age of libraries has not yet been born. Many authors are writing books, but there is no book. The library was able to bring their books together.”

"Without a library, it becomes extremely difficult for readers to find books, so I came up with an idea, is it possible to build a 'library' on the Internet, just like a library collects various works and then builds a catalog of books, I All the information on the Internet can be downloaded, and then each page can be retrieved to form a product similar to a library catalog. In this way, users who want to see works in any aspect only need to be on my library catalog. Do a search and you'll find all the relevant works he wants to see."

Li Mu said in surprise, "Google's idea came from the library?"

Larry Page nodded: "Yes, the so-called search engine, the most appropriate explanation is 'library + book catalog', Google's program will continue to crawl all kinds of information on the Internet, build itself Cheng is the largest and most comprehensive 'library' in the world."

When Li Mu heard Larry Page's metaphor, he suddenly thought of Google Books in the future, the super online library with more than 20 million e-books in the future. However, in his impression, the birth of Google Books would take Later, Li Mu asked him: "Mr. Page, since you think Google's original intention is so close to the library, have you ever thought about building a real online library and digitizing as many paper books as possible? , and put it online for people to read?"

Larry Page was speechless after listening to the shock. In fact, he had already started the secret plan of Google Books this year. He didn't expect that the model of this secret plan would be guessed by Li Mu...
