Two Messages from the System

September 20.

That day, Zucker, his chief assistant Billia, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, Google vice president and chief technology officer Sergey Brin, and Amazon Store's head of GG operations, Lach Peyton...

A total of 17 people!

They all boarded Zucker's private plane, the Lola, and headed for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Europe, known as the "Land of a Thousand Castles."

"Boss, LinkedIn and Golden Dawn Entertainment Group are both companies under your name, but you're showing some favoritism. You bought two Gulfstream G200s for Golden Dawn Entertainment Group back in 1998, and they entered service in May 2000. But what about LinkedIn? When I travel overseas now, I have to fly on commercial airlines."

As soon as he stepped aboard, Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, voiced his complaint.

Zucker showed no embarrassment at all. He replied calmly, "What's the rush, buddy? We'll have bread, and we'll have milk. One day, LinkedIn will have its own private jets, too."

"Fine!"

Jeff Weiner said helplessly, "I'm only reminding you, that's all. If I remember correctly, this is the fifth time I've brought it up."

"Hahaha, is that so?" Zucker gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.

Knock, knock, knock~

Just then, Sergey Brin, one of Google's founders, its vice president, and its chief technology officer, came over from the back of the cabin.

"Something up?" Zucker asked.

"Of course."

Sergey Brin held a position of considerable importance at Google. He was second only to chairman Larry Page, and his stake in Google was not much smaller than Page's.

In the blink of an eye, a document was presented to Zucker.

"Mr. Wald, this is Google's PageRank patent for its webpage ranking system. Larry and I discussed it, and we plan to grant the patent to Stanford University for free,"
