Kai-fu Lee resigned and left Google to express his resignation speech

Goodbye, Google

Kai-fu Lee

 

Time passes through a four-year journey, looking back at my career at Google over the past four years, all the happiness, achievements, and the difficulties and setbacks I have faced, all of this is like a movie on me
Is constantly flashing. At this moment, I can't help but feel different. In the past four years, Google China has been growing from a very small prototype. Till now, it has become a stable and mature company,
A company on track.

 

Throughout the four years, I have worked hard to bring Google's spirit of "equality, innovation, happiness, and fearlessness" to China. This process is not smooth sailing, but we stick to our own beliefs and values, and maintain strong patience and refinement.

 

We suppress our desire to make cooler and more dazzling products and strive to search for the best Chinese. Today, Google's search Quality in China is the most accurate, complete, and real-time. After optimizing Chinese search
With dozens of products launched, the layout of Google China is becoming clearer. Google Maps, Google mobile maps, Google mobile search, and Google translation have all ranked first in China. In addition, the launch of music search allows Internet users
Enjoy free music for the first time and create a brand new model for music downloads worldwide.

 

What impressed me particularly is the timely product and contribution made by our employees who love China in the face of snowstorms, earthquakes, and windstorms. It proves that Google Chinese love Google and China, it proves that Google's Chinese are both innovative and caring.

 

When I walked into the cafe at will, I saw young people using Google's integrated search and query information, using maps to view real-time traffic, and choosing their favorite "skin" (Computer Interface) on igoogle ), or when Google music is used to listen to genuine songs, I smile from the heart.

 

Google is a great and lovely company. I am very grateful for the opportunity to build Google China from scratch. At Google, I learned too much about Internet technology, innovative models, and values.

 

I have no regrets about Google, but there is still a defect in my life that I want to make up. In the past
In the past 20 years, I have the honor to learn and grow around Steve Jobs, Gates, and Schmidt. I have the honor to go through Apple and Microsoft in the PC age, and I have the honor to go through Google in the Internet age, I am lucky to see the growth of the top 3 companies
Success: I had the honor to have the most creative jobs in the two places when Zhongguancun, Silicon Valley, and China, emerged. I have more knowledge in the field of science and technology, and better understanding is the secret to enterprise success. These professional experiences
It is my most valuable asset. I very much hope to pass on these assets to Chinese youth.

 

My next step is to work with Chinese young people to create a novel technical miracle. I want to use my own initiative to take control of the overall situation. I have already reached this stage of my life and will not do it again. I am really afraid that it is too late.

 

Therefore, even though Mountain View in California once again stretched out an olive branch to me and hoped that I would renew my contract for another four years, I made a heartfelt choice at the moment, I hope to help young people dream about their own entrepreneurial dreams at the same time.

 

This weekend, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief from business development, strategic planning, resignation announcement, and work handover. I will straighten out my ideas this weekend. Next week, I will share my "from the bottom of my heart" plan with you.

 

Every time I think of a step I will take, I will think of the famous saying of Apple's founder Steve Jobs:

"The most important thing is that you have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. You already know what kind of people you really want to be. Everything else is secondary ."
