Life at the Top

“It’s nice to get to meet you two.”

Jasper reached out to shake Page’s and Brin’s hands as he spoke, approaching them once they got out of the car.

Page shook Jasper’s hand and spoke with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Laine. I’m Page and this is Brin, we’re the co-founders of Google. It’s an honor to meet you.”

“I’m honored to meet you as well.”

In truth, Jasper had seen pictures of these two people in his past life.

Page was a shut-in obsessed with technology, a direct and blunt man. While Google was still in its most difficult incubation stage, they had relied mostly on generosity to overcome it.

Brin, on the other hand, was more restrained and had more tact. He was more of a businessman than Page.

When Google grew, Page became the face of Google most of the time but true control of the company still laid in Brin’s hands.

He was a low profile man who had self-restraint.
