????谷歌（Google）財務(wù)總監(jiān)帕特里克?皮切特20日出席了《財富》科技頭腦風(fēng)暴大會（Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference）。他的講話傳遞的基本信息是：冷靜，放輕松。他沒有正面回答關(guān)于如何進(jìn)一步使谷歌產(chǎn)品生錢的問題，只是說道：如果你造出了產(chǎn)品，錢總會來的。

????“大家都太緊張了，”他說：“每個人都在說：自從推出安卓（Android）系統(tǒng)后，你們已經(jīng)有36個月沒推出新東西了，現(xiàn)在你們只有搜索引擎了。事實上現(xiàn)在世界上每天都新增55萬臺安卓設(shè)備。在這樣一家公司里工作的感覺是很爽的，因為你沒有那種不斷要為下一個30天著急的那種強(qiáng)迫癥似的心理，因此你可以認(rèn)認(rèn)真真地去夢想如何改變世界。”

????皮切特給人的感覺是既自信又放松，只是他好像不愿意透露太多公司增長的細(xì)節(jié)。他表示拉里?佩奇正在努力使公司重返“創(chuàng)業(yè)速度”。其中的一個例子是，谷歌的Google+有時甚至一天更新兩次。于6月28日推出的Google+現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)擁用了1000萬名用戶。

????盡管谷歌最近從其他公司挖來了一些人才，但皮切特也表示，谷歌今年第一季度收到了60萬份工作申請，并表示谷歌的減員率也是“幾年以來的最低值。”當(dāng)主持人表示YouTube并沒有獲得大家預(yù)期的成功時，皮切特只是一笑置之：“用最簡單的方式，現(xiàn)在很容易就可以使YouTube贏利。但那將是一個大錯特錯的決定。如果你這么快就扼殺了創(chuàng)新，你就會錯失下一波機(jī)會。”

????只有在一個方面，皮切特承認(rèn)他的公司并非真的無與倫比。當(dāng)被問到像谷歌這樣一家大公司居然只繳納6%的聯(lián)邦稅率，這樣做是否太“邪惡”的時候，皮切特又是一笑而過：“法律又不是我制定的，我們和其他公司沒什么不一樣。”

????Just chill out, people. That was the basic message of Google CFO Patrick Pichette at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference this morning. He deflected questions about the next stages of monetizing Google's (GOOG) products by saying, in effect, if you build it, it will come.

????"Everybody's so nervous," he says. "Everyone's saying 'it's been 36 months since Android and you only have search. There are 550,000 new Android devices everyday. It's so refreshing to be in a company where you don't have that obsessive mindset of the next 30 days. Because then you can really dream about how do you change the world."

????Pichette came across as confident and relaxed—if reluctant to give too many specifics on the growth of the business--saying that Larry Page is working hard at returning the company to its" startup velocity." One example: the twice-daily iterations of Google Plus, which was released on June 28 and already has 10 million users.

????Despite some recent poaching of talent, he said the company received an amazing 600,000 job apps in the first quarter, and that attrition is at "the lowest rate it's been at in years." And he laughed off suggestions that YouTube hasn't been as successful as anticipated. "In its simplest form, it would be easy to make YouTube profitable now. But what a mistake it would be. If you try to stifle innovation too quickly, you lose the next wave."

????Only in one way did Pichette admit that his company was not truly exceptional. When asked whether it is "evil" to pay a 6% federal tax rate, he laughed it off. "I don't make the laws," he said. "I'm just like every other corporation."
