"Helen, what's the matter?" said Henry, taking the mobile phone that Sean handed over.

"The chairman, Michael Dell, CEO of Dell, just called, and he said that Dell is preparing to be officially listed on the NASDAQ on August 1st!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Henry hung up the phone, turned to Shaun Houston and said, "Drive!"

"Mr. Williams, where are you going?"

"Go home!"

Half an hour later, Henry returned home.

As the night wore on, Henry took a shower and lay down in his pajamas. Although it was eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, Henry still couldn't sleep. As soon as he remembered what had happened today, he felt chagrin. He got up and turned on his computer, browsed the website casually, and suddenly found a post in the BBS forum of Stanford University, titled "FTP file retrieval software Isearch".

When Henry opened it, he looked at it and was shocked!

This FTP file retrieval software Isearch is a retrieval software developed by several Stanford University students themselves, it is a searchable list of FTP file names, users have to enter the exact file name to search, and then Isearch will tell the user which FTP address can download this file. Henry was shocked because Isearch, although it is not yet a search engine, is the ancestor of all search engines in terms of how it works!

There is no search function for Global Online, and designs like search boxes have not yet begun! Global Online is now simply hanging up some websites with relatively large traffic!

Henry read the post very carefully, and silently wrote down the contact information of the person who posted it.

The next day, Henry went to Stanford University. For Stanford University, Henry is very familiar with it, and he doesn't need to ask for directions, he just looks for it according to the address, and after thirty minutes or so, he finds the person he is looking for.

The two college students who developed the Isearch software are both juniors in the computer department, but these two people are not in the same class, but they came together because of a computer project in the school, and both of them are not simple, they are the people of the year in the school!

One is Bill Joyce and the other is Luke Stowe. Bill Joyce is a little shy and doesn't talk much, but Luke Stowe is very talkative. Henry learned through the chat that Bill Joyce was a mathematical genius, extremely sensitive to numbers, and proficient in algorithms, and Luke Joyce was a computer genius with an extremely high level of programming. For such talents, Henry directly told them his intentions.

"Bill, Luke, I'm going to start an internet search company, and I'd like to ask you two to help me!"

Bill and Luke didn't know Henry's identity, and through conversation, they only knew that he was very knowledgeable about computers, and that he was very interested in searching, and he was a like-minded person! Given these two issues, Bill and Luke did not immediately agree.

"Henry, I advise you not to open a company like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before you go bankrupt!" Luke said, shaking his head.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of going bankrupt. What's more, the company is not going to go bankrupt, and it may become a super-corporation that will attract the attention of the whole world in the future!" said Henry, smiling.

Bill and Luke looked at each other and shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about the future of the search company. It's no wonder that the same math and computer geniuses are why GOOGL founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin can become legends! Talent is important, interest is important, but so is vision and unwavering determination!

Henry smiled and took out two business cards and handed them to them. At this moment, the most important thing Henry needs to give them is confidence!

There are not too many fancys on the business card, just a simple row of words printed "Nicholas Group of Companies, Cisco, Noah's Ark Henry Williams"! There are also the names of some chairmen, but Henry is not printed on the business card, such as the chairman of Pixar Animation Studio, the chairman of West German Publishing House.

Since he became a shareholder of the West German Publishing House, Henry has not received any royalties from the West German Publishing House, but has injected all the capital into the West German Publishing House, and now Henry's shareholding in the West German Publishing House has reached 65 percent, and he can have absolute control! In the new round of board of directors elections, Henry was elected chairman of the board of directors by an absolute majority! As for the post of CEO, it was still held by the original Edward Joe.

The "Harry Potter" series of novels is over, Penguin Press gave Henry a royalty of up to $30 million, and "Jurassic Park" also brought Henry $8 million!

Now Henry has a total of 60 million dollars in deposits!

Sixty million dollars, enough for Henry to grow the search company.

Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe were shocked when they saw Henry's business card! These three companies are famous, one is an Internet giant, the other is a network equipment giant, and the other is a server giant!!!

But before they could react from the shock, Henry said, "The name of the new company is Isearch, and I'm going to invest five million dollars in the initial funding. If you join, I will give you 5% of the shares as a reward, and if the company develops well, I will also give you share options in the future. The choice is yours whether you want to participate or not. ”

Although Henry promised to give them 5% of each of their shares, the company would further dilute their shares if the company raised money later. Henry's stake will increase again...... But if they can compare with Google's founders, Henry doesn't mind giving them more shares.

Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed. One is that Henry's name is too loud, and the other is that the conditions that Henry gave them are too good. They can't think of any reason to refuse.

"We'd like to join !!," Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe said in unison.

Henry was smiling, it would be a shame if he couldn't settle the two college students himself.

Not long after, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe, two of the biggest names in Stanford's computer science department, dropped out of school to start a business in Silicon Valley called Isearch. The company was small in the beginning, with only ten people, all Stanford students. At the beginning of the new company, Henry said: "We have only one goal, to be the leader in the Internet search industry!!!

"As you know, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe made a software called Isearch, and the main function of this software is to retrieve the file name of the FTP file and download it. But what we want to do is a search engine, a search engine that automatically collects information from the Internet, organizes it, and provides it to users to query the system. Therefore, the main difficulty of making this search engine is how to collect information from the Internet. The second is how to organize information to get high-quality information. Our search engine must be accurate, fast, and provide users with the information they need most!"

Henry picked up a pen and drew a picture on the blackboard, saying: "The Internet is like a spider web, we need to develop a program that can crawl freely on the spider web, follow the link address of the web page on the Web, read the content of the web page one by one, and capture these web pages to the system for analysis and put them into the database." As for the name of this program, it's called Web Crawler!So,Our current first task is to develop a Web Crawler!!" (Please vote for the new week!There is something at night, so it is delayed until one o'clock in the middle of the night to update, so sleepy, and my eyes are almost closed when I code words...... ）
