534 Silicon Valley New Reds
Thanks to Google's cooperation with Yahoo to provide Yahoo with comprehensive search technical support, the early development of Google in this life is far beyond its previous life, after all, Yahoo in this life is also a global Yahoo.
Naturally, as Google becomes Yahoo's website search support, the number of Google's users is also rising, and as the number of users using Google increases, it is only natural that a comparison of the various search engines currently in use will take place.
For example, from the original catalog search like Yahoo, a large number of manual searches are increasingly being replaced by automated search forms like Google.
For example, Inktomi, the search engine technology provider before Yahoo used Google Search, and Infoseek (Infoseek), the search engine technology provider before Netscape Browser.
Yes, the early search engines did not have their own independent websites, and basically did background search technical support for the rest of the websites.
For example, Du Niang, who was famous in the previous life, was originally like these search engines in Silicon Valley, and was a back-end search technology provider for some portals.
It seems that it will not be until after 01 years that the search website of Du Niang, which we are accustomed to in later generations, will officially appear, 2 years later than Google.
……
In the early days, due to the small number of Internet users, these search engine companies made a lot of profits just by relying on this kind of technical support, such as Inktomi, Infoseek, etc.
However, with the massive increase in the number of Internet users, if this is still done, it is clear that the use of a large number of search information leads to excessive spending on the provision of such services, and in such a case, it is clear that it is not enough to rely solely on the service fees charged for the provision of technical support.
Search engine companies that know how to be flexible and more technologically advanced will naturally survive, such as Google and Du Niang, while companies that can't be flexible and have no innovation in technology will naturally be eliminated, such as Inktomi and Infoseek.
The former was later acquired directly by Yahoo, which has been Yahoo's search engine technology provider since Google launched its own search portal, and the latter was later acquired by Disney and eventually transformed into a portal.
With Google partnering with Yahoo from the start, Yahoo's search engine technology vendors have gone from one to two, i.e. Inktomi and Google.
The two search engines are used in Yahoo at the same time, so it is naturally easier to compare, and Google's search is more accurate and efficient than that of Inktomi in the early days, and its advantages have naturally been widely disseminated, and as a result, Google has slowly become well-known.
……
There's no doubt that Silicon Valley's venture capital has the sharpest sense of smell, and when Yahoo suddenly added a search provider, the subsequent performance proved that Yahoo still has a good eye, and the new search is significantly more advanced than the previous technology.
Naturally, Google came into everyone's sights. There is no doubt that Google has become the new celebrity in Silicon Valley, and as venture capital investors are ready to move, they may still be privately inciting the two inventors of the patented technology, which has also led to the distraction of Larry and Hilgai.
Of course, Larry and Sergey also understand that after all, it was Li Feng who directly acquired the entire patent, and Li Feng established a company after acquiring the patent, and directly gave the two of them 10 points of original shares, according to which, Li Feng is really a 'good person'.
But people's desires are endless, and when Google becomes more and more sought after, thinking that Li Feng only spent a million dollars to get everything from Google, the unwillingness in the hearts of the two is constantly magnified.
At this time, Larry and Sergei probably forgot that Li Feng directly spent millions of dollars to buy the technology patents of the two, so that the two of them became the middle class of the United States, and later enjoyed high salaries and super high benefits.
I forgot that although Google has indeed become a celebrity in Silicon Valley, in fact, Google is still facing huge losses every day, forgetting that the investment in establishing the company was Li Feng's money, and now it is Li Feng's money that is also losing.
……
Well, the only thing the two may remember is that today's Google is not worried about funds, and some venture capitalists are willing to invest, and if the current Google really wants to do something, Li Feng has the final say, after all, the company's legal person and controlling stake are Li Feng.
Although the two are also shareholders, but really speaking, they are just a 'senior worker', obviously, the two are unwilling, at this time, what the two want may be the control of Google.
People, no matter when and where they are, once they get into the tip of the horns, they will infinitely magnify the desires in their hearts, and this is the case with Larry and Sergey at this time.
After catching up, Li Feng and others, led by Larry Page and Hill Ge Blin, Google's golden partners in their previous lives, went to Google's conference room together after visiting Google.
"John, first of all, I want to say sorry to you with Hillgay, I think you should have heard, we have been in contact with many venture capital institutions and even some capital institutions, but it is only a preliminary contact.
We all understand that the whole company is still up to you, after all, all the patents of Google's search engine belong to the company and belong to you, I wonder if you have any arrangements for Google next?"
"Larry, Sergei, since you brought it up directly, I won't mention it before, I think you all know the process, I don't have anything to be sorry for the two of you, and after the establishment of Google, I didn't rush to intervene in the whole company, giving full trust to the two of you, I think a boss like me, the whole Silicon Valley shouldn't be able to find a second one, right?"
"Of course, whether it's Flycom, Google, or even Green Net Security, Sybase Database, etc., I think the whole of Silicon Valley knows the management method of St. John Lee, which is to give full trust to managers. Eric interjected with a smile.
"John, that's a well-known thing throughout Silicon Valley. ”
“…”
……
Facing Li Feng's straightforward words, Larry and Sergei immediately blushed a little and echoed a few times, after all, the two of them have only been out of college not long ago, and they are still a little bookish, not the old fox in the future.
I was thinking in my heart, John was actually really a kind person, after all, when Google first came out, both of them were ready to sell, and Li Feng took the initiative to give each of them 10% of the shares.
"Since that's all for today, then, Larry and Sergey, do you have a draft in mind and put it up for a look?" Li Feng used a straightforward way of talking to the technical men in Silicon Valley, and immediately asked directly when the two of them blushed a little.
"John, we... We want to buy back a little bit of the company's shares again, and we want to be able to raise a fund. ”
Larry Page hesitated for a moment, but finally put forward what he thought directly.
"Oh, it seems that this should be something you came up with after contacting some venture capital institutions, combining all parties, right?"
Li Feng is not angry, after all, Google's cake is too big, and he didn't think about eating alone, if he really eats alone, maybe in the future, Google will face the confrontation of the entire US imperialism, and what anti-monopoly is coming.
Similarly, there is no anger at Larry's suggestion to buy back a little bit of stake, even though any bit of stake may represent hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.
But even ordinary people in the previous life know that Larry and Sergey, Google's golden partners, have never been fuel-efficient lamps, and the history of Google's development in the previous life has long been proven.
The meaning of the two is also very clear, to put it bluntly, they hope to reduce Li Feng's voice in Google, after all, 80% of the shares are Li Feng's.
......
In the face of Li Feng's reply, the two were also speechless for a while, in fact, they acquiesced, after all, the two wanted to buy back shares, which required a huge amount of funds, so where did these funds come from, it was obvious that the two of them had reached an agreement with those venture capitals or something.
"Knock knock..."
At this time, the conference room was quiet, but Li Feng tapped on the conference table, making a 'dong dong' knocking sound and fell into silence at the same time.
Now Google has indeed become the new celebrity in Silicon Valley, it's time to introduce some capital, after all, Silicon Valley doesn't have the habit of eating alone, Li Feng thought secretly in his heart, after all, this is actually what Li Feng had planned before he came to Silicon Valley.
