Chapter 335: Search

Tang Miaomiao and Zhang Chen both returned to China, and Simba was left to Su Zhuohui to take care of.

Su Zhuoyuan actually didn't like cats at all before, she always thought that cats' eyes would squint into a line in the light, and they looked too evil.

Simba is very smart and can tell whether the other party really likes him, and when Tang Miaomiao and Zhang Chen were still there, Simba ignored Su Zhuorui at all.

But Tang Miaomiao has been out for a few days, and she hasn't come back yet, Simba began to panic, lay under Tang Miaomiao's bed and pondered for a day, and resolutely ran to Su Zhuorui's side to rub her head and sell cuteness.

Changed to a bag of wonderful fresh bags.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were a little scared when they saw such a big cat.

Simba circled around the two of them twice, sniffed, and lay at Su Zhuoyuan's feet.

Larry Page shifted unnaturally, he was very bad at dealing with the situation.

Su Zhuorui looked at the two curiously, originally she decided to invest in these two nerds, but because the other party asked for very little money, and she was doing the current hot search.

At the time, she had also done a risk assessment, and if the technology they said could be realized, there was no doubt that it would be worth a million or two million dollars at least to sell to Yahoo or Infoseek.

But she is interested in these two people now because of Zhang Chen's unusual attention to these two people.

"Sorry, sorry. But we really need this money urgently now, and our rankpage technology needs to be developed urgently, and we also need funds, so can you give us the rest of the money as soon as possible?"

Su Zhuorui said suddenly: "I heard that you rented a villa for $2,000 a month?"

Larry Page and Sergei Brin looked at each other, but they didn't expect Su Zhuohui's first question to be this.

The two nodded blankly.

Su Zhuoyuan said with a straight face: "Return it." โ€

Sergei Brin's eyes widened: "Why!? We need this house!"

Su Zhuorui was expressionless: "You still have 50,000 US dollars left, and the monthly rent of a villa is 2,000, and the rent expenditure alone accounts for half of your remaining funds in a year." โ€

Sergei Brin's face turned red: "We'll sell BackRub as soon as possible." โ€

Su Zhuohui: "Sell? You've talked to Yahoo and Infoseek, and Infoseek said that they've developed the next generation of search technology on their own, and Yahoo has rejected you if it's going to be a portal. If we hadn't continued to invest in it, it would have been stillborn. โ€

"You have to figure it out that you're running a business, not a kid. The most important thing in the startup stage is to save money, you spend too much money where you shouldn't be spending money, look at the report you gave me on the use of the money, $1,200 kayaks? Are you going to transfer to Oxford or Cambridge? $320 ********? Are you still in 10th grade?"

The two of them blushed, and Sergei Brin argued, "But we've already made Rankpage." โ€

Su Zhuorui snorted: "Okay, this is your only bright spot." But you have to know that Steve Jobs created Apple in the garage, William Hewlett and David Packard also created HP in the garage, Ford and Disney also started from the garage, and even Bill Gates all started from the garage and founded the Microsoft empire. And you, with nothing, actually rent a villa for $2,000 a month?"

Sergey Brin muttered: "That's because we don't have a garage. โ€

Su Zhuorui waved his hand: "Okay, there is a garage for rent next door, I have already rented it, and now I will sublease it to you, and I will only charge you $200 a month." โ€

Larry Page's eyes lit up eagerly, and he sighed for a long time: "Irene, we will get rid of that villa immediately." โ€

Sergei Brin looked at his friend who was stunned and lamented in his heart.

Su Zhuorui's face relaxed, and he handed them a check.

Larry Page took a look, a hundred thousand dollars.

Didn't you say 50,000?

Su Zhuorui rubbed Simba beside him, "The extra 50,000 yuan is an interest-free loan from Tinder Source to you, Zack is very optimistic about your rankpage, and this money is handed over to you in the hope that you can further improve it so that it can be marketed as soon as possible." The reason why you want to quit the house is to tell you how to run a startup, you know, there are countless new entrepreneurs every day in Silicon Valley, and there are countless companies that have received seed money to fail, and one of the reasons for the failure of these companies is that they don't cost money. โ€

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were very moved, not only gave them more money, but also taught them how to operate.

Su Zhuorui said casually: "Since your rankpage can't be sold, what is BackRub's next plan?"

Sergey Brin said: "We haven't figured it out yet, but Jerry Young said let's participate in their technical tender, and if we can win the bid, we can be their supplier." โ€

Larry Page didn't want to deceive Su Zhuorui, looked down at his toes and said, "We were taken away by the police in Jerry Yang's office, and this matter may also be in trouble." โ€

Sergei Brin glared.

Su Zhuorui said casually: "Haven't you considered creating a search website by yourself? It seems that you have only one way." โ€

Sergei Brin leaned back on the sofa in a dejected manner, "I thought about it, but now that the search market is saturated, Yahoo, infoseek and even AOL are involved in the search business, even if our technology is better, these big companies can easily beat us, and no users will buy our search services." In terms of feasibility, Jerry's plan is the most likely - to become a supplier to a large company. โ€

Su Zhuorui nodded, she also felt that it made sense, but thinking about the task assigned to him by Zhang Chen before, she said: "If you want to make a search website by yourself, Tinder Source is willing to make an investment of $1 million for you." โ€

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were incredulous: "Huh?"

Su Zhuorui shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant, it's Zack's, frankly speaking, I have the same opinion as you, I feel that the search market is saturated." It's not just me, it's almost all VCs in Silicon Valley who have this perception, and very few people are investing in search teams anymore. โ€

"But Zack's perception is different from everyone else's, and I don't know what he thinks, so if you're interested in doing your own search site, you can talk to him. However, he is now in Huaxia and will not be back until a week later, so you can seriously consider it. When he returns, meet with him. โ€

Larry Page was a little stunned by the news and muttered, "But, I would prefer to stay at Stanford as a lecturer." โ€

Sergei Brin is also reluctant, he prefers to sell the Rankpage technology all at once, make a lot of money, and then enjoy life.

Su Zhuorui smiled: "Haha, you guys are so cute, you just got a criminal record, although Stanford may not withdraw you from school, but the possibility of staying in school seems to be very low." โ€

Larry Page and Sergei Brin looked at each other, "Why did you forget this?"

The two walked out of Tang Miaomiao's villa, and Sergey Brin noticed that Larry Page had been silly.

"Hey, Larry, are you alright?" asked Sergey Brin, worried.

"Irene said we were lovelyใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ โ€
