After dealing with the affairs of Europe, Xu Cun did not return to Xiangjiang or Beijing, but flew to the dream manor in California with his daughters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Cun brought the women to the Dream Manor not for a vacation, but for two people, don't get me wrong, this time Xu Cun is not two women, but two men - Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro.

That's right, Xu Cun came to the United States this time for the purpose of being a famous American Internet portal and one of the creators of the Internet miracle at the end of the 20th century, whose services include search engines, e-mail, news, etc., and its business covers 24 countries and regions, providing diversified network services for more than 500 million unique users around the world.

Born in Taipei, Yang entered Stanford University, where its electrical engineering department is part of Silicon Valley, four years ago, with honors.

Yang Zhiyuan studied electrical engineering, and in just four years, he earned a bachelor's and master's degrees, and met David Ferro.

This year, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro began creating Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide and are preparing to incorporate Yahoo Inc.

In fact, Yahoo's Niu B does not need to say much at all, not to mention its huge business in 24 countries and regions, and the fact that it has a 39 percent stake in Alibaba, which is worth more than $250 billion at its peak, makes even Xu Cun dare not underestimate it, and he will not hesitate to get it!

……

Neverland is very close to Silicon Valley, so close that it only takes more than 20 minutes to drive, and Xu Cun can reach Silicon Valley.

At present, the most promising company in Silicon Valley is not Yahoo, which has not yet been officially registered, but the company named after a browser "Mosaic" published by the National Supercomputer Application Center at the University of Illinois in Illinois last year Graphic's founder, Jim Clark, founded Mosaic in Silicon Valley.

After Mosaic was founded, the development team had to completely rewrite the browser code because the NCSA of the University of Illinois owned the copyright to Mosaic's trademark and the University of Illinois had transferred the technology to Telescope Entertainment.

In order to avoid trademark ownership issues with NCSA, Mosaic changed its name to Netscape Communications, Inc.

And Netscape is also one of the goals of Xu Cun's trip, of course, it is only a secondary goal, which can also be said to be a incidental goal.

Netscape was very popular in the previous life, even capturing 90 percent of the browser market share, and its market value soared all the way - at that time, it even easily trampled Yahoo under its feet.

It's a pity -

Later, Microsoft entered the browser market and released Internet Explorer!

It's not that Microsoft's IE browser is excellent, the key is that once Microsoft enters the browser market, it will easily dominate the browser market with the bundled sales of the windows system.

In the last life, when Microsoft entered this field, Netscape quickly failed miserably, and after 2,000 years, Netscape's market share plummeted from 90 percent to less than 1 percent.

Microsoft's windows system is a big killer, it comes with IE browser when it is installed, and it is impossible for other browsers to compete with it, only when the market is prosperous in the future, relying on powerful custom functions, can it compete with IE browser for the market, and Netscape browser is obviously impossible to survive to that time, therefore, Xu Cun's investment in Netscape is actually a short-term investment to earn billions of pocket money.

Although Netscape is currently the most promising company in Silicon Valley, Mosaic Netscape 0.9, the most popular browser browser of Netscape, has not yet been developed, so it is easy for Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who are now short of R&D funds, to sell 45% of Netscape's shares to Xu Cun when Xu Cun is willing to spend a lot of money.

In this case, if Xu Cun's acquisition team still can't handle Netscape, then Xu Cun's annual salary of hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent in vain.

Xu Cun didn't have too much entanglement with Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, so he handed over Netscape to Yuan Tianfan and they were in charge.

After that, Xu Cun took people to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro's "R&D room", which is the place where Yahoo was born in the future.

……

When Xu Cun appeared, not only Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese, but even David Ferro, an American, was extremely shocked!

It can be seen that Xu Cun is so famous.

Looking around at this hut that was less than ten square meters, the light was not good, and it was messy, Xu Cun first sighed secretly, "Sure enough, there is no difficulty in starting a business!", and then said to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro: "I heard that you have made a small software that collects hundreds of URLs?"

Listening to Xu Cun coming for their portal, Yang Zhiyuan, who was only in his twenties, and David Ferro, who was also in his twenties, were all excited, and David Ferro couldn't wait to say: "The one you said is the version that has not been upgraded, Yang and I also made a software, which is an upgraded version of the URL collector, which is similar to a phone directory, including news, entertainment, science, education and other fourteen categories, and then it can be subdivided further, users only need to enter keywords, and they can query the corresponding website information!"

After listening to David Ferro's words, Xu Cun's mind immediately came to mind the Internet navigation service of the previous life.

Xu Cundao: "Can you show me your research results?"

As soon as he heard Xu Cun's words, Yang Zhiyuan immediately said, "Mr. Xu, please come here!"

Xu Cun was not polite to Yang Zhiyuan, and sat directly in front of Yang Zhiyuan's dilapidated computer under his guidance.

Honestly-

For the DOS system, Xu Cun is really not used to it, even though Xu Cun has been playing games with the DOS system for several years.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun is more and more nostalgic and looking forward to the Windows system developed by Microsoft.

But-

Although he is not used to the DOS system, Xu Cun has been playing games with it for several years after all, so Xu Cun can also use it to skillfully switch screens and quickly find the imperfect Yahoo web navigation.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro glanced at each other and made sure that Xu Cun didn't understand the Internet at all.

Think about it, no matter how Xu Cun says, he is also one of the major shareholders of the Internet such as Microsoft and Intel, how can he not understand the Internet?

Soon, Xu Cun determined that Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro had created the prototype of an Internet portal, although it was still extremely immature.

Gently pushing the keyboard aside, Xu Cun looked at Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, and said, "I like your research results very much, let's start a company together, and I will give you ten percent of the shares." ”
