Chapter 63: Robin Li

After getting the passport, Liu Si asked Wu Ke to drive him, his father, and Xu Gang to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to take a direct flight to Beijing, and when they arrived in New York, the three of them had been on the plane for 19 hours, including troubles such as transfers.

When he arrived at New York's JFK International Airport, Xu Gang had already vomited all the food he had eaten the day before yesterday in his stomach, not to mention Liu's father and Liu Si, who were much worse than Xu Gang's special forces, and they had already vomited all the bitter water in their stomachs.

"Son, take a boat when you go back to China!" As soon as he got off the plane, Liu's father held his weak body and preached to Liu Si, who was busy spitting bitter water.

He raised his head and wiped the bitter water from the corner of his mouth with the napkin he had prepared long ago, swallowed the words that he almost promised his father, and sensibly refused, "Dad, it takes more than a month to take a boat from New York to China, and it takes too long." ”

"I'm just saying that it's really a crime to follow you to the United States!" Father Liu shook his head, knowing that a month was too long, so he no longer sought a way of transportation for the return trip, turned around and took a suitcase in Xu Gang's hand, to lighten Xu Gang's burden, after all, no one would feel good during the nearly 20-hour flight.

"Hehe, it's good to go abroad for a spin. In New York, don't be afraid to spend money, Dad, you just play a good game, and I'll be responsible for everything. By the way, you can taste the taste of foreign girls, I will never sue my mother. Liu Si smiled, most of the foreign girls are still in good shape.

"Liu Shao, I don't know if I have a share." Xu Gang and the Liu family have been together for a long time, so they are naturally very familiar.

"Yes, Uncle Xu has protected me and my father for nearly a year, and he has worked hard and hard, so he will naturally not forget it." Turning his head and looking at his father and Xu Gang with a smile from the corner of his eyes, "Both, what I said is naturally true, but don't play real, I can accept a one-night stand or something, if I bring it back to China......"

"Definitely just play, play!" Xu Gang hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he was just playing and would not engage in true feelings.

"Well, when you go to the United States, you naturally have to find the landlord for this matter. I think that these two guys are not good birds to come to Madrid and Li Haiping, and I will let them arrange this kind of thing. After speaking, without waiting to meet the two lewd men, he looked towards the waiting area by himself, looking for a sign welcoming Liu Si.

"Hi, long time no see." Through the isolation belt, after a while, I saw a brightly colored sign that read "Welcome Boss Liu Si to the United States", which was made of tape, hard box paper and wooden sticks, which was very unique.

"Hello boss!"

"Welcome to New York."

"You're doing well! I haven't seen him for a year, and I've gained a lot of weight. Looking at the somewhat obese bodies of the two, Liu Si said with a smile: "Did you come by car?" ”

"The car is parked outside, Uncle Liu, I'll pick up the luggage."

"Uncle Xu, give me the luggage!"

"Dad, Uncle Xu, give the luggage to these two guys, we have been on the plane for nearly 20 hours, and we are tired."

Went directly to a hotel near Wall Street to handle three suites, Liu Si really wanted to start doing business as soon as he arrived in the United States, after all, in a foreign country, he didn't feel safe with yellow skin, and he returned to China as soon as he finished his work.

For the rest of the day, they didn't go out to do anything else, so they hid in their rooms and got jet lag. Of course, on this day, Xu Gang and Liu's father also tasted the taste of American girls.

"Son, our time difference has also been adjusted, can we go to business today?" Father Liu opened Liu Si's room refreshed, and then entered the room and preached to Liu Dashao, who was washing.

"Dad, what does a foreign girl taste like? Tell me about it. Looking at his father's energetic appearance, Liu Si couldn't help but quip, so as to take revenge on the hatred of the two foreign girls who were too loud to sleep last night.

"Hey, hey... That's it......" Father Liu looked embarrassed, "Sisi, what are we going to do today?" ”

"Today I went to visit a capable man, a compatriot." While washing, he responded to his father's inquiry.

"Oh, capable people, what capable people, you tell me!"

Looking at his father's impatient appearance, Liu Si admitted that he couldn't help but be naughty again, "I won't tell you." ”

Dow Jones & Company is a world-class provider of business and financial information, as well as a major news media publishing group, headquartered in New York, USA, and the Wall Street Journal, founded in 1889, is Dow Jones's flagship newspaper.

The Wall Street Journal is a comprehensive newspaper featuring financial reporting, focusing on financial and business coverage, and has a wide international influence.

The Wall Street Journal launched the online version of the Wall Street Journal this year, and among the designers of the real-time financial information system of the online version of the Wall Street Journal is Robin Li, a well-known figure in his previous life.

The Wall Street Journal's online version of the real-time financial information system is also the world's first online real-time financial information system, and the technology used in this system is the foundation of Baidu: hyperchain analysis technology.

When he was in college, he studied the indexing method of scientific and technological papers in the library and information science major of Peking University (now information management), which made Robin Li think that scientific papers can determine the quality of a paper by the number of citations in the index, and the hyperlink is the citation of a page. The text on the hyperlink is a description of the linked web page, and the relevance between the hyperlink and the page can be calculated through this description. At this point, he has a general idea of the hyperchain analysis technology in his mind.

Robin Li was very excited, and immediately repeatedly demonstrated this theory and compiled it into a draft, and in 1996, he officially proposed the concept of "hyperchain analysis" and published related articles.

The importance of "hyperchain analysis" technology is undoubted, and Robin Li also thought of applying for a patent, but it is not easy to apply for a patent, and applying for a patent not only requires theoretical knowledge and demonstration, but also needs actual practical experimental data to prove.

Although he has worked in Dow Jones for nearly 3 years, Robin Li does not have much money himself, so he naturally needs to demonstrate "hyperchain analysis" and apply for a patent.

Historically, Robin Li would cooperate with Dow Jones, Dow Jones would pay for it, and Robin Li would use experimental data to verify the "hyperchain analysis" technology and seek to apply for a patent. Of course, after the cooperation, the owner of the patent for the "hyperchain analysis" technology is Dow Jones & Company, and Robin Li only gets permission to use the patented technology.

Liu Si has registered Baidu company in China, and Baidu domain name has also been registered. In this regard, he naturally has no reason to let go.

The main purpose of this visit to the United States is Robin Li and the "hyperchain analysis" technology.

Looking at the information with the gold finger, it was learned that Robin Li has not cooperated with Dow Jones Company at present, and has only published papers related to the "hyperchain analysis" technology in newspapers and magazines.

The Wall Street Journal works at the headquarters of the Dow Jones Company, and at the front desk under the Dow Jones Company building, the front desk ladies are two beautiful women, at least the pair of towering peaks are very attractive, and they want to have D cups.

"Good morning, do you need help?" The sweet voice of the beautiful woman makes the hot weather refreshing.

"Of course, beauty, we are looking for Mr. Robin Li, who is now the designer of the real-time financial information system for the online version of the Wall Street Journal." Liu Si was talking to the beautiful woman at the front desk, and Li Haiping acted as a translator on the side.

"Okay, sir, I'll call the network department to let you know, please be patient."

The beauty at the front desk said and pressed a string of phone numbers, but Liu Si's English was not good, so she naturally couldn't understand the content of the call of the beauty at the front desk, but she thought that she should have notified Robin Li to come to the front desk to meet her.

"Robin Li, someone is looking for you, you go to the front desk to have a look." Robin Li's supervisor got the call and left his office and yelled at the huge public office.

"Director, who's looking for me?" Robin Li wondered who was looking for him.

"You go to the front desk to take a look yourself, by the way, come back quickly, you have to finish the work in your hands today."

"Oh, well!" If it weren't for his own "hyperchain analysis" technology, Robin Li would have left or changed jobs a long time ago, after all, what Robin Li said now is a consultant of the online version of the Wall Street Journal, but a programmer if it is not good.

Robin Li, who rushed to the front desk, saw 5 yellow-skinned and black-haired Asians, to say that Asians are not uncommon on Wall Street, but there is a problem at the front desk, because there are only 5 Asians here at the front desk, so these 5 people must be looking for themselves.

"Mr. Li, I'm glad to meet you." When Liu Si saw the familiar figure, Li Yanhong, who looked more handsome and younger than the photo at this time, was very happy in his heart.

"You ......"

Li Yanhong's puzzled appearance fell into Liu Si's eyes, and he said very embarrassedly: "When I saw Mr. Li, I was excited and forgot to introduce myself, my name is Liu Si, Chinese, and Mr. Li is a compatriot." This is my father, Liu Hua ......"

Robin Li waited for Liu Si to introduce them one by one before he said, "I know you very much, so I don't know what you are looking for, please speak up!" ”

Naturally, coming here is to dig a corner, but it is still not good to speak directly to the people of Dow Jones Company at the front desk of the company, "Mr. Li, can you take the opportunity to speak?" ”

"Okay, please come with me." Robin Li looked at Liu Si's slightly embarrassed expression, and decisively agreed to Liu Si's request, after all, they are compatriots.

Standing in a relatively remote corridor and looking at no one around, Liu Sicai said: "Mr. Li, I flew here from China this time, and my main task is to find you, hoping that Mr. Li can return to China to join my company." ”

Robin Li thought for a while, and finally looked up at Liu Si's eyes, as if his eyes could speak, "Returning to China is the wish of every Chinese person abroad, there is our country, but also our home, and I am no exception." But Mr. Liu can tell me, what does Mr. Liu's company do? How do I get paid? ”

"The company's name is Baidu, and its main business is search engines. Mr. Li joins the company as the company's chief operating officer, and will receive 10% of the shares, with an annual salary of US$1 million, and the registered capital of the company is US$5 million. Liu Si picked out the key points, and briefly talked about Baidu and Robin Li's treatment after joining Baidu.

Robin Li was very moved to listen to Liu Si's words, you must know that his current annual salary at Dow Jones is nearly 200,000 US dollars, but he is not deceived by the immediate benefits, "Mr. Liu's conditions are very attractive, but why did Mr. Liu come all the way to the United States to look for me, although there are not many domestic computer technology talents, but there are still them." ”

"Mr. Li said with a smile, there are computer talents in China, but I think Mr. Li is ten times more important than them."

"Oh, how?"

"At present, no one in China can make hyperchain analysis technology." Liu Sijiong looked at Li Yanhong and preached word by word.

"Oh, I see." Robin Li is still very happy in his heart, his efforts have been recognized, and not many people can pay much attention to the hyperchain analysis technology even within Dow Jones.

"Mr. Li was right, I fell in love with Mr. Li's hyperchain analysis technology. Hyperchain analysis technology is one of the most important patented technologies for search engines, and it is indispensable. ”

"I think so too, Mr. Liu's eyes are very vicious." Robin Li is glad that his achievements can be known to others.

"It was a pleasure to talk to Mr. Li, and I wonder if Mr. Li would like to join Baidu." Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Si naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to explain his intentions.

"It's also a pleasure to talk to Mr. Liu, but I have to think about joining Baidu, let's leave each other's phone calls, and I will reply to Mr. Liu the day after tomorrow at the latest." Robin Li is very cautious, he can't believe Liu Si's words.

Robin Li's caution was unexpected by Liu Si, but it was also reasonable.

Thinking that Robin Li was currently worried about raising funds to test the "hyperchain analysis" technology, Liu thought about pulling out a check from Morgan Bank and writing $1 million on it, and handed it to Robin Li, "Mr. Li must give us an answer after thinking about it." Here is 1 million funds, which is enough for Mr. Li to verify the "hyperchain analysis" technology. Of course, I am not Lei Feng, I paid 1 million, and the hyperchain analysis technology finally applied for a patent If Mr. Li does not join Baidu, I hope Mr. Li can sell me the patent of the hyperchain analysis technology. ”

Hyperchain analysis technology later proved to be important, and search companies were on the rise. But in fact, before 1999, before Google succeeded in creating PPC for profit, Internet search engine companies were not taken seriously.

Naturally, the patented technology related to search is not favored, and before 1999, many search engine companies such as Infoseek, which Robin Li joined later, were not popular.

It is precisely because search engine companies were not popular before 1999 that Liu Si is very confident that he has bought the patent of hyperchain analysis technology from Robin Li without joining Baidu.

After taking the check in Liu Si's hand, Robin Li is really short of money now, and he doesn't follow anything for nothing, but he thinks that if he doesn't join Baidu after applying for a patent for hyperchain analysis technology, then he must sell it to Liu Si, "Okay, I accept the 1 million, if I decide not to join Baidu, then I will definitely sell the patent of hyperchain analysis technology to Mr. Liu." ”

"In that case, then I will thank Mr. Li in advance."

"Yes, I still need to work in the future, so I won't be far away from Mr. Liu."

"Goodbye then!"

"Goodbye!"

After Liu Si and Robin Li exchanged phone contact information, the two said goodbye to their own work.
