Chapter 230: New Financing
Ju Yong-jun knew what Kim Jae-ryong meant.
As a man who has been in prison, Kim Jae-ryong has the grace of knowing him. And Zhu Yongjun is a person who has extreme respect for righteousness, although he is not from a ruffian. But he was a good student since he was a child, but he was deeply affected by the death of a confidant.
Now, Kim Jae-ryong has seen that Lee Hae-jin's company has successfully made a search engine in the Korean language.
What Zhu Yongjun wants to do is to change this search engine to the Japanese version.
Because this incident may threaten the market share of the company's investor Sun Zhengyi's company in Japan.
Therefore, this project must be carried out in secret, at least not to let the censors sent by Japan know about it.
So, on the afternoon of the day Kim Jae-ryong assigned the task, Zhu Yongjun visited Lee Hae-jin's company. Then, he proposed to develop a Japanese version of the search engine.
"Japanese version? We don't have the technical reserves to do this!"
"That's what President Kim meant, and he said that he wants to use the funds for the next installment in this area! I've studied your code structure a bit, and I don't think the changes are too big, and the solution for Japanese is not significantly different from the Korean language!"
Ms. Lee knew that her company was not profitable at the moment. Therefore, Kim Jae-ryong must continue to invest money. Fortunately, they have just completed the launch of the first phase of the project, and the second phase of the project will only be included in the revision schedule after waiting for the product to go through a period of user experience, and then after polishing the feedback.
This process can take months, but it certainly won't be too long. So during this time, everyone really has time to do some other projects.
So Lee Hae-jin didn't fail to give Kim Jae-ryong face.
"Since it's President Kim's intention, then I'll leave my core team to you first, anyway, my side is mainly the work of the operation team now!"
"In this way, Lee Hae-jin transferred his confidants to Zhu Yongjun! So Zhu Yongjun invested manpower and entered the development of the Japanese version of the search engine!"
It's not easy, but fortunately, the company has registered a patent and published the relevant paper on the paper repository.
On the other hand, country H is based on Google's earliest paper on web page evaluation, and researches crawlers and search engine technologies.
In fact, each technology is realized on the accumulation of early technology.
For example, crawler technology has been very mature for a long time. Google's search engine has simply rebuilt a system based on the evaluation algorithm of web pages.
The system will give a score to the information value of the page, and the page with the highest score will be recommended first.
In the past, search systems would list pages full of keywords first. But such a web page has no value at all.
It's this tiny scoring system that has made Google's next-generation search engine possible.
In country H, because of the particularity of the Korean language, this set of technology needs to be redeveloped, that is to say, it is used on the web page composed of the Korean language, and a new evaluation system is needed to evaluate whether the page is valuable and recommended to users.
The same principle can be applied to the Japanese website.
When the user enters a search term in the search box, the database obtained by the crawler will filter out valuable web pages in the entire database and recommend them to the user.
And every time the number of users decreases, the crawler of the system will crawl the entire Internet to re-update the content in the database.
This cycle of operation is the basic principle of a whole set of search engine work.
The part that the Japanese version of the search engine needs to modify is the crawler's crawling rules and scoring part.
So in terms of change, it doesn't need to be changed drastically.
All you need is a little adaptation to the Japanese language.
Because of the reference of the preliminary work, Zhu Yongjun quickly found the development direction of the new version of the search engine.
At the same time, several solutions are being developed at the same time, as for the programming
Once the algorithm and scheme are decided, it is only a matter of time before the implementation is made.
And which solution to choose? It depends on the performance of the search engine in the actual application.
Although Kim Jae-ryong did not set a time, Zhu Yongjun arbitrarily set the development time for one month.
Because he knew that after a month, Li Haizhen would receive a lot of feedback from users, and then the whole team would have to re-devote themselves to the second phase of the development of the Korean version of the search engine.
This is how the algorithm is constantly being optimized, and it gradually becomes stronger in the process of constant changes.
And now Never has only opened up part of it, and that is to open up the search for Q&A.
Since this part of the search itself is carried out in the database inside the website that it operates, the entire Internet has not been crawled and searched. So the pressure of the early work is actually not much. And it's not really a search engine either.
I have to say.
Q&A sites are indeed a good way to go.
Originally, many people needed to go to S to find topics that they were interested in. But soon, the answer was sorted out and the easy-to-sort never, came into view.
In the beginning, I was a programmer at some big companies, and I would check out some of the articles about development published by Lee Hae-jin.
Later, the programmers who knew how to share began to consciously upload some new answers.
This positive feedback process is then reinforced.
Then some new themes were added to the site.
As the time of the month comes quickly, there is more and more useful information on Never. And users are gradually realizing how useful this website is through word of mouth.
Although Kim Jae-ryong did not use the red envelope array to expand the number of users for Naver. But the user's data is still a welcome achievement.
So at the end of the month, when the financial auditors of the company came to country H.
Seeing the latest website data, the other party is very satisfied.
"It seems that the new website is developing well, and you have opened up new real estate users in Japan, so President Sun is very satisfied with your performance!"
"But we are still very short of money, and I have used almost the $30 million investment promised by President Sun before, do you think we can start a new round of financing?"
"A new round of funding? I'll report this to President Sun, but have you thought about it? Where do you plan to go if you go public in the future, Tokyo, Country H?"
"Of course? I think it's a great experience to use people's money!"
