The last company is Google, which started a little later, but it is not far behind the above three. In the field of smartphones, it is Apple's only rival. Well, if you look for the four giants in the field of smartphones, they are Apple, Google, Samsung, and Huawei.

None of these companies are fuel-efficient lamps. Apple and Google don't say, Samsung's whole industry chain layout, Apple began to enter the field of mobile phone manufacturing, and it had to find Samsung foundry. Huawei, on the other hand, has entered the market after becoming a giant in the communications industry and successfully deploying 4G and 5G standards.

While Cang Yaozu was thinking wildly, Professor John Henness walked in with two boys. Cang Yaozu can tell by his face that these are Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Professor John Henness introduced several people, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were still a little young, and after a brief greeting, the two of them were a little shy to introduce the search model they had built to Cang Yaozu.

"To what extent has your search model been developed, can it be used for Internet searches?" asked Cang Yaozu.

"Mr. Cang, our search model is basically usable, but it is still far from being commercialized, and we have been perfecting it, but we are not manpowered. Sergey Brin said.

Larry Page added: "We have built a search engine called "BackRub" and are applying this algorithm to further optimize the search performance. ”

"BackRub, back-tracking, web crawler, that's a pretty simple name. Cang Yaozu wanted to laugh a little, science students do have difficulty naming names.

"I heard that Mr. Cang wants to create a search engine company, why don't we cooperate on this project, we already have a certain foundation, if we have your financial support, the follow-up research and development progress will definitely be raised." Larry Page wanted to seek Cang Yaozu's cooperation, but as everyone knows, this is exactly what Cang Yaozu wants.

"I don't know if you belong to this technology or to Stanford, but I am very optimistic about this technology, and I hope you can develop it to the extreme, to the most perfect state. So, I use my private equity fund to invest $100 million to build a new company, you will be responsible for the research and development of the technology, and I will hire professional personnel to be responsible for the operation of the company, what do you think?"

Hearing Cang Yaozu's proposal, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were a little confused, their search engine was still very rudimentary, and it was not worth much money now, and they suddenly had such abundant funds, neither of them knew how to answer, so they could only turn their eyes to Professor John Henness.

"Cang, are you sure you want to invest in this project?"

"Sure, I'm very optimistic about search engine technology, and I hope to take the research and development of this technology a big step forward. So, I'm going to give Stanford University a $1 million grant to get the technology, and then I'll have Larry Page and Sergey Brin set up the company's technology research institute, and I'll invite you to be the honorary director of the institute, and I'll hire more people here in Silicon Valley to perfect the technology together. What do you think of the company leaving you a 2% stake in the professor, and Larry and Sergey taking a stake in technology, and each of you getting a 5% stake in the company?"

"Okay, Cang, your pattern is very big, so let's do it, I'll take it as the honorary dean, but I don't want the shares, I didn't contribute much to this project. Larry, Sergey, what's your two's opinion?"

"Dean, of course we are willing, although this search engine is still very simple, but it is our hard work, and we are also willing to engage in the follow-up research and development of the search engine. ”

Larry Page and Sergey Brin happily agreed, and in a blink of an eye, they each had a net worth of 5 million, but they hadn't graduated yet, and there were myths everywhere in the Internet industry.

It's just that they don't know what they're missing. Ignorance is indeed blissful, because there is no harm in comparison, and the two of them can't even make up $100,000 now, and $5 million is indeed an astronomical amount for them.

"Dean, it's a pleasure to have this collaboration. Since I've invested so much in the new company, I don't want a small company that is obscure, so the new company and the search engine can't be called Backrub, the name is a little less recognizable, and I'm going to name the new company Google, Google Inc. Cang Yaozu didn't blush at all when he talked about this, there was no way, he was used to the things that hadn't happened yet, if they were all reborn, they didn't even have a memory, they didn't need it, it would be too stupid.

"Okay, this name sounds great, it is very similar to the pronunciation of GooGol, GooGol refers to the power of 100, which represents the massive resources on the Internet, and the name goes well with search engines. Larry Page clearly liked Google's new company name.

"If you like it, the development of Google's search engine will be entrusted to you, and you don't have to worry about promotion. You two are also Jewish, right, I don't know if you have heard of my ICQ company lately, this is a company from Israel, well, and there are a lot of Jewish Citigroup billionaires who are shareholders in ICQ.

ICQ recently moved to Silicon Valley, and I'm going to put Google and ICQ next to each other. When Google's search engine optimization is completed, I will bind Google's search homepage to ICQ together, and then ICQ's hundreds of millions or even billions of users will be able to use Google, the world's best search engine, so come on, you two, I'm waiting for you to change the world. ”

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were very excited when they heard Cang Yaozu's words, but they didn't expect Cang Yaozu to bring not only financial support, but also no need to worry about the promotion in the future. How could they not know the recent momentum of ICQ, the number of registered users has exceeded 12 million. The software is very easy to use, and their usual online communication is also done in the ICQ group.

Seeing that the three of them knew ICQ, Cang Yaozu hurriedly took out ICQ's invitation registration card, which he specially selected, which were 5-digit ICQ numbers, and these 5-digit and 6-digit ICQ numbers could not be registered, only invited to register. The 5-digit and 6-digit numbers were bought out by Cang Yaozu, and these numbers can be logged in the English and Chinese versions of ICQ at the same time, and the user data of the two are actually connected, but they are operated separately.

The three of them were very happy to see the invitation card in their hands, and now the ICQ number is already a very popular thing, and the current ICQ 7-digit number has been registered out, and the newly registered numbers are all 9-digit. The 8-digit ICQ number can only be registered in Huaxia and requires an ID card from Huaxia.

The 7-digit ICQ number is now bought by people on the Internet, and as for the 5-digit and 6-digit numbers, they rarely see anyone using them, and they think that the smallest number is the 7-digit number.

Whether it is in Huaxia Country or Citigroup, people who do not have a certain status and status, Cang Yaozu will not send ICQ's invitation registration card. These invitation cards and ICQ numbers are now status symbols and are non-transferable.

Cang Yaozu returned to Los Angeles, Melissa stayed in Silicon Valley to establish Google, and Ge Liqin and her team helped with legal issues such as the approval of contracts for the acquisition of MIPS and Newton.

Cang Yaozu learned about the promotion of ICQ, ICQ is now developing rapidly, tens of millions of dollars have been invested in promotion, TV, newspapers, the Internet and theater trailers are full of ICQ advertisements, Jennifer Aniston and several other advertisements shot by the six-person crew for ICQ are also online, the status of the national sweetheart is indeed not blown, it is more powerful than the Titanic group, and the number of registered users is rising rapidly.

Once the user scale of ICQ social software comes up, its self-driving force will be shown, and registered users will spontaneously promote ICQ, invite relatives and friends to register, and pull them into the group, which is the power of social software. As the originator of instant messaging software, ICQ has become a take-off trend after the technical improvement and financial promotion of Cang Yaozu, a bug figure.

Today's Internet users are embarrassed to say hello without an ICQ number. At the same time, the valuation of ICQ is also rising, and the Wild family's Wild Investment Bank has begun the listing operation of ICQ, and maybe ICQ will be able to complete the listing later in 97, and Cang Yaozu is happy to see it.
