Silicon Valley

"Helen, what's the matter?" Henry took the mobile phone that Sean handed over and said.

"Chairman, Dell CEO Michael Dell just called. He said that Dell is going to be officially listed on Nasdaq on August 1!"

"Okay, I know!"

Henry hung up the phone, turned to Sean Houston and said, "Drive!"

"Mr. Williams, where are you going?"

"go home!"

After half an hour, Henry returned home.

As the night got darker, Henry took a shower and lay on the bed in his pajamas. Although it was late at night, Henry still couldn't sleep. He felt annoyed when he remembered what had happened today. He got up and turned on the computer, browsed the website at will, and suddenly found a post in the bbs forum of Stanford University with the title "FTP file retrieval software Isearch".

Henry opened it, looked at it, and was shocked at the time!

This FTP file retrieval software Isearch is a retrieval software developed by several Stanford University students. It is a searchable FTP file name list. The user must enter the exact file name to search, and then Isearch will tell the user which FTP address can be used. Download this file. Henry was shocked because although Isearch is not yet a search engine, it is the ancestor of all search engines in terms of how it works!

There is no search function in the global online, and the design similar to the search box has not yet begun! Global Online is now simply hanging up some websites with relatively large traffic!

Henry read this post very carefully, and silently wrote down the contact information of the person who posted it.

The next day, Henry went to Stanford University. Henry was very familiar with Stanford University. He didn't need to ask for directions. He just looked for the address. After thirty minutes or so, he found the person he was looking for.

The two college students who developed the Isearch software are both juniors in the Department of Computer Science, but they are not in the same class, but they came together because of a computer project in the school. Man of the Year!

One is Bill Joyce and the other is Luke Stowe. Bill Joyce was a little shy and didn't talk much, but Luke Stowe was very talkative. Henry learned through chat that Bill Joyce is a mathematical genius, extremely sensitive to numbers and proficient in algorithms, and Luke Joyce is a computer genius with a very high level of programming. For such talents, Henry directly told them his intentions.

"Bill, Luke, I'm going to start an Internet search company, and I want you two to help me!"

Bill and Luke didn't know Henry's identity. Through the conversation, they only knew that he was very insightful in computer and very interested in search. He was a fellow man! It's just that Henry is too young to start a company at all, and it is difficult to see the hope of the company's profitability only by relying on the search function. In view of these two aspects, Bill and Luke did not immediately agree.

"Henry, I advise you not to start such a company, I'm afraid it will go bankrupt soon!" Luke shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of going bankrupt. What's more, the company may not go bankrupt. Maybe it will become a super large company that attracts the attention of the world in the future!" Henry said with a smile.

Bill and Luke looked at each other and shook their heads, obviously not optimistic about the future of the search company. It's no wonder why Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, both math and computer geniuses, can become legends! Talent is important, interest is important, but so is vision and unwavering determination!

Henry smiled and took out two business cards and handed them to them. At this moment, what Henry needs to give them the most is confidence!

There is not much fancy on the business card, but simply printed with the words "Henry Williams, Chairman of Nicholas Group Corporation, Cisco Corporation, Noah's Ark Corporation"! There are also some chairman's names, Henry is not printed on the business card, such as the domain name management company, Pixar animation studio, West Germany publishing house.

Since becoming a shareholder in West German Press, Henry has not received any royalties from West German Press, but has invested all of his capital in West German Press. Now Henry's shareholding in West German Press has reached 65%, which can be Absolutely holding! In the new round of board elections, Henry was elected chairman with an absolute advantage! As for the post of ceo, it is still held by the original Edward Joe.

After the "Harry Potter" series of novels were published, Penguin Publishing gave Henry up to 30 million US dollars in royalties, and "Jurassic Park" also brought Henry 8 million US dollars!

Now Henry has a total of 60 million US dollars of deposit funds!

Sixty million dollars is enough for Henry to develop a search company.

Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe were shocked when they saw Henry's business card! These three companies are well-known, one is an Internet giant, one is a network equipment giant, and the other is a server giant. Whichever one is taken out alone is famous, and Henry Williams is actually the chairman of these three companies. This is really too much Exaggerated! ! ! !

But before they could react from the shock, Henry said: "The name of the new company is Isearch, and I will invest five million US dollars as the starting capital in the early stage. If you join, I will give you 5% of each of the shares. Rewards, if the company develops well, it will give stock options in the future. Whether you are willing to participate, the right to choose is in your hands.”

Although Henry promised to give each of them 5% of the shares, the company will further dilute its shares if the company raises funds later. Henry's shares will increase again... But if they can compare with the Google founder, Henry doesn't mind giving them more shares.

Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe didn't hesitate at all, and agreed immediately. One is that Henry's name is too loud, and the other is that the conditions Henry gave them are really too good. They can't think of any reason to refuse.

"We would like to join!!!" Bill Joyce and Luke Storr said in unison.

Henry smiled, it would be a shame if he couldn't settle the two college students by himself.

It didn't take long for the two major figures in Stanford's computer science department, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe, to drop out of school and start a business. They founded a company called Isearch in Silicon Valley. The company was not very large at the beginning, with only ten people, all of whom were Stanford University students. At the beginning of the establishment of the new company, Henry said: "Our goal is only one, that is to dominate the Internet search industry!!!!"

"Everyone knows that Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe previously made a software called Isearch. The main function of this software is to retrieve the file name of FTP and download it. But we want to be a search engine, this search engine. A system that can automatically collect information from the Internet and provide it to users for query after sorting. Therefore, the main difficulty of making this search engine is how to collect information from the Internet. The second is how to organize information to obtain high-quality information .Our search engine must be accurate, fast, and provide users with the information they need most!"

Henry picked up a pen and drew a picture on the blackboard, and said, "The Internet is like a spider web, we want to develop a program that can crawl freely on the spider web, follow the link addresses of web pages on the web, and link the web pages one by one. Read the content, and capture these web pages into the system for analysis and put them in the database. As for the name of this program, it is called a web crawler! Therefore, our current first task is to develop a web crawler!!" (new week Please vote for it! I have something to do at night, so I delayed the update until one o'clock in the middle of the night, so sleepy, my eyes almost closed when I was typing...)
