Chapter 30

"Helen, what can I do for you?" Henry took Sean's mobile phone and said.

"Chairman, Michael Dell, CEO of Dell, just called and said that Dell is going to be listed on NASDAQ on August 1!"

"OK, I see!"

Henry hung up, turned to Sean Houston and said, "drive!"

"Mr. Williams, where are you going?"

"Go home!"

Half an hour later, Henry came home.

As the night deepened, Henry took a bath and lay in bed in his pajamas. Although it was eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, Henry still couldn't sleep. He was chagrined at the thought of what had happened today. He got up, turned on his computer, browsed the website at will, and suddenly found a post in the BBS forum of Stanford University, entitled "Isearch, FTP file retrieval software".

Henry opened it and looked at it. He was shocked!

This FTP file retrieval software Isearch is a retrieval software developed by several Stanford University students themselves. It is a searchable FTP file name list. Users must enter the exact file name to search. Then Isearch will tell users which FTP address can download this file. Henry is shocked because Isearch is not a search engine, but from its working principle, it is the ancestor of all search engines!

Global online has no search function, similar to the design of the search box has not started! Global online is just a simple way to hang up some websites with large traffic!

After reading this post very carefully, Henry wrote down the contact information of the person who posted it.

The next day, Henry went to Stanford University. As for Stanford University, Henry knew it very well. He didn't have to ask for directions. He looked for the address directly. After 30 minutes, he found the person he was looking for.

The two students who developed Isearch software are both junior students in the computer department, but they are not in the same class, but they come together because of a computer project in the school, and they are not simple, they are the most influential people in the school!

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 chatting that Bill Joyce is a mathematical genius, extremely sensitive to numbers and proficient in algorithms. Luke Joyce is a computer genius with a high level of programming. For such talents, Henry directly told them his intention.

"Bill, Luke, I'm going to set up an Internet search company. I want you two to help me!"

Bill and Luke don't know the identity of Henry. Through conversation, they only know that he is very insightful in computer and interested in search. They are like-minded people! It's just that Henry is too young to start a company, and it's hard to see the company's profit hope only by the search function. In view of these two problems, bill and Luke did not immediately agree.

"Henry, I advise you not to start such a company. I'm afraid it won't be long before you go bankrupt!" Said Luke, shaking his head.

"Never mind, I'm not afraid of bankruptcy. What's more, the company may not go bankrupt. Maybe it will become a super company that attracts worldwide attention in the future! " Henry said with a smile.

Bill and Luke looked at each other, shaking their heads, obviously not optimistic about the future of the search company. It's no wonder that Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin can be legends because they are also math and computer geniuses! Talent is very important, interest is very important, but vision and unswerving determination are also very important!

Henry smiles and hands them two business cards. At the moment, what Henry needs to give them most is confidence!

There is not much fancy on the business card, just a simple print of "Nicholas group, Cisco, Noah Ark chairman Henry Williams"! There are also some chairman's names that Henry didn't print on his business card, such as domain name management company, Pixar Animation Studio, West German publishing house.

Since he took a stake in West German publishing house, Henry did not get the publishing fee of West German publishing house. Instead, he injected all the capital into West German publishing house. Now Henry's shareholding ratio in West German publishing house has reached 65%, and he can absolutely control it! In the new round of the election of the board of directors, Henry was elected chairman by absolute advantage! As for the position of CEO, it is still Edward Joe.

When the Harry Potter series is finished, Penguin publishing house has paid Henry 30 million US dollars in royalties, and Jurassic Park has also brought Henry 8 million US dollars!

Now Henry has 60 million dollars in savings!

Sixty million dollars, enough for Henry to develop the search company.

Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe were shocked when they saw Henry's business card! These three companies are well-known, one is the Internet giant, one is the network equipment giant, one is the server giant, which one alone is loud, and Henry Williams is actually the chairman of these three companies, which is too exaggerated!!!!

But before they could get over the shock, Henry said, "the name of the new company is Isearch, and I will invest five million dollars as the initial capital in the early stage. If you join, I will give you 5% shares as a reward. If the company develops well, it will also give you stock options in the future. Whether you are willing to participate or not is up to you. "

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

Bill Joyce and Luke stoke agreed without hesitation. One is that Henry's reputation is too loud, and the other is that the conditions given to them by Henry are too good. They can't think of any reason to refuse.

"We're willing to join!" Said Bill Joyce and Luke stozzy.

Henry has a smile on his face. If he can't deal with both college students, he will lose face.

Before long, Bill Joyce and Luke stoeher, the two most influential figures in Stanford computer department, dropped out of school to start a business. They founded a company in Silicon Valley called Isearch. At the beginning of the company, the scale was not large. There were only ten people, all of whom were Stanford students. At the beginning of the new company, Henry said: "our only goal is to lead the Internet search industry!!"

"As you all know, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe made a software called Isearch before. The main function of this software is to retrieve the FTP file name and download it. But what we need to do is a search engine, which can automatically collect information from the network and provide users with a query system after sorting. Therefore, the main difficulty of doing this search engine is how to collect information from the network. The second is how to sort out information and get high-quality information. Our search engine must be accurate, fast and provide users with the most needed information

Henry took up his pen and drew a picture on the blackboard, saying: "the Internet is like a spider web. We need to develop a program that can crawl freely on the spider web, read the content of each web page along the link address of the web page, and grasp these web pages to the system for analysis and put them into the database. As for the name of this program, it's called web crawler! So, our first task now is to develop web crawlers! "（ Please vote for the new week! I have something to do in the evening, so I have to wait until one o'clock in the middle of the night to update it. I'm so sleepy. I almost close my eyes when I code...)
