Silicon Valley

Seeing that AOL was about to go public, Henry knew he had to act faster. The Nicholas website is burning more and more money now, and the money raised through Netscape is about to burn out. In addition to the domain name management company and the West German Publishing House, the industries under Henry's name can pay Henry's dividends every year, and other industries are spending money!

Henry's hands were a little tight, and he felt a little stretched.

And now, Cisco, the fierce tiger, has shown its fangs and killed 13 small and medium-sized network equipment manufacturers in the United States in a row, costing 740 million US dollars! Here, Citibank and Morgan Bank together loaned Cisco a billion dollars. Cisco is non-stop and will continue to crush it. Any technology that is helpful to Cisco must be bought; all companies that threaten Cisco must be acquired!

Cisco's actions were so brutal that it stunned the United States, and even Sequoia Capital was stunned. Compared with Cisco, the company's pace is slow, and it is still developing steadily.

Henry said that the company will be finished sooner or later, just wait for it to be acquired by Cisco!

Capital World Play Capital!

The development of the rules is too slow. The fastest way to accumulate technology and scale is to acquire companies!

It is not without reason that Citibank and Morgan Bank help Cisco. First of all, Cisco is developing very well and has huge potential; secondly, Cisco is preparing to go public at the end of the year, and the listing contractors are the two of them! The more successful Cisco's IPO, the more Citi and Morgan make. Cisco's series of acquisitions will be the most suitable for Wall Street or investors! On the day of listing, the stock price does not know how high it will be!

What's more, Cisco is not buying companies randomly, but is very targeted. The acquisitions are all companies related to its technology, which can promote the development of Cisco. Therefore, acquisitions like this are extremely strategic and very commendable!

Originally, Sequoia Capital would definitely be involved in the listing of Cisco, but Henry already disliked Sequoia Capital, not only Henry disliked Sequoia Capital, but even the entire Cisco management!

Who told Sequoia Capital to vigorously support the company, this has seriously damaged Cisco's interests!

As the controlling shareholder of Cisco, Henry decided to kick out Sequoia Capital, which also won the strong support of John Chambers and others!

Sequoia is now in a very awkward position at Cisco, and it has become a complete display. Although it has a seat on the board, the bird has none. And in the company management, no one takes it seriously!

Ford Brook basically does not come to Cisco, and he is angry when he does!

However, Cisco's current negative equity ratio is very high, reaching -37%. But this point of negative equity is nothing. Many large companies have developed through loans.

Cisco doesn't have to worry about Henry, and it doesn't have to inject capital anymore, it can already be self-sufficient, and it can bully others!

But Pixar Animation Studios, Noah's Ark Company, Isearch Company, and Nicholas Group Company are burning money one by one.

Pixar Animation Studios' new computer-animated short film "Red's Dream" won the San Francisco International Film Festival's Computer Comprehensive Imaging Award and the Austrian PrixArsElectronica Film Festival's Kinnicas Award. Although this made Henry very happy, it was far worse than another achievement.

Pixar's self-developed program RenderMan is about to be completed. RenderMan is a computer image rendering system that is widely used in the production of high-end moving images. Therefore, it is also an indispensable technology in high-end fields such as animation films and special effects!

This special effect technology, which is of great significance to Pixar! Henry expressed great concern about this matter, and even had the intention to set up a special effects company similar to Industrial Light and Magic! It's just that the RenderMan program has not been completed yet, so we'll talk about it when it's done.

After that, Henry often stayed at Isearch company. After the improvement of the web crawler, it was indeed much stronger, and the patent was also registered. The next step is to analyze and process these web pages. This time, Henry proposed the concept of web page level. There are good and bad websites on the Internet, so the quality of the web pages returned to users is particularly important!

Henry stood in the crowd and said lightly: "So, we need to design a ranking algorithm to evaluate the importance of these websites, and then provide users with the best quality information!"

"My assumption is this, since every page will contain links to other sites, can it mean that the page has voted for these linked sites? So the more votes the linking site has, the higher its rating! But We also know that there are a lot of spam websites on the Internet, so for a good website with a lot of traffic, can we set its initial rating to be very high, and then cast more votes than the average website?"

After Henry finished speaking, he looked very calm. Google's PageRank (page level) is so famous that it has almost made Google's glory. This is not plagiarism, so don't be a search engine at all...

After listening to Henry's words, everyone immediately admired them. Even Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe claim to be geniuses, but compared with Henry, they are still inferior!

"CEO, what is the name of this ranking algorithm?" Luke Stowe asked excitedly.

"PageRank, page level!!!" Henry said indifferently. He is now not only the chairman of Isearch, but also the CEO of Isearch! With so many industries under his name, why did he act as the CEO of Isearch? Obviously, Henry's high expectations for Isearch are not so great!

When Henry was enjoying the glory, he said again: "Users generally search by title and keywords, so on the basis of mixing titles and keywords, you need to adjust the results through PageRank, so that the higher-ranked Pages are ranked first in the search results according to the site ranking order, thereby increasing the relevance and quality of the search results!!!”

"ceo, we understand!!!" everyone said in unison!

Afterwards, Henry assigned the task to go down. These employees are all top students at Stanford University, and their level is good. Combined with the two talents of Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe, the project should go smoothly. Writing code is not difficult, but thinking and design is difficult. It is not difficult to make a program, but it is difficult to make a program with excellent algorithm, extremely fast response and accurate processing!

Now the Internet is far worse than in the future, the amount of information to be processed is very small, and it is not required to be able to compare with Google, just meet the current needs!

Busy to October, Isearch's search engine is finally complete. Through the test, the search experience is still good, and it can return very accurate results within two seconds! The product can be launched on the market, however, Henry still asks them to continue to improve, especially the algorithm. Now there are less than 20,000 websites and less than one million netizens. The amount of information is very small. It takes 2 seconds for Isearch to return the result. It is conceivable how good this algorithm can be!

Now that Isearch's search engine is enough, companies under Henry's name will use this product and tailor-made search systems for Nicholas website, Netscape browser, Global Online, IMDB, Cisco official website, and Noah's Ark official website!

November 1st, this day is destined to be a sensation in the United States!

All the websites of companies under Henry's name have a search box, enter the content to be searched, click "Isearch", and immediately return the information the user needs!

This function is so practical and powerful that it caused the global online traffic to increase sharply, and the server was almost overwhelmed! Other websites also saw a huge increase in traffic, and the Netscape browser was equipped with a search box, and the stock price skyrocketed like crazy that day, and it couldn't stop! It is easy to reach the 6 billion market value mark in one breath! ! ! ! (Have you collected it? If you have, don’t forget to vote, please support the new book!)
