Silicon Valley

Chapter 34 Shocking the World

Isearch company shocked the United States and the world overnight!

"I search, you can find out!" A popular phrase instantly swept the world!

The following week, in order to make Isearch grow faster, Henry decisively used the Netscape browser pop-up window. Henry now uses less and less of the pop-up window. There is a saying, if you don't need it, it's amazing! Frequent pop-up windows will definitely bring boredom to users. Over time, users will not pay attention to the content of the pop-up windows at all, but directly click X. But if you don't usually pop up the window, but suddenly one day pops up, then it will definitely make users feel a little curious!

Netscape browser has not popped up for a long time...

Brother is not in Jianghu, but the legend of brother still circulates in Jianghu! Every time the Netscape browser pops up, it creates a huge Internet sensation, and this time is no exception!

Many users are very curious about the content of the Netscape browser's pop-up window, and only when they click into it, they find that it is really amazing and powerful. The web interface is minimalist, with just a search box followed by a button that says "Isearch". Then there is a line of small characters below the search box to explain: "Enter the search information, then click Isearch, you can find it!"

After everyone tried it, they were all stunned!

They search a lot, and Isearch can immediately feed back the search results to the user.

Many people keep searching because of curiosity and fun, and then check the search results. They are very happy! Especially in college, search has become one of the fun of many college students. They searched their school's website, BBS, papers, etc. Some people searched their own name, they searched for their classmates' names, they searched for their professors' names. After some wonderful students searched their names, they happily put the search results on the BBS, and they suddenly became popular!

Big stars also love to use Isearch, because you can see websites or posts related to them, you can see an Isearch star popularity search list, and pay attention to your ranking!

Since Isearch, people seem to be inseparable from search!

Since the introduction of Isearch, Global Online has become even more powerful, and the market share of portal network accounts for 95%! And this was a huge blow to AOL and other portals, and now, they're basically surviving!

But now is precisely the critical moment for the listing of AOL. If the chain is dropped at this time, it will be finished. After the listing, it will definitely end in dismal!

AOL immediately held a press conference in response to the emergency. At the press conference, Steve Case loudly announced: "AOL will launch its own search engine!!!"

Steve Case must give investors confidence, no matter what, the slogan must be good!

We also have search engines! ! ! !

AOL's crisis public relations are very fast. In addition to holding press conferences, they also recruited search engine technical talents with great fanfare. On the one hand, they recruited personnel from schools and the society. . What Henry hates most is poaching. In order to prevent this from happening, Henry has promised high salaries and options as early as the beginning, not only that, but also signed in the work contract "If the employee voluntarily resigns and leaves Isearch, then within three years, The agreement not to engage in search-related work, otherwise it is a breach of contract. "The liquidated damages, Henry set very high, according to each person's position and salary, ranging from one million to ten million dollars!

AOL's hoe finally dug into the rebar!

Bang, it's broken!

AOL's poaching program has failed, and it can only recruit people according to its duty. Within a week, AOL formed a technical team of 20 people to develop the search engine!

This time, AOL learned well, they dared not infringe on Isearch's patent rights, but greeted Isearch in advance and expressed their willingness to pay the patent fee! At this critical juncture of listing, if there is a lawsuit and infringement of other people's patents, can this stock go up?

No matter how rogue Steve Keys is, he knows his proportions!

For a basic Internet patent such as a web crawler, Henry has to authorize the patent, or else a patent monopoly will be formed! According to Steve Case's temperament, he absolutely sued Isearch while researching and developing.

Since it can't be stopped, simply charge the patent fee. However, the PageRank patent, which Henry does not authorize, must not be used by AOL! PageRank is different from basic patents. There are various algorithms, but it is not impossible to circumvent. For such patents, it does not constitute a monopoly at all! In fact, Isearch has not published such patents and technologies!

AOL also doesn't know the search principle and mechanism of Isearch at all.

America Online's technical team began to stay up late to work overtime, often working until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, which was really hard work. They have to rush to develop the search engine before the end of December, because at the end of December, AOL is ready to go public.

Seeing that they only wanted to develop a search engine in less than a month, Henry shook his head suddenly and wanted to say to Steve Case: AOL is awesome!

Unexpectedly, in December, AOL really developed a search engine. However, many of the search contents are inaccurate, and the response is extremely slow. It takes five or six seconds to respond! However, if you are searching for some very popular information, the search content is quite reliable, and the speed is much faster!

AOL officially launched its search engine the day before it went public!

In the evening, AOL announced to the public: "AOL search engine independently developed by AOL is officially launched, and the traffic of AOL portal website has increased greatly!!!"

In order to understand his opponent, Henry used the AOL search engine and almost vomited blood!

For example, Henry searches for "Ford cars", but the returned results are horse-drawn carriages, trains, etc. related to the word "car". To find information about Ford cars, I don't know how many pages it takes to turn... And Henry waited until the flowers were full. Thanks, it just returned search results! What's even more bizarre is that Henry accidentally typed the word "beauty" to search, and then the search results were all AOL information, and you couldn't find any other information at all!

Then Henry tried the word "country", the word "zai", and the word "line" after searching. Henry had to "like 32" to AOL. It's really strong. It's incredible. It's a kind of information that turns all the English letters into AOL! ! ! !

On the second day, despite the huge number of people complaining, AOL's ability to make a search engine is a big improvement in the eyes of investors! And AOL is doing Internet access services, and now they have achieved a small success, they have developed a dial-up Internet access software. The pop-up window of this dial-up Internet software is so powerful that three times a day, three times a day, many users have been fooled to AOL!

Some of the new users are super novice, who have never been in contact with the Internet. Just click on a pop-up window and enter a website. They can't distinguish between good and bad.

AOL relies on this method to counterattack step by step.

But Xiaobai will become Dabai one day.

As a result, AOL often automatically runs away some users. Moreover, AOL now only provides Internet access services in its headquarters in Virginia. If it expands to the United States, Henry will say Alexander!

But in any case, AOL's development potential is very good, and it is highly sought after by investors.

On the day of listing, AOL's stock price rose rapidly like a rocket! By the end of the day, AOL's total market capitalization had reached $2 billion! America Online's market share is not high, and the main body of the company is a website company. Compared with the Netscape browser, which almost monopolizes the Internet, it is naturally far worse. However, even so, after the listing of AOL, the market value actually rose to 2 billion US dollars, which immediately shocked the United States and the world!

First, Netscape created the Nasdaq miracle, and then AOL took over the baton, and the entire Internet industry suddenly boiled! ! !

Seeing that the market value of AOL is as high as 2 billion US dollars after the listing, countless people are jealous, and they are eager to try, and they are also ready to make a big splash in the Internet industry!

However, just two days after AOL went public, Cisco went public.

Cisco, the super predator, is aggressive and has come to Nasdaq with its tyrannical and unparalleled attitude! ! !

Compared with Cisco, the giant crocodile, America Online is at best a small crawler.

Cisco has just been listed, and its market value has surpassed that of AOL. Before this Nima started, AOL lost!

Cisco's IPO issued 20 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, at a price of $20 per share. Subsequently, Cisco's stock price rose slowly, and by the end of the day, it was still soaring, and the stock price rose to $60 a share. Cisco's market value has also reached 6 billion US dollars, but this is obviously not the limit, and it will definitely rise the next day!

However, that night, there was a global sensation.

Cisco's rally is too fierce, too amazing, and countless media have been crazy about Cisco's listing.

At this time, a name suddenly resounded throughout the world! ! ! !

Henry Williams, male, 14 years old, 1/4 Jewish, 1/4 Chinese, 1/2 British, Cisco's controlling shareholder, holding 53.6% of the shares (after the listing, the shares decreased ), the youngest billionaire in the world! ! ! ! In addition, this person is suspected to be Henry Williams, the author of the American genius writer "Harry Potter" and "Jurassic Park"! ! !

99% similarity!
