Rebirth of the Wild Age

Larry eats hot pot more delicately, and only boils lamb, beef and vegetables.

Sergey has no taboos. This guy is very good at rinsing his belly. He said that the taste is crisp and it is especially suitable for eating with wine.

Song, is this part of the sheep too? Sergey asked, chewing on the tripe.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, The stomach of a cow.

Larry's face changed instantly. He remembered that he took a sip, and his expression at this time was extremely complicated.

Cow's stomach? Sergey swallowed the hairy belly in his mouth in fright, and said, Imaika, that sounds disgusting.

But it tastes good. Ding Ming said.

It's really good. Sergey couldn't help but took another piece, and he ate his wine.

Song Weiyang said: It's a pity that this is a Beijing-style hot pot, without duck intestines, goose intestines, pig blood, or pig brains, otherwise you will definitely like it more.

It is very intuitive to say this in English. Duck intestines, goose intestines, pig blood, pig brains... Larry was stunned, his three views collapsed, and his stomach turned to vomit.

Sergey seemed to have opened the door to a new world, eager to try: Can those things really be eaten?

I'll take you to try next time. Song Weiyang said.

I'm really looking forward to it, Sergey said.

Cough, Ali kicked his little friend under the table, and said, Mr. Song, let's talk about something else. What do you think of the Internet?

Song Weiyang said with a smile: The core of the Internet is: equality, freedom, interaction, and sharing.

Ali said: Equality, freedom and sharing are easy to understand, but what is interaction?

Song Weiyang said: In fact, the current Internet model is not yet mature. It is just a network replica of the traditional information transmission method. We usually watch TV, newspapers, magazines, and movies. We can only watch what the producers tell us to watch. The Internet The same is true, what the website allows netizens to watch, netizens can only watch what, there is no room for choice.”

Ali sat up straight: Please continue.

I learned from Ding Ming that in order to retain their users, those large portal sites resist excellent search engines, Song Weiyang said. It should not be. The Internet is an industry that encourages innovation, not discourages it industry. Today’s large-scale websites are suppressing the development of the Internet and treating the website as an electronic traditional media platform. The Internet in my imagination, Internet users and websites, Internet users and Internet users, can interact. Internet users can also participate In the construction of website content, everyone is both a content recipient and a content creator.”

Sergey was already a little dizzy from drinking, hiccupped: Do you mean the form of personal webpage?

The term blog has appeared a few months ago, and the idea of ​​a blog has been born for several years. But they are all non-mainstream. The real mainstream is the portal website. At this time, there is not even an encyclopedia website.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: Any website should allow people to have an interactive experience. Sohu.com, which I invested in China, will soon open a comment function this month. Netizens browse an article or a piece of news, and can reply below the content , to express opinions on articles, and netizens can also comment on other netizens’ replies.”

Oh oh oh oh, Sergey said in shock, That will be a great Internet initiative! Song, if your website is opened in the United States, it will definitely grow rapidly with this comment function.

Song Weiyang said mysteriously: I still have a lot of ideas, but they are commercial secrets, and you will know about them in the future.

Larry said: Mr. Song, I admit that you have unique insights into the Internet, not those Wall Street capitalists who only know how to make money by investing, so we are willing to accept your investment.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: I spent 500,000 US dollars to buy out the global Chinese website authorization for your search technology. In the future, any search engine that includes the pagerank algorithm will not be used on any Chinese website without my consent. You can Use this 500,000 US dollars, and then use your technology and management to invest in shares, and I will invest 3 million US dollars, and we will jointly create a search engine company.

It's okay to collaborate, but you can't run the operation, Sergey said.

Song Weiyang said: I generally don't get involved in daily management, but I reserve the right to veto the company's major strategies.

Larry said: This will not work. We have our pursuit, and we cannot change the company's future development direction because of the intervention of capital.

The pursuit of fart, as it sounds so nice, is not a compromise in the end when it comes to money.

Google was determined not to sell advertisements at the beginning. After receiving the first financing of 25 million US dollars, a row of advertisements suddenly appeared on the right side of Google’s search page. By the way, a CEO named Eric Schmidt was added. was completely dispossessed.

If there is no Wall Street capital to allow Eric Schmidt to parachute to Google, just with these two technical nerds in front of them, Google will never even think about getting bigger, and they can't even find their own business operation model.

Song Weiyang asked with a smile: Do you know Jinshan Company?

Larry and Sergey shook their heads together.

Song Weiyang said: China's Jinshan Company was also founded by a group of technicians. They almost went bankrupt at the most difficult time. It was I who continued to invest in funds for half a year without diluting their shares. That's how I got out of the predicament. They The wps software developed has completely defeated word in China, and now the market share exceeds 90%. I have never intervened in their management. I know that technical matters should be handed over to technicians, and I also respect their development strategies. It’s just that I will express my opinion at the occasional critical moment. I am the same for you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask about it.”

WPS? We met in an Internet cafe today. Sergey said.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Apart from me, who else is willing to invest in your search engine?

Larry bit his lip and asked: If we use 500,000 US dollars and technical management to invest in shares, and you invest 3 million US dollars, how should the equity be distributed?

Song Weiyang said: I want 60% of the shares.

No, too many. Larry shook his head.

How do you plan to divide? Song Weiyang asked.

Larry said: You can only invest 2 million US dollars and get 40% of the shares. We can find other people for the funds, but the technology is unique. Our search engine is the best technology in the world.

Indeed, it is the best in the world, the blue is better than the blue, and it is much better than Li Yanhong's technology.

It wasn't until 2002 that Li Yanhong launched Baidu's Lightning Project that it took nine months to do research and development before finally catching up with Google in terms of search technology.

Song Weiyang was noncommittal about the share allocation, but asked: How do you plan to operate the business?

Larry said: Try to cooperate with Yahoo and other large portals. I believe that with our technology, within three years, all portals will adopt our search engine.

So, the company is positioned as a search technology provider? Song Weiyang asked with a smile.

Good. Larry said.

Song Weiyang asked again: Even if all portals around the world use your search engine, what then?

Sergey asked: What then?

Song Weiyang said: Microsoft's operating system is linked to computers and application software, so they can occupy the market for a long time. However, it is impossible for your search engine to be permanently bound to any website. In the future, competitors will More and more, you can occupy 30% of the market share is already very powerful. How to develop in the future?

Larry was silent.

Sergey asked, Then what do you say?

Song Weiyang said: Of course, it is to make money desperately to expand itself and enrich its content, not just positioning itself as a search technology provider.

Yahoo is essentially losing money. It all depends on financing and listing. How can we make money as a search engine? Larry said angrily.

Song Weiyang smiled and took out the banknotes, and wrote a non-disclosure agreement by hand: I'll tell you after signing this.

The confidentiality agreement is very simple, that is, the Search Engine Keyword Sponsored Link Advertising Ranking model was proposed by Song Weiyang, and it must not be disclosed to a third party, and it must not be used for the search engine company created by Larry and Sergey without permission.

The last sentence is the point.

The two technical geeks didn't even want to advertise, let alone sponsored link advertisement rankings. Under the trend of curiosity, they signed the non-disclosure agreement very happily.

In fact, this agreement does not have any legal effect, mainly because the description of the content is unclear, and it is impossible to go to court, but it is okay to pretend.

Please speak, Larry said.

Song Weiyang gestured on the white paper: Whether it is the United States or China, global websites are fixed for advertising, and the content of each web page is limited, which leads to limited advertising fees charged by the website. Moreover, this kind of Advertisements are becoming more and more hated by netizens and less effective. Is that so?

Yes. Sergey nodded, and he never clicked on web ads.

Then can we do this? Song Weiyang gestured, The keyword search results are displayed on the left, and the keyword search advertisement results are displayed on the right. On our page, there are no fixed advertisements, and the homepage is clean. But as long as netizens search If you enter a keyword, the normal search content will be displayed on the left, and the advertisements connected with the keyword will be displayed on the right. For example, if someone searches for 'computer', products such as Apple and imb will appear on the right advertisement column. In this way, you can receive all the advertisements at the same time Insertion orders for industries, all companies!

Both Larry and Sergey were stunned. This shit is like a hen laying eggs!

In traditional portal websites, there are only so many advertisements on one page, and if there are too many advertisements, users will be disgusted. But the method Song Weiyang proposed can accept unlimited advertisements and make money.

Song Weiyang continued: For the same keyword, we can receive advertisements from many companies. There are two ways of who ranks first, one is whoever has the most money to rank first, and the other is to use a calculation formula to perform a reasonable ranking.

Sergey said: Of course, it is a reasonable ranking. Whoever has the most money will get the top. Then how to identify liars and fake manufacturers? Even if we identify qualifications, there are too many advertisers, and we can't identify them.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: This kind of advertisement is self-service, and the advertiser can choose. For example, my products are mainly sold in California, so I only advertise in California. Only netizens with IP addresses in California search for keywords. It will appear. This will greatly reduce the advertising costs of manufacturers, and they will like it even more.”

Larry looked at Song Weiyang dumbfounded: I heard Mr. Ding talk about your deeds, and now I finally understand why you became a big businessman within a few years!

Song Weiyang said: How much is my business model worth? How many shares should I convert into?

I don't know, I can't estimate it. Larry was already discouraged.

Song Weiyang smiled and said: So, I will take a step back. I only want 55% of the shares, and, when Wall Street capital comes in in the future, if there is a disagreement, my share voting rights will unconditionally stand on your side .”

Really? Larry and Sergey asked simultaneously.

Really, Song Weiyang said, I also hate the capitalists on Wall Street. They have brought Yahoo into a dead end. I don't want our company to become the next Yahoo. We can write a private agreement on this.

Be sure to stand on the side of the founder, otherwise Google may be tossed to death by Wall Street.

Historically, Eric Schmidt, the CEO sent by Wall Street, made Google grow rapidly and made a lot of money, but he was at most Cook, and the two founders were Jobs. Regarding technology investments and acquisitions, most of them are argued by the two founders.

Then, happy cooperation! Larry stood up and shook hands.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Happy cooperation!
