I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 29
After experiencing a little problem because the man who out of nowhere appeared arrogantly proud of himself, Henry immediately called his bodyguard in disguise as his colleague to give a gift to Jim. (Gift beating).
Farewell to Nicole then leave Nicole’s residence.

Jinglee Bell
“Helen, what’s up?” Henry took the cellphone handed by Sean and spoke.
“Chairman, Dell CEO Michael just called, and he said that Dell will be listed on the Nasdaq on August 1!”
“Okay, thanks for the info!”
Henry hung up, turned his head, and said to Sean Houston, “Drive!”
“Mr. Williams, where are you going?”
“go back home!”
After half an hour, Henry returned home.
When the night grew dark, Henry showered and lay in bed with his pajamas. At eleven or twelve in the middle of the night, Henry still could not sleep. He got up, turned on the computer, browsed the website happily and suddenly found a post on the Stanford University bbs forum, the title was “FTP file search software, Isearch”.
After Henry opened it, he saw it and was surprised!
This FTP file search software, Isearch is a search software developed by several Stanford University students. This is a list of FTP file names that can be searched. The user must enter the exact file name to search for, and then Isearch will notify the user with the available FTP address. Download this file. Henry was surprised because even though Isearch was not yet a search engine, from the standpoint of its working principle, it was the beginning of all search engines!
Global online does not yet have a search function, and designs similar to search boxes have not yet been developed! Global Online now only closes a few websites with relatively large traffic!
Henry read this post very carefully, and quietly wrote down the contact information of the person who posted it.
Henry goes to Stanford University the next day. For Stanford University, Henry was very familiar with him, he didn’t need to ask for directions, he looked directly for the address, and found the person he was looking for after thirty minutes.
Two students who developed Isearch software were both junior students from the Computer Science Department, but both were not in the same class, but they were gathered because of a computer project at school.
One is Bill Joyce and the other is Luke Stowe. Bill Joyce was a little shy and didn’t say much, but Luke Stowe was very talkative. Henry learned through their conversation that Bill Joyce was a mathematical genius, very sensitive to numbers and proficient in algorithms, and Luke Stowe was a computer genius with a very high level of programming. For such talents, Henry immediately told them his intentions.
“Bill, Luke, I’m going to start an internet search company, and want to ask both of you to help me!”
Bill and Luke don’t know Henry’s identity. Through conversation, they only know that he is very knowledgeable in the computer field and very interested in searching. It’s just that Henry is too young to start a company at all, and it’s hard to see the company’s expectations about profits only from the search function. Given these two problems, Bill and Luke therefore do not immediately agree.
“Henry, I advise you not to start the company in a hurry, I’m afraid it will go bankrupt soon!” Luke shook his head and said.
“It’s okay, I’m not afraid of going bankrupt. What’s more, the company might not go bankrupt, but maybe in the future it will become a super company that attracts the attention of the world!” Henry smiles.
Bill and Luke looked at each other and shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about the future of the search company. No wonder the geniuses of mathematics and computers have doubts, why Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin can become legends! Talent is important, interest is important, but strong vision and determination are also very important!
Henry smiled, took out two business cards and handed them to them. At this time, what Henry needed to give them the most was confidence!
Only simple words printed on business cards are simply printed by the words “Nicholas Group, Cisco, Noah’s Ark, Chairman Henry Williams”! There are also several chairmen names, Henry does not print on business cards, such as the domain name management company, Pixar Animation Studio, West Germany Publishing House.
Since he became a shareholder of the West German Publisher House, Henry has not received any printing fees from the West German Publisher House. Instead, he injected capital into the West German Publisher House. Now Henry’s share ownership ratio in the West Germany Publishing House has reached 65%. Really holding! In the election of a new round of council, Henry was chosen as chairman with absolute advantage! The position of CEO, is still held by Edward.
The series “Harry Potter” has ended. Penguin Publishing has paid Henry up to 30 million dollars in royalties, and “Jurassic Park” also brought Henry a profit of 8 million dollars!
Now Henry has a total deposit of 60 million US dollars!
Sixty million dollars was 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. Any of those listed in the crew’s name are already well known, and Henry Williams is actually the chairman of these three companies. fantastic! ! ! !
But before they could recover from the shock, Henry said: “The name of the new company is Isearch. I will invest 5 million US dollars as initial capital. If you join, I will give you 5% of each share as a gift, if the company well developed, stock options will be given in the future. Are you willing to participate, the choice is yours. ”
Although Henry promised to give them a 5% stake, the company would further dilute its shares if the company collected funds later. Henry’s shares will increase again … But if they can compare with Google founder, Henry doesn’t mind giving them more shares.
Bill Joyce and Luke had no doubts, and immediately agreed. One is that the name Henry is too famous and important, and the other reason is that the conditions that Henry offers them are also very good. They can’t think of a reason to reject it.
“We are willing to join !!!” said Bill Joyce and Luke.
Henry smiles it will be embarrassing if he can’t make the two students join him.
Shortly thereafter, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe, two Stanford computer science figures, dropped out of school and started a business. They founded a company called Isearch in Silicon Valley. The initial scale of the company was small, with only ten people, all of whom were Stanford University students. At the start of the new company, Henry said: “Our only goal is to lead the Internet search industry !!!”
“Everyone knows that Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe made software called Isearch before. The main function of this software is to take FTP file names and download them. But what we want to do is search engines, these search engines can automatically collect information from the Internet, and after sorting it out, it will provide users with a system for querying.Therefore, the main difficulty of this search engine is how to collect information from the Internet.The second is how to organize information to get high quality information.Our search engine must be accurate , fast, and give users the information they need most! ”
Henry took a pen and drew on the board, and said: “The internet is like a spider’s web. We want to develop a program that can crawl freely in a spider’s web. Follow the link addresses of web pages on the Web and place them one by one. , and this web page is captured in the system for analysis and entered into a database, the name of this program is called a web crawler! Therefore, our first task now is to develop a web crawler !!
