I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 31

Michael Dell considered this for more than a month, and his patience was truly commendable! ! !

However, Henry and the others were not in a hurry. You can think about it as long as you want as long as you don’t develop your own server, Dell’s servers are very impressive … In its past life, Dell’s server brand share was ranked first in the world, and compared to IBM. It’s not easy for companies to compete with each other! Henry hopes that through binding interests, Dell’s large ships will be bound together, and Noah’s Ark will develop more smoothly!

In a previous life, Cisco also developed a server, and that was pretty good. Now, if the two companies join, it would be wonderful to have a strong background, and I’m afraid they will make the most losses for IBM!

During this time, Henry often went to Isearch to assist them in research and development. Under Henry’s very clear instructions, the web crawler program was quickly created according to the requirements, but the “crawling” speed was too slow, and it took a long time to crawl the webpage. Henry expresses his dissatisfaction! and gave a message to them to continue to modify it.

Even web crawlers can’t run smoothly, what happens later when developing search!

We must know that the real difficulty of search engines is to analyze and process hundreds of millions of information on the Internet, so much information that demands algorithm! When users search for words, you must find the most accurate of countless messy information, and the speed is even faster!

The algorithm doesn’t work, it’s sad, one is it takes a long time, and the other is that the information returned might not be accurate!

This is no big deal now, the amount of information in the future will be recorded in hundreds of billions, and the search technology is so impressive that it is reflected in the algorithm!

While Henry gave the Isearch group instructions, Dell finally could not help calling Henry!

“Henry, I’ve clearly considered it!”

“Oh, what do you think?” Henry asks nervously. He did not want to push Dell to the other server side.

“Henry, I can’t agree to your terms!”

What? ! disagree!

Henry touched his forehead and felt a headache, Will Dell be at odds with Noah’s Ark?

“Michael, don’t make hasty decisions, or you will think about it …” Henry persuaded.

“The development of Dell hardware diversification, the server is very necessary. However, if we give 30% shares, I would rather let Dell do research and development from the start!” Michael Dell said firmly.

Henry immediately fell silent, and shook his head quietly, Michael Dell handled the stock very seriously. It is very difficult for Dell to release 30% of shares!

Forget it, Noah’s Ark is not afraid of the challenges of other companies!

Noah’s Ark will step on IBM and Dell under his feet. ! !

Suddenly Henry felt he was in a war!

At this time, he no longer forced Dell to join Noah’s Ark camp. Anyone who sells an assembled computer can make a good server. Henry certainly won’t easily let it go. Noah’s Ark, the most professional server leader, will be better than Dell! ! !

Henry hangs up, and an emergency meeting is held at Noah’s Ark on the same day. At the meeting, Henry told Bob Gallaher, Geely and John Chambers about Dell’s refusal to exchange shares. !

“Dell has refused to exchange shares and decided to build its own server! Here, I don’t say much. I only have one request for Noah’s Ark! Always innovate and lead !!! I don’t want any other company that can surpass Noah’s Ark in server industry !!! ”

“Chairman, rest assured !! I, Bob, promise that as long as I am here I will make Noah’s Ark the best and if Noah’s Ark is left behind, Bob will be the first to be blamed and resign !!!” Bob Gallagher stood tall with a stern face.

Bob Gallagher is an excellent professional manager who manages Noah’s Ark very well. Henry did not want to lose such a good talent. So he waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to blame yourself and resign. As long as you work hard, I won’t blame you!”

“Yes !!!” Bob Gallagher nodded and a hint of warmth flooded his heart!

…

Soon, Dell is holding a press conference to announce that Dell will enter the server industry!

“Dell will establish a server department and energetically develop the company’s diversified hardware route! This time, we have prepared 50 million US dollars. We must make the server business bigger and stronger, and make it the world’s top server !!!” Michael Dell announced loudly at a press conference.

As soon as the news spread, Dell’s share price rose $ 1.7 that day.

Dell is not talking about pleasure, the action is huge! Within a week, Dell bought three server vendors, with incredible speed. Henry only knew the situation when he finally negotiated the acquisition. Obviously, Michael Dell has been planning for a long time, he has contacted three server vendors and conducted some secret negotiations!

After the negotiations are complete, Dell pretends to submit a formal acquisition. As a result, the two parties signed the agreement before the negotiations lasted several minutes.

Henry said nothing about Michael Dell’s poor approach. After all, Dell’s stock will be sold sooner or later, whatever he can do later won’t be useful!

After Henry returned to the company, Helen told him that AOL was preparing to go public. Henry asked carefully. It turns out that AOL burned a lot this year. In addition to creating a website, they also provide users with Internet access services, which are dial-up services. AOL is completely useless, at first they only wanted to provide users with Internet access services and then promote the AOL website. But I did not expect that with the acceleration of the National Science Foundation Network and increased network coverage, the number of users connected to the Internet has increased sharply, so that Internet access services are actually very “rich”! AOL does not lay its own network, but can lease other people’s network lines and a large number of local telephone lines to provide network access services for local users!

The AOL website has lost money, but dial-up services have made AOL wealthy. The financial report is very good. And with the increase in the volume of dial-up Internet services, AOL’s website traffic has also increased! With so many favorable conditions, and AOL has not yet been registered, Sequoia Capital has to scold it: You know how to spend money, and when will you get it back?

However, the good financial statements put AOL under tremendous financial pressure. Should I spend money when opening a website? Does renting network channels and a large number of telephone lines spend money? To enable companies to develop faster, financing is needed! And listing is the best way!

With the help of Sequoia Capital, AOL’s request to register on Nasdaq soon passed.

Steve Case also started roadshows in major cities in the United States.

Henry had to frown again after hearing the news.

This time, AOL took advantage of that gap and even went public, after listing, wouldn’t it be more difficult?
