I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 32

Seeing that AOL was going to go public, Henry knew that he had to move faster. The Nicholas website is now spending more and more money, and the money raised through Netscape is almost gone. Except for the domain name management company and the West German Publisher House, which can distribute dividends to Henry every year, other industries by the name Henry spend money!

Henry clenches his fists, and he feels increasingly challenged, he really likes euphoria like this.

And now, Cisco, the tiger, has shown its fangs and has acquired 13 small and medium network equipment manufacturers in the United States at a cost of US $ 740 million! Here, Citibank and Morgan Bank together lend Cisco one billion dollars. Cisco works nonstop and will continue to develop. Every technology company that helps grow Cisco must be bought, all companies that threaten Cisco must be obtained!

Cisco’s actions were so brutal that they shocked everyone, even Sequoia Capital was surprised. Compared to Cisco, 3com speed is called slow although it is still growing.

Henry once said that 3com will finish sooner or later, just waiting for time to be acquired by Cisco!

Capital world plays with capital too!

Conformity development is too slow. The fastest way to accumulate technology and scale is to acquire a company!

Citibank and Morgan Bank helped Cisco not without reason, First, Cisco has developed very well and has great potential, secondly, Cisco will be registered at the end of the year, and the registered contractors are the two of them! The more successful the Cisco IPO, the more Citibank and Morgan Bank will make a profit. Cisco will fight with this series of acquisitions, and most of the people on Wall Street or investors! On the day of listing the stock prices they can’t guess it and don’t know how high the stock will be!

What’s more, Cisco doesn’t randomly acquire companies, but is highly targeted, Cisco acquires companies related to its technology, which can promote Cisco’s development. Therefore, this kind of acquisition is very strategic and highly commendable!

Initially, Sequoia Capital would be involved in things like Cisco registration, but Henry was already very uncomfortable with Sequoia Capital. Not only was Henry uncomfortable with Sequoia Capital, but also the entire Cisco management team!

Blame Sequoia Capital for supporting 3com, which has damaged Cisco’s interest in him!

As a controlling shareholder of Cisco, Henry decided to expel Sequoia Capital and this was also strongly supported by John Chambers and others!

Sequoia Capital’s current position at Cisco is very embarrassing. Even though having a seat on the board of directors, it’s useless. And in company management, no one takes it seriously!

Ford Brook does not often come to Cisco, but when he comes to Cisco, he is always angry who looks funny to Henry.

However, Cisco’s current negative equity ratio is very high, reaching -37%. But this negative equity point is meaningless. Many large companies have developed loans.

Cisco doesn’t need to worry about Henry not injecting capital anymore, Cisco is already independent and can make other companies shy of Cisco!

But Pixar Animation Studios, Noah’s Ark Company, Isearch Company, and Nicholas Group Company spent more money than the other four companies.

The new Pixar Animation short computer animation “Red’s Dream” won the San Francisco International Film Festival Composite Computer Award and the Austrian Electronica Film Festival, the Golden Nika Award. Although this award is worse than any other award for Henry this is a very good achievement.

The RenderMan program independently developed by Pixar will soon be completed. RenderMan is a computer image rendering system that is widely used in the production of high-end moving images. Therefore, RenderMan is also an indispensable technology in advanced fields such as animated films and film and television special effects!

This special effect technology is very important for Pixar! Henry expressed great concern about this issue, and even deliberately founded a special effects company similar to Industrial Light & Magic! However, the RenderMan program has not been completed and must wait until it is finished.

After that, Henry often lived in Isearch, after the web crawler was upgraded, it was indeed stronger and his patents were also registered. The next step is to analyze and process this web page information. This time, Henry put forward the concept of the level of web pages. Whether a website on the Internet is good or bad, the quality of web pages returned to users is very important!

Henry stood in the crowd and said lightly, “So, we need to design ranking algorithms to evaluate the importance of these sites, and then provide the best quality information to users!”

“My assumption is this. Since every web page contains links to other websites, can this mean that the web page has chosen this linked website? So, the more votes the linked website has, the higher the ranking! But we also know that there are a lot of spam websites on the Internet. Therefore, for a very good website with high traffic, can we set the initial ranking to be very high, and then be able to cast more votes than a regular website? ”

After Henry finished speaking, he seemed very calm. Google’s PageRank (page rank) is so well-known that it almost makes Google glory. This is not plagiarism because Larry hasn’t even raised the idea of PageRank in this life.

After listening to Henry’s words, everyone immediately admired him. Even if Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe claim to be geniuses, they are willing to lose to Henry!

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

“PageRank, page rank !!!” said Henry nonchalantly. 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 CEO of Isearch? Obviously, Henry’s high hopes for Isearch are so great!

When Henry enjoyed the admiration of the people, he said again: “Users generally search for titles and keywords. Therefore, based on a mixture of titles and keywords, you have to adjust the results through PageRank to rank higher. Web pages get first in search results in accordance with the ranking order of the site, thereby increasing the relevance and quality of search results !!! ”

“Ceo, we understand !!!” everyone said together!

Next, Henry arranged the task. All of these employees are top students from Stanford University, with good standards. Coupled with the presence of two geniuses, Bill Joyce and Luke Stowe, the project must run smoothly. It’s not hard to write code, but the hard part is thinking and design. It’s not hard to make a program, but it’s difficult to make a program with a very good algorithm, very fast response, and accurate processing!

Now the Internet is far worse than in the future, the amount of information that needs to be processed is very small, and does not have to be comparable to Google, just to meet current needs!

Busy until October, the Isearch search engine is finally finished. Through testing, the search experience is still good, and very accurate results can be returned within two seconds! Products can be launched on the market, but Henry still asks them to continue to improve them, especially algorithms. There are less than 20,000 web sites and less than one million Internet users. The amount of information is very small. It takes 2 seconds for Isearch to return results. One can imagine how much better this algorithm is!

Now that the Isearch search engine is sufficient, all companies with the name Henry will use this product, and a search system created specifically for the Nicholas website, the Netscape browser, Global Online, IMDB, the official Cisco website, and the official website of Noah’s Ark!

On November 1, today is destined to create a sensation in the United States!

All Henry’s company websites have a search box, enter the content to be searched, click “Isearch”, and immediately bring up the information that the user needs!

This function is so practical and powerful that global online traffic surges, and servers are almost overwhelmed! Other websites also increased their traffic, and because of the search box installed in the Netscape browser, the stock price went crazy that day, and nothing could stop it! Climb to the market value of 6 billion in one breath! ! ! !
