The faculty dormitory of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.

Yang Zhiyuan, a young Internet addict, is banging on the keyboard and chatting with people on the Charming bbs forum.

The future founder of Yahoo, "the first person of the century network", and an independent non-executive director of Alibaba, was completely unaware at this moment that his portal website was cut off.

If Kang Jianfei hadn't appeared, Yang Zhiyuan would have founded Yahoo with his friend David Filo in May next year, creating a mythical miracle in the history of the Internet.

In fact, in March of a few years, Yang Zhiyuan and his friend David were collecting various URLs and editing them into software. There is no search engine nowadays, it is very inconvenient for everyone to search for information online, and it is very difficult to even find a website. Yang Zhiyuan's website software has received great acclaim as soon as it was released.

On this basis, Yang Zhiyuan and David founded Yahoo.

Because the two were poor teaching assistants and researchers, Yahoo initially set up a workstation at Stanford University. Due to the large number of visits to the website, the school was very troubled and complained that this thing affected the normal operation of the school computer.

Yang Zhiyuan and David had to go to Silicon Valley to seek investors, and only after receiving venture capital funds did they officially start their own company.

"Jerry!" David Ferro pushed in. He was not only Yang Zhiyuan's friend, but also Yang Zhiyuan's teaching assistant when he was a graduate student.

Yang Zhiyuan took his hands off the keyboard, turned around and said with a smile, "Have you figured it out?"

David Filo nodded and said, "Yes, I decided to join eitc (Eastern Internet Technology Company)."

"Then let's apply now!" Yang Zhiyuan got up and said.

"So soon?" David asked in surprise.

"Now many people want to join this company, we have to hurry." Yang Zhiyuan said.

Since the appearance of Oriental Charm.com, Yang Zhiyuan and David have become loyal users of this website. They found that many of their ideas were put into practice by this website, and they felt like they had found a friend of God.

Dongfang Network Technology Company is not far from Stanford University. The two went out to take a bus and soon came to the company building.

"Applicant? Go in and line up." The lady at the front desk pointed inside with a smile.

Different from the deserted company when the company was first established, several applicants come to the company every day, but they are no longer short of people.

Yang Zhiyuan and David had to wait in line for about 20 minutes before it was their turn.

The person in charge of the interview was Chen Shouying, who asked in surprise, "You two are interviewing together?"

"Yes." The two nodded at the same time.

Chen Shouying took over their resumes, and after reading the contents, she was a little interested.

Born in Taipei, Yang Zhiyuan completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at Stanford University in four years, and is now staying at the school to engage in research work. David is a little older. He works as a teaching assistant at Stanford University and is preparing to apply for a doctorate at the school.

What satisfies Chen Shouying most is that the two of them still have their own work, a small software that collects hundreds of URLs.

"Do you have anything else you can do?" Chen Shouying asked.

"Of course," Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile, "David and I also made a software, which is an upgraded version of the website collector. It is similar to a telephone directory, and the content includes 14 categories such as news, entertainment, science, and education, and then It can also be subdivided further down. Users only need to enter keywords to query the corresponding website information.”

Chen Shouying was surprised. Isn't this the search engine that the chairman asked them to develop? Someone has already made it!

Of course, Chen Shouying needs to investigate further.

Because in the Internet world at this time, some people are already engaged in automatic search software, but unfortunately they are not very convenient and accurate to use.

The search engine of Yang Zhiyuan and the two is purely handmade, and all the entries are collected by them by category. This has nothing to do with technology. It must be done by manpower and time, and it is impossible to complete in a short period of time.

When Yang Zhiyuan and David took out their search software and handed it over to Chen Shouying for on-site testing, the accuracy immediately shocked Chen Shouying, and immediately said: "The software of the two is very useful, and the company decided to buy it. You two can also join the company's search engine department, responsible for the in-depth research and development and maintenance of search engines."

Yang Zhiyuan and David looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

According to what Chen Shouying said just now, they were definitely not small employees after they entered the company, and they became the head of the department from the very beginning.

In fact, neither Yang Zhiyuan nor David realized how valuable search engines are. The company bought their software for only $300,000, and the two were still secretly happy.

In mid-November, the search engine function of Oriental Charm.com was launched, which once again triggered the frenzy of Internet users.

The American science and technology magazine "Computer World" commented: "eitc (Eastern Internet Technology Company) is a revolutionary company, it created the Internet business era ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ allows the Internet to enter thousands of households. Ordinary netizens who do not understand computer technology at all can surf the Internet easily and freely, and use e-mail to communicate with the world..."

According to statistics from the descendants of Oriental Charm.com, in December alone, 4.8 million people entered the Internet through Oriental Charm.com—the only portal site in the world at this time.

Such terrifying traffic has naturally attracted the attention of major venture capital firms.

After New Year's Day, people come to the door almost every week, hoping to invest in Dongfang Network Technology Company, and the funds are tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

As the general manager of the company, Jiang Qinghua had only one reaction: Haha.

At the same time, the success of Dongfang Network Technology Co., Ltd. has also led to a wave of frenetic Internet entrepreneurship. Various types of business websites around the world have sprung up, trying to get a piece of the delicious cake in this era of Internet pioneering.

Microsoft's side was also stimulated, and quickly started the research and development plan of the ie browser, ready to win the fat in the browser market.

Jiang Qinghua, the general manager of the company, is very annoying now. He has interviews with the media every day. He has even become the cover character of "Computer World". worship.

However, few people know that Jiang Qinghua is just a computer novice, he can't even type Chinese.

To this end, Jiang Qinghua frantically studied computer technology while managing the company. He does not seek to become a computer elite, but only wants to master basic knowledge so as not to be laughed at in the future.

Dongfang Network Technology Co., Ltd. is like a bolt of lightning, streaking across the dark night sky, illuminating the land in the wild age of the Internet.

Well, to put it hilariously, in fact, the company has been losing money.
