Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 451: Google

In other words, Henry previously owned a 20% stake in SoftBank. [Doubreaking the sky

] [No pop-up window...] However, SoftBank diluted Henry's shares to 10.5% through financing, mergers and other methods.

Henry's initial investment in SoftBank was US$100 million. In other words, the market value of SoftBank was US$500 million. Today, SoftBank's market value has risen to $60 billion. 10.5% of the shares can be exchanged for more than 6 billion US dollars, and the return on investment is still very high.

At present, the main profit of Softbank comes from Japan Telecom, which can bring more than one billion U.S. dollars in profits to Softbank every year. With this money, SoftBank began to invest or acquire other companies frequently. Especially in the winter of the Internet, SoftBank has been extremely active.

Time Warner acquired aol not long ago, and SoftBank spent US$2 billion to acquire 80% of Global Online (Japan). And Time Warner also hopes to reduce the responsibility rate through this transaction, and the two sides hit it off. Now, Softbank has invested in Taobao, which has gradually become Henry's confidant.

Sun Zhengyi likes to rely on intuition when making investments, but his intuition is often surprisingly accurate.

Invest if you don't agree.

Buy if you don't agree.

Anyway, as long as he feels ok, then there is no problem.

Facing such a person who doesn't follow the routine, it is really a headache.

Henry felt that he should take the initiative and not leave the opportunity to SoftBank again.

...

At the end of 1998, in Mountain View, California, USA, the famous Google company in the past life quietly emerged.

Susan Wojcicki, the eldest sister of the three Wharth sisters in Silicon Valley, rented the garage to Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to start a business here. In fact, not long after, Susan joined Google and became one of its early employees.

However, I have to say that Sergey Brin and Larry Page started their business in Susan's home. This... two men and a woman, love each other for a long time, Susan and Sergey Brin soon happened. A love in the garage period. Unfortunately, the two separated afterwards, and Sergey Brin and Susan's sister Anne Wojcicki began dating and got married. However, later, Sergey's unspoken company female employees or could not stand the temptation, became the mixed-race beauty manager of the Google Glasses project known as the "Goddess of Google". [Xuanjiezhimen] And this mixed-race beauty is said to have a boyfriend and also works at Google. Put yourself in the situation and think about it, the boss and his girlfriend are engaged under their noses. How can this green hat be "angry"!

Is it tolerable or unbearable? The green-hat man eventually moved to Xiaomi and served as vice president.

As a senior network engineer in his previous life, Henry was also a little heard of the gossip news of Google. The truth is that it is groundless, and it may not be without cause. Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki then separated and divorced two years later. This is obviously a living example of Xiaosan's involvement, leading to the disintegration of the family.

According to Henry, Annie Wojcicki is a biotechnologist. The rapid genetic testing company she founded is well-known in the United States.

23 refers to the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body, which refers to its own chromosomes. The company can detect the user's genes with one sip, and analyze the probability that the user may suffer from a certain disease. At the same time, you can check your ancestry and the eighteenth generations of your ancestors. Many people have found relatives who have been separated for many years through the company.

Don't know if it is a coincidence or fate? Lucy Southworth, the wife of another Google founder, Larry Page, is actually a PhD student in biomedical informatics at Stanford University, a biotechnology horizontal lever, and one of the founders.

Henry couldn't help but summed up an experience for those women who want to join the rich: "You can only marry a world-class rich if you learn biotechnology!"

Recently, Henry has been secretly paying attention to the development of Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin have developed a new online search technology. Although it is not as good as isearch, it is innovative and shining in many places. point.

"It's time to talk to them..." Henry murmured while lying on the sofa looking at the ceiling.

...

On March 2, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were staring at the monitor in Susan's garage. Suddenly, the sound of parking came from outside.

"Sergey, Susan's house seems to be a guest?"

"Well, the car stopped at the door. [The door of the mysterious world]" Sergey said as he walked over and opened the garage door.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin raised their eyes and saw a young man wearing sunglasses, accompanied by four men in black, walking towards the garage, to be precise, towards both of them. Come...

"You are?" Sergey Brin stepped forward and asked loudly.

Henry chuckled and took off his sunglasses.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page were shocked when they saw each other's appearance, "You, are you Henry Williams?!!!"

"Yes, it's me!" Henry asked with a smile, "Hehe, don't you plan to invite me in and sit for a while?"

"Of course, please come in!" The two nodded quickly, and reached out to make a please gesture.

Henry then walked into the garage.

The garage is not big, twenty to thirty square meters, surrounded by whitewashed walls, with a few tables in the middle to make a long table, on which are placed six desktop computers and some other electronic equipment. Lines, data lines, power lines and other lines are dazzling. Henry walked up to a large two-meter-high machine at this time. The machine had no shell, and a fan kept blowing at it to cool it down. Henry observed for a while and asked, "This machine is your server?"

"Yes!" Larry Page nodded embarrassedly, "Because we don't have money to buy a server, we bought some second-hand electronic parts, and then designed and assembled a server by ourselves. Oh, although it looks a little ugly , But the performance is not bad! Mr. Williams, please sit down!"

"Thank you." Henry sat down, looked at the two people who were a little stiff, smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous, two. Actually, I heard that the Google search you developed is operated at Stanford University, and the response has been good. So. , I came here specially to meet two geniuses."

At this time, a woman's voice came from outside.

"Who are you?! Why did you break into my house?"

"Oh, it's Susan's voice!" Sergey introduced to Henry, "Mr. Williams, she is the owner of this house!"

"I know, invite her in."

Sergey nodded, walked outside immediately and called "Susan".

"Sergey, who are they?" Susan wondered.

"Susan, Henry Williams is here!!!" Sergey leaned in her ear and said in a low voice and excitement.

"The richest man in the world, Henry Williams?!!!"

"Yes, it's him!" Sergey said, taking her hand, "Let's go, Mr. Williams will call you over."

Susan Wojcicki nodded excitedly.

After walking into the garage, Susan saw Henry and Larry Page talking and laughing, and they were very happy.

"Mr. Williams, this is Susan Wojcicki!" Sergey introduced.

"Mr. Williams, hello, nice to meet you!" Susan said excitedly.

"Hello, beautiful Ms. Susan."

Susan Wojcicki is thirty years old, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin are more than a year older than Henry, about twenty-five and six years old.

Henry said straightforwardly: "The purpose of my visit this time is very simple. It is to acquire Google. At the same time, I am inviting two people and... Ms. Susan Wojcicki to join ir/>

Larry Page asked: "After isearch acquires Google, how will it deal with it?"

Henry heard this and smiled: "isearch is not just a search company, it will expand its business and develop in the direction of diversified technology. Therefore, I am going to reorganize the company and combine isearch's search salesmen and Separated from other businesses. Google’s name will remain and become the parent company of isearch. At the same time, a googlex laboratory will be set up within the company to conduct research on cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, based on search technology..."

icq's research on artificial intelligence has a unique advantage. As an internet search giant, isearch deals with more data, so the research on artificial intelligence should be stronger. In Henry's view, the status of artificial intelligence in the future will surely replace icq and isearch. At that time, Henry will focus on artificial intelligence, supplemented by icq social and isearch search, to form a super large artificial intelligence enterprise!

As for now, let icq and isearch compete with each other in artificial intelligence. The so-called high altitude is extremely cold, and the siri artificial intelligence developed by icq is almost invincible. It should need external stimulation to make it feel urgency, and then it can develop faster.

"After the company is reorganized, in addition to giving you a high salary, I will also allocate shares to you. Although the shares may not be many, the higher the market value of the company, the more valuable it will be. In addition, if a subsidiary is listed, you will also have Part of the subscription rights. How about? Are you interested in joining my company?"

&nble is too small, compared with isearch, it is completely unknown. However, they couldn't believe that Henry wanted to googrch's parent company. For a while, the surging excitement in Larry and Sergey's hearts is hard to describe in words!

Moreover, faced with the attractive conditions offered by Henry, the three looked at each other and could not refuse.

Within a minute, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Susan Wojcicki nodded, expressing their willingness to accept Henry's invitation.

Henry was overjoyed. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are not only innovative technical geniuses, but also very visionary and extremely outstanding entrepreneurs! With a little training, you can be on your own! Although Susan Wojcicki is not as good as the first two, she has a master's degree in business administration from Harvard University and a master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is very capable. In her previous life, she served as the senior vice president of Google's most important and profitable advertising business unit, and she was ranked 16th in the "Top 100 Women in the World".

Henry promised to give Larry Page and Sergey Brin an annual salary of US$2 million, Susan Wojcicki's annual salary of US$1.5 million, and spent US$5 million to acquire Google Inc.~lightnovelpub.net ~ But this US$5 million is converted into shares of Google after the reorganization.

US$2 million is a very high salary in the United States. Larry Page and Sergey are very satisfied with it. After all, they are not the two giants of Google in the past. Of course, the US$2 million is definitely too much less than the CEOs of many big companies. For the CEO of some 1 racing company, he received an annual salary of US$** million, which is the world's number one.

The main reason is that Larry Page and Sergey Brin are too young, and in the isearch company, the qualifications are still relatively small, if Henry pays tens of millions of dollars an annual salary to them, it will be colder. The hearts of employees. However, Henry believes that with their abilities, they will stand out sooner or later. When the time comes, I will promote them, and just re-process the capital!
