MTL - Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire-v5 Chapter 894 Yahoo

…

After finishing the European affairs, Xu Cun did not return to Hong Kong or Beijing, but flew to the Neverland in California, USA with the girls.

Xu Cun brought the girls to Neverland, not for vacation, but for two people. Don't get me wrong, this time Xu Cun did not bring two women, but two men—Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro.

That's right, Xu Cun came to the United States this time for the famous Internet portal in the United States and one of the creators of the Internet miracle at the end of the 20th century. Its services include search engines, emails, news, etc., and its business covers 24 countries and region, providing diversified network services for more than 500 million unique users around the world, and is also a global Internet communication, commerce and media company from Yahoo.

Born in Taipei, Yang Zhiyuan entered Stanford University with honors four years ago, whose electrical engineering department is part of Silicon Valley China.

Yang Zhiyuan took electrical engineering as an elective. It only took him four years to obtain a bachelor's and master's degree and meet David Filo.

This year, Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo started to create Yahoo's Internet Navigation Guide and are preparing to register Yahoo as a company.

In fact, Yahoo's Niu B does not need to be said at all, not to mention its huge business in 24 countries and regions, it is only 39% of Alibaba's value of more than 250 billion US dollars at its peak. Equity, even Xu Cun would never dare to underestimate it, and would spare no effort to get it!

...

Neverland is very close to Silicon Valley. It only takes more than 20 minutes by car for Xu Cun to reach Silicon Valley.

At present, the most potential company in Silicon Valley is not actually Yahoo, which has not been officially registered, but a company named after a browser "Mosaic" published by the National Supercomputer Application Center of the University of Illinois in Illinois last year. That is, Netscape Communications Corporation - Mosaic was developed soon, Mark Anderson of the Mosaic Development Center and Jim Clark, the founder of Graphics, founded Mosaic in Silicon Valley.

After Mosaic was established, the development team had to completely rewrite the browser code because NCSA of the University of Illinois owned the trademark copyright of Mosaic, and the University of Illinois had transferred the technology to Telescope Entertainment.

To avoid trademark ownership issues with NCSA, Mosaic changed its name to Netscape Communications.

And Netscape is also one of the goals of Xu Cun's trip. Of course, it is only a secondary goal or an incidental goal.

Netscape was very good in the last life, and even occupied 90% of the browser market share, and its market value was soaring - at that time, it even easily stepped on Yahoo.

pity--

Later, Microsoft entered the browser market and released the IE browser!

It's not that Microsoft's IE browser is so good. The key is that once Microsoft enters the browser market, it will easily dominate the browser market by virtue of the bundled sales of the windows system.

In the last life, when Microsoft entered this field, Netscape's browser quickly failed miserably. After two thousand years, Netscape's market share dropped sharply from 90% to less than 1%.

Microsoft's windows system is a big killer. It comes with IE browser when it is installed, and other browsers can't compete with it at all. Only when the market is prosperous in the future can rely on powerful customization functions to compete with IE browser. To grab the market, and the Netscape browser obviously cannot survive until that time, so Xu Cun's investment in Netscape is actually just a short-term investment to earn billions of pocket money.

Although Netscape is currently the most promising company in Silicon Valley, MosaicNetscape 0.9, Netscape's most popular browser, has not yet been developed. It is easy to make Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who are currently short of research and development funds, move the idea of ​​selling 45% of Netscape's shares to Xu Cun.

In this case, if Xu Cun's acquisition team still can't handle Netscape, then Xu Cun's annual salary of hundreds of millions will be wasted.

Xu Cun did not entangle with Mark Anderson and Jim Clark too much, so he handed over Netscape to Yuan Tianfan and the others.

After that, Xu Cun took people to the "R&D room" of Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo, which is the place where Yahoo was born in the future.

...

Seeing Xu Cun's appearance, not only Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese, but also an American, David Ferro, was extremely shocked!

This shows how famous Xu Cun is.

Looking around at this chaotic hut, which was less than ten square meters, Xu Cun first sighed, "Sure enough, starting a business is not difficult!", and then said to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro: " I heard you made a little software that collects hundreds of URLs?"

Hearing that Xu Cun came for their portal, Yang Zhiyuan, who was only in his twenties, and David Ferro, who was also in his twenties, were all excited, and David Ferro couldn't wait to say: "You The one I mentioned is the version that has not been upgraded. Yang 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, and users only need to enter keywords to query the corresponding website information!”

After listening to David Filo's words, Xu Cun immediately thought of the Internet navigation service of the previous life.

Xu Cun said, "Can you show me your research results?"

Upon hearing Xu Cun's words, Yang Zhiyuan immediately said, "Mr. Xu, please come here!"

Xu Cun was not polite to Yang Zhiyuan, and sat in front of Yang Zhiyuan's dilapidated computer directly under his guidance.

Honestly -

Xu Cun is really not used to the DOS system, even though Xu Cun has been playing games with the DOS system for several years.

It is precisely because of this that ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Xu Cun misses and looks forward to the Windows system developed by Microsoft.

but--

Although he is not used to the DOS system, Xu Cun has used it to play games for several years, so Xu Cun can also use it to switch the screen skillfully, and quickly find the Yahoo web page navigation that has not yet been perfected.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro glanced at each other, and they were sure that Xu Cun didn't understand the Internet at all.

Thinking about it, Xu Cun is also one of the major shareholders of the Internet such as Microsoft and Intel. How could he not understand the Internet?

Soon, Xu Cun was sure that Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro had created a prototype of an Internet portal, although this prototype was still extremely immature.

Gently pushing the keyboard aside, Xu Cun looked at Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo and said, "I like your research results, let's start a company together, and I'll give you ten percent of the shares. "
