333 [Achieving Cooperation]

Larry eats hot pot more finely, with only mutton, beef and vegetables.

There are no taboos for Sergey. This guy is so delicious that he tastes crispy and is especially suitable for drinking.

"Song, is this also part of the sheep?" Sergei asked, chewing his tripe.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "The stomach of the cow."

Larry changed his face instantly. He remembered that he had tasted it, and his expression was extremely complicated at this time.

"The stomach of a cow?" Sergei was so scared that he quickly swallowed the tripe in his mouth and said, "I'm mai Ka, it sounds really disgusting."

"But it tastes good." Ding Ming said.

"It's really good." Sergey couldn't help but pick up another piece, and the wine was delicious.

Song Weiyang said: "It's a pity that this is Beijing-style hot pot, without duck intestines, goose intestines, pig blood, and pig brains, otherwise you would definitely like it more."

This sentence is very intuitive in English, such as duck's intestines, goose's intestines, pig's blood, pig's brain... Larry was already shocked, his three views were broken, and his stomach was overwhelmed and he wanted to vomit.

But Sergei seemed to have been opened to the new world and was eager to try: "Can those things really be eaten?"

"Let you try next time." Song Weiyang said.

Sergei said: "I'm looking forward to it."

"Ahem," Ali kicked his friend under the table and said, "Mr. Song, let's talk about something else. What do you think of the Internet?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "The core of the Internet is: equality, freedom, interaction, and sharing."

Ali said: "Equality, freedom and sharing are easy to understand, what is interaction?"

Song Weiyang said: "In fact, the current Internet model is not yet mature. It is just an online copy of traditional information transmission methods. We usually watch TV, newspapers, magazines, movies, and what the producers ask us to watch, we can only watch. The same is true for the Internet. What the website allows netizens to watch, netizens can only watch, and there is no room for choice."

Ali sat upright: "Please keep talking."

"I learned from Ding Ming that those large portal websites, in order to retain their users, actually resist excellent search engines," said Song Weiyang. "This is not the case. The Internet is an industry that encourages innovation, not an industry that cracks down on innovation. Nowadays, large websites are suppressing the development of the Internet and treating the website as a traditional electronic media platform. The Internet, netizens and netizens can interact in the Internet, and netizens can also participate in the construction of website content. Everyone is the content recipient and the content creator."

Sergei was already a little dizzy and hiccupped, "Do you mean the form of personal web page?"

The term "blog" appeared a few months ago, and the idea of ​​blogging has been born for several years. But they are all non-mainstream, and the real mainstream is a portal website, and there is not even an encyclopedia website at this time.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Any website should have an interactive experience. Sohu.com, which I invest in China, will launch a comment function this month. Netizens browse an article or a news, can reply below the content, express their opinions on the article, and netizens can also comment on other netizens' replies."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ," Sergei said in shock, "that would be a great Internet initiative! Song, if your website is open in the United States, it will definitely grow rapidly with this comment function."

Song Weiyang said mysteriously: "I still have many ideas, but they are commercial secrets, and you will know them later."

Larry said: "Mr. Song, I admit that you have unique insights into the Internet, not those Wall Street capitalists who only know how to invest and make money, so we are willing to accept your investment."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "I spent $500,000 to buy out the global Chinese website authorization for your search technology. In the future, no search engine containing the pagerank algorithm shall be used on any Chinese website without my consent. You can use this $500,000 and then use your technology and management to invest. I invested $3 million and we jointly founded a search engine company."

"You can cooperate, but you can't interfere in managing and operating operations," Sergei said.

Song Weiyang said: "I generally do not interfere in daily management, but I reserve the right to veto the company's major strategies."

Larry said: "This is not possible. We have our pursuits and cannot change the future development direction of the company because of capital intervention."

To put it so nicely, you will eventually have to compromise in the face of money.

At the beginning, Google refused to sell advertisements. After receiving the first US financing of 25 million, there was a row of advertisements on the right side of Google's search page. By the way, two founders named Eric Schmidt were almost completely seized.

If Wall Street Capital had Eric Schmidt airborne Google, Google would not have thought of becoming bigger just by relying on these two technology homes in front of them, and they would not even find their own business operation model.

Song Weiyang asked with a smile: "Do you know Kingsoft Company?"

Larry and Sergey shook their heads.

Song Weiyang said: "China's Kingsoft Company was also founded by a group of technicians. They were about to go bankrupt in the most difficult time. I continued to invest for half a year and did not dilute their shares, so I got out of the dilemma. The wps software they developed has completely defeated Word in China, and its market share has exceeded 90%. I have never interfered in their management. I know that technical matters should be handed over to technicians. I respect their development strategies and only express opinions at occasional critical moments. I am the same for you. If you don't believe it, you can go and inquire."

"WPS? We met in an Internet cafe today." Sergei said.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Who else is willing to invest in your search engine besides me?"

Larry bit his lip and asked, "If we invested in $500,000 and technology management, and you invested $3 million, how should the equity be distributed?"

Song Weiyang said: "I want 60% of the shares."

"No, too much." Larry shook his head.

"What are you going to divide it?" Song Weiyang asked.

"You can invest only $2 million and get 40% of the shares. We can look for other people, but the technology is unique, and our search engine is the best technology in the world."

It is indeed the best in the world, and it is better than Li Yanhong's skills than Li Yanhong.

It was not until 2002 that Li Yanhong initiated Baidu's "Lightning Plan" and spent nine months doing research and development that he finally caught up with Google in search technology.

Song Weiyang did not object to the share allocation, but asked: "How are you going to operate in business?"

Larry said: "We strive to cooperate with large portals such as Yahoo. I believe that with our technology, within three years, all portals will adopt our search engine."

"So, the company is positioned as a search technology provider?" Song Weiyang asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Larry said.

Song Weiyang asked again: "Even if the global portal websites use your search engine, what about?"

Sergei asked: "What then?"

Song Weiyang said: "Microsoft's operating system is linked to computers and application software, so they can last for a long time. And your search engine cannot be permanently bound to any website. In the future, there will be more and more competitors. You can occupy 30% of the market share, which is already very powerful. How should you develop in the future?"

Larry was silent.

Sergei asked: "What do you think you should do?"

Song Weiyang said: "Of course, I am trying hard to make money to make myself bigger and enrich my content, not just targeting search technology suppliers."

"Yahoo is actually losing money, and it all depends on financing and listing. How can we work hard to make money in search engines?" Larry said angrily.

Song Weiyang smiled and took out the banknotes and wrote a confidentiality agreement by hand: "I'll tell me if I sign this."

The confidentiality agreement is very simple, that is, the "search engine keyword sponsor link advertising ranking" model was proposed by Song Weiyang and must not be disclosed to third parties. Without permission, it may not be used for search engine companies created by Larry and Sergei.

The last sentence is the key point.

The two technical homes don’t even want to play advertisements, let alone sponsor link advertisement rankings. They signed a confidentiality agreement very happily under the trend of curiosity.

In fact, this agreement does not have any legal effect. It is mainly because the content description is unclear and cannot be sued, but it is also possible to act like a show.

"Please speak." Larry said.

Song Weiyang gestured on a blank paper: "Now, whether it is the United States or China, advertising on the global website is fixed, and the content of each online page is limited, which leads to the limited advertising fees charged by the website. Moreover, this kind of advertisement is becoming more and more annoying by netizens, and the effect is getting worse and worse. Is that true?"

"Yes." Sergei nodded, and he never clicked on web ads.

"Can we do this?" Song Weiyang gestured, "The keyword search results are displayed on the left and the keyword search advertisement results are displayed on the right. There are no fixed advertisements on our page, and the homepage is clean. But as long as netizens search for keywords, the normal search content is displayed on the left, and the advertisements connected to the keywords are displayed on the right. For example, if someone searches for 'computer', then Apple, Imb and other products will appear on the advertising bar on the right. In this way, you can receive advertising orders from all industries and companies at the same time!"

Larry and Sergei were both shocked. This is a hen that lays eggs!

Traditional portal website advertisements have only so many pages, and if there are too many advertisements, it will also attract users' disgust. However, Song Weiyang proposed a method to receive advertisements without limit and make money and make money.

Song Weiyang continued: "For the same keyword, we can accept advertisements from many companies. There are two ways to rank ahead, one is who has more money and who is in front, and the other is to rank reasonably through calculation formulas."

Sergei said: "Of course, we are in a reasonable ranking. Whoever has more money will get, how can we identify scammers and counterfeit manufacturers? Even if we identify qualifications and there are too many advertisers, we can't identify them."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "This kind of advertising is self-service, and advertising providers can choose. For example, my products are mainly sold in California, so they only invest in California advertisements. Only netizens with IP addresses in California will appear when searching for keywords. This greatly reduces the advertising fees of manufacturers and they will like them even more."

Larry looked at Song Weiyang in amazement: "I heard Mr. Ding talk about your deeds, and now I finally understand why you can become a big businessman in a few years!"

Song Weiyang said: "How much is my business model worth? How many shares should I convert it into?"

"I don't know, I can't estimate it." Larry was already discouraged.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "So, I will take another step back. I only have 55% of the equity. Moreover, when Wall Street Capital comes in in the future, if I encounter differences, my voting rights of shares will be unconditionally on your side."

"Really?" Larry and Sergey asked at the same time.

"Really," said Song Weiyang, "I also hate Wall Street capitalists, who have brought Yahoo into a dead end. I don't want our company to be the next Yahoo. Regarding this, we can write a private agreement."

We must stand on the side of the founder, otherwise Google may be tortured to death by Wall Street.

Historically, although Eric Schmidt, sent by Wall Street, made Google grow rapidly and make a fortune, he is at most Cook, and the two founders are Jobs. Most of the investments and acquisitions in technology were argued by the two founders.

"So, happy cooperation!" Larry stood up and shook hands.
