There is a lot written on the document, eighteen pages in total.
Linda Yun selected the key points to help translate, and Su Yehao lay on the sofa and listened carefully.
To sum up, this team has developed a patent that can enhance the accuracy of user search results and create a new algorithm for optimizing web page rankings.
Su Yehao also has a team working on search engines.
The tot portal website and search engine have become popular in the mainland, with more than 300,000 monthly active users and a market share of more than 90%.
A market share of over 90% at every turn sounds a bit like a fantasy.
However, the fact is that no one really competes with him, or even if there are mainland counterparts, they are not on the same level as him. Su Yehao's business is in Silicon Valley, and its scale can only be considered medium, so he easily crushes them.
At this time, Su Yehao interrupted Linda Yun and said with interest:
"Although I heard it vaguely, there seems to be something there. Which company does this technology belong to?"
After reading it, Linda Yun replied: "I don't know, it doesn't seem to be written on it. This promotion brochure is very carefully done. It doesn't look like those small companies started in garages. I saw Larry in the shareholder list.
Ellison's name, he owns 25%."
"Hey, the founder of Oracle invested in it?"
Su Yehao sat up and reached out to take the folder. Sure enough, Larry Ellison's name was on the seventh page.
As if to prevent others from seeing it, the font was specially enlarged, bolded, and two sizes larger than other text. The introduction on the side said that in June, Larry Ellison raised US$200,000.
Calculating the time, only more than five months have passed.
This shows that no matter how fast this company develops, it is unlikely to get much bigger.
The information was all in English, which made Su Yehao's head hurt. He looked left and right, but he couldn't find any information related to the founding team or the company. It was probably because he was not well-known and the scale was extremely small, so he was too embarrassed to include it in the promotion materials.
.
Linda Yun looked at the authentic old British housekeeper and asked: "This information does not have a packaging bag. It was not sent through the post office, right? Did the other party leave a business card?"
"...I still have some impression that two young men came, said to be students from Stanford University, driving a very old white Dodge car, but the security guard did not let them in."
After the old butler finished speaking, he immediately blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry. They should have asked them to register and leave information. At that time, I was busy arranging for people to clean the swimming pool."
Su Yehao waved his hands indifferently and said to the housekeeper: "It doesn't matter. You can still find it if you want to. There is surveillance at the door. I should have taken a picture of the license plate, or go to Stanford University to ask others. It's a very simple thing..."
Looked at it a few more times.
Inexplicably, he felt that this patent looked familiar.
Algorithms, rankings, plus search engines, and they also originate from Stanford University, the more they look, the more they look like a famous future giant - Google.
Like Yahoo, Google was born on the Stanford campus in its previous life.
Su Yehao has also seen news such as "Yang Zhiyuan missed Google! I regretted it and cried bitterly!", "Shocked! I missed hundreds of billions of dollars, the most miserable man in the world..." and other news, so even though I don't use Google, I still know about this I have a somewhat vague impression of the company.
From a logical point of view.
Due to the butterfly effect caused by Su Yehao, some subtle changes have occurred in the world.
His products have tens of millions of users, and each of them changes a little bit, which adds up to pushing the future in an unknown direction.
A person in the past life who should have lived in good health until the 20s of the 21st century may have been involved in a car accident because he wasted time chatting and went out a little late.
It is also possible that you should have married someone else, but ended up marrying or marrying another person because you fell into online dating.
A lot of small things have changed, but the overall direction hasn't changed much.
Talents with ability and brains can still develop similar products. After all, the demand is there, so Su Yehao still dares to invest in Apple, Amazon and other companies, because the general direction of technological development has not changed, and some products themselves are in line with Market demand gives it the opportunity to go very far.
Thinking that it was indeed very possible to meet Google again, Su Yehao became more energetic.
If it were really Google, it doesn’t matter whether it could replicate its success. Anyway, this patented algorithm technology looks interesting.
Yahoo's search engine Su Yehao is also using it. It is not accurate enough in the first place. Recently, there has been a lot of pressure on performance, and there have been a lot of advertisements. The increase in profits has indeed stimulated the stock price, but the user experience is not very good.
With the attitude of giving it a try, he asked someone to contact the security company and adjust the surveillance to find the white Dodge car mentioned by the housekeeper.
Find the license plate quickly and the rest is easy...

That evening.
A briefing paper appeared in Su Yehao's hand.
As an ordinary person in his previous life, Su Yehao had little impression of the founder of Google.
At this moment, when I saw the names "Larry Page" and "Sergey Brin" in the document, I felt extremely strange.
If it were Jobs, Gates, or Facebook founder Zuckerberg, Su Yehao would definitely recognize them at a glance. Logically speaking, they are all super rich, but he does not know these two well enough.
The money was spent and the investigation was carried out very quickly.
According to the information, in 1996, Page and Brin, two roommates at Stanford University, began to collaborate on a search engine called "backrub", improved it and developed a webpage ranking patent.
In June this year, they received a sum of funds from the founder of Oracle, and in September they registered a search engine company called "backline". Currently, the number of daily searches has just exceeded 20,000, and it has been influenced by Stanford University. Good reviews from university students.
And most of its users are students.
The document said that they were seeking investment recently, which explains why they found Su Yehao here.
It's just... Su Yehao still doesn't have an accurate answer as to whether it is Google or not. Who called it "anti-link".
"Damn self-media, why don't you push some news from Google more accurately?"
After complaining, I went to a computer to search for the keyword "anti-link search engine" and tried using it on a simple page. I found it not as easy to use as Yahoo.
There is the example of tot first. Su Yehao knew that search engines need user data optimization, so he did not rush to draw conclusions for the time being. He made a phone call and asked John Zhou to find some programmers who knew search engines to study this anti-link.
It doesn't matter if the names are different.
Maybe when I was thinking of a company name, I lost the idea and then put on another layer of skin.
When evaluating a project, the key point is to see whether the technical and talent teams are reliable.
If it turns out to be better than Yahoo and develops smoothly, Su Yehao doesn't want the self-media to ridicule him for being miserable, blind, and passing by a good company in ten or twenty years.
With so many entrepreneurial teams rejected recently, it is inevitable that a few will slip through the cracks.
After personally experiencing Silicon Valley, Su Yehao realized that it was not Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan who had no vision. He could only say that he was unlucky and had insufficient luck...
