Chapter 162 Let me invest in you (first order plus 55)

"To be or not to be"

Lin Xiao said another sentence.

After hearing this, Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised at Lin Xiao's understanding of this industry.

Lin Xiao was talking about AltaVista's classic search queries.

AltaVista, developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), is one of the most popular search engines today.

Previous search engines could search very little content, especially for function words, such as to, be, and not in English, which are not indexed, but AltaVista can search.

One of the most classic AltaVista search queries is Shakespeare's famous line "to be or not bo be".

And Inktomi is currently the largest search engine, Yahoo and MSN searches use Inktomi search.

"Yes, those two are very good search engines, but our Google is not bad." This time, it was Sergey Brin who spoke.

Larry Page also nodded and said: "AltaVista's algorithm invention is great, he can search more results, but most of the results are not relevant to the query, and our Google can make the results more accurate, and users You no longer have to turn through several pages of search pages to find the results you want.”

"So, AltaVista solved the recall rate, and you solved the precision rate?" Lin Xiao asked softly.

In the academic circle of information retrieval, there are two objective standards to measure the quality of search, one is the recall rate and the other is the precision rate.

"Yes, Lin, you are really a professional."

Larry Page showed a smile on his face. They have introduced products to many people in the past two years, and every time they have to operate and explain, so that those who are not familiar with search can understand the advantages of Google.

But now, Lin Xiao was able to comprehend immediately after he just started, which made them feel like they had found a confidant.

"Lin, do you also do the Internet?" Sergey Brin also asked curiously at this time.

Lin Xiao nodded, then said to the two with a smile: "I have thought about this recently, but the situation in Huaxia is different from yours, and I don't have algorithm technology like yours, so I won't be a search engine. "

"Let's talk about my U disk with you, you should have heard of this product."

"Yes, our company also bought one, great product." Larry Page said.

At this time, Lin Xiao took out two USB flash drives and handed them to Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

"According to our Huaxia practice, when we meet for the first time, we like to bring some small gifts."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin took it, and said to Lin Xiao with a little embarrassment: "Oh, sorry, Lin, we are not prepared."

"It's okay, you guys will take me to the company later and let me experience the most advanced search technology, that's also a great gift."

In one sentence, Lin Xiao not only solved the embarrassment of the two, but also called Google the most advanced search technology, which made the faces of the two founders suddenly smile.

Immediately, Lin Xiao began to roughly introduce the process of establishing Eternal Technology. He has already talked about this with many people, and each time he will make some adjustments according to different people.

For example, now, after Lin Xiao briefly talked about the R&D process, he talked more about the product promotion after the company was established, the exhibitions held in Deguo, the cooperation with IBM, and the current market size.

When they heard that Lin Xiao's Eternal Technology had achieved profitability within a few months, both of them had a hint of envy on their faces.

"Lin, this is so enviable. Although our customers and traffic are constantly increasing, we still don't know how to make money."

Larry Page said a little helplessly: "And we keep spending money every day."

"Are you using the investor's money?" Lin Xiao asked.

Larry Page nodded, "We received our first angel investment of US$10 last summer, and later received an investment of US$100 million from an angel investor group, but now the money is about to run out."

"Just now we came to the school's entrepreneurship office to see if we can find new investors. The school's suggestion is that if you need large-scale funds, you should go to venture capital."

still have a chance!Lin Xiao was secretly happy when he heard this.

Google has not yet received venture capital money, which means that its current amount of funds still has a chance to enter the market.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face and said, "Are you going to find a venture capitalist?"

"With this idea, we now need more funds, which cannot be met by ordinary investors, and it is difficult for others except venture capital to correctly evaluate the value of our company." Larry Page said.

"Venture investors do have a lot of money, but their money is not easy to get." Lin Xiao said seriously.

"Taking venture capital money means that they will continue to put pressure on you, you have to think about how to make a profit every day, and I think it is obvious at this stage that you should focus on how to continue to optimize the product and expand the user scale. "

"Of course, venture capital firms are still entirely possible to assign a director to the company. If they think you are not doing well enough, maybe the CEO will also have to be appointed by them. It is not a very pleasant thing to be interfered with by other people in decision-making."

Lin Xiao's words made Larry Page and Sergey Brin frown. Although what Lin Xiao said was a relatively bad result, there are indeed many precedents.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lin Xiao continued:

"Of course, I know very well that it is inevitable for start-ups in the United States to find venture capital, because they have very good resources.

However, I think it would be better for you to wait a little later, when your scale is bigger, or you really show your competitiveness, so that you can get a bigger valuation in front of venture capital companies, and most importantly, Can get more voice. "

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, and the latter said helplessly:

"Lin, we know what you're saying makes sense, but the company really needs money right now. If we don't solve the money problem within a month, our server may not be able to handle it."

Larry Page also said with a little embarrassment at this time: "Actually, we just received a call from the bank this morning urging us to return the credit card."

"Oh, so I just heard you say that your company is profitable, which is really enviable."

Facing the eyes of the two, Lin Xiao said at this time: "You two, I didn't intend to satirize you, but I have never encountered such a problem as you.

The bonuses in my hand have always been abundant, except that the company is currently making a profit, and I just earned several million yuan from the stock market. Oh, yes, as I told you just now, I am also planning to do Internet. "

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were even more speechless.

Larry Page said with longing on his face: "It would be great if we had a few million dollars as start-up capital."

At this time, Lin Xiao continued to say in Versailles, "To be honest, my project doesn't cost so much money. I just launched a software in China last month, and it has already started to make money..."

This... Larry Page and Sergey Brin felt like they were hit hard.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Lin Xiao seemed to wake up suddenly, and said to Larry Page and Sergey Brin with a little excitement: "Why don't I invest in you guys."
