Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

After dealing with the affairs in Europe, Xu Cun did not return to Xiangjiang or Beijing, but flew to Neverland Ranch in California with his daughters.

Xu Cun brought his daughters to Neverland Manor not for vacation, but for two people. Don’t get me wrong, this time Xu Cun brought not 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 website 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 regions. The region provides 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.

Yang Zhiyuan was born in Taipei and entered Stanford University with honors four years ago - the school's electrical engineering department is part of Silicon Valley China.

Yang Zhiyuan majored in electrical engineering. It only took him four years to obtain a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, and he met David Ferro.

This year, Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo started to create the Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide, and are preparing to incorporate Yahoo.

Yahoo’s Bull B doesn’t need to be said at all, not to mention its huge business in 24 countries and regions, but it alone owns 39% of Alibaba’s value of more than 250 billion US dollars at the time. Equity, even Xu Cun would never dare to underestimate it, and would not hesitate to get it by any means!

...

Neverland is very close to Silicon Valley, so close that Xu Cun can reach Silicon Valley in just over 20 minutes by car.

At present, the most potential enterprise in Silicon Valley is not Yahoo, which has not yet been officially registered, but a company named after a browser "Mosaic" released by the National Supercomputer Application Center of the University of Illinois in Illinois last year, Mosaic, That is, Netscape Communications Company - Mosaic was developed shortly after Mark Anderson of the Mosaic Development Center and Jim Clark, the founder of Silicon Graphic, created Mosaic in Silicon Valley.

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

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

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

Netscape was once very powerful in the last life, and even occupied 90% of the browser market share, and its market value soared all the way-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 previous life, when Microsoft entered this field, Netscape browser quickly failed miserably. After two thousand years, the market share of Netscape browser dropped from 90% to less than 1%.

Microsoft's windows system is a big killer. It comes with IE browser when installed. It is impossible for other browsers to compete with it. Only when the market prospers in the future can it compete with IE browser with powerful custom functions Grabbing the market, and the Netscape browser is obviously impossible to survive until then. Therefore, 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, Mosaic Netscape 0.9, Netscape's most popular browser, has not yet been developed. It was easy for Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who were short of research and development funds, to sell 45% of Netscape's shares to Xu Cun.

Under such circumstances, 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 Mark Anderson and Jim Clark too much, so he handed over Netscape to Yuan Tianfan and the others.

Afterwards, Xu Cun took people to the "R\u0026D room" of Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo, which is where the future Yahoo was born.

...

When Xu Cun appeared, not only Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese, but even David Filo, an American, were extremely shocked!

This shows how famous Xu Cun is.

Looking around at the messy hut of less than ten square meters and poor lighting, Xu Cun first secretly sighed, "Sure enough, starting a business is not difficult!" Then he said to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro: " I heard that you have made a small software that collects hundreds of URLs?"

Hearing that Xu Cun came here for their portal website, Yang Zhiyuan, who was only in his twenties, and David Ferro, who was also in his twenties, both looked excited, and David Ferro couldn't wait to say: "You The one mentioned is the unupgraded version. Yang and I also made a software, which is an upgraded version of the URL collector. It is similar to a telephone directory, and the content includes 14 categories such as news, entertainment, science, and education. It can also be further subdivided, and users only need to enter keywords to query the corresponding website information!"

After hearing David Ferro's words, Xu Cun's mind immediately came up with the Internet navigation service from his previous life.

Xu Cun said: "Can I see your research results?"

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

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

Honestly--

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

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

but--

Although he is not used to the DOS system, Xu Cun has used it to play games for several years after all, so Xu Cun can also use it to switch screens skillfully and quickly find the unfinished Yahoo web page navigation.

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

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

Soon, Xu Cun determined that Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo had created the 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 Ferro, and said, "I like your research results very much, let's start a company together, and I will give you 10% of the shares. "
