Chapter 263: The Disappearing Google

But Yahoo, one of the giants of the Internet companies at this time, actually has major flaws in search engines. Its online directory search is entirely manually input. It turns out that this method can no longer keep up with the growth of explosive web pages and websites. People are looking for a new, more convenient and intelligent automatic search engine. In fact, in this era of heroes, there were many rivals of Google's contemporary era, such as the metasearch technology that was hailed as the technology-leading metasearch technology at the time; the most famous Infoseek search engine in the industry, Baidu founder Li Yanhong worked for it; and the fastest and largest search engine - Norway's Fast, etc. At this time, Google had not been born from the university dormitory of Larry Page and Sergei Brin, and there was not even a name. No wonder John King felt that Yang Xing's spending a lot of money was incredible.

But Yang Xing knew how popular Google would be in more than ten years. As a company that can challenge Microsoft's position as the overlord of the IT industry, Yang Xing would certainly not let it go. However, he also has a reason to not resort to it. If it were just a simple investment, it would be better to invest in Google now, and he could wait a little longer. The best investment opportunity should actually be before Google went public. At that time, Google had a clear investment prospect and stable returns. If you entered the early stage of Google's entrepreneurship, you were poor and useless and still faced an uncertain company's future. After all, the butterfly effect caused by Yang Xing's rebirth not only brings him benefits, but also has some unknown risks.

But Yang Xing couldn't wait. He felt very fed up with a founder of Google. In his previous life, Google's farce of openly announcing that it would not accept content censorship and withdrawing from the Chinese market made him very upset. Google openly challenged the authority of the Chinese government and repeatedly used the so-called human rights and freedom to discredit China. A company that voluntarily changed its English name to Chinese "Google", actually ignored the country's national conditions and arrogantly believed that it could allow a country's government to change its policies for their business behavior. It was simply an ideological fanaticism that covered its eyes and completely ignored its commercial interests.

Among them, Google founder Sergei Brin is the most suspicious, because he is a descendant of Soviet immigrants. When his family moved to the United States, it was the peak of the Cold War. So he felt from the bottom of his heart that his family was persecuted by the Soviet government and had instinctive disgust and rejection of other countries that implemented the socialist system. When he later founded Google with Larry Page, he had clashed with Page and Schmidt, then CEO, for this many times, and finally made such irrational actions. Since Yang Xing wanted to take Google under his command, he naturally had to kick out the rat shit of Sergei Brin from the beginning.

Yang Xing would not tell others about these considerations, but with such a good opportunity, he has obtained this search engine now, and his Star Dynamic Network has added another killer to the global promotion. At this time, Chinese search engines have just started. Sohu, which is imitating Yahoo in China, and Openfind in Taiwan are all rookies in Chinese search engines. Since Yang Xing has obtained the most expensive crown among search engines, although it is a bit hasty, an investment of 10 million US dollars is enough to build an epoch-making search engine. He wants to wait and see Wu Haijun and others to find Li Yanhong, who is probably still searching for investors, and use his hyperchain analysis technology to merge the advantages of Google and Baidu, so that a search engine can unify its fortunes for thousands of years.

As for the name of this new search engine, he discussed with Ma Huateng, Wu Haijun, and King John, and called it shooting star. He took the sentence "The state is in the gate, eager for sparks" in Li Mi's confession, which is a metaphor for the light of a meteor flashing through the air. The urgency and urgency is in line with the search engine's "fast, accurate, and good". It also implies his attempt to "a spark can start a prairie". He explained a little, and his subordinates expressed admiration. Not only did the boss have a good understanding of new technologies, but he also understood Chinese traditional culture very deeply! So flattered

The words of flattery made Yang Xing feel that this time he was reborn, and he finally left something indelible to the world. He was excited and hummed his favorite song in the car loudly - Tsui Hark's version of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" theme song Canghai laughed, "Canghai laughed, the tides on both sides of the shore, floating and rising, only remembering today..." The song was very far away. Guo Ying, who was sitting in the car in front, shook her head and sighed after hearing it: "What a great man, except for his love to go crazy from time to time, it is perfect!" Liao Qing and Wen Tian next to her were amused and rolled onto her.

The car drove very quickly, and Yang Xing made a big deal to kill Google in the car. He was in a really happy mood. He looked at the beautiful scenery outside the car window and felt very pleasant. The end point of the car was Santa Clara City, the center of Silicon Valley. It looks not much different from ordinary rural towns in the United States. However, Yang Xing and the others looked at the Stardou Research Institute, which looked like a European castle manor-like appearance hidden by the group in the middle of the city. When they heard the quotation of this house, they gasped.

The building is now an office building that costs the group $10 million to buy. This time, everyone’s trip to the United States is used as a base camp for rest and accommodation. Looking at the many similar houses around, the staff here understands that the price of each house similar to the Hong Kong Garden Villas is not less than one million US dollars. Whether it is home or office, it is extremely luxurious. No wonder some people described this as the highest housing prices in the United States, and most of the IT upstarts and top scientific researchers living here.

But every penny is paid for, and tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises that mainly engage in high-tech technologies such as IT, biology, and new energy are concentrated around the American Research Institute. For Yang Xing, who is committed to developing the group's innovation capabilities and improving the company's manufacturing process, he can set up research institutions here to collect the world's most cutting-edge scientific and technological information and master the most timely new technological trends. The investment of 10 million US dollars is only a fraction, and quickly joins the international high-tech giants. These preliminary investments are essential.

However, Yang Xing came here in a hurry this time and had a big thing to do. They wanted to receive representatives from Goldman Sachs in the United States. Because at the Las Vegas Electronics Exhibition in the United States this year, Nebula Electronics shone brightly and launched a number of epoch-making products. What attracted Qualcomm the most was that Nebula Electronics launched several mobile phones built-in self-developed G** and CDMA technology call baseband chips, which shocked the audience. Qualcomm, which has CDMA technology, naturally couldn't sit still and wanted to negotiate with Nebula Electronics. When Wolf and Hawke, representatives of Goldman Sachs, walked here on time, looked at the newly decorated office environment with a strong Chinese style inside the institute, and looked at the look of alertness in their eyes. They knew the price of this unique office building. A company that was willing to spend so much money to buy a home business in Silicon Valley is probably not like when they came.

Qualcomm (QUALCOMM) was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in San Diego, California, not far from Silicon Valley. It is the founder of CDMA wireless communication technology. In the early days, the company developed satellite communication systems in the transportation industry, but it was not very famous. However, the turnaround soon came, and the company ushered in an opportunity they had always dreamed of. In 1987, the European telecommunications standards organization ETSI formulated a digital mobile communication standard, which is the famous G** standard in the future, and actively promoted it to the world. At that time, many countries adopted the standard, and G** has a trend of unifying the 2G mobile phone market standards.

As the leader of Western technology, the United States naturally feels uncomfortable. After all, the earliest wireless cellular telephone technology was invented by Americans. So in 1989, the United States was rushing to recognize a digital technology called time division multiple access (TDMA) by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). In just three months, when the communications industry generally questioned that the technology was launched too late and difficult to industrialize, Qualcomm launched a code division multiple access (CDMA) baseband chip for wireless and data products, and quickly occupied the mainstream communications markets in the United States, South Korea and Japan under the promotion of the powerful political power of the United States, South Korea and Japan.

Field. Although the global promotion of CDMA standard mobile phones has always been poor, and the intention to challenge the G** market has not succeeded. Mobile phones using CDMA model account for the global mobile phone shipment share cannot exceed the upper limit of 20% of the market share. However, compared with the situation where the G** mobile phone baseband chip market is invincible, Qualcomm, which has more than 3,900 CDMA patented technologies, is undoubtedly the king of this market, monopolizing most of the market share. Even powerful Korean and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers have to pay a fee to Qualcomm for the CDMA baseband chips in their mobile phones.

Like most European and American wireless communication manufacturers, Qualcomm implements a professional business model. It focuses on designing mobile phone chips, displays and power management technologies, without the need to develop a mobile phone from beginning to end. This is very different from most multinational companies in Korea, Japan and Asia, and multiple business models. It cannot be said that it is better or worse, it can only be said that it is a different business philosophy. Qualcomm adopts the method of widely granting patent licenses to the majority of wireless communication manufacturers, promoting CDMA technology, allowing partners to spread across five continents, and reducing the cost of intellectual property rights of customers through cross-licensing obtained from many other relevant patent holders, building a patent wall with solid CDMA technology to prevent anyone from challenging its boss status.
