The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 385 The birth of webo

Zuckerberg felt that what Versailles said was right. Since the enemy is shameless first, it doesn't matter if he is shameless.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zuckerberg does not want Versailles to cultivate other social networking sites, because Zuckerberg has already seen that, even if it is a fool, as long as it is copied according to the Chinese website, it will definitely fail. Success.

Of course, if Chinese websites operate in the United States, they are still not localized enough, but it doesn’t matter, as long as you combine some ideas in your mind with this template, you will be able to create a face that is most suitable for the United States. book out.

Ever since, Zuckerberg brought in a few of his roommates, and it only took a week to come up with the prototype of the American version of Facebook, and then enthusiastically handed over the prototype to Versailles for review.

Versailles took it back and looked at it for one night, and then told Zuckerberg that his product was fine, and he could prepare for the launch of the product immediately.

"Boss, this thing is still missing a name, you can take it!" Zuckerberg said proactively. He originally wanted the name Facebook, but Facebook is already owned by someone else, so Zuckerberg lost Out of interest in naming, he obediently gave him to Versailles.

"I think, let's call it Webo!" Versailles pondered for a while, and then said without hesitation.

"Webo? It means web!" After hearing this, Zuckerberg couldn't help nodding his head. Web means Internet. The name has such a meaning, it's quite appropriate!

"In addition, this is a compound noun. we means us, and bo means blogger, which is the abbreviation of blog, which means a small blog. Now I am different from blog articles with hundreds or thousands of words. Webo publishes, It should be mainly small articles that are controlled within 200 words, through rapid updates to achieve high-speed dissemination and fragmentation of information, and then..." Versailles explained the meaning of the name webo, and Zuckerberg heard Mesmerized.

In the end, he was convinced to Vernes, "Boss, please don't say that you don't know how to use the Internet. Just what you said just now is enough to be our teacher!"

"Hmm..." Versailles didn't speak. In fact, she probably didn't understand these words. They were all what Huang He told her, and she just memorized them.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, webo will descend on the great American continent and become the most powerful social networking site in the world!" Zuckerberg said confidently, while Versailles smiled nonchalantly.

In fact, she didn't know how much this Zuckerberg could do, but because Huang He was optimistic about him, then he should be capable.It's just that the boss gave Zuckerberg too much authority, and said that as long as he doesn't sell the company's interests, he is allowed to do whatever he wants, which is too much trust, obviously these two people should have never even met face to face That's right.

"Boss, I'll use my computer as a server to get the website online first. Shall we register the company together tomorrow, find an office address, and find a way to get a few servers and a few dedicated network cables? It is estimated that within a few days, my laptop will not be able to handle a large amount of data access!" Zuckerberg said excitedly.

"Hold it!" Hearing what the other party said, Versailles handed a note to Zuckerberg, and Zuckerberg took a look at it!Found an address written on it.

"This is?"

"This is the address of webo's company. The company has been successfully registered as early as a month ago, and the address was fixed at that time. It is a small three-story building near Silicon Valley. It should be very suitable for your work. convenient."

"Also, I have already recruited financial and administrative personnel for you in advance, and there is also 1 million US dollars in cash in the company's account, which you can transfer at will. Now the company is operating normally, just waiting for you, the company president, But you still have to find a way to recruit a group of technicians, I don’t understand these things, you can handle them yourself!” Vernes circuit.

"Boss, you've done so comprehensively. I'm just checking in with my bags!" Zuckerberg said excitedly. In the blink of an eye, he immediately became the president of the company, mobilizing 1 million US dollars of funds at will, and Now I am just an ordinary college student who has not yet graduated. This is an unimaginable start.

Well, I can write a book in the future called "Starting Ten Thousand Resources Number"!
Seeing Zuckerberg's excited look, Versailles also showed a slight smile. It was not wrong for this company to give Zuckerberg, but the administrative staff and property personnel inside were all sent by their own head office.

If Zuckerberg works with peace of mind, these people will naturally cooperate.But if Zuckerberg has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, then these people will immediately control everything in the company, and Zuckerberg is nothing!
"By the way, you will go to Apple with me in a few days!" Versailles said suddenly.

"Go to Apple, really? Can I really go to Apple? Can I meet Mr. Jobs?" Zuckerberg suddenly became extremely excited, because Zuckerberg has two idols in his life , one is Bill Gates, and the other is Jobs.

One is a commercial idol, and the other is a technical idol. Now that he has the opportunity to go to Apple, he might have the opportunity to meet Jobs. Zuckerberg can be regarded as satisfying his desire to chase stars.

"Naturally!" Versailles nodded and said, "Apple invited our company to participate in the second round of bidding. This round of meeting will officially determine the winning bidder for Apple's procurement of servers. Jobs will more or less show up. You can see He, but I'm not sure if I can talk to him!"

"And the main goal this time is to sell the servers produced by our company, and let you see the world by the way!"

"Our company still operates and produces servers?" Zuckerberg was shocked, and then happily asked, "Then webo can buy servers for free?".

"No, although both of your companies are subsidiaries of the head office, the two companies operate independently, so they need their own independent finances. You have to pay as much as you should, not less than a dime. !” Versailles crushed Zuckerberg’s idea of ​​profit-making.

"Yang, thank you very much for choosing HP Compaq in the end, you will not regret your choice today!"

【PS: In 02, HP merged with Compaq and became HP Compaq. 】

"Yes, Mr. Packard, I also believe in this very much!" At a signing ceremony, Yang Zhiyuan and Packard held hands tightly.

Packard was the general manager of HP Compaq's marketing department, and he was also the person in charge of bidding for Yahoo's order this time. He finally succeeded in winning 20 billion of Yahoo's 16 billion orders, which was the biggest bite of the cake.

However, HP Compaq's ability to win this order has nothing to do with it. After all, this is a commercial transaction between private companies, and the most important thing is only three words, that is, cost performance.

Within the range that meets your own conditions, choose the product with the highest cost performance, and Compaq is the most perfect option.

All orders can be settled within half a year, and at the same time, the price can be guaranteed to be the lowest in the industry. Although HP Compaq's servers sometimes have some failures, in terms of stability, they are not as good as IBM and Samsung's servers. But for the price, it doesn't matter.

As for the remaining 4 million US dollars, it belongs to Samsung, because Samsung’s high-end storage server data is ahead of HP Compaq’s servers. Considering that part of the business requires higher data response speed, it still bought 4 million US dollars. storage server.

In this way, Yahoo's 20 billion cake will be completely divided.

Poor our boss Huang traveled all the way to the United States, but in the end he still lost the $20 billion order, which is really pitiful.

"Mr. Packard, let's stay and have dinner tonight. I know a very good club. Why don't we go and relax together!" Jerry Yang said with a smile.

Some people may wonder, as the purchaser of this deal, Jerry Yang should be the one with a higher rank, so why is he still so enthusiastic about Packard?
That is naturally because Packard is richer than Jerry Yang.

Regardless of the fact that Yahoo behind Jerry Yang has a market value of US$1 billion, the problem is that after layers of equity dilution, Jerry Yang’s shareholding as the founder is currently only 200% (it seems that he said before that he has 6.6% of the shares. , the result was pointed out by a reader to be wrong, Jerry Yang only has 10% of Yahoo shares left at this time), if calculated according to the market value, it is about 6.6 billion US dollars of wealth.

But Kappard is different. His father, Kappard Sr., was the chairman of Hewlett-Packard, so HP and Compaq later merged, diluting the shares, but the Kappard family still owns nearly 20% of the shares of the new company. , and now the market value of HP Compaq is 1 billion U.S. dollars, so in terms of net worth and HP Compaq's shares alone, the Kappard family will surpass Jerry Yang.

In addition, the Kappard family started to make a fortune 100 years ago. In addition to owning shares in HP Compaq, they also own shares in many other companies, and their combined wealth is even more terrifying.

And now Kappard, as the next generation head of the family, has extremely terrifying economic and political power behind him. An Internet upstart like Yang Zhiyuan dare not show off in front of Kappard.

For example, Yang Zhiyuan is like a local tyrant who got rich through speculation in the 90s.

And Kappard is an old GM whose ancestors followed the great man for two generations. Although Kappard himself is still a businessman, he has old comrades, old classmates and old relationships all over China. Yang Zhiyuan saw Kappard De, can you disrespect?
