With a whole manor to live in, although reporters are still secretly guarding the door, in a completely closed environment, the other party cannot enter and cannot see the scene inside, so the natural impact is pitiful. This makes Kaos also

You can devote yourself wholeheartedly to your work.

And while working wholeheartedly during the summer, I carefully supervised and guided the company's major R&D groups, striving to get the other modules online as soon as possible. The simplest one is the picture module, followed by music and video.

, the final map module is the most difficult and most expensive module.

After all, it will eventually be made like the mobile phone maps of later generations, which can be zoomed in and out, and have all kinds of extremely detailed information. This will require enough manpower to inspect and measure step by step, and even commercial satellites will be needed in the future.

of joining.

Such a large project is definitely not something that Google can complete today.

Therefore, Kaos’s goal is basically to focus on functions such as pictures, music and videos. After a month of hard work, music search was launched first, followed by picture functions.

The launch of these two functions has made Google's daily traffic data even more gratifying.

At the same time, under Carson's leadership, Google also began to gradually enter the international market, first landing in more than a dozen countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada.

These are areas in the traditional Western world. It is precisely because of this that Google login is very successful and has become popular in various countries without encountering any obstacles.

New markets and new opportunities. As Google enters more countries, its daily search volume continues to rise. In the last few days of July, it reached a maximum of 500 million searches a day, giving the market more confidence.

, and at the same time, the revenue from the advertising business is also rising linearly, one day at a time.

"Kaos, Yahoo just removed our search engine and replaced it with their own online search engine."

While Kaos was studying how to start building the map module, Carson walked in in a hurry, with a solemn and nervous expression.

"Okay, don't worry so much. Aren't we already mentally prepared?"

Although Kaos is also very nervous, as the top leader of the company, he cannot show it. Instead, he has to pretend to be confident and confident.

"Well, even though I say this, I still can't help but feel nervous. That's Yahoo."

Carson shrugged his shoulders dumbfounded, and then continued to answer: "When I came here just now, the data department had already reported that the search volume was on a straight-line decline."

"Don't worry, for online search users, what they pursue is accuracy and the amount of information. We have sufficient technical reserves in this regard, and it is impossible for them to catch up in a short time."

Kaos smiled at Carson. If Google could still cooperate with Yahoo before the financing was successful, then after the financing was successful and preparations for listing began, this balance was broken.

Yahoo will not allow anyone to form a competitive relationship with it, even if there is such a sign, it will never be allowed. This is the weakness of Internet software companies. They do not have any entities, just a bunch of data and code.

When a new program can replace your function and perform better, it is likely to kill you overnight. It was worth hundreds of billions yesterday and will be almost worthless today.

This has also made the competition among Internet companies extremely fierce. Carson often has to review whether there are commercial spies mixed in, while Kaos monitors and fights against hacker attacks on the Internet and builds its own protective anti-virus software.

The company is less than a year old. In addition to its rapid business development and massive personnel increase, it also added an anti-espionage department within the company. As for the protective anti-virus software, it is extremely mature. Kaos is already preparing to launch a free anti-virus software:

google antivirus.

"Although this is correct, some users will eventually be diverted away."

He understood what Kaos said, but Carson still felt a little distressed. During the previous promotion, the data had increased little by little, but now it was disappearing.

I understand Carson's mood, but Kaos has no choice but to wait slowly and let users feel the excellence of Google.

..................................................

In the first week after I retired from the Yahoo portal in early July, the daily search volume data dropped by about 20% in seven days. I almost lost 100 million searches. Fortunately, I had the ability to make up for it in the international market.

Part of the traffic is what makes the company's performance less ugly.

In the second week after that, Kaos also became a little nervous. He led the employees in the technical department several times to continuously update the search engine functions, making Google perform better and better among users, surpassing Yahoo.

The newly launched search engine caused the entire data to start to show an upward trend in the second week.

Coupled with the fact that Carson continued to work hard to open up the market in the international market and open more and more countries, Google's search volume increased again. In mid-August, it surpassed the previous data and reached

Data with 510 million daily searches.

The crisis caused by Yahoo was finally resolved.

The confrontation with Yahoo delayed the development of Google for a full month and a half, and the losses were not negligible. But there was still a good thing, that is, after withstanding the pressure from Yahoo, the market's evaluation of Google improved.

Quite a few.

In the past, it was just a dark horse, but now it is the son of tomorrow with the hope of surpassing Yahoo.

The company's valuation follows Yahoo's stock price and continues to rise.

"Congratulations, you have withstood Yahoo's pressure this time. It seems that Google will soar into the sky and become Yahoo's second place in the future."

After the market stabilized, Mike Moritz from Sequoia Capital immediately called and happily congratulated Kaos.

"Haha, congratulations, I lived up to expectations and didn't let Mr. Moritz lose money on your investment."

He was laughing loudly, but there was no smile on Kaos's face. For Sequoia Capital, Google and Yahoo are just poison in the urn. No matter who wins in the end, for Sequoia Capital, the capital behind the scenes,

Neither will lose money.

During this period of time when the competition between the two was the fiercest, Mike Moritz didn't even make a single call. He was completely fair and just, waiting for the final result to come out.

Although Kaos understood that this was the way for VC to survive, he still couldn't bear his unhappiness.

"By the way, I have news about the satellite company you asked me to inquire about. There is a Maxar company that has plans to launch commercial satellites recently, which is very suitable for your needs."

It seems that he also knew that he had offended his partners by not providing help to Google during the previous confrontation, so he specially prepared gifts to make up for the rift between the two parties.

"Oh, that's really great."

A company that launches and owns commercial satellites has been of great help to the Google map module. This made Kaos's previous unhappiness disappear all of a sudden, and he started a passionate conversation with Mike Moritz.
