Silicon Valley

Michael Dell has been thinking about this for more than a month, patience is really okay! ! !

However, Henry and others are not in a hurry. You can think about it as long as you like. As long as you don't develop your own servers, it's fine. Dell's servers are very good... In the past life, the brand share of Dell's servers ranked first in the world, and it can be compared with IBM. Competing against each other is not easy! Henry hopes that through the bundling of interests, the big ship of Dale will be tied together, and Noah's Ark will develop more smoothly!

In the previous life, Cisco also made servers, and it was not bad. Now, if the two join forces, it would be incredible to have a strong foundation, and I'm afraid it will take a big chunk out of IBM!

During this time, Henry often went to Isearch to assist them in research and development. Under Henry's very clear instructions, he quickly created a web crawler program according to the requirements, but the "crawling" speed was too slow, and it took N long to crawl the webpage. Henry expressed his dissatisfaction! Order them to continue to revise.

Web crawlers are not good, what search!

To know that the real difficulty of search engines is to analyze and process hundreds of millions of information in the network, so much information is extremely demanding for algorithms! When a user searches for a term, you have to find the most accurate one from a zillion messes of information, and fast!

If the algorithm does not work, it is sad. First, it takes a long time, and second, the returned information may not be accurate!

It's not a big deal now, the amount of information in the future will be hundreds of billions of records, and the search technology will be reflected in the algorithm!

While Henry was still tossing the Isearch group, Dell finally couldn't help but called Henry!

"Henry, I've thought it through!"

"Oh, what's your thinking?" Henry asked nervously, he didn't want to push Dell to the server side.

"Henry, I can't agree to your conditions!"

What? ! disagree!

Henry touched his forehead and felt a headache. Is Dell going to do something with Noah's Ark?

"Michael, don't make a decision in a hurry, or you should think about it..." Henry advised.

"Dell's hardware is diversified, and servers are essential. However, if I want to give up 30% of the shares, I would rather let Dell do research and development from scratch!" Michael Dell said firmly.

Henry was silent for a while, shaking his head secretly in his heart, Michael Dell takes the shares very seriously, it is really hard to get Dell to give up 30% of the shares!

Forget it, Noah's Ark is not afraid of any corporate challenges!

Noah's Ark will be trampled underfoot by IBM and Dell! ! !

Henry's heart suddenly felt a sense of war!

At this moment, he no longer forced Dell to join the Noah's Ark camp. Anyone who sells assembled computers can do a good job of servers. Henry doesn't believe it. The most professional server leader, Noah's Ark, can't compare to Dell! ! !

Henry hung up the phone and held an emergency meeting at Noah's Ark that same day. At the meeting, Henry informed Bob Gallagher, Gilly Hurt and John Chambers of Dell's refusal to exchange shares. !

"Dell has refused to exchange shares and decided to make its own servers! I don't have much to say here. I only have one request for Noah's Ark! Always innovate and stand out!!! I don't want any Companies can surpass Noah's Ark in the server industry!!!"

"Chairman, please rest assured!!! I promise, Bob, that the boat is there, and if Noah's Ark falls behind, I will be the first to resign!!!" Bob Gallagher looked firm and actually stood up Issue a military order.

There is no empire where the sun never sets. How can such a thing be accurate? Bob Gallagher is a very good professional manager, and he manages Noah's Ark very well. Henry doesn't want to lose such a good talent. So he waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary to take the blame and resign. As long as you work hard, I won't blame you!"

"Yes!!!" Bob Gallagher nodded slightly moved!

...

Not long after, Dell held a press conference announcing its entry into the server industry!

"Dell will set up a server department and vigorously develop the company's diversified hardware line! This time, we have prepared 50 million US dollars to make the server business bigger and stronger, and make it the world's top server!!!" Michael · Dell, in high spirits at the launch, announced loudly.

As soon as the news came out, Dell's shares rose $1.7 that day.

Dell is not just kidding, its action is very big! In just one week, Dell bought three server makers back and forth at an astonishing rate. Henry also learned of the situation when the final negotiation of the acquisition took place. But it is clear that Michael Dell had premeditated, contacted three server manufacturers before, and conducted some negotiations in secret!

After the negotiation was completed, Dell pretended to formally propose the acquisition. As a result, the two parties signed an agreement before the negotiation took place within a few minutes.

Henry was simply kept in the dark by Michael Delmon!

Henry has nothing to say about Michael Dell's unkindness. Anyway, Dell's stock will be sold sooner or later, whatever he does!

After Henry returned to the company, Helen told him that AOL was preparing to go public. Henry asked carefully. It turned out that AOL had burned a lot of money this year. In addition to making websites, they also provided users with Internet access services, that is, dial-up Internet access services. AOL is really useless, at first they just wanted to provide users with Internet access and then market the AOL website. But I never thought that with the acceleration of the US Science Foundation network and the increase of network coverage, the number of users accessing the network has increased sharply, so the Internet access service is actually very "money"! America Online does not have its own network, but it can rent other people's network channels and a large number of local telephone lines to provide network access services for local users!

The AOL website has been losing money, but the dial-up Internet service has made AOL a lot of money, and the financial statements are very good. And as the volume of dial-up Internet services increased, so did the traffic to the AOL website! With so many favorable conditions, AOL has not yet listed, Sequoia Capital should be scolding the mother: you know how to burn money, when will you earn it back!

It's just that the financial statements look good, but AOL's financial pressure is very great. Do you need to burn money to open a website? Does it cost money to rent network channels and lots of phone lines? In order to make the company grow faster, financing is necessary! And listing is the best way!

With the help of Sequoia Capital, AOL's request to list on the Nasdaq was quickly approved.

Steve Case also began roadshows in major cities across the United States.

Henry had to frown again after hearing the news.

This time, AOL took advantage of the loopholes and even went public. After the listing, wouldn’t it be more difficult to deal with? ! (Click, favorite and vote, triple-click, the only one!)
