Inside the demonstration hall, Larry Page, as the main presenter, personally demonstrated the Google search engine to Kyle.
"Our Google search engine is a search engine that precisely analyzes the relationships between websites, and can retrieve information based on keywords.
The accuracy of our search engine is superior to the basic search technologies currently used in the market.
This project is called BackRub because the system checks backlinks to assess the importance of a site."
"Keywords are one of our greatest innovations!"
"It can absolutely enrich the current market and win users and market share with efficient and concise operations."
"We emphasize the text description and quality of links.
The text description of a link is the text used to create the link, and this text plays a certain role in Google's ranking.
Therefore, we recommend that if a website wants to rank for certain keywords, these keywords should be used when exchanging links to point to your site.
The quality of a link is related to the authority of the linking website and its relevance to your site.
The higher the authority, the better the ranking your site will receive."
"This is our profit model!"
"We charge businesses and advertisers through a bidding system based on keywords."
"At the same time, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol..."
Larry Page passionately demonstrated, excitedly waving his arms, and even using inflected pronunciation, filling the entire venue with a unique charm.
Sergey Brin, also one of the creators of the Google search engine, constantly added to the presentation from the side.
Cech, as a member of Kyle's assistant team, although specializing in economic management analysis, also held a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, enabling him to clearly distinguish the impressive technology of Larry Page and the other two in the internet field.
"That's pretty good."
Kevin Feige, Vice President of Page Pictures, also took the time to listen in.
"Boss, I can't say how much this Google search engine will profit in the future, but if this patented technology is really as they say, then it's a bit powerful!"
A bit powerful?
Can't say how much profit?
Kyle immediately rolled his eyes at Kevin Feige.
"The great Google, with a future market value of nearly a trillion US dollars,
and you say the profit is unknown?
Buddy, with your judgment, you should just stick to making movies in the future; the internet isn't for you."
Kyle thought to himself.
In the original timeline, Google was founded in 1998, and within just a few months, it was processing 200 million searches per day.
In June 1999, investment banks like Sequlia Capital valued Google at 80 million US dollars, and invested 25 million US dollars with significant capital.
A truly grand gesture!
In 2000, under Page's leadership, Yahoo chose Google as its default search results provider.
Since then, Google has developed into the world's largest internet search engine.
Its rapid rise was another internet miracle!
And it's important to remember that this was during the dot-com bubble burst, yet even under such circumstances, Google still rose strongly, its brilliance undeniable!
"Gentlemen, at Google, we also place immense importance on descriptions, and regarding the issue of secondary repetition in search results, we employ..."
Did Kyle understand Larry Page's description?
Not a damn thing!
Kyle was in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and his understanding of technology was limited to its application.
How much could he know about theoretical technology?
In this life, although Kyle had made up for a lot of knowledge and enrolled in several training courses, the focus was limited to entertainment industry management and corporate management.
"Computer theory, goodbye!!!"
Transmigrators aren't omnipotent, especially for Kyle, who came from humble beginnings; it was undoubtedly gibberish to him!
But what if he didn't understand?
"I just need to know that Google will be awesome in the future.
Making money is my goal, and stealing the fruits of others' labor will give me a great sense of accomplishment.
As for theoretical computer knowledge, heh heh~~"
Under the demonstration of Larry Page and others, Kyle nodded frequently.
He pretended to understand even when he didn't!
"I can't let my reputation as a senior in the internet field be ruined like this," Kyle encouraged himself.
Kevin Feige looked at Kyle, who was nodding frequently, and curiously asked, "Boss, I'm a bit lost.
You actually understand all of this?!"
"Of course!"
Kyle said unceremoniously, "Kevin, you still have a lot to learn.
Learn from me.
Otherwise, why would I have been able to create LinkedIn?!"
"Yes, boss!"
Kevin Feige's expression immediately became serious.
Boss is awesome!!!
Boss is mighty!!!
...Several days later.
Kyle and Google's two major shareholders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, formally signed an agreement regarding Kyle's investment in Google, witnessed by a group of lawyers.
Kyle paid 1 million US dollars in a lump sum, acquiring a 30% stake in Google.
Larry Page's shares decreased from 51% to 36%;
Sergey Brin's shares decreased from 49% to 34%.
In fact, given Kyle's greed, he wished he could have taken 90% of Google's shares, as no one understood Google's future awesomeness better than Kyle.
However, although Larry and Sergey were quite naive at this time, they were unwilling to give up Google's controlling stake and management rights.
30% of Google's shares was already the maximum share Kyle could secure!
Larry and Sergey, though a bit naive, were definitely not foolish.
Moreover, as IT geeks, they could sometimes be very stubborn, the kind who would rather die than give up control of Google at that moment.
What could Kyle do?
Naturally, compromise!
"30% of the shares isn't a small amount.
You know, Sequila Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, two investment banks, paid 25 million US dollars for 31% of Google's shares a few months later."
Kyle secretly comforted himself.
Furthermore, in Google's subsequent A, B, and C rounds of equity expansion, Kyle intended to continue investing, ensuring a certain proportion of shares even if his stake was diluted.
It's worth noting that by 2020, the largest shareholder, Larry Page, held only 5.8% of the shares; even so, those were stocks worth tens of billions of US dollars.
In the future, share dilution was inevitable!
Any large listed company in America needs to rally allies to strengthen its power, otherwise, it absolutely cannot compete with newly emerging companies.
"Listed company?"
"Heh heh, I certainly don't plan to list Page Pictures!"
Kyle thought to himself.
Kyle was not short of money, and would not be in the future.
Page Pictures, as Kyle's big toy, he didn't want too many people to meddle with it...
On this day, approaching Christmas.
Kyle was bored at home and secretly worked on a few more movie scripts.
Considering Page Pictures' current tight financial situation, the scripts Kyle chose were almost all low-budget films, none with a production cost exceeding 10 million US dollars.
