The importance of search engines goes without saying.

How to quickly and accurately find the information you want among the vast and complicated information on the Internet depends entirely on search engines.

In their previous lives, Dubai and Google relied on this to become famous, seize the market, and make money.

Technically speaking, developing a search engine is not easy. It requires engine framework, algorithms and other technical requirements, and it also takes a lot of time to write.

In addition to requiring a lot of money for research and development, all this also requires a lot of time.

Take the time to develop the search engine.

It takes more time to cultivate users’ usage habits.

This is the most important.

Because only by making users accustomed to using a search engine can we capture the market.

Just like Penguin Q in the previous life, users are used to it and will rarely change it, so it will be very difficult to enter similar software.

The same is true for Google. People are accustomed to using Google to search and basically won't switch to other search engines. Only then do they firmly occupy the market.

Obviously, the rise of Huya in the previous life was not accidental.

Because Yang Zhiyuan had such foresight at this time.

A far-sighted realization of the importance of search engines, a far-sighted decision to develop it early, cultivate users' usage habits, and then firmly occupy the market.

And in all of this, besides funds, the most important thing is time.

After all, there are many smart people in the world. If Yang Zhiyuan can realize the importance of search engines to the Internet, others can also discover it.

Once other search engines appear, it will be time to compete for technology and funding.

But as long as you are one step ahead, you will always have an advantage.

So Xia Yang already agreed with Yang Zhiyuan's plan and invested money in him to develop a search engine.

Of course, Yang Zhiyuan didn't know what Xia Yang was thinking. After he told him his plan, he sat on the sofa a little restless, nervously waiting for Xia Yang's reply or the verdict.

Because Yang Zhiyuan knew very well that even though Xu Xincheng was his senior, if the Huya website he founded had not received investment from Xia Yang's Xueli Company, how could Xu Xincheng personally take him there.

Don’t be surprised, reality is so cruel, only valuable people will be looked upon with high regard, whereas if they are ants on the ground, no one will take a second look at them.

Xu Xincheng was equally nervous. He didn't understand the Internet, but he understood people. If Xia Yang was optimistic about Yang Zhiyuan's search engine plan.

This proves that the search engine proposed by Yang Zhiyuan will definitely have great prospects in the future and will definitely make a lot of money.

Then I will get closer to this junior student Yang Zhiyuan more in the future, and it will not be in vain to help him.

Li Shuting is a calm one, because she has been with Xia Yang for a long time, and she knows through Xia Yang's slight expression that Xia Yang has agreed to Yang Zhiyuan's plan.

"Tell me what you think. Your small website has just been established, but why did you suddenly come up with the idea of ​​developing a search engine?"

Under the nervous anticipation of Yang Zhiyuan and Xu Xincheng, Xia Yang finally spoke.

Xia Yang did not refuse on the spot.

Feeling that there was something going on, Yang Zhiyuan forgot his nervousness and became excited, "Xia is always like this. In my imagination, the Internet in the future will be a super huge library, which contains all kinds of knowledge and information, including what we need and what we need."

We don’t need it.”

"So if you want to find the knowledge and information you want quickly and efficiently, you need a search engine, which is similar to a library's index bookmarks, but more efficient and faster. You can quickly find the information you want and save a lot of time.

!”

"This is my idea. Of course, I have many classmates who have similar ideas, but they are limited by funds and have no ability to realize them."

In the end, I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Yang Zhiyuan mentioned that the idea of ​​search engines is not unique to him.

Xia Yang prefers the former, and Yang Zhiyuan is putting pressure on him.

But this little calculation is just right, otherwise it would be worth his investment.

"So do you know how much it costs to develop a search engine?"

Xia Yang asked the second question.

Yang Zhiyuan was speechless. Of course he knew how much it would cost to develop a powerful search engine.

It can range from a few million dollars to tens of millions of dollars.

Even if you want search engines to become faster and more accurate, and to attract and retain customers, they need to be continuously improved and updated.

In this case, the funds required are unimaginable.

Like Google in the previous life, some engineers revealed that Google had two billion lines of code. This was the reason why Google became so brilliant and attracted users around the world to use and like it.

Therefore, it takes a lot of money to develop a search engine. If you want this search engine to be liked by more people, you need more money.

But the problem is that Huya has just been founded and is not worth that much money at all!

Previously, Liu Hua only spent 1 million US dollars to obtain 35% of Huya's shares. In other words, Huya's current value would only be worth 3 million US dollars if it dies.

Obviously, Yang Zhiyuan cannot give up his shares in exchange for Xia Yang's investment, nor can he give up all his shares in Huya in exchange for Xia Yang's investment.

Otherwise, the entire Huya belongs to Xia Yang alone, and nothing would happen without him and David, the two founders.

Xu Xincheng, a good person, saw the dilemma Yang Zhiyuan was facing and made a suggestion with a smile, "Mr.

Zhiyuan is responsible, so forget the shares. If Mr. Xia thinks Zhiyuan is working hard, give him a salary."

Xu Xincheng secretly reminded Yang Zhiyuan again that compared to getting some shares, as long as he can hold on to Xia Yang's thigh, he will make more money than anything else.

Yang Zhiyuan understood, and took a step closer, then expressed his position, "Mr. Xia, I just want to develop a search engine, not to mention shares, I can do it without salary, I just hope that Mr.

, priority is given to use on the Huya website.”

Seeing Xu Xincheng and Yang Zhiyuan singing along, Xia Yang shook his head and laughed, "I'm not that stingy. If you do things for me, I will definitely give you a salary. As for the shares, to be honest, even if I give them to you, you don't dare to ask for them."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because I never like to make small fuss, since I decided to develop a search engine, I must develop the most advanced one, so I plan to invest 50 million US dollars in R&D in the initial stage, and follow-up investment

It’s only a lot more than the initial price, so even if I give you 100% of the shares, you still don’t have Huya.”

Indeed, since he wants to seize the job of Google in the future, how can Xia Yang do it in a small way? He must develop the most advanced search engine in order to face the challenges of Google in the future.

The investment is huge and the benefits involved are even bigger.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to give shares to Yang Zhiyuan.

In fact, Xia Yang originally wanted to wait for Google to appear, then invest and reap the benefits.

It’s just that Yang Zhiyuan mentioned it, so I had to enter the search engine in advance.

Initial investment is US$50 million!

Yang Zhiyuan was completely stunned. After all, he was a giant crocodile, and he made big moves whenever he made a move.

Xu Xincheng was not surprised, but he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. He invested US$50 million in the initial stage, which undoubtedly shows that Xia Yang attaches great importance to search engines.

The search engine was proposed by Yang Zhiyuan, which at least shows that he has a vision and a talent. Now that Xia Yang has adopted Yang Zhiyuan's suggestion and invested in the search engine, he will definitely take care of him in the future.

With Xia Yang's care, Xu Xincheng knew clearly that Yang Zhiyuan's future would definitely be bright.

In this case, his trip was not in vain.

“Mr.

Yang Zhiyuan's tone was sincere.

In fact, he was mentally prepared before he came. Because he had made several investments, a lot of Huya's shares were exchanged. Now he only has 25% of Huya's shares left, and the other founder David is left.

The shares are even less, only 20%.

Originally, Yang Zhiyuan's best plan was to use another 20% of Huya's shares to get Xia Yang to invest in the search engine, but he didn't expect Xia Yang's investment to be so big, and he was not qualified to participate.

With an initial investment of US$50 million, the remaining shares of Huya were not even enough to fill the gap between teeth.

"As long as you understand, but you proposed the search engine after all. In addition to giving you a salary to take charge of this project, I can agree to your request. When the search engine is developed, I will give priority to your Huya

Website use."

"Of course it can't be free. As for the cost, I'll tell you later, but it won't be more expensive than others."

Xia Yang agreed to Yang Zhiyuan's request, and when the search engine is developed, Huya will use it first.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Yang Zhiyuan stood up in a hurry and thanked him happily. He believed that in such a big company as Xia Yang, the salary would not be low.

Of course it won't be low. In Xia Yang's company, the person in charge of a project usually earns an annual salary of at least US$500,000.

Xia Yang smiled and waved his hand to say you're welcome, and then explained to Li Shuting.

"I will leave it to you to follow up on the search engine project. If you have any questions, report them directly to me."

Xia Yang casually handed over the search engine project to Li Shuting.

At the same time, in front of Yang Zhiyuan, he generously found a supervisor for him. Since he was paid, he couldn't be lazy and worked hard to build the search engine.

This made Yang Zhiyuan secretly smile bitterly. It was really hard to get a salary from a big company. People were already looking at him before he even saw the salary.

"Okay, Mr. Xia, where is the company located and what is the company name?"
