Silicon Valley

　　 "Look at these materials first, so that you can understand the company."

　　 Henry smiled, asked Helen Wheeler to sit down, and then handed her an information file.

　　 Helen Wheeler nodded in response, and took the data file over carefully.

Henry saw her sitting there restrained and uneasy, and said: "Your main job in the future is to help me organize daily documents, and then remind me of some important things. By the way, your office is on the right side of my office, and you can call it whenever you want. Here. Well, you go to browse the information first, and we will go out for dinner later."

　　 Helen looked to the right, and there was a small room with exquisite and elegant decoration, separated by glass windows. Hearing Henry telling her to browse the information, he immediately responded, then stood up and prepared to walk over.

　　 "Wait a minute!"

　　Helen stopped suddenly, turned around and asked: "Chairman, what do you want to tell me?"

　　 "This is the mobile phone that the company gave you. You take it first." Henry handed over a "brick" mobile phone, which was Motorola's latest model, for three to four thousand dollars. Henry didn't own a cell phone. It was inconvenient to take this thing out. He couldn't hold it in his pocket, so he had to hold it in his hand all the time. Henry gave his full-time driver a mobile phone, and if someone wanted to contact Henry, he would call the driver. But this is not very convenient. Fortunately, a personal secretary is now hired. If you have something to find yourself, let them call the secretary.

　　 Helen was taken aback. The company’s treatment is so good that he has a mobile phone right after he goes to work!

　　 "Thank you, Chairman."

　　 "Go, get acquainted with the company as soon as possible." Henry finished speaking, looking at the file in his low hand.

　　 This document is the status of the establishment of Global Online. Global Online has begun to take shape. The email development team, website development team, news and entertainment editorial department, plus some other jobs, have recruited a total of 95 people scattered.

　　Henry positioned Global Online etc. as an online service, and what could be better than a portal for online services? AOL simply provides their service functions and has not yet developed into a portal site. In the previous life, AOL and Yahoo were the two largest portals at the time.

　　 Indeed, it’s a bit early to develop a portal at this time. First, there are fewer Internet users, and second, there are fewer websites. But this does not prevent Henry from turning the global online into a portal site. Imagine, compared with a portal website, an ordinary website, who is more prominent, and who is more popular among netizens? There is no doubt that it is the portal site of course.

　　 While making a global online portal site, it also provides various online service functions such as e-mail, which can completely hit AOL!

　　 However, to be a portal website, you need to know which websites have more traffic and are more popular in order to better provide users with the most accurate service. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a software to count the traffic of each website.

Alexa is a website that publishes the world rankings of websites in the previous life. They developed a software AlexaToolbar (Alexa toolbar), which is a tool embedded in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It sends a message to Alexa when the user visits each Web page. Go back to a string of codes and tell Alexa about the information about the browse. The user will see the ranking information of the website he browses among all websites in the world on the toolbar.

　　 Therefore, it is necessary for Global Online to develop a software similar to the Alexa toolbar.

　　 So, before Global Online was officially launched, Henry began to ask them to develop an Alexa software. After Henry talked to Geely Hutt, it was almost half past five. At this moment, most of the company's employees have already left work.

　　 Henry saw that Helen was reading the information seriously, so he walked over and shouted: "Helen, I'm off work, let's have dinner together."

　　 "Chairman, I...I can't eat with you."

"what's happenin?"

　　 "I have to go home to take care of my mother."

　　 Henry suddenly realized how he forgot about it!

　　 "Well, then you go home first."

　　 "Thank you, Chairman." Helen happily said, "Then I'll leave first!"

　　 "Okay. Oh, wait a minute!"

　　 Helen looked at Henry suspiciously.

　　At this time, Henry took out a stack of money from the drawer and handed it to her: "This is the company's advance of one-third of your salary."

　　 "Chairman, thank you so much!!" Helen took the money and couldn't help crying.

Henry smiled and handed you a tissue: "Then you can work hard in the future, don't let the boss down! Come on, wipe your tears quickly, or be seen by others. He will say I'm'bully' the newcomer Secretary!"

　　 "Thank you, Chairman!"

　　 "Hurry up and go home, your mother may be in a hurry."

　　 Helen nodded, turned and left, walking lightly, like a cheerful skylark.

　　Henry shook his head and laughed aloud: "Is still an uncle's mentality after all, is there a girl in charge?"

　　...

　　 In the following week, Henry and Helen get along better. Helen is a very hardworking person and works very hard. Although there are sometimes mistakes due to lack of experience, the progress is extraordinary.

　　 Henry learned from her conversation that her father abandoned his wife and daughter in the early years and didn't know where he went. His mother worked hard to raise her, and finally got a serious illness and stayed in bed all day long. Henry gave her an advance salary of three thousand dollars, which was basically spent on the cost of medical treatment. She didn't buy new clothes, cosmetics, or high heels. She was as pure as a Cinderella in the country, just like Henry first saw her.

　　 It's just that Helen has a lot of smiles on her face now, and she is also more confident!

　　 The end of 1987 is almost here, and the company has to pay taxes again. Henry thought about Helen's mother, and then thought about the tax avoidance of charity in the United States. I thought: Charity is better than paying taxes! Doing charity not only avoids taxes, but also gains fame, which has a great effect on improving the corporate image!

　　 Then Henry asked Cisco to set up a charity fund. Although the annual financial statements have not yet been released, Henry probably estimated that Cisco’s sales this year exceeded 100 million US dollars and must pay a lot of taxes. Henry discussed with the Posacks and only notified Sequoia Capital. Regardless of whether they agreed or not, they established the Cisco Charity Foundation. Subsequently, Cisco donated 10 million US dollars into it.

　　 Henry pushed the boat along the river and listed Helen's mother as the first charity object. For Henry, helping Helen's mother is a trivial matter, but for the Helen family, it is a great favor!

　　 One day, Helen cried and ran to Henry's office. Henry saw her pear blossoms with rain, was stunned, and quickly asked: "Why are you crying?"

"Chairman, my mother got help from a certain charity fund. I was so happy that I cried." Helen said excitedly. The documents Henry gave him were only the information of the Nicholas Group Company and Henry's other industries. She hasn't touched it yet, but she will touch it soon!

　　 "Okay, since you are happy, you should smile more. Prepare yourself and call Jili Hutt for me in."

　　 "Okay, Chairman."

　　 It didn't take long for Gili Hutt to come.

　　 Helen served a cup of coffee to Geely Hutt, and Geely Hutmin took a sip and said with a smile: "Miss Helen’s skill in making coffee has increased every day."

　　 Helen flushed, and quickly stepped back.

　　 Henry shook his head speechlessly. This Geely Hutt always likes to joke.

　　 "Geely, when will Global Online be officially launched?"

　　 Gilly Hutt said: "It is expected to be on January 1st next year."

　　 Henry calculated, it is now November, which is just over a month. Subsequently, Henry and Geely Hutt discussed some specific problems encountered and the direction of future development.

　　 In the afternoon, Henry's office phone rang. This was a call from Bob Gallagher. For Noah's Ark Company, Henry is managed by herding sheep, regardless of the company's CEO Bob Gallacher. As for the company's specific details, Henry does not know much about it. After so long, there should be good news for the development of web servers.

　　 Henry was a little excited in his heart, and quickly connected to the phone, and Bob Gallagher’s vigorous voice with a hint of excitement came from the other end of the phone!

　　 "Chairman, we have developed a web server!!!"

　　 "Very good! You did a very good job!" Henry praised, "Well, I will go over now, I want to witness the world's first web server with my own eyes!"

"Ok!"

　　Henry hung up the phone, and then yelled to Helen's office, "Helen, let's go out now."

　　 "Okay, Chairman, I'll come right away!"

　　 After more than an hour in the car, he rushed to Noah's Ark Company. Bob Gallaher and some company management have been outside to greet Henry.

　　 "Welcome to the chairman!"

　　 Henry nodded, and then under the leadership of Bob Gallagher, he visited the web server in the laboratory. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

　　 This web server is a minicomputer, and the individual is much larger than an ordinary computer. The Unix system is used, and the processor is Intel’s 16-bit processor 8086. The appearance of the server is rack-mounted. As for the blade server, it cannot be used for the time being due to the lack of technology. Henry gradually learned about the relevant functions of this web server under the preparation and explanation of the staff.

Firstly, the reliability is greatly enhanced. The website that uses the web server will not easily crash; secondly, it is easier to manage the website in the background through the web server; finally, it also has a certain degree of "scalability", such as a web server that cannot support the website. Huge traffic, you can add a new web server to divide the pressure!

　　 This server is quite mature and can be introduced to the market.

　　 Henry was very satisfied, praised everyone on the spot, and then named the server.

　　 "Just call it Web Ark One!"

　　 So, the name of the world's first web server was born, and it was called Web Ark One! !

　　 In the evening, Henry entertained everyone to eat at the most expensive hotel in the area.

　　 After the web server came out, the first user was the Nicholas Group Company. As the major shareholder of Noah's Ark, the price for Nicholas to purchase the server was naturally the internal price. Bob Gallagher suggested that each web server sell for $100,000, the internal price is 60,000, and the cost is 50,000. Nicholas Group bought forty units in one go. Cisco bought it too, but they needed less and only bought five! (Please help vote...)
