"Of course not. Those two companies are already crowded with WASP bosses on Wall Street. Besides..." Rowan showed a mysterious smile, "These two companies are at best niche market companies in the Internet .0 era. Since we want to do it, of course we have to go into the mainstream market!"
"Mainstream..." Sheryl Sandberg thought for a moment. "According to what you said, all information in the .0 era will become fragmented and segmented. Is there still a so-called mainstream?"
Rowan laughed: "Of course! Think about it, as time goes by, there will be more and more information on the Internet. So how can people find and distinguish such a huge amount of information?"
"Search? Oh, you mean a business that provides information indexes like the Yellow Pages!" Sheryl Sandberg hit the nail on the head.
"Yes, this is what this information index is - web search!" Rowan raised his finger and said with a smile, "I also call it a search engine! It can aggregate all the information on the Internet, and then let users enter keywords to find the website they want. It's like looking for a phone number in alphabetical order. It's just freer and more convenient.
"This is indeed the most mainstream and kingly business." Sheryl Sandberg became slightly excited when she said this. "Do you have any plans in this regard, Rowan?"
"Haha, turn to page seven. Here are some Silicon Valley companies that I asked someone to collect that are similar to our vision."
Sheryl Sandberg then looked through the information and found that many emerging small businesses in Silicon Valley were already trying this.
"Because what determines the success or failure of a search engine are its algorithms and mathematical models, and the resulting search accuracy and website rankings, what I am most optimistic about is a project by two graduate students at Stanford University next to Silicon Valley," Rowan said with a smile.
Sheryl Sandberg turned to the corresponding page, and it clearly read "Google Project! Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin." The information above was obviously more technical, but Sheryl Sandberg quickly understood it. It mainly showed that the two young men named Larry Page and Sergey Brin were much more advanced in Internet search algorithms than small companies in Silicon Valley at the same time.
"So we're going to buy this Google?" Sheryl Sandberg asked, closing the document.
"Of course we have to acquire them, but how could anyone with big ambitions hand over their shares so easily?" Rowan smiled. Later, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two good friends, teamed up to play with Sequoia Capital, the invincible wolves in the venture capital circle. How could such talented and smart people be fooled so easily?
"I have already invested in Google, ter meeting the two founders I promised to invest $30 million dollars in 3 parts for the total of 30% of Google's shares. I also promised them that I won't ask for any more shares and even if I made more investments in the future it will be to make sure that they don't get cheated by those wall streets wolfs." Rowan stated
"How? How did you do it?" Sheryl asked in surprise
"I found them just as they started their business in a garage so you can say that I was the first person to believe in their dreams moreover I myself am quite tech savvy so it's easier for them to trust me." Rowan explained
"So you just told them that you believe in their dreams and talked about internet the same way you talked with me and they gave you 30% of their shares." Sheryl said
"Of course not I told them about the websites I created and how I developed them only ftee that they believed me." Rowan stated
"What websites? You have created website's " Sheryl exclaimed in surprise
"That's what I was going to talk about next. Rotten Tomatoes and Reddit these are the two websites I created last year.
Rotten Tomatoes is an American review-aggregation website for film and television. While Reddit is a proprietary social news aggregation and forum social media platform. Registered users submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subreddits". Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page." Rowan stated
"Reddit is your creation it created a lot of problems for President Clinton and his Zipper incident" Sheryl stated with a smile on her face, "And this Rotten Tomatoes I have heard about it too it's like IMBD but different right."
"Yes while in IMBD anyone can go and vote, Rotten Tomatoes is different. Rotten Tomatoes staff collect reviews from writers who are certified members of various writing guilds or film critic-associations. To be accepted as a critic on the website, a critic's original reviews must garner a specific number of "likes" from users. Those classified as "Top Critics" generally write for major newspapers. The critics upload their reviews to the movie page on the website, and need to mark their review "fresh" if it is generally favorable or "rotten" otherwise. It is necessary for the critic to do so as some reviews are qualitative and do not grant a numeric score, making it impossible for the system to be automatic. My three college classmates from USC Senh Duong, Patrick Y. Lee, and Stephen Wang these three handle Rotten Tomatoes for me since December last year." Rowan explained
Sheryl nooded and asked "Is there any other websites you created that I should know about "
"Well it's nothing much but last month I did create another website. It's called Facebook it's a social media and social networking service. I hired my classmates to spread it among the students USC and UCLA after which it will be spread to all the colleges in America when it's schemes I will release it to the world and anyone above 14 would be able to create an account on it " Rowan stated
"What is this 'Facebook' exactly? You say it's a social media and social networking site" Sheryl asked
"A "face book" is a student directory featuring photos and personal information. Facebook posts can have an unlimited number of characters, with images and videos though it will take a long time for the last part to become real. Users can "friend" users, both sides must agree to being friends. Posts can be changed to be seen by everyone (public), friends, people in a certain group (group) or by selected friends (private). Users can join groups. Groups are composed of persons with shared interests. For example, they might go to the same sporting club, live in the same suburb, have the same breed of pet or share a hobby. Posts posted in a group can be seen only by those in a group, unless set to public." Rowan explained
"This- This is big how did you even think of that?" Sheryl asked in surprise.
"Well what can I say I am genius. Anyway as you guessed Facebook will be my way of Intelligent revolution and for it to grow I need you but since it's not that big now, you can help me with the Hollywood side of things for me as I haven't found anyone good enough to take over." Rowan stated
Sheryl Sandberg's ability to manage large organizations, combined with Rowan's strategic ability to foresee the future, will surely bring about a complete transformation of the Stark Group.
Rowan also announced within Stark the decision to appoint Sheryl (Sandberg) as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Stark Group. Taking this opportunity, and combining Sheryl (Sandberg)'s opinions, he established a new system for Stark group - its subsidiaries.
