Chapter 35
New opportunities
One of the most important concepts of classmate.com is probably ‘miss’. People look back at past academic times, or past times, and yearn for and try to remember the past itself or the person at that time. It is a pitiful yearning for the forgotten.
Classmate.com began increasing more and more users slowly in October, and then suddenly more and more visitors started to increase. Now, the threshold to December has already exceeded 6 million subscribers.
As the year progresses, people look back on the past. Thinking about when you first start and sometimes regretting, regretting or missing, November and December are such seasons.
‘Huh. This website is also seasonal. ”The sky helps me. If it were March or April, it would never have been so hard to reach 6 million subscribers in such a short time.
In the north-eastern part of the four seasons, the cold October wind drives people, and those in the warmer parts of the south-central region look back at the pressure of the November and December letters on the calendar.
With this momentum, Maiway, who was on the side of the bridge, jumped over Classmate.com. These two sites help each other grow like snowflakes by themselves, and I think that’s what he said about me.
“Ms. Grant, I got a call from America online.” Mr. Crimson came to report to me.
“No, what kind of business do you have there?” It has nothing to do with my memory, but I ask just in case.
“No, not so far. By the way, he wants to see you over there. He wants to partner with a business. ”
“Hm. Do you know what it says? But you have to know the basics before you meet them. ”
“I don’t talk about specifics, but I think I want to connect my friend Finder and Myway to their service. ”
Oh, look at this. I’m sitting quietly, and I’m bringing you food. ’
No matter how hard you roll your head, there’s nothing to lose. It would be a great advantage for America to partner with many of our services online. This smells like money…
“Make an appointment. Let’s go to the company once. I want to be specific when I get here. ”
“Very well. I’ll schedule a detailed meeting and let you know. ”
After Mr. Crimson left the room, I thought:
“You have some money online in America. What kind of alliance do you want? Combined with Myway and Friend Services, there are almost 10 million subscribers, and you’re not thinking about money, are you? How much better… ’
I feel like this is going to come in big money all of a sudden, so I smile.
“Ms. Grant, are you having a good time?” I can’t control my satisfaction, so I’m walking around the office, and I come out, and Eva asks.
“Oh, there’s something like that. Hehe said,” I had a feeling that a bundle of money would roll in and a smile would come out on my face.
“If you want something for lunch, buy it and charge it. I’ll shoot.” I used my heart to be so generous.
“Oh, really? But I’m the only one here. You should come with me. ”
“Really? Well, think about it. Come with me when it’s time. ”
I promised Eva lunch and went downstairs.
I suddenly wondered how things were going at Google, but I heard that adding artificial intelligence to the search function was quite a success. If we get this right, it’s going to be a really unique search engine, and then we’re going to blow up a big one, of course.
“Huh? What’s all this?” I went downstairs to the table with Sergey, and there were dozens of boxes, and the desk was a little messed up.
“Yes? Yes. Sergey and Larry need to clear out the school office, so I brought them over, and they’re being cleaned up now. ”
Sergey and Larry are nowhere to be seen, and an employee nearby explains instead.
I was just going to go, but I wanted to check out what kind of data was so messy.
I heard that the laboratory that’s been there for the past few years has told me to empty it because it doesn’t use it well anymore, but it must have been wiped out and brought it back. Come on, you don’t have to put it in there, there’s an office this big.
I pulled something out of it without a thought, but it looks like a newspaper article.
‘Ah This looks like the knight that Sergey mentioned back then, Robin Li. ’
When I read it carefully, I printed a short article on the Internet about the ranking system developed by Robin Lee, which was already a few years ago.
I heard that he was shocked by his search technology and started developing Google. I think he printed it at that time.
Wait, what is this guy doing right now? I haven’t heard anything in particular. ’
I suddenly wondered what Robin was doing. I’ve developed something exceptional so early, I’ve never read a newspaper or an article anywhere.
I went to the computer and opened the Google homepage. Hmm. Let’s do a search.
I type “Robin Lee” as the search term, and I get the Robin I’m looking for, but there’s no recent activity. I went to other search engines, just in case, and I couldn’t find anything special anywhere.
I’m starting to get a little curious.
‘A talent like this won’t just stand by…’ The guy who invented something like this so early won’t be sleeping away from home. Is this guy getting ready to blow something up?
I feel like I’m whispering to get one step ahead of my instincts. I can smell it.
“Mr. Crimson, I need you to find out about a man named Robin Lee. Yes, where and what you’re doing. Oh, it’s not personal, it’s official. ”
I called Mr. Crimson right away and asked him to find out where he was and what he was doing. Again, it’s easy to ask someone else to do their job.
I’ll hire a detective or hire a company or something. You don’t have to worry about it, you don’t have to know. If you want to spend enough money to find out, and if it’s too hard or too much information, you have to report it yourself.

“Yes, Ms. Grant, that Robin Lee you mentioned is here in Silicon Valley right now. Do you want me to email you the report? ”
It hasn’t been more than a few days, and the report is already ready.
‘Hehe. I didn’t even know I had this in front of me. ’
When I opened the report, Robin Lee is just a few miles from Yahoo’s building and works for a search engine company called Infoseek.
Infosyk is a search specialist founded by Steve Kirsch in ’94 and a few months ahead of Yahoo. Last year, however, Disney acquired the company and incorporated it into a place called Go.com.
Robin Lee is currently chief engineer there.
‘He develops a website ranking system, patents it, and still goes to work normally. On the other hand, that’s a pity. ’
I got my name a lot earlier than I did, but seeing that I’m still doing that, I should be lucky, even though this is important. Oh, of course you have the guts.
It’s too bad we let him go. And I wanted to meet the frog who was crouching to jump far away. My gut says, “Stab me. Stab me, if you know what I mean! ’I’m saying, this feels right to me.
“Hello, yes. My name is John Kim. ”
I made a phone call myself, as I recall. Don’t hesitate to do this. Given the detailed information in the report, from the phone number to the house where you live, the company that recognized this is also useful.
“Yes, can I see you outside? That’s downtown. Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow. ”
Robin seems a little vigilant at first, since I called. However, as soon as he said he was running an investment company, he let it go.
Come on, meeting me is not a loss to you, and I said I’d buy you dinner, so there’s no reason to hesitate.
‘Let’s meet and get lucky.’ I slowly thought about what to say.
I made a reservation for the restaurant Richard first called me to. It’s new that I’m in a position to call someone in. Is this the second time already?
“Yes, nice to meet you. John Kim,” Robin Lee showed up just in time.
“Ah, you called. I’m Robin Lee.”
We said hello and started talking lightly.
“Here, here’s my business card. You panicked when you asked me to meet you. ”
“Thank you. Johnston Group? There’s an investment bank, huh? John’s moving from Expedia? No, Myway and Classmate.com from Johnston Group?!” Robin is surprised to see the companies on the back of my business card. I think I can feel more skin because the names I know are written on it.
When I heard the story, I initially thought that an investment company was interested in him. I guess I just thought I was an investment banker.
“Yes, that’s right. I used to run a company called OneClickTrip, and I handed it over to Microsoft. You know, that’s Expedia now. And then we set up an investment bank. ”
“Oh, you’re amazing. I understand you’ve developed a search engine. I knew the name because it was the same field, but I never imagined it would be the same person. ”
He recognizes me and recognizes me purely. Haha.
“What happened to Myway and Classmate.com? Are you running this, too?”
Robin stares at me with a surprised look on his face.
“Haha. Yeah, that got me running somehow. I was lucky.”
Robin can’t keep his mouth shut when he hears me. Yeah, I’d be honored. Heheheh.
Robin knew a little about me. I guess they were in the same lineage, so they just don’t know each other very well, but famous people know each other somewhat. Seeing similar interests, the story flowed easily.
“Yes, Sergey and Larry were shocked to see Robin’s ranking system. So I started from scratch and developed a search engine called Google.”
“Really? I had a huge impact on someone without even knowing it. Haha.” Robin laughed a lot when I explained how Google was built, but it felt strangely bitter.
Perhaps, people who started later than themselves rather felt a little bit of self-esteem about getting ahead.
“Robin!” I suddenly changed the mood when I was discussing interests such as Google and Robin Lee’s project. Speaking quietly, transforming dramatically. That is the way of an agitator, a negotiator.
“Yes?!” Robin drifts into my rocky atmosphere.
“Would you like to work with me? Robin is a very promising man. You’re earning enough money at work right now, but how long will you keep working for others like that? ”
I feel a bit stumped by my sudden offer. Ah, I’m sure you’ve been thinking a little, but I’m surprised to hear from you.
It’s funny to say, but I have a bit of a reputation, and the companies printed on my business cards are well-known companies. My words of success must be reaching out greatly to Robin.
“Thank you. I’ll think positive about it. It’s so sudden…” Robin shuns the answer for a long time.
I’m like, “Yeah. I don’t expect an answer.” I also have an administration.
On the way back from throwing bread at Robin, I realized that Robin was from China.
‘I’m an international student from China. Hmm. By the way, it sounds a little awkward. I guess it wasn’t easy being an undergraduate either.’ Come to think of it, Silicon Valley was also a nationality. Robin was still Chinese and had a strong accent because he graduated from university and studied abroad.
Perhaps it will be an obstacle to establishing a natural business or relationship. Ah, of course, not if it’s a special relationship or something. If words are not natural, emotional interaction is not easy.
“China. China.” There’s a lot of opportunities in emerging markets that aren’t in order. I have to go to Russia, China or South America to get some bad money. This is hitting my gut again…
Artwork Reviews
What I’ve mentioned a lot about Russia is kind of like Paste Bait. The next article probably leads to “Russia Central Asia Nation Europe Egypt,” where the main character starts in Kipchark Korea, an old Russian region. Of course, it’s also important for Ildo in this article.
Russia will be ruled for 250 years by the Ulus of Jochi or Golden Horde, founded by Genghis Khan’s son Batu. The history includes an uncomfortable history dominated by Mongolia. When I did my research, I was married to a lot of Mongol nobles and Russian royalty.
And there was a guy in Russia who said that there was a lot of racism, and some of the records made sense that Russians hated Asians. Mongols were cruel at the time. He was taken prisoner because he didn’t listen to the Russian royal family, and he was beaten to death by Khan himself.
