Who is the founder of Google?

Not long ago, Forbes, a famous American financial magazine, officially published the latest American rich list. In this ranking of 400 American billionaires, some new faces have attracted worldwide attention, including sergey brin, the founder of Google. Sergey brin is only 30 years old. The Moscow-born immigrant became the youngest person on the American 400 Rich List. He and another Google founder, Larry Page, ranked 43rd with a value of $4 billion. For this geek who just turned 30, success is too easy. Russian media born in Moscow pay more attention to sergey brin. According to the latest issue of Moscow News, if the world-famous Nobel Prize has an IT prize, this young man with a trademark smile on his face is destined to be the most competitive candidate for the prize. Google, which he founded, has become an important way for people to use the Internet, leaving everyone one click away from the answers to many questions. Google was as popular around the world as the Beatles at that time. Sergey brin was born into a Jewish family in the former Soviet Union. At the age of five, Brin immigrated to the United States with his parents, which began his American success. His father Michael is a mathematician. He worked in the former Soviet Planning Commission and taught in a school in Moscow. Prodigy-The first grade of primary school submits the design scheme of computer printout to the teacher. After coming to the United States, his father Michael got a teaching position at the University of Maryland, where he is still a professor of mathematics until now. Brin's mother is an expert at NASA University. In fact, Brin's grandfather is also a math professor. Influenced by his family, Brin's mathematical genius began to show at a very young age, and he also became interested in electronics. As early as the first grade of primary school, Brin submitted a design scheme about computer printout to the teacher, which surprised the teacher. You know, computers are just beginning to appear in ordinary American families. After graduating from high school, Brin entered the University of Maryland to study mathematics. His father, Michael, hopes that he can follow in his footsteps and walk well on the road of mathematics. Michael told the media: "I left the former Soviet Union for my own reasons, mainly considering Brin's future. I didn't expect Brin to become an industrial tycoon at that time. I only hope that he can get his doctorate smoothly and eventually become a useful person to society. Of course, it is best to be a professor like me. " However, Brin did not develop according to his father's plan. Because of his outstanding achievements, Brin won a scholarship after receiving a bachelor of science degree and then entered Stanford University. At Stanford University, this talented student was once again favored by fate, and the school allowed him to study directly for a doctorate in computer science without a master's degree. However, Brin chose to drop out of school while studying for his Ph.D. at Stanford University, and together with his classmate Larry Page, he founded the well-known Internet search engine Google. Entrepreneurship-Inventing the Search System in Hypertext Language Format Brin and Page, 24, founded Google in a friend's garage. Brin was deeply attracted by the charm of the Internet, and he regarded the Internet as the only way to the future. As early as in college, Brin had invented the search system in hypertext language format. 1998 In September, 24-year-old Brin and 25-year-old Page decided to set up a company in partnership, and the only service provided by the company was a search engine. Knowing nothing about the business plan, Brin successfully obtained the first investment of a Stanford alumnus: 654.38 million+US dollars. Relying on this $654.38 million+fund, Brin and Page started the journey of Google in a friend's garage. When the company was founded, apart from Brin and Page, there was only one employee-Craig Silverstone-who is now the technical director of Google. Their efforts soon paid off: at that time, Google had 65,438 438+ 10/00000 searches every day and began to attract media attention. In the middle of 1999, two more venture capitalists injected $25 million into Google, which helped Google enter a brand-new development stage. It can be said that Google's success stems from the imagination and talent of its founders Brin and Page. When Google was founded, the industry's understanding of the Internet search function was that the higher the frequency of a keyword in a document, the more prominent the position of the document in the search results. On the other hand, Brin has another view. He believes that the factors that determine the ranking position of a document in search results are the frequency of a document appearing in other web pages and the credibility of these web pages, while the popularity and quality of web pages among the audience are the decisive factors. It turns out that Brin is right. Innovation-not only created strange search engine technology, but also auctioned Google when it went public, thus completing "cleaning Wall Street". When Google's competitors are committed to becoming portals and don't invest much in search services, Brin does the opposite and tries his best to improve its search engine. The usage rate of Google is getting higher and higher, and the daily search volume has increased from 1 000 six years ago to 300 million times at present. Many advertisers ask to advertise on Google's web page. At the same time, many large companies and government agencies, such as Yahoo, Procter & Gamble, and the US Department of Energy, have also used Google's search technology, and Google charges license fees according to the number of searches. As a technical genius, Brin has no shortage of business talents. In August this year, Brin, Page and their team began to create their own wealth myth. They not only created strange search engine technology, but also tried to innovate in Google's listing. They set the IPO (initial public offering) price by auction, which was called "cleaning Wall Street" by American media, and two new billionaires were born. Life-advocating a limited rich life, it is difficult to give up feelings for Russia. Although he has become the youngest billionaire in the United States, Brin advocates a limited rich life and still maintains a frugal nature, just like ordinary people. It is said that he also rents a two-bedroom house and drives a 5-seat hybrid Toyota Prius, which is worth about $20,000. Although Brin grew up to be the leader of the new American economy, he still retained many Russian characteristics. Brin often appears in several famous Russian restaurants in San Francisco, USA. He also likes to invite colleagues and journalists to taste traditional Russian pudding, Luo Songtang and caviar pancakes. It is difficult for Brin to give up his affection for Russia, because his parents cultivated his talent for mathematics. Keep a relaxed environment and let employees treat their work as a "free lunch" for Brin. Brin has his own unique method on how to make geniuses work more comfortably in the company. Although there is a famous saying in the west: there is no such thing as a free lunch. However, in Google, Brin regards "free" as a part of the company's culture and meticulously implements it: employees' meals, fitness, massage, laundry, bathing and medical treatment are all 100% free; The worst computer monitors given to employees by the company are 17 inch LCD monitors; There is a coffee shop on each floor, where you can make coffee and eat snacks at any time. There are all kinds of drinks in the big refrigerator for free. Brin also allows employees to bring children and pets to work, which is incredible in many American companies. In addition, any important employee of the company has his own independent office, and each office can be decorated according to his own wishes. Equality is equally important in this company full of freedom and individuality. As one of the founders and the soul of the company, Brin's office is not much different from others, but the location is slightly better. Although Brin hasn't finished his doctorate, he is very inclined to recruit people with a doctorate. Among Google's 2,000 employees, more than 100 have doctorates. In addition to the best technology and the smartest employees, Brin also requires the company to have ideas that are ahead of the times. He made an unwritten rule for Google employees: engineers must spend a quarter of their time thinking about great ideas, even if they may damage the company's financial prospects. In order to encourage innovation, Brin allows employees to spend 20% of their time in any job they are interested in, but the research results must be sold to the company. A technical competition of employees' innovation ability is held once a year, and the bonus is $65,438+00,000 cash.
