When Google's founders planned to sell the search algorithm to Yahoo, Yahoo said no, you use it yourself!

Google and Microsoft, that's a pair of dead pairs, both of whom are famous for searching. B ut Google's search engine has been firmly in the top position, no matter how hard Yahoo efforts, or can not catch up with Google search. M ost of Google's traffic comes from search, and most of Google's revenue comes from search ads. I n fact, Yahoo had a chance to take the top spot in the search, but he missed it. Google's founders planned to sell the search algorithm to Yahoo, but Yahoo said no.

When Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin invented a search algorithm, he found Yahoo and wanted to sell it for $500,000. B ut Yahoo refused, saying it wasn't worth the $500,000 because he already had a portal to search for and didn't need anything else. A nd he thinks Google's search is really good, so why don't you use it yourself? B ecause Yahoo doesn't buy its own searches, Google's founders decided to do it themselves. The next thing, I believe we all know.

Yahoo was once a global Internet bully, and at one point in the early 2000s it was valued at $127bn. W hat a record number it is. Y ahoo lost $4.36 billion in 2015. V erizon bought Yahoo in 2016 for $4.83 billion. As an old Internet company, Yahoo's epitaph has been renewed.

Google, by contrast, founded a company called Google in 1998 with a search algorithm that Yahoo disliked. S ince then, the company's search service has been popular with many users. I n early 2016, Google's market capitalisation surpassed Apple's. The technology company with the highest market capitalisation at the time was Google, at $565 billion, while Apple was $539 billion.

Google and Yahoo, two Internet companies, ended up with different fortunes. O ne was acquired, and one was once worth more than Apple. T he two have gone to different fates, and it has to be said that fate really makes fun of people. If Yahoo had bought Google's founder's search algorithm, the world's Internet landscape would not have been reorganed.

Some people say, "Yahoo is the old lion, Google is the tiger of the young, Yahoo lost sooner or later." O thers say that "the world only needs Google", Yahoo will be depressed, the acquisition will be spit. In fact, feng shui rotation is still reasonable, thirty years east of the river thirty years west of the river, the original I look down on you, now I you can not afford to climb.
