Chapitre 9: WAKING UP
Larry Page and Sergey Brin were phd students who studied in Standford University of California.
They started the 'backrub' project in 1996 and derived the 'Google' from it.
With the help of Hassan Scott who wrote the main code of google,they launched the search engine in 1998.
Everything was going well for the three of them.
Even though the first server was made with some cheap computer parts,they made do with it as they knew it was only a matter of time before they earned some big bucks.
But alas their life couldn't go on as planned because of someone.
That someone is Tony Stark.
.....
The Google founders were very happy when they knew that the government was willing to fund them.
They knew it was very hard for them to get the opportunity due to the recent Dot-com bubble.
But that Dot-com bubble was also the reason for them to get the offer as even during this recession period, Google was gaining more users and are steadily increasing.
But their good times didn't last and they were forced to sell the company.
In 1999, they made an offer of 1 million US dollars.Which was reasonable in their opinion as the it could make more profit in due time.
But their offer was rejected.
"Can't he see that Buying Google can be only profitable".
Complained Larry as he thought about the deal.
"He does know that Larry, but even he has to think about the recent dot-com bubble".
Said Brin as they knew Larry was just being frustrated about it.
........
So after this incident they tried to make Google even more popular with various new methods and experiments they had thought of.
Hassan Scott also didn't leave them as he does in the other world.
He was still the main coder for their group.
After a lot of struggle,they heard that the government was ready to fund them.
They were so happy when they saw that their hardwork has paid off.
They even started planning many other things they could do with the resources and funds they would get.
But alas their plans could not be possible as the government changed their decision to fund them.
They couldn't do anything to stop that as they were still a emerging company during this time.
Though they still wanted to know the main reason that the funding why the funding didn't happen.
And all the results showed towards one man.
The Stark industries owner and a 23 young man.
The one and only 'Tony Stark'.
......
During the late 1999, Tony Stark has started building new types of weapons.
The government was very interested to make a deal with the Stark about the weapons.
Even though world wars have ended,new weapons are always welcome for any rising country much less US.
The deal was almost signed when the government representative also added the resources of the Funding plan they had for emerging one's like google and other tech companies.
This would have made some companies thrive during this period and in turn raise their economy.
But they could postpone it for a short time and give the fund to Stark industries.
It was a small loss when compared to the good relations they could have with the Stark industries.
They took this decision because they hear that Tony Stark was making an artificial intelligence.
They didn't need the AI to be a success because it was not their aim to begin with.
Their focus was on the good relationship with the gaint known as STARK.
Due to all the factors, Google and the other emerging companies couldn't get their funds this year.
The funding plan was postponed for the next year.
.
........
This was the time Thomas approached the Google trio.
Larry,Brin and Scoot were in a restaurant as they looked at the old man in a business suit sitting in front of them.
Earlier they got a call about someone willing to buy 'Google'.
So, they decided to come and meet Thomas here as he was already sitting and having his drink.
They quickly went to table reserved for them as they greeted him.
Thomas also greeted them back by shaking hands with each of them.
With all the pleasantries done,they started talking about business they came for.
The talks became more time taking as they all want to get a preliminary idea of the deal before having another round of talks.
Old man Thomas was well knowledgeable and very shrewd as he decreased the price as much as possible.
"Look, as much I want to buy the company,I will not go for more than 6,00,000$".
Said Thomas as he wouldn't rise a penny from that.
The Google trio could only nod their head in defeat as they saw that Thomas was not willing budge anymore.
They cursed this shrewd old guy in front of them for convincing them to sell it for such a low price.
Initially, they thought of not going less than a million dollars but were immediately sour as Thomas listed all the faults and other things due to the loss of funding.Money is needed to improve quality and they lacked that money for now.
Honestly,they wouldn't even consider selling Google again if not for the government funding plan to be postponed for another year.
They could only curse their own luck for their predicament.
Even though they could wait for a year, they couldn't guarantee that they aquire the funding at that time.
So,they decided to sell 'Google' and start new projects with the money they will get from it.
After they came out of the restaurant,Thomas offered them a new project to work on.
"So,I have a project for you to work on if possible...".
Said Thomas about another project he had thought of.
.........
After reminiscing about the deal he had made.He went to his room for resting as he was very lethargic from all the travelling that happened this month.
His old body was already protesting to rest but he had to move around as he is the only one who could.
Clara is a minor and most importantly inexperienced.
And although the plan was made by Anthony,he was still a child.
So, the responsibility was on his shoulders to make the plans go smoothly as possible.
Clara also walked upstairs to check on Anthony as her father left the living room.
..........
Anthony had slept for two days straight with Clara waking him up in between for freshening up and eating.
She was with him, as she took care of him.
It was a major relief for her, as he looked normal on the third day.
She honestly started panicking when he didn't respond as she went upstairs to check up on him two days ago.
Some times she would wake in the middle of the night as she looked at his face for fear of him leaving.
She knew that her worries are valid as he will definitely do this again if left unnoticed.He was that obsessed with his work.
Clara didn't know how worried she looked the following days till he became normal.
Thomas called a doctor about this on the day he didn't wake up.They were happy to know that he will wake up after some time.
Clara has even prepared a speech to to scold him for all the trouble he made her go through.
Finally,Anthony woke up on the third day in the early morning.
......
Anthony and Clara are seen sleeping in the newly renovated upstairs.
As there was only one bed(Clara's idea), They were seen sleeping on it.
It is a very comfortable bed, as Clara's choice in the furniture were to go by.
Anthony slowly opened his eyes to look at the scenario he was already familiar with.
Even though he didn't sleep in the room very often.He still slept here a few times in the last month.
At first, it was awkward for him sleep with a young woman like Clara who he had known for a short period of time.
He couldn't even sleep the first few days as his paranoia was catching up to him.
It took him two whole weeks for him to get enough comfortable for sleeping with her.
He honestly was very thankful that he still was a kid for the first time.He didn't have to worry about any unnecessary thoughts because of hormones.
But he will still talk about separating the rooms again or sleeping down stairs in his parents bed room.
He stopped his musings as he saw Clara was stirring to wake up.
"Good morning Clara". Greeted Anthony as he saw her wake up.
"Morning Anthony". She replied as her mind was still not sober enough.
Silence was filling the room as her eyes widened at what was happening.
It was very funny to see her expression go from drowsy to shocked.Sadly, he didn't have a camera with him or he would have recorded it.
"Lets talk during the breakfast".
Said Anthony as he looked at the alarm clock on the table beside the bed.
Clara still in shock nodded her head dumbly as Anthony went ahead to freshen up.
Alas all her plans and speech about scolding him could only come to a halt at this unexpected situation.
