According to Google lore, company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were not terribly fond of each other when they first met as Stanford University graduate students in computer science in 1995.根据Google传说，公司创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin不可怕喜欢对方时，他们首先会见了斯坦福大学的研究生在计算机科学在1995年。 Larry was a 24-year-old University of Michigan alumnus on a weekend visit; Sergey, 23, was among a group of students assigned to show him around.拉里是一个24岁的密歇根大学的校友，一个周末的访问;谢尔盖， 23 ，是其中一组学生分配向他出示左右。 They argued about every topic they discussed.他们辩称，大约每隔他们讨论的话题。 Their strong opinions and divergent viewpoints would eventually find common ground in a unique approach to solving one of computing’s biggest challenges: retrieving relevant information from a massive set of data.他们强烈的意见和不同的观点，最终会找到共同点，在一个独特的办法来解决的一个计算的最大的挑战：检索有关资料，从大量的数据集。

By January of 1996, Larry and Sergey had begun collaboration on a search engine called BackRub, named for its unique ability to analyze the “back links” pointing to a given website.由1996年1月， Larry和Sergey已开始合作，对搜索引擎的所谓backrub ，命名为其独特的能力，分析“回三通” ，指向某一特定的网站。 Larry, who had always enjoyed tinkering with machinery and had gained some notoriety for building a working printer out of Lego™ bricks, took on the task of creating a new kind of server environment that used low-end PCs instead of big expensive machines.拉里，谁一直享有的修补机械，并已取得了一些声名狼藉的建设工作的印表机出Lego ™砖块，承担了任务，创造了一种新的服务器环境中使用的低端PC ，而非昂贵的大机器。 Afflicted by the perennial shortage of cash common to graduate students everywhere, the pair took to haunting the department’s loading docks in hopes of tracking down newly arrived computers that they could borrow for their network.受常年现金短缺的共同研究生无处不在，对了困扰该部的装载码头，希望能追查新来港定居的电脑，他们可以借用他们的网络。

Larry and Sergey continued working to perfect their technology through the first half of 1998. Larry和Sergey继续工作，完善他们的技术，通过1998年上半年。 Following a path that would become a key tenet of the Google way, they bought a terabyte of disks at bargain prices and built their own computer housings in Larry’s dorm room, which became Google’s first data center.以下的道路，这将成为一个关键特尼特的Google的方式，他们买了TB的磁盘在讨价还价，价格和建设自己的电脑外壳，在拉里的宿舍房间，成为Google的第一个数据中心。 Meanwhile Sergey set up a business office, and the two began calling on potential partners who might want to license a search technology better than any then available.同时谢尔盖成立一家企业办公室，和两间开始要求对潜在的合作伙伴谁可能要发牌的搜索技术优于任何然后可用。 Despite the dotcom fever of the day, they had little interest in building a company of their own around the technology they had developed.尽管dotcom热的天，他们的兴趣不大，建设公司自己的周围，技术，他们开发的。

Among those they called on was friend and Yahoo!其中他们呼吁是朋友和Yahoo ！ founder David Filo.创始人大卫费罗。 Filo agreed that their technology was solid, but encouraged Larry and Sergey to grow the service themselves by starting a search engine company.费罗一致认为，他们的技术是固体，但鼓励Larry和Sergey成长服务，他们开始搜寻引擎公司。 “When it’s fully developed and scalable,” he told them, “let’s talk again.” “当它的充分发展和可扩展的， ”他告诉他们， “让我们的谈话再次” 。 Others were less interested in Google, as it was now known.其他人较少有兴趣在Google ，因为它是现在众所周知的。 One portal CEO told them, “As long as we’re 80 percent as good as our competitors, that’s good enough. Our users don’t really care about search.”一门户网站的CEO告诉他们， “只要我们正在80 ％的一样好，我们的竞争对手，这就是不够好，我们的用户并不真正关心搜索” 。

Unable to interest the major portal players of the day, Larry and Sergey decided to make a go of it on their own.无法兴趣主要门户的球员一天， Larry和Sergey决定作出转到资讯科技对他们自己。 All they needed was a little cash to move out of the dorm — and to pay off the credit cards they had maxed out buying a terabyte of memory.所有他们需要的是一个不大的现金搬出宿舍-并还清信用卡，他们m axed出来买T B的内存。 So they wrote up a business plan, put their Ph.D.所以他们写了一个业务计划，把他们的博士 plans on hold, and went looking for an angel investor.计划搁置，去寻找天使投资者。 Their first visit was with a friend of a faculty member.他们的首次访华是与一位朋友系会员。

We gave him a quick demo. He had to run off somewhere, so he said, ‘Instead of us discussing all the details, why don’t I just write you a check?’作为谢尔盖告诉它： “我们会见了他很早就之一，今天上午就阳台的史丹福学院会员的家在帕洛阿尔托，我们给了他一个快速演示，他曾运行过的某个地方，所以他说， ‘不是我们讨论的所有详情，为什么不，我只是给你写信检查呢？ It was made out to Google Inc. and was for $100,000.”这是出Google公司和为一○○○○○美元“ 。

The investment created a small dilemma.投资建立了一个小的窘境。 Since there was no legal entity known as “Google Inc.,” there was no way to deposit the check.由于没有法律实体，称为“ Google公司， ”有没有办法存款检查。 It sat in Larry’s desk drawer for a couple of weeks while he and Sergey scrambled to set up a corporation and locate other funders among family, friends, and acquaintances.它星期六在拉里的抽屉里，为几个星期，而他和Sergey一窝蜂成立一个公司，并找到其他资助者之间的家人，朋友和熟人。 Ultimately they brought in a total initial investment of almost $1 million.最终他们带来了在一个总的初始投资近一百万元。

Michael Moritz of Sequoia and John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins — who between them had helped grow Sun Microsystems, Intuit, Amazon, and Yahoo!在重播的收敛性的对立统一了出生到Google ，这两家公司-通常是竞争激烈，但眼睛到眼睛上的价值，这项新的投资-都采取了座位上的董事局。迈克尔莫里茨的红杉和约翰杜尔的Kleiner Perkins的-谁它们之间的帮助成长的S unM icrosystems， I ntuit公司，亚马逊和雅虎！ — joined Ram Shriram , CEO of Junglee, at the ping pong table that served as formal boardroom furniture. -加入R AM的s hriram，总裁兼首席执行官于J unglee，在乒乓表充当正式董事会家具。
