CHAPTER 701: THE FATHER OF JAVE

After pondering for a while, Fang Chen decided to let Berezovsky say hello to the Russian Aerospace Ministry, there was no need to say so much to Mu Qizhong.

It's just that, as he just said, even if he agrees to buy a plane now, I'm afraid he won't rush it.

You must know that Gulfstream, Boeing, Airbus, these aircraft companies order private jets, and basically the delivery time is more than two years.

And even if he can directly get the old Russian plane, no matter what, simply pack it up, decorate it, or still want it, such a toss, and wait until he sees the plane, at least two or three months later.

Therefore, Mengmeng can't catch up with this private jet, so she can only stay in the cargo hold and check it out with other luggage.

Seeing that Fang Chen really agreed, and didn't lie to him, Wu Mao hurriedly ran to the phone, he was going to call Berezovsky now, and asked Berezovsky to arrange the construction of a private jet.

Thankfully, thanks to God's blessing, the Ninth Master finally has his own private jet

Early the next morning, Fang Chen took a plane to Santa Clara, California, where there is a world-famous place, Silicon Valley

Walking through the streets of Silicon Valley, Fang Chen's first feeling is not the so-called rich high-tech atmosphere, but the comfortable climate of Silicon Valley.

He is now wearing a casual light jacket, and the light sea breeze blows on his face, which is refreshing.

According to Taylor's introduction, Silicon Valley is a typical Mediterranean climate, and only two percent of the entire earth's land has such a climate, even in the cold winter, the average temperature in Silicon Valley will not be lower than 10C, and in summer, it is basically only more than 20 degrees, and the maximum temperature will not even break through 30 degrees.

There's even a propaganda slogan in Silicon Valley: "A good climate trumps government effort." ”

Fang Chen sighed while watching, who said that code farmers otaku don't know how to enjoy, if they don't know how to enjoy, how can they build so many high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.

Hearing Fang Chen say that cu, something that is not even the size of a baby's palm, but is worth a thousand gold, is actually made of sand, Wu Maocai's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said in amazement, "Isn't this the ancient point of turning stones into gold?"

He clearly remembered that the Xiaobawang game machine, the one on the learning machine, at most a little bigger than a thumbnail cover, accounted for almost a quarter of the entire game console, so a small one would cost seventy or eighty yuan, which was worth the old nose money.

Turning stones into gold

Fang Chen froze for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but smile, isn't this cu just turning stones into gold.

Silicon Valley, the semiconductor industry that originated here in the fifties and uses silica sand as raw material, has given this valley the attribute of "silicon" and the attribute of "wealth" to Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is synonymous with the knowledge economy, accounting for 15 of the country's population, creating 15 patents in the United States, and having more than one Nobel Prize winner.

The average GD in Silicon Valley is five times higher than the average GD in the United States.

If Silicon Valley were taken out as a country or region, it would be the richest country in the world per capita, with a per capita GDP three times that of Luxembourg, the second place.

Here, just throw a brick down and hit a millionaire, a multimillionaire.

Silicon Valley is a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation, and it receives about 30 percent of the nation's venture capital each year.

It is also the habitat for the growth of excellent enterprises, among the world's top 100 technology companies, there are 20 in Silicon Valley, HP, Cisco, Intel, Apple, Oracle, AD, Google, eBay, Applied Materials, Yahoo and other high-tech enterprises, all of which are the spoiled children raised by it.

In addition to these high-tech companies, Silicon Valley is home to the headquarters and R&D bases of established car companies such as Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, and General Motors, and Tesla Motors is a product of Silicon Valley.

Moreover, Fang Chen also knows that since the 90s, Silicon Valley has become the engine of the information industry, and while bringing huge wealth to the United States, it has also profoundly affected the social civilization process and lifestyle of all mankind.

Interestingly, however, the term Silicon Valley does not exist on the map, and all that Silicon Valley has now is the result of spontaneous human formation.

This is probably something that the dean of Stanford University's engineering school did not think of when he proposed to lease Stanford's vast land to industry cheaply.

"Commander Gao, no, has Gosling made an appointment?" Fang Chen suddenly asked.

Although it was strange why Fang Chen added a no between the two Goslings, Taylor was still honest and respectfully said, "I have made an appointment with Gosling, and it is in the café next to Sun Company." ”

But at this point, Taylor hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Boss, why did you come to see this Gosling in person, you just let me talk to him." ”

Taylor was really puzzled, and even a little nervous, why Fang Chen would go all the way to Silicon Valley to meet a little programmer.

Whether you are dissatisfied with his work, or simply feel that there is something wrong with his personal ability

The more he thought about it, the more panicked Taylor's heart grew.

You know, although the United States has won the Gulf War and collapsed the Soviets, it has lost the economy, and the streets are full of unemployed.

A fertile position like the director of DynaSky's offices in Europe and the United States is not so easy to obtain, let alone a person who has been disciplined by Budweiser for his poor work.

He wanted to intercede with Fang Chen now, but he didn't know how to speak.

It wasn't until Fang Chen walked into the café that he still didn't say anything about firing him, that Taylor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he secretly swore that he must work hard to prevent Fang Chen from firing him.

If Fang Chen knew that he had completed a beating on Taylor without doing anything, how would his heart ring

The reason why Fang Chen came to Silicon Valley is only because of Jave's father, and it is worth him to do it.

Well, that's right, the programmer he was going to meet was the inventor of Jave, James Gosling, known as Commander Gao in China.

Jave is the world's most widely used programming language.

If the operation of modern society depends on all kinds of software and programs, then Jave is one of the most basic weavers of all kinds of program software, and it can even be said that it is the most advantageous and powerful weapon in the hands of programmers.

In the eyes of programmers who love it, none of the above sentences are in the eye.

The Android system that the world is familiar with is woven by Jave as the underlying language, or simply put, Android is a small variant branch of Jave.

In this world, Jave serves more than 10 billion devices, and there is no phone other than Apple that doesn't pay homage to Jave.

And Jave is also the only language in the world that has the ability to prevent the Microsoft operating system from monopolizing the world.

Scott McNeely, the president of the Sun, the de facto owner of Jave, once had a compelling hobby against Microsoft and was known as a Silicon Valley fighter.

He even said, "I don't want my children to live in a world where there's only Microsoft in the future."

Some even claim that Jvae and Gosling were Bill Gates' nightmare, and that he used his beard to make Gates' smile very forced.

At its peak, with more than 50,000 employees and a market capitalization of $200 billion, Sun was the most valuable company in Silicon Valley, and even in 2018, it could rank among the top 10 high-tech companies in the world.

And the Jave language has definitely contributed to the great cause of the Sun Company, and even played a crucial role.

After Fang Chen arrived, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a big beard already waiting in the bustling and lively café.

Smiling slightly, Fang Chen walked straight over, then pulled out a chair and sat opposite the other party.

Gosling glanced at Fang Chen in surprise, and then asked with some curiosity, "This gentleman, how did you recognize me?"

A Chinese face like Fang Chen is naturally easier to recognize, and it can even be said that in Silicon Valley, it is like standing out from the crowd, there are whites, blacks, Mexicans, and Dongyu people, but there are no Chinese.

But how could Fang Chen know that he was Gosling's.

And, to be honest, a few days ago, someone called him to ask him to meet, and he felt that this matter revealed a trace of weirdness, especially since the other party also claimed to be the manager of a Huaxia company with an annual revenue of more than one billion US dollars and offices in Europe and the United States.

What the hell.

Not to mention whether Huaxia now has such a company with an annual revenue of more than one billion US dollars, after all, their Sun Company, as a leading server company in the United States, has a revenue of only 500 million US dollars a year.

Moreover, even if there is, why should the other party call him.

And also said that the president of their company was going to come to Silicon Valley to meet him.

You know, let alone such a big boss, even the president of their Sun Company, Mr. Scott would not come to find a small programmer like him.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party faxed him a bank asset certificate, he really thought that the other party was a liar.

Fang Chen didn't say anything, smiling and pointing at Gosling's beard.

In a previous life, Gosling was as famous for his beard as Gosling himself.

Besides, he couldn't have told Gosling that he knew him.

Seeing this, Gost looked embarrassed, and then shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "Actually, I don't want to have such a long beard, but I can't help it, it grows too fast, really, I shave every night before going to bed, because I'm afraid that the beard will affect my breathing when I sleep." ”

Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little weird, he really didn't expect that in this world, there were still people who shaved their beards because they were afraid that their beards would be too long and cause apnea.

"And you know what, I'm only 36 now, and I'm a full month away from my 37th birthday, but there are always people who think I'm in my forties, or even fifties, because of this beard. Gosling said with some sadness.

Obviously, the beard thing was already the deepest thorn in his heart.

Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but laugh twice, he regretted it a little, he shouldn't have mentioned the matter of beard.

And this Gosling is really self-familiar, how can anyone say that someone who has just met once, or even only two minutes, just babbles on and on saying these nonsensical things.

Really, when he heard Gosling say this just now, Fang Chen really had the illusion that he was Gosling's friend.

At this time, Gosling suddenly realized that Fang Chen was not his friend, let alone a good person to talk to, but a wealthy man with an annual revenue of more than one billion dollars and richer than his boss, and his face suddenly changed drastically and became serious.

"Gosling, do you know why I came to you," Fang Chen said with a smile.

Probably feeling that there were too many words just now, three words popped out of Gosling's mouth, "I don't know." ”

"I'm here for Oak. Fang Chen paused word by word, and said slowly with great seriousness.

As soon as these words came out, Gosling's eyes widened and he looked at Fang Chen in disbelief.

"You don't know what oak is, do you?" Fang Chen said with a smile.

Gosling hurriedly shook his head, "How could I not know Oak, for me, it is just like my child, how can any parent not know their own child." ”

Fang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, if Oak was Gosling's child, then Gosling was probably the most irresponsible parent in the world.

How can anyone in the world say that the parents pointed to the oak tree at the door and named the child Oak.

The Chinese word for oak means oak.

As for the fact that Oak later changed to Jave, it is interesting.

In 1995, when the Sun Company was preparing to promote Jave, because the name Oak was registered, they asked Gosling to rename it, Gosling looked around, and then casually raised the coffee in his hand and said, "Then call it Jave." “

Well, that's right, the cup of coffee in his hand is from the island of Java.

Such parents should be dragged out and thrown away.

Seeing Fang Chen's expression, Gosling instantly understood what Fang Chen was thinking, and couldn't help but blush, the name oak was indeed a bit arbitrary.

"I mean, Mr. Fang, how did you know about Oak"

Gosling decided to divert the conversation and continue to talk about how the name oak came to be, and how bad it was, which was really not a good topic for him.

Actually, I don't blame him, Oak is just a gadget that he spent three months concocting with a four-person development team, and it's still an accessory.

He designed Oak as a programming language to facilitate his own programming for a project called Green Appliances, which solves the problem of controlling and communicating household appliances such as televisions, telephones, alarm clocks, toasters, etc.

Although he solved the problem of the program, the company later found that the cost of green appliances was too great, and almost all of the household appliances designed from this cost more than 10,000 US dollars, which is not at all affordable for ordinary families, so they can only give up.

Even his small team of four is completely idle, and the most important thing to do every day is to go to work and play games.

In this case, how could he possibly give Oak a good name, and even having a name would be good enough.
