Seeing Fang Chen's fingers lightly on the table, ticking and ticking, Gosling's forehead couldn't help but sweat a lot, and even felt that the air around him fell into a dead silence, quiet and a little scared, uncomfortable, it was like sitting on pins and needles.

For an ordinary programmer like him, it still takes courage to reject a rich man like Fang Chen.

After a long time, Fang Chen slowly raised his head, looking at Gosling's nervous appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Of course, he can't, and those who know the meaning of it know.

"Gosling, don't jump to conclusions so early, it's not too late to listen to my conditions, I'm sure you also want Oak to make a difference, and even affect the whole world, right?"

Fang Chen looked at Gosling confidently, his bright eyes seemed to exude a scorching light, making Gosling almost unable to look directly, subconsciously dodged, and nodded lightly.

Although the appearance of Oak was only an accident for him, it was also the work of his heart, especially when he realized that Oak could have infinite prospects.

"I know, you're infinitely in love with Sun, but can you get support from Sun? Does your president, Mr. Scott, have the same clear vision of Oak's future potential as I do? In other words, would he spend a lot of money on Oak? a million, a million, a million, a fifty million, or more, and you really don't want to see Oak being used by hundreds of millions, or even billions, tens of billions of devices?"

Fang Chen's words were simply heart-wrenching, like a sharp sword stabbing into Gosling's heart, and the Gosling who killed him was overwhelmed, and he had nothing to say at all.

He knew what Fang Chen said, but he didn't want to face it.

It's been more than a year since he designed Oak, and he reported it early according to the process, but the company didn't move, and he even asked his supervisor last week, and the supervisor comforted him and told him not to worry.

In fact, he knows very well in his heart that the company probably doesn't have much interest in Oak, and the biggest possibility of Oak is to sink into the sea and disappear.

After all, they are just a server company, although they have their own operating system, but they are actually Unix-like, and as a server company, they don't need too much application software, and they don't have to write their own application software, so it's really normal to not pay attention to Oak.

Another important reason is that as a high-tech company that operates well in the United States and is growing at a rate of 20% every year, there are so many inventions, small scientific research results, and all kinds of bizarre new ideas that if the company satisfies everyone's whimsy, the company will only go bankrupt.

This is something that the wise president of Scott could not allow.

And, in the eyes of most people, his Oak, while excellent, is not very different in essence from the little things that other employees have researched.

And he can't prove it, let alone be sure, that Oak can bring great prospects to the company, and he can't even be sure that Oak's results are much better than the rest of the staff.

Thinking of this, Gosling was a little ashamed, his optimism and firmness for Oak were not as strong as Fang Chen's.

And listening to the meaning of Fang Chen's words, Fang Chen plans to invest one million, ten million dollars, or even fifty million dollars for Oak, which is really a terrifying number.

As for more money, he really didn't dare to think about it, knowing that his current annual salary is no more than $50,000 a year, which has just reached the average of Silicon Valley, and $50 million will take him a thousand years to earn back.

The development cost of Oak is as small as grit.

It only took the four of them three or four months, and based on their salaries, it did not exceed 30,000 dollars.

And Fang Chen's last sentence really hit him hard in the heart, can Oak really work on hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions of devices one day?

Gosling suddenly felt that he was looking forward to this day.

Looking at the blue and white on Gosling's face, hesitating and struggling, Fang Chen's heart became more and more determined, he could now be sure that Gosling was like an urn.

He believes that no one can refuse such a vast future.

And he didn't believe that a genius who could design an electronic learning machine at the age of 12 and get a Ph.D. in computer science at the age of 28 would be so willing to be plain and endure failure after failure.

Gosling's last job was at IBM designing, IBM's first-generation workstation operating system, but unfortunately, because he was not taken seriously, he had to come to the current Sun Company after a few years of IBM stumbling.

"And, Gosling, tell me, how long do you think it will take for you Scott President to pay attention to you and your Oak? You've been waiting for almost two years now, how long are you going to wait?"

As soon as Fang Chen's words came out, Gosling instantly felt dizzy and couldn't help himself, as if he had been punched hard in the temple.

After a long time, Gosling showed a bitter smile, and he actually knew in his heart that probably President Scott would never be able to pay attention to Oak.

Although he has been working hard to get Scott's attention.

Privately, he often promotes his Oak to other programmers, hoping to spread the word and generate a certain repercussion before it gets the company's attention.

But the effect is not great, after all, for programmers, changing programming languages is like taking half their lives, and at worst, it can even ruin their careers.

He now thinks that Fang Chen's programmer friend, maybe he also knows and recommended Oak to him, otherwise how could Fang Chen know about Oak.

But obviously, time has proven that this is all useless, and Oak is still a small transparent company in the company, and no one pays attention to Oak, let alone the president of Scott.

And there are already members of his four-person group who want to resign from the company, for them, although the working atmosphere of the Sun Company is very good, there is no stage for them to develop their talents.

"But most importantly, how many years can you wait, Gosling? You're thirty-seven now, and you should know that's a lot of age for a programmer. ”

Looking at Gosling's appearance, Fang Chen threw out a killer move.

According to statistics, the average age of working writers in the United States is forty-two, but in Silicon Valley the number has become even lower.

For example, Apple is 31 years old, Microsoft is 30 years old, Intel is 29 years old, and other companies are even younger.

Tech companies are willing to hire young people, not only because young people are cheaper, but also because tech companies in the Bay Area don't trust the "long-standing" experience and resume of their practitioners.

As a result, some people use plastic surgery to make themselves look younger.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly realized that Gosling was actually a young man, middle-aged, and finally a late bloomer, and when Gosling really became famous, it was in 1995, and he was already forty years old at that time.

This is nothing short of a miracle among the average young programmer.

And interestingly, he went to Google at the age of 56 to apply for a job, but was told by HR: "Usually we don't hire programmers of your age, but your situation is special, so we give you special consideration." ”

It is also said that Gosling, the father of JAVE, who is famous in the computer industry, also encountered ageism when looking for a job.

However, this is probably why Gosling left after only five months at Google.

But it's worth mentioning that Gosling applied for a job that paid five million dollars a year, not those that paid two or three hundred thousand dollars a year.

This is a very poignant fact.

But Fang Chen wanted to say, really, it would be a great waste to let Gosling's talent be discovered by the world at the age of forty.

Hearing Fang Chen mention his age, Gosling's face instantly turned pale, without the slightest trace of blood, his eyes widened, looking at Fang Chen in disbelief, he felt that he was sitting opposite a devil.

Otherwise, how could every sentence hit his weakness, tear the side he was most reluctant to show up, and put the red fruit in the sun to be exposed.

The problem of age is indeed the thing he is most unwilling to face, and it is also the thing he fears the most, as a new industry, the speed of technology update is extremely fast, if you don't study hard, you will soon be eliminated because of backward technology.

Older people obviously don't have much energy to keep up with the latest technology, which is why IBM, Apple, and Microsoft prefer young people.

And last month, a new twenty-year-old young man came into the company, and when this young man knew his age, he blurted out: "You are the same age as my father." ”

At that time, the scene was extremely embarrassing, it seemed that the air was stagnant, and he even had no place to be ashamed, trying to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Well, that's right, this guy is from Virginia, his father was only fourteen when he got married, and his mother was only twelve years old, but they were legally married.

The thought of this made Gosling eager to point his finger at the judges in Virginia and blast out their sinful heads, and it was their connivance and stupidity that led to the continuation of this law, which should have been repealed in the last century, and will continue into the twenty-first century.

Gosling felt his mind in a mess, like melted butter, and he couldn't figure it out.

After a long time, Gosling raised his head and looked at Fang Chen for more than ten seconds, and then said slowly: "Sir, you are really a devil. ”

“Dread . Lord?" Fang Chen said with a smile.

Gosling was stunned for a moment, terrible God? What the hell is this?

Looking at Gosling's stunned appearance, Fang Chen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and his bad taste was instantly greatly satisfied. Lord is the English name of the undead hero and the Dreadlord in the Warcraft series.

Now that Warcraft 1 has not been made by glass slag, it is naturally impossible for Gosling to know.

But soon, Gosling came to his senses, and he nodded solemnly, "You are indeed a terrible god. ”

Just like Fang Chen, every word pierces his heart, and he pierces one by one, either the devil or God.

But in any case, the terrible definitely didn't run.

Fang Chen laughed twice, he felt that getting along with Gosling would probably be very interesting in the future.

Well, that's right, although it is not explicitly stated, Gosling has indeed descended.

Moreover, he had really thought it out just now, although the so-called famous flower has a master, the hoe is even more ruthless, as long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner that cannot be dug down.

Sooner or later, Gosling will come to him.

Even if Gosling can persist and not waver now, then half a year later, a year later, two years later, will Gosling still be able to persist in Sun Company, which is not valued and has a better working atmosphere?

It's impossible.

"Then let me talk about it first, what can I give you, I will set up a research institute for you, not for profit, but for the purpose of making Oak research more perfect. ”

"Then I will give you freedom, full freedom, and great rights, you and your programmers, working hours, salary, and all kinds of benefits, all up to you, even if you want to have a French meal every day, no problem, your funds are completely yours to spend, you and your programmers can apply for all kinds of project funding according to your interests......"

The more Gosling listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he was sure once again that Fang Chen was a god, or how could every condition be mentioned in his heart.

As a tech nerd, he really doesn't like to think about business, profit, and other messy things, so he wants to ponder and study technology, but he also hates the 9-to-5 working hours, sometimes he has inspiration, he can work late into the night at once, but the next day he still has to come to work on time.

He thinks that a technician should only work for eight hours a day, no, forty hours a week is enough, and the rest of the time is arranged by themselves at will.

If you don't have inspiration, you can take a break, travel, fish, play cards, or even go to Las Vegas to play a game of two.

"Then, tentatively set the annual budget at 10 million dollars, if there are good projects, I allow overspending, and you and your programmers can work as you like, the company, your home, the café, it doesn't matter, and your salary, 500,000 dollars a year, and there are bonuses for doing well. Fang Chen's eyes flashed with this inexplicable light.

Gosling's mouth couldn't close with joy, he now felt that Fang Chen was really the best boss in the world, no, it was God!

If it weren't for God, how could he be given a heavenly working environment and treatment.

Looking at Gosling's appearance, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth twitched, he felt that Gosling had laughed a little early.
