"I shouldn't have said that, but I have to remind you. Dr. Yu said bitterly for a long time, "Although we have a little money, can you discuss it with others before you make such a thing as investing in other people's companies?"

He clasped his hands together for a long time and smiled apologetically: "This was my negligence, but it was too unexpected at the time, hehe, next time I will definitely follow the rules." You don't know how happy I am to make this deal, John Volok, graphic description language, what a wonderful thing. ”

Dr. Yu said, "I know what this thing is, and I agree with you, but as a company leader, this procedure is not right. ”

"Alright, alright. "I obviously don't want to dwell on this issue for a long time, maybe no one knows what a graphic description language means now, and no one knows Adobe better than him in this era, even if there are only three or four people in the company now, and there is not a single product.

In Tokyo, Warlock came to the 'door', which surprised Chang Naga. How long did you know that some subtle changes have taken place in the world now, and Volok is an example.

This bearded Zen master reported himself to be a 'door', and he didn't feel anything for a long time, who let him say that he was a member of Apple's board of directors? But after chatting for a long time, he felt that something was wrong, this guy didn't look like an ordinary salesman, and he had a set of technical theories, especially in the field of new technologies.

After inquiring again, it turns out that this guy is the founder of Adobe, and he really has nowhere to find his iron shoes, and he can't help but sigh for a long time. Originally, when I was in China, I paid attention to this aspect of things for a long time.,That's about the technology of vector graphic fonts.,Later, I found that someone didn't care about it.,Just wait for the fruit to ripen.,How do you know that the development is very unsatisfactory.,And then because of the chip this thing, I left this thing behind.。

During this period of time in Japan, he has thought about everything for a long time, and the existing pattern is forgotten, and he does not need to worry about production, and he does not understand this, but how can the company have sufficient forward momentum? Then it is necessary to set up a research and development center.

The long-term plan is to set up an applied technology research institute in Silicon Valley, relying on Viesoft, to recruit talents, and at least to establish a leading position in software technology, with the initial goal of collecting all known potential technologies before the 90s.

It's easy to say, at present, this thing is just an idea in the long-term mind, and how to implement it requires the help of experts, but since others can break out single-handedly, it is naturally not too bad for you to have money and vision.

The top priority is the matter of the graphic "operation" system, although there is a special person in charge, but this thing does not grasp it in his own hands for a day and is uneasy, and he has long understood the meaning of it, so after thinking twice, he decided to take charge himself.

Although Microsoft's Indos has repeatedly bounced tickets, the Bill bubble has really put a lot of pressure on the long-term people, and in a sense, Bill's marketing strategy has indeed succeeded.

Now that Mackintosh has come out of nowhere, its novel graphical 'manipulation' system really catches people's eyes, and there is no more convenient interface, and the popularity of people really speaks for it.

The long-arranged, long-arranged, Massachusetts cooperation with X-indo is still nowhere to be seen, according to the research report, there is currently an internal eighth version, which is still being improved, and the test results are not suitable for release at present, which makes Chang vomit blood.

For a long time, he couldn't help but wonder if his decision was a little reluctant, and he wondered if the original dream of letting the Chinese master all the advanced technology was an extravagant hope, after all, the origin and power of technology are currently completely in the West.

I'm really not suitable for hardware.,I've been thinking about it for a long time.,It's okay to play some advanced system concepts.,Once it comes to the bottom, I find that I'm just like that.。

I wanted to leave for a long time, contact Silicon Valley as soon as possible, and devote myself to the software business, but I couldn't worry about my processor, and I felt very distressed, so I gave advice to Dr. Yu.

Who would have thought that Dr. Yu laughed: "Just this little, if you can trust it, 'hand' it over to me, it won't be worse than what you do." Young people have to pursue their dreams, and if they are too timid, they will suffocate themselves. ”

I was overjoyed for a long time, and what I wanted was Dr. Yu's words: "I naturally can't ask for Uncle Yu's departure, but in this case, are you too tired." ”

"If you want to go, you can go, nonsense!" Dr. Yu waved his hand, "Whoever is like you, can't get busy with work, and is naturally tired like a dog, hehe." ”

After a long grin, he began to prepare for the Exotic Raiders.

All aspiring companies attach great importance to the research and development and commercialization of technology, which is also related to the concept of the company's leaders, as long as they stand at the head of the "wave" of technology and do not worry about not being able to occupy the market, this trick has also been tried and tested, but there is a special case, that is, Xerox.

When it comes to the importance of advanced technology, its implementation is more than happy, and its leaders are very lenient in the funding of the research institute PARC, and there is no finger-pointing behavior, which has given birth to many great technical geniuses. However, it is a pity that none of these technologies have been successfully commercialized in the hands of Xerox, which is quite embarrassing for the heroes, and finally the geniuses who created these technologies left one by one, which has the glory of a hundred schools of thought in the future.

Adobe is one of them, and its founders Warlock and Charles are not under Bill's big 'door' in the future, and their status as the king of graphics and publishing has been challenged, but it has never been surpassed.

However, the current Adobe is far from being so good in the future, before Apple did not inject capital, there were only two founders, not even a finance, even now there are only a dozen developers, and its product is only one, that is, the graphic description language.

In computer graphics at that time, the display and printing of graphics was a very difficult technology to achieve, and the usual practice was to use a dot matrix bitmap to represent how many points there were in a horizontal series of screens, and which point used what grayscale 'color' color, which naturally occupied a huge amount of memory and computing resources.

Then there is the study of vector graphics, using formulas to describe curves and straight lines, and describing the composition format of the image to the computer according to certain rules, such as size, shape, 'color', etc., and what the computer does is to calculate and display this information one by one, which is naturally a good way to save space, and the enlarged graphics do not have any particles, and all the corners are smooth transitions.

This is a technique developed by Warlock and Charles at PARC, when Charles was Warlock's immediate boss, and the two 'spend' years defining all the display standards, which they called interpress.

It's a good thing, but like all of PARC's advanced technologies, interpress didn't pass the commercialization review, and PARC was still changing people's minds at the time, and Warlock and Charles naturally didn't have the luxury of Xerox to open a side, but resolutely opened their own company to provide printing and publishing services.

They reinvented InterPress and redefined the standards that became the well-known Postscript language, primarily used for graphic display and 'excited' printing.

At that time, the "excited" light printer was a rare thing, taking Xerox's "excited" printer as an example, a cost of 100,000 US dollars, the size of a refrigerator, even if a large company bought it, you have to weigh whether this thing is worth it.

It used to be worthless, and the fonts and graphics displayed in bitmaps were completely incomparable to the typographic effect, which was really prohibitive, but the Postscript language changed all that.

I looked at the paper that I had just taken out of the printer and still exuded the fragrance of ink, and sighed, this is the real printing body, with clear and sharp edges, and no unnatural transitions at all, which can be called a perfect realization of the graphics.

"Mr. Cao, are you still satisfied?" the bearded Warlock laughed, "everything is so perfect, I believe that this technology can change the way people live and think, and maybe one day, desktop publishing will become a reality." ”

Chang nodded for a long time: "It will be, I believe we will all see this day." ”

Volok is very preachy, and the postscript language is his pride, and once he says it, he talks endlessly. And I believe that there is no more serious listener in the world than Chang Chang, so as soon as I talk about it, I quickly consume the whole afternoon.

With the prophet's sermon, I have a general understanding of this knowledge for a long time, and I can't help but put away my contempt, and completely give up the idea of returning to China to pull a vote to practice on my own, and it is not a fluke that the postscript language has become the de facto standard.

Unlike traditional programs, the Postscript language is very complex and advanced, requiring more computing resources than can be imagined for a long time, so special controllers have to be developed to speed up this process.

This reminds me for a long time of the 'excited' light arrangement, which seems to be based on the same principle, but the two are still a little different, without the corresponding development environment, Founder cannot become a world-class industry standard, it is a pity, if you add a little force...... Shake your head for a long time, put aside your illusions, and do the things in front of you first, there is still a long way to go.

"And what is your product?" Chang Chang was curious, he was still very new to this industry, could it be that they sell language for a living?

"Well, at present, it is mainly to promote fonts, sell graphics software, and design print controllers. Warlock is a little embarrassed, and now Adobe has nothing to offer, "But we have plans to design our own workstations and 'excited' light printers, and sell them together, and I believe that the profits will be considerable." ”

Chang snorted and laughed: "Then you are going to release the product in a few years, five years? or ten years? To be honest, I have also done a survey, and there are at least six companies that do the same thing as you, and the funds are stronger than yours, and you have no chance of winning by doing this!"

Volok's old face flushed: "Actually, ......"

Chang Chang waved his hand: "You don't need to explain anything, this is normal, you don't need to rebuild the structure at all." There's a great platform right now, as long as you guys move around. ”

"You mean the EC machine?" said Warlock, "that's a good thing, and we're working on it, and we're in contact with the manufacturer to see if we can get technical support." ”

"Don't bother, the EC machine is made by my company. "Everything you need will be provided, and all you have to do is make the postscript language the standard on the EC." ”

Volok's mouth was wide open, and it was so shocking that he suddenly had the feeling of a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
