Los Angeles Chinatown.

After spending more than half a year in Beverly Hills, Mr. Su was so tormented by the boredom of life that he returned to live in Chinatown, where the streets are spacious and clean, the greenery is super good, and the residents are more qualified, and it is indeed comfortable to live in, but it is not what he wants.

There are no old friends to chat with, and there is no familiar breakfast, and the days taste like chewing wax, after Su Mu heard his father say this, he felt sorry for the old man who was depressed all day, so he bought a big villa near Chinatown and asked them to move back.

Su Dingcai took over a restaurant last year, the kind of cornices and corners, the kind of red door wooden pillars, which looks particularly magnificent, the son is rich, they make their own money and spend it themselves, and they live a very comfortable life.

In the evening, Old Man Su went to play mahjong with his hands behind his back, his back was straight, he had confidence in his heart, he walked with the wind, followed by the fat cat ingot, this super fat orange cat had a bell tied around his neck, and he walked with a jingle.

Someone shouted at the old man: "Your grandson is famous this time! I actually stood with the president and took pictures! I saw it in the newspaper!"

"Vice, I will be the president after a while, my grandson is fooling around all day long, spending money lavishly, and he can't gather money, just lucky. ”

When he said this, Old Man Su's back straightened even more, his grandson is now a billionaire, and Los Angeles Chinatown has a history of more than 100 years, and there have only been a few rich people?

The words sounded modest, but in fact he wanted to shout: "My grandson is promising!"

When I met old acquaintances, I heard a lot of compliments, and I have suffered for most of my life, but I have forgotten all about it in the past few years, and I can enjoy a good life with peace of mind.

If you have a good relationship and come to the door, you don't mind helping if you can help, if someone dares to get an inch, Old Man Su will really turn his face and not recognize people.

He said in his heart, feeling that since the other party was shameless, why should he give face, and he handled the relationship very well.

When the children of relatives asked for jobs, they threw them into the restaurant opened by their son, and did not block Su Mu, resulting in the relatives of the Su family now all relying on the old man, and they have the demeanor of the head of the family in ancient times.

The grandson is promising, the old man Su is "relying on Sun Gui", everyone has to sell a good face when he walks on the road, and he knows that Su Mu is involved with the president, and he is even more angry.

A few days ago, the fortune teller said that the reason why his grandson can have today is thanks to his grandmother's blessing in the spirit of heaven, he chose a good feng shui, knowing that the other party was talking nonsense, but he said that the old man's heart was in the heart, and he gave fifty more knives with a wave of his hand!

No, it's just magnanimous......

In Sumu, Washington, D.C., after personally drafting a harsh non-disclosure agreement, he asked a lawyer to help check for loopholes.

He asked the Hilton Hotel to arrange a large conference room, and he couldn't go to his own room, not to mention the miasma, there were too many people to stand, most of them were well-known figures in the scientific research community, and three teachers from Yale University also rushed over.

In addition, there are investors, even Goldman Sachs paid attention to this matter, and specially sent a senior partner to negotiate a partnership with Su Mu, he was too busy today, so he shirked it in a few words and said that he would talk about it later.

I wanted to form a discussion group and secretly get the patent in my hands before publishing it, but now the situation has developed unexpectedly, and it is like a heavyweight large-scale seminar in the Internet industry.

Take Dr. Cerf, who arrived first, has a high status in the IT world, and he can't catch up, and there are many experts who are older than him, who also promised to sign a confidentiality agreement, and Lai is reluctant to leave at the Hilton Hotel, and Su Mu can't blast them out.

James, who knew that he had done something wrong, was completely dumbfounded after seeing one famous person after another in the textbook, the time was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, seven hours had passed since Dr. Cerf's arrival, and there were already more than 60 people at the scene, most of them from top universities and research institutes in the United States.

More than 90 percent of them have the title of "doctor", and some people have brought out a group of doctors under their hands, such as Mr. John Bardeen, who is already in a wheelchair, and the transistor was invented by him and two other people, who have won the Nobel Prize.

Su Mu was very depressed, glared at James several times, and comforted himself with the words "If you come here, you will be safe" in your heart, but there are so many people who testify for themselves, plus the confidentiality agreement, there is no need to worry about chaos.

Grunting with hunger, he clapped his hands to attract attention, and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen!

This is supposed to be a confidential work, but since everyone is here, anyone who is willing to sign a confidentiality agreement can participate in and demonstrate my idea! For those who are willing to sign their names on the confidentiality agreement, you will stay here for free for two days, or maybe three days, at my expense, but during this time you will not be able to contact the outside world, and the phone in the room will be taken away until I submit the patent!"

In those seven hours, Su Mu had searched all the knowledge in his mind on his own, wrote a patent application for the use of hypertext links in the Internet, and submitted it to the patent office in Washington, D.C.

Regardless of whether the content is completely accurate or not, at least he proposed the idea first and registered it first, even if others were only half an hour behind him, Su Mu registered first.

In the United States, the theoretical method of the procedure is also patentable and has legal effect.

This is his hand, worried that someone will preemptively register the patent, it is best not to leak the news during the discussion, and when the time comes, a more complete patent will be submitted, even if it leaks out, Su Mu can also occupy the initiative.

After listening to these words, it was strange to be able to give Su Mu a good face, complaining for days, and a small number of people were happy to ask for a confidentiality agreement to sign, just want to know what new technology it is as soon as possible, and more people are browsing the agreement, hesitating.

More than half an hour later, more than 40 people signed the confidentiality agreement, and several old men scolded Su Mu for being a "profiteer", only focusing on technology, and not liking Su Mu at all.

The group was taken to a conference room, where several Spider employees, who had also signed the agreement, stood guard outside the door.

Dr. Cerf was already so anxious that his heart was angry, and he said to Su Mu angrily, "Can you tell us?

"Yes, young man, I'm going to die suddenly if I don't sleep, I'm in my seventies, and I have high blood pressure. ”

Su Mu stood next to the white clipboard specially found by the hotel staff, and when he picked up the microphone, there was an instant silence underneath.

"The idea I came up with was to design a client and server program that would allow users to browse the resources on the server through the client," he said.

Build a system of many interlinked hypertexts, accessed via the Internet, in which every useful thing, called a resource, is coded for them, and a program is dedicated to identifying them......"

The audience was still quiet, everyone's eyes widened, and some experts with different research focuses on the direction of research had blank expressions, completely unable to understand what was being said.

And those who understood, who were ignited by Su Mu, had already thought of an incomparably wonderful information processing system in an instant.

"In this information base, information can not only be accessed by users around the world, but also can be easily linked to information in other places, so that users can quickly access important information, and the integration of hypertext and the Internet is completely feasible, and the form of text links to a page is linked.

In layman's terms, I'm going to design a program where when a user clicks on a high-brightness text, or some other special text, they will be taken to another document, which can be another part of the same document, or a completely different type of object, and the user is not really taken somewhere, but just a program looking for and capturing what the user needs in the file library. ”

Su Mu expressed his thoughts and added: "Of course, users must first agree to a certain agreement that I have made, and voluntarily include the file in the hypertext link system before showing it to others, the idea is probably like this, what do you think?"

Still quietly, he began to muttered in his heart, wondering if something was wrong?

After a few seconds, I heard a middle-aged man wearing glasses ask his companion in an uncertain tone, "It seems...... Can it work?"

Dr. Cerf, the founder of the Internet, laughed at himself: "It's so simple, it's just that simple, the original way to achieve the real Internet has appeared when hypertext appeared, and we haven't noticed!"

"So, how do you let users know where the information they want is?"

As soon as this sentence appeared, someone suddenly shouted: "It is completely possible to search in the document library through the text content, and each file is marked, according to the table of contents of the book, will you not find where the chapters are?"

Immediately after that, someone shouted: "You can also use the link, since the file is marked, then it means that each file has a corresponding link! After the user agrees to the agreement, he can freely publish the content of the file, and others can find it immediately, with just a click of the mouse, this is really a crazy idea! Hypertext and the Internet are simply too suitable!"

"What if you don't agree to the agreement?"

"Are you an idiot?

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise, most of them were old, and the scene was crazy!

Arguing and discussing with each other, they are all talking about feasibility, but no one says no, Su Mu clenched his fists and succeeded!

At this time, he thought, if he mastered the program to browse files, would he become the "God" of the Internet?

Immediately after the reaction, once you really dare to do this, most of them will be besieged by the group, and it will only give others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the method has already told others that they can always bypass the patent if they think of a way, and they will suffer in the end.

After arguing for more than half an hour, the voice began to get quieter, and Su Mu asked the people present: "Is there any technical obstacle to the real realization of hypertext links?"

"No, it can be done with the existing technology, and the design program is very simple. A middle-aged woman shook her head and replied, she was the chief software engineer at Oracle, and she joined Larry Ellison shortly after the company founded the company.

Su Mu smiled very happily: "That's good, it looks like you can leave tomorrow, after I submit the patent application, now you can discuss how to design the terminal and server, if you are interested, you can also participate in the development of the hypertext link protocol, I plan to develop it soon." ”

"You want to make money with it, the fee must not be too high, it will discourage people's interest in using it, at most it will charge individuals and businesses when they register their website addresses, and nothing else will make money!" Dr. Cerf shook his head.

When the cake is bigger, there can be enough profits, Su Mu was stunned after hearing this, and said with a laugh: "Great idea, it turns out that I can sell website addresses for a fee! Just like my mobile phone number, if I want to choose a satisfactory number, I have to add a fee!"

Many people looked at Cerf, only to see that his face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and he wanted to slap his mouth, and the pure scientific researcher was very disgusted with the businessman's approach, and found that he actually made a good suggestion and wanted to hit his head against the wall.

"Don't worry about that, I've already thought about it and left it to the companies to use ten years to grow, and during this time, there will be no fees for anything other than selling domain names.

And in 10 years, every company that makes money from my patents will have to pay me a small amount, about 3 percent or 5 percent of my revenue, and I can't be busy in vain.

Su Mu thought further, at present, he doesn't know how to make money from this patent, and when the time comes in the future, he can always come up with it, reserve the right to charge for the time being, make the market bigger first, and then talk about this matter when the time comes......
