Before coming over, Gao Lu had communicated with the work company and had a strong intention to sign a contract.

Therefore, a few guys from the work company were not too troublesome, and designed the web page of Gaolu in advance.

The content is incredibly simple, just two pictures of the high road office, a few lines of introductory text, main business, freight forwarding logistics, contact information, office address.

All that's left is a long list of phone numbers.

Others, gone.

Gao Lu frowned and asked beside him, "What's the matter, what do you think?"

Fan Yang looked at the web page in front of him and felt disappointed.

Before that, he encouraged Gao Lu in every possible way, and even promised to share the cost equally, which was a full 30,000 US dollars.

But it's too simple in front of me.

"How can it be so rudimentary? It doesn't seem to be functional at all? Can it be changed as we want?"

Paul Allen explains: "How can it be, our company's writing technology is CGI returning HTML, which is already the most advanced technical language. ”

Li Qilin interjected: "This makes me feel very bad, it looks too rigid, it costs 30,000 US dollars, I don't think it's worth it." ”

Jia Jingyuan also shook his head.

Fan Yang thought for a while.

Finally realized that something was wrong.

"Don't you have a child page?"

Paul Allen was stunned: "What subpage?"

Fan Yang patted his head and finally understood why it looked so shabby.

In this day and age, there was not even the concept of subpages.

Fan Yang said: "Can you show us the cases you have done?"

Paul Allen even said OK and opened several websites they had done in a row.

These also include Seattle Customs, UPS, and even Boeing.

It's all simple without exception.

A few pictures, contact details, business introduction.

Other than that, it's gone.

It's just a separate page, and it looks more like this phone book.

It took Fan Yang a lot of effort to explain to them what a subpage is.

Give them a request, write various buttons on the web page, click on it, and they will jump to a completely new web page.

Unexpectedly, this simple idea made Paul Allen exclaim: "Oh my God, how did you come up with it? Isn't it a multi-functional control panel to add a button to a web page?" ”

Fan Yang was stunned: "Can this idea be realized?"

"Wait a minute. ”

Immediately called their software engineer, William White.

A young man in his twenties, with short curly blonde hair, thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Is it just to insert a link on a web page? Combine two web pages and click pop up?"

After a while: "This idea is very good, I think I can try it." ”

Fan Yang said: "Your technology is very good, but such a web page is too boring, it is a phone book, we want to show too few things, the complete website should be a combination of multiple web pages, to be functional, interactive, so that the Internet surfing players have a certain exploration interest, to discover, I think this can make us obediently pay 30,000 US dollars." ”

This time the two young Americans were even more excited.

"yes, why can't we give the web more features?" I have to say, that's a great idea. ”

Fan Yang didn't expect that he would go all the way to the United States and point out these high-end talents in a few words.

It is indeed high-end.

Because today's semiconductors still belong to cutting-edge science, high-energy physics.

Even in the nineties, this kind of talent is calculated on an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.

Fan Yang thought for a while: "In this way, can you get me a pen and paper, and I will draw what I want for you." ”

The other party really brought paper and pen, and Fan Yang drew a rough sketch for them according to the most humble website template in later generations.

It contains a banner on the first screen, a horizontal navigation bar, a behavior request button, and even a large picture carousel, and the company's business display also puts forward more requirements, and at least 4 sub-pages are planned, which are company introduction, business scope, successful cases, and the last one is "Contact us." ”

Make it clear to them that the buttons must be designed in a regular geometric shape, filled with bright colors, and lettered in the buttons.

"Is there a colored pen that you can color? I'd like to give you a rough idea of the color. ”

At this time, Paul Allen, William White, was already half bowed on the table, watching intently.

Wen Yan raised his head: "Okay, okay, I'll look for it right away." ”

After looking around, I rushed downstairs to buy colored pens for Fan Yang.

Fan Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

In fact, there is no shortage of technology in this era, and there is a lack of ideas, and a small web page also needs to be designed.

At this time, they were too limited by dogma.

I always think that the role of the web page is a tool like a CERN-like phone book, and there is no beauty at all.

Fan Yang can be said to have taught them a good lesson.

It's no wonder William White was so excited.

Don't underestimate this navigation bar, this concept of hiding and switching, at least until the Web 2.0 era gradually matures.

THE SAME GOES FOR ABOVE-THE-FOLD BANNERS.

After the colored pen was bought, Fan Yang painted some colors, and in order to conform to the inertial aesthetics of Americans, he deliberately chose a red and blue color scheme, which looked and felt a lot better.

William White held the manuscript paper and was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Genius design, the web page that comes out of this way, will definitely make me famous in one fell swoop, I want to officially apply to you for the exclusive license of this design, can you?"

Fan Yang was stunned.

These Americans are also very stereotypical.

If you draw it and use it up, who can hold you accountable?

Li Qilin thought differently, Americans attach great importance to intellectual property rights, and there is a reason for this, and he interjected next to him: "But you can, but you have to give us a discount on the website fee." ”

Paul Aaron nodded, "Of course, if you can license this design to me, I can waive the hosting fee for you for a year, do you think it's OK?"

$30,000, including $6,000 per year for escrow fees, discounted to only $24,000.

These Americans are quite generous.

I didn't expect to talk about the price of $6,000.

It's 30,000 yuan, which is not a small tree.

A group of people were also overjoyed.

The website is made by Gao Lu, the company name is hung on his company, coupled with Fan Yang's good sketching skills, the drawn web page is better than the previous phone book like the web page.

The more Gao Lu looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "By the way, the money is not unjustly spent." ”

Fan Yang asked: "Can you achieve the key technical aspect?"

William White waved his hand and said: "In terms of technology, I will find a way to overcome it, and I will try my best." ”

After a pause, William White's eyes began to light up again, and he asked weakly, "If I can meet your requirements, can I use your website to compete?"

"What kind of competition?" asked Fan Yang.

"This year's Harvard School of Design Web Design Competition. ”

"Harvard University?" Fan Yang felt fainted: "You are a top student at Harvard?"

But I didn't expect William White to nod directly: "Well, I am from the Department of Applied Science of Harvard College of Arts and Sciences, with an eight-year master's and doctoral program, and I came out for an internship this year." ”

This name was thrown out, and the four of them were shocked together.

Especially Fan Yang.

I can't help but sigh that the Internet in the 93s is indeed a gathering place for high-end talents.

The way he looked at William White changed.

Fan Yang agreed without thinking about it: "Yes, but I ask for a joint signature, as long as it is written after your name." ”

William White nodded repeatedly.

Fan Yang remembered something: "You haven't graduated yet? So is there a way to help me inquire about someone?"

William White said, "Who's inquiring? Is it Bill Gates?"

Fan Yang smiled and shook his head: "No, I asked about a Chinese student, I don't think there should be many Chinese students, right?"

William White suddenly felt a lot more relaxed: "Well, if there are really not many Chinese students, which college is he in?"

Fan Yang picked at his head: "I don't know, I only know the name, it's Shao Yibo, can you find a way to help me find out?"
