Driving on the highway of Silicon Valley, you can see world-class universities such as Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, as well as famous multinational companies such as Intel, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, etc., which are almost household names even in China, and of course, some high-tech small companies based on famous universities in Silicon Valley.

At the beginning of the second year, when Lei Jun set foot in this river valley with Li Yan and Qiu Bojun's entrustment to him, and established Taiji Software America here, not many people paid attention to it, because almost every day in Silicon Valley, many companies of the same size as Taiji Software America were established, and of course, many such small companies declared bankruptcy.

After New Year's Day, Taiji Software held a software conference, at which Taiji Software desktop office was officially launched, and began to be sold in some software stores in Silicon Valley Attracted by the beauty pattern, it may also be attracted by its low price, and even by some large companies interested in the malicious slander of Tai Chi software, of course, there are also office staff of scientific research institutions who have used the beta version of Tai Chi software, in short, these people have become the first batch of users of Tai Chi office software.

When Tai Chi Software relies on its "colorful" design and pioneering "nature" When the function of Xun won an excellent reputation among these users, and soon after it appeared on the Silicon Valley software sales list, and became the software of choice for desktop office software in Silicon Valley and even the United States, the industry also began to circulate the news that Tim Berners, the master of the World Wide Web, was also full of praise for the software and the news that Taiji Software had refused Microsoft's high-priced acquisition, until this time, Taiji Software America really began to enter the field of vision of Silicon Valley IT people, and the company's CEO Lei Jun also became a hot IT upstart in Silicon Valley for a time.

It can be said that Tai Chi Software has gained a firm foothold in Silicon Valley with its Tai Chi desktop office system, and Lei Jun himself is a person who is good at management and public relations, which is Li Yan and Qiu Bo The military is beyond reach, which is also the main reason why Li Yan decided to send him to the United States alone, of course, Lei Jun did not disappoint the two, he relied on the Tai Chi desktop office system to successfully become the official designated office software in New Jersey This opportunity, a lot of publicity and public relations on Tai Chi software, in the first half of this year, two states have announced that the Tai Chi desktop office system as the official designated office software, and according to Lei Jun's report to Li Yan, he is confident that the Tai Chi desktop office system will appear in the software procurement list of more state government fu next year。

Time passed to the end of July 1993, more than half a year from the Taiji desktop office system, Taiji Software except for the establishment of an electrical laboratory and the recently announced establishment of the "operation" system opening, there was no other move, and in the eyes of Silicon Valley IT "Jing" Ying, although Taiji Software became famous with an excellent desktop office software, it does not mean that it has the "operation" The strength of the system, and the electric laboratory established by Taiji Software did not attract anyone's attention, because in Silicon Valley, there are not 10,000 laboratories funded by companies like this, but there are thousands of them, but none of them could have imagined that the huge ambition contained in the establishment of the electric laboratory and the opening of the "operation" system by Taiji Software will be regarded as a joke even if they know about it.

On July 28th, all the members of Taiji Software USA were very excited, because the day before they were told that the real founder of the company, Mr. Li Yan, had arrived in San Jose, and today he would come to the company to meet you in person, and now the company's two bigwigs, Lei Jun and Steve, have personally greeted you at the hotel.

For this person who has never been "dewed" since the company's inception The mysterious big boss who met him, the company's employees up to some of the company's senior executives, down to the cleaners are very curious, because from the first day of the company's establishment, there are various versions of rumors about this big boss, some say that he is an unsmiling elder, and some say that he is a computer genius boy, just like Bill Gates, who founded Microsoft, of course, what this big boss is like, except for the company's current CEO Lei Jun and CTO Steve, no one knows, and these two are also secretive about this big boss, so that it is for this big boss"Blinded" with a veil of mystery, and this veil of mystery will be completely lifted today.

Just when all the employees of the company were looking forward to Li Yan's arrival, Li Yan was sitting in a Ford business car and talking to Lei Jun Steve, although Lin Dan had rested for a night because of the time difference, he was still a little groggy, so it was much quieter than usual.

Along the way, Steve, who acted as the driver, talked to Li Yan about some of the circumstances after he and Li Yan separated, including some research done on Shuanglong Island with the support of Long Jun and the construction of the laboratory after coming to the United States, when Li Yan heard that Steve had "refined" the core of the ghost "operation" system according to their original idea, he successfully wrote a ROM chip, and made the first model that can carry out the second generation of G** When the circuit board of communication, he was very excited, you must know that this is the prototype of the future generation of smart phones, in the world even the United States such a large country mobile communications are still in the first generation of analog signals and the second generation of digital signals at the time of transition, Steve's research has come to the forefront of the world, of course, now Li Yan will not make this achievement public, because the time is far from now.

Soon, the Ford business car drove to an office building less than 30 kilometers away from San Jose, there was a row of flags fluttering in the wind, there was the flag of Taiji Software USA, the light blue "color" flag was printed with the logo of Taiji Software, the logo was designed to be drawn with a "Mao" pen to intertwine the "Yin" Yang Fish, "Yin" Yang Fish below the English name of Tai Chi Software, also "Mao" pen written words, so very national "color" The flag is particularly conspicuous among the many flags, so Li Yan can immediately see it fluttering in the wind as soon as he gets out of the car, as if welcoming his arrival.

Looking at this flag designed by himself, the corners of Li Yan's mouth "revealed" a satisfied smile, the design of the Tai Chi software flag in order to avoid conflict with the "stick" flag, at first really made him entangled, but the final design of this flag is still very satisfied, and the logo of Tai Chi software has also changed from the ordinary "yin" yang fish he designed at the beginning to the current one when the flag was designed.

"Soon we will also want to have their own independent office parks like those large multinational companies, and according to our strategic plan, this day will not be too long. Li Yan said as he walked into the office building accompanied by Lei Jun and Steve.

"I also believe that this day will come soon. Lei Jun said with a smile, after coming to the United States for more than a year, watching Taiji Software America grow step by step from scratch to the present, he is also full of hope and confidence in the future of Taiji Software.

The office area of Taiji Software occupies the entire floor of the seventeenth floor of the office building, and the employees of Taiji Software are basically gathered in this semi-open office area, each of whom has a completely independent office area that is completely separated, and once this area is assigned to an employee, all the layout inside is arranged by the employees themselves, and the public area of the office area is decorated with many green plants and fresh flowers, and a glass "door" in the office area is walked through On the other side is an area for employees to rest, which provides coffee, cola and other drinks, and you can sit in it while drinking coffee while overlooking the street view downstairs and the river flowing slowly in the distance like a "jade" belt through the huge glass window.

When Li Yan followed Lei Jun and Steve to the public area of the office area, most of the company's employees were already waiting there, and when they saw Li Yan walking between Lei Jun and Steve, they knew that the young man walking in the middle was the mysterious boss of the company, and the young man of the boss also deeply shocked everyone present, so they applauded together.

"Li Yan, let me tell you a few words. Lei Jun said.

Li Yan did not postpone it, came to the crowd, raised his hand to signal the employees to be quiet, first introduced himself in standard English, and then expressed a short and "exciting" speech, especially Li Yan solemnly introduced Lin Dan who had been silently following him to all the staff, and mentioned that this time Lin Dan brought a revolutionary "sex" product to everyone, which attracted more warm applause.

After the brief meeting, Lei Jun called several executives of the company to the company's conference room, and introduced them to Li Yan one by one, these executives who are many years older than Li Yan did not show any contempt because of Li Yan's age, on the contrary, they all showed enough respect for Li Yan, because they know that the IT industry has always been a place full of miracles, and this industry has always been a paradise for young entrepreneurs, and there are many young people in Silicon Valley who can build companies and succeed at Li Yan's age。

After listening to the brief report of these executives on the content they are responsible for, Li Yan made a brief speech, at the end of the speech he directly mentioned that the company's future exhibition will gradually be divided into several directions, office software as a traditional project of Taiji software will continue to occupy a very important position, of course, the focus of office software is still in China, Taiji software is currently another focus of the exhibition will be the upcoming establishment of the "operation" system opening, and one of the main purposes of his visit to the United States is to "operate" As the creation of the opening of the system, the third focus of the exhibition is the Internet information service industry, and this will become a major profit growth point of Taiji Software in the future, and the entry point of Taiji Software into the Internet industry is a software brought by the little girl sitting next to him......

Li Yan did not delve into the second and third issues, and of course he did not mention the topic of smart terminals researched by Steve's electrical laboratory, because it involves the core secrets of many companies, and it is not yet the time to disclose them to these executives.

After this high-level meeting, only Li Yan, Lin Dan, Lei Jun, and Steve were left in the conference room, and Li Yan stood up and said to Steve: "Dear Steve, let's go to your laboratory to have a look, I am very interested in your research results." ”
