In the middle and early 20th century, the big bang of quantum physics advanced by leaps and bounds, which can be described as a climax and shook the world, and in the middle and late 20th century, it entered a low tide period of reflection and accumulation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is just a joke, if it is really a place for the elderly, it is impossible for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to go to great lengths to connect the institute to the Internet as soon as possible.

In fact, the Institute of Quantum Physics was established when it was engaged in the construction of the third line, specializing in the study of theoretical work related to nuclear weapons, so it was highly valued, and there were several academician-level bulls sitting here, but later passed away, transferred away, and in 1995, only Hou Chengzong, an academician, remained here.

After the domestic situation and the international situation eased in the 80s, the Institute of Quantum Physics changed from a confidential institution with military colors to a scientific research and teaching base under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was gradually known to the general public, but even so, the security work of the institute was still very strict, and a pass was required to enter and exit.

The scientific research base was originally insulated from business, and Snapdragon Software Company was able to put a temporary office here, firstly, because of the relationship between Chen's father and son, and secondly, the institute had just opened the Internet, and it was just in need of knowledgeable experts to train teachers and students.

"Hey, Mr. Du, these reporters are really capable, and they came to the door so quickly. ”

Du Qiu, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and saw several reporters with cameras arguing with the security guards at the gate of the research institute, so he lowered his seat to avoid being seen from the outside, and said, "Drive in directly, don't worry about them." ”

Jiang Danfeng has been in and out frequently in the past few days, and he is familiar with security, he didn't even show his pass, and he was immediately released as soon as he arrived at the door, several reporters were very clever, although they couldn't see the people in the car clearly, but they guessed that it was related to Snapdragon Software Company, and raised the camera to shoot wildly at the butt of the car.

"Mr. Du, these reporters have even found the research institute, will they harass Sister Chunhua?"

"If you go to the company to harass, my sister can't ask for it, just use their pen to advertise for free, but no one is allowed to harass at home, and when you go to the train station to pick up Li Jianhua, first go to our house downstairs and at the door to post a few notices. After thinking for a while, Du Qiu said the content of the notice: "No reporter is allowed to enter without an invitation, otherwise, it will ...... How do you think it's better to threaten?"

Jiang Danfeng was aroused by the sentence downstairs and at the door of our house, and said viciously: "Otherwise, the house will be restless and the job will not be guaranteed!"

"You're ruthless enough. Du Qiu laughed and said: "Even if the house is restless, even if it is a gangster in the underworld, he also pays attention to a disaster that will not affect his family, and he only writes about his job." ”

"Good. ”

The company's office is located in the innermost part of the research institute, which is a material warehouse built when preparing for war and famine, with a simple appearance, thick walls, and a very large internal space, with more than 1,000 square meters, but there are not many windows, only four, which looks a little dim, which is diametrically opposed to the warehouse of "Wired" magazine.

After Du Qiu rented this warehouse, he only did three things, the first thing was to clean the inside and out, the second thing was to place several rows of fluorescent lamps in the form of a suspended ceiling, and the third thing was to buy some high-end desks, chairs and equipment, which were randomly arranged into four areas as the offices of various working groups.

This arrangement is very simple, but Du Qiu is intentional, he gave Qin Mu and Xiao Wu 18 recruitment places, he will recruit a few fresh graduates in Yuncheng, now the company is creating, there is neither a human resources department, nor a staff training department, so many newcomers come in, the quality is high and low, the ability is strong and weak, put everything on the table, break the perfunctory and cover space, can quickly eliminate the character or ability does not meet the requirements of the staff, but also can be used to hear and see, words and deeds to train employees, to change their way of thinking as quickly as possible, improve the technical level。

When Du Qiu walked into the warehouse, Xu Yongrui was sitting in front of a computer in the office software development zone, chatting with Yuan Tiangang while reading the code, he came by plane this morning, and there was a beautiful girl who came with him, it is said that he temporarily hooked up to travel to Cloud City, and he left after a few days.

Yuan Tiangang was not recruited by Du Qiu, but by Chen Dayou, he wanted to take advantage of the low labor cost in China a while ago, collect URLs from Yahoo and other popular websites, make a homepage and bundle it to iview, originally planned to let Chen Dawei do it, but Chen Dawei disliked it too cumbersome, and there was no technical content, so he handed it over to Yuan Tiangang, this guy is not only full of energy, but also very opportunistic, very suitable for Chen Dayou's temperament, so he recruited him, specifically responsible for miscellaneous work, do some low-tech things.

"Mr. Du. ”

"Da Yuan, do your own thing, don't greet me. ”

Du Qiu stopped Yuan Tiangang's unnecessary polite welcome, walked straight to the innermost computer on the right, opened the email sending and receiving software after turning on the phone, and prepared to send a few emails, while Jiang Danfeng typed a notice next to him, made a few copies and left.

When Du Qiu went to the United States at the end of March, the four open source software articles published in January were still only circulating in a small circle of programmers, but after the release of the iView browser, the newly coined English term "open-source" quickly heated up, and appeared frequently in the mainstream media reports in the industry, which greatly boosted Du Qiu's popularity.

Du Qiu's email list already has hundreds of friends, including many world-renowned top programmers and computer experts, and it is convenient for him to do things with more friends, so he didn't need Chen Dayou to contact the copyright at all, and he wrote an email wanting to translate "C Programming Language Design", and sent it to a few friends who work at Princeton University and Bell Labs, asking them to help contact the two authors of the book.

After sending, Du Qiu began to read the newly received emails, the United States implemented daylight saving time in May, the time difference between Yuncheng and San Jose was one hour less, when he went to Sanjiang University at 11 o'clock in the morning, it was 8 o'clock in the evening on May 1 in the United States, as we all know, many programmers are night owls and like to work at night, so they received dozens of emails in just four or five hours.

In 1995, there were almost no spam emails, and each one had something to say, some discussed theories, some asked questions, some applied for interviews, and some invited speeches.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 1, Western time, Chen Dayou upgraded the version of the iView browser from 1.2 to 1.3, there is no change in the function, but the built-in icard homepage of his own business, the home page is very simple, and the 21st century domestic rogue navigation websites are the same, the top and left and right sides are advertising areas, and the middle is the promotion area, divided into "news", "company", "finance" and "sports" and more than a dozen small columns, each column put 8 websites, of which the names of the first 3 websites use iscript to make a vulgar dynamic effect, suggesting to users that these three websites are very popular.

The first email was the good news, saying that the 1.3 version of the iview browser had more than 30,000 downloads in 12 hours, which was a lot more than expected.

The iView browser was originally only released in the Windows version, and Du Qiu released the DOS version before leaving San Jose, and then it was soon ported to different operating systems such as FreeBSD, Linux and Unix, and circulated everywhere in a divergent state, according to the information released by several data research companies in the United States at the end of April, the iView browser has about 45-500,000 users, accounting for 8% of the global browser market The share of the left and right, although far less than Netscape's scape-navigator, is growing at a very impressive rate.

If it weren't for Netscape's eagerness for quick success, and charging upgrade fees and bugs, how could iView be so easy to get up......

It doesn't matter if the product is not good, as long as the peers set off well, you can make a lot of money......

Chen Dayou originally planned to charge $8,000 for three banner ads, $3,000 for the top three websites, and $2,000 for the bottom five websites for a month, which is very black in China, but very conscientious in the United States, you must know that the official website of Wired magazine has only about 1,000 hits per day, and the price of a month's homepage advertising banners is as high as $15,000.

But in this email, Chen Dayou changed his mind, because he learned a new advertising model from a search engine company called Infoseek, which is to charge by the number of views and clicks, charging $20 per 1,000 views and $50 per 1,000 clicks.

Infoseek is one of the world's four major search engines in the mid-to-late 90s, and Yahoo, Lycos, and Excite staged a brutal search engine war around 1997, and the result of the war directly gave birth to the birth of the "portal", and the main profit model of the portal is to rely on thousands of views or clicks to collect advertising fees.

At first glance, I could see the value of my four articles, then I could see at a glance the business opportunities of being a browser, and now I could see at a glance which charging model was better......

This fat man's eyes are really vicious......

At the end of the email, Chen Dayou informed Du Qiu in a mocking way, saying that Zhou Yuan had arrived in San Jose, and felt that he finally had a little brother to command, and he was no longer alone.

Zhou Yuan was active in the capital for two months before, and helped Snapdragon Software gain popularity in China with his bare hands, and now Snapdragon Software has moved from the capital to Cloud City, and has entered a down-to-earth state of hard work, and there is no need to blow up balloons for the time being, so he was sent to the United States to help Chen Dayou take charge of media communication and advertising and marketing business.

After Du Qiu read the first email sent by Chen Dayou, he clicked on the second one, which was sent an hour ago, and the content was very simple, just a few words: You are on "Wired"!
