Chapter Sixty-Eight: Morning Exercise and Acquisition

"Didi, Didi......"

"Bastard!"

"Pig's head!"

Just arrived at 5:40 in the morning, Jiang Danfeng was woken up by the alarm clock, she put her head in the quilt, muttered and scolded Du Qiu a few times, sighed and climbed out of bed, hurriedly washed up, tied her loose hair into a ponytail, put on a set of red and white sportswear, went to the kitchen to cut a few fruits to make a salad, and then went up to the second floor with a plate, knocked on the door of a guest room on the left side of the corridor, and asked softly: "Du Qiu, are you up?"

"Come in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Jiang Danfeng pushed open the door and saw that Du Qiu was dressed neatly and was standing by the bed on the phone, seeing him smiling and whispering, the opposite should be his sister's little nephew, so he put the dinner plate on the bedside table and said, "I'll also go and call home." ”

"Good. ”

Jiang Danfeng was just avoiding suspicion and indicating that he would not eavesdrop, but after returning to his bedroom, looking at the unfamiliar room, touching the bed with residual warmth, he suddenly missed his taciturn father and chattering mother, so he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Yuncheng's hometown, anyway, the phone bill was paid by Du Qiu, and he didn't call in vain, just to take revenge on his desperate tossing and squeezing in the past few days.

Because of the time difference, 6 o'clock in the morning in San Jose is 10 o'clock in the evening in Cloud City, the parents have already fallen asleep, and after being woken up, I heard that my daughter is going home from the United States for international calls, and she is very happy and excited, and even her father, who usually doesn't talk much, has become verbose, and told a lot of childish and simple trivial things, Jiang Danfeng couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, but after getting up, the mood that had been very bad changed inexplicably for the better, and the whole person was refreshed.

In the past, when she was at school, she never called home for more than 3 minutes, but this time she called for nearly 10 minutes, and she still had no intention of hanging, until Du Qiu came over and knocked on the door and asked, "Is the fight over?"

"Dad, I have something to do now, I'll call you next time. ”

"Okay, okay, you have to be safe in the United States. I hung up. ”

Du Qiu was still wearing the red and black training clothes of the Bulls, but changed to a pair of lighter professional running shoes, and after the two ate fruit salad, they went out to exercise, but the way of exercising was different, one running, the other cycling.

No way, Du Qiu has a buff blessing, after more than a month of exercise, he can easily run five or six thousand meters every morning, and Jiang Danfeng has no buff, and he has never exercised, he is tired and out of breath after running 800 meters, and if he is in China, he can leave it alone if he can't run, but abroad, although San Jose is one of the safest cities in the United States, after all, he is not familiar with life, and it is not very safe to leave his sister alone on the street, so let her follow by bicycle, anyway, riding a bicycle is also a kind of exercise.

In the future, it will be more and more busy, and there will be many things, and the secretary will not be able to be delicate and frail......

Jiang Danfeng didn't know Du Qiu's intentions, thinking that accompanying the boss for morning exercises was the job of a private secretary, she faced the breeze, bathed in the morning sun, and after riding a bicycle on the streets of a foreign country for a while, she suddenly had a romantic feeling, looked down at her red and white sportswear, and then looked up at the red and black sportswear in front of her, although the style and color matching were completely different, but no matter how you look at it, it feels like a couple's outfit.

This bastard might be really interesting to me......

Otherwise, why let me ride a bicycle to exercise with him every morning, and there is no business to do in the early morning, isn't it the same to run alone......

Jiang Danfeng was inexplicably a little excited, and wanted to play a prank, but he felt that it was not appropriate, and he suppressed it for a while, but finally did not suppress it, so he stepped on the pedal twice, accelerated the speed of the car and caught up with Du Qiu from behind, kicked him lightly with his toes, imitated the lines in "Forrest Gump", and said in English: "Ah Qiu, run!run!"

Du Qiu turned his head to look at her, and then really quickened his pace, Jiang Danfeng smiled, like a little girl who had just learned to play a game, he chased after him every once in a while and kicked it, one ran, one chased, and the two ran back and forth around the road near the residence in the form of a switchback run, about 5,000 meters, the mileage was about the same as yesterday, but the time was five or six minutes shorter.

When he returned to the door of the residence, Du Qiu took off the sweat-stained electronic watch, threw it to Jiang Danfeng, and said, "Write down the time, and urge me in the back every morning in the future, and strive to increase the speed a little bit every day." ”

"You've been running fast today. ”

"Not fast enough. Du Qiu wiped the sweat on his forehead with the palm of his hand, crossed his waist and ordered: "Go and check what the standard for national second-level athletes to run 5,000 meters is, make a table with my results today as the bottom line, every 10 seconds, strive to improve one gear every day, and remind me when I reach the standard, and then start running 10,000 meters." ”

Jiang Danfeng didn't know why, and asked, "Why do you want to do this?"

"Because I'm going to the Olympics. ”

Jiang Danfeng originally thought that Du Qiu was joking, but seeing that his expression was serious, it didn't seem like a joke, so he agreed suspiciously, saying that he would check it out as soon as he returned to China, but he felt in his heart that he was really a madman disguised as a normal person as Chen Dayou's friends said.

As soon as the two returned to the residence, they saw Chen Dayou holding a sandwich, his hands raised high, standing in front of the computer in the living room and dancing tango, his fat body and weird dance steps were quite funny, Jiang Danfeng couldn't help laughing, coughed lightly, and asked: "Mr. Chen, look at your energetic appearance, you finally fell asleep last night?"

Chen Dayou was serious in front of strangers, but very indecent in front of acquaintances, he hooked his fingers, made a dandy-style teasing gesture, and asked: "Jiang Meiren, do you know how many downloads our iview has?"

“500?1000?1500?”

Jiang Danfeng guessed three numbers in a row, all of them were wrong, Chen Dayou stopped selling guanzi, took a bite of the sandwich, and announced: "It's 2117 times!"

This number can only be said to be shabby and pitiful in 2016, but in 1995 it was a figure far beyond expectations, Du Qiu was a little surprised, and said while wiping his sweat with a towel: "I thought it would be good to have 1000, but I didn't expect it to be doubled, and sure enough, the power of the water army with a monthly salary of 10,000 is different." ”

"Actually, it's not exactly what you said, Zhou Yuan's kid ran through the Chinese Academy of Sciences and all the universities in Beijing that can access the Internet, and encouraged the administrators of the laboratory and the computer room to help download, and it is estimated that at least 500 downloads have been provided. Chen Dayou smiled and said: "Even if you remove the domestic water, there are still more than 1,600, which is much stronger than when 7-zip was released in January, when the number of downloads on the first day was less than 30, but two months later, there are at least hundreds of thousands of users around the world." ”

"Mr. Chen, your thing is free, even if hundreds of thousands of people use it, you still can't earn a dime, don't you get excited like this, right?"

"Jiang Meiren, let me tell you this, the browser is equivalent to a TV station, although it does not make money, but it can charge advertising fees, users are equivalent to audiences, the more people use it, the more businesses come to advertise, the more businesses you make, the more money you make. ”

This metaphor is very vivid, Jiang Danfeng finally understood what they were busy tossing these days, his eyes lit up, and he teased: "It seems that I have shouted the wrong name in the past few days, I shouldn't call you Mr. Chen, I should call you Director Chen." ”

"Forget about the director or something, Mr. Chen still listens comfortably. Chen Dayou saw Du Qiu go upstairs to take a bath, his eyes turned on her, and asked, "You are Du Qiu's secretary, why don't you call him Mr. Du?"

"I haven't signed a contract yet, it's a probationary period, and it's not too late to change my mind when I sign a formal contract when I return to China. Jiang Danfeng opened the refrigerator, took out eggs, bacon, toast and other ingredients from it, prepared to make a few Western-style breakfasts, and said while busy: "Mr. Chen, I don't have the ability of your friends, and the school's brand is not loud enough, you have to help me say a few more kind words in front of Du Qiu, don't let him cross the river and tear down the bridge, and dismiss me as soon as I return to China." ”

"I don't think he's a man who crosses a river and demolishes bridges...... You fry two eggs for me, this overnight vegetable sandwich is cold and unpalatable. Chen Dayou threw the sandwich with two bites into the trash, sat down in front of the computer and flipped through the email, and promised: "If Du Qiu dismisses you, you can come to me as a secretary, and the same monthly salary is 10,000 yuan." ”

"Now the secretary is so popular? I knew that I shouldn't have studied international trade in the first place, so I should go straight to learn secretarial. ”

"It's not the secretary who is popular, it's you who is popular. Chen Dayou turned his head and looked at her a few times, and said unscrupulously: "Your ability is worth 2,000 at most, your body is worth at least 8,000, 2,000 during the day, 8,000 at night, just 10,000 a month." ”

Jiang Danfeng was ashamed and annoyed, his wrist shook slightly, and he almost cut his finger with the dinner knife, but he quickly stabilized his mind and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, if you are your secretary, your monthly salary will be at least 16,000, because you are neither as good as Du Qiushuai, nor as good as his physical strength, your salary at night will be doubled." ”

Chen Dayou laughed, tapped her twice with his fingers, and said: "Yes, yes, Jiang Meiren, Du Qiu chose you to be the secretary, and sure enough, you didn't choose the wrong one, rest assured, with your hard work, he will definitely sign a long-term contract with you." ”

After breakfast, the group of three drove to Mountain View to formally visit and visit the headquarters of Netscape, this day Du Qiu was treated far more than yesterday, not only the company's co-founder Mark Anderson personally came forward to entertain, even the CEO Jim Barksdale in New York also called back to greet him, and said that he would fly back to Mountain View as soon as possible to meet him.

Du Qiu did not hide his selfishness, in the form of an open class, he explained the design ideas and implementation process of iView and iScript in detail from beginning to end, with a forward-looking strategic vision, a concise and rigorous programming style, and a selfless open source idea, which quickly convinced a large group of programmers with high IQ but low emotional intelligence, and became the second only to Bruce Lee in their hearts Oriental idols.

Of course, Jackie Chan had not yet entered Hollywood in 1995, and for most Americans, the entire East was just an idol of Bruce Lee......

However, in the eyes of businessmen, idols are used to make money, in addition to being a technical genius, Mark Anderson is also an outstanding businessman, after Netscape was sold to AOL for $4.2 billion in 1999, he continued to be active in Silicon Valley as a venture capitalist, participating in investments in famous IT companies such as Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etc., making a lot of money, both in terms of vision and means.

So after answering the technical questions from several programmers, Mark Anderson invited him to his office and said straight to the point: "Du, I want to buy your company." ”
