After Du Qiu left, Chen Dayou sat in front of the computer, and studied the browser that didn't even have a name from beginning to end, the more he studied, the more he admired, the more he admired, the more frightened he was, the more excited he was, he tried to smoke to relieve his excitement, and after smoking two cigarettes, he found it useless, so he stood up, took the computer chair as Du Qiu, kicked it to the ground, and scolded angrily with all his strength: "!"

I swore that I wanted to be an open source browser, but I only brought a runner to show me, and there was not a single line of source code!

What's the difference between giving you a safe full of gold, silver and jewels, but not giving you the keys!

Chen Dayou didn't understand his hatred after scolding, and kicked again, but kicked the hardwood on the side, the chair was fine, but his toes hurt his heart, tears were about to flow out, and his excitement suddenly turned into annoyance, so he completely calmed down, limped out of the study, sat cross-legged on the sofa with no image, put the telephone next to him, rubbed his toes, and dialed Chen Zhiyang's office phone in a hands-free manner.

"Dayou, how was your conversation with Du Qiu today?"

"Dad, I can't talk to him. ”

"What? Does he not write in the browser or not?"

"It's not that you can't write it, it's not that you can't write it, it's that you can't write it. Chen Dayou was a little depressed, he didn't know what to say, and after a pause, he said honestly: "Dad, the browser he wrote is better than Netscape, and my 1 million has no room to bargain with him, not to mention the 60% of the shares expected before, even 10% depends on whether people are willing to give charity." ”

Chen Zhiyang coughed twice uncontrollably, his originally gentle and elegant voice became solemn and serious, and he questioned in a deep voice: "This is impossible, right?"

"You can get the best computer experts from Sanjiang University to come to me, and it's really very well written, and he has created his own programming language for browsers. Chen Dayou's heart moved when he said this, picked up the microphone of the phone, and said loudly: "Dad, you'd better come and see it in person, Du Qiu wrote not only a software, but also created a new technology, this new technology is very important, for the Internet industry, it's like ......"

He knew that although Chen Zhiyang knew some computer and Internet terms, he didn't really understand the industry, so he quickly went through the knowledge about physics in his mind, and then chose a very exaggerated analogy: "It's as important as Einstein published the theory of relativity!"

I don't know if it's because the 1 million didn't produce the expected effect, or because Chen Dayou's analogy is too amazing, only about half an hour later, Chen Zhiyang brought three computer experts to the Institute of Quantum Physics.

One of the three experts is the director of the computer department of Sanjiang University, called Zeng Fanhao, who is in his 40s, has been transforming into an administrative job for several years, and is not sensitive to new technologies. This iscript is just a very simple scripting language, and it is a hodgepodgepodge of copying and copying, the basic syntax is similar to the C language, the regular expressions are similar to the Perl language, the string and array processing is similar to the Python language, and there are no key functions such as modules and subtypes, so it can't do big projects and has no practical use. ”

Historically, Netscape originally called the design language livescript, because Java is a registered trademark of Sun company, and the rest of the programming languages cannot be used, and later changed to JavaScript with the authorization of Sun company.

The other two experts are relatively young, both in their early 30s, one is an associate professor who has just been promoted, and the other is a doctor who has returned from studying in the United States. iscript said at the beginning of the document that it is a language specifically designed for web pages, and it is not intended to be a big project, so try to pursue simplicity and conciseness, and deliberately give up a lot of unnecessary features, I think the design is very good, flexible and easy to use, very suitable for use on the Internet, and it will definitely become a very popular language in the future. ”

The associate professor was more tactful, did not work on the programming language, but said a sentence that the president and the director were very concerned about: "This browser is indeed not ordinary, not only technically belongs to the international first-class level, but also the product itself also fills the domestic gap, the country is currently vigorously promoting the construction of network facilities, but both hardware and software are imported from abroad, if we can have a browser of our own......"

This guy knows the rules very well, he only said half of the words and didn't say anything, let the two leaders play for themselves, Zeng Fanhao and Chen Zhiyang glanced at each other, and then asked with understanding: "You two are the best people in our computer department, can you write a similar browser?"

"I'm a researcher of embedded systems, and I'm not familiar with the Internet. The associate professor was very self-aware, pushed the sea to return to the top tank, and said: "To write a browser, you must understand network technology, especially various network protocols, and Xiao Zhou knows more about this aspect." ”

"There are a lot of technologies involved in the browser, and I may not be able to write it in a year, and even if I can write it, it is not as good as this. The returnee shook his head again and again and said, "In a year's time, this browser may have become the industry standard like Netscape's scape-navigator, and there is no way to compete with it. ”

Chen Zhiyang took out a fine silver cigarette case, took out a few cigarettes, stood up, handed it over in the posture of Corporal Lixian, and asked: "When I talked to a few American friends on the phone recently, I heard them talk about Netscape, can you tell me more about this company?"

Although he asked everyone questions, everyone knew that these words were for returnees, so they didn't say anything, and gave up the opportunity to perform, so the returnee doctor introduced the founder and development history of Netscape with a mouthful of words, and then summarized with admiration: " Netscape is equivalent to Apple in the 70s, Microsoft in the 80s, not only first-class technical strength, but also very innovative, Apple invented the personal computer, Microsoft rewrote the rules of software, Netscape defined the Internet, are great companies that have changed the history of the IT industry. ”

"I heard that they are now preparing to go public, if they do, what do you think the market value will be?"

"I don't know much about going public or anything like that, but a friend who returned to China to visit relatives during the Spring Festival told me that before Netscape launched Scape-Navigator last year, PKCB, a well-known venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, invested $5 million to buy a 20% stake in them, which was worth $25 million at the time. Although the returnee doesn't know much about investment, he still knows the basic concept, he took a puff of cigarette and added: "After the launch of scape-navigator in December last year, it swept the world and occupied a dominant position in the browser market, although it is not profitable yet, but the prospects are very good, so I think if it is really listed, the market value should be hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

"So if this browser is launched, will it be as popular as Netscape's products?"

"That's for sure!" The returnee did not hesitate at all, and said categorically: "This browser is more convenient to use than Netscape, and there is an additional iscript engine, which can allow the content of the page to interact dynamically with the user, which is equivalent to the web page has a soul, from a dead thing to a living thing, with epoch-making significance, the person who wrote this browser is definitely a genius programmer." ”

Zeng Fanhao has been in China all his life, Netscape and listing and other things are too far away, just like the clouds on the horizon, he pays more attention to the actual benefits that this browser can bring to himself, and turned his head to ask Chen Dayou, who was sitting on the side without speaking, and said: "Dayou, what is the origin of this friend of yours?

"No, it's a self-taught genius who didn't even go to middle school. ”

Zeng Fanhao's smoking hand shook, his jaw fell to the ground in surprise, shouting impossible, and the other two experts also shouted impossible, insisting that these techniques are definitely not self-taught and learned, returnees were the most excited, and said: "Writing a browser requires very deep Internet knowledge, not to mention the Internet in China, there are not many local area networks, how to learn by yourself!"

Chen Zhiyang waved his hand, stopped Chen Dayou's intention to explain, and said very vaguely: "This person's name is Du Qiu, I once met him, he used to work in Japan, while self-studying, while stealing, Japan's network is very developed, and he is relatively talented, so he learned a lot of skills and came back." ”

"How old is this man now?"

"I'm about 22 years old, I'm still very young, about the same as a senior in school. ”

Zeng Fanhao is Chen Zhiyang's old subordinate, and he is very good at figuring out his intentions, and he knows the elegance after listening to the string songs, and patted his thigh and proposed: "President Chen, since you know this Du Qiu, why don't you make a special case and recruit him to our computer department to study? The university pays attention to teaching without class, and does not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, such a good talent cannot be wasted!"

Chen Zhiyang smiled very implicitly, and said with an expression that he had already had this intention: "Dayou and Du Qiu are very good friends, I specially took him to the school office to introduce me to him a while ago, I talked to him, I feel that he is indeed a rare talent, and I was moved to love talents at that time, but it is only March now, and the enrollment work will not start until July and August, so I didn't mention it to Director Zeng, since Director Zeng also has such thoughts, I will talk to him in a few days to see if he is interested." ”

"When the time comes, President Chen will inform me, and I will personally persuade him. ”

"That's for sure. ”

Chen Zhiyang sent the three experts away on the grounds that the father and son were reunited for dinner together, and said to Chen Dayou: "This Du Qiu is not simple, he is a real genius, the future is limitless, 10% is 10%, if you have a good relationship with him, you may get far more benefits than money in the future." ”

Seeing that he had agreed to invest, Chen Dayou relaxed, and said with a smile: "Dad, Du Qiu doesn't even pay attention to the Beijing University I studied, I'm afraid I won't go to your school to study." ”

"I'm just having a good relationship with him. Chen Zhiyang also smiled and said: "The program he writes in a month, the best teacher in our school can't write it in a year, what else can he learn well?

After laughing, he sighed and explained: "Sanjiang University's humanities have always been stronger than science and engineering, and if I, the executive vice president of science, can't make some achievements, I'll never want to remove that subordinate." The school is ready to upgrade the computer department to the computer school next semester, the Ministry of Education has approved it, and now there is a lack of a leading figure, Du Qiu's four articles gave me a new idea, and after you make the browser, I plan to invite him to be a guest lecturer, to make the computer school bigger and stronger, and become the signboard of Sanjiang University. ”

"Dad, you're too whimsical, Du Qiu is only 22 years old, how can you be the leader?"

"Science and engineering are disciplines that are only about strength, regardless of seniority, Newton invented calculus at the age of 22, and Einstein was only 21 years old when he published his first paper. Chen Zhiyang patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Dayou, those four articles are far from being as simple as you think, they are not only technical papers, but also political papers, which are of great use, and are of great use!"
