"After you left, I went to Lao Fan with the thesis on the expansion of the university, and wanted to ask him to help, but he first told me another thing, saying that according to the needs of the 211 Project, the upper side was going to withdraw our institute, and part of it would be merged with the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and part of it would be merged with the Department of Modern Physics of the University of Science and Technology. Hou Chengzong explained the ins and outs and said: "I see that the university town and software park you built are not far from Qingyun Mountain, if you are interested, you can buy the institute here, after all, there are so many buildings, it is a pity that they are abandoned." ”

Lao Fan is the person in charge of the research institute, and his news should not be wrong, Du Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and joked: "So that's the case, I thought Mr. Hou wanted me to invest in building an atomic bomb." ”

"You really have eyes on your head, and you tell you that if you put together all your possessions, and add a zero to the end, you can't build an atomic bomb. ”

"Even if I made it, I wouldn't dare to build it. Du Qiu smiled and asked, "There are a lot of houses in the institute, you have moved away, and there are no other units to move in?"

"The barren mountains and mountains here, the life is inconvenient, no one wants to come to live, the Polytechnic University dislikes the house is too old, it is troublesome to repair, and it does not want it. If I hadn't known that you were going to build a software park nearby, I wouldn't have bothered to mention it. Hou Chengzong understands the mentality of the rich very well, and said: "Rich people like to build villas or resorts in the ravines, and the environment here is good, so don't miss it." ”

Qingyun Mountain is not tall or big, but the vegetation is abundant, the strange stones are towering, the scenery is quite considerable, the location of the Institute of Quantum Physics is excellent, the surrounding forests are beautiful, quiet and elegant, it is indeed a very ideal place to build a villa, Du Qiu personally likes it, but he did not immediately agree, but said: "The university town and the software park have not been skimmed yet, I will go back to discuss with the experts in the city who do planning, and then give you a letter." ”

"Okay, don't delay it too long, Lao Fan said that we will start moving after the Spring Festival. ”

"I try. While driving, Du Qiu asked, "Does Mr. Hou plan to go to the capital or to the University of Science and Technology?"

"I haven't decided yet, the theoretical research in Beijing is better, and the experimental conditions in the Polytechnic University are better. Hou Chengzong sighed and said distressedly: "I have lived in Yuncheng for decades, and I am familiar with every grass and tree here, so I have long regarded this place as my hometown, and I don't want to leave, but my eldest son is in the capital, and my wife wants to go there to tease her grandson, so I am in a dilemma." ”

Hou Chengjiao has a good son, three sons are very promising, two of them went abroad, only the eldest stayed in China, and became the general manager of a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise in Beijing.

Not long after he finished here, Jiang Danfeng's phone began to ring, one after another, continuously, all of them were familiar netizens, praising her for singing well, and she was very moved.

"Looking at it like this, it should be that the song "My Dream" was uploaded to the forum last night. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Danfeng smiled and said proudly while texting: "Dai Yi said that the employees voted for the most popular program of the New Year's Day party in the forum, and "My Dream" and "Take-me-to-your-heart" ranked first and second. ”

"It's still early, let's go to the company and have a look. Du Qiu turned right on the steering wheel, drove towards the company, and asked, "What is Yang Fan's ranking?"

Jiang Danfeng sent a text message to Dai Yi, and got a reply after more than ten seconds, saying: "Mr. Yang ranks fourth, more than a dozen votes less than Xu Yongrui, and your harmonica solo ranks fifth." ”

"Yang Fan's saxophone level is very high, and it is normal to be more popular than me. Du Qiu was a little unconvinced, and said: "Xu Yongrui's magic tricks are all old-fashioned tricks, and he actually ranks higher than me." ”

"Xu Yongrui is more funny and wonderful than you can perform, you play the harmonica like a wooden man, of course you are not as popular as him. ”

In yesterday's New Year's Day party, there were a total of three programs that impressed Du Qiu, one was He Lixing's welding software park planning map, one Xu Yongrui performed how to use magic to pick up girls, and the other was Yang Fan's "The Price of Love" blown by the saxophone.

Xu Yongrui's personality is jumpy, he loves to play and make trouble, and it is not surprising to make a good show, Yang Fan usually does not smile, deep and cold, as tough as granite, and actually blows a song of love lingering and compassionate, turning a thousand times, which is shocking and changes the perception of many employees about him.

As for Du Qiumo, he performed three programs last night, one was to use the piano to accompany Jiang Danfeng to play "My Dream" on New Year's Eve, the other was to use the harmonica to blow a song "Cruel Angel's Program of Action", and the other was under the strong request of the employees, and Jiang Danfeng sang the English version of "Kiss Goodbye", either as a supporting role, or fried cold rice, purely paddling, one is not to rob Jiang Danfeng's demeanor, and the other is to feel that there is no need to compete with ordinary employees.

However, even in paddling, it still can't hide Du Qiu's "outstanding talent", lyrics and composition, piano and harmonica play casually, so that employees and netizens can't find other words to describe it except worship, so as soon as he arrived at the company, he learned that his online nickname was upgraded from "8 bosses" to "8 gods".

"Mr. Du, look, some netizens helped you draw a portrait. Zhao Hongfei pointed to a cartoon portrait wearing red pants on the computer screen and introduced: "This is based on a fighting game ...... Dongying."

"I know, Yagami in "The King of Fighters 95". ”

This netizen's painting level is good, combining Du Qiu's face with Yagami's body, and then beautifying it, turning into a super handsome guy with a deep face, sharp eyes, and explosive body. ”

"Write it down, Mr. Du has a new word. Zhao Hongfei shouted and said to his colleagues around him: "Hurry up and send it to the post of Mr. Du's quotations." ”

"Zhao Hongfei, you are really a sycophant among sycophants. ”

Since the end of May, after the company opened the forum, Du Qiu as long as he has the conditions to access the Internet, he will definitely log in to fill the water and the car, more than half a year, contributed dozens of Internet articles and hundreds of Internet buzzwords, such as "local tyrant", "tall", "soy sauce" and other words, and even appeared in some traditional media, a few guys in the company under Zhao Hongfei's prodding, he "created" the vocabulary to collect, and made a post called Mr. Du's quotations, which is quite popular, and is one of the top ten popular posts of the forum in 1995.

In June last year, the first batch of fresh undergraduates who joined Snapdragon totaled more than 30 people, Zhao Hongfei's talent and technology are the most outstanding, the disadvantage is that his personality is slippery, he likes to drill camps, he originally wanted to use Snapdragon as a springboard to develop in Silicon Valley, and later found that Snapdragon has great potential, so he stayed, and then under Du Qiu's cultivation, he became an important member of the browser research and development team.

In fact, strictly speaking, after iView was spun off, Zhao Hongfei was no longer an employee of Snapdragon, but an employee of iView's Chinese branch, but iView had not yet launched its business in China, and there were many spare offices in Snapdragon's headquarters, so they were temporarily working in the same place, but employee salaries and various expenses were no longer Snapdragon's finances.

"Don't make a fuss. Du Qiu picked up a reference book on the table, knocked on Zhao Hongfei's head, and said, "Use the latest stable version of iView to open an audio from last night's program, and let me see the effect." ”

“YES，SIR！”

There are two versions of the iView browser,The open source pioneer version is updated at any time,The closed-source stable version is updated on the 1st of every month,New Year's Day happened to upgrade a version,The most important feature in this version,It supports direct playback of IAC format audio in the browser,And this format,It's what Du Qiu bragged to Jiang Danfeng in the morning。

In the time and space before traveling, there are two most popular audio compression formats in the world in the 21st century, one is MP3, the other is AAC, MP3 originated in 1987, it was actually used in 1994, it was popular in 1997, ACC originated in 1997, completed in 2000, it was originally intended to replace MP3, but unfortunately it did not succeed, only Apple favored it in the music consumption market, and the rest were not very cold, but AAC is very popular in the radio and television industry, and it is the most widely used audio format in these two fields。

MP3 and AAC have copyright and patent protection, and they need to pay money to use them, which Du Qiu can't bear, so he uses the open-source audio formats Ogg and Opus as the blueprint, and Marin Eller, who left Microsoft, to create an audio compression format suitable for the hardware environment in the 90sto prepare for tossing players and streaming music platforms later.

MP3 is popular all over the world driven by pirated music, and Ogg is two eras ahead of MP3, the compressed music is smaller in size, better in sound quality, and more suitable for the Internet environment in the 90s, so as long as the marketing is done well, it is not difficult to replace MP3, as for AAC, it may never appear again......

"Mr. Du, you see, the browser has been able to correctly recognize the audio in IAC format. ”

Zhao Hongfei opened the top New Year's Day party post, showed dozens of audio files to Du Qiu to see, and then selected "My Dream" to click play, but no sound came out, but a prompt bar showing the download progress appeared, he helplessly spread his hands and said: "Now the Internet speed is too slow, netizens first download the music to the hard disk, and then use a special player to play it, and will not listen to the song directly in the browser." ”

The purpose of Du Qiu's doing this is to use iView to advertise IAC and encourage netizens to use it instead of MP3 to distribute pirated music, so he doesn't care, saying: "IAC is an audio compression format, and there are many other applications besides music, so it doesn't hurt to support it in advance." ”

The two waited for three or four minutes, "My Dream" was downloaded, and then the browser automatically started playing, Du Qiu practiced the piano intermittently for a few months, the level was very average, yesterday on the stage to concentrate on playing, did not dare to be distracted to listen to how Jiang Danfeng sang, only based on the reaction of the audience below, I felt that she sang well, now listen carefully, I found that she did sing well, the breath is stable, the resonance is full, and the sense of language is quite good, the transition is just right, can drive and infect the audience's emotions.

"How many downloads have you had for this song?"

"The people in the entertainment team did an all-night plus a morning to finish, and it was uploaded at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's 4:10, and a total of 571 downloads. Zhao Hongfei switched to the homepage of the forum and said: "The number of people online at the same time at the same time must have reached a new high today, and now there are 3,319 people." ”

As of December 31, 1995, there are more than 110 Chinese websites in China, most of which appeared after the Internet conference, among which the official forum of Snapdragon is the most well-known and the most content-rich, almost every netizen will visit, and Microsoft held Windows on August 24 At the 95 press conference, the number of people online at the same time on the forum exceeded the 1,000 mark for the first time, and now it has only been 4 months, and the number of people online at the same time has tripled, indicating that the number of netizens is increasing rapidly, but no one knows what the specific number is, Du Qiu asked: "How many registered users are there in the forum?"

"More than 60,000, but many of them are duplicate registered trumpets, I counted once a few days ago, Snapdragon employees have an average of 9.7 trumpets per person, I really don't know what they do with so many trumpets. ”

The number of netizens is still too small......

Looks like I'm going to have to build a few more Internet cafes......
