"I want to be Zhao Yun!"
"Zhao Yun is a man, Sister Xiaoya, you are a woman, and you can only be Liu Bei's wife. β
"Zhao Yun can be both a man and a woman, because he doesn't have a beard, only a beard like Zhang Fei needs a man, so I can be Zhao Yun, you go to be Zhang Fei, and I would like to be Zhuge Liang. β
"Alright then......"
Du Qiu and Wang Changan stood on the balcony, chatting in the sun, while watching Wang Xiaoya take Wang Guanguan and Lin Jinyan to play the Three Kingdoms game together, the 1994 CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is popular all over the country, even children of a few years old know some allusions, plus Lin Jinyan also has comic book references, three children holding all kinds of plastic toys, running around in the living room, playing happily.
"Du Qiu, our company has a designated four-star hotel in Pujiang, the environment and conditions are good, I have booked three of the best suites, and then go directly to live. β
"Trouble Brother Wang. β
"There's nothing trouble, just a phone call, speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your strong support this time, and you are willing to take me to Pujiang together. β
"There is nothing to mention about this kind of thing, there is a lot of money in the futures market, one person can't make it at all, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, and there is money to earn and send together. β
"Hehe, no matter how much money you have, someone has to find out, otherwise the opportunity will slip away. β
While the two were talking, Lin Dawei opened the security door and walked in from the outside, went to the balcony and said to Du Qiu: "Negotiate it, use Accord as collateral, borrow 75,000 yuan from Wang Yong, transfer it to you tomorrow morning, and repay him 80,000 yuan with interest next month, if you don't repay the principal, the car will belong to him, and the interest will be paid." β
"The interest of 5,000 yuan is nothing, anyway, it was quickly earned, but it was a bit of a loss to mortgage 70,005, Dawei, your car is well maintained, and it is no problem to take the appearance and sell it for 100,000 yuan on the second-hand market." β
"Isn't that in a hurry? Lin Dawei waved his hand and excused himself from the cigarette handed over by Wang Changan, and said: "Ah Qiu, if you really make a lot of money this time, I will pay back the 80,000 principal and interest, and then you give me the Accord, I have driven this car for several years, and I have feelings." β
On the afternoon of February 17, when he came back from his hometown, when Du Qiu was tinkering with fonts in Yunda's rental room, Lin Dawei and Du Chunhua completed the divorce procedures with a quick knife mentality, but the two were worried that gossip would have a bad impact on Lin Jinyan, so they did not announce it to the public, Lin Dawei came once a day during the day and once at night, like ants moving, only taking a little thing out each time, so the neighbors didn't know about the divorce, only Wang Changan, a close friend, knew, so he seemed a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and took a deep puff of cigaretteγ
"The car is a trivial matter, let's talk about it then. Du Qiu was more at ease with his father's funds, but not very at ease with Wang Changan, Zhengse warned: "Brother Wang, it is a heartbeat to engage in speculation, and you are willing to gamble and lose, you can participate, but don't embezzle public funds, otherwise I will never dare to take you to Pujiang, because even if you make money this time, it will harm you." β
Wang Changan laughed awkwardly a few times, patted his chest and promised: "Du Qiu, don't worry, all the money I brought this time was borrowed from relatives and friends, and not a dime was public money!"
Lin Dawei relieved him and said: "The weather is good today, the sun is very strong, and there is no wind, Chang'an and I will take these three little guys to Yuhe Park to play, invite them to eat KFC in the evening, and send them back at about seven or eight o'clock." β
"Okay. β
After a few children were taken away, the lively room immediately became deserted, making Du Qiu's ears feel a lot less noisy, he walked into the study, closed the door, and then took out a key, opened the drawer under the bookcase, took out the laptop from it, connected the desktop on the desk, and began to continue to study the browser.
At the beginning of his tenure, Du Chunhua showed a superior sense of design and business smell, which not only greatly increased the confidence of the three partners, but also made Du Qiu feel a lot more relieved, so he completely started to be the shopkeeper, returned the house rented by Yunda, moved the computers back home, and worked directly in the study.
Du Qiu told Chen Dayou to write a beta version of the browser a month, in fact, it doesn't take so long at all, he has Netscape's scape-navigator as a model, and there are firefox and chromium, two open source browsers for reference, especially firefox, which was originally derived from scape-navigator in 1998, although after more than ten years of evolution, the code has been unrecognizable, but there are still many ideas for reference, it is not difficult to write at all, if you don't want to solve the problem of javascript, you can do it in a weekγ
The javascript language itself is not a problem, because there are complete documents and related materials in the hard disk, and you don't need to use your brain at all, you only need to modify it a little to put it out, the problem is that Du Qiu built the building from scratch, the language is only equivalent to the drawings, and if you want to build the building, you have to solve the supporting materials such as steel, glass, cement, etc., in other words, he needs to write a bunch of tools to implement the javascript language, such as compilers, Debugging tools and virtual machines, etc., among which the compiler and debugging tools are relatively simple, and there are ready-made open source software to refer to, and the trouble is the virtual machine, which is the so-called javascript engine.
In 2016, the core of a browser must contain two engines, one is a graphics engine, one is a JavaScript engine, the combination of the two, in order to make the content of the web page completely displayed, in 1995, there is only one draft of the HTML language, there is not even a unified standard, CSS is only a prototype, it has not been popularized in the industry, both the function and performance are very weak, so the graphics engine is relatively simple, according to the Netscape-Navigator imitation, and JavaScript is 100%. "Original", something that has never been done before, in 1995 there was no ready-made website for debugging, the 2016 web page stored in the laptop was too advanced, plus the hardware configuration and network environment of the two eras were very different, whether it was Chromium V8 or Firefox's Rhino could not be copied, so Du Qiu could only toss and explore slowly.
In fact, Brandon Ike spent 10 days designing the JavaScript language, and then Netscape spent 7 months debugging it, and it was not released until the end of December 1995.
Of course, he can also lower the standard and make a javascript interpreter perfunctory, but that would be too cheap, you must know that the javascript language originally designed by Brandon Ike was very rough, with many defects and deficiencies, so the initial standard changed almost every year, and it was not until it was released in 1999 that it really matured and stabilized, and it has been used for 10 years, and it was replaced by version 5.0 in 2009, and 5.0 is actually just a minor repair of 3.0, the original version number was 3.1, because the version 4.0 standard was too controversial, and it was directly abolished, in order to appease the restless minds of commercial companies and developersThe technical committee released 3.1 as 5.0 and tossed it for another 6 years before replacing it with 6.0 in 2015......
As a crossing party, Du Qiu will definitely give up the initial immature version, and directly release his own javascript as a standard, and suddenly designed a programming language that does not need to be modified and upgraded for 20 years, which is equivalent to writing a book of "Jiuyang Divine Skill" as soon as he debuted, full of martial arts grandmaster style, if you only write an interpreter, not an engine, it is equivalent to playing a set of very low-tech Wang Baquan as a great grandmaster, which is really unreasonable.
When concentrating on work, he will always ignore the passage of time, Du Qiu was busy in front of the computer, and several hours passed unconsciously, until he heard the sound of opening the door outside, only to find that it was almost six o'clock, so he put away the laptop, stuffed it into a drawer and locked it, and walked out of the study to see, sure enough, Du Chunhua was back.
"What about the words?"
"My brother-in-law took him to the park to play and eat out at night. While Du Qiu went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking, he asked, "How did you talk to the printing house?"
"It's all your fault for offending Wenxiu's father last time, and today I was put on a lot of frustration, and it took a lot of effort to negotiate the conditions. Du Chunhua was very unhappy with the way he dealt with Ma Xiaoli last time, and patted the dining table and said: "You are really daring, you dare to slap your daughter-in-law in the face in front of your father-in-law, husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it is really lawless! Fortunately, the Su family is well cultivated, if you change our hometown, you will be killed on the spot!"
"Wenxiu told you?"
"What do you say?!"
This is the first time Du Qiu has seen his mother angry after crossing, but this matter belongs to the attitude of the world, not a question of right or wrong, there is no way to explain, so I had to be silent, Du Chunhua taught a few words, and saw that he did not enter the oil and salt, so he had to sigh lightly, and persuaded: "If you don't want to deal with these troublesome things, just turn a blind eye, or find someone else to deal with it, don't lose your temper, and don't come forward in person, it's not so easy to be a bird." β
"Got it. β
The kitchen space is very large, both of them can cook, dinner is quickly ready, during the meal, Du Qiu took the initiative to go to Pujiang to engage in financial speculation to Du Chunhua to report, because the feelings between people are based on trust, if the trust is gone, there will be a crack in the relationship, and it will be difficult to make up for it.
"I originally wanted to ask you about this, you said the day before yesterday that you were going to buy Yunda's printing factory, so you borrowed money everywhere, today I asked Wenxiu and them, and they all said that they didn't have this plan, I knew you were going to fool around!" Du Chunhua came out angrily, snapped the chopsticks on the dining table, and said angrily: "Do you take my sister in your eyes, I said that you are not allowed to speculate in stocks!"
"Sister, don't lose your temper when eating, it's not good for your health. Du Qiu accompanied her with a smile and sandwiched a small piece of fried pork for her, explaining: "I'm not going to speculate in stocks, I'm going to speculate in treasury bills, which are guaranteed by national credit, and I won't lose 100% of my money." β
"Don't lie with a hippie smile! There is no business in the world that is sure to make money without losing money. β
On January 17th, Du Qiu made an excuse to borrow money, mainly because he had just returned from his hometown and could not collect enough information and information to persuade his mother. Sister, you see, this is a treasury bill issued in 1992, according to the regulations at the time of issuance, the sum of principal and interest after the expiration of 100 yuan is 128.5, plus a hedging subsidy of about 20 yuan, and when it expires in June this year, it can be exchanged for about 148.5 yuan, right?"
In the eighties and nineties, the inflation rate was very high, and depositing money in the bank was far worse than buying treasury bills to preserve its value, so almost every household had treasury bills, Du Chunhua was no stranger to this, and nodded after reading the data, and said: "Unless you buy it when it was issued in 1992, if you buy it now, it will definitely cost about 148 yuan to buy it, and you can't make a lot of money." β
"Sister, the hedging subsidy is adjusted according to the inflation rate, and now the inflation rate is very high, you see that the hedging subsidy rate just announced in February is 10.38%, in other words, in addition to the 20 yuan, the state is likely to subsidize another 1 to 2 yuan. β
"Do you mean to use 148 yuan to buy treasury bills now, and then make one or two yuan per copy after expiration?" Du Chunhua silently calculated, then shook his head and said: "This is really not risky, but you can't make a few dollars, even if you take 1.48 million to buy 10,000 copies, you will only earn 10,000 or 20,000 in the end, not to mention that you don't have 1.48 million at all." β
Du Qiu smiled, took out another newspaper clipping, and said: "Sister, buying treasury bills on the stock exchange, as long as 2.5% of the margin is enough, I now have a total of about 300,000 funds, which can be used as 12 million, and I can buy 81,000 treasury bills, if the state subsidizes one more dollar, I can earn 80,001, subsidize 2 yuan, I can earn 160,002, even if the state does not subsidize, I will not lose money, right?"
When Du Chunhua heard that this was indeed the case, he didn't care about eating, and read the newspaper clippings over and over again, and then asked, "You didn't lie to me?"
"I asked my brother-in-law to consult Sister Jinyu, and she said that there was no problem, there must be something to be earned, and even their company had prepared millions of funds to buy this kind of treasury bills in the market, and she was ready to go to Pujiang with me in a few days. β
"Don't go with Jinyu, stay away from her!"
Hey?
