Chapter 136: Facebook
Xu is part of the water splashed up and wet He Ling's long hair, hanging down between her ears, her charming state is fully revealed, there is no golden hairpin and jade chuan, no rouge powder, at this time He Ling, clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. It was like a bewitching flower in the fog, capturing Jiang Hui's soul.
"Dad, you're back", He Ling walked over in her pajamas, squeezing between Jiang Hui and Dean He.
"Well, make a phone call and ask where your mother is?" said Dean Ho.
"Mom is a busy person, it's useless to fight, wait, I told her in the morning to go home early today," He Ling said.
"Where are you going to play today?", Dean He said.
……
The three of them didn't sit on the sofa for long, and He Ling's mother came back. After Jiang Hui got up again to say hello, Dean He asked Aunt Lan to bring all the dishes out to eat.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the appetizer before the meal is the Lantern Festival. In the south, the Lantern Festival is called tangyuan, yuanzi, floating balls, and water balls, and is made of glutinous rice, either solid or filled. The filling has bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, etc., boiled, fried, steamed, and fried. At first, people called this food "floating balls", and later called "soup balls" or "soup balls", these names are similar to the word "reunion", take the meaning of reunion, symbolize the reunion of the whole family, harmony and happiness, people also miss the parting relatives, and place good expectations for the future life.
He Ling helped everyone serve a small half bowl of Lantern Festival, and then took the initiative to pour wine.
Jiang Hui tasted the Lantern Festival, originally thought it was the same as the rice balls, but when he actually ate it, he realized that there was still a difference. Lantern Festival Eat Lantern Festival in the north and eat glutinous rice balls in the south, which can only mean that the meaning of these two things is the same, but due to regional differences, Lantern Festival and tangyuan have become foods with different practices and tastes. Lantern Festival generally uses only vegetarian solid sweet filling, which is cut into small pieces, dipped in water and repeatedly rounded in glutinous rice flour until the right size, and its surface is dry. The filling of the glutinous rice balls is meat and vegetarian, first mix the glutinous rice flour into a dough, wrap the filling like a dumpling and then knead the round. The taste of the glutinous rice balls is more delicate and smooth than that of the Lantern Festival.
Jiang Hui took the initiative to salute Dean He and He Ling's mother a few glasses of wine, and also had a drink with He Ling, and the atmosphere was a bit like a family.
"Xiao Jiang, I heard Lingling say that you went to register the appearance patent for the cartoon characters of the game developed by the company?
"Not yet, I don't know when I'll be able to come down. In the past two days, my classmates have been going back to school one after another, and when the time comes, I am going to arrange for someone to contact a toy company and authorize them to produce these dolls," Jiang Hui said.
"You go back and give me a copy of the receipt of acceptance of the patent, and I will arrange for someone to help you ask," said He Ling's mother.
"Thank you, Auntie, I'll send it over tomorrow," Jiang Hui said.
Although she didn't specifically ask what department He Ling's mother worked in, it is estimated that she should have someone she knows who works in the patent office, after all, they are in that circle.
After eating, Jiang Hui sat at He Ling's house for a while, then said that he would go back to deal with the affairs of the school intranet, and said goodbye first.
He Ling originally wanted to send Jiang Hui downstairs, but Jiang Hui saw that she was just wearing pajamas, so he didn't let her send it.
……
"Lingling, you come to your mother's side and tell your mother the truth, are you and Jiang Hui dating?"
"Mom, didn't I tell you, I'm now the head of the finance department of the school intranet, and I have one percent of the shares in it. Jiang Hui is the founder of the school intranet and my classmate, and we are just good friends," says Ho Ling.
"Where do you look like ordinary good friends now? I didn't even dare to take your dad home when I was in love," said He Ling's mother.
"Mom, Jiang Hui came to our house for dinner because my father invited him, and I didn't bring him back by myself, besides, what era is it now, how can it be compared with you at that time", He Ling said.
"I'll clarify this for Lingling, it was indeed I who asked her to invite Xiao Jiang to our house for dinner," Dean He said.
"He Guoqiang, do you do it against me every time, I will talk to Lingling about the mother-daughter confidant, what are you talking about", He Ling's mother said.
"Okay, okay, you mother and daughter talk slowly, I'll go to the study for a while", Dean He got up and went to the study after speaking.
"Mom, I've been walking for a day today, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest", He Ling was about to get up and go back to the room after speaking.
"Sit down, Lingling, it's not that your mother has to rule over you, your mother just cares about your condition. If you are really in a relationship with Xiao Jiang, I don't say against it", He Ling's mother said.
"Oh, Mom, why are you so gossipy, I don't want to talk to you, I'm going to sleep", He Ling really went back to the room after speaking.
Leaving He Ling's mother to sit alone on the sofa, she sighed, and had to get up to take a shower.
……
Jiang Hui returned to the rental house and thought of the situation on Facebook that he had just talked about when he was chatting with Dean He.
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University at the time, who founded "The Facebook" in February 2004, and by the end of the month, more than half of Harvard's undergraduates had become registered users. Initially, registration was limited to Harvard College students, but over the next two months, registration expanded to other universities in the Boston area, including Boston College, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tefts University, as well as the University of Rochester, Stanford, New York University, Northwestern University, and all Ivy League schools. In September of the same year, Facebook received an angel investment of about half a million dollars from PayPal founder Peter Thiel. By December, Facebook had more than 1 million users. In May 2005, Facebook received $12.7 million in venture capital from another institution. Both the valuation and the development speed of the website are very fast.
As the most important opponent of the globalization of the intranet in the future, the current Facebook is in the stage of just being established, but Jiang Hui really does not dare to underestimate it at all, after all, this is a super giant with the number one click-through rate in the future.
Considering the technical difficulty, you can first open the registration rights of some universities in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia that use Chinese, and then start the interface development of other versions such as Japanese and English versions at the same time, which requires more foreign language talents to support. Of course, it would be better to have local employees involved in the development, but Jiang Hui did not dare to take the risk of open source to let programmers from other countries develop the English version of the school intranet.
There are so many things that need to be done, and it seems that it is necessary to convene a meeting as soon as possible to do a good job in the division of labor and get everyone moving.
