After these certifications, in addition to allowing you to sail alone, there is also an advantage, that is, when you go to a member country of the International Sailing Federation with this qualification, you can rent a sailboat locally, without which no one will rent it to you.

Elisa said that it is not difficult, you don't need to go to class for 101 courses, you can take correspondence courses, you feel that you have learned, and you can go directly to the exam, a total of dozens of questions, and a score of more than 80 is considered a pass. Eliza Jianyì Hongtao did not take the ITY qualification certification in Canada, and went directly to the ASA certification in the United States, so that it would be more convenient for him to buy a boat and drive in the United States in the future. And as the world's only superpower and the country with the most sailing ships, the United States has a higher certification content.

Hong Tao, of course, agreed with Eliza's opinion, and directly called himself to register, and a few days later, a copy of the training materials was mailed from the United States, and it was still free. Hong Tao really couldn't figure out this, five or six beautifully printed textbooks could be mailed over the phone in one phone? Toronto, which has a population of more than one million, if one-tenth of them had made a phone call, would this institution in the United States have to go bankrupt?

ASA101 training textbooks are really simple, most of them have nothing to do with sailboat driving, such as the rules of sailing and fishing, the rules of hunting, environmental protection regulations or something, what is really useful is the meaning of navigation beacon identification, ocean currents, air pressure, communications, weather forecasts, disposal in dangerous situations, and by the way, there are some different regulations on sailing boats in various states in the United States.

This kind of simple exam is difficult for any immigrant from the Celestial Empire, Hong Tao passed the exam with a good score of 97 points, but unfortunately there are only two kinds of passing and failing on the other side. 100 points and 80 points are a treatment.

A week later, Hong Tao's ASA101 certificate was mailed back. A plastic card, a certificate type of paper jiàn. But this time it wasn't free, and I asked for $33.99 from Hong Tao. Americans and Canadians have a virtue, isn't it good for you to ask for 34 yuan directly, and Fenyma gets a fraction!!

However, this exam also gave Hong Tao a lot of knowledge, and the environmental protection laws in the United States are stricter than those in Canada. For example, if you throw food, packaging, clothing, and sewage into the water while driving a sailboat, you will face a fine of $3,000 and the risk of intensive labor for five years, and what is even more terrifying is that you can't even pour fresh water into the boating waters, basically you can't throw anything except breathing. It's too strict.

What's more, these laws also encourage your companions to denounce you, you are fined and jailed, and the whistleblower gets a bonus!

After passing the 101 course, Hong Tao made persistent efforts and began to study the 103 course on his own, which was a little more difficult, and he needed to learn some navigation knowledge and simple maintenance of the power plant. But for Hong Tao. It's also easier than taking the car test in China, and many questions don't require a word to be answered, you just need to answer the principle or processing method correctly.

The ASA103 exam has just been completed, and the certificate has not yet been upgraded. The academy opened, and Hong Tao had to tow the sailboat ashore temporarily, and he didn't have much time to play sailing. Making up credits is one thing. The main thing is that the training of the ice hockey team has to go on as usual, even if Eliza is already close to him to the point that he can't be more close. I won't give in to him at work. In the academy, she is still the coach, and Hong Tao must obey. If you suffer a loss, you can only take revenge after going home, in fact, this kind of revenge is in Eliza's arms, and in the end it is Hong Tao who is unlucky.

With the start of college, Hong Tao also put away some of his playfulness, and he still has an important job to do. Crystal Orchid Capital has been established for half a year, except for investing three million dollars in AIGO and one million dollars in F&A in order to fool outsiders, basically nothing has been done, which is tantamount to using the profits of AIGO and F&A to support Crystal Orchid Capital, Hong Tao will definitely not sit idly by.

He now needs to carefully screen the list of Stanford University graduates and the registration information of every company in Silicon Valley that Yulia has collected, pick out the names of people he has memories in his head, and then go to further understand, and finally determine the person he is looking for, so that Crystal Orchid Capital can track, contact and negotiate.

Who is Hong Tao looking for? He only has a few vague names in his mind, Mark Anderson, Jim Clark, David Ferro, and Yang Zhiyuan! So why does Hong Tao have to look for these four people? The reason is very simple: the first two are the founders of Netscape, and the last two are the founders of Yahoo, and they are also the targets of Hong Tao's investment. It's a pity that Hong Tao only has the names of the four of them and the general development context in his mind, and he can't remember the rest, he doesn't even know where they are, where they appeared, and when they appeared.

Mark Anderson is a milestone in the history of the Internet, and like Bill Gates, without them, there would be basically no Internet world today. Bill Gates gave wings to computers, Mark Anderson gave wings to the Internet, and all the browsers we use now are his disciples, and the first real web browser Mosaic was created by him. Before Mosaic, there was very little concept of graphics on the Internet, just as before there was a Windows system, everyone used character operating systems like DOS and UNIX.

If Mark Anderson invented Mosaic, then Jim Clark was the man who made Mosaic discoverable and usable by Internet users. Without his vision for investing $5 million in Mark Anderson, the Mosaic browser is still in the hands of the NCSA (National Center for Supercomputer Applications), and people don't value it very much.

Hong Tao is now going to take Jim Clark's place, and as for what this Mr. Clark should do, Hong Tao doesn't care. If he can be co-opted, he will be co-opted, and if he can't be co-opted, he will give up, anyway, he has this vision, and he has funds, and he will not starve to death, let him compete with those elites, don't grab meat and eat it with his own impostor.

For pit foreigners, Hong Tao has no burden in his heart at all, and he will even be secretly happy. Even if Bill Gates gives him this opportunity, he will not hesitate to start, as for whether the window system will die and miscarry, Brother Guan's? Of course, Gates will not give him this opportunity, but if you can't pit Lao Gai, you can still pit Xiao An.

In addition to Anderson and Clark, Hong Tao also plans to pit two other people, who are also Americans, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro. These two were a little later than Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, but they made a bigger move than their predecessors. Yahoo, the world's No. 1 Internet search engine, cannot be said to be as great as Windows and Mosaic browsers, but it is also a big event on the Internet.

Hong Tao is also going to replace a Bole in Yahoo, and his name is Masayoshi Son. This name is quite familiar, right? Taobao's shareholders are him, and he is still a major shareholder. Similarly, in 1996, this guy invested $100 million in Yahoo, which was not yet listed, accounting for 38% of the shares, and when Yahoo went public, he only sold 2% of the stock and cashed out $400 million.

Besides, this Son is still a Japanese, although Hong Tao is not an angry youth, and the Japanese are not all bad people, but after being influenced by half his life, this habit of thinking cannot be changed in a short period of time. If the same two people stand in front of you, one is black and the other is Japanese, you don't know each other, but one must be killed, Hong Tao promised to choose the Japanese, this is the standard Chinese thinking.

As for where to find these people, Hong Tao is not doing his homework. According to the poor information he remembers, Clark worked for a computer company called SGI in Silicon Valley before investing in Netscape. Anderson was born in a small town, like the Midwest of the United States, not in California, and it is not clear where Hong Tao was.

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to wait for the rabbit and rely on Clark's rabbit to find Anderson, but now he saves trouble, and in July held a national exhibition on computer and network technology in San Francisco, Anderson actually took the lead himself. He exhibited with his mosaic browser, and it was also in the newspaper, and Yulia found out, and she has now almost engraved the names of the four people that Hong Tao gave her on the door of her head, and she can see it in the mirror!

This saves trouble, Netscape is considered to have eyebrows, and the rest of the Yahoo Hongtao can only find it by himself. He can't remember anything else, but it's certain that Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are both students at Stanford University, so Hong Tao also has a range, and he can find it according to the school's student list. Regardless of whether the names are the same or not, select the students with these two names, and then arrange for Yulia to hire a private detective to investigate them one by one.

It took more than half a month for Hong Tao to find two names named David Ferro from tens of thousands of student materials, a sophomore and a junior, which one was, Hong Tao didn't know, he couldn't remember what Yahoo's David Ferro should look like. But it doesn't matter, just find Yang Zhiyuan, this Chinese name should not be the same name in an American university!

It is said that good things are grinding, and sometimes it is true. Hong Tao almost turned over the list information, and still didn't find a student named Yang Zhiyuan, not even a teacher, not even a person surnamed Yang.

"Nima! You won't use a foreign name in school, will you? This is too tricky!" Hong Tao finally understood why he couldn't find it, although that Yang Zhiyuan is a Chinese name, but he is not a Chinese ah, he must be using an English name, but he doesn't know what his English name is! He doesn't plan to look for it again, let's go over and see it for himself, anyway, he hasn't been to Stanford University, first go to meet that David Ferro what virtue, and then it's not too late to find Yang Zhiyuan.
