On the beach, Roy and others walked in groups of three or five on the sea, letting the icy sea water overflow their ankles, feeling the sand caress the soles of their feet.

Looking at the vast coastline in the distance and finally connecting with the blue sky, my heart is like a magnificent nature, and it is much more open.

A short time later, a tall, forty-year-old man approached them.

This person is still wearing leather shoes on the beach, with a shirt, shirt, blue striped tie, and gray casual suit, wearing multiple layers, meticulous, cold and sharp eyes, and steady and heavy steps.

"Brother, you're really here!" Ivy was surprised and unbelievable, his brother is definitely an elite person who has all kinds of opportunities, he is in power in the company, he is usually commanding, and he is indifferent to everything, why did he come over so actively when he heard her mention Roy today?

Noah Fielding nodded to Ivy, and then his eyes began to wander through the crowd, directly filtering out the funny Billies who was dancing on the beach, staying on Lance's thin figure for 1 second, shaking his head and skipping, and finally his eyes fell on Roy.

The dignified young man in front of him is far from the appearance in Noah's heart, and it is also different from the photos published in the newspaper, how to describe it, it seems that in reality, this young man has washed away the lead and is plain, and there is less of the ethereal sense of distance in the photos.

But after a closer look, I felt that the other party and the newspaper photo were not quite similar.

What the hell is going on? Noah was a little confused.

"You're Roy Van and the newspaper picture is so different from you. ”

Roy was uncomfortable being scanned by the other party, didn't he just use too much force to PS the photo, and he used it to find it on purpose.

"Yes. Any advice?"

"It's amazing to hear that you started Red Coral Company from scratch and snatched a piece of meat from BesTV's mouth. Noah applauded.

Hehe, Roy didn't hear any admiration from the other party's words, but a little bit of fateful mockery.

Roy leaned over to Alyssa and whispered, "This person is Ivy's brother?"

Alyssa nodded and said solemnly: "Noah is very famous in the industry, known for being tough, fierce, aggressive, decisive, impersonal, and contemptuous of human nature. He has helped two companies come back to life. It's a super elite talent, and the media jokingly calls Little Grove. ”

Grove is one of Intel's Big Three, along with Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore mentioned earlier, and is also recognized as the "greatest manager" in Silicon Valley, and probably not one of them.

Grove has published two management classics, one is "Grove's First Lesson for Managers" and the other is "Only Paranoid People Can Survive".

When Grove passed away in March 2016, legendary entrepreneur and investor Mark Anderson (Appendix 1) said, "Rest in peace, Grove. You're the best entrepreneur Silicon Valley has ever had, and probably in the future. ”

Roy was speechless in surprise, why is such a powerful man looking for himself? He believes that he is domineering, and it is no problem to fool a little fish and shrimp, but such a man who hangs the sky will also come to surrender?

Ignoring Roy's doubts, Noah continued, "I just heard from Ivy that you have opened a new company called 2D Horse, which is a more advanced technology than barcodes. I'm curious to know if you really have the strength to start a business this time, or is it just luck?"

Roy mused, "Luck and strength are both important, if I had to choose one or the other, I would choose luck." ”

Noah laughed twice and questioned, "You mean, the two-dimensional horse company, luck is still on your side?"

"Of course. There is no doubt about it. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Noah said sincerely: "Can you take a step to talk and learn about your company?"

Roy was a little depressed, if cats and dogs came to me every day, wouldn't I be busy to death. He wondered, "What? You want to come to my company?"

Ivy secretly despised Roy and was ashamed to say that her brother who was above the top could go to your broken company with only 2 people.

Alyssa was also looking at Noah seriously, which was contrary to common sense to explore the secrets, which was indeed suspicious.

Noah was sharp, his eyes were proud, "If you invite me, it's not impossible." ”

Roy's brain was spinning rapidly, and his index finger and thumb kept rubbing, pondering that if Noah was really a super elite talent as Alyssa said, then if he didn't take the initiative to grasp the opportunity to send it to the door, he would inevitably seem incompetent.

Roy called Alyssa and walked with Noah to an unoccupied area, and when he saw Ivy following, he made a zipper pull motion on her, sliding his fingertips from the left corner of his mouth to the right, and waved his hand at her.

Ivy stomped her feet angrily, and the slightest affection she had just had for Roy suddenly disappeared.

"Miss Elisa!"

Alyssa persuaded: "Forget Ivy, you go play by yourself first, and we'll look for you later." ”

Noah strode ahead with Roy, ignoring her sister's little emotions.

Ivy looked at Roy's back in a fit of rage, keeping this bastard who alluded to her lax mouth in her heart, waiting for the right time to take revenge.

Roy stopped at a shelter, picked up a branch and drew a square QR code image on the beach and a long barcode next to it. He smiled and said, "This upgraded version of the barcode, I call it a QR code, Mr. Fielding, do you think this graphic has commercial value?"

Noah shook his head and said truthfully, "This is your business insight, and I don't know. ”

Roy explains, "I'll give you an example of my client.

"He is a supplier of auto parts, and he has a big problem when supplying, because they have too many types of parts, fuel injectors, radiators, oxygen sensors, starters, ignition units, engines, condensers, meters, car locks, wipers, electronic keys, airbags, car navigation ...... There are hundreds, each of which has dozens of iterations of historical versions.

"There are many things, it is inconvenient to find, and the retrieval efficiency is greatly reduced. At this time, he will find that it is more convenient to use the domestic language, but the traditional barcode does not support the language of other countries, and the barcode label will become very long if he tries to expand the capacity. This problem has been affecting the efficiency of his supply.

"However, with this QR code it is different, it supports numbers, letters, symbols, Latin, Chinese, and even any language you want, and the retrieval efficiency has increased several times. Any plant with a complex production line needs this innovative technology to help them increase the efficiency of their production and supply chains.

"So, Mr. Noah, what do you think of my luck in starting a business this time?"

Noah and Alyssa were both lost in thought, amazed and filled with questions. But the only thing that is the same is that there is more respect in Roy's eyes. Roy's great commercial technology will revolutionize the efficiency of information transmission throughout the industry, and then boldly imagine that it may be able to enter the civilian field in the future, and the massive wealth that can be created at that time will be an inexhaustible treasure.

Hearing such a business model, even they, outsiders, are too excited to hold themselves.

Leaning less, Noah asked: "Why can't barcodes do things, QR codes can do?"

[PS] Addendum 1: Mark Anderson single-handedly founded Netscape (Browser). On August 9, 1995, Netscape's stock went public at $28.5 and closed at $58.5. The Wall Street Journal commented that it took 43 years for General Dynamics to reach a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, while Netscape took only 1 minute.

Netscape's success threatened Microsoft, which was gradually squeezing out the market by using the browser for free and selling it bundled on the Windows operating system. Microsoft's attempt to bring Netscape down has sparked charges from the Department of Justice against Microsoft.

Just when Netscape was overwhelmed, AOL (AOL), the world's largest Internet service provider, acquired Netscape on November 24, 1998 for $4.2 billion.
