Chapter 274: The Originator (II)
It can't be said that Bill Gates got into the eyes of money, in his thoughts, my public welfare is public welfare, and doing business is doing business, two different things, this kind of thinking has somewhat affected Li Mo. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Mo is a little anxious, it doesn't matter which investors are throwing money around, the key is that Bill Gates really can't touch it, and there is also a Jobs, if you want to make a profit, the Internet is over.
But he sighed.
Let him preside over the research and development of the Internet, and nothing can be developed. However, he still has some memories, as long as these memories are said, it is equivalent to having a direction, if the funds are enough, if you can invite a technical expert to host, and if you can invite enough technical personnel, the actual mature Internet can still be developed.
But the problem, it is more or less inseparable from ARPANET and other related technologies, but this is not the main problem, the main thing is...... In the past few years, there is simply no room for the Internet to survive in China. I can't stop others from not developing it, forget it, just invest a little money and be the originator with Bill Gates.
He said: "Gates, in this way, I will fly to the United States tomorrow, you can book a few more tickets to Switzerland, and also take Jobs, and we will go to the particle laboratory of the European Atomic Research Society to meet someone." ”
"Who?"
"Tim Berners Lee. ”
"Lee?"
"It's not a Lee, I'm Li, he's Lee, whatever his surname is, we're seeing people, not his surname. ”
Bill Gates didn't ask, he vaguely knew that Li Mo liked to let Hao Lick collect all kinds of information, not to be a spy, but to make a fortune in business, so he knew some relatively unpopular companies and people, such as Cisco. But this time he really guessed correctly, Liu Xiangzhong went to Switzerland, and Li Mo asked him to inquire about this person and his deeds by the way.
Li Mo hung up the phone, and Sun Hongqi asked, "European Internet?"
"It's not the European Internet, it's this person who has the technology in his hands that can make the Internet come out quickly. That's all for today, Assistant Ding, Assistant Xu, you go back first. ”
The two assistants left the office first, and Li Mo suddenly sank his face and said, "Sun Hongqi, why do I say that China is my mother and the United States is my wife?"
"I want to do American business. ”
"It's good to know, I'm patriotic, and I said it generously, but when comparing horizontally, we must not put the United States below China. I can also say it generously, I earn foreign exchange for the country, because the country is poor, and there are all kinds of foreign exchange subsidies, but I can't say that I must stick to the Chinese brand. ”
"They are from Xiangjiang. Peng Jiutian said.
"It's a native of Xiangjiang, and Uncle Liu selected it should be more patriotic, but where is Xiangjiang, I sometimes really don't know what kind of people have it. Whether they are Xiangjiang people or not, even if they are Chinese, they cannot deliberately say that China is very important, much more important than the United States. And what you said is not rational, I said that the parent company of the new company is located in the United States, although it has paid some taxes, there are all kinds of conveniences, including technology and talents, but in fact, as long as the production base is in China, it will be of great help to the country, such as Yile has pulled a few downstream manufacturers, and the birth of each enterprise of Yi Group means that it has driven the development of China's manufacturing industry step by step, so that the lives of countless people have been improved. In addition, as long as it is the technology of Yi Group, no matter where the parent company is, it is the technology of the Chinese. You say, does it make a difference where the parent company is? But remember, these can only be kept in the heart, in the deepest part of your heart. ”
This is different from Huawei, it earns more money from the domestic people, and you can openly shout, I am a national brand.
Can Li Mo shout?
As soon as he shouted at the front, after Clinton came to power, he could immediately get rid of all his enterprises.
Li Mo flew to Los Angeles, and then flew to Switzerland with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
As soon as they got on the plane, the two couldn't help but ask.
To put it simply, if a technology is to be developed, it must have funding, and even if there is funding from an institution or university, if you want to promote it, you need money.
Especially the Internet, the two may still be a little confused, but at least the relevant servers are needed, and the technology must be continuously developed, if it is not profitable, how can this Internet survive?
Li Mo said about what the Internet is, in fact, Li Mo also said it at Microsoft headquarters before, but at that time, Microsoft was still very weak, and his stall was not good, and he still wanted to do the Internet.
"You say, do you need to worry about the source of funding for such a platform, and do countries allow it to be controlled by private individuals?"
Li Mo said this, it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense.
The real Internet is certainly not a messy "network" like ARPANET, nor is it Cisco technology. Of course, these were the most important components of the Internet later, but what was missing now was the key to open the door to the Internet.
The earliest key is a half-key, which is the Gopher invented by Paul Lindner and Mark McCahill of the University of Minnesota in 91, also known as the Internet Gopher protocol.
The technology is not too mature, and only supports documents, not images.
As Bill Gates said, when the technology is launched, I have to charge for it, otherwise where will the funds come from?
But Li Mert can understand that this is the 80s, and it has not yet ushered in the Internet era of storytelling and crazy money-burning, according to traditional thinking, neither Bill Gates nor Gopher has thought wrong or done wrong.
However, with the advent of the Internet age, this idea will inevitably be obsolete.
Then I went to another network, the World Wide Web, if you are not familiar with it, look at the link on the computer, Www or Http. Tim, the inventor, received a task from the European Atomic Research Society (EERN), which commissioned him to develop a software to enable nuclear physicists from various European countries to communicate and transmit information in a timely manner through computer networks for collaborative research, so that the latest information, data, and images of physics laboratories and research institutes distributed throughout the country could be shared with everyone
After the successful study of this regional network, he had a whim: Why not build a global information network, so as to completely break down the barriers to information access. Tim under extremely difficult research and development conditions, to August 6, 91, finally made the World Wide Web officially unveiled, and on April 30, 93, the World Wide Web technology was fully mature, and CERN announced that the World Wide Web was free and open to anyone, without charging any fees. Exactly two months later, Gopher announced that it was no longer free, causing a large number of users to switch from Gopher to the World Wide Web. Then WWW became the standard on the Internet. Of course, according to this open and free platform, various websites have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the era of the big Internet that Li Mo said has arrived.
As for funding, this open platform is still worried about funding?
Li Mo sighed not about the World Wide Web, but the emergence of the World Wide Web in fact, the role of helping China is no less than that of the United States, and what makes him sigh is the dozen or so root servers.
After hearing the relevant news from Liu Xiangzhong, Li Mo did not interfere, and just let it appear naturally.
I didn't expect Bill Gates and Jobs to be interested in the Internet at the same time, the worst thing is that these two are both technical experts, Jobs is good at both software and hardware, don't think how difficult it is, under the joint efforts of these two people, it is really not that difficult.
When the technology in all aspects has almost matured, Li Mo is very worried about what company the two will set up and start to officially enter the Internet. What's worse is that because they are the link, the relationship between the two is far closer than in the previous life, the two are crazy, as long as they join forces, and there is no shortage of funds and technical personnel, a few years later, ninety percent of them will be able to make each other out of the net in advance, and register the relevant patents, blocking Tim's research and development road.
There is no open and free platform...... In a few years, the Internet will prosper, but that's the same thing, anyway, Li Mo doesn't want to make a lot of money from the Internet stock market.
Only then did Li Mo rush to the United States to prevent Bill Gates and Jobs from continuing to look for it and use it for profit.
Li Mo also knew that his argument did not make sense, and he continued to explain the meaning of a free and open platform.
"Gates, without this free and open platform, the great era will not come, and Microsoft will not be brilliant. ”
"yes......"
Once the big era mentioned by Li Mo arrives, there is no doubt that the PC opportunity will sell more, the PC will sell well, and Microsoft's operating software will sell more.
"No wonder you took a fancy to our company in the first place, Lee, you were a little older then. ”
"No matter how old I am, Gates, Jobs, think about it, how much change it will have in our lives, but what honor will it bring us when it comes out of our hands? Microsoft makes money, my fund is also making money, but if we make this platform, no matter how much money we make, we will have a bottom line in our hearts, because we have contributed to mankind. ”
Such an interpretation can make sense.
Even Jobs felt his blood boil when he heard it.
"Why are you looking for this Tim Lee?"
"You know Liu of Tang Fund, he went to Eastern Europe to recruit some models, and I heard some news about him, he is developing a large regional network, in fact, on the basis of this large regional network, further research and development, is a global platform. ”
People have a lot of technical accumulation, don't fight with Tim. Maybe by the time Microsoft and Steve Jobs have not developed the technology, others will have developed it a long time ago. The name was not fought, and the money was wasted.
Maybe one step ahead, what if you can't?
"I say this to see you. ”
Li Mo made up his mind at this time, he was not afraid that time would be advanced because of him, and the stock market crash broke out more than 12 years later, so what did it matter if it was a year and a half in advance? Anyway, he couldn't remember the specific date.
Although it costs a little money, this money is not too much, if it is not for the fear that Bill Gates and Jobs will mess around at home, Li Mo only supports the dividends of the box office of the Snowpiercer movie, which can basically meet Tim's R&D needs.
The technology is mature, does Li Mo still need to support R&D funds?
If you want to reinvest money, there will be people who are not happy, why, do you still want to take this platform for yourself?
didn't spend much money, but he became one of the originators of the Internet, and for Li Mo, the meaning is unimaginable.
When they came to Geneva, it was easier to find, and a few people quickly found the European Atomic Research Society and the particle laboratory.
There are still many people who don't know that Bill Gates, Jobs, and even Li Mo are much more famous than them.
However, the people in the particle laboratory have to use a lot of computers, and they are all familiar with all three, Jobs is one of the founders of Apple, strictly speaking, one of the originators of the PC, Bill Gates is Microsoft's operating system, not to mention Li Mo, and he is also one of Microsoft's shareholders.
The receptionist immediately took them to the parlor and went to inform Tim.
After hearing this, Tim ran out in high spirits and rushed towards Li Mo: "Li, I was about to meet you, but I didn't expect you to come in person, great, great." ”
As he spoke, he gave Li Mo a warm and intimate hug.
Bill Gates and Jobs glanced at each other, a little wry smile, Li Mo said that in the era of the Internet, the fourth industrial revolution, it is probably because people have a resonance point with Li Mo, so when they saw Li Mo coming, they had this excited look......
