Chapter 291: The Oak Hill Years (6)
Ryuzheng has a prescient vision and many forward-thinking ideas, while private tutor Emile Reddy has a wealth of professional skills. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Worried that in the future study and communication, Emile Reddy plagiarized his own ideas and foresight, and Long Zheng did one thing before the villain.
Ryu Zheng signed a 20-year buyout contract with Emile Reddy.
For 20 years from September 1, 1990, Emile Reddy worked as a personal assistant for Long Zheng, earning $200,000 a year for the first time and $100,000 a year thereafter, i.e., $2 Chinese New Year's Eve 00,000 a year for the second year, $400,000 for the third year, and $500,000 for the fourth year...... 20 million US dollars for the twentieth year.
During the 20-year period, the ownership of all intellectual property rights, including patented inventions, ideas or professional technologies developed by Emile Reddy or in cooperation with Longzheng shall be owned by Longzheng personally, and Emile Reddy's intellectual property rights, including ideas, and personal information, including investment information, shall not be disclosed to a third party for any reason during the period of the 20-year buyout contract.
In October 1990, Long Zheng took a half-month leave and came to McGill University in Montreal, Canada, with Emile Reddy. Here, Ryu and Emile Reddy find three students at McGill University and buy an FTP search engine called "Archie" that they have just developed.
After leaving McGill University, Long Zheng and Emile Reddy came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States non-stop.
Here, Ryu Zheng and Emile Reddy find Tim Berners-Lee, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Because Emile Reddy was a teaching assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology a month ago, and he has worked with Tim Berners Lee for many years, Tim Berners Lee was not surprised to see Long Zheng and Emile Reddy.
In Tim Berners-Lee's office, after a brief pleasantries, Ryu Zheng brings the conversation to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
......
......
......
"Professor Tim, based on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), we developed the first FTP search engine, Archie. With Archie, users can automatically index anonymous free FTP file information on Inter. Archie also provides a way to query the FTP address of a file based on its name. ”
In front of Professor Tim Berners Lee, Long Zheng did not blush and breathlessly put the development of Archie under his own name.
"I have carefully read the article "Suggestions on Information Management" written by Professor Tim."
Long Zheng said eloquently: "In my opinion, the Require project that Professor Tim built before is difficult to implement on top of the current network. One person counts short, two people count long, because it is impossible for others to access the Require project through the Internet, so there is really no need to set up an Require project now. ”
With Professor Tim Berners Lee on a thoughtful expression, Ryu continued: "The key now is to build a system of many interlinked hypertexts. As long as you have a computer, you can access this system through the Internet, and I call this system the World Wide Web. ”
Like an initiation, Ryuzheng's words made many of Tim Berners-Lee's previously obscure ideas gradually become clear.
Isn't this World Wide Web the goal that the WorldwideWeb needs to achieve? Tim Berners Lee thought so.
"To build the World Wide Web, you must first build a World Wide Web browser (which is also an editor) and a web server, and only then can you push the World Wide Web to the Internet." As he spoke, Tim Berners Lee couldn't help but get excited.
I didn't understand it at all, and the conversation between Long Zheng and Tim Berners Lee made Emile Reddy look so confused that he couldn't interject at all.
.....
.....
.....
"We intend to develop a software based on the World Wide Web that can be used to display text, images, and other information on the World Wide Web or local area networks, etc. I wonder if Professor Tim would like to join our team? Ryujeong extended an invitation to Tim Berners Lee.
As a scientist, Tim Berners Lee keenly captures the hidden subtext of Ryu's words, "join our team", which means that he can only be part of the team (just an employee), not as a co-founder (as a boss).
Shaking his head, Tim Berners Lee politely refused. He still prefers to do research in the laboratory rather than working for others.
Now a conversation with Long Zheng has made his R&D ideas clear, and he can't wait to return to the laboratory.
......
As a traverser, Long Zheng was not afraid to reveal the idea of the World Wide Web to Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is the product of two decades of research by Tim Berners Lee, and no one can surpass him in this field.
On the contrary, after some discussion with Tim Berners Lee, Long Zheng has come up with the idea of developing a World Wide Web browser (which is also an editor) and a web server under the current technical conditions.
No one can monopolize the World Wide Web, Long Zheng only needs to build his own browser and web page. With a browser and a web page, Long Zheng officially took the first step into the Internet industry.
......
After November 1990, all users who purchased the Microsoft operating system were surprised to find that the Microsoft operating system they had purchased was all bundled with an FTP search engine called "Archie".
With the purchase of Archie, users can automatically index anonymous free FTP file information on Inter. Archie also provides a way to query the FTP address of a file based on its name.
From the initial ignorance of habitual use, from habitual use to inseparable, Archie's frequent customers have shown explosive growth.
What users don't know is that this FTP search engine called "Archie" was not developed by Microsoft, but was bundled by Long Zheng with the help of the Microsoft platform. In exchange, the dragon general? The complete design of the Office program was handed over to Microsoft free of charge.
At the same time, in central Virginia, USA, a technology company called Rock Communications quietly opened.
The company has a registered capital of 100 million US dollars, but few people know the specific business of this company, and only a few people know that the now very popular "Archie" FTP search engine is one of the products of this company.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, time has come to 1993. (To be continued.) )
