Chapter 124: An Unexpected Surprise
(Ask for recommendations!) )
I don't know how long I want to stay in Miami, but before boarding the plane in Hong Kong, Lu Xi contacted Xiao Jing in Miami and invited her to be his guide.
After flying to New York, after nearly three hours of flight, Lu Xi stepped off the plane and saw Xiao Jing with a bright smile standing at the pick-up gate waving to him.
Lu Xi walked over quickly, and seeing that he was the only one, Xiao Jing looked around and chuckled again: "I thought you would bring a little beauty with you." ”
After looking up and down a few times at Xiao Jing in a cyan dress, Lu Xi salivated and smiled: "There is one in front of you, and it will be too much trouble to bring another one." ”
Xiao Jing glanced at Lu Xi, and smiled disappretently: "I thought that after you became a rich man, you would forget about me, an ordinary poor friend, why did you come here this season?" ”
"Isn't this the right season to enjoy the beach and the beautiful women?" Lu Xi followed Xiao Jing to the outside of the airport, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here to study, there are good schools in Miami?" ”
Xiao Jing replied: "UM is the most beautiful university in the United States, and there have been many celebrities here, and Stallone is one of them. ”
Knowing that Xiao Jing was studying law here, Lu Xi looked her up and down a few times playfully, and pretended to be surprised: "You came to learn acting?" I really don't see it. ”
Xiao Jing glanced at Lu Xi, didn't talk nonsense with him, and said, "Tell me why you came here, I don't believe you will come here to enjoy it alone." ”
Twelve o'clock is the hottest time of the day, out of the airport, Lu Xi stretched out his hand to cover the sun, and said, "Shall we go back to the hotel first and then talk?" I slept on the plane for three hours and still hadn't slept enough, and it was still early in the morning. ”
Xiao Jing nodded and beckoned to stop the car, saying, "If you hadn't come over, I would have had a lunch break at this time of the day." ”
took a taxi to the hotel, Lu Xi was not in a hurry to rest, first opened the laptop that Xiao Jing helped buy, and called Wan Xingnian to ask for detailed information about the two foreigners.
Wan Xingnian had been playing mystery with him before, only saying that these two people were engineers who were wise and expert-level people, and he didn't say anything else, and said that he would have unexpected surprises after he came over.
Lu Xiren rushed to Miami, Wan Xingnian no longer played mystery with him, the information passed on was very detailed, thirty-eight-year-old Brian, a member of the board of directors of Mozhi and a senior engineer, a JavaScript developer, and another Hispanic named Sancho is now Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, and is Brian's assistant.
Lu Xi never expected that the person he was about to meet would be Brian, who is known as the father of JS and the leader of the future development of the Firefox browser, which is really an unexpected surprise.
After carefully reading the information of the two and finding the phone number, Lu Xi couldn't wait to call it, and after a few words on the phone, the two sides made an appointment to meet at the hotel at two o'clock.
Seeing Lu Xi put down the phone, Xiao Jing took the notebook, looked at the information of the two, and asked, "What is the big move of Luzhu, and what does the Mozhi Organization do?" ”
Lu Xi replied: "This is an informal organization established before Netscape was acquired, and since Netscape was acquired by AOL, this organization does not belong to any company, and is now being commissioned by AOL to develop the next generation of browsers." ”
"Are you going to make a browser?" Xiao Jing was surprised, "Now that the market is occupied by Microsoft, why can't you think so much, and you won't spend it like this if you have money." ”
Lu Xi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, glanced at the sea outside the window, which was full of sunlight, turned around and smiled: "Can I say that you have long hair and short knowledge?" ”
Xiao Jinghun smiled indifferently: "I really have long hair and short knowledge, otherwise I wouldn't have missed your navigation website." ”
It has only been five months since the official launch of the navigation website, and with the promotion of micro-messaging, Internet ants and super rabbit security guards, there are now more than 2 million daily traffic, and it has become a must-have web page for many domestic netizens.
Because the navigation website uses Sohu's search engine, after Huilian Online was launched, Zhang Chaoyang learned that the popular navigation website in the market was related to Lu Xi, so he privately made a request for the acquisition of 800,000 US dollars, which he refused.
When he contacted Xiao Jing before coming to Miami, Lu Xi specially told her about it, and when he saw her mention it again, he said: "I don't regret taking medicine in this world, and it's too late to regret it." ”
"I don't regret it." Xiao Jing said, "It's just that I admit that my hair is long and my knowledge is short, I really don't see any chance for you to make a career out of the world of IE, so I can only continue to live in this boring school." ”
Lu Xi said with a smile: "You can't just look at the future from the current market, Netscape has gone from the overlord of the browser field to today, the time experienced is only a few years, maybe one day IE will fall off the altar, you should also know that in the Internet, especially in China, many users have an anti-authority mentality, whether it is IE or Netscape, no matter how big the market share is, they only use what they think is good, and what Luzhu wants to do is to meet the needs of users and retain users." ”
Xiao Jing chuckled and said, "I can't mean you, go to dinner, I'll invite you for lunch, and then you invite me, and I can't give you a free coolie." ”
Lu Xi smiled indifferently, the two went downstairs to have lunch, Lu Xi had something to do in the afternoon, and made an appointment with him to come back in the evening, and Xiao Jing went back to the school dormitory.
went upstairs for a nap, and when it came to the appointed time, Lu Xi went to the café downstairs with excitement, and as soon as the people sat down, Brian and Sancho came over to talk.
Miami's Asian population is less than that of immigrants in the Caribbean, and there are very few guests in the café in the afternoon.
Brian and Sancho introduced themselves, and after not much greeting, Brian went straight to the point with the maverick negotiation method of the Americans, and said: "Luzhu Technology wants to make a browser, can Mr. Lu talk to me about the general development plan." ”
IE with the integration of Microsoft's Windows system and Netscape's decision-making mistakes, the current hegemony, Netscape in order to save the defeat set up Mozhi, this organization independently operates the development of web browsers, email clients and HTML editors, because Netscape Browser once dominated the entire browser field, almost every member of the R&D team under Mozhi has a heart to dominate the world again.
As the father of JS and the leader of the future development of Firefox, Lu Xi did not want to miss this opportunity, and replied after thinking carefully: "The future of Luzhu is global, and I think our products can break Microsoft's monopoly and create another pattern." ”
Although Lu Xi's answer was brief, it was quite Brian's thoughts, he looked at the young Lu Xi, who was a little excessive, and after a slight silence, he said: "Because I don't know, most Americans are a little prejudiced against Chinese, but I don't, which is why Sancho and I can sit here, there are many Chinese in Silicon Valley, there are successful entrepreneurs, and there are excellent front-line engineers and technicians, and we have a good time working together......"
Brian changed his words and said, "Mr. Lu has the idea of breaking Microsoft's monopoly, we can continue to talk, I think Mr. Lu must be very curious about the reason why I left Mozhi." ”
Lu Xi smiled and nodded, after the unexpected surprise, he was indeed quite curious about why Brian left Mozhi.
Brian continued: "There are some things I think Mr. Lu should know, after Netscape established Moz, we developed a new kernel on the basis of the mosaic kernel, and gecko was developed in October last year, after Netscape was acquired by AOL, Mozhi was funded by AOL to help them develop the next generation of Netscape browser, we used gecko kernel for eight months according to Netscape's previous plan, but AOL was developed because our development cycle was too long, Suddenly asked us to adopt the mariner kernel and simply modify the previous version and launch it on the market, I and many people were reluctant to give up, and we also put forward our opinions, but they were not taken seriously, I didn't want to waste time making a doomed product, which is the fundamental reason why I left Mozhi. ”
