Chapter 169: The drunkard's intention is not to drink
"Mr. Taylor, it's great that we're seeing each other again......"
When he came to Silicon Valley, Yao Fei naturally did not forget to go to the Parker Institute halfway up Stanford, and this time he spoke with Kearns on the phone early and obtained permission to visit it again.
"Yao Fei, welcome to you, Pete didn't embarrass you, right?"
The acquisition of a small company like Noller with a market value of only a few million was originally a very unheard trivial, and it was only at the beginning of the acquisition that Noeller wanted to artificially speculate the price before it was in the newspapers.
But it seems that Bob of Warburg Pincus didn't want them to fly over the technology company's business too smoothly, so he spread the content of the OSI model that Yao Fei took out to intimidate Noller.
At that time, DIX led by DEC, Intel, and Xerox was holding an Internet conference in New York, and they released "Ethernet, a Local Area Network: Data Link Layer and Physical Layer Specification Version 1.0", which is the famous Ethernet Blue Book, which also became the DIX version of the Ethernet 1.0 specification.
The big move that people have made on their side has just achieved some results, and you flew over the technology company and immediately threw out a comprehensive open network interconnection reference model, what does this mean? If it weren't for the fact that Kearns saw that Yao Fei still had extensive cooperation with Xerox and Feiyue Technology, he would not be willing to suppress the opposition of some people and agree to Yao Fei's re-entry into the Parker Institute, and among these opponents, Pete was impressively listed. He wished he could deny entry to any outsider.
"No, it's going very well, Taylor, how is the recent job, is everything going well?"
He hadn't cared since the OSI reference model was released, and he naturally didn't know what Taylor meant.
"Everything is working and the good news for you is that, following your advice, we have made a very big breakthrough in our Fred project.
Based on your suggestion, we've rewritten the core program. Whether it's the recognition conversion rate of sound. It's still a big improvement from the last time you were here......"
As soon as he said this, Taylor was immediately excited, and Fred's project was the core project of their vision to create the office of the future. This project moves forward. There is no doubt that it will also play a very positive role in the progress of other projects.
"Very remarkable progress. I thought it would take you at least a year to get the job done, but I didn't expect you to be much more productive than I expected......"
Hearing Taylor's words, even Yao Fei felt the difference. Exception handling mechanism and fuzzy recognition, although these are very easy to say, just a few words, but to really implement them, even if they are partially implemented, it requires not only a lot of mechanism thinking, but also the most reasonable design and the most concise executable program.
How much work is involved, even if Yao Fei does it himself, using the most efficient JAVA and betting, he will feel his scalp tingle, not to mention the scientists who only have low-level assembly and relatively high-level C and C++.
It is claimed to have gathered 76 of the best 100 computer scientists in the United States, which is really terrifying, but at the same time, Yao Fei is glad and a little gloating.
Fortunately, Xerox lacks ambitious and courageous decision-makers, otherwise, if people take the Parker Institute as the core and develop products with their research results, this is completely invincible, and no one can stop it, Canon can't do it, IBM can't do it, Intel can't do it, even if it's Yao Fei, he has to think carefully about how to break through the encirclement of the other party.
"Of course, we have the best scientists here, so please don't doubt our abilities. By the way, Yao Fei, I heard that your company is also interested in network technology and is ready to enter this field? ”
The development of network technology is also a top priority in their future office plans, and in this regard, the arrogant capitalists of their company finally realized the importance of this technology, when they proudly announced their three-way work "Ethernet, a Local Area Network: Data Link Layer and Physical Layer Specification Version 1.0".
A company that has only been established for just over a year and has made brilliant achievements in other computer fields, but quietly ran out of their network model that insiders know at a glance that it is the future development trend, and their Ethernet specification only involves the first four layers according to their model, but their model introduces all aspects from physical lines to computer terminal human-computer interaction interfaces, so Taylor is full of curiosity about Yao Fei at this time.
"Yes, the future is the future of the Internet, and I have almost seen its wonderful future, so in order not to be eliminated, our company must enter this field of Internet development!"
A computer without a network is a soulless shell, and with the Internet, the world will become extremely exciting, that is, another great era after the industrial revolution is coming, and Yao Fei has already sensed its majestic breath.
"Our web development team thinks so too, it seems that we have a lot of common language, if you want, I can take you to see their research......"
personally got the admission of the parties, and it seems that the news circulating in the industry is also true, which makes Taylor's heart have a lot of recognition in addition to curiosity.
"Thank you for your kindness, I don't think this is necessary, speaking of which, in the field of the Internet, we are competitors to each other, if your person in charge knows that you took me to visit your Internet laboratory without authorization, we will definitely have some trouble when we are ......"
ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING THE MOBILE PHONES ALL OVER THE STREETS, COMPUTERS EVERYWHERE, AND THE MIXED COMBINATION OF TABLETS, IPADS, AND WEARABLE NETWORK TERMINAL DEVICES, YAO FEI COULDN'T AFFORD MUCH INTEREST IN THIS KIND OF PRIMITIVE NETWORK LABORATORY.
And the most important thing is that he must constantly brush up Taylor's sense of identity with him, not only can he not do anything that causes chaos and difficulty to the other party, but also reminds the other party of his kindness with "kindness".
"Well, what you said is very reasonable, Pete's guy is very bad with us, if he finds out about this, maybe he will really cause us some trouble, the Internet lab can't be visited, then I can take you to other places, I think Fred's guys will be very happy if they know that you are here......"
There are many laboratories in the Parker Institute, so if you can't do one, you can just change to the others.
"Director, thank you very much for the invitation, but I think now I should go back, I am going to hold an oriental cocktail party in the evening, if you are interested, you can come and attend, the more people come, the happier I will be, there is a time and address written on it, and I look forward to your arrival......"
