Zhang Hao's words made Mark stunned, Mark never thought that Zhang Hao would have such a request, originally he just thought that Zhang Hao was his cousin's friend and came to have fun, at best, he had some personal interest in what he studied.

And now, Zhang Hao directly offered to join the project and fund himself, which surprised Mark.

For Zhang Hao's ability on the computer, Mark recognizes, the key is the small program that he just demonstrated.

Although this small program is not very eye-catching, and it has no commercial use, it is absolutely no problem to make this program from a technical point of view, and Zhang Hao's divergent thinking and ideas are also necessary in computer research.

Although it has been decades since the invention of computers, the personal computer, also known as the PC, has not been around for a long time. With the advent of the PC, the computer has become a tool that can be used by ordinary people from a professional scientific research tool, especially after the emergence of the World Wide Web, the computer has begun to transform from a single individual to the entire network.

In this process, for those of them who are engaged in computers, in addition to having professional technology, they also need pioneering ideas and ideas, and the two are indispensable, and the progress of computers is precisely based on this basis.

Zhang Hao's skills are no problem, and his whimsical ideas also make Mark have the same feelings, so from this point of view, Mark did not refuse Zhang Hao to join this project, because this project was originally started because of Mark's interest.

"Of course it's okay if you want to join, but how do you solve two problems?" Mark frowned slightly and asked Zhang Hao directly.

"You say."

"The first problem is that we are not in the same city, and the communication between the two sides is a big problem, and it is impossible to communicate in time during the project, even if it is very troublesome to communicate by phone." Mark spoke.

Zhang Hao thought about it for a while and said that he could come over for a while and solve the project together, there are many holidays in American universities, and American universities are summer vacations from May, and they can start in September, which is a full four months. But the summer vacation in the United States is different from the summer vacation in China, because of the credit system, students can choose whether to take a vacation during the summer vacation or whether to stay in school, the latter can graduate early, just like Zhang Hao is now, so he can adjust the rest time at any time.

"OK, that won't be a problem." Mark was satisfied.

"What's the other question?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Another question is what you just mentioned? It's not a decimal number, it's a lot of money. Mike, as I said, if you need to complete the follow-up, it will cost at least $100,000 or more, maybe this money is not enough, and I can't judge how much it will take in the end, it depends on the follow-up progress. Mike, you ....... Speaking of this, Mark didn't know how to say it for a while, he had little impression of China, and Zhang Hao was the first Chinese he knew.

However, Mark remembers that China is a less developed country, although as a Chinese student who can study in the United States, Zhang Hao's family should be good in China, otherwise he would not have come to the United States to study.

But even so, $100,000 is not a small number, and it is difficult for an average American family to come up with $1,000 in cash on weekdays, according to the division of the US government, an annual income of $40,000 can reach the level of the middle class, and $100,000 is the sum of the income of many American wage earners for more than three years, and if it is a part-time job, this time is even longer.

Zhang Hao is just a Chinese student, he can come up with so much money? For this, Mark expressed doubts.

"There is no problem with funds, my family is in business in China, even if I can't personally come up with this money, it is not difficult to find investors. Now the key is whether you agree with my joining, and if you do, I'll solve this problem. Zhang Hao smiled and said to Mark, Mark thought about it and smiled, stretched out his hand to Zhang Hao and said, "As long as you can solve this problem, of course I will not refuse, welcome to join, Mike!" ”

"Hi Hi! Don't forget me! Jimmy on the side couldn't help but say something, and raised his right hand like a lucky cat and waved at the two of them, looking impatient.

Looking at him like this, Zhang Hao and Mark laughed at the same time, Jimmy also wanted to join, of course they welcomed, after all, Jimmy is not only Mark's cousin, but also Zhang Hao's good friend, and Jimmy's computer skills are not bad, they themselves will not refuse.

In just a few words, a small group of three people was formed, and at this point none of the three young people knew that they had made history at this moment, a decision that was enough to change the world.

After determining the group of the project, the next thing is to talk about the details, because of Song Yuanchao and Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Hao has been no stranger to business since he was a child, and although the United States has human feelings, sometimes it is more about public and private affairs, and in many aspects of cooperation, business is the basic foundation.

What's more, this project also has Zhang Hao's investment in it, which is not as simple as the previous funding given to Mark by Yin Linos University. Yin Linis University's previous funding took the school channel, and there were few commercial components, but now Zhang Hao has taken over the investment, and it has changed from pure funding to commercial investment.

In view of this situation, the three decided to set up a company, in which Zhang Hao, as an investor, held 60% of the company's shares with an investment of 100,000 US dollars, Mark was the core of the project, using his current technology to take a 35% stake in the company, and Jimmy the little fat man accounted for the last 5% of the shares.

It stands to reason that it doesn't matter whether Jimmy's shares are given or not, at least in Mark's opinion, there is no need to give Jimmy, even if he is Jimmy's cousin. However, Zhang Hao's thinking is that of an Oriental, Jimmy is his friend, and he can know Mark and cooperate, and Jimmy's role in it cannot be replaced.

What's more, Jimmy's level on the computer is also very good, since everyone works together, it is not appropriate to directly exclude Jimmy from the shareholders, so Zhang Hao suggested giving 5% of the shares to Jimmy, which is to put it bluntly, it is taken out of Zhang Hao's original shares, since Zhang Hao did this, Mark naturally will not object, and immediately shrugged his shoulders and agreed to this suggestion.

A simple document is drafted, and the next step is the registration of the company.

Since Zhang Hao became an investor, the project could not continue to use NCSA's resources, and at the same time, it had to be directly separated from NCSA's work to avoid future technical entanglements.

Considering this, coupled with the actual situation, they are ready to register the company in California, and this suggestion has been well received.

There is no problem with funds for Zhang Hao, and the money in his Citibank has not been touched so far, and the money is enough to invest.

Zhang Hao is in charge of the specific company registration, and he is very familiar with California, after all, Song Chaoyuan's company and laboratory in the United States are in California, and it is not difficult to register a company there. And if the company is registered in California, maybe you can use the resources of Song Chaoyuan's company, at least that's what Zhang Hao thinks.

After Independence Day, the registration of the company was in full swing, and Zhang Hao entrusted a lawyer to register the company in two days, and rented a good office space in California as the company's office and work place.

This place is the location of Song Yuanchao's company, because of the relationship between Zhang Hao and Song Yuanchao, the California company has been very happy to give convenience, but it has saved Zhang Hao and them a lot of trouble.

After the company was registered, Zhang Hao's investment funds were also in place, and the name of the company was thought of by the three of them, and the company gave the name of scape according to Mark's meaning, and Zhang Hao pondered and felt that just calling scape could not reflect all of it, so he proposed to be in savigator to express the role of their research project.

This suggestion was endorsed by Mark and Jimmy, so the name of the company was finally decided, or, also known as Web Navigator, or Netscape Navigator, and the company was born.

After the company was founded, Zhang Hao and Jimmy contacted Mark, who had resigned from NCSA, and the three met in California, and then went to the newly furnished office together.

When I got to the place, everyone was very satisfied, although the office location was not large, but the layout was very good, compared to when the Dell company was just established, Dell used his own garage as an office location is much stronger, and there is a place to live in the office, which also saves them from finding another place to live.

In the following days, the three of them put themselves into busy work, staying in the office every day and not going anywhere, for this project, Mark moved all his computers here, and Zhang Hao also spent money to configure a few new computers with good performance for work needs.

For more than a month, the three of them basically didn't even go out of the office door, and worked every day and night.

At this time, I don't pay attention to any Chinese and Western food, I can fill my stomach when I work, and even go out to buy is really no way to go to the supermarket, usually eat not to get a sandwich or something, or call for pizza delivery, busy and tired, lie down on the sofa for a while, or go to the back room to sleep, wake up and wash your face and continue.

When the last code was finally knocked down, Zhang Hao and Jimmy watched Mark run the software successfully, and the three of them let out bursts of cheers at the same time.

It's not easy! After nearly a month and a half, they finally completed the project, came up with the software that could be used in practice, and recalled the previous episode, everything seemed like a dream.

For so long, the image of the three of them has become sloppy, all of them have long hair and haggard faces, the clothes on their bodies have not been washed for a long time, and there are sauce marks on their chests. If you go out like this, you have to be treated as a homeless person, you look at me, I look at you, and the three of them laughed at the same time.

After the software was completed, the initial investment funds had already been used up, and Zhang Haoduo had to make preparations, otherwise he would have almost fallen short.

After getting the software, everyone's heart also let go, as soon as the heart was put down, tiredness hit, and he didn't even take a shower and fell asleep with his head upside down, this sleep was dark, and he slept for more than 20 hours, and when he opened his eyes again, Zhang Hao felt that the fatigue was swept away, and the energy returned to the body.
