This time he came to Hong Kong, in fact, Li Yuan was completely prepared. Even if the minus 20 down payment plan fails, he still has a backup money plan - the browser!

Since the funding gap is too big, how many more books do you want to copy? It shouldn't be of much use. It's better to find a way to make a wave of quick money in the Internet industry that you are familiar with.

At this time, people do not realize that they are witnessing the arrival of a new era, that is, the Internet age!

Just last year, the year before last, there were only a few dozen Internet servers in the world. But by 93 years this year, it had already exceeded 1 million units. By the end of the year, it would have reached 3 to 4 million units.

If we wait until next year, the number will reach 8 to 9 million units. By '95, there were 18 million households in the U.S. with a modem.

In this era, the Internet in the United States is about equal to the whole world, and users in other places are almost negligible.

For example, Daifuku Media's ...... Horse Racing Underground Bet Now! They just pulled a special line, which is basically an internal LAN, with very little time on the Internet, and it is particularly troublesome to surf the Internet. A maximum of one overseas user (outside North America) can be counted.

So in this context, you need a browser in the first place. Otherwise, every time you go online, you need a lot of very complicated operations, and a lot of operation is like a tiger, and you can open a web page in half a day? If you want to open another web page, you have to do it again?

Obviously, this is very unfriendly to newbies. And the threshold is very high, blocking the vast majority of layman users who don't know much.

In fact, this is also true.

Just this spring, a few months ago, Anderson, a computer student at the National Supercomputer Application Center (NCSA) at Universita Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in the United States, was tired of working for all evil capitalists every day.

In fact, this is the same as in China, many graduate students are also tired of working for their "bosses" and doing ineffective dirty work. There is nothing new under the sun, and this is almost the case in every country.

It's just that Anderson is very talented, and his action is off the charts. In the end, together with a colleague, he released a browser called Mosaic, which later became Netscape, on and off for three months.

And domestic sand withering netizens use transliteration and call it "mosaic". Anyway, the name is not very auspicious, and later there are a lot of mosaics on the Internet, and basic trust between people has been lost.

This is actually the first version of Netscape Explorer. Of course, like many domestic college students and graduate students, the honors and achievements are from the school! It's all the boss's (mentor's)! Anderson didn't even catch a fart?

So after leaving college, Anderson quickly secured venture capital and founded Netscape. The Netscape Explorer, the second version, was developed and was a great success.

In August 95, Netscape went public and became a generation in the Internet era. Anderson himself has likewise become a billionaire. became an upstart on the Internet.

However, the day after Netscape went public, Microsoft also launched an epoch-making product - Windows 95 operating system! And free bundles of your own browser IE.

By the way, IE is a MOSAIC that Microsoft buys directly from UIUC using its own money capabilities. In fact, it was Anderson himself who was beating himself.

The rest of the story goes without saying. The love-hate relationship between Microsoft and Netscape. And Microsoft used its monopoly position and free browsers to finally dry Netscape.

In the end, Netscape was acquired by AOL (AOL). The generation of the Internet has also come to a tragic end.

However, before the tragic end, Netscape simply disclosed its source code. On the basis of this source code, the new generation of program apes has developed a new generation of browsers, Firefox......

And almost all the browsers in the future originated from Anderson's Netscape......

……

After understanding this, you should know that Li Yuan was not very interested in developing browsers in the past.

The first is that the conditions are not ripe. There is not even an Internet in China, and it is still a fart?

The second is the gloomy future. Or rather, there is no future at all.

In front of the giant Microsoft, even Netscape is dead, and Li Yuan doesn't think he has the ability to survive.

And Microsoft is using its monopoly position, which is not at all something that can be compensated for by burning money or technology. Besides, the browser is so functional, and the technical aspect can't make a flower? It can't form a technical crush. So in the face of Microsoft's monopoly position, there is really no way to break the situation, and it is doomed to a fiasco.

Taking a step back 10,000 steps, the future of browsers is an all-free trend. How can you make money for free? Is it that you and Microsoft are entangled in the fight to the death, just for a free result?

That's just a full meal!

The last point is simplicity.

By the time a few decades later, the technology of the browser has matured quite well. To be honest, it can be easily developed by finding a few university monks, and the difficulty is not even comparable to the graduation thesis.

This kind of thankless work, Li Yuan didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.

To illustrate, the last point is the most important! It's so simple, brother, I'm not interested!

Therefore, at the beginning, Li Yuan did not want to touch any of the three hot spots in the early Internet era - portals, browsers and search engines.

These three hot spots are indeed the most basic things. But the basic things do not represent the profit model, nor does it mean that the technical difficulty is high. These three hot spots are indeed indispensable in the future, but they are also half-dead, and all of them are free.

To put it mildly, if you really need it in the future, you can pay for it. Why bother burning money yourself? It's better to have a few more years of salted fish.

However, Li Yuan wants salted fish, but the pig girl doesn't allow it? The eldest lady came to a surprise attack and quickly acquired the maritime loan, which immediately made them face the dilemma of funds.

Now there is no choice but to use off-disk tricks such as browsers.

But then again, simplicity has the benefit of being simple.

On the one hand, the difficulty of programming is not great, relying on Li Yuan's ability, there is no problem to fight alone.

It's like Anderson developed Mosaic, with only one companion to help, in just three months. And it's also intermittent spare time. All the code is just over 9000 lines?

On the other hand, it is now standing on this outlet. Just like the netscape in the original history, debut is the peak! It is to become a pig on the tuyere.

Li Yuan will definitely not have the ambition of Netscape. But now that you've stood on this outlet, you can always do it if you're full of food and drink, right? It's not too demanding – easy circle for a wave of quick money!

So after receiving a call from Huang Jiaojiao, Li Yuan has actually started programming the browser. And in addition to making movies, I wrote the program of the browser. It only took more than a month.

Truth be told, in Mosaic, Netscape Primary, the difficulty is not a programming aspect, but a development idea.

Mosaic wasn't the first browser in its history, but it took over the market and shaped the browser of the future. It was the first browser to look like modern PC software because it had modern things like buttons, scrollbars, and drop-down menus.

But perhaps the most important thing about Mosaic is that a new HTML element "IMG" was born, so that for the first time, web pages can put pictures and text together!

At the time, the decision to extend HTML to process images in this way was controversial in some ways, mainly because image files tend to be much larger than text files, and many people believe that transferring images is a waste of scarce bandwidth, and that too many pictures can cause the entire network to be paralyzed.

But Anderson insists that people don't overwhelm the web with boring image files, and even if they do, he thinks the problem can be solved by increasing the load capacity of the system.

To put it more clearly, Anderson doesn't know how the Internet will develop in the future, and the current hardware does limit the development of the Internet.

But Anderson just dared to gamble! Betting on exponential growth in Internet users and betting on hardware devices, especially bandwidth issues, will soon be resolved.

There is no doubt that Anderson was right! Netscape was also a huge success!

However, Li Yuan doesn't need to gamble at all? Reborn has long known the correct answer, and he will definitely follow this correct line of thought. That is, he and Anderson "thought of going together."

But on the other hand, the real Netscape browser, that is, the second generation, has become a very mature commercial software.

It was only after Netscape was founded that Anderson built a technical team and developed it for more than a year. And their development is still all night, it's definitely not 996, it's almost 007. The number of employees who couldn't stand the resignation alone reached 15 successively.

Key Netscape also created a front-end scripting language: JavaScript.

Anyone who knows anything about computer languages should know it. Decades later, JavaScript is still one of the hottest languages, and it was even more popular before Li Yuan's rebirth.

Li Yuan is certainly proficient in JavaScript. But let him create and perfect this computer language in an all-round way? Even if it's a copy, I can't do it?

And with such a large workload, Li Yuan will definitely not be able to rely on him alone. Plus, there's no need to be so far ahead, otherwise you'll be pulled in and sliced.

So in the end, the browser developed by Li Yuan was slightly ahead of the Mosaic browser. But it's a little bit behind Netscape.

In this way, not only can you stand on this outlet, but also will not arouse the suspicion of others. All you want is to be safe and secure!

Besides, if you do the browser in one step, how can you upgrade it in the future? How much can you make a few waves of money, right?

……

In the office, Li Yuan was discussing the browser with Huang Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, your Yongliang has completed its historical mission. The entrepot trade business will be given to Brother Dongsheng......"

"Why?" The eldest lady immediately blew up, like a little milk cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Why should I give my things to the second brother?" It's good that I don't go to rob him. Also, did my Yongliang provoke you? You can't get used to it? ”

"Listen to what I'm saying. Yongliang's software business is discounted by 2 million ......"

"Li Yuan! I sue you! 2 million? Are you calling Hanako? Do you know how much I can earn in a year? ”

"Hey! Grandma, I'm talking about dollars! Finding that the eldest lady, a pregnant woman, had a very unstable temper, Li Yuan hurriedly finished speaking, "I have registered a parallel network technology in the capital. My parallelline browser is a stake in technology, which is converted into $3 million, and your software business is converted into $2 million. ”

Hearing that it was a dollar, the eldest lady glanced at her: "You said it earlier." You have a lot of tricks, why use dollars? ”

"Isn't it just to deceive ...... Isn't it, to convince the United States to come stupid? Li Yuan explained with a smile, "With those software businesses, we can inflate the valuation of parallel lines." The stocks we own will also be worth a lot of money. Then blow the bubble bigger and bigger! It's best to list on NASDAQ as soon as possible......"

At this moment, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel excited, and finally looked forward to the old routine that he was very familiar with. Or the Internet industry has a lot of water!

"Hey, what's the broken name, and it's still a parallel line?" Huang Jiaojiao scoffed, "I don't want a joint venture, I want $2 million." Xiao Yuanzi, is this what you said? No repentance. Hey, hey, hey. ”

(⊙?⊙)

Li Yuan is inexplicable, how did this little fragrant pig become stupid? What kind of brain circuit is she? "Jiaojiao, don't you know about financing and listing? And this time it is listed on the NASDAQ in the United States! Let's start making the hell money! ”

"Hmph, it's the United States, I'm not at ease. I still know people in Hong Kong who went to the United States? Who knows what tricks the ghost will play? Don't be left with no bones left by them. ”

"Not that exaggerated, right?"

"How can it be exaggerated? Brother Kochin is a lesson in point. You don't want to think about it, how did our Han Palace Bank come about? ”

“……”

Hearing this reason, Li Yuan was speechless.

Indeed, Hong Kong businessmen in Hong Kong are extremely wary of foreign devils, because they have suffered too many losses. And the eating of foreign devils has never been very good.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan changed his reason: "Jiaojiao, then we don't have a loss, right?" I made a software, Yongliang is just an agency business? Successfully listed, we are the seaview tender model...... No, it isn't. Sports cars with sea views! ”

"Li Yuan, I'll sue you! Don't think I don't care about what you're out of here. If you dare to be sorry for me and the baby, the old lady has checked you! Let's talk about it, is there a tender model? ”

"Not really."

"Full of lies. I warn you again......"

"Wait, aren't we talking about parallel financing and listing? It's that we have nothing to lose. Big, small? ”

"Don't try to change the subject. Let's talk about the tender model first! Hum. ”
