In the media of various countries, there are big close-ups of a clumsy and panicked young man in the East, as well as incoherent quibbles, and the image of a second-class young man who has done wrong and bad things alive.

The media knows what people like. Aren't all those young hackers in the middle of the sand like this - superior ability and ignorance of the world.

Every now and then, there will be some big news. And this one is one of the unlucky ones. You must know that the European and American media will take the initiative to cater to the people.

So they'll do some of the necessary editing. This is absolutely objective and fair! At most, it's a ...... Filter.

Ahem! Shut up anyway! We're talking about freedom of the press! In the media of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Brother De also concocted a strange article: "We all know that Brother Yuan's talent is beyond doubt. Not only has he published several best-selling books, but he is also an excellent software engineer. However, Brother Yuan's conduct is equally bad. In addition to the rogue literati circulating in the mainland, now Europe and the United States have given him another nickname - villain! Combined, it's a rogue villain! ”

"Then why did Brother Yuan become a hooligan villain? Even his fame spread to Europe and the United States? It was because he made and spread the computer disease dandelion ......"

In this matter, the author decided to unconditionally support Brother Yuan. Even if he is a hooligan villain, he is also our hooligan villain in Hong Kong, why should he give it to others...... "As soon as this strange article came out, it immediately attracted great attention in Hong Kong.

The upper-level figures also have to take care of their own identities, and they are not good at expressing their opinions clearly. But do the people at the bottom manage so much?

mmp！ Even if it is a computer disease, it is also to win glory for Hong Kong! Didn't you see that the ghost was already crying wolf?

Again...... We've already given up a good loneliness! Can you add to the old ghost? No matter what method is used, most Hong Kong people still feel the darkness.

Anyway, Brother Yuan's scourge is those foreign devils, then it's okay! And the Western media finally dug out Li Yuan's identity and linked those identities together.

Lie down! He is a historian and the author of several controversial series on military history; He is an entrepreneur, in just a few years, from a Chinese mainland mountain citizen who has nothing to a rich man who owns a listed company; He was an adventurer and a daring to stand up to international refugee organizations in Africa; He's also a programmer ape and a hacker.

Not only recently did Dandelion make this computer disease alone. And I have also developed a detection software before, I heard that it is

The "$5 Billion Bank" has contributed to the detection of the "$5 billion bank" and has been commended by the FBI and other judicial institutions...... If it's a single item, it's at best a curiosity.

But everything is put on one person? It's newsworthy, and who isn't curious?

The most famous is the "Tonight Show" program: in an exclamation, the program broadcast all the picture highlights of Li Yuan in the past.

In the midst of laughter, the host Lai Nuo commented: "I'm sorry, I didn't associate this Chinese Li with each other before." The contrast is a bit big, could it be a multiple? As soon as the camera turned, a picture of Martin being interviewed appeared: "You are asking about the villain?" I admit that Dandelion was indeed done by him, and it was his prank on fido. ”

"Why does it spread computer sickness? Shouldn't something so fun be shared? ”

"He's a complete villain! Damn the soul! And it's a rat hiding in the gutter. Thank you journalists for your help in revealing the true identity of this soul......"

"Wait a minute, you seem to have a lot of grudges against Lee."

"We'd rather call him a villain! On our BBS, almost everyone wants to beat him up. ”

"I'm sorry, I still don't understand, did Lee offend you?"

"Miss Reporter, I suggest you get to know Li for yourself. You will find out how hateful and unworthy he is......"

"......" laughed, returning to the picture of the host Lyno: "We seem to have witnessed an inward bar between a group of hackers. ”

"I thought we were the only TV shows that would attack each other. Son of a bitch CBS, shit ABS, oh, and those NBC high-level idiots! Don't even try to deduct my salary! ”

"Have all those nerds with computers learned to quarrel?"

"Is there any hope for the future of our America?"

"Sorry, there's a minor bug here. Li is Chinese. Aren't the Chinese all soft eggs and weak chickens? Why do you nerds have to bully him? In the program, it immediately switched to the picture of Li Yuan at the press conference: "Don't all men like this...... No, it isn't. That's called art appreciation! ”

"Uh...... It's all about adults. ”

"Please forgive me. I'm still an ignorant child. Leno held back a wicked smile and exaggerated expression: "Wow——! The show ended with laughter and applause............ As in the past, there is a lot of buzz abroad, and there are no waves at home.

Regarding Dandelion, a computer disease, except for the professional reports of a few computer publications in China, there is no lace news at all, and there is no propaganda effect.

Even in those professional reports, the transliteration names of foreign media are completely quoted, and they even think that Li Yuan is Chinese?

I haven't figured it out. In the period when there was no Internet, the distance between China and abroad was indeed far away, as if it were two very strange worlds.

And the influence of computer disease is even more negligible. There aren't even a few personal computers in China.

As for the aftermath of dandelions? It should be said that in this era, young hackers are still quite tolerant.

Isn't it just a group of young people who like to mess around? They're still a bunch of kids! So when the lawyer reached out to the Los Angeles judicial department and reached a settlement agreement, he finally received a $1,500 fine.

To be honest, it's not as much as the lawyer's fees. To clarify: the $1,500 fine is not because of computer problems, but because of the three all-natural art photos.

After all, there is always some punishment for spreading that thing. And the computer is alone? Let's be a fart!

Of course, when the settlement agreement was reached, in Orange County, Los Angeles, the U.S. headquarters of Parallel Line Network Technology was established in a very low-key manner, and a local law firm was signed for the first time.

Anyone who understands this routine understands that this law firm was privately recommended by the judicial department. However, in this new headquarters, today ushered in ...... Second employee.

"Hello, Martin. I'm Elna. I'm the sales manager here. Erna warmly welcomed her new colleague.

"Hello." Martin looked at the empty building in confusion. Erna couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Martin." It's really just the two of us now. You're the technical manager. Martin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Fake." Are we all managers? What about employees? Where is the villain? I've resigned! Erna shrugged: "You should call Lee the boss in the future." Just for the sake of $1,000 a week? ”

"Okay, okay! I love the dollar. Even if that soul is a villain! But can you tell us what we should do? ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Erna rolled her eyes,

"All I know is that the boss of the parallel line is Lee. The company is the dual headquarters of China and the United States. Both of us have increased our weekly wages to $1,000. Also, I don't have to care about those shitty disgusting chicken feet anymore. ”

"Chicken feet? What do you mean? ”

"That's ......" The two were talking, and the lawyer Huo Laien rushed in, holding a large stack of materials in his hand: "Elna." And, hello boy, you're supposed to be Martin, right? This is the information that the boss has just sent over. As the head of legal affairs of the parallel line, you need to sign this non-disclosure agreement first. ”

“…… All right. Follow the boss's request now. We started promoting the Parallelline Browser. ”

"Wait, Attorney Hollyon. Just the three of us? ”

"Of course not. Hehe. To be more accurate, just the two of you. ”

"! The villain's soul, the bitch-raised capitalist. ”

"Whirlwind Knight, I suggest you compliment our boss to your face. Hehe. But don't worry, do you see such a large office space? As long as you make achievements, employees will have them, bonuses will be available, and even incentive equity will be available. By the way, that's what the boss said. ”

"Fake, why don't I believe a word?"

"Martin, have you signed a contract?"

"I've signed it."

"That's fine. Friendly reminder: Please look at the number of liquidated damages again. Hehe. ”

"Lie down!"

“……”…… After the dandelion incident, Li Yuan immediately established the headquarters of the parallel line in the United States.

Because there is a very important problem with the promotion of browsers - if there is no browser, how can users download the browser?

For computer IT professionals, it may be possible to achieve it through a series of complex operations. But for the average user, it becomes a question akin to the chicken-and-egg that came first.

Therefore, it can only be promoted through the Internet. Of course, it is also possible to make floppy disks for installation and sell them through sales companies.

However, the cost of sales of the latter method is quite high. In the original history, Netscape achieved a sales miracle through word-of-mouth diffusion within the Internet.

As a generation in the Internet era, Netscape has created many firsts. The first one achieved online promotion, and the first one achieved online sales.

And Li Yuan's parallel lines are simulating this pattern. More than 700,000 e-mail addresses have been collected through the Trojan program, which is more than half of the existing users.

Is it difficult to reach all Internet users in a short period of time? Of course, since there is already Mosaic Browser, which is a basic version of Netscape Browser.

In the face of such a strong competitor, Li Yuan didn't want to make too much of a fuss. The so-called - quietly enter the city, don't shoot.

Before competitors are discovered, it is necessary to seize market share as much as possible. So in a small building in the middle of nowhere, after the establishment of the company's headquarters.

Li Yuan first adjusted from the inside and arranged for Erna to come over. Then he issued a call order on BBS, hoping to have a big bull and a little calf to join.

However, none of the other programmers have heard back, and they themselves have relatively high incomes and have little interest in this kind of new company.

There are just too many small companies that have disappeared in Silicon Valley in an instant. Besides, it is impossible for Li Yuan to reveal on BBS that he is going to be a browser.

There is only a newcomer like Martin who is easy to fool. Of course, because he had only finished high school and his income was not high, he was attracted by the $1,000 weekly salary.

In the initial stage, Li Yuan has already developed the parallel line browser and has more than 700,000 email mailboxes, so it does not need a very large team, a few people are enough.

Even if there is a shortage of manpower in the future, at most let Huo Laien find a few more handy workers. In the midst of this silence, many Internet users received an email that Parallelline Network Technology has developed the latest Parallelline Browser to bring you a supreme Internet surfing experience.

Specifically, it is divided into free trial version, paid boutique version and packaged luxury version, and the charging standards are as follows...... In fact, there is no difference between the free trial version and the paid premium version, and at most a few small features have been added.

However, the current software sales are like this, basically relying on the sale of installation floppy disks to collect money.

The other is the Enterprise User License. That's another charge. Perhaps in later China, users have long been accustomed to free use, and there are even a lot of pirated copies.

But in Europe and the United States during this period, it was basically this sales model. This is just like the future of the online game industry, foreign countries are used to paid downloads, and almost all of them are free in China, but they need to be recharged.

These are the two profit models. Here, Li Yuan is nothing more than following the customs of the locals and adopting this charging model.

If you're free, that's going to get weird instead. And how can it be low-key? As for packing the Deluxe Edition?

In fact, it is the boutique version, plus a discount coupon for making a homepage. It can help you create a very simple personal homepage.

The simplest personal homepage is almost a discount coupon plus a dozen dollars is enough. It is also possible to create a fully functional business homepage.

Even the construction of the LAN server of the company can be outsourced. There may be no bottom to this fee. Now that you have a browser, you should also have the need to make a homepage, right?

In fact, Li Yuan didn't think about making money through the homepage, nothing more than providing some value-added services. Because that's not the point.

Even the browser is a wave of quick money, and I don't care much about the repetitive work that makes the homepage, which is troublesome, has no technical content, and doesn't have much money.

And just like that, all of a sudden, a parallel line appeared on the Internet for no apparent reason!
