wild 1995

Chapter 99 Report
When Di Ye returned to Yuncheng this time, he mainly dealt with three things.

The first thing is to report the results of the research and development team to Dean Fei, and then send some fresh graduates to Pengcheng.

After nearly a month of tossing, Su Zhaonian's group is now able to work, and they are doing a good job, but the number is too small, and they need to continue to train talents in a new way, so as to ensure that the team will not fall apart when they graduate in July.

The second thing is to apply for a passport and prepare materials for a visa to the United States.There is nothing to say about this. In 1995, the United States was the center of the world's Internet. Whether it was to make money or recruit talents, you had to go there.

The third thing is to attend the shareholder meeting of the Flash Gold Network Technology Company.Under the management of Liu Shaosong, Flash Gold successfully opened the Internet access service for the Yuncheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau three days ago, firing the first shot, and will soon expand to other places.

At 9:40 in the morning, Di Ye arrived at Yunda University in a Mitsubishi space car. He first sent Huang Ya to the main teaching building for class, then went straight to the School of Computer Science of Yunda University, and walked into Dean Fei's office.

"Dean, long time no see, you look good."

"Haha, just as I was about to call you, you came here by yourself, which happened to save a few cents on the phone bill. Come and sit down, and tell me about the specific situation of the R&D team."

"It is said that we just arrived in Pengcheng on March 3, and we had a burst of inspiration that night, and wrote a software called Oleander... After the Athlon browser was launched on March 5, the scene was crowded with people..."

Dean Fei has not changed much, he is still a skinny old man, but there is a brand new computer on his desk, which looks more dignified than before. After listening to Di Ye's report, he said with a smile: "Your research and development team has made remarkable achievements. Not only has the browser been improved, but also new image formats and oleanders, especially oleanders... Sigh, I really don't know what you think, such a good piece of software, why do you have such a weird name."

"If Dean Fei doesn't like it, he can organize the teachers in the courtyard to create a closed-source product based on oleander, rename it, and then sell it for money."

After Liu Shaosong’s inspection in Pengcheng, he brought the original version of oleander back to Yunda. Dean Fei had tried it a long time ago. He liked this software with traditional C/S architecture very much. Hearing this, he was very moved and asked, “Can we really do this?”

"Of course, but you must add instructions to the document according to the requirements of the Little Red Flower license."

"That's no problem. I still have this bit of copyright awareness."

The more Dean Fei thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Piracy is rampant in China now. Oleander is so easy to use. Sooner or later, someone will take it and change the interface and sell it everywhere as their own product. Instead of letting them succeed, we should do it ourselves. After all, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders. Although the copyright of oleander is yours, you are from Yunda."

Di Ye couldn't help laughing, and suggested: "How about we cooperate to establish a new school-run enterprise?"

When it comes to school-run enterprises, Dean Fei's originally good mood suddenly turned sour, and he said angrily: "If I knew that Internet access services are so profitable, I should have asked for more gold shares."

For the Yuncheng Internet project this time, Di Yan sent out invitations to four companies in the form of public bidding, namely Huawei, UTStarcom, AsiaInfo, and Flash Gold. The first two companies rejected them on the grounds that they "have not started this business yet."

"The cost was less than 17 U.S. dollars, and it was completed in two weeks. A full profit of 25 U.S. dollars was made. In the end, the boy surnamed Wang took most of it. Our college dispatched 3 professors and more than a dozen students. It took a lot of hard work to get a fraction. Do you think it is a loss?!"

When Flash Gold was first established, Di Ye was in a vacuum period when the Yingfeng business was over and the browser business had not yet started, so he tricked Dean Fei to cooperate and use Yunda as a talisman against the second generation of officials. As a result, Dean Fei was too conservative and only wanted 20% of the shares. Now it is too late to regret it.

At this time, Di Ye has already grown his wings. If he wants to be famous and famous, he needs capital and capital. He no longer needs this amulet. He said, "Dean Fei, if you can agree to one condition, I can donate part of my 20% shares to the school."

"You think it through before you speak. That's tens of thousands of dollars in dividends, and there will be more in the future."

"Do I look like someone who cares about money?"

Dean Fei was even more upset when he heard the words, and complained: "Our Yunda helped you get a tax-free quota for buying imported cars, and you only donated 20 to the college. Jinling University didn't give you any benefits. You donated 20 as soon as you went. Is it reasonable?"

"How about I go and get the 20 back, and then let Professor Xu call you every day?"

"Forget it, forget it, there is no reason to get back the donated money."

Dean Fei immediately gave up, and stopped mentioning this, and asked, "What conditions do you want to put forward for donating the shares of Shining Gold to the school?"

"After going to Pengcheng this time, I found that based on open source projects, learning while teaching has greatly improved the abilities of the team members. It can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. So I plan to set up an experimental project in the school next semester to promote this teaching method."

"This is a good thing. You don't need to donate shares. I agree now."

"Dean, it's useless for you to agree. My experimental project is very large-scale, and several colleges need to work together. Principal Song must agree."

Dean Fei sneered, and asked, "How big do you want to be?"

"At least 500 people."

"Are you crazy? There are only more than 500 people in the four grades of the computer department!"

"That's why I said that Principal Song's consent is needed."

Seeing Di Ye's serious look, Dean Fei coughed lightly and asked, "What exactly is the project you want to do?"

"I plan to create a digital encyclopedia on the Internet, and put all the knowledge known to mankind on it, starting with the Yunda Library."

Dean Fei gasped suddenly, and said, "I think you are really crazy. This matter may not be able to be done with the power of the whole country, let alone Yunda."

"It's up to people to do it step by step, and one day it will be finished."

At this moment, Liu Shaosong knocked on the door of the office and walked in. Hearing this, he greeted Di Ye first, and then asked with a smile, "What new project do you want to do?"

Di Ye revisited the encyclopedia project. Liu Shaosong often contacted him by phone, guessed the intention of doing so, and asked, "Are you planning to use this project to promote knowledge sharing agreements?"

"Yeah, I plan to do a demonstration project at Yunda first, and then gather netizens from all over the world to upload and edit knowledge information together."

"It's a good idea. The content can indeed be helped by netizens from all over the world for free, but the server and bandwidth need to be invested in real money. The more content, the greater the investment. With the current network environment, at least tens of millions of investments are required. I'm afraid you can't do it alone."

"That's why I told the dean just now that we should take it step by step and do as much as we have money. Yugong Yishan will do it sooner or later."

Dean Fei appreciated this sentence very much, and praised: "Ambition! If this project is implemented, it will be a great achievement for the present and benefit the future. Write me a proposal, and I will go back and discuss it with Principal Song."

"Row."

Before time-traveling, Di Ye was often gnashing his teeth by various blocking, advertising and charging behaviors when checking information. Therefore, after time-traveling, he made a big ambition to create a knowledge website with no advertisements and no fees to benefit the society. Anyway, he is not short of money. Instead of wasting it on eating, drinking and having fun, he should do something meaningful.

The encyclopedia is only the first step. In the future, he will also develop open source journals and open source libraries, and completely eliminate those things that charge crazy fees under the banner of "realizing the dissemination and sharing of knowledge resources in the whole society".

However, this matter has not been written yet, so Liu Shaosong turned to the Internet access service after a few reminders, because he is now the chief technical consultant of the Flash Gold Network Technology Company.

"That Wang Yi has a wide network of contacts. He has contacted post offices in several cities in the province, as well as Jinling and Jiangcheng. He has received four intentional orders so far. The profit of each order should be similar to that of Yuncheng Post Office."

Dean Fei became more and more annoyed when he heard the words, he patted the table and said repeatedly: "It's a big loss, it's a big loss!"

Di Ye laughed loudly and came up with an idea: "Dean, didn't we just say that we want to set up another school-run enterprise? You ask Mr. Liu to package the software used to open the Internet service into a collection, which is called an optimized and upgraded customized version, and then sell it to Shanjin in the name of the new company, so that you can get a little more profit from it."

"Hey! You're still smart, no wonder you can make so much money. Shaosong, can you do this?"

Liu Shaosong handed Dean Fei a cigarette and said, "It's okay, but some software uses the GPL agreement. If we package it and sell it for money, we must close the source. We must either rewrite it ourselves, or replace it with BSD agreement or MIT agreement. After all, Di Ye is the first person in China to propose the concept of open source. We can't mess up the rules by ourselves, otherwise it will make people laugh."

Dean Fei lit the cigarette, took a puff, and agreed: "You are very thoughtful, and you really need to pay attention. Professor Xu from Jinling University called me and told me that the concept of open source is beneficial to the country and the people, and we should pay more attention to it."

Dean Fei and Liu Shaosong’s strong support was a very important factor for Di Ye to stay at Yunda instead of studying at Jinling University. Hearing this, he opened his backpack, took out a dozen CDs from it, and said with a smile, “This time I brought back a big gift for our college. There are more than 500 types of open source software in total. You can get whatever you want.”

"Oh! I'm rich now."
