Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Tang Huan didn't care too much about mosaic-compared to the original time and space that happened to step on the drumbeat of the times, it is now a multi-platform copy of the philosophical web browser polestar, and the program itself does not meet the quality standards of commercial software.

Of course, mosaic still stands out among the few follow suits.

For example, when displaying pictures, it can also achieve that it does not pop up another window, but is smoothly mixed and arranged with text, indicating that its browser kernel has made a lot of effort in web page rendering.

But it's just that—knowing that there is such a thing is enough. If you have a ministry to deal with it, the richest man should also familiarize yourself with his speech.

At this comdex industry forum, one of Tang Huan's topics is still the Internet, or more accurately, the World Wide Web.

Citing research data provided by his subordinate think tanks, he said: "When the National Science Foundation's official conversion to commercial use, the Internet resources that the public can access not only suddenly increased, but also the original, other networks, and The networks of traditional telecommunications companies are fully connected, forming a truly unimpeded information high-speed kilometer."

"At the end of 1990, many people began to call that year the first year of the World Wide Web. At that time, there were only a few dozen web sites, and most of them were experimental. So, how many web sites are now? What?"

"People who have visited the World Wide Web through the browser polestar should know that there is a menu command that points to a page called what’s_new, which refreshes the link to the current website almost every day."

"According to statistics, this number has exceeded one thousand."

"I predict that by this time next year, the number will exceed 10,000."

"This exponential growth rate will probably overwhelm the what’s_new page at that time, and it will be difficult to continue such voluntary statistical work."

...

Amidst the laughter in the audience, Jim Clark slapped a few chins, and then said to Mark Anderson beside him with emotion: "I have the same feeling that I had when I founded the Silicon Valley graphics company more than ten years ago."

Mark Anderson asked curiously: "Silicon Valley graphics company has been very successful, do you still have the motivation to start a business?"

"Of course." Jim Clark nodded, "I want to create a more successful company than Silicon Valley Graphics."

...

"The business model of the World Wide Web is still being explored. This process will definitely cost a lot of tuition, but if you don't have the courage, it also means that you have to pass the oncoming opportunities of the times." Tang Huan concluded. Later, he hurriedly left the field, ready to leave for Seattle.

Jim Clark also stood up, and while walking out with Mark Anderson, he asked questioningly: "After you developed mosaic, didn't you ever start a company based on it? I started as a Silicon Valley graphics company. At that time, it was this route."

Mark Anderson replied depressedly: "Our entire development team is an employee, and there is no copyright of mosaic, and my relationship with the boss is not very good."

Jim Clark nodded suddenly, "So, now are you sure you can develop a browser like mosaic?"

"Of course! And it will definitely be better than mosaic." After answering proudly, Mark Anderson of Fuzhixin added, "If the brothers who developed mosaic with me can still get together and work together, one year You can get the finished product within."

Jim Clark, listening with a smile on his face, led Mark Anderson into his hotel room, then turned on the Fangyuan laptop, pointed to the screen and said: "I installed the latest version of the polestar browser, and found that every time I upgrade, There are some interesting changes. Look at this dynamic page, you can already display ads well."

Mark Anderson frankly commented: "Before developing mosaic, we referred to the functions of polestar. The page rendering engine it uses has comprehensive support for html and scripting languages, and the typesetting effect is also very good. The only place where mosaic wins. , Is to support multiple platforms."

"Of course I know that polestar is one step ahead in terms of technology." Jim Clark smiled and shook his head. "But what I want to say is that the polestar browser's attempt to support advertising-friendly is not exactly the business model that Tang emphasized before. Explore?"

"Obviously, no matter what you do on the World Wide Web, you cannot do without a browser."

"According to this inference, the upcoming explosive growth will also drive the demand for browsers. In terms of philosopher's business style over the years, it is unlikely that it will develop a version of polestar other than the Fangyuan computer platform."

"Don't you think it's a pity that you don't occupy such a market gap?"

While listening, Mark Anderson read the e-mail that Jim Clark had sent to him--to be honest, he was very envious of the other party who wanted to go online and could go online at any time, and he still used such a high-end Fangyuan laptop. The superior life.

"You are optimistic about the prospects of the browser and want to start a startup with me." Mark Anderson muttered to himself heartily.

"Zheru helps companies build a web site program kit-zis, which can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. According to Tang's prediction, the number of sites will exceed 10,000 next year alone. You count the business opportunities here!" Jim After Clark’s persuasive temptation, he directly expressed his plan: "I can put out 4 million US dollars as venture capital; the company’s shares will give you 20%; your programmer partners, if they can be invited, Each person can get one percent. We can discuss further details."

Mark Anderson is now much more secure than when he left the National Supercomputer Application Center not long ago-people always have to grow up, he pondered: "I want to contact my friend Eric Biner first. In order to make a decision."

For apec's first leader-level summit, US President Bill Clinton attached great importance to it. The venue was carefully selected on Black Island in Seattle, the "Emerald City".

As early as 1917, a millionaire in Seattle, William-Pitt Trimble, bought this place and built a luxurious residence for himself. He also invited the sister organization of the Boy Scouts of America, the "Bonfire". The activity really prospered for a while.

However, after more than ten years of effort, the Trimble family fell, and the real estate was also sold.

In 1959, Black Island was designated as a national park. Native Indians, natural ecology, etc., were well protected, and became a pretty good holiday destination.

Tang Huan, who had already come here, looked far away, and deer could be seen running by from time to time in his vision.

"Boss, the fishing rod is ready." Assistant Hui reported.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, and rode a bicycle with a few political and business celebrities who had arrived first.

...

The background of apec came into being at the end of the Cold War. Its actual promoter is naturally the No. 1 economic power in Asia-one book, but considering the black history of war crimes committed against the Asia-Pacific region during the Second World War, it is really easy in international politics and governance. It caused bad associations and had to give up the position of promoter, the first brother, to Australia.

At the beginning of its establishment, apec was composed of Australia, Brunei, Canada, Indonesia, One, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States; in 1991, China, Hong Kong, and Baodao joined; this year, more Mexico And Papua New Guinea.

It needs to be pointed out that apec's member units are economies, not countries, and are different from other intergovernmental organizations established by treaties. They are just a forum for economic cooperation. It operates through non-binding commitments and voluntary membership, emphasizing open dialogue and equal respect for the opinions of members.

As the work progressed, all aspects of apec were perfected very quickly. For example, it was determined this year that the secretariat will be responsible for daily affairs and the office will be located in Singapore.

As for the content of this summit, US President Bill Clinton hopes that through communication, the currently stagnant Uruguay Round of trade negotiations can get back on track; other leaders want to call for continued reduction of trade and investment barriers.

In short, after the Cold War, economic globalization can be described as unstoppable.

However, although everyone has this consensus, it is not so easy to reach an agreement.

It is clear that dozens of forces, large and small, sit together and each have their own calculations. The first thing they want is definitely to "get". Under this premise, there will be so-called voluntary "giving."

For example, other economies are yearning for the big market of the United States, and the thoughts of the Clinton government are put on the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations.

It is not difficult to imagine that the greater significance of this first apec leader-level summit lies in the establishment of a top-level exchange mechanism. The real progress will have to wait for the second and third subsequent...

The European and American circles on both sides of the Atlantic have matured for a long time. I don’t know how many years, and the territory has been divided almost. The richest man based in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, California, and even the west coast of North America naturally prefers this whiteboard in the Asia-Pacific region. Make a fuss.

According to Tang Huan, now that the leader-level summit mechanism has been established, don’t be foreseeable. The first one is just that everyone is familiar with each other, not expecting big progress, and wasting time. You can move forward in small steps. , Have accumulated great achievements year by year.

For this reason, in the consultation report submitted to the leader-level summit, Mr. richest man put forward the concept of "five steps" for the apec process, that is, to organize the current complicated pattern into "what apec shouldn't do" and "apec". The three basic questions of "what should be done" and "how should apec do", and then on the basis of reaching a consensus, "make specific cooperation blueprints", "implementation and acceleration".

This year, apec will first discuss the simplest question of "what not to do"-don’t you all say "freedom of trade" and "freedom of investment" first, let’s clarify what hinders it. You can't do the "free~youhua" thing!

In two days, leaders of more than a dozen economies will have bilateral and multilateral meetings-how many permutations and combinations will there be? .

Excluding the necessary time for eating, drinking and sleeping, what is the longest time that can be spent in each meeting?

Despite this, the richest man still completed the bilateral meeting with all the leaders, and his "five-step" concept was unanimously appreciated. The first step of "what apec shouldn't do" calculated the greatest common divisor and reached a consensus.

This is a process of communication! To some extent, it is also a process of "sales" and "brainwashing"! And Tang Huan’s personal charm, as well as the resources accumulated over more than ten years of traveling around the world ~www.readwn.com~ are all blooming like gorgeous fireworks!

The response of the media can best explain the problem-the local news of almost every economy will report that such and such has a cordial meeting with the world's richest man, a pleasant conversation, approval of the "five-step" concept, and an invitation to visit.

The most memorable thing is Tang Huan's position in each group photo.

In a nutshell, the richest man is so big-the audience may not recognize all the leaders, but they must remember Tang Huan.

Under such momentum, when the latest "Decryption Storm" of "007" was released in certain markets and was blocked, Tang Daheng said, "It's an entertainment film, don't take it seriously, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Opened up the joints and quickly let go.

In "Deciphering Storm," James Bond is ordered to investigate a major arms deal starting from the disappearance of an intelligence officer. The process can be described as alarming.

The film schedule coincides with the fact that Yin Qingfeng, a military officer of Baodao, was found floating in the sea by fishermen, and the Lafayette arms purchase scandal broke out, which in turn involved the various economies of France’s arms sales to Baodao, from the French foreign minister to arms agents During the exchanges, earthquakes occurred in the political arena of France and Treasure Island, attracting reports from the global media.

As a result, someone almost immediately discovered that this Nima is simply the prototype of the story of "007: Deciphering Storm". All curiosity can be satisfied in the movie, and the thrilling plot will stimulate the adrenal hormones extremely violently. secretion.

In the 1993 Christmas file, "Deciphering Storm" was a mess, becoming the most popular one in the history of the "007" series.

At the same time as mass entertainment, French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, who had nothing to do with the huge commission, had to step down.
