Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Steve Ballmer bit his head and replied: "Actually, there are still many browsers on the market. For example, Booklink developed by David Weatherer, even if it is not as good as polestar and the Internet. Jing's netscape_navigator is also sufficient for general application scenarios."

"The design of booklink is unreasonable, which will affect the subsequent upgrades and fail to meet the requirements of the overall architecture of Microsoft products." Gates snorted disdainfully, "Moreover, David Weatherer is so self-righteous and has a big appetite. He can't even satisfy two million dollars-who does he think he is!"

Gates' stance of lack of indiscretion made Steve Ballmer helplessly spread his hands.

It wasn't until Gates flew into a thunder that Jim Alchian completely woke up: It turned out that the boss had made two preparations-while letting himself organize the manual development of the browser, he also tried to acquire Netscape. And looking at this, it is more inclined to adopt the latter as a solution to the shortcomings of Microsoft browsers.

Up to now, Jim Alchian has to admit: Faced with the urgency shown by Gates, even if he works overtime, he can’t produce products as scheduled—a feature of software engineering is this. He wants to do research and development. The crowded tactics will only become more and more chaotic in the end.

After exchanging glances with Steve Ballmer, Jim Alchian took over the topic: "Acquiring an off-the-shelf browser product is indeed a way to get closer to the goal faster. As far as I know, Netscape So in a short time, they were able to develop netscape_navigator because they had the foundation of the mosaic browser that they had previously laid at the National Supercomputer Application Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."

"At present, the companies under the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have obtained the source code of the mosaic browser and are responsible for the development of the commercial version."

"We might as well ask the company to see if everyone can cooperate."

Gates nodded, and told Steve Ballmer: "Contact the company right now-I have a feeling that there is something Microsoft wants."

It seemed that he was going to Illinois again—Steve Ballmer moistened his throat while drinking water, while secretly groaning.

...

Not to mention, such a connection immediately gave Gates a more satisfactory result.

The company's situation is that after obtaining the technology and trademark authorized by the mosaic browser, it did not use any source code of the mosaic browser, and developed a brand new browser, which still bears the mosaic name.

In terms of price, the company does not have an appetite that exceeds Gates' psychological bottom line-Microsoft used $2 million to obtain the source code of the browser, plus a quarterly license fee, and a commission from browser sales.

Gates neatly agreed to this agreement-according to his explanation to Steve Ballmer, fart sales commissions and free browsers must be the general trend. Let the company wait.

The source code of the browser was in Microsoft's hands. Gates personally intervened and asked Jim Alchian to deploy 6 capable programmers, including Thomas Reardon, on the basis of which they were modified into Microsoft's browser. , And added to the windows_95 value-added package launched in the middle of the year.

Jim Alchian asked: "Then what is this browser called? Is it microsoft_mosaic?"

"Of course not!" Gates shook his head resolutely, "Since the philosopher's name is zeroe_polestar, Netscape is called netscape_navigator, and it is not Polaris or navigator, then we are called microsoft_interne_explorer, the Internet explorer."

Understand the limits of the Mexican peso crisis in the United States, publicize the "Road to the Future" and the routine activities of the Hundreds of People’s Association during the Lunar New Year...A series of intertwined and constantly busy tasks directly brought Tang Huan into the first month of the lunar calendar, which is 1995. Of February.

Tang Huan took a sigh of relief, and by the way, he personally met with someone from the Xiangjiang entertainment circle who was waiting for him to pay a New Year's greetings.

For example, relying on Kung Fu, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, who already have a place in Hollywood. The two new works are "Red Fan District" and "Once Upon a Time in the Western Lion", with their distinct styles, both won good box office revenue.

But that's all, the decline of Hong Kong movies inevitably began last year. Its production volume has dropped significantly, and its top spot in the local box office has also been let out. Many people with a keen sense of smell have already noticed signs of bad things.

Tang Huan sighed and said to everyone: "After all, Xiangjiang's movies are just like the stock market. It can't escape the fate of the ups and downs. Fortunately, you can persist until now, and your career will no longer be tied to Xiangjiang."

"Thanks to Tang Sheng's support and care." Cheng Long complimented him sincerely.

"It's still a matter of persistence. After all, the entire Chinese-language market has a huge space. If this side is not bright, the other is bright. The prospects of the mainland movie market are worth looking forward to." Tang Huan waved his hand. A rare and precious talent. If you encounter any difficulties during this low period, just come to me-everyone to tide over the difficulties."

Hearing the comfort of the richest man, everyone's hearts finally settled down. After all, if the other party's hand stitches casually leak a little, it will be enough to moisturize my life for a long time.

...

In Tang Huan's view, if the perspective is raised to the height of the entire Chinese-language movie, it is normal for Hong Kong movies that have experienced a golden period for more than a decade to start to decline.

Since the general trend of the decline of Hong Kong movies is difficult to change, Tang Huan is not entangled. Anyway, the most important resource-talents, has almost been allocated.

In fact, Tang Huan really didn't have time to ask too much. The affairs of the United States alone had completely tied him up.

After hosting waves of New Year's visitors, Tang Huan immediately convened an internal meeting of the Tang family to arrange the next work on the global situation.

Zhuang Menghua first said: "The Great Hanshin Earthquake that occurred on the 17th last month caused the Nikkei Average to plummet by 1,025 points, which did not have a substantial impact on our investment activities."

"Good job." Tang Huan nodded in satisfaction, "Then continue to pay attention to the appreciation of the yen."

"However, the British may really have a tragedy." Zhuang Menghua smiled in accordance with Tang Huan's usual joking tone.

"Then wait for the show." Tang Huan laughed irrelevantly, then turned serious, and muttered: "The politicians of Baodao are busy redistributing power and are tossing very hard. Cross-strait relations may be difficult. Therefore, it is rapidly deteriorating this year, and you must make targeted arrangements."

"We haven't noticed any changes in this area." Zhuang Menghua said suspiciously.

"Those turbulence, you can't observe it." Tang Huan put down his tea cup and said leisurely: "Li, from the treasure island, seeks to visit the United States through political and political lobbying channels, so as to enhance his personal reputation and get re-election; and the US Congress It doesn’t stop there; coupled with my understanding of Bill Clinton, it will basically become a fuse."

Zhuang Menghua, who has no such experience, couldn't help asking on behalf of everyone curiously, "Brother, what kind of specific performance do you think it will be."

Tang Huan picked up the ruler, turned around and drew a stroke on the map behind him, and said faintly: "It's very simple, military exercises, plus missiles flying over the sky, how will Baodao's stock market react?"

"I understand." Zhuang Menghua said suddenly: "Then I have to remind Sister Jun, don't arrange any activities this year, stay and rest in the United States."

"You don't need to worry about this, I have arrangements for everyone." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Jin Chang and Jin Ge are going to college this year, enough for Li Jun to worry about."

The clear Zhuang Menghua couldn't help feeling a little, "Unconsciously, the two little things have grown up to become alumni with me."

Tang Huan clicked a few times on the map with a ruler, and said: "I will start my trip to Asia right away, starting with a book and ending in China. You should outline the items that require me to come forward as soon as possible."

...

Tang Huan specially brought Zhang Chaoyang, who was preparing to return to China to start a business, and went to Asia together.

After graduating from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University in 1986, Zhang Chaoyang received the Datang Scholarship in the same year and went to study in the United States. In 1993, he received a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he continued his postdoctoral research while serving in the Tang Kingdom.

It can be said that Zhang Chaoyang is a typical example of Tang Huan's talent distribution.

Soon after the Silicon Valley One took off, Tang Huan specifically called Zhang Chaoyang to the front and gave some pointers.

As early as many years ago, Zhang Chaoyang, who left a deep impression on the richest man in the interactive speech session, and Tang Huan can be regarded as acquaintances.

Therefore, Tang Huan said directly: "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail--compared to the mature environment of the United States, it is easier for China to let you show your strengths and stand out."

Zhang Chaoyang, who had already considered the pros and cons, with an eager expression on his face, said with a smile: "I will definitely live up to Master Tang's expectations and build a China Online."

Tang Huan waved his hand and adjusted patiently to teach: "Including the telecommunications industry, the situation in China has its own characteristics. Therefore, the ISP model of leasing communication lines may not be perfect. I hope that you can focus on the content. Operator."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded again and again, and was taught carefully.

...

The Great Hanshin Earthquake that occurred in the Kansai region on January 17 reached a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale. It is the largest direct urban earthquake since the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.

Because the area is the largest city in rb, with a dense population of about 1.05 million, the earthquake occurred in the early morning, causing serious casualties-official statistics are: 6434 people died and 43792 people were injured. The houses were damaged and they had to live in the complex. The number of people in the house reached 320,000.

A book with a deep understanding of earthquake disasters. The level of perfection in all aspects of response measures can be described as the world’s leading. However, the Great Hanshin Earthquake still caused such a large loss. The reason is that a scholar believes that the Kansai region cannot have a large scale. The occurrence of an earthquake has a lot to do with it.

This recognition has led to the lack of adequate preventive measures and disaster relief systems in the area. In particular, there are quite a lot of traffic arteries around Kobe that pass through tunnels or viaducts. As a result, the tunnels were seriously damaged during the earthquake, which affected the speed of search and rescue.

In the urban area of ​​Kobe with dense wooden houses, gas leaked, causing a chain fire that caught off guard.

Looking around, the Murayama ~ Tomi City Cabinet, who had been slow to respond, decided that the disaster relief was ineffective.

However, for a rich thief, this hurdle is hard to stop. With its strength, the economy of the region can be restored to its pre-earthquake level in only two years.

Masako Hotan, who has just returned to work, on behalf of the richest man, has made a lot of contributions in distributing food, drinking water, and medicine to the victims.

Tang Huan came to a book this time, so he naturally wanted to express his sincere greetings, and even adopted two orphans with Hetian Masako, which really showed goodwill.

...

After doing what he was supposed to do, Silicon Valley One headed south to Treasure Island.

This time, Tang Huan took extra care - risks also accompany opportunities. Once the operation is done, he can pick up the omissions again while he is quiet.

It is inevitable to usher in and send out.

Among them, Song Chuyu, who was elected the so-called governor of Treasure Island in December last year with a high vote~www.readwn.com~, was very proud of the spring breeze. His words also revealed a meaning-after the term of office expires, he also wants to join the next one. Competition for the throne of the term.

"You should work hard." Tang Huan smiled and said, "However, Lao Song, I still want to remind you - at that time, you will most likely not be in the rankings, and you will have a future by doing it alone.

Song Chuyu smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy to stand on your own."

"Alright." Tang Huan nodded slightly, "You remember what I said first, and then turn your head to taste it."

...

The Silicon Valley One took off again, circled over the Xiangjiang River, and after getting the best of both worlds, it went straight to mainland China.

Little cousin Meng Jing said disappointedly: "Brother, why don't you stay in Xiangjiang for two days so that I can have fun."

Tang Huan said lightly: "If you want to go to bars and sing karaoke, Yanjing's conditions are also good."

Meng Jing rolled her eyes, "I thought you were worried about being robbed."

Tang Huan laughed dumbly, "Who dares?"

...

After the Silicon Valley One landed in Yanjing, Tang Huan and the group of people who came to greet him warmly greeted him, and finally confessed: "Everyone, I will tell you tomorrow. I will rush home and eat the noodles made by my grandmother."

"At that time, the dumplings to be seen off must be invited by us." Everyone laughed and waved to send Tang Huan to the car.

...

Because she got off the plane, Meng Jing chirped and called her home, so as soon as Tang Huan came in, she saw grandpa and grandma sitting at the table with steaming longevity noodles on the table.

Han Zhiliang, who is 86 years old and more and more mature, waved his hand and smiled: "Unknowingly, you are already a young man, and the chance for everyone to reunite is becoming more and more rare. My grandmother and I will go down in person. Cook, make it for you, eat it while it's hot."
