Chapter 60 Testing and Response
After Du Qiu left, Chen Dayou sat in front of the computer and studied the browser that didn't even have a name from beginning to end. The more he studied, the more he admired him, the more he became more shocked, and the more he was more shocked, the more he was more shocked. He tried to smoke to relieve his excitement. After smoking two in a row, he found that it was useless, so he stood up, treated the computer chair as Du Qiu, kicked it over to the ground, and cursed with all his strength: "Fuck!"
I swear to make an open source browser, but I only brought a running program to show me, and there was no line of source code!
What's the difference between sending a safe full of gold, silver and jewelry, but not giving the key!
After Chen Dayou scolded, he still couldn't relieve his anger and kicked it again, but he kicked the hardwood on the side. The chair was fine, but his toes were heartbroken, and tears were about to flow out of the way. The excitement suddenly turned into regret. Then he calmed down completely, walked out of the study, sat cross-legged on the sofa with a very unrealistic look, put the phone next to him, rubbed his toes, and dialed Chen Zhiyang's office phone in a hands-free form.
"Dayou, how did you talk to Du Qiu today?"
"Dad, I can't talk to him."
"What? Is he unable to write the browser or can't write it?"
"It's not that I can't write it out, nor that I can't write it out, but that I'm too good." Chen Dayou was a little depressed and didn't know what to say. After a pause, he honestly said: "Dad, the browser he wrote is better than Netscape Company. I have no room for bargaining with him for the 1 million yuan. Not to mention the 60% stake I had expected before, even 10% depends on whether he is willing to give alms."
Chen Zhiyang coughed twice uncontrollably. His originally gentle and elegant voice became solemn and serious, and he questioned in a deep voice: "Is this impossible?"
"You can ask the best computer expert from Sanjiang University to come to me to read. He wrote very well, and he also created a programming language for the browser." Chen Dayou said this and thought to himself. He picked up the microphone of the phone and said loudly: "Dad, you'd better come and see it yourself. Du Qiu wrote not only a software, he also created a new technology. This new technology is very important. For the Internet industry, it's like..."
He knew that although Chen Zhiyang knew some computer and the Internet terms, he actually didn't really understand the industry, so he quickly passed the knowledge about physics in his mind and then chose a very exaggerated analogy: "It's as important as Einstein published the theory of relativity!"
I don’t know if it was because the 1 million did not produce the expected effect, or because Chen Dayou’s analogy was too amazing. After only about half an hour, Chen Zhiyang brought three computer experts to the Institute of Quantum Physics.
One of the three experts is the director of the Computer Department of Sanjiang University, Zeng Fanhao, who is in his 40s and has been transformed into administrative work for several years and is not sensitive to new technologies. After reading the JavaScript-related documents specially provided by Du Qiu, he commented with some disdain: "This iScript is just a very simple scripting language, and it is also a hodgepodge of copying and copying. The basic syntax is similar to C language, regular expressions are similar to Perl language, string and array processing are similar to Python language, and there are no key functions such as modules and subtypes. It cannot do big projects and has no practical uses."
Historically, Netscape Company initially called the designed language LiveScript. Because Java is a registered trademark of SUN Company, the rest of the programming languages cannot be used. Later, it was changed to JavaScript after being authorized by SUN Company. Du Qiu naturally could not get permission from SUN Company at this time, so he simply changed JavaScript to iScript. The first letter i refers to the Internet, which means a language designed specifically for the Internet.
The other two experts are relatively young, both in their early 30s. One is an associate professor who has just been promoted, and the other is a doctor who has returned from studying in the United States. The doctoral student who returned from overseas is relatively simple. He has not yet figured out the unspoken rules of the domestic officialdom. He slapped his boss in the face and defended him: "IScript said at the beginning of the document that it is a language designed specifically for web pages. It is not a big project, so he tried to pursue simplicity and conciseness, and deliberately gave up many unnecessary functions. I think it is very well designed, flexible and easy to use, and is very suitable for use on the Internet. It will definitely become a very popular language in the future."
The associate professor is relatively sleek and does not work hard on the programming language. Instead, he said something that both the principal and the director care very much: "This browser is indeed extraordinary. Not only is it technically the world-class level, but the product itself also fills the domestic gap. At present, the country is vigorously promoting the construction of network facilities, but both hardware and software are imported from abroad. If we can have a browser that belongs to our own..."
This guy knows the rules very well. He doesn't say half of his words. He lets the two leaders perform their own actions. Zeng Fanhao and Chen Zhiyang looked at each other, and then asked with understanding: "You two are the best-in-class people in our computer science department. Can you write a similar browser?"
"I am a researcher in embedded systems and I am not familiar with the Internet." The associate professor is very self-aware and pushed the returnees out and said: "You must understand network technology when writing browsers, especially various network protocols. Xiao Zhou is more aware of this."
"The browser involves a lot of technologies. I may not be able to write it for a year. Even if I can write it, it is not as good as this one." The overseas returnee shook his head and said, "In a year, this browser may have become the industry standard like Netscape-Navigator of Netscape. It cannot compete with it at all. It is meaningless to recreate the wheel."
Chen Zhiyang took out an exquisite silver cigarette box, took out a few cigarettes, stood up, handed it around in a manner of a polite and polite manner, and asked: "When I recently called a few American friends, I heard them talk about Netscape Company. Can you tell me in detail about this company?"
Although he asked everyone questions, everyone knew that this was about overseas returnees, so he didn't say anything and gave him the opportunity to perform. The overseas returnees then eloquently introduced the founder and development history of Netscape Company, and then summarized with admiration: "Netscape is equivalent to Apple in the 1970s and Microsoft in the 1980s. It not only has first-class technical strength, but also has a very innovative consciousness. Apple invented personal computers, Microsoft rewritten software rules, and Netscape defined the Internet, which are all great companies that have changed the development history of the IT industry."
"When the time comes, Principal Chen will inform me and I will go and persuade him personally."
"That's for sure."
After sending the three experts away on the grounds that the father and son were reunited to have dinner together, Chen Zhiyang said to Chen Dayou: "This Du Qiu is not simple. He is a real genius. His future is limitless. 10% is just 10%. If you have a good relationship with him, you may get much more than money in the future."
Seeing that he had agreed to invest, Chen Dayou relaxed and said with a smile: "Dad, Du Qiu doesn't even take the Beijing University I studied seriously. I'm afraid he won't go to your school to study."
"I'm just making a good relationship with him." Chen Zhiyang also smiled and said, "The program he wrote for a month is not written by the best teacher in our school for a year. What else can I learn well? Even if I get involved, who can teach him?"
After laughing, he sighed and explained: "Sanjiang University's humanities have always been stronger than science and engineering. If I, the executive vice president of science, cannot achieve some results, I will never think of removing the sub-word. The school is preparing to upgrade the computer department to the School of Computer Science next semester. The Ministry of Education has approved it. Now there is a big figure to support me. Du Qiu's four articles gave me a new idea. After you start the browser, I plan to invite him to be a guest lecturer, make the School of Computer Science bigger and stronger, and become the signature of Sanjiang University."
"Dad, you're so whimsical. Du Qiu is only 22 years old, how can you be the leader?"
