Jamie Gavinsky was very anxious and didn't even attend the buffet lunch banquet provided by O'Reilly. He hurriedly returned to Netscape with a few floppy disks. It was a weekend, but there were still many people in the office building to work. When he passed by Michael Toy's office, he saw him playing games with a Mozilla's mutt dinosaur with his 4-year-old daughter. After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Michael, can you come here? I have something to show you."

"Can you see it later?"

“This thing is very important.”

Seeing that he had a serious expression, Michael Toy picked up his daughter and handed it to his wife sitting on the computer chair, saying, "My little princess, play with mom for a while, dad will come back soon and take you out for lunch."

"Dad, can I eat a big cone?"

"No problem, you can eat a big cone."

After Michael Toy comforted his daughter, he went to Jamie Gavinsky's office and saw that he installed a browser with a kaleidoscope with a floppy disk. He entered the company's URL in the address bar and immediately displayed the web page. He looked at the computer's operating system and found that it was Windows 3.1, not Unix or Linux commonly used by Jamie Gavinsky. He was a little surprised and asked, "Jamie, who changed our browser icon?"

"This is not our browser, but a new product that was just released today, called iView." Jamie Gavinsky changed his fingers and changed several websites in a row. Seeing that the browser could be displayed quickly and accurately, he turned the back of the chair and said to Michael Toy: "Do you remember the four articles about open source software that I showed you last time? The mysterious author is now in the United States. An hour ago, in the O'Reilly meeting room in San Jose, he released this browser for free and open source."

"What?!"

Jamie Gavinsky seemed to think Michael Toy's surprised expression was not exciting enough, so he added: "He has also invented a new language that can reduce the traffic between web pages and servers by 95%.

"This is impossible!"

Michael Toy had completely forgotten about taking her daughter to lunch. She sat in front of the computer and studied the contents of the floppy disks. Jamie Gavinsky was not idle either. She also found another computer, copied the contents, and buried her head in the research. About half an hour later, Toy's wife came over, shook her head when she saw this, and left with her daughter in her arms.

About two hours later, Michael Toy looked up and said, "Jamie, we should call Mark."

"Maybe it should be called Jim, who is attending a meeting on the company's IPO in New York. This browser will have a great impact on the valuation of the IPO."

"Then you call Mark, I call Jim."

Mark is Mark Anderson, the co-founder of Netscape Company, and Jim is Jim Buxdale, the CEO of Netscape Company. One understands technology and the other understands the market. After listening to the report, the two made a decision at the same time: buy both people and products at any cost!

When Netscape was communicating internally, Chen Dayou completed his first transaction after becoming CEO. He persuaded Tim O'Reilly to temporarily place the iView installation files and source code on the server of O'Reilly Media and provide them with downloads to Internet users all over the world. The price was to authorize the reference documents of the iScript language to their company for free to issue paper versions. This is a mutually beneficial win-win measure. One side saved the cost of deploying the server and got the channels for quickly promoting the iScript language, while the other side received industry attention and the benefits brought by the sale of books.

On the way back to his residence, Du Qiu said: "O'Reilly's server can only be used for emergency response. The domestic network speed is too slow and cannot carry a large number of download requests. You must rent a house in the United States as soon as possible and build your own server."

Chen Dayou rubbed his temples with his palms and said with a headache: "Of course I know, but we have too little money. When will the remaining 400,000 yuan be paid?"

“Before May 1st.”

"It's better to hurry up, the faster the better. I will call my dad to urge him to transfer another 200,000 yuan to come." Chen Dayou sighed and said with emotion: "When I was studying, every time I saw the story of Jobs or Bill Gates starting a business from scratch, I always felt that success seemed very simple. Now, after trying it myself, I realized that entrepreneurship is really not a job that ordinary people can do!"

Jiang Danfeng smiled and comforted her, "Mr. Chen, you will definitely succeed if you have the financial support from your family and Du Qiu's technical support."

"It's not that easy. I'm under a lot of pressure now. These days, like Zhuge Liang, who wrote "The Memorial of the Army", sighed in vain, fearing that he would lose his wife and his troops."

Du Qiu had golden fingers to support him and was not worried about failure at all, because even if he failed, it didn't matter. There were countless opportunities to rise again in the future, so he maintained a good mentality. He heard him confuse Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "You don't have a wife, so you can save some money at most, what are you afraid of?"

"Now these days, if you don't have 8 million yuan in money as a bride price, how can you marry your wife?" Chen Dayou sighed again, turned from the passenger seat of the taxi and said, "Du Qiu, how do you think Wei Zhiqin?"

Du Qiu was slightly stunned and said, "I am not familiar with her, but it looks pretty good."

"She studied for a master's degree in computer science at Stanford and stayed in the United States. Unfortunately, she met an inhumane person. She married a white-skinned pig who likes domestic violence. She divorced last year and is now working alone in San Jose with her children." Chen Dayou introduced the basic situation and said: "I went to her house yesterday. I felt that although the place she lives was a bit off, the place was big enough and the environment was good. Why not just hire her as an employee and put the server in her garage? Didn't Jobs and others start to mess around in the garage at first?"

"What job does she do now?"

"Working about server management in a data company, there is absolutely no problem with business capabilities."

"Where is the salary?"

"A yearly salary of $70,000."

Du Qiumo calculated and found that the monthly salary was about 49,000 yuan if it was converted into RMB. He asked, "She has just arrived in the United States for six years. She must have a mortgage loan for the house and has children to raise. The annual salary cannot be greatly reduced. But if she is given an annual salary of 70,000 US dollars, what would your domestic friends think?"

Chen Dayou was speechless. The friends he recruited in China were not just rookies who had just graduated, but were veterans in the workplace who had been experienced for many years. They had high abilities, vision and spirit. For example, Qin Mu was already a senior engineer of Founder Group. Although his monthly salary was only more than 1,000 yuan, he paid at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan every year. He was in a period of career growth, and his future was bright and there was almost no risk of unemployment. If he wanted to impress them to resign, he had to give high salaries and options. However, high salaries in China were nothing in the United States. The work content of the two places was similar, and the salary was five or six times different. If it was not handled well, it would easily hurt morale and trigger internal strife.

"How about this, you put the server in Wei Zhiqin's garage and hire her as a part-time employee. When the company develops in the future, you can get equal pay for equal work and be treated equally before becoming a regular employee."

"It's OK, I'll ask her for her opinion."

When Du Qiu and Chen Dayou were discussing compensation, they were busy in the Snapdragon Software Company far away in Beijing. Six computers were lined up face to face. Qin Mu sat in front of the computer on the left and logged into the server of O'Reilly Media with FTP software. He found that iView was already available for download. So while typing, he directed: "Zhou Yuan, you go to the GNU news group to post, Xiao Wu, you go to the Netview company's news group to post, and the rest are arranged by yourself. According to the previously scheduled plan, go to the major popular news groups to post, and the title is more and more.........."

"Sensational!"

"Yes, the more sensational you are, the better. In Du Qiu's words, don't be gentle and polite. Just controversy and explosions, so that you can attract ordinary netizens to click and download."

"Will the administrator block the account and delete the post in this way?"

"We are not simply sensational. Although the title of the post is controversial, the content is detailed and reasonable. Why should the administrator delete it?"

Xiao Wu is the only woman in the company. While typing and posting, she smiled and said, "I really admire this Du Qiu. I can think of such an inexplicable marketing method, and I have prepared more than a dozen different styles of gun texts in advance."

Qin Mu also smiled and said, "Actually, this marketing method is no different from distributing flyers. We just moved from the street to the Internet."

"I think this is a very interesting experiment. According to Du Qiu's theory, in the Internet era, as long as we can handle the first batch of seed users, iView will develop like a snowball and sweep the world in a few months." Zhou Yuan used to work in a national media department and was more sensitive to this, saying: "If this experiment is successful, the focus of advertising in the world in the future will shift from TV stations and newspapers to the Internet, because the Internet has no barriers from regions and countries, the cost is lower, the coverage is wider, and the publicity effect is better."

"Qin Mu, how many posts do we want to post?"

"The more, the better. Try to push the download volume of iView to more than 1,000 in one day, so that Du Qiu will be more confident when he goes to Netscape Company tomorrow."

"Du Qiu is really a lunatic. He actually wants to use a browser to unify global Internet standards. You must know that even Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, cannot do this."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be interested in being Qin Shihuang. On the night of writing iView, I would fly to the United States and sell the source code to Netscape or Microsoft. It is estimated that it can be sold at least $1 million. With $1 million, I can spend my whole life with a living."

"1 million? Your offer is too low. iView's technology is better than NetView's. If I go and sell it, it will cost at least $5 million, otherwise there will be no talks."

"You two have only a little bit of ambition. You can't just think about money, you have to have some ideals!"

"I have an ideal. My ideal is to sit and hand over flyers every day, and I can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, and it has now come true."
