Chapter 71 The Black Heart and the System

"When I went to Beijing to get the source code a few days ago, I saw that Thinker’Notebook has a new set of notepads. It was made beautifully, so I bought a few books and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. I didn't respect me, so I asked the principal to accept it with a smile."

Zeng Fanhao took out a dark golden notepad and handed it to Chen Zhiyang with both hands. When Chen Zhiyang saw a huge peony flower blooming on the cover, he praised: "I am worthy of being the king of flowers, elegant, elegant, and grand, more grand than orchids, daffodils, etc. Chairman Mao said back then that person must be like a peony to take on the heavy responsibility."

This seemed to mean something, Zeng Fanhao smiled and agreed with him.

Chen Zhiyang opened the exquisite and sophisticated cover and saw a bank card on the title page, next to it with a note with 200,000 and 6 8. He smiled lightly and said, "Take goose feathers thousands of miles away, and the gift is light. Director Zeng brought a notepad from a distance from the capital. It shows that the friendship is deep, but I was disrespectful and accepted it."

He put the notepad into the drawer of his desk, tapped the table gently for a moment, and said, "My wife usually likes to take care of flowers and plants, and raises several peonies. It will be almost blooming in early May. At that time, I will join her to hold a flower viewing banquet for her and invite Principal Liu and several other colleagues to have a dinner together. Director Zeng may as well bring his wife to enjoy her face and have a meal."

May is the critical moment to decide the dean's throne. Zeng Fanhao was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and said, "It must be, it must be, and I will come when the time comes."

"Then let's just say that."

After Zeng Fanhao left with great gratitude, Chen Zhiyang's face immediately became cold. He took out the notepad from the drawer, stroked the exquisite cover with his palm, felt the unique touch of the slightly concave and convex between the petals and the paper, and said to himself: "Flowers bloom and wealth, Du Qiu's golden peony was almost lost by your nonsense. Still want to be the dean? It's really a dream!"

When inspecting the browser at the Institute of Quantum Physics that day, Zeng Fanhao shamelessly believed that iScript was a useless toy. If it weren't for the overseas returnees' words, Chen Zhiyang would have almost believed it. According to the information Chen Dayou received from the United States in the past few days, iScript is widely sought after and more important than the iView browser itself. It is so important that Netscape Company offers a sky-high acquisition of $5 million.

I almost lost a thousand-mile horse worth ten thousand gold because of his nonsense!

It’s okay if you have poor abilities, but you don’t even have a basic vision. How can you become the dean of the School of Computer Science?

As the saying goes, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. Everyone has taken a look at it. Originally, Chen Zhiyang did not take what happened that day to heart, but Zeng Fanhao's next series of actions touched his reverse scale, making the unintentional mistake infinitely magnified and turned into a fatal poison - Zeng Fanhao was confused by "major scientific and technological achievements that fill the gap in the country". He not only inquire about Du Qiu's origin and information, but also went to the capital to find Chen Dayou to ask for the source code of iView.

That is the treasure that my son got rich and I became promoted!

Who are you old enough to get a share of the pie?

Chen Zhiyang opened the cover of the notepad, tore off the bank card on the title page, snorted with disdain, and muttered to himself: "I have no ability, no vision, and I can even delay some blood. How can I be the dean?"

He looked at the time in the United States with a watch with an international time zone display function, then picked up the phone and called Chen Dayou's number in San Jose. The phone was answered by a woman. After chatting for a few words, he handed it over to Chen Dayou. The middle was mixed with the screams of the little girl and the laughter of the adults. It sounded like the two were very close.

"Dayou, who was that just now?"

"My former college classmate is also the current landlord of our company." Chen Dayou explained casually and asked, "Dad, has the money been paid?"

"Not yet, Zeng Fanhao is old and has a bad mind. I mentioned it several times but he didn't respond. It was not until today that I sent it. I will arrange someone to transfer it to you later."

"200,000?"

"Um."

"Dad, 200,000 is not enough! We are developing very quickly, and the number of homepage views and program downloads has increased explosively. We have to buy a few more servers."

"I'll think of another way. Has Du Qiu's investment of 500,000 yuan been paid?"

"He paid 100,000 yuan in Beijing last time, and the remaining 400,000 yuan was not in progress. He said that it would be accepted before May 1." Chen Dayou paused slightly, and then said: "His notepad business is very prosperous, so there should be no problem with that 400,000 yuan."

Chen Zhiyang looked at the notepad on his desk and suddenly felt that the peony flowers were a little dazzling. He couldn't help but sigh softly. If Du Qiu had no business to support the notepad business, he could get more shares by simply adding a sum of funds. Now he has the notepad business to provide funds in a steady stream. If the Chen family wants to increase their shares, they can only spend more real money.

"You urge Du Qiu to put some pressure on him. Add today's number and we have invested almost 700,000 yuan, so he should have made some statements."

Chen Dayou responded, then lowered his voice and said, "Dad, you can communicate more with those uncles and friends in China and raise funds as soon as possible. The more the better. Now even Microsoft has sent an email to ask Du Qiu to visit Seattle. I guess in a few days, Silicon Valley venture capital companies will flock to you. If Du Qiu decides to raise funds, my shares will be diluted very well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money and cannot be missed."

"I try my best." Chen Zhiyang clamped the bank card sent by Zeng Fanhao with his finger and said in a casual tone: "You prepare a lawyer's letter in the name of Du Qiu, and send it to me when Lao Zeng is about to plagiarize the browser. I will ask him to pay another hush money in the name of mediation. Lao Zeng has made a lot of scientific research funds in recent years and has a very rich family."

Chen Dayou smiled and said, "I had already prepared a lawyer's letter when I handed over the source code to him in Beijing."

"You have communicated with Du Qiu, right? Don't make him suspicious because of a little profit."

"Of course I have communicated. This guy is very smart. If I don't communicate, I can't get the source code at all." After saying a few gossips, Chen Dayou said with some envy: "Du Qiu lives like a god now, bringing a beautiful female secretary to the city, giving technical speeches everywhere, and is becoming more and more popular. Even famous schools like Berkeley dare to go to."

"I have long said that he is not a Chi Zhongwu. If you take care of the company's affairs well and let him give as many speeches as possible, the more popular the better. This will be good for you and me."

After Chen Zhiyang hung up the phone, he planned to go to the bank to withdraw the money, and then transfer it to the United States through acquaintances. Before leaving, he stared at the notepad for a long time, and finally picked it up and stuffed it into his briefcase.

Du Qiu stood under the iView billboard near the University of California, Berkeley, handed the camera to Jiang Danfeng and asked her to help take a few photos, because it was the first iView advertisement in the world and the only one that was temporarily set up specifically for him to give a speech in Berkeley.

"This advertisement is really simple." After taking the photo, Jiang Danfeng said: "Du Qiu, you remember how creative the document in this article is, why don't you make a creative copy for iView? This is too ordinary."

"Notepad is a commonly known product, so you have to win by creativity. iView is a less-known new technology product. Popular science is more important than creativity." Du Qiu looked up at the billboard and said, "I originally planned to invite a few models to shoot some dynamic pictures, but American models are too expensive, so I had to make a camera that doesn't cost money as the protagonist, and then go to creative things when I have money in the future."

Jiang Danfeng pointed to the round logo on the billboard and said casually: "This logo is the same color as the square logo of Notepad, but the shape is different. Are you lazy and casually drawing it?"

Girl, you really don't know the goods...

Notepad logo is Microsoft's logo after 2012. This is Google Chrome logo. How could it be drawn casually...

The University of California, Berkeley is a world-class university, and is particularly famous for its computer major. It has almost never fallen out of the top five in various rankings. If you can get an official invitation, giving a speech in this school would be a great honor. However, Du Qiu is not qualified yet. He only participated in a small event spontaneously organized by students. It was held in a very ordinary step classroom, with not many listeners, only thirty or forty.

Although it was just a small event organized by students, Du Qiu came in high spirits. On the one hand, in 1995, American college students were the most important and active group on the Internet and they had to pay attention to it. On the other hand, they came to see the holy places of Silicon Valley just like they were traveling to Mountain View a few days ago.

If Mountain View represents the rich commercial culture of Silicon Valley, then Berkeley represents the open technical culture of Silicon Valley. The famous BSD and BSD license were born here. The full name of BSD is Berkeley Software Suite. It is one of the greatest products in open source software and one of the driving forces for the development of the Internet industry. Any operating system in the world, including Microsoft's Windows and Apple's OS-X, has benefited a lot from it.

Du Qiu's laptop is mainly used to watch movies and play games, so he installed the Window10 operating system. However, since he was admitted to university in 2008, the desktop computer used for programming has always been installed with the FreeBSD operating system. Not only did he learn a lot of knowledge and technology from the source code, but he also cultivated a programming style that pursues simplicity and rigorousness, so he has a high respect for this university.

The evening speech was quite effective. Du Qiu's English was not good, so he played with his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, did not talk about empty theories, nor did he sprinkle his bloody chicken soup, and he seriously talked about practice. He took the iView's research and development process as the axis, and used the books he read before traveling through time and his own thoughts as materials, and talked about some programming experiences. Although it was simple and unpretentious, it was very popular among students who knew the knowledge.

When the speech ended, a student stood up and asked, "Mr. Du, you have been promoting the idea of ​​open source software, but why did both of the published works use Microsoft's closed source operating system?"

"Because I only have Microsoft's operating system in my computer in China."

"That's a pity. We can give you a set of FreeBSD operating system CDs. The open source software should run on an open source operating system, not on Microsoft's junk."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have it, because the first item I bought after coming to the United States was the FreeBSD CD."

Amid the laughter and applause of the students, Jiang Danfeng glanced at Du Qiu with a smile.

The first item you bought in the United States is not the Bulls ticket...
