After arranging Jiang Danfeng's work, Xu Yongrui came over and handed Du Qiu a floppy disk and a list, and reported: "Mr. Du, this is the code I accepted at Sanjiang University, Yuncheng University and University of Science and Technology yesterday. I have listed the few that are of good quality separately."

When Du Qiu gave a speech on May 2, he left an unfinished open source notepad program called iNote and announced that the code provided by students will be accepted once a week. May 2 is Tuesday, so the first acceptance time was May 9, but he was still in Thailand at that time, so he temporarily arranged for Xu Yongrui to do this work.

Xu Yongrui's appearance is a bit like a Hong Kong film and television star named Wu Qihua. He is handsome and evil, gentle and elegant, and has a lot of lethality to women. But in fact, he is a fickle radish and has a very indulgent private life. After graduating from university in 1991, he changed three companies in three years. He resigned every time because of a romantic storm. In 1994, he was even more arrogant and cuckolded several foreign executives in a row, and became famous. As a result, he was collectively banned by several foreign-funded enterprises in the capital.

The treatment of domestic enterprises and institutions is too low to meet the expenses of spending money on living and drinking. Xu Yongrui had to become a self-employed person and do odd jobs everywhere in the form of firefighters. Fortunately, he is very irresponsible to women, but is very responsible for work, has outstanding abilities, and has a good reputation in the industry. Chen Dayou introduced it to Du Qiu based on the principle of giving full play to his talents, and then recruited him to the company.

When this guy arrived in Yuncheng, he kidnapped a beautiful girl from the capital, and didn't know if she had sent her back...

Don't make any romantic affairs again...

While complaining, Du Qiu looked at the list and found that there were only 7 people in total, so he asked, "So few?"

"These are the names of fresh graduates who are willing to work at Snapdragon, and those students or teachers in school, I have sorted them out on the floppy disk."

Du Qiu said oh, put the floppy disk in the storage box next to the monitor, and said, "Manager Xu, you should have studied the iDesign project these days. Are you willing to take over?"

"I think it's very interesting, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Du Qiu pulled out the folder with the iDesign tag from the desk, stood up and handed it to him, and asked, "How many people do you want to recruit?"

"Mr. Du has designed the general framework. I only need to improve it. Three or four people are enough."

Xiao Wu, who was sitting nearby, slid with his toes, pushed the office chair and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you have to add conditions to this pervert. You can recruit people, but you are not allowed to recruit girls, otherwise he will turn the company into a Grand View Garden."

Xu Yongrui did not have the same knowledge as her, so he smiled gently and turned around and left.

Originally, Du Qiu arranged for Xu Yongrui to assist Qin Mu in making office software, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. After Qin Mu decided to do electronic tax calculation software first, he seemed to be useless when he stayed there in the working group. So Du Qiu turned to him to be responsible for the development of the web design software iDesign. This guy is an omnivorous animal with a wide range of knowledge and can play anything, and he can make some achievements. However, people's energy is limited, and chasing breadth will inevitably lose depth. Therefore, he can only be a senior tinkerer and cannot do some deep work like He Lixing and Xiao Wu.

However, omnivorous is not a bad thing. With such a helper, Du Qiu only needs to build the framework and leave the specific implementation to Xu Yongrui to complete. The workload is greatly reduced. Moreover, the research and development of open source software is not as strict as closed source software. As long as the main functions are done well and there are no serious bugs, it can be released. Then, the feedback code is used to improve it in a fast iteration way, so there is no need to worry that he will mess it up.

iDesign is a tactically critical but not strategically important software. After being handed over to Xu Yongrui, Du Qiu can focus on operating systems and databases. Both of these are strategic killers at the nuclear weapon level and must be taken seriously.

There is no need to hurry the operating system for the time being, because the University of California, Berkeley will not release the second version of 4.4BSD-Lite until June, which is the most mature and final 4.4BSD operating system. After that, Berkeley disbanded the computer system research team and no longer has a native BSD operating system. Some of them are only branches of different types such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.

Now, the Snapdragon Software company only has the incomplete version that Du Qiu got from Berkeley students in early April. There is no problem with reference and research, but it is not enough to be used as a blueprint for the distribution. Moreover, the American master invited by He Lixing will not come until mid-May, so there is no need to hurry up and catch up.

As for the database, there is no doubt that Du Qiu will definitely choose MySQL as the prototype to create his own products.

In 1998, a German computer magazine proposed the concept of "LAMP". Later, after being widely promoted by O'Reilly Media, it became a famous abbreviation in the IT industry, which refers to four open source software required to build web servers: Linux operating system, Apache web server, MySQL database, and scripting languages ​​such as PHP, Perl or Python.

Apache has appeared, Perl and Python have also appeared. Although PHP has not appeared yet, it is different from JavaScript and cannot be used as a killer weapon. Therefore, if you want to compete with Linux, the only breakthrough is MySQL.

The development history of MySQL is quite tortuous. The founder Michael-Widenius started database research and development as early as 1979. In 1990, he decided to build his own database. After 6 years of struggle, he released MySQL 1.0 to internal users in early 1996, and then skipped version 2.0 directly. In October of the same year, he released version 3.11.1. It was initially only run under the Solaris operating system of SUN, but it was soon transplanted to the Linux platform. After more than two years of development and preparation, the official version was released in 1998.

If you use an analogy, old databases such as Oracle and DB2 are equivalent to elephants, and MySQL is equivalent to a small donkey. The early Internet was a newly developed rice field. At this time, using small donkeys to cultivate land was obviously time-saving and labor-saving, and easier to control than elephants. Therefore, after the release, it quickly swept the world and became the first choice for small and medium-sized enterprises to build Internet platforms.

MySQL was not mature in the early days, and its functions, performance and stability were not satisfactory. It was not until the release of version 3.23 in 2001 that it truly grew into an excellent database product. Therefore, Du Qiu skipped the previous version directly and wrote a long email to Xiao Wu in the United States based on version 4.0 released in 2003 as a blueprint, explaining her how to create her own products.

Xiao Wu has a calm personality but is not conservative, a flexible mind but not skillful. He is the most talented among the six initial employees, with no lack of technology or experience. However, he is trapped by the limitations of the times, has a narrow vision and a bit rigid thinking. After Du Qiu's guidance, his ability has been improved leaps and he completed some functions in two months. After coming to Yuncheng, he was very energetic and squeezed the two new employees she recruited into ecstasy.

The two new employees were named Zhang Yu and Zhao Hongfei. They were both people with impure motivation and other intentions. On the train to Yuncheng, Qin Mu predicted that they would be driven away by Du Qiu soon, but the reality surprised him because not only did not leave, but instead worked hard to go to work and worked harder than the eight employees he recruited.

Zhang Yu was arrogant and felt that he was very capable and should be very relaxed at work. He planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working. However, after working for a few days at Snapdragon, his ambition and arrogance quickly disappeared because he could not keep up with Xiao Wu's pace and could not understand many things. However, Du Qiu could quickly give better optimization opinions on these things that he could not understand, which made him feel that he was shameless and brave, and had the motivation to do his best to work.

Zhao Hongfei was half-hearted and thought that Snapdragon was well-known abroad and could be used as a springboard to find opportunities to go to Silicon Valley, because Silicon Valley can make a lot of money. However, after working for a few days, he keenly discovered that Du Qiu's technical strength is far beyond the outside world's imagination, and he is ambitious and has a huge structure. If he develops well, he is likely to become a Chinese Microsoft. If he can stay and become a entrepreneurship veteran, he will make more money than Silicon Valley, so he is working hard, for fear of falling behind.

Du Qiu was communicating with Xiao Wu and others about the database work all morning, but he didn't even read the email. At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from Zhou Yuan and said: "Mr. Du, several Taiwanese media reported that you and Secretary Jiang had assassinated Teresa Teng."

I'll go!

What the hell?

Du Qiu was stunned by it, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing.
Chapter completed!
