It took about two hours to fly from Seattle to Silicon Valley. After chatting with Jennifer for a while, Du Qiu turned on his laptop and demonstrated the idesign software that had not been completed. These days, he was busy developing a browser at Microsoft and stored a lot of testing materials in his computer hard drive. He quickly designed a webpage that was very simple in 2016 but looked beautiful in 1995.

"Okay, this will almost complete the production of a web page."

The seats in the private jet can be adjusted and a detachable desk, which is very convenient for communication. Jennifer and Du Qiu sat shoulder to shoulder, just like enjoying the painter's paintings. Watching him operate like flowing water and typing in a dazzling time, they made the web page in a short while, and they were more swift and chic than everyone I had seen before. They couldn't help but say, "It's amazing! This is a very useful software. It is much more efficient than R's page and is very convenient to use."

r is blank, and we have developed web page production software from scratch. Du Qiu has been around the ocean. After seeing the prosperity, he went backwards to develop. One was climbing up from the bottom of the mountain and the other was walking down from the top of the mountain. Of course, it was not the same. He pushed the laptop to Jennifer and asked, "Do you have a trial version of the page?"

"Yes, but in the office, I can copy one for you if you need it." Jennifer took the mouse, read the pages he had just designed, and said confidently: "Tim will like this product of yours."

"R Where is this company? How many employees do you have?"

Jennifer was very sharp, looked at him with a look and asked, "Do you want to buy them?"

"This software is just a semi-finished product, with many flaws, and I need human hands to improve it."

Free open source software has low requirements. As long as the basic functions are not problematic, it can be issued, because it can be modified and improved according to feedback at any time. However, closed source charging software cannot be used. It is impossible that the 1.0 version was sold today, and the 1.1 version will be released next week. In this way, users will hold their coins and are unwilling to buy it. Therefore, in the traditional software industry, most of them will only update a version in one or two years, with a longer cycle and high quality requirements. Xu Yongrui and a few interns may not be able to issue it for another half a year, so they must recruit soldiers and replacing peers is the most convenient way to recruit people.

Besides, if they do not abduct r, they will be acquired by Microsoft in a short time, and there will be a competitor in vain...

You should know that Microsoft likes to bundle. Once you acquire r and use pages to design the web page, you can only parse it on the ie browser...

"R is only a few people, and they are currently looking for investment everywhere. They don't need much money to acquire them." Jennifer was impressed by Du Qiu's demonstration just now. He was very optimistic about the idea project, regarded it as a treasure, and offered to him: "We Defengjie can be an intermediary to help you operate."

"Let's talk about it after you've seen your boss."

", I'll take back what I said just now, you're not a confident person, you're a paranoid murderer." Jennifer put down his mouse and spread his hands to ask, "Why are you so resistant to venture capital? We're not human-eating monsters, we're the booster to help you grow."

"Jennifer, startups are like girls. Most of the boyfriends you find at the age of sixteen or seventeen are not good ones, and Snapdragon is just a twelve or twelve-year-old girl." Du Qiu looked at her delicate facial features and tried to remember this beautiful face, and asked seriously: "There are many startups in Silicon Valley. Why did you choose to find me to make your first investment? I am a Chinese. You don't understand my personality, nor the culture of our country, and you don't even know what products my company is doing."

"I was impressed by your interview with Wired." Jennifer raised three delicate fingers and explained: "You have a good story, a good product, and a good concept. Investing in you has little risk and great returns. Because the media likes your story, they will also increase the exposure of the product when they report you. For example, after Wired published your story in May, iView's market share rose from less than 8% to 15.7% in a month."

"It seems that you did not have a job as a reporter for the year of "Red Herring"."

"Of course." Jennifer smiled and said, "That was what Jim Clark did when he founded Netscape in April last year. A 22-year-old genius boy was suppressed by the bureaucracy and forced to resign and wandered to Silicon Valley. A frustrated billionaire started a business again, one old and one young, working together to pursue the American dream with high technology, and so on. Netscape's reputation was hyped up in a few months. At that time, they didn't even have beta products."

"The bureaucrats suppress Mark Anderson?"

"When he graduated from the University of Illinois at Champagne, NCSA's management forced him to leave the Masic browser R&D team and took away the software copyright. Mark Anderson had to work in a small company in Silicon Valley." Jennifer deserves to be a reporter, with a lot of gossip news, introducing: "Jim Clark is the founder of SGI, with a wealth of more than $300 million. He failed in the internal struggle of the company a few years ago and was kicked out of the company, so he invested in and founded Netscape."

"I see."

"For ordinary users, the high-tech industry is very mysterious and boring. They are not interested in understanding professional terms such as code, algorithm, mathematics, rendering, etc., and it is difficult to promote it. So if the founder of a company has a good story, it is a great advantage. Look, Netscape has a good story, and then it succeeds, and other browser companies fail because the exposure rate is not on the same level."

This girl is really a girl who has inherited her mother's business and is very talented in public relations and marketing...

Her mother spent a sky-high price of $3 million a few months ago to buy a song from the Rolling Stones to promote Windows 95. It was probably a similar method, because Bill Gates had no legendary stories to tell except wealth...

DeFengjie Ventures is located in Menlo Park, Silicon Valley. It is a very small city with a population of only 20,000 to 30,000, which is not as many as small towns in China. However, the environment is very good. Just next to Stanford University, in the original time and space, the headquarters of K, which was originally founded here by Google, is also located here. There is a street called Dune Road, which is the headquarters of famous venture capital companies such as Sequoia Capital, Kelpen Huaying, Enyi Investment, and Mayfield. It is the core engine of Silicon Valley. It is known as the world along with Wall Street in New York.
