"Du Qiu!"

At San Francisco International Airport, Chen Dayou gave him an extremely enthusiastic hug when he saw Du Qiu. When he was at the Institute of Quantum Physics, he had an old-fashioned big back, wearing a gray down jacket, and talking all over his mouth. He was in a state of silence, as if he was about to retire. Now he had a fashionable side-partitioned head and a gorgeous and exaggerated Versace. He was energetic and energetic, as if he was spending money like a soil. The transformation was so great that Du Qiu suspected that he had been penetrated by a soul.

"I finally want to come to the United States. If I don't come, I will really fly to Japan and kidnap you."

"Brother Chen, this outfit is quite cool and stylish."

"Not you are so cool..."

After chatting with Du Qiu for a few moments, Chen Dayou turned his attention to Jennifer, looked at her unscrupulously, and teased in English: "Beauty, do you want me to send you home?"

Jennifer was completely immune to his lust - his confused eyes, and replied in Chinese that he had been using frequently recently: "Thank you, I'm welcome."

Although these two Chinese sentences cannot be considered as straightforward, they are not considered to be outdated. They have reached a level that most Chinese can understand. Chen Dayou was surprised and came to Du Qiu and praised in a low voice: "You are awesome, you are really good at training."

"She learned it herself, it has nothing to do with me." Du Qiu dragged her luggage while walking outside, changing the topic: "I heard from Uncle Chen that you bought a villa near Stanford University?"

"Yes, my mother insisted on buying it, it was so expensive. She took over a loan of more than $1 million, so she was counting on you to help get out of the trap."

"How did the meeting organized by 3c arrange the schedule?"

"The start of next Monday and ends on Wednesday. I have printed out the specific daily schedule. You can check it out after you get home."

Du Qiu came to the United States this time for two main purposes. One is to split Snapdragon's browser business for financing, and the other is to participate in the EB technology standardization meeting organized by the World Wide Web Alliance (3C) to seize the initiative in setting standards, which not only creates obstacles for future competitors, but also benefits future programmers.

In the original time and space, during the browser war in the late 1990s, Netscape and Microsoft broke up each other and created many very disgusting compatibility problems, which were endless and still caused headaches for front-end programmers 20 years later. If Du Qiu could unify the web design standards in 1995, the gratitude brought by this achievement alone would be enough to be a god.

Chen Dayou rented a Cadillac extended luxury concierge car that is common in Hollywood movies in the 1990s. He came to pick him up. Because Jennifer was there, it was not convenient to talk about financing. Du Qiu asked about the matter related to the EB standardization meeting and asked: "When will Tim Berners-Lee come to Mountain View?"

"It's already arrived yesterday." Chen Dayou took three bottles of beer from the car refrigerator and said while distributing it: "Steve Case has also arrived, and they are all looking forward to meeting you."

Steve Case is one of the hottest IT stars of AOL in 1995, but Du Qiu is not interested in him and asked again: "Where is Bert Persia?"

"He arrived last week and has completed the induction procedures. He is now a formal employee of our company."

"very good."

To design a web page, three basic technologies are required: html, javascript and css. Tim Berners-Lee created html, Du Qiu plagiarized javascript, and css is only in the prototype. In 1994, the basic concept was proposed by Bert Persia and Haken Wim-Lee, but a mature design has not yet been developed.

After Du Qiu tinkered with the IVE browser in March, he contacted Bert Persia, who was far away in Europe by email, and used some of the content of CSS 2.0 released in 1998 as bait. After several months of hookup, he finally got him from Europe to the United States and joined Snapdragon.

Another creator of CSS, Haken Wim Lai, was a colleague of the CERN and Tim Berners Lee, who had already joined 3C and was responsible for formulating and promoting Internet standards, so Du Qiu did not touch him. The big tree attracted the wind. If Snapdragon holds the right to formulate JavaScript and CSS standards in his hands, it would easily cause uneasiness and hostility among other companies, which would be detrimental to future promotion.

"What do Netscape think about setting standards?"

"What ideas can you have? As long as it is proposed, they will agree." Chen Dayou took a sip of beer and recalled proudly: "When we first went to Netscape a few months ago, you said you would formulate the Internet version of the "Napoleon Code". Mark Anderson agreed, but in fact he didn't pay attention to it. He only sent two employees as part-time liaison officers. He could not contact him once every ten days or half a month. Now it's different. They formed a team of more than 20 people to study your proposal."

"Who has Microsoft sent over?"

"Microsoft doesn't pay much attention to this meeting, and only sent a technician named Thomas Lairton to come over. Dawei said he is very familiar with you?"

"It's very familiar." Du Qiu was happy for his successful implementation of his delaying strategy, and was also a little proud and said with a smile: "When I was writing III browser in Seattle, I had a happy cooperation with Thomas, and he should support my proposal."

Jennifer watched coldly. Seeing the two chatting and laughing, she didn't take Microsoft seriously at all. She couldn't help but take the question that Du Qiu had asked several times but never got a reply, and asked Chen Dayou: "dylan, ie browser is quickly seizing the market. Netscape's stock price has fallen for 8 consecutive trading days, and its market value has shrunk by nearly 30%. Are you not worried about Snapdragon's financing plan?"

In the original time and space, Netscape in 1995 had no competitors and was in a glorious position in the stock market. It was issued for US$28 and opened for US$72. It then rose continuously, and rose to US$174 at the end of the year, staged a rare wealth miracle in financial history.

However, in this time and space, with the competition from Snapdragon, Netscape's issuance price is only US$22. Although it still reached more than US$70 at the opening, it no longer had the momentum to continue soaring. It has been fluctuating and hovering between US$70-80, and it has not even broken through US$90.

After the release of indos 95 on August 24, the media and users expressed satisfaction with the built-in IE 1.0 browser, believing that it is simple and easy to use, stable and efficient, and not inferior to Netjing's navigator, which caused Microsoft's stock price to rise sharply, while Netjing's stock price continued to decline, falling by 30% in just a few days, and its market value shrank from more than 3 billion to over 2 billion.

The Silicon Valley venture capital industry has always used Netscape's market value as a benchmark to measure Snapdragon's valuation. It is believed that the difference between the two is ten times. If Netscape shrinks, Snapdragon will also shrink, so Jennifer has this question.

"Jennifer, it is a very clever move to go to China to play a beauty plan against Du Qiu, but you have been away from Silicon Valley for too long and have become slow in judging the investment trend."

"I've only been away for 20 days."

"The wind direction in Silicon Valley changes again every day, and 20 days is enough to cause a hurricane." Chen Dayou talked a few ridiculous nonsense, and then explained: "In the past, Netscape led the way, Snapdragon followed, but now Snapdragon led the way. Netscape followed, the form changed, and the valuation also changed."

"Is that?" Jennifer asked without believing it, "Snapdragon's market share is only one-third of Netscape, and it has also been impacted by Microsoft. Why should we lead the way?"

"Jennifer, you have to know that although ie belongs to Microsoft in name, the source code belongs to Snapdragon before August 24 next year, and only this genius has the right to modify it." Chen Dayou pointed to Du Qiu and said, "He is the father of iscript. Now he holds two aces, IVie and IE, so he asks Netjing to do whatever he wants Netjing to do, otherwise Netjing will be dead after Microsoft gets the source code of IE next year."

Jennifer thought of the standardized meeting discussed just now, and she was instantly enlightened and understood that before getting the source code of IE browser, Microsoft had no say in the Internet field. Netscape must use this year's window period to fully cooperate with Du Qiu to formulate and promote various standards to raise the technical threshold and create a moat. Only in this way can it be possible to defeat Microsoft in the future.

On the other hand, in order not to be left behind by Netscape, Microsoft will also strive for Du Qiu. In this way, Snapdragon will be able to compete with each other and become the focus of competition between the two sides. With unique value, the previous evaluation standards will naturally fail.

"In this way, is the news that Microsoft offered $500 million to acquire Snapdragon a few days ago true?"

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake, who knows." Chen Dayou knocked his legs crossed, swaying the beer can, and looked like a wise bead was holding it, and teased: "Jennifer, information is the source of wealth. If you want to spy on information, you have to pay the price first. Like Du Qiu, I like beauty tricks the most..."

Jennifer had always looked down on Chen Dayou's clumsy way of picking up girls, and he was even more upset at this time. Before he could finish speaking, he took out his cell phone from his bag and dialed it. After chatting for a few minutes, he sneered: "Microsoft executives are now busy celebrating the big sale of indos 95, and they have no interest in paying attention to you."

Du Qiu, who had been watching the wall, smiled, lowered his head and spread his hands, made a classic gentleman-like thank-you move, and said, "Jenny, you have helped a lot, thank you."

Chen Dayou beat the snake and followed the stick, and said with a nickname: "Jenny, not everyone can keep in touch with Microsoft's senior management at any time, especially on Netscape."

Jennifer found herself being exploited and was a little angry and glared at Du Qiu with hatred, then pointed at Chen Dayou and said, "Auto can call me jenny, you can't, because you are not my friend."

She has always shown herself as a noble and cool workplace elite, but at this time she seems to be a middle school girl with a unique charm. Not only is Chen Dayou very amazed, but Du Qiu also feels that this girl has a taste of life that she has not had before. She is no longer a delicate but boring Barbie doll, but a sexy beauty with flesh and blood.
