Chapter 76 Benefits and Investigations

“On March 26, 1995, iView was officially released…”

"On March 29, 1995, the official iView website was launched..."

"On March 31, 1995, the number of iView downloads exceeded 10,000..."

"On April 6, 1995, the first transplant product of iView appeared..."

"On April 8, 1995, the number of iView downloads exceeded 50,000." Du Qiu filled out the latest honor record on the iView official website, then picked up a bottle of beer placed next to the monitor, and greeted Chen Dayou who was standing behind him: "Brother Chen, finally accounts for 1% of the global market share, congratulations on making a fortune."

"Happy and happy together." Chen Dayou was very satisfied with the achievements he achieved in more than ten days and said with a smile: "In fact, in addition to the official and partner downloads, there are also many private distributions between users. I estimate that there should be about 70,000 or 80,000 users."

"There are now more than 1 million websites, 5 million hosts, 30 million netizens, and what are the 70,000 or 80,000 users around the world?"

"Then let's keep working hard and keep working hard." Chen Dayou held up the beer bottle and touched him, reminding him: "Don't indulge in the gentle village after you return to China. It's better to quickly get the iDesign web page production software out. Now many users are not only interested in surfing the Internet, but also interested in creating their own web pages. As long as you make it out, iView and iDesign are in the same way. If you hit it out, it will definitely be unstoppable. It will not only push up the number of iView users, but also help promote iScript technology."

"I'll make it as soon as possible."

Consumption and production are like hens and eggs, which are interdependent. If there are not enough dynamic websites, the advantages of the iView browser cannot be utilized. Therefore, if Du Qiu wants to turn iScript into an industry standard, in addition to the browser, he also needs to provide easy-to-use, efficient and cheap production tools to stimulate relevant practitioners to actively design dynamic web pages. This tool is what Chen Dayou mentioned, which is the next product that he decided before coming to the United States.

In 2016, if ordinary users wanted to make their own pages, they could find a social networking website and follow the steps and click the mouse to easily handle it. It was both free and convenient. However, in 1995, making web pages was a high-end trendy technical job, which not only cost money, but also cost a lot. For example, the Chinese Yellow Pages created by Jack Ma in 1995 was to help domestic companies make web pages. A web page of 3,000 words plus a photo, which charged 20,000 yuan...

If you don’t want to spend money, you can only do it yourself. So in the mid-to-late 1990s, web page production software was one of the most popular fields. Microsoft’s FrontPage and Macromedia’s Dreamweaver were popular all over the world. Various reference books sold in the streets and alleys. Like Windows’ introduction guides, Office learning tutorials and other books, it became a must-have for many computer enthusiasts on the desks.

The reason why Du Qiu is very familiar with front-end designs such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript is that he caught up with this trend and when he was still in elementary school, he followed his enlightenment master Chen Xinmin and his senior brother Chen Yuanqi to make money. The highest record was that he helped four companies build homepages during the summer vacation and earned more than 10,000 yuan. At that time, he was only 10 years old and also got 2,000 yuan, which made his parents talk about for many years.

When Du Qiu graduated from elementary school in 2002, Chen Yuanqi happened to graduate from high school and was about to leave Jingui Garden. So he built a private website together as a commemoration. Not only did he often share content of his interest, but he also had to redesign the website every time he had new technologies or new ideas. The advertising copywriting he made during Notepad marketing actually came from Chen Yuanqi's sharing. After graduating from university, he worked in an online advertising company and was already a technical director-level executive in 2016.

In 1995, when he started a browser, there were strong competitors like Netscape in the market, but in the market, there was no one in the market to do web design software, because FrontPage and Dreamweaver were both products that only appeared after 1997. With Du Qiu's technology and experience, he only needed to create something slightly decent, which could attract a large number of web developers to join him. So he was not worried about this. After chatting with Chen Dayou for a while, he went upstairs to find Jiang Danfeng and prepared to set off to the airport.

Jiang Danfeng was standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking back at the experience of investing in the yen in the past few days. Although Du Qiu predicted that the yen would appreciate, the exchange rate did not change straight up and down, but was fluctuating violently, so the risks were always there.

On April 3, the yen fell instead of rising, losing more than 800 US dollars and being deducted of 500 yuan in salary. I felt very aggrieved.

The second move on April 4th, the yen did rise, but because of being too cautious, I only earned more than 200 US dollars, and I felt extremely upset.

The third move was made on April 5, and the yen continued to appreciate. This time, I saw the opportunity and made more than 1,300 US dollars. I felt very proud.

The fourth move on April 6th, the yen appreciated sharply. This time, Du Qiu changed the leverage ratio and investment method and made more than 31,000 US dollars. I feel like I am going crazy.

The fifth move on April 7th, the yen soared sharply. This time the funds changed from 20,000 US dollars to 50,000 US dollars, making 115,000 US dollars, and it felt like the world was going crazy.

"God? Monster?" Jiang Danfeng murmured a movie line, then stroked his cheek with both hands, and said to himself: "Don't think about it in the future. Do whatever he says. Anyway, he is dizzy and can't stand the point of saying something casually."

"The sun is so big outside, what are you doing on the balcony?" Du Qiu knocked on the false door and asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"Okay, come here."

Jiang Danfeng carried his red suitcase and left the guest room with Du Qiu. When he went down to the first floor, Qiqi ran over with a small pink envelope and asked, "Uncle Qiu, when will you come again?"

"Come here again in autumn."

"Then you must come in autumn. You can't keep your word like a bad uncle." Qiqi handed the envelope Zheng Erzhongzhi to Du Qiu and said, "This is my letter to Brother Jinyan. Please help me take it over and ask him to write a reply to me. You are not allowed to peek on the road. You can only read it after Brother Jinyan has seen it."

"Okay, I will definitely ask him to write a reply to you, and I will never peek at you on the way."

Wei Zhiqin picked up Qiqi and asked her to kiss Du Qiu twice, then said with a smile: "Du Qiu, if you can get a visa, you will bring your nephew here for a few days next time and let the two little guys meet. I see that they are very close to each other on the phone."

"I will."

Chen Dayou bought a Ford SUV in the name of the company and drove Du Qiu and Jiang Danfeng to San Francisco International Airport. Before parting, he reminded again: "Du Qiu, the United States spends money like water, and it will be gone for tens of thousands of dollars. Your 400,000 investment will be received as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be able to start my work."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be in place before May 1st."

After Chen Dayou left, Jiang Danfeng asked while walking towards the waiting room: "Du Qiu, why didn't you tell Chen Dayou that he made a lot of money by investing in Japanese yen?"

"Investing in yen is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company's business. Why should I tell him?"

"You have made a lot of money these days, so he can invest."

"Making money yesterday does not mean you can still make money tomorrow, and I can't guarantee that the yen will appreciate." Du Qiu saw through her intentions and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Danfeng smiled cunningly, changed the name, and said in a singular voice: "Mr. Du, when you asked me to invest in the yen, I once said that if I make a profit, I will have a commission of 5%.

"That's right."

"Then can I use the commission of more than $7,000 as principal and put it in your account to invest yen with you?"

"Yes, but I have to charge a 10% handling fee."

"Mr. Du..." Jiang Danfeng spoke in a long voice and complained: "You are too stingy, even my poor subordinates are exploited."

"I will pay you a salary. You are a subordinate. If you follow me to invest, you are a customer. Of course, you will have to charge a handling fee."

Jiang Danfeng gave him helplessly, changed his previous title, and said, "Du Qiu, you said a few days ago that I look like a robot. I think you are a real robot. Your brain is made up of programs, one is one, two is two, are you tired of living like this?"

"I think the relationship between people is purer and will make you live easier, not more tired."

"Nonsense!"

After more than ten days of traveling to the United States, the relationship between the two was already very familiar. While chatting, they completed the check-in procedures. After the plane took off, Jiang Danfeng looked through the magazine for a while and felt bored and irritable. He asked, "Du Qiu, when are you planning to sign a formal contract with me?"

"When will your graduation defense be held?"

"At the end of June, I have a good relationship with my supervisor and I have already written the paper. I will just go through the motions at that time, it doesn't matter."

"Then sign the contract when you return home."

Although Du Qiu intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he had signed the contract, this time he gave a formal reply. Jiang Danfeng smiled happily, folded his hands together, and clapped lightly and quickly on his chest like a hummingbird's wings, celebrating that he had finally got the job.

After she was happy for a while, she leaned towards Du Qiu and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, why don't you pay me a few months' salary in advance? I'll raise 10,000 US dollars to invest."

"You want to pay your salary before you even signed a formal work contract?"

Jiang Danfeng's beautiful eyes were circulating, and he looked at Du Qiu with a smile, teasing: "We have to stay in New York for several days. If you pay me a salary in advance, I will go to the evening shift in advance."

Her teasing is very enchanting and seductive, but Du Qiu is not the Chu brother in love. She resisted the charm, raised her fingers and made a bully tease a good woman. She said with a stern face: "The secretary is the secretary, and the mistress is the mistress. The work content is different and the requirements are different. I have to inspect it for a few nights first, and then pay the salary."

Jiang Danfeng was defeated again and his face turned red. He picked up the magazine and smashed Du Qiu gently, and said coquettishly: "Then I'd better be a secretary. Who do you like to inspect and who will go!"

"In fact, I'm really going to inspect a woman." Du Qiu pointed to the cover of the magazine in her hand and said, "I want to inspect her. Please help me check her recent itinerary."

Jiang Danfeng turned over the magazine and found that it was Princess Diana on it. So he sneered and said, "It's so terrifying! If you can examine her, I will let you investigate."

"Then let's just say that."
