Chapter 48 Establishment of the IT Empire
Although Wang Lei did not know how to program computers and hack, the Qidian novel in his previous life was not for nothing. In addition, his ten-year career as an otaku made him very familiar with the Internet, so he talked with three great masters, Eric Raymond, James Gosling and Kevin Mitnik. The style of computer and Internet experts fooled Eric Raymond, James Gosling and Kevin Mitnik.
As for John Loupe and Ronald Cohen, they can only listen from beginning to end and can't get into the mouth at all.
Finally, Wang Lei said to Kevin Mitnik: "Kevin, I know you have an unusual hobby for computers and invasion of the Internet, just like a drug addict. But do you really want to continue like this forever? You have been caught twice, and the F-pse has been following you. If you are caught again, it will not be as simple as imprisonment for half a year or a few months. You may be prohibited from getting close to computers or things related to the Internet for life. If you want to survive, you have to convince you.
Jobs or porters are like jobs. Don’t think I’m exaggerating. If you do what you do, this result will be born sooner or later! Your outstanding talent and talent cannot be buried like this. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, we can build an IT empire. The future of the Internet will be created by us. Think about how great the achievement this is? This is much better than your illegal invasion of the Pentagon or F-powered Internet secrets, and then wait for being arrested all day long, right?"
Kevin Mitnik remained silent.
James Gosling couldn't help asking: "What benefits will we get when we work with you?"
Wang Lei said: "I invested funds to set up a company to point out the way for the company's development. You are the veterans of the company, responsible for opening the software I proposed in this planning book. I will give each of you one percent of the shareholding. When you complete the work, you will add a certain share depending on the level of your contribution, which can reach up to 10%. As long as you can complete the work according to my planning book, the company can make a profit in at most two years, so that you all have a net worth of more than one million, exceed ten million in five years, and exceed 100 million in ten years. When the new century, after the company goes public, maybe someone among you will surpass Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple to become a wealthy man with a net worth of over ten billion!"
After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "You are not ordinary people. You are experts in the fields of computers and programming. After reading the planning book I wrote, I believe you all have your own opinions. Have I spoken loudly? Can you argue, right?"
Eric Raymond asked: "You are going to get the company's address there?"
Wang Lei replied: "Silicon Valley!"
After a half-minute silence, Eric Raymond agreed first: "I joined, but I asked to lead the online gaming platform mentioned in the planning book, such as Counter-Strike. This game looks very interesting. If it can be successfully opened, I believe it will be popular all over the world!"
Wang Lei smiled. He had already known when he communicated before that Raymond not only knows karate, but also likes to play bloody and violent shooting games. "Counter-Strike" is a shooting game that was once popular all over the world in his previous life, obviously touching Raymond's itch, and it is not surprising that he will be the first to agree to join.
Wang Lei nodded, but said, "Welcome to join, Raymond, but you don't have to hurry to open an online gaming platform. You have to open an im instant messaging chat software first. It is not realistic to open an online gaming platform without im!"
Raymond nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll try to open the instant messaging chat software first!"
James Gosling also spoke, "I'll join too, what do you want me to open?"
Wang Lei said: "I want you to cooperate with Kevin to lead John and Ronald to open a new graphics desktop operating system. Although Microsoft currently has the Indos operating system, indos is too simple. I ask you to open the first generation of graphics operating system mixed with 16-bit/32-bit in my planning book. Not only can you pull up the number and surf the Internet, transfer files, listen to music and play small games, but you must also have office software, web browser, email and im chat software. As long as you can make it within three years, we can defeat Microsoft and create the era of mutual networking!"
Goslin felt a little stressed and said, "This is not a small project. To succeed and achieve the effect you mentioned in the planning book, you not only need to know software programming, but also need to be proficient and able to turn on hardware. Otherwise, even if you open it, the current personal computers and servers produced may not be compatible, which will cause a crash!"
Wang Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, the computer hardware is going to be very fast. When you turn on the first generation of operating systems, the computer hardware may have been upgraded to two or three levels, and its functions and efficiency will be more powerful! As for the proficiency in hardware, Kevin, are you joining?"
Kevin Mitnik, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he nodded, "Okay, you convinced me, I will join, but I requested at least 10% of the shares, of course, dry shares!"
Wang Lei agreed without considering it: "Okay, as long as you can complete the first generation of operating systems, you, Gosling and Raymond can get 10% of the dry shares!"
Anyway, holding a dry stock has no control over the company, which is similar to dividends. Wang Lei will never be stingy with the ability to "kidnap" Mitnik, Gosling and Raymond.
As for John Lupp and Ronald Cohen, when Zhou Yuqiang "spoofed" them from Harvard University, he had already agreed to give them a low salary of 200,000 US dollars and year-end bonus every year, and even signed the contract. Both of them could not regret it.
Besides, they are not as strong as Mitnik and the other two, so they are embarrassed to ask for 10% of their shareholding. It would be great if they could get one percent.
The first generation of graphics operating system described in the planning book is similar to the indos98 system launched by Microsoft in his previous life. Microsoft is so simple that it is unreasonable. There are no other programs except calendars, clocks, computers, notepads, writing boards, drawings and simple black and white chess games.
The ie browser seems to have to wait until 1994 Microsoft will be launched. Wang Lei doesn't want to wait for seven or eight years to access the Internet like he did in his previous life. He wants to add this process, even if he starts a war with Microsoft and Apple because of this.
Because Wang Lei described it in the planning book too in detail, he wrote almost all the programs and applications of indos98 one by one. With the abilities of the three great gods Mitnik, Gosling and Raymond, plus the two students assisted by the father of C language, Wang Lei believes that they should be able to open indos98 within two or three years, and the time will be shorter.
As long as indos98 is released a few years ahead of schedule, its IT company will definitely defeat Microsoft and become the overlord of the new PC software. It has a net worth of 10 billion yuan, and it is not a dream to become a global rich like Bill Gates in his previous life.
If you want to acquire Columbia Pictures or Marvel Comics then, there will be no pressure!
Maybe he can acquire an NBA team or boxing league like Paul Allen, another founder of Microsoft.
After convinced Kevin Mitnik, James Gosling and Eric Raymond, Wang Lei immediately asked Zhou Yuqiang to draft the agreement.
In the agreement, Wang Lei called the IT company to be registered as the "IT Empire", with an investment of up to 10 million US dollars, and all the funds were paid by him. Therefore, he is the major shareholder and chairman, and owns 60% of the company's shares. The remaining 40%, in addition to the distribution of Kevin Mitnik, James Gosling and Eric Raymond, each of them, John Lupp and Ronald Cohen. The remaining 8%, Wang Lei distributed it to the sisters Zhou Yuqiang and Zhou Yuwei, and also asked Zhou Yuqiang to temporarily serve as the company's general manager and legal counsel.
After all, Zhou Yuqiang and Zhou Yuwei are one of their elder sister-in-law and the other is their future wife, and they are considered family members.
Zhou Yuqiang was flattered, but still agreed to Wang Lei's appointment.
She also read the planning book. Although she had no idea about computers and the Internet, her IQ was not low and realized that if it really evolved into the "Internet era" that Wang Lei mentioned in the future, the "it Empire Company" would definitely have great achievements.
This eight percent of the shares may really make her a billionaire.
After convinced Kevin Mitnik and others, Wang Lei then met Chand Cohen.
Tom Hanks, who came with Chand Cohen, also the male lead of "Butterfly Effect".
That's right, it's the Hollywood actor in his previous life, starring Tom Hanks, "Forrest Gump", "Philadelphia Story", "Sleepless Night in Seattle" and "Save Private Ryan".
At this time, Tom Hanks was still very young and had just begun to become popular. He had not yet won the Oscar for Best Actor nomination. When Chand Cohen won Wang Lei's script "Butterfly Effect", Chand Cohen, as a science fiction fan and a Star Wars fan, loved the script very much. Not only did he immediately decide to invest in filming, he generously gave Wang Lei a 10% box office share, but he also asked Wang Lei to participate in the selection of actors.
At that time, Wang Lei was busy training and just asked Chand Cohen to report the hero's name on the phone.
He ended up hearing Tom Hanks' name.
In amazement, I asked for a long time and confirmed that Tom Hanks was the Hollywood actor in his previous life, so I made Tom Hanks the lead actor in "The Butterfly Effect".
Anyway, Ashton Kutcher, the male lead in "The Butterfly Effect" in his previous life, was still a little brat under ten years old at this time. It would be impossible for him to play, so it would be better to give it to Tom Hanks.
"Butterfly Effect" has been completed now, and Wang Lei has not yet been watched as a film, but according to Chand Cohen, the filming was very good. Because the director is still Brian Yoz who filmed "Midnight Bell", he shot it completely according to Wang Lei's storyboard script without any changes.
Tom Hanks knew from Cohen that it was Wang Lei who appointed him to play the male lead, and was grateful, so he came to Las Vegas with Cohen to support Wang Lei's game and also came to thank Wang Lei in person.
(I was originally planning to simply write about Wang Lei’s investment plan so that Wang Lei would become a billionaire earlier, but as he was writing, he unknowingly wrote a total of 6,000 words. Two chapters were not started, and I was also ashamed. Don’t blame me. Next time I write about the plot that has nothing to do with boxing!)
(By the way, let me say that if there is no surprise in the future, the update will be changed to the evening. The two chapters together, it is not convenient to write while working in the company, sorry!)
