Chapter 411 Gathering a handful of Internet wool

   "Boss Qin, what are they going to do if they want to come here?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao with a smile: "Even if we fooled them with the 250 company and signed an agreement, but after all, it is a fact that we were deceived."

  Xu Zhengyang knows Qin Tao's methods, no matter what he does, he will never leak, so there must be more than just those foreshadowings.

  Hearing Xu Zhengyang's question, Qin Tao smiled: "Guess."

   "I can't guess." Xu Zhengyang shook his head.

"In the contract, there is also an attachment, which clearly states that the manufacturing process of this batch of steel plates is complicated, and the storage is also very special. It must be stored in a dry place with constant temperature, and must not be used in a humid and salty environment. .So, they transported directly by ordinary cargo ships. During this process, they caused irreversible structural changes inside the steel plate, which eventually led to a significant reduction in strength. We are not responsible, it is because of their improper transportation.”

   "What if they don't believe it?"

   "Then buy another ten tons of steel and go back, transport it according to the method I said, and try it when you go back."

  Xu Zhengyang felt a chill for a while.

  However, to deal with this kind of person, you have to use this method. In this era, honest people will suffer.

   "Boss Qin, the things salvaged from the sea have come up. The largest piece, 18.7 tons, should be a record. We also salvaged bronze medals and other items."

  Xu Zhengyang talked about something else.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Well, these things are placed in our museum to remind the people of the country not to forget the national humiliation!"

  Qin Tao attaches great importance to this kind of patriotic education.

  The strength of the national defense of the motherland and the strength of the sea force not only require the efforts of one's own generation, but also the efforts of the next generation. Therefore, we must cultivate this feeling of the next generation.

  My generation lives in an era when the country is open. Many people are fascinated by the colorful world outside, and will subconsciously feel inferior, and then become banana people. And the new generation, after birth, the motherland has become stronger, they will not worship foreigners, they will not feel how noble foreigners are, and they will have strong national self-confidence and pride.

   "Boss Qin, you are really a special person." Xu Zhengyang also said with emotion.

   "Why is it special?" Xu Zhengyang smiled and said nothing.

  Boom boom!

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, it's not good, there's a fight in our third design office!"

   Fight?

  When Qin Tao heard this, he was stunned: "Is there such a thing? Let's go and have a look."

  Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is normal to have friction. Due to different living habits, there may be more friction. However, if the friction turns into a fight, it will not be allowed.

  Of course Qin Tao would not allow this kind of thing to happen on his own territory.

  However, this is enough for him to have a headache. If there is a conflict between the Chinese and the old Maozi, then no matter how he coordinates, he will be suspected of taking sides.

   No wonder he came forward.

However, when Qin Tao passed by, he found that things were not so bad. The old Maozi was just watching the fun, and the conflict was brought by a person brought by Mr. Zhao and a staff member who was originally working for the Mingzhou Group. , and there was no real fight, it was just that the two sides were fighting with each other, and you came and went, blushing.

   "Zhang Dong, don't talk about it!" Mr. Zhao was yelling at the people he brought: "We are here as guests, and we have to leave after finishing this project. Why should this kind of unpleasantness happen?"

   "Mr. Zhao, what we are discussing now is a technical issue. In this regard, I will never regress."

  Old Zhao arrived in time to prevent the situation from deteriorating. However, he only prevented the two from fighting, and had no other means to stop them.

  After all, this Zhang Dong is also a bull-tempered person, and the person on the other side is also angry.

Qin Tao also knows about the people on his own side. The top student who graduated from Huating University, named Wang Hua, was recruited by Qin Tao to the third design department after graduation. He is a rare talent in computer management. Responsible for design, but managing these computers is definitely a good hand.

  What kind of conflict will Zhang Dongneng have with him?

   "What's going on?" Qin Tao asked.

   "Boss Qin, this person wants to reveal the secrets of our research department!" Wang Hua said angrily.

"The Internet is inevitable for the development of the times. If you connect to the Internet, you can quickly get in touch with other places." Zhang Dong said: "If we want to contact the capital now, we have to make long-distance calls, write letters, and even generate electricity. We are already lagging behind! As long as our computer system is connected to the Internet, our communication will be faster and faster!"

the Internet?

  Qin Tao looked at Zhang Dong, how could this person understand the Internet?

  In later generations, life without the Internet is intolerable. The Internet has long replaced television and has become a channel for many people to understand information, and even everything can be connected to the Internet.

  However, in the nineties, the Internet was only for a small group of people.

   After all, the wages of ordinary people are still very low, but the price of computers is high. Wanting to buy a computer is simply a dream.

   There is no computer as a terminal. In this era, the Internet is still in its infancy. Only some universities and scientific research places will use it, and even private Internet cafes have not yet developed in large numbers.

   Not many people understand the Internet.

  The Internet has pros and cons.

  With it, the work will be more convenient and quicker. If you need to check what information you need from the Internet, you need to send documents, etc., you can solve it with an email, and it will arrive almost in seconds, which is more convenient and faster than letters that take days.

   So, someone likes it.

  However, with the Internet, it will be easier to leak secrets. Just shake the mouse and hit the keyboard a few times, and the secrets will be leaked. Sometimes, the information will be stolen by hackers even if no one operates it.

  There are indeed a large number of computers in their current design office, which are also connected to form a local area network, but they are only running internally and are physically isolated from the outside.

Zhang Dong despises this very much. They need some information to be sent from the capital. Therefore, they hope that this place can be connected to the Internet. With the ability of Mingzhou Group, it is very easy to open a business by connecting a cat on the telephone line. .

  However, Wang Hua, who is in charge of network operations, objected right away. This cannot be done, as it will lead to leaks!

  So, the two quarreled.

   "Boss Qin, I'm causing you trouble." Elder Zhao said with some embarrassment.

   "Old Zhao, I'm not wrong." Zhang Dong was still angry.

  Qin Tao rolled his eyes: "Others work as usual, Zhang Dong, Wang Hua, you two come with me, let's go to the conference room."

   At night, Qin Tao planned to go to bed after watching Zhao Zhong's show. Who would have thought that he would have to deal with this kind of thing, but let's deal with it. Qin Tao already had a new idea in his mind.

   When they came to the meeting room, both of them were still full of anger.

   "Zhengyang, pour two glasses of water over here. These two have been arguing for a long time, and their mouths are dry. Let them drink water to moisten their throats."

  Xu Zhengyang knew that this was President Qin's plan to make love with each other, but there was really nothing to say about this kind of thing, that is, make love with each other.

   "Mr. Qin, please give us a review." Wang Hua and Qin Tao are a little more familiar, knowing that Qin Tao likes to be straightforward when it comes to internal affairs, so he directly asked.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Drink water first, drink water, after drinking water, let's talk."

  So, Wang Hua could only take a few sips, and Zhang Dong on the other side was even more arrogant: "I'm not thirsty, Mr. Qin, just tell us who is right today."

   "Zhang Dong, I want to ask you, we are connected to the Internet, what do you plan to use to communicate?"

   "Now, the fastest way is to use email."

   "I don't think the email method is the fastest." Qin Tao said: "You have to keep an eye on the mailbox all the time, open it as soon as you have an email, and reply to the email after reading it. You have to expect the other party to reply to the email in time."

   "If that's the case, then it's a BBS. For this kind of thing, you can directly leave a message below. It should be more appropriate. Someone from Tsinghua University is planning to do it. It seems that the plan is called Shuimu Tsinghua University."

  Zhang Dong is very familiar with these.

  In April of this year, the NCFC of the National Computer and Networking Facility and the CSTNet of the National Science Foundation of the United States established a connection. It can be regarded as being connected to foreign countries. In 1995, Tsinghua University in China launched a BBS of Shuimu Tsinghua University. Although it was originally an internal forum of the university, it attracted more people to log on to the website and express their opinions. Therefore, Gradually became the largest BBS website in China.

  The first batch of netizens had a lot of memories on this website.

"This thing is one-to-many. If one person posts, everyone can read it. The level of confidentiality is not high enough." Qin Tao looked at Zhang Dong: "Do you think that if there is a software that can chat face to face, wouldn't it be more convenient?" quick?"

  Software, face-to-face chat?

   Zhang Dong's thinking was inspired, he began to fall into deep thought, then picked up the paper and pen next to him, and started to draw.

   "It can be made into a window, where content is entered below and content is displayed above, so that you can chat in real time."

   Sure enough, those who engage in technology have this advantage, and they can understand it at one point. Qin Tao looked at the structure he drew with satisfaction, which is roughly the same as that of later generations.

   "The file transfer function has to be added." Wang Hua also opened his mouth to join the discussion.

   "That's right, we not only want to chat, but also transfer files! It is peer-to-peer, which is different from BBS." Zhang Dong looked at Qin Tao excitedly: "Mr. Qin, your idea is great!"

"Well, since you like it, let's give it a name, so that the software, just like face-to-face chat, is simply called ICQ, a homonym for Iseekyou. How about it? However, only this window is not enough, we have to make a drop-down list frame, after all, a person will have many friends, and each friend will have a dialog box when they click on it, so that they can communicate separately."

   "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right!"

   Zhang Dong became excited again.

   "Although it is peer-to-peer, it must have a server for dedicated management. This server is responsible for registering users! In my opinion, just use numbers directly." Wang Hua also added.

  At this time, the two of them were not as tense as they had been arguing just now, and they were both excited about this brand new project.

   This is the advantage of the traveler.

  Qin Tao can come up with any idea, which can have the characteristics of cross-age.

  This ICQ appeared in 1996. At that time, three young Israelis, Vesger, Wadi and Goldfinger, who had just finished their military service, developed a software that could communicate quickly and directly on the Internet. It was called ICQ, homonymous for Iseekyou.

  As for what QQ is, it is developed on the basis of others. Of course, the business operation is more successful.

   It is less than 1995, and Qin Tao's project is definitely at the leading level in the world.

   "You two are very interested in this project?" Qin Tao asked.

   "Yeah." Both of them nodded.

   "So, how about we set up a special company, develop it, and apply it to the world?"

   Used all over the world!

   Both of them are in good spirits, and one of their software can be used all over the world, what a spectacular scene it will be!

   "This company needs to be established in the United States." Qin Tao said: "This will facilitate the use of the superior network conditions in the United States. At the same time, you must strive to successfully go public within one year."

  The two were taken aback again.

  Originally, they only planned to solve a small problem of communication. Qin Tao said that they were going to expand to the whole world. They were also very excited, but they didn't plan to start a company in the United States!

   "Boss Qin, isn't the expense too high?"

   "No, of course it's not big. This is just a small project. In the future, our company will do some other projects and become the most profitable company in this industry. Next, let's talk about the issue of shares."

Qin Tao looked at the two people in front of him: "You are the veterans of this new company, so each of you enjoys 2% of the company's shares, and the remaining 96% of the shares are all owned by the group. How? Want to It costs money to promote the market and establish a foothold in the United States. The group will fully support it, and you just need to develop technology. Moreover, the group will not interfere with the general affairs of the company, but only enjoys decision-making power on key issues. "

  The two nodded: "Boss Qin, without the group's funds, we can't do anything. Two percent of the shares is a lot, so what should our company be called?"

   "The software we developed is directly aimed at the win95 platform. Its icon is made into a penguin logo. This company is directly called Goose Factory, how about it?"

At present, the main system of the computer is still ODS, a black screen interface. However, the Windows operating system has also developed. After starting DOS, many people will enter the windows command to switch to the windows3.1 system. This graphical interface looks more comfortable.

  By 1995, the window system will develop on a large scale. At that time, the ICQ will be developed, and it will be directly installed on the win95 platform, and the icon will also be made into a cute penguin shape.

   Goose factory?

   Everyone is a little embarrassed, Mr. Qin's name is really ugly. Far less creative than the name of the software!

  However, since Boss Qin said it, they have to follow suit. Call it whatever you like.

"In order to avoid being affected by the group, the group's holding will be carried out secretly and controlled by other companies. On the surface, Goose Factory has nothing to do with our Mingzhou Group. You are an independent high-tech Internet company." Qin Tao continued Arrangements were made.

   If you tease your opponent, they will definitely be dissatisfied. What if you come to cause trouble?

  So, be a low-key person.

   In this way, the discussion lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening. When these people left, Qin Tao stretched and yawned.

   "Go, go back to sleep."

   "Boss Qin, you are really capable. If you fool around like this, the two of them will forget the original quarrel."

   "I'm not fooling around, our group is really planning to spend money, and I will help them with ideas in the future."

  Xu Zhengyang opened his eyes wide: "Boss Qin, we, a shipbuilding group, secretly opened a high-tech listed company? This is completely different from your previous thinking!"

The Mingzhou Group has such a big stall, and it has no plans to go public. It is an internal employee stock, and it is afraid of being controlled by others. Now, Qin Tao has created this goose factory on a whim, not only to open it to the United States. , but also to be listed, and still mysterious, these are not in line with Qin Tao's style!

Qin Tao smiled: "This company is used to make money. Taking advantage of the advent of the Internet era to make a fortune, if it is operated properly, then our company will be sold when the bubble burst in 1998 , It is estimated that it can be sold for billions, or even tens of billions, and by then, we will have the money to develop chips."

  Billions, tens of billions?

  Xu Zhengyang's face showed obvious disbelief.

   Definitely don’t believe it!

They are engaged in shipbuilding, which can be seen and touched, and there are a lot of equipment in it. What Qin Tao said just now is just code, a virtual thing, and the development tools are just a few computers. This thing can still be so valuable ?

   "Don't believe it? Let's wait and see, just a few years."

   "Mr. Qin, you said you would sell it in 1998? Why this time?"

   "Zhengyang, you must speak carefully. I just said it. Wait until 1998, before the bubble comes. By the way, do you understand the meaning of the bubble?"

  Xu Zhengyang nodded: "It's like the real estate bubble in an island country."

"In the next few years, the Internet will become popular rapidly, and everyone who has anything to do with the Internet will be promoted quickly. If you have an idea, you can register a lot of domain names, or find a third-rate technician to build a small website. It can be sold for a lot of money, pay attention, it must be sold in 1998, but it’s not too late, if you don’t want to, wait until the millennium, maybe you should cry.”

  Although the real Internet bubble appeared in the millennium, we must plan ahead and wait until the end. What if there is a sudden click? Qin Tao didn't know whether his arrival would bring about some changes in the world.

Therefore, 1998 is enough. After all, many large Internet mergers and acquisitions were carried out in 1998. For example, on November 24, 1998, America Online acquired Netscape for US$4.2 billion. This Netscape is a A very good browser, which competed fiercely with Microsoft's browser. By the end of 1998, America Online spent US$407 million to acquire ICQ. At this time, the number of ICQ users has exceeded 10 million.

  So, the Goose Factory launched by Qin Tao was enough to be sold in 1998.

   Right now, it’s just a chat software. In the future, it can also be used as a browser, a search engine, etc. It should be no problem if it sells for tens of billions of dollars.

Although the shares he gave to Zhang Dong and Wang Hua were only 2%, if they were sold for tens of billions of dollars, both of them would be worth 200 million. Qin Tao didn't care what he continued to do or how to start a business. up.

   With this tens of billions, all of which are in chips, Qin Tao doesn't believe that the development of chips can't be pushed forward.

   This is pure extra money, which is much better than those empty-handed white wolf bag companies. However, in order to avoid negative impact on Mingzhou Group, he will still do some tricks to hide it.

   Xu Zhengyang doesn't seem to be interested in making money, so what Qin Tao said is just a casual chat.

  However, Qin Tao's actions caused a thousand waves with one stone.

   On the second day, Qin Tao stayed in the design office to watch the people working on the design, so Xu Zhengyang came to him with a complicated expression on his face.

   "President Qin, someone came to see you. He said he was Zhang Dong's friend."

  If it was someone else, then Xu Zhengyang would have sent him away directly, and there was no need to report to Qin Tao at all, because Xu Zhengyang came to report because he was Zhang Dong's friend.

   "Well, what's the matter? Is he okay?"

   "Yes, he said he has a project and wants to ask you to invest in it."

invest? Came to ask for money? Qin Tao felt a little strange. This was the first time. In the past, he was the one who saw something and directly invested in it. No one had ever asked Qin Tao to invest in a project.

"what is his name?"

   "Ma Teng."

   Ma Teng?

  Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, let's meet him then."

  Qin Tao became interested. When he came to the reception room, Ma Teng immediately stood up respectfully: "Mr. Qin, I take the liberty to come here. It is really a great honor to be received by you."

   "Ma Teng, what do you think?" Qin Tao won't let these red tapes waste time, and just get straight to the point.

   "Mr. Qin, I have an idea. As long as I can invest in research and development, I will definitely make a lot of money."

   Speaking of making money, Ma Teng's eyes sparkled.

   "Well, say."

  “Now, pagers are becoming more and more common, but just displaying Chinese characters is not enough. My idea is to join the Internet so that pagers can receive calls from the Internet, such as receiving Internet news and e-mails.”

   "This idea is quite creative!" Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is to use the pager as a network terminal!

  Now, the big brother is still high above the others. Some people can’t afford it but have needs, so they can only buy a pager to receive information at any time.

At the beginning, they could only receive numbers and English. In 1991, Chinese display pagers were developed. Now, if you go to a big city, many people have pagers on their waists. Of course, some of them are pretending to be aggressive. It's just a digital watch.

  The idea of ​​using Chinese display pager as an information terminal is indeed a genius.
