Chapter 979 Is This Very Profitable?

Just before Yin Jun had time to drink a glass of milk and eat two pieces of bread, the waiter from the hotel over there came in and told him that Mr. Tim Berners-Lee had already called and agreed to meet him on the phone. The meeting was only half an hour later, and the meeting only lasted an hour.

Because Tim Berners-Lee has other work to do in the afternoon, time is tight.

In fact, before coming to Geneva, a few months ago, Yin Jun personally wrote several letters and sent them to Tim Berners-Lee, discussing issues related to network connections and hypertext protocols.

When it came to the part that interested him, Tim Berners-Lee also replied twice, so the two of them had already gotten to know each other.

This time Yin Jun rushed over at the end of September. It was Tim Berners-Lee who said that he would have some free time in the near future. If he had any better ideas and thoughts, they could have a good exchange and discussion.

So Yin Jun hurried over, and before getting on the plane, he called Tim Berners-Lee in advance and told him the hotel where he was staying. He hoped that he could call when he was free. , and then the two met and talked.

I didn't expect Tim Berners-Lee to be so prompt, and they agreed on a meeting time early in the morning.

In fact, Tim Berners-Lee did not expect that Yin Jun would come so quickly, which made him a little surprised and confused.

But now that the words were out, he didn't say he regretted it, so he readily agreed to meet to see what Yin Jun wanted to say.

Naturally, Yin Jun couldn't waste this opportunity, so he stopped eating, grabbed two pieces of bread and walked outside.

At this time, the young man had already forgotten the French Rose that he liked very much.

A hundred Sophie Marceaus are not as important as the emergence of the World Wide Web!

For the first time, Yin Jun was a little nervous when he saw this idol who would be admired by thousands of people for generations to come.

Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz provided by the hotel and heading to the CERN headquarters, Yin Jun accidentally touched the room card in his trouser pocket.

Oh, I thought there was something different, but it turned out to be this room card!

Room cards have become a very popular method of unlocking hotel doors 40 years later. However, before 2000, Yin Jun remembered that most hotels in China still used keys to open doors.

Unexpectedly, in 1981, the Hilton Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, began to use key cards.

It seems that when I went to the United States last year, there was no door card available there.

As expected of being the richest country in the world, all technologies must be equipped with the most advanced ones.

In fact, induction door cards use radar radio frequency identification technology. They were born in the 1940s. In the 1970s, they gradually entered the stage of large-scale experimental verification. In the 1980s, they gradually began to enter the field of commercial application.

High technology can indeed bring so much convenience to human life. In the next 40 years, especially after 2000, various new technologies will spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Only then will people feel that living in this world , living in this era is really a happy and happy thing.

Of course, the WWW is mentioned here again. It is precisely because of its emergence that it has such a colorful future.

Otherwise, without JD.com, without Taobao, without WeChat, without Weibo, the joy of life of Chinese people will be reduced by more than half.

Thinking that he was shouldering the task of human history, Yin Jun suddenly felt that this negotiation must have a result.

The WWW World Wide Web appeared at the end of 1990. If I could advance this time by three to five years, or even earlier, then my contribution to mankind would be considered great, right?

Just thinking about it randomly, the car has arrived at the headquarters of the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

As a research and development institution jointly funded by more than a dozen countries, the security measures here are very strict.

After receiving the invitation, Yin Jun went through three security checks before he could enter the office experiment area inside.

As for the four bodyguards...

sorry.

I can only wait in the cafe outside the headquarters.

Yin Jun has no interest in the high-precision research equipment at CERN, including the electron-positron collider. It is said that one use consumes as much electricity as a city for a month, costing at least millions of dollars. big guy.

This is the forefront of the development of human physics and technology, and it is also a place worthy of respect. But after all, Yin Jun's expertise and expertise are not here, so naturally there is no need to know more.

Work hard in what you are best at and bring more benefits to everyone. This is what Yin Jun should do.

Speaking of which, when I have money in the future, I can still give more support to various scientific research institutions in the mainland, those research institutions that spend money like water.

Of course, it can't be some bullshit scientific research project in the university.

The country spends a lot of money every year, but at least two-thirds of it goes into their own pockets. Those so-called experts and professors who have never developed anything should be thrown into the street.

To be honest, compared with those laboratories in Europe and the United States, as well as experts and professors in universities, their level is still at the end of the Qing Dynasty, both in terms of character and ability.

Under the guidance of the staff, Yin Jun entered a coffee shop inside the headquarters.

The headquarters of the European Organization for Nuclear Research is very large, basically like a small town, except that the buildings everywhere are various research laboratories.

The leisurely lifestyle of Europeans has also been brought here. Cafes and Western restaurants are everywhere, and they are all free, allowing employees, doctors and professors to take a rest when they are tired.

This is a method that Yin Jun likes very much.

Because countless facts have proven that just by working hard, you may not be able to achieve any good results. Only by giving them more respect and allowing them to work with all their energy in the limited working time, this will This is the best way to achieve work efficiency.

So Yin Jun has this arrangement in his own Qilin culture.

Although the treatment at Qilin Printing Factory and Qilin Toy Factory is not so good, in addition to the high salary and adequate food and clothing, they are much better than other factories.

After only sitting for a few minutes, Yin Jun saw a young man with a typical British appearance walking in from outside.

Unlike his bald head more than 20 years later, Tim Berners-Lee now has blond hair and is very handsome.

There were not many people in the coffee house. Yin Jun stood up and raised his hand, and Tim Berners-Lee nodded and walked over.

"Mr. Yin Jun?" he asked.

"Yes, Mr. Li, I'm Yin Jun. It's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you." Yin Jun stretched out his hand.

Tim Berners-Lee smiled, shook hands with him and sat down, "I didn't expect you to be so young. If I hadn't known your identity, I would have thought you were talking to at least one of your peers."

"Usually, thinking too much is not a good thing." Yin Jun shrugged, "What are you drinking, Mr. Li?"

"I'll just drink black coffee. It's a rare time for you to come, so I'll treat you this time." Tim Berners-Lee said. After ordering coffee, he turned back and said: "Yin Jun, you call me Tim." Just. Or call me Tim Lee."

"Okay, Tim." Yin Jun nodded.

After a while, black coffee was served. Tim did not add any milk or sugar, and tasted the bitter taste. "The work I do here is very interesting, and it is somewhat similar to the network connection I talked about with you. But this kind of The storage of large-scale data is very difficult at this stage. And our various data transmissions require very troublesome procedures to complete.

I think the kind of future development you mentioned is very promising. People can sit next to the computer and connect to each other through the Internet. You can see the information he has given, and he can see the photos you have given. This is the possibility of integrating the hypertext protocol into the network that I have been exploring. If this problem can really be solved, then I believe this future will be realized soon. "

Yin Jun nodded while listening: "This may require some specific channels, or what address to specify. You are an expert in this area. But if you are working like this now and doing research and development at the same time, I'm afraid it will take too much time. It’s very long. I came here this time to ask you if you want us to cooperate?”

Naturally, the young man would not tell him that if you invent a browser so that all nodes have their own URLs, then by entering these URLs in the browser, you can implement Vioxx connection.

In fact, this browser will be created by Tim 9 years later. It is through this browser that the WWW World Wide Web can truly be used by thousands of people.

Hearing Yin Jun's proposal, Tim also nodded, and then asked: "Let's cooperate? Do you want to invest in my research, and then we share the profits? How much profit do you think there will be? How much can we earn?"

He asked in an understatement, as if he was confirming the share, and he seemed to be very greedy for money.

But if Yin Jun really followed these words, then they would definitely be passers-by after drinking this cup of coffee.

Fortunately, Yin Jun never had such thoughts and knew Tim's wish.

From this, I also understood that Tim was just testing himself.

Working on the World Wide Web is actually not a huge project. He should be able to handle it by himself and a few assistants.

Therefore, Tim does not need any financial support at all. At most, he only needs to pay some labor.

Tim would definitely not want this relatively simple job to be exploited for business purposes.

He just felt that Yin Jun and he had good common ideas on the Internet, so he agreed to meet and talk with Yin Jun.

If Yin Jun is such a greedy businessman, and what he said before is just to relax his vigilance and let him serve capital, then how can Tim still regard him as a friend?
