Chapter 980 Let’s Cooperate!

Facing Tim's question, the young man coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "Tim, you misunderstood me... Hey, I don't know how to say it... In fact, I want you to do this The network that connects the world is not here to make money. What I mean is that after we create it, we will push it to the whole world... This is a future life brought about by high technology that people all over the world should enjoy. , instead of tying it under various paid patent restrictions..."

Tim was really surprised now. He looked at Yin Jun, "Why?"

"You know, I'm a businessman, and I'm also a person who likes movies." Yin Jun said: "Many movies require special effects. The current special effects simply can't meet my needs. I hope more people can Invested in this special effects production, Duoduo developed various application software. But how can they develop software?

There must be an environment for them to develop! Computers are one aspect, but on the other hand, they must also be able to continuously learn and accept new knowledge. If the Internet is open and all experts in the world have access to the Internet, then the problems of these developers can be solved, and they can gather together freely to discuss and develop.

In this way, wouldn't it be faster and better than staying at home alone in the office to create? One, two, eight, ten, one hundred, three hundred... When these tens of thousands of programs and software appear, many special effects production experts will be trained at the same time, which can be used by me! "

Speaking of this, Yin Jun paused, "You also know that most young people who love computers and have just come into contact with computers have no money. If the prerequisite for connecting to the world is to let them pay a large amount of fees , then we will block their eagerness to learn. Isn’t this a pity and waste?

Oh, Tim, don't worry! I will be responsible for all investments, and although I will announce that the results are free, your salary and bonuses will never be less. I will use various methods to compensate you for not getting a share of these patents. As long as you agree to my request, you will definitely become a multi-millionaire! "

In 2000, billionaires with millions of dollars were valuable all over the world.

Not to mention that this was nearly 20 years ago in 1981.

Tim Berners-Lee was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked Yin Jun: "Are you serious?"

"of course……"

Yin Jun nodded and took out a stack of documents from his bag, "This is a contract and plan promotion document I wrote in advance. You can take a look... Tim, don't worry, except for money. In addition, you are also the first inventor of this connected network. You will definitely have a lot of fame and fortune! Please join me and do something truly meaningful for mankind!"

Tim didn't answer. He carefully read the plan written by Yin Jun.

Yin Jun did write down the process of how to apply and promote it after development, and he wrote it in very detail.

It also includes the research and development expenses he gave Tim, and various compensations he later gave him for giving up patent fees, etc.

"According to this plan, not only will you not make a penny from this, but you will lose at least tens of millions of dollars... This does not include the various compensations you gave me." Tim said, "Even you I can’t even get a reputation, and the only one people can remember is me. ...Are you really willing to do this? Are you really willing to achieve such a result for everyone?"

Yin Jun smiled and said, "You are a scientist, and I am a scholar, both of whom have a sense of stupidity. What's more, I think this is not a bad thing. Not only can I get the technology and talents I want, but I can also make some contributions. I can also be regarded as famous and rich. Get both!"

"Too!"

Tim also laughed, and then he took out a pen from his arms and signed his name on the contract.

Yin Jun: "..."

Can you give me a little more time to perform? Why were you persuaded by me so quickly?

Seeing Yin Jun stunned, Tim laughed, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Yin Jun, you are a very interesting person. Although you have such and such plans, you are magnanimous and have very practical desires." If we do something, let’s cooperate!”

Yin Jun said in "surprise": "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Tim said, "My work here has ended. I was originally considering whether to continue studying here. But with your invitation, I feel that there is no point in staying here. Anyway, it’s better to do what I like to do!”

"Okay, great!" Yin Jun was really happy this time.

If Tim can devote himself to the research and development of the World Wide Web from now on, and provide him with some assistants and expert elites, I am afraid that in five years at most, the World Wide Web will appear in the world!

Good guy!

The World Wide Web, which appeared in 1986, was put into operation five years earlier than in 1991 in its previous life. How many things could Yin Jun do in these five years?

Besides, if I talk to Tim more in the future and "accidentally" inspire his ideas, isn't this something that can be done in advance?

Maybe, in three years, we can initially see the browser webpage starting with WWW? !

"It's just that I still need some time to hand over the work and deal with the aftermath." Tim continued, "When the things here are finished, at the beginning of next year, I will go to work in Xiangjiang. Is there no problem?"

"Xiangjiang?"

Yin Jun was startled and immediately nodded, "Okay! But you are leaving your hometown like this..."

"Hey, how can a man only do his career in one place?" Tim smiled, "I have been to Xiangjiang. It is a very nice place, similar to our medium-sized towns in the UK. Maybe I can still work there. You will be more adaptable!”

"good!"

Yin Jun also made a prompt decision, "Come on! If you can find like-minded friends, you can also invite them over. You are the person in charge of the laboratory. You can just do anything related to research and development."

Tim nodded slightly.

Yin Jun's attitude was as refreshing as before.

To cooperate with such people is to truly feel happy!

He didn't make such a decision impulsively.

Yin Jun really knew what he wanted to do.

A few years ago, Tim had published several papers, explaining that the Internet network and the HTML hypertext protocol could be connected together to form a great communication network.

But no one believed him, thinking this was simply fantastic.

When computers and computers are networked together, it is enough to just do calculations and work. Why bother to do any hypertext protocols?

Unexpectedly, a few years later, Yin Jun saw these papers and wrote to him to express his support and understanding.

The two exchanged some opinions, and Tim felt that Yin Jun's ideas were very similar to his own, so he agreed to meet and talk with Yin Jun.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun actually had this idea.

Putting it into perspective, Yin Jun's idea is to cast a wide net to obtain talents. In fact, he also does it for himself, including not requiring any patent fees, free openness, etc., all out of his own interests.

But his behavior of benefiting others and himself has actually helped others and helped too many computer enthusiasts. This is why Tim was willing to agree to him. ——Tim is not a person from the future. He still thinks that computers and the Internet can only be used by computer enthusiasts and professionals, not ordinary people.

Of course, even if he knew that one day in the future, all ordinary people would be using the WWW World Wide Web, Tim would not charge a fee.

Tim comes from a family of top academics, both of his parents are professors, so he is not short of money and has little interest in money.

For him, it is enough to create something that everyone can enjoy and receive everyone's praise and gratitude.

It's rare to have such a super rich man support him now. The initial budget was 5 million US dollars for him, and the contract also stipulated that additional funds could be added at any time, and there was no limit on when he could develop it... With such good conditions, he would be a fool not to agree. .

As for whether to work in Hong Kong or stay in Europe or the United Kingdom, it has no impact on Tim.

As a computer expert, he has long been accustomed to working indoors and has long been a homebody.

As long as the best service conditions and various supports are provided, going to Xiangjiang is better than going to Europe. After all, it is easier to communicate this way.

"I will make a list of the instruments I need when I go back today, and you can purchase them now." Tim said thoughtfully, "These are precision instruments, and it will take a lot of time to ship them to Xiangjiang. It is better to place your order early."

"Can."

Yin Jun said.

He did not say, I will hand over all purchasing power to you, you can just do it yourself without reporting.

This is a big taboo when it comes to doing business.

The controller of a company, no matter how much he trusts the people below him, must take good control of finances and personnel so as to ensure his control power.

Le Yiling is just like Yin Jun's sister, but she is smart enough to hire accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers to check the Kirin Group's accounts every year, and all appointments at the company's branch general manager level are Yin Jun came to announce it, which was another way to consolidate Yin Jun's authority.

"Mr. Chairman, I can tell you solemnly that you will not regret your cooperation with me today." Perhaps because he was finally going to carry out the research he was interested in, Tim seemed a little excited. He said to Yin Jun: " The success of our research cannot be said to have changed the world, but it has definitely opened a window for computer enthusiasts in the world to see a broader sky. Everything we do will be sincerely appreciated! "

"I think so too!" Yin Jun raised the milk tea cup in his hand, "Tim, I wish us early success!"

"cheers!"

Tim smiled and clinked glasses with Yin Jun.
