Chapter 829 Don't Worry WWW Standard Free

...

In fact, the two concepts of html and browser are not completely unfamiliar, at least for those developers who use Zheru and Fangyuan products as their main working platforms.

In Zheru's desktop-oriented GUI operating system studios1988 and the server-oriented high-end operating system Vientiane, both provide a test version of Zheru's web browser polestar in the form of a function expansion package; the latter is more It is a new server software called zerone_;—Zheru Internet Service, zis, which provides html services.

Obviously, with Tang Huan's return to Silicon Valley, these things that were originally only for limited discussion by the professional technical community will be pushed to the public in a wider range, and people who have a little taste of them will naturally be hooked up, and It is still spread to call friends and friends.

Although the theme of this Zheru Spring Developers Conference is clear, the specific organization process still reveals a kind of mystery. The San Francisco Municipal Auditorium, which can accommodate 7,000 people, was booked a week in advance. Curious reporters can only look at the flying flags from a distance. Once they get close and try to find out, they will be politely persuaded by the staff.

Fortunately, after Tang Huan returned to San Francisco, he quickly held a media briefing to exchange his "heartfelt" with the American media who had been away for almost a year.

Of course, the invited reporters were all friendly people who would not take this opportunity to attack the richest man with malice.

At the beginning, everyone just said hello and said something casually, "Tang, after you came back from the North Pole, you have been recuperating for several months because of your leg injury. Now you should return to your post and resume your previous working status, right?"

Unexpectedly, such a simple greeting would lead to a rather intriguing and heavyweight news.

Tang Huan replied very seriously: "Judging from the current situation, the management committee is operating perfectly. I don't think I need to interrupt this great situation, at least for Fangyuan Computer Company."

The alert reporter immediately followed this topic to the bottom of the question, "Don, is your self-imposed exile away from the center of power due to pressure from investors? Because as far as we know, with China being sanctioned, where are you? All the projects, such as the launch of artificial satellites, have been put on hold, and I believe the loss is not small, and as a public company, Fangyuan Computer, its board of directors has every reason to take necessary measures to eliminate the negative impact you have produced."

Tang Huan immediately yelled, "Fangyuan Computer Company is my brainchild. Everything I do is for its own good, just like treating my own children. I think this kind of beautiful feelings should not Someone will doubt it."

"At present, the management committee is running Fangyuan Computer in an orderly manner. Since I can relax because of this, why do I have to take back the power in a cheap way? Don't you feel tired?"

"I would also like to tell you something from my heart. I am a person who likes career challenges, and I have discovered a promising field, and I plan to invest in it and start a business from scratch."

The richest man is not just talking casually. On the day of the media briefing, Fangyuan Computer Company issued a personnel change announcement, that is, CEO and President John Chambers will take over as the chairman of the board of Fangyuan Computer Company.

As a result, Tang Huan only has the post of chairman of the board of directors of Philosophy and Confucianism—the chairman of the board of Xiangjiang Qinhe,

As early as the "Black Monday" in 1987, he "take the blame and resign"; now Fangyuan Computer Company has been handed over to the management committee to take care of it, the richest man really has a bit of a retirement rhythm.

Since then, various media reports have also revolved around this point.

Admirers said: The richest man retired early and enjoyed his life.

Curious people said: Can the richest man also start a business? I'm afraid it may not start from scratch, and the direction is not clear, perhaps, it has something to do with the theme of the unprecedentedly grand Philosopher Developers Conference.

Deeper interpretations are also indispensable. For example, even though he is as powerful as the richest man, Tang Huan has to bow to the pressure of reality. Otherwise, the Fangyuan computer standard, which has worked so hard to defeat IBM and dominate the market, is very likely to flourish and decline.

There is also an alarmist voice: Fangyuan Computer's high-level power struggle is looming, and Tang Huan left the company he created in a way that is far more decent than Jobs.

There is also a prospect of dross: Zheru, which has been established for more than ten years, has mastered countless key technologies and patents, and should now become a public company! Otherwise, why should customers like the federal government and the military continue to trust them? Moreover, according to reliable sources, worldwide, especially in Asia, Zheru has several subsidiaries that are highly independent but operate with no transparency at all, and are ruling the local market. The interrelationships here should also be explained. Otherwise, it is very likely that the most advanced technology and products of the United States have leaked out, and the public is still kept in the dark. If it is really for the sake of the company, maybe Tang Huan should continue to withdraw from the power structure of Zheru.

When Tang Huan was not in the United States, these rumors had already blown everywhere; now when he came back, a whirlpool of "inverting Tang" immediately formed.

In this regard, Tang Huan said in a private occasion: If necessary, he can step down from the position of chairman of Zheru's board of directors; as for whether Zheru should be listed and when, it needs to be discussed and decided collectively.

It seems unbelievable to many people that the richest man in Tang Dynasty has repeatedly compromised. You are only 35 years old, and you are so resigned and let others watch you?

But the persistent "black Tang" media like the "New York Post" will not feel wronged when they find out their conscience. Don't dare to make an excuse?"

It seems that in order to confirm this statement, the British media across the Atlantic also came to join in the fun, and the "Guardian" declared that: According to a very reliable source, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation is secretly investigating Tang Huan.

This report was immediately quoted by major mainstream media around the world, which finally had a reverse effect. Words such as "injustice" and "discrimination" began to flood. Internet community servers such as America Online even went down several times due to intense discussions. In reality, CNN made a program titled "Is McCarthyism Back?"

Like sparks splashing on a gasoline can, American society exploded.

First of all, Hollywood, which was deeply victimized by McCarthyism, could not sit still. Many celebrities criticized the unsubstantiated pressure against Tang Huan.

Secondly, everyone in the ethnic minority group is in danger-Nimma, Tang Huan has become the richest man, and he is still subject to such unspoken rules. What goals can we talk about?

Just when a big discussion broke out in American society, China suddenly said: "Mr. Tang has left the motherland and struggled outside for 15 years. If you are really unsatisfied, welcome back."

Seeing this scene, other countries watching the excitement suddenly came to their senses-I'm going, why did I forget that there is still this problem, China can still do business!

France jumped out impatiently first: "Don, France welcomes you! Don't forget, here is your French rose!"

The stronger West Germany immediately rushed forward: "Don, you are more welcome in Germany! Don't forget, here is your tennis queen!"

Britain, which has the most complicated relationship with Tang Huan, is also not to be outdone: "Tang, Great Britain welcomes you even more! Countless Chelsea fans support you without any impurities!"

Even the Soviet Union, which was also in civil turmoil, said embarrassedly: "Don, the Soviet Union welcomes you even more! Although our conditions here are a bit difficult, the people are friendly!"

Italy, which was also planning to win, opened its mouth, but after looking around at the competitors and weighing its own strength, it had to swallow the words in frustration.

In this way, the European powers finished expressing their positions one after another, while rb, whose stock market myth has been shattered, pretended to deliberately disrupt the formation, and finally summed up the solicitation: "rb not only has unparalleled material conditions, but also has extremely similar cultural The atmosphere. Tang came to our place, it is an excellent choice."

Seeing that Tang's richest man is so popular and his value is sought after by all countries, the United States, fearing that the chickens will be beaten, hastened to clarify: "We have never created political pressure on Tang without any basis. As for the federal investigation The bureau's investigation activities are business affairs, because President Bush intends to invite Tang to join the US International Trade Commission or the Economic Advisory Committee, so as to exert Tang's influence in the high-tech field to a greater extent. And this happened as early as the beginning of last year It starts working when the president takes office."

The statement made by the White House is just a usual tactic used by politicians to disassociate themselves from the relationship, and it is impossible to win the trust of those who have worried about harming others. In the end, there were more than 100,000 large-scale demonstrations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. , just spit out the bad breath.

...

The 1990 Spring Philosopher Developers Conference, which was originally scheduled to be held earlier but had to be postponed, finally opened amidst the uproar.

The 7,000 people present expressed their support for Tang Huan with a five-minute standing ovation.

Tang Huan's dress was simple - a white shirt, black trousers, and his obviously thin face became more angular.

When Zhuang Menghua, Meng Jing and other close people stood in the dark and watched, tears welled up in their eyes. They could all see clearly how much pressure Tang Huan was under.

Tang Huan waved his hands in greeting with a smile, and after the applause stopped, he slowly said: "Actually, this period of time is not long, but the dizzying changes make people feel like a dream. I just want to say, hide Enter the small building to become a unified, regardless of spring, summer and autumn and winter, let us wander in the ocean of technology to our heart's content."

There was another warm applause at the scene, and Tang Huan walked to a table with a computer, and continued: "During the holding of this Zheru Spring Developers Conference, some attempts have been made. For example, compared with previous , reducing the printing volume of materials.”

"Maybe some people will be dissatisfied because of this. It is too stingy to talk about it. How much money can you save by using the guise of environmental protection to reduce costs?"

Amidst the sound of good-natured laughter, Tang Huan continued to explain: "Environmental protection still requires seeking truth from facts. Zheru would not be so harsh in promoting paperless office, and provided more thoughtful and comprehensive printing and copying services. Presumably everyone Feel."

"The reason for this small change is mainly to urge everyone to use the html document on stage more. Compared with the previous information organization method, a hyperlink in html can take you anywhere."

This year's Zheru Spring Developers Conference, why is the preparation process somewhat mysterious? The main reason is that Zheru set up one in the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium; the backend uses the Fangyuan server AA operating system Internet service system zisAA database ebase to build an html content source; To present the data transmitted by the http protocol.

This application form is named world_wide_web—World Wide Web, ie "www" or "web". Its hyperlinked information organization structure brings a bright feeling to network applications - even a person who knows nothing about computers and networks can enjoy the sharing benefits brought by the network as long as he moves the mouse.

This Zheru Spring Developers Conference is held earlier and then slightly delayed, which provides more buffers invisibly, allowing all parties to digest the creation of www; and the more you taste, the more you can appreciate the extraordinary Ordinary; it is estimated that what Tang Huan said about starting a business again has something to do with this, and this is well deserved.

Silicon Valley has always been a place where geniuses gather, and the business opportunities in www can't escape their keen sense of smell, which makes this year's Zheru Spring Developers Conference more and more attention. It's a pity that the reception capacity of the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium is limited, and many people who are moved by the news can only stand outside and sigh.

Tang Huan just opened a window on the computer, and a staff member trotted over to deliver a note from the audience.

After reading it, Tang Huan said with a smile: "It turns out that there are still people who worry that the www standard will be charged the same as the previous personal computer standard. Then let me solemnly clarify here. Don't worry, the www standard is free. You can Free to use. But..."

Pointing to the computer in front of him, Tang Huan said with a smile: "The Zheru Internet service software zis still charges fees, and the browser polestar should do the same. Other companies can even develop similar products. This profit model will be discussed in the future. Now we move on to technology."
