the next day
It was still Luo Qianjin who drove the car and took everyone to Silicon Valley.
Red Hat leased the office space of a logistics company on Sandhill Road (Fengsha Road), with a total area of ??more than 100 mu. Red Hat leased the outermost three-story building with an annual rent of 60,000 US dollars.
Silicon Valley (Silicon Valley), located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area in the northern part of California, is another name for the Santa Clara Valley (Santaclara Valley), where high-tech businesses gather.
Fengsha Road is next to Stanford University, and it takes only about ten minutes to walk there. It is not far from the University of California, Berkeley, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive.
A dozen or so employees of Red Hat stood downstairs to greet the crowd. After applauding a few times, they all dispersed and went about their own affairs.
Linus, a Finnish genius, waved his hand happily, revealing the conspicuous Rolex Ghost King watch on his wrist. It seems that this product has been showing off to his colleagues.
Wang Yaocheng greeted him happily, and the two seemed to be very close.
The chairman's office is arranged on the third floor, adjacent to the office of the deputy general manager Huo Jiaguang.
When going upstairs
Wang Yaocheng asked Luo Qianjin while walking;
"The place here is very big and the location is very good. The key is that it is very close to Stanford University. Have you consulted with the owner about the price? Are they willing to sell the property rights?"
"The asking price here is 6.5 million U.S. dollars. I think these people are crazy. It's just some warehouses and a few buildings. They may think we are the winners for such a high price.
According to the surrounding land prices, 3-3.6 million US dollars is almost the same. The housing prices in the United States are not high, especially the prices of such large warehouses are not high.
Therefore, we are investigating in other places, and currently there are several locations that are not bad, and the asking price is not high. "
Luo Qianjin pushed open the door of the office, and the interior decoration was minimalist, looking very clean and elegant, with a post-modern style.
Wang Yaocheng nodded in satisfaction;
"Mr. Huo, take someone to talk to the owner here. I think they should quote a reasonable price. In this case, I think they are involved in racial discrimination."
After thinking for a while, Wang Yaocheng turned his head and asked; "Go forward, who is the owner here?"
"Chairman, the boss here is Indochina San."
"Damn! Then you don't need to mention racism, you can figure it out."
Wang Yaocheng couldn't help but swear, and walked into the office resentfully.
afternoon
Office of the Chairman.
Wang Yaocheng is exchanging his ideas with Linus, the technical director, and is preparing to develop a Netscape browser software similar to the one that appeared in history.
"
I require this browser software to be smoothly compatible with mainstream operating systems, whether it is? microsoft,? windows or linux operating systems can run smoothly.
We can call this software product netscapenavigator, which is the Netscape Navigator.
The technical requirements are that the software runs stably, supports good web page standards, minimizes various minor problems and downtime loopholes, and greatly facilitates personal computer users to surf the Internet.
For example, there is a digital credibility evaluation for each website, including whether the website is real, not a fake trap to deceive people.
There is also whether the website will secretly load spyware or other malicious programs on the user's computer.
If it is a dangerous website, Netscape Navigator will open a warning window, and users can still enter this dangerous website, but they have to bear the risk
"
Facing his field of expertise, the Finnish genius Linus seriously considered and said;
"This is a genius idea, and it is not difficult to achieve this goal, if I am alone"
Wang Yaocheng interrupted him; "No, no, no, you are the project leader. You are responsible for planning the technical implementation direction of the project, writing key source code files, and handing over other detailed work to the company's employees. That's what they do."
"That¡¡
It will take me about seven to eight days to complete the entire envisioned structure.
If people in the company work together, we can launch a preliminary trial version file in about three months. After finding bugs and loopholes, it will look almost the same in a month or two. "
"Next week I will give you 20 more manpower, you can let them? Do anything. "
"Then I only need one month to complete all the work."
"OK, that's it."
?With the Finnish genius Linus controlling the technology, Wang Yaocheng feels that happiness is indispensable, and this is the ability of a great man.
As long as you speak your mind, he can help you realize it.
Internet software companies need more ideas, especially ideas that meet market demand, which is the most valuable asset.
When the originality is really realized, the first edition can often be produced by a few gifted students in the dormitory, and it will not be difficult.
In later generations, this is how many famous Internet companies came into being, including Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook, all of which evolved from a great idea.
And why are those IT elites called code farmers?
Because in addition to genius ideas, realizing genius ideas requires a lot of hard and trivial labor.
Except for the software architect who controls the project, the only thing left to realize the genius idea is the heavy coding work, which is what most IT elites do.
For example, the Finnish genius Linus, after writing more than 10,000 lines of code, planned a general framework and soul for the Linux operating system.
Just like a low-level skeleton soldier, he can walk and move, has arms and legs, and is limited to the most basic functions.
Through the unremitting efforts of Red Hat, the code uploaded by the Linux operating system has exceeded 350,000 lines, which is equivalent to adding flesh and organs to the skeleton soldier, making his operation and action more flexible and more effective.
The code of the later linux operating system exceeds 10 million lines, which is equivalent to adding skin, eyes and hair to the skeleton soldier, equipped with horses and even armor, sharp weapons, and transformed into an armored knight. The power is naturally different.
And all these arduous tasks require a large number of it elites to work hard day after day, year after year, adding little by little, and perfecting little by little, so they will jokingly call it elites code farmers.
"However, I want to declare that if the digital credibility evaluation of each website is added, the burden on the enterprise server will be greatly increased, because a large amount of data is stored on the enterprise server, and every user who browses the Internet will use , resulting in a sharp increase in visits.
Such a large-scale investment is tens of millions of dollars, and it consumes a lot of power to run, which will make the company's operating costs unbearably high. "
Wang Yaocheng said; "Or, let's keep this idea for the time being, and we can improve it by patch plug-in in the future."
Linus said indifferently; "Yes, it is not difficult to realize."
"Then it's settled."
? Seeing the back of Linus leaving, Wang Yaocheng felt an upsurge in his heart. This was not touching, but a warm current of happiness, which came from the evil capitalists.
? For someone with a technical level like Linus, at least one million annual salary in Microsoft Corporation, when the Internet age is surging, such a hot master has an annual salary of tens of millions and enjoys a large amount of technology investment.
What can Linus have now?
Set an annual salary of more than 30,000 U.S. dollars in Finland, and only took less than 6,000 U.S. dollars for two months, and then came to Silicon Valley in the United States. Red Hat paid only a mere 10,000 U.S. dollars for moving expenses, and three ordinary air tickets.
Now the three members of Linus's family work in Red Hat. His father is in the outreach department, responsible for miscellaneous and various chores, and also serves as a driver.
Linus is the head of the technical department, and his annual salary is increased to 60,000 US dollars, and the whole family is only 110,000 US dollars in total. They are already very satisfied with this salary. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
