Really fragrant open life

Chapter 159
The sun was rising in the faraway country, and the morning lights in California were still bright, and the IT elites fought until dawn again.

Their lives are far from being as casual as they imagined, with endless codes and "eight elder brothers." This is an endless road, and only those who find the true meaning of life on this road, To be able to swim in it.

When Brin pushed open the door of Page's office, Peggy and Brown followed behind him.

"Hey buddy! What's up?"

Seeing everyone's dignified expressions, Page had to put down his work.

"I think you should see this."

Pi Cai quickly clicked an icon from the laptop desktop in his hand.

An icon of what appears to be a black hole surrounded by a nebula in three gradient colors.

When the page opened, Page said professionally: "It's a browser!"

"Yes!"

Brin replied affirmatively: "This is the work of a newcomer, discovered by Dalin and Ben in the technical community."

"Newbie?"

Brin said with some disbelief that there are many kinds of newcomers in technology, some are involved in applications, and some are developing games, but almost no one will develop a browser.

Anyone who knows something about technology will not touch this field, just like a novice who just learns programming and wants to develop an operating system from the beginning.

After all, at some level, the difficulty of a browser has surpassed that of an operating system itself.

"Operators missed this news at first, and we didn't find out until users who had used it started to report that it was good and wondered if it was our secret project.

At present, we have tried to communicate with the other party. From the known information, the agent of the other party clearly stated that this is the work of a newcomer, a newcomer with outstanding talent. "

While Brin was talking, he demonstrated quickly, and Brown explained as a product manager.

"From a product perspective, this is an excellent browser, much more advanced than our current semi-finished products.

Although it looks different from our product in many aspects, as long as we study carefully, we can find that this product called 'Star' browser has the same design ideas as ours.Simple; easy to use; fast. "

After finishing speaking, Brin added: "Not only that, but most importantly, we found that its multi-process architecture is very stable, which can almost be regarded as our future goal. After our tests, it can run many WEB applications independently. , while occupying extremely low processor and memory usage, which is far better than what we have done."

"What kernel is used? Is it Webkit like us?"

Page was experimenting with it himself.

"If you say it is the Webkit kernel, you can also look at it that way, but obviously, it is not the Webkit that is currently known in the market. We feel that it is re-developed on this basis, and there are many traces of Webkit. It was a very smart choice."

Brin made himself more comfortable on the sofa: "Compared with Fruit Browser, this browser is more compatible. It can be said that if we continue to develop, we may not reach this level."

"What did Dalin and Ben say?"

The two people that Page asked were the developers of Guge's internal incubation browser project. Both of them were former Firefox engineers.

"They can only say admiration, because the two of them were the first to contact the agent."

Page knew that GooGe was developing very rapidly at this time, and it had already shown an indomitable momentum in the search field. Except for the slowness in China, almost all other areas were as easy as picking up something.

But does Gu Ge really have no worries?
Both Page and Brin knew that, not to mention Dumb Tiger, just the veteran giant Microsoft and the rising star Uncle Face were constantly testing the search field that belonged to Guge.

Everyone wants to take a bite of a piece of advertising business cake.

At the same time, in order to occupy more time of users on the Web, the current browsers including IE itself, to be honest, it is difficult to meet the needs of GooGe, they do not just want a search portal.

If you just want an entrance, then according to Gu Ge's urine, you can just buy a browser, or shell a browser.

However, web technology is stagnant, which makes the future "ceiling" of Guge come quickly, so the development of web technology is imminent. The long-term value of web technology development to search engines itself exceeds the tone of many people, and browsers carry such a important task.

At present, Guge's browser project has been developed for more than a year, and the internal and external talents have also gradually worked together from stumbling to the present, but it is impossible to produce a finished product within at least half a year.

"If we ramp up development, how long will it take?"

This is a question from Page and Brin, and Pi Cai said solemnly: "At least one year."

"One year?"

Page and Brin glanced at each other, and at the same time looked down at the browser on the computer desktop. Gu Ge's search box was there quietly, and the entire page did not load redundantly.

clean and tidy.

For the rapid development of the Internet, not to mention one year, even half a year is often unaffordable. In the ever-changing Internet age, users in this industry are too picky and fickle. People in this industry are very clear.

"How long has this 'Star' browser been released, and what is the number of users?"

Hearing Page's inquiry, Brin glanced at his old friend and replied.

"In less than a month, the market share is negligible, but from the channels we know, all the technicians engaged in development have a high evaluation of him, causing quite a stir in Guigu.

It can be said that at present, more than one-third of the programmers in Guigu are researching this browser. There are even rumors that this is a browser that we developed secretly, although I also hope that this is what we developed. "

"Try to contact the other party!"

Page thought for a moment: "It's not an agent, let's see if we can contact the developer himself. Also, the project team has recruited a few people to step up research and evaluate how far we are from this browser?"

"Before coming here, we have actually evaluated it."

Brown explained from the side: "All of us have a feeling that this browser is our future, as if someone stole our ideas."

"You mean someone leaked the secret?"

Paige looked serious.

"No, it's impossible!"

Brown shook his hand and said: "We mean that the developers and our ideas are interlinked. Both of us thought of this. It's not so much that he stole my ideas. It is interlinked, if we continue to walk, maybe we can stand on the shoulders of 'giants'."

"You mean, this man is a 'giant?'"

Paige pointed to the browser on the screen in disbelief: "As the top elites in the industry, are you giving up so quickly? By a so-called 'newcomer?'"

"There is no age difference in technology."

Brown waved his hand.

Brin also noticed that Page's mood was not right, and reached out to pat the old man on the shoulder.

"It's time for us to make a decision, whether to continue or contact each other."

No one spent more than a year, staggering forward, like a poor boy trying to get close to the gate of Bai Fumei, the old Wang next door has already driven Bai Fumei onto the yacht in a sports car.

That feeling was like eating dog food and then swallowing the digested Xiang, as bad as it could be.

Page felt as if he had eaten Xiang.

"Is it really like yours? No flaws?"

"No, we also found out that Star Browser has no problems with pages in Chinese and Niaoyu, but it doesn't do well in multilingual support."

"The developer is from Huaguo?"

Page's eyes lit up: "Isn't LEE in China? Can we let him try, whether we can cooperate, or even acquire. I'm fed up with the current IE, really, it's too bad."

Everyone glanced at each other. Just now, they wanted to motivate everyone, but now they are "really fragrant". As expected of Gu Ge, they are born with the taste of acquisition, and there is no need to think too much about things that can be solved with money.

As long as we can continue to go forward and expand our business, investors will pay for it.

"Okay, I'll tell LEE. According to the agent, he and the developer are both in Shanghai, a large oriental city. It shouldn't be difficult to get in touch."

When the crowd dispersed and only Page and Brown were left, the two got together.

"Dude, what do you think?"

Brin squinted at Page and said, "What do you think? If possible, I hope he can join Gu Ge, you know, when I first knew that this browser was developed by one person, one person , how surprised am I?"

"Don't talk about you, I am too! But I don't believe this is a product of one person. I hope LEE can contact and confirm it as soon as possible. We need to know the authenticity of this matter."

Page opened and closed indifferently, teasing the "star browser" in the computer like a pendulum.

"Look at this icon, how interesting, Xingchen? It's as simple and easy to remember as his name."

Page thought about it: "Look, we have a complete R&D team in California, supplemented by other teams in Norway and Denmark, but the result? One person from China can handle everything by himself. The pickles are also excellent."

Brin also twitched the corner of his mouth, but he had to agree and said: "You have to know, in terms of probability, the probability of Chinese people producing geniuses is higher than that of all other countries in the world. Isn't LEE also a genius?"

"Yes, LEE too!"

Page said: "But this 'newcomer' is even more of a genius. If it is determined that this is his work alone, don't say anything. I only hope that he can also join Guge. Guge needs more geniuses. We Will be the king of the Internet."

"Yes! King of the Internet!"

Brin and Page gave each other high fives.

Li Kaifu, who was far away in the east, glanced at the mailbox before going to bed, and then... sleepless all night.

The email message is not long, but the content is shocking and critical, and the level of confidentiality is very high.

From the imperial capital to the magic capital, the distance of a thousand kilometers is nothing, and it is nothing to find someone to talk to, isn't it just to recruit people to join the team, Li Kaifu has done a lot.

But the key point is that the person I want to recruit this time is said to be a good person. Although I have never met, I have never heard of any reputation before, and I am not one of the earliest Internet practitioners in China, but this person is good. I heard that it is an independent development. a browser.

Is this what people do?Beast!But Li didn't believe it.

Li Kaifu knows that there are many child prodigies in China, and many Internet circles have sprung up together, but it is amazing to complete this project alone, even if not alone, as a team leader, but it is clearly revealed in the email that this seems to be Developed by one person, I will go there first to inquire about the situation, and the California headquarters will also arrange people to meet and negotiate with them later, and confirm some information.

(I’m so tired. Let’s rest for a while.)
