Silicon Valley

　　 Henry waited for a few days but did not see Ford Brooke give him a quasi-letter, presumably Sequoia Capital did not agree to the exchange of shares. They believe that holding shares in Apple is more valuable than holding Netscape browser. Henry saw that Ford Brook didn't contact him, and he didn't care, anyway, when he got to the back, it's up to whoever asks! Don't be time, crying and crying to exchange shares, Henry had to take a hand and blackmail Sequoia Capital once.

　　 Noah's Ark Company settled in Silicon Valley, silently, and did not alarm any media.

　　 Henry believes that speaking with products, saying less and doing more, pragmatic and innovative, is the foundation of a company's development. That's it, Noah's Ark Company only held a small cocktail party internally, which was regarded as a celebration of the establishment of the company! In addition to the company's employees, the attendees also included Nicholas Bookstore CEO Geely Hurt, Cisco CEO Posack, Sequoia Capital Ford Brook, and three company chairman Henry Williams! !

　　 The new CEO of Noah's Ark is called Bob Gallaher. This guy is also a remarkable figure. He is a postdoctoral fellow in computer science at Harvard University in the United States, and has a concurrent MBA degree. He once served as the deputy manager of the Asian branch of General Electric. He resigned in February 1986 and soon joined Cisco. In view of this person's outstanding ability and professionalism, Henry decided to entrust him with the important task and let him serve as the CEO of Noah's Ark.

　　 Bob Gallagher is in his forties. He is slightly fatter and tall. He doesn't like to wear suits. He usually wears a gray casual outfit. Fortunately, Henry was wise and didn't insist on what clothes the employees of the company should wear.

　　 Henry met Ford Brook at the reception, and he didn't ask about the exchange of shares. Everyone had a good time and had a meal, chatting and slapped.

　　After the reception, Henry called Bob Gallagher to talk with him and discuss how Noah’s Ark should develop in the future. Henry can be regarded as giving it all. Although he doesn't know much about servers, he still knows a little bit about tower servers and blade servers. For servers, the processor is the top priority.

　　 As for the processor, which one is better?

　　 Intel should do its part, but most of Intel’s processors are developed based on the windows operating system. The two of them "wondered" and formed the Wintel Alliance to manipulate the market, so this processor was also sold at a high price! !

　　 Noah’s Ark is a server, of course, it’s best to have your own processor!

　　 However, the difficulty is too high, and the research and development costs are hundreds of millions, and Henry has no money for them to burn! Naturally, buying Intel or other IBM processors has become a stopgap measure. The most urgent thing is for Noah's Ark to design a web server that can meet the needs of current users! !

　　 Nicholas Bookstore and Cisco’s technicians were assigned a total of 25 Noah’s Ark, and Bob went to Stanford University and recruited 20 people locally in Silicon Valley, and almost moved a 45-person R&D team. Everyone discusses what to do with this web server, what kind of processor is best to choose, and the work is in full swing!

　　 Henry returned home. These days, he is also very busy. After a two-day rest, the great cause of plagiarism began. Nine novels in the "Harry Potter" series have been written, and now they are all published to the seventh "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Henry plans to write a science fiction novel, the name is "Jurassic Park". This novel is a science fiction novel published by Michael Clayton in 1990. Once it was published, it immediately caused a national sensation, and it ranked first in the best-selling list of American novels.

　　 Henry bought Pixar and is already a member of Hollywood, so naturally he has to do more preparations.

　　Furthermore, film entertainment is indispensable in the Internet industry. As an ambitious and ambitious young man, it is impossible not to lay out the film industry!

　　 Pixar is one of them, and the copyright of various excellent film novels is also one of them.

　　 In addition to Henry's own writing, he may also acquire many famous novel scripts.

　　 Henry works as a "copy book" at home, and from time to time he also pays attention to national events and company development. The CEOs of Nicholas Bookstore, Cisco, Noah's Ark, and Pixar report to Henry every week, so Henry can understand the operation of the company even if he does not go out.

Due to Cisco’s advanced development, the Internet’s development speed has been at least two years longer than in the previous life. In particular, the development of the National Science Foundation. Under the management of several large companies such as IBM, it has grown stronger, but it has also become more commercialized. This is the original purpose of the establishment of the US Science and Technology Fund Network. The original purpose of the US Science Foundation Network was to exchange scientific research information, but in the hands of capitalists, it will definitely deteriorate! The US authorities immediately withdrew the management rights of IBM and other companies and turned to operate themselves. But despite this, many large companies in the United States have seen profits from it, so many companies have joined forces to jointly develop several professional commercial backbone networks.

　　 The rise of commercial backbone networks means that the Internet is about to enter a period of prosperity. It is no longer just the Internet of schools, governments, scientific research institutions, and companies, but the Internet of all Americans! Ordinary people can also connect to the Internet! ! Of course, the investment in the commercial backbone network is huge, and it will not be flourishing in a short while. However, in some developed areas, backbone networks have been established, and many Americans have joined the network.

　　 In January 1987, 13 major cities including New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. have joined the backbone network!

The development of the network has become a trend. Cisco has made significant achievements last year. After the annual report is released, it can be seen that Cisco’s sales in 1986 have reached 50 million U.S. dollars, and a router for 1,000 U.S. dollars is equivalent to selling five. Ten thousand routers. Compared with the performance in 1985, it has increased by 5 times! ! Charles, President of Sequoia Capital, said: "At the beginning, Sequoia Capital should invest a little more money!!"

　　 Ford Brook, executive director of Sequoia Capital, sighed: "Henry is a tougher guy than Bill Gates!!"

　　 Sequoia Capital’s resentful eyes and tone, Henry can't see it. He believes that low-key is the kingly way, and the most important thing is to make a fortune in a muffled voice. Although Cisco has gained fame, not many people know Mr. Henry Williams, the chairman of Cisco!

　　 Henry rarely appeared in front of the media except for a book signing event in the UK. He is mysterious, and outsiders know nothing about him.

　　 On January 5, 1987, Nicholas Bookstore CEO Geely Hutt suddenly called Henry and told him that the "Internet Movie Database" website had been built, and let him go and take a look.

　　 Henry rushed over the next day.

　　 came to the company, led by Geely Hutt and the company's chief technology officer Tom Wilson, entered an office, and then turned on a computer. Under Henry's gaze, Tom Wilson entered a www. website, and immediately a familiar website appeared in front of Henry. Henry looked at the interface, and then tested the functionality himself.

　　 Various functions are similar to the previous IMDB.

　　 After the test, Henry nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, this website does a good job. By the way, is it officially released?"

　　 "Not yet." Gilli Hutt said.

　　 "Let's publish it now. Um... Does the Netscape browser have a pop-up function?" Henry asked.

　　 "Pop-up function?" Geely Hutt and Tom Wilson were stunned.

　　Damn! I don’t even know the powerful "weapon" of pop-up windows. Didn't I say that you all know how to do it?

　　 Henry was very speechless.

So I explained to them: "The so-called pop-up window is a small window that pops up through a browser or website for advertising. Like our Netscape browser and the Nicholas Bookstore website, you can pop up the window. Help us to promote it. Our new website internet movie database!!!"

　　 Now, the two understood in seconds. Geely Hurt and Tom Wilson admired them with all their faces, astonished as a heavenly admiration! It is foreseeable that once the pop-up function is realized, it will have an unparalleled effect on publicity work!

　　 "Chairman, this function is easy to implement, I will develop it later!!" Tom Wilson excitedly said.

"Yeah." Henry nodded, but I still want to remind them not to pop up the windows all the time. Be like a certain Chinese Internet tycoon, and eventually become a gangster. "It can be developed, but don’t pop up the windows at will. Too frequent. The first time the user opens the Netscape browser, the window pops up once, and the Nicholas Bookstore website is the same. Too frequent pop-ups will make the user irritable, affect the user experience, and have a very bad impact on our future development. So, this must be remembered!"

"understood!!"

　　 Henry smiled. Even if the company develops, besides the omissions, he also has his own existence, which can turn the tide and set things right!

　　 The IMDB website was formally established in September last year, and it took more than four months to January this year. The preparatory work is very detailed, collecting data, entering data, developing a website, etc., if you don’t hear it, it’s a blockbuster. The IMDB website is going to make a sensation in Hollywood and is to arouse the love of screen names across the United States.

　　 Ten days later, the Netscape browser started.

　　 This is amazing. As the only graphical browser in the United States, as the Internet monopoly window in the United States, basically Internet users who use the Internet have seen a "powerful" pop-up window! It was the first time they met at this window. It was novel and interesting, and they couldn't help but clicked in. After I went in, I saw a new website. This website has pictures and information. It is actually a movie website.

After using 　　, I found that this website is too powerful. The movies from the beginning of the American movie to the present are all recorded, which is worthy of being a movie database. What's even more rare is that this movie database actually has a scoring system, not only for scoring movies, but also for comments and exchanges below. This is really too human and it is deeply loved by people. Some movie lovers have registered accounts to rate their favorite movies, and then leave comments!

Although 　　 Nicholas Bookstore is more influential than a browser without the Internet, it also has a lot of users, and it can be more or less effective.

　　 It didn't take long for the IMDB website to become popular. However, since there are few netizens, the level of the fire is also very average. However, all universities in the United States are the main targets of Cisco, and college students are the main consumers of movies and even potential consumers in the future, so the influence is still quite large! The major Hollywood studios reacted differently to this website, some did not take it seriously, and some took it very seriously.

　　 The growth of IMDB will take time!

　　 But history will prove that this will be a website media with great influence on Hollywood. With this website, Henry has a certain right to speak in Hollywood!

　　 Henry's four companies, his favorite is Pixar, because there is the most fun and the most unrestrained. Pixar's free creation, the atmosphere of divergent thinking and their innocence made Henry feel much younger. Of course, Henry is now a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, but his heart is an uncle. When I came to Pixar, I looked at the cute cartoon characters on the computer, watching everyone noisy like children, and even imitating the shapes and expressions of the cartoon characters. It was very interesting!

　　 The short film Pixar is currently making is called LuxoJr., the protagonist in the film is the dancing light that later became the symbol of Pixar. Henry volunteered and said that he would dub the dancing lights. Everyone laughed at Henry's request, saying that he would "interview" first, or "get off" if it didn't work, and didn't treat Henry as the boss at all!

　　 Everyone is familiar with it, and I often make jokes. Henry doesn’t mind. I’m just going to interview. Of course, the process was much more lively. A large group of people in the studio came to watch the excitement. Henry was not shy at all and dubbed it seriously. Not to mention, the final dubbing effect is pretty good. Pixar's ceo Edwin Catem immediately decided and asked Henry to dub the protagonist with a dancing light!

　　Henry has become an honorable voice actor!

　　 But how long can an animated short film take, Henry's dubbing work is completed in one day!

　　This short film "LuxoJr." is Pixar's first work. Everyone is united and meticulously crafted this film to create a classic, and it is even more rushing to win awards. In fact, the Pixar short film "LuxoJr." in the previous life was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film and won the Golden Gate Award, the first jury award in the computer imaging category of the San Francisco International Film Festival!

　　 After the production of "LuxoJr." was completed, Henry discussed with them to make the jumping light a symbol of the company. So, a day later, the later Pixar classic factory logo appeared, and this logo was painted by Henry himself, and everyone agreed!

　　 Then, there was the issue of the issue of LuxoJr.

　　 This problem is really a big one. An animated short film of more than ten minutes will not be shown in the cinema. How can this be done? Movie theaters are only profitable. Movies that are worthless and cannot make money will not be shown. For animated short films of only ten minutes, they are afraid that they will not even watch it.

　　 Henry thought for a while, the key is still not well-known, "LuxoJr." is popular, maybe the movie theater is willing to show this film.

　　 In the first step, Henry made a big publicity on the IMDB website.

　　 The second step is to send the short film to the competition.

　　 Henry did as he thought of it, and while instructing the IMDB website to start publicity work, he sent "LuxoJr." to participate in the Oscars. (vote…)
