Everyone first came to the office space, which is a large open room decorated with large green plants. More than 30 employees were working hard, each with their own independent area.
There is a leisure area outside the office, where you can sit on the swing and drink coffee, or browse the latest electronic magazines.
There are a variety of drinks and ready-to-eat snacks on the wall shelves, which can be taken at will, all for free.
All this luxurious treatment made Professor Sun Zhongxiu and his party no longer able to calm down.
"Yao Cheng, this is too generous. Won't the company suffer losses?"
"Professor, knowledge is priceless here in Silicon Valley, and all companies are creating a better environment for employees, which helps each employee develop their unique creativity.
Of course, Red Hat does a better job."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully and continued to move forward to another building. Wang Yaocheng said with a smile;
“This building is also an office area, and the building next to it is a leisure and fitness area, where you can have a light lunch.
The building on the far side is an apartment. Six apartments have been cleared out now, and the others are still under renovation.
Each apartment has 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom, so I can only trouble the professors to squeeze in for a while, so that two people share an apartment."
"The conditions are already very good and we are very satisfied."
"Haha, when the apartment is decorated, it's better for everyone to stay in one place without disturbing each other. After all, the most important thing to worry about when doing research is interference from others."
Uh...okay!
This reason is really strong. Of course professors like to live in a quieter place. It seems that there is really no way to refute it.
Come to the office area
When the professors and young lecturers saw that everyone had a top-of-the-line IBM 486 personal computer, they were so excited that they stepped forward and caressed the beautiful milky white display of the computer, as gently as caressing the skin of a lover.
These expensive instruments are only available in the laboratory of Jinling University. There are only six 386 computers in total and none of the latest 486 computers.
Even Professor Sun Zhongxiu cannot use it every day, and there is a time limit for use, so he cannot enjoy the fun brought by high technology at all.
After domestic experts joined in, the development speed of Netscape Navigator browser suddenly accelerated. In addition to three meals a day and sleeping time, these young and middle-aged experts all worked overtime in the office, and the office lights often stayed on all night.
The level of Wang Yaocheng’s professional courses has also increased by leaps and bounds. If you have any questions, you can ask at any time and you can always get the most detailed answers. 12 high-level experts provide consultation at any time. Which student can enjoy such high treatment?
half a month later
Netscape Navigator has taken initial shape and has applied for a patent in the United States. Patents in other regions in Europe and Asia are also being applied for.
Wang Yaocheng stood in the company's office hall and officially announced; "I announce that Netscape Navigator software is officially launched for testing."
What followed was thunderous applause, and more than 40 employees were all excited and cheered.
because
According to the employee stock ownership plan announced by Chairman Wang Yaocheng, Netscape Networks Computer Software Branch will be established separately under Red Hat, and a 2% stock option pool will be set aside to be implemented as an employee incentive plan.
This is a common practice in Silicon Valley, and the purpose is to maintain the overall stability of the entrepreneurial team.
Among them, deputy general manager Mo Yuxuan, Huo Jiaguang and technical department head Linus each account for 1/10 of the total employee stock option pool, which is two thousandths of the total shares.
Assistant manager Cai Linlin, logistics manager Luo Qianjin and project team leaders (including Professor Sun Zhongxiu and Professor Liu Fu) each hold 1/20, which is one thousandth of the total shares.
The remaining ordinary employees will receive a huge amount of wealth if they share the remaining 20%.
With the launch of the "Netscape Navigator" browser, the sales price to agents is US$5.5 per copy, and the retail price is US$8. The cost is almost negligible. The first batch of 200,000 units was underwritten by businessmen with a keen sense of smell.
Empty.
This browser software, which is more powerful than it was in 1994, was quickly rolled out across the United States and immediately aroused public opinion in just over a month.
Reported by the US Wall Street Journal;
“An epoch-making initiative;
The 'Netscape Navigator' browser has created a new era of free browsing on the Internet, which is of epoch-making significance..."
The New York Times reports;

…
at the same time
Well-known venture capital funds and large investment banks across the country quickly surrounded me like sharks smelling the smell of blood. Business cards flew in like snowflakes. Newspapers and TV stations lined up to ask for private meetings and interviews.
A large number of media reporters gathered at the entrance of Red Hat Company located on Fengsha Road, scrambling to report first-hand news.
The first batch of 200,000 units of the Netscape Navigator browser were sold out within a week, and all parts of the country were sold out.
In order to cooperate with the sales of the second batch of 1 million units of Netscape Navigator browser, Wang Yaocheng cooperated with "Time Magazine" and n TV network to conduct special interviews. He showed his youthful smile for the first time and immediately received unanimous praise from fans.
Unlike other industries, where most of the billionaires are middle-aged and older, the young Wang Yaocheng is like the big boy next door, sitting on the sofa in the TV broadcast room and chatting, and is naturally very attractive and topical.
The title of the youngest billionaire undoubtedly brings him a golden halo, making him charming and more lovable.
Wang Yaocheng walked into the studio casually wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of washed-out jeans, completely different from those elites in suits and ties.
Such casual attire brings a comfortable feeling to the audience and is not so deliberate.
Similarly, Wang Yaocheng's young and clean smile, showing his white teeth, also makes people feel very fond of him.
Even the Texas red-neck, who has always been xenophobic, had to mutter, "This is a lucky brat, he does have some skills, um... he seems to be doing a pretty good job."
n TV network anchor Teddy Davis is a sharp-tongued white man. He intentionally brought the topic to sensitive politics, but Wang Yaocheng avoided it with vigilance.
"Well, I don't understand autocracy and I have no opinion on your questions. I am a first-year college student and I have been studying, studying and studying since I was seven years old.
My life is filled with mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks, and the little spare time I have is not enough for fun.
In our free time, we play basketball, table tennis, and other interesting activities, and we don’t have the energy to think about other problems.”
"Hahaha... The social systems are different. This question is too profound for me. Let's go back to the 'Netscape Navigator' browser. This is a very excellent set of software that can bring you the ultimate pleasure in surfing the Internet.
Experience…”
"Girlfriend? Oh my god, the mention of this question makes people yearn for it. I haven't had the chance to experience it yet."
"Black girlfriend, no no no, I don't dislike black girlfriends at all, why do you have such a weird question? I admire pretty chocolate girls very much and don't mind having a dark skinned girlfriend, I think that
So cool."
…
After the TV interview, Wang Yaocheng said goodbye to anchor Teddy Davis with a frosty face and said;
"You are a disgusting bastard. I never want to see you again. OK, go eat shit, Fake Oil."
After saying that, he wiped his hands in disgust. Unable to suppress the raging anger in his heart, he walked out and threw the earphones to the ground, crushing them with his feet.
Wang Yaocheng's voice echoed in the corridor;
"Get out of here, TV network, disgusting Teddy Davis hair, the nasty gray hair here, the whole damn hair is disgusting..."
These tidbits did not affect the great success of the TV program interview, which once again set off a wave of speculation about the new rich.
