Silicon Valley

Chapter VIII Development

On the 18th, it was crowded outside the London Hotel.

Henry looked at the flow of people, and felt a little guilty. If he signed for everyone, he must not be abolished?

Fortunately, the workers told Henry that it was only a limited number of signed books, about a hundred copies. Henry came outside, met with many fans, casually expressed a few words of thanks, and then, under the arrangement of the staff, began to sign and sell books. Due to the large number of people present, one hundred lucky winners were drawn by lottery, and they would get Henry's autographs.

The event was very lively. Although Henry was only eleven years old, he was young and mature, handsome and cute, and was very popular among fans. By the end of the book signing event, Henry's face was covered with lipstick marks.

Although the signing event was over, Penguin Press also invited a singing star to sing on the spot. The atmosphere in the venue was very hot, and Henry returned to the hotel to rest.

At noon, Henry had eaten Chinese food and was about to leave the hotel and go to worship at his parents' cemetery. As soon as they left the door, they saw Peter and Rosa running to Henry with flattering faces.

"Oh, Henry, you are in London, why didn't you come to see your uncle and aunt, we miss you!!!" Rosa's face was full of smiles, and her tone was very kind!

"Oh, it's Aunt Rosa and Uncle Peter..." Henry looked at them with a look of disgust on his face.

But Peter and his wife pretended not to know, still smiling, walked forward shamelessly, and said, "Henry, go back to your uncle's house, we will take good care of you!" Rosa's face moved and her eyes flashed. After a trace of greed and cunning, she leaned over to Henry and whispered, "Henry, your uncle and aunt are your relatives. You and your uncle are both members of the Williams family and are connected to the same vein. You should move back and have sex with you. Your uncle lives with you. And your current guardian will definitely not be sincere to you, because you have no blood relationship!!!"

Henry looked at her and smiled disdainfully, presumably Peter and his wife didn't know that the person who adopted him was his grandfather.

"Aunt Rosa, after I move back, do I have to do laundry, mop the floor, and clean every day? Do I have to eat your leftovers every day? Do I have to make you drink and abuse every day?" Henry's tone was cold, and under his word-by-word questioning, Rosa and Peter were immediately embarrassed and flushed.

"Henry, you misunderstood us..."

Rosa wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Henry: "Okay, don't explain it. I know exactly who you are. Don't you just want to cheat money from me?"

Henry paused and took out a stack of money from his wallet.

"Money, I have it!!!"

"But not for you!"

Henry sneered and called the hotel waiter.

"Need help, sir?"

"Go and give all this money to those beggars over there!" Henry handed a wad of money in his hand, and then pointed to two mothers and daughters who were begging in the distance.

The waiter looked surprised, such a pile of money, less than a thousand pounds.

"Okay, sir!"

When the waiter took the money, Rosa and Peter had a look of greed on their faces, but at the same time embarrassed. Such a naked face slap made Rosa and Peter's face very ugly. Although they are thick-skinned, the strange eyes of the people around them still make the two of them make a lot of noise, and they can't wait to dig a hole and get in.

Rosa used to bully Henry before, but one day, Henry suddenly became famous and rich, which made Rosa both regretful and envious. Originally, when she came to see Henry today, she was ready to be mocked and ridiculed by him, but in fact, she couldn't bear it at all. Facing Henry's slap in the face, Rosa was completely annoyed. Seeing that Henry would rather He didn't give the money to the beggar, but he didn't give it to her. Suddenly, his inner anger was like a volcano erupting, and he yelled at Henry: "Henry, don't think you have money, you can be arrogant in front of us! You broom star , you killed your biological parents, and one day you will not die!!!"

When the hotel staff saw something was wrong, they immediately drove Peter and Rosa out!

The reporters and media on the side stepped forward to ask questions and take pictures, their expressions were excited and excited, and there must be another headline tomorrow!

Without saying a word, Henry got into a car with the help of the staff.

In the afternoon, Henry went to worship at his parents' cemetery. There, Henry told his mother's tombstone something about his grandfather Roger Nicholas, how his grandfather regretted driving them away, and how he missed his mother when he left. ! !

As Henry spoke, he couldn't help shedding tears.

The next day, Henry flew back to the United States by plane. As for the emperor's knighthood, no one has contacted him these days. Henry was a little depressed, thinking that it was probably because he was too young.

Henry lived with the Bosacs before, but over time, Henry discovered a problem. Henry didn't realize this problem at first, until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, when Henry heard the sound of "papapa", he suddenly understood that it turned out that living there was obviously hindering other people's sexual life.

Both Posac and Lerner are in their thirties, but are now childless. The couple must be in a hurry, but Henry lived there every three days, so it was very inconvenient for them to "run things".

So Henry bought a cottage in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is a dream place in the eyes of the world-famous billionaires. There are many mansions of Hollywood movie stars. Henry coveted this place. He once fantasized about buying a house here, facing the sea and spring flowers blooming. . Although Henry is not very rich now, he still has no problem buying a small villa for more than two million dollars.

However, when the money is spent. Henry suddenly reacted, Nicholas Bookstore has been carrying out a great and expensive operation. So, I started to worry about money again.

As for Cisco, it's much better.

Stanford University, which is the closest to Silicon Valley, is already connected to the entire campus, and hundreds of computers on campus are all in the same network. The reason why Stanford University's network development is so fast is that in addition to the high level of computer level in the school itself, it is also inseparable from the strong support of Cisco. As the former directors of Stanford University, Posac and Lerner naturally tend to favor Stanford University for many resources.

With their support and connections, Stanford's network can't be developed without it!

Henry is also happy to see it succeed. Stanford University is the school with the best computer skills. Later, too many Internet experts emerged. Cisco can maintain a good relationship with it, which has a very huge effect on the development of the company!

As a famous American university, Stanford University is naturally associated with many companies and research institutions. In order to closely cooperate and develop, it is necessary to join the Stanford network. As a result, many companies have purchased routers to join Stanford University's network. For a time, Cisco ushered in a small business peak.

The quiet past of 1985, the arrival of 1986, Cisco is already a little famous.

This year, the National Science Foundation of the United States established the National Science Foundation Network, which has a transmission rate of 56Kbit/s and connects five supercomputer centers to realize long-distance transmission. This National Science Foundation Network is very good, it is equivalent to the predecessor of the Internet, and it is the first backbone network in the United States. Stanford University network and Harvard University network, one east and one west, are very far apart. If you want to connect the network, you can only join this large backbone network. No one will burn more money, just pull a fiber optic cable...

The establishment of the National Science Foundation of China has naturally greatly promoted the development of Cisco.

Cisco seems to have emerged as the times require to meet the needs of the times, so it will definitely become a trend-setter in this era!

Cisco's development by leaps and bounds, not for the time being. Another Henry's property, the Nicholas Bookstore's Netscape browser, has been completed, and although it looks very crude and rudimentary in Henry's view, it is considered excellent at the time. The company then spent more than a month making the Nicholas Bookstore website. But the content of the website is a bit huge, there are a lot of book data, plus the size of the browser itself, there is a total of more than 4M, which is a test of the capacity of the hard disk. Because the hard disk at that time was only 20 or 30 MB, it is conceivable that it is definitely not easy for users to install this thing independently.

For this matter, Henry broke his head, and the best way is to find a computer manufacturer to cooperate. But why should anyone work with you, why should they help you install software?

There is no way, only one family will go to run, to persuade them to install this software, to describe what benefits it will bring to their company and users after installing this software! Henry recruited a large number of salesmen to run the business, but unfortunately the effect was not very good. But Henry knew all about the development of the school network in the United States, so he finally had an idea and found another way. Through cooperation with Cisco and some colleges and universities, the Netscape browser could be hung on the school's server, and any computer user who entered the school's network could Install the software by downloading it.

The willingness of colleges and universities to help mainly depends on Cisco's face, and Cisco has made certain concessions in the price of routers. But in fact, Cisco has adjusted and planned the entire future strategic development, in which the school is the key point and the hub. Therefore, in order for the network to develop faster, the price of the routers sold to the school must be reduced.

Cisco sold well to these schools, so the schools were happy to do Nicholas Bookstore a small favor. Henry, as the controlling shareholder of Cisco, can still seek a little self-interest for himself without harming Cisco's interests! Besides, Nicholas Bookstore and Cisco are basically the same boss. The better the development of the two companies, the more they can complement each other and resist risks!

The Posacs agree with Henry's request to help Nicholas Bookstore.

Therefore, in April 1986, Nicholas Bookstore also ushered in a leap forward! According to the download statistics of major schools, more than 1,000 people have installed the Netscape browser. There are more than 400 users who have used Nicholas Bookstore for consumption. So far, Nicholas Bookstore has sold a total of 831 books!
