Chapter 469: Honest

On the second day of the Los Angeles riots, although Claudia Schiff and Tina Fey were found early in the morning, they came out of the Eric bedroom, but in the face of the riots that continue to ferment in the city, few women have no go away. Of course, the face of Erik's crusade must be indispensable, but it is basically ignored by Eric, and no longer can poke a hole.
In the morning, the helicopter in the manor returned to Beverly Hills, and picked up a small point. With the little mouse that was drilled in the villa, Emma was used as a cushion, and the atmosphere in the villa changed. Get gentle.
In order to protect, Julia did not bring the babysitter together, perhaps she wanted to show her motherhood in front of Eric. Five women took the initiative to take care of the little ones, but obviously, none of them If you are good at taking children, take Julia, think about Emma Roberts, who has the same personality as the little flying girl in the air, and know what grade Julia’s education is.
Although he had already planned to leave Los Angeles, the riots lasted for three days and did not affect Malibu. Eric also dismissed the idea, stayed in the villa and left nothing, and began to discuss with Chris on the phone all day. Preparations for the three companies.
At the time of the riot, Chris was recruiting staff for three companies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the early 1990s, two of the most advanced computer technology universities in the United States, ones were Stanford, Yahoo and Google. The founders are all from Stanford University. The other one is MIT. Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the famous Internet, is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Chris told Eric that he contacted Tim Berners-Lee himself, and Tim Berners-Lee was the proponent and promoter of the World Wide Web concept. The so-called World Wide Web. It is also the predecessor of the Internet. Later, the websites beginning with ‘www’ on the Internet are members of the World Wide Web Consortium.
Chris said on the phone that Tim Berners-Lee was very interested in the graphical interface browser, but Tim Berners-Lee was also full of concerns about the project. A few years ago, Tim Berners-Lee and others developed a non-graphical web browser software, but when he realized that once the web browser was used for commercial operations, it would probably be due to software. Standard and other issues. The network was torn apart and eventually abandoned the idea.
Eric quickly realized the importance of Tim Berners Lee. Tim Berners-Lee, the chairman of the World Wide Web Consortium, has almost control over the development of many technical standards in the early days of the Internet, and if he can make a good match with this person, or go further. Bringing this person to his own, it will make his layout in the high-tech Internet industry even more powerful.
Through Chris's introduction, Eric quickly contacted Tim Berners-Lee by phone. In the face of a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Eric's lack of computer knowledge had no room for expansion. Fortunately, he can see the future and know the development trend of the Internet industry. Therefore, the two chatted very happily on the phone. Tim Berners-Lee is screaming at Eric's many ideas about the future of the Internet.
The two talked for more than an hour. At the end, Eric invited Tim Berners-Lee to Los Angeles to be a guest. By the way, he talked more about his thoughts on the Internet Explorer (ie) company. What Eric didn't think was that Tim Berners. Lee was more refreshed than him. Directly agree that this weekend will come to Los Angeles, you know, now Los Angeles is still in turmoil.
The other side is so eager, Eric will certainly not object, but also specially sent a private plane from the Firefly Films to pick up people in Massachusetts.
The riots in Los Angeles are continuing, just as the US election year. Eric estimates that the most troublesome thing in his heart is definitely Bush, because of the victory of the Gulf War. Originally, Bush’s voter support rate was much higher than that of his opponent. The hope of re-election was great, but everyone knows that the Los Angeles riots, regardless of the outcome, are bound to affect the Bush’s popular support rate. Eric couldn't help but think that Clinton won the US election victory with a small advantage, perhaps related to this very 'timely' riot.
On the third day of the riots in Los Angeles, sporadic riots occurred in major cities on the east and west coasts of the United States. Racial issues have always been the most unwilling thing for US rulers to face. Therefore, Bush can only avoid heavy weight in TV speeches. Words such as 'anarchism intolerance' are published, and no mention is made of ethnic conflicts.
At the same time, until the third day of the riots, a large number of Los Angeles citizens took the initiative to take the streets and asked the federal government to calm the riots as soon as possible. California Governor Peter Wilson also sought assistance from the federal government on behalf of the state government of California, and Bush ordered a large number of nationals. The Guard and Marine Corps went to Los Angeles.
Although the federal government did not send troops to quell the riots on the third day, it was attacked by a large number of media. However, many people understand that this is also a helpless move by the Bush administration. The riots just started when the public opinion was boiling because the paragraph was incomplete. The videotape is misleading. The proportion of citizens who are guilty of four police officers who have been violently attacked by Rodney King is as high as 90%. At this time, it is tantamount to throwing oil on the fire. It’s only a few days of chaos. The public realizes that doing so will only hurt their own interests, and then stop the riots.
Tim Berners Lee also came to Los Angeles when a large number of National Guards were on the streets. In order not to leave the MIT professor a (although this is the case), Eric temporarily sent out a few women, leaving only one of Julia, as for the reason, or a small The guy seems to like it, wow, crying and not wanting to get on the bus.
When a helicopter was parked at the sharp corner of the manor, Eric was still holding a tearful little Emma.
A middle-aged man in his thirties with a messy eye socket got off the helicopter and smiled and walked over to Eric. Chris, who was curious after seeing Eric's little boy in the arms.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Li, just a little guy crying. Only then,
Eric held a small Emma in one hand and shook hands with Tim Berners.
"Of course it doesn't matter," Tim Berners. Lee said with a smile: "Eric, I didn't expect you to have children."
"No, this is not my child, actually..." Eric pointed to Julia who was next to him. Just talking, the little Emma, ​​who was still holding her finger, yelled: "Dad."
Although this tender voice is still somewhat vague. But a few people on the scene clearly heard what the little guy was yelling. Eric looked at the black line and wanted to explain. Little Emma was very happy to extend the little hand to Julia and fill the knife: mom."
It must be Drew. It must be the bad thing of this Xiao Nizi, Eric clearly remembers that Xiao Nizi always used the photo frame to sneak a little bit to teach the little girl to say something. I didn't expect it to be.
Although it is already in the 1990s, Westerners still generally feel that illegitimate children are a shameful thing. Many people are reluctant to admit illegitimate children, such as Jobs, so the scene is a bit embarrassing.
In the heart of Eric, there was a feeling of powerlessness. He patted it on the little buttocks and handed it to Julia, who snickered. Looking at Tim Berners-Lee with a little contempt in his eyes, Eric knows that the other person must think that he is a guy who is not willing to take responsibility. He has no choice but to spread his hand: "Okay. I am her father."
"What the is going on?" Chris came over at this time.
Holding Emma in her arms, Julia saw the look of Tim Berners-Lee and Chris, and explained to Eric: "Mr. Li, this is actually my brother's daughter. After his girlfriend gave birth to a child, they were not willing to raise them. I only adopted them."
Chris also said at this time: "Oh. I remembered, this incident was still in the newspaper last year. Your brother seems to be called Eric Roberts, right?"
Julia nodded.
Tim Berners-Lee certainly couldn't understand Julia, heard the explanations of Julia and Chris, and realized that she had misunderstood Eric.
"So, don't stand here, let's go in," Eric made a gesture of asking, and he thought about how to gesture a messy little Nizi.
It was already noon. After lunch, Eric took Chris and Tim Berners. Lee to the glass curtain wall of Linhai and talked about the graphical interface browser. Although Eric gave three plans, Chris only detailed the browser project to Tim Berners.
Although it was slightly shocked by the endless blue sky and blue sea scenery outside the glass curtain wall, Tim Berners-Lee quickly entered the state and talked about the browser: "Eric, I am worried about Once the graphical interface browser enters commercial operation and achieves good results, it will definitely attract other software vendors to join the competition. Each vendor will develop its own network protocol rules for its own browser, and the website must not adapt to all. Browser, this will cause the Internet to be divided. The reason why I did not commercialize the browser software we designed a few years ago is to take this into account. I hope to establish a global unified information interaction network, not because The difference in network protocols has caused the Internet to be torn apart."
Eric listened carefully to the words of Tim Berners-Lee, but felt that the other party was too idealistic. In this capital society, if there is 100% profit, capital can commit any evil, and the future output value of the Internet. It will reach trillions of dollars, so a piece of fat is not ideal to manipulate.
Although the original spacetime Tim Berners-Lee has been committed to the free promotion of the World Wide Web, but in the mid-1990s, Netscape and IE's browser war still occurred. Although the Netscape browser was finally out, but then, Google Chrome and Firefox have appeared. Although everyone started to implement the free strategy, I have never been able to dominate the world.
As soon as Tim Berners-Lee finished, Eric asked: "Mr. Li, said so much, in fact, do you want the graphical interface browser we developed to be free to users?"
"Yes, if the graphical interface browser is free to users, it will definitely increase the speed of the World Wide Web," said Tim Berners. Lee raised his hand around him: "Look, Eric, You are so rich, why not do something more meaningful?"
Eric smiled and picked up the coffee pot on the table for Tim Berners. Lee continued some coffee and said: "Mr. Li, I am making a movie, then let's take the movie. Edison After the invention of the camera, in about 1895, the first black and white silent film "Factory Gate" appeared. It was a short film that was played at a speed of 16 frames per second. Because the technology is very rough, the people in the picture look like Like a puppet."
Tim Berners. Li wondered: "Eric, I don't quite understand, is this related to the things we discussed?"
Eric made a gesture of awkwardness and said: "So after a few years, a long film of silent film appeared, and soon formed an industry. In the 1920s, there was a sound movie, four In the 1980s, color movies appeared, in the 1960s, 3D movies appeared, in the 1980s, family video tapes appeared, and we all know that more convenient dvd technology has also been developed, you think, the factors that promote all of this are what?"
Tim Berners. Lee is not an old-fashioned nerd, of course, can hear the meaning of Eric.
Eric smiled and said: "It is the interest. Because of the interests, the film technology will produce reforms and developments again and again. If there is no interest-driven, then what we are seeing now is probably the one in 1895. 16-square-second film plays a silent black and white picture like a puppet."

Eric, I don’t refuse to make a profit, I just hope that everyone can reduce some differences and build a unified information interaction network platform that can coexist with each other.

Eric nodded: "Mr. Li, in fact, I am consistent with your goal. I also hope that there will be a unified network platform. However, the way we achieve our goals is different. You want to share it freely. And I want to be able to monopolize!"
Tim Berners. Li smiled and said: "Eric, your frankness surprised me a little." (To be continued)
