What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
At Cui Lenan's repeated requests, Tim Berners-Lee agreed to visit the Geneva branch of the Wujiang Group to see what exactly could attract his attention.
Around 7 p.m., the two arrived at the branch office.
“Ms. Cui, we have arrived at the company. Can you take the items out and let me see them?” Tim Berners-Lee said to Cui Le-Nan.
“Bernas-Lee, don’t rush, please come with me.” Cui Lenan smiled and led Tim Berners-Lee toward an office.
"Look, the thing the boss asked you to see is right there!"
Cui Lenan pointed to the two computers on the table and explained to Tim Berners-Lee, "These two computers are the web server and the web client, respectively. The data for these two computers is on these computers!"
As he spoke, Cui Lenan took the documents from a staff member and handed them to Tim Berners-Lee.
Tim Berners-Lee took the documents, quickly glanced through them, and suddenly froze.
The information in the document was almost identical to what he wanted to research and develop. It also used hypertext technology to build a system that used links to access one site from another, thereby actively obtaining information!
What surprised Tim Berners-Lee even more was that Wujiang Group had already developed the product.
"Worldwide Web! What a great name!!!" Tim Berners-Lee exclaimed excitedly, feeling that the name was exactly what he wanted.
Then, Tim Berners-Lee's eyes lit up as he looked at the two computers on the table, his expression full of excitement. "These two are the web server and the web client... Ms. Cui, may I turn them on and take a look?!" He turned to Cui Le-Nan and asked expectantly.
Cui Lenan smiled and nodded, saying, "You can look around as you like, and do whatever you want!"
"Thank you!" Tim Berners-Lee said, then eagerly stepped forward and turned on the two computers.
The documentation states that Tim Berners-Lee knows how to use web servers and web clients.
He was immediately captivated and began testing the functions of the web server and web client without a care in the world.
Seeing Tim Berners-Lee so engrossed in the video, Cui Lenan couldn't help but smile slightly.
An hour later, Tim Berners-Lee finally stood up from his seat.
Cui Lenan walked over and asked with a smile, "So, Berners-Lee, are you willing to come to Wujiang Group now? The boss said that if you are willing to come to Wujiang Group, then you can be in charge of the follow-up work of this project! Tim Berners-Lee, are you willing to take on this job?"
No one can escape the "it's actually so good!" phenomenon!
Tim Berners-Lee hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, I'm willing to take on this job!"
"Welcome Berners-Lee to Wujiang Group. We'll be colleagues from now on. Oh, by the way, your workplace is in Shanghai, China. Your boss has many ideas to discuss with you."
“No problem, I can go to Shanghai. I’ll submit my resignation to CERN tomorrow!” Tim Berners-Lee said. At this moment, he couldn’t wait to meet the inventor, who was also the world’s recognized super genius scientist.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for not having met her sooner!
Cui Lenan smiled and nodded: "Okay, after you finish the handover, I'll arrange your trip to China!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Cui!"
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."
A dozen minutes later, Tim Berners-Lee set off to return home.
That night, Tim Berners-Lee inevitably...
The next morning, the sky was a clear, bright blue.
Tim Berners-Lee, suppressing his excitement, submitted his resignation to his superiors.
"Bernas Lee, why did you resign all of a sudden?" His boss was puzzled.
Tim Berners-Lee couldn't say it outright, as it might involve Wujiang Group's trade secrets, so he made up an excuse: "I was planning to change my work environment, and Wujiang Group happened to offer me a high-paying job at this time, so I decided to go to Wujiang Group..."
Upon hearing this, the boss couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "What kind of offer did Wujiang Group make you willing to leave CERN?"
Tim Berners-Lee replied, "A $500,000 annual salary!!"
Upon hearing this, the boss began to understand why Tim Berners-Lee had decided to switch jobs to Wujiang Group.
The US dollar is currently very strong, valuable, and has strong purchasing power.
A $500,000 annual salary is quite high.
“Alright, congratulations, Berners-Lee. Joining Wujiang Group might be a good choice!” The boss extended his right hand.
"Thank you!" Tim Berners-Lee stood up, quickly shook hands with the other person, and then said goodbye and left.
A week later, his work handover was completed, and he was ready to travel to China.
...
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.
As soon as Tim Berners-Lee exited the station, he saw someone holding a very eye-catching sign that read "Welcome Tim Berners-Lee".
Upon seeing this, Tim Berners-Lee walked over to the man and said, "Hello, I am Tim Berners-Lee!"
"Tim Berners-Lee, welcome to Shanghai, China. My name is Lü Fei, a member of the secretariat of Wujiang Group. The boss sent me here to pick you up. Please come with me, the car is ready."
