was in an extremely good mood as he looked at the rising curve of the data of the downloading of the seed.

Wei Dongsheng casually registered his alternate account number and logged onto the Lei Family's Fei Ji technical forum. He simply browsed through a few hot posts.

Different netizens had different focus points. Other than the technical long speech by the Bitstream protocol, there were also many popular and interesting discussions.

For example, this discussion.

A domestic user posted a question: "The seed downloads the Bitstream protocol announced by the God Equipment open source, saying that the idea came from the BitTorrent software produced by Bram Cohen. I checked and couldn't find any relevant information. Do any overseas students know Bram Cohen and BitTorrent? What does the original BitTorrent look like, and what does it have? Compared to the seed downloading divine tool, who's more efficient? "

The content from the second floor to the fifth floor could either be related to requests for information or help to call for familiar overseas friends.

A foreign student on the sixth floor replied, "Where exactly is Bram Cohen? I did not retrieve BitTorrent. "

The seventh to seventeenth floors were filled with confusion. It was only at the eighteenth floor that someone revealed the secret. "You want to know more about BitTorrent? Ask me."

"BitTorrent was released in October 2002, free of charge. Even in the United States, BitTorrent has a very limited circulation, spreading only in small circles. I have some friends who are chasing Japanese anime. They find it hard to find real resources, and when they find out that the software can download video and video online, they become a loyal user of BitTorrent. However, BitTorrent is not as good as you think, and you don't have to expect the original version. BitTorrent is as rough as a primitive bone knife compared to a seed download artifact. My friends from the anime circles, after trying out the seed downloading divine tool, I have mercilessly uninstalled BitTorrent. They prostrated themselves and said that the seed downloading divine tool was really a divine tool. "

The post also released BitTorrent software and its source code, which was converted into a technical comparison post for BitTorrent and seed downloads.

This discussion gave rise to a new hotspot discussion, "The seed downloading divine tool is produced by Yanjing Spring and Autumn Software Co., Ltd. When Spring and Autumn Software Company stated his rights, he said that the reason why the Bitstream protocol was completely announced was because the Bitstream protocol's line of thought originated from BramCohen. Spring and Autumn Software Company said that without the contact method of BramCohen, there was no way to get permission in advance, so he could only apologize publicly for his actions and invite BramCohen to work together to improve Bitstream protocol. As far as I know, Bram Cohen has been in a state of semi-unemployment and living a very tight life in order to develop BitTorrent software. Who's familiar with the Spring and Autumn Software Company inside the jar, are they really willing to recruit Bram Cohen? "

Most of the replies to this post were without any nutrition.

Looking at the latest reply, Wei Dongsheng realized that it came from Lei Family Fei's alternate account. "I just tried to join the Spring and Autumn software. I have the fixed phone number of the person in charge of downloading the God Equipment for the Spring and Autumn software. I'll give it to you privately later. You can call me when you have time."

At the same time, the phone at Wei Dongsheng's waist rang. It was Lei Jiafei's phone, "Wei CEO, I have analysed BramCohen's skill level before. In our company, he is definitely second to you. Our company can bring in Bram Cohen. "

Bram Cohen is the true founder of the BitTorrent protocol.

Wei Dongsheng plagiarizing future mature technology was based on the rational consideration of a capitalist chasing after profits. Personally, Wei Dongsheng respected Bram Cohen's copyright and the intellectual work he did when he started BitTorrent, if conditions permitted. If Bram Cohen really lived in a difficult situation, if Bram Cohen was willing to join Spring and Autumn, Wei Dongsheng would definitely agree to accept him.

Wei Dongsheng immediately promised Lei Family Fei, "If he is willing to come, we will definitely come."

Lei Jiafei tactfully expressed his difficulties. "The wages of the American Programmer are relatively high."

Wei Dongsheng was not familiar with the 2002 market price, so he asked: "How high is it?"

Lei Jiafei: "After a few days of online research, the hottest job in the Internet industry in California, Northern California's Programmer has an average salary of $113K per year, and Southern California's Programmer has an average salary of $94K per year. If we want to hire BramCohen, we have to pay him at least $100K per year."

K means thousands.

How much K means salary is the derivation of a comma for every three digits in the English language. The first comma is K, which means thousands; the second comma is M, which means millions. US $100K, or US $100,000. The current exchange rate is converted to RMB 827 thousand.

The average annual salary of Hwa Country s, even if restricted to Yanjing s, had only risen to 150,000 RMB in 2016. Even the most popular program, skilled core members, usually earn only five or six hundred thousand dollars a year, which is less than the U.S. market in 2002.

This was also a reflection of the's human resource cost advantage.

At this moment, the highest salary Programmer of the Spring and Autumn software was only 20,000 yuan per month. If he rashly summoned BramCohen, he would definitely break the pay structure, which would easily attract the unbalanced feelings of the employees, and even scold Wei Dongsheng for admiring and exploiting the Programmer s from outside the country. He was only willing to give Programmer s from other countries a high salary.

These considerations did not stay in Wei Dongsheng's mind for long.

Bram Cohen, as the father of BT, should be measured by the industry's technology yak standard. Tech Da Niu was the god of a business. Tech Da Niu was the god of the sea, the god of the business, and Tech Da Niu was the god of gold. Tech Da Niu's annual salary and the ordinary Programmer's annual salary were never on the same level.

Furthermore, Wei Dongsheng felt guilty for seizing the formless capital of Bram Cohen to start the era of seeds. For example, the legendary external affairs and the Legendary Private Service's infringement of the Enormous Network's rights and interests, firstly, it was because of the era and environment, secondly, the Chen Tianqiao brothers would definitely not sink into depravity because of this, it should be the rich or the rich. Therefore, Wei Dongsheng felt guilty towards the Enormous Network, but not too strongly. And if BramCohen lived a miserable life, without BitTorrent's honor, it would be hard for him to make a comeback in the future. Wei Dongsheng felt extremely guilty towards him, and wanted to do everything he could to help him.

Not to mention the eight hundred thousand a year salary, even if it were three million a year, Bram would still be worth hiring.

Wei Dongsheng considered the pros and cons, and quickly answered: "If he is willing, let alone 100K, even if it's 150K, I will also give it to him."

Lei Jiafei said, "I understand."

After receiving Wei Dongsheng's authority, Lei Jiafei immediately called the other party to coordinate BramCohen's recruitment.

Wei Dongsheng continued to search the forums, and discovered that the forum users who released BitTorrent's software had started a new topic, "I passed on the gospel of downloading the divine tool to the American emperor, now a group of students are saying that they can't understand the Chinese interface, and are clamoring to translate the Chinese interface into the English interface. All I knew before was that there was a Sino-Chinese group, which had converted the English language into Chinese; and now that they had witnessed the rise of the English group, a bunch of purebred Yankees who wanted to translate the Chinese language into English, they completely overturned my view. My God, my God, what am I going to do? Is it to infringe on the copyright of Spring and Autumn Software or to correct their outlook on life and teach them profound Chinese? "

This thread was full of topic, and the people who followed it laughed and expressed their opinions:

"I have to teach them Chinese."

"Of course, in Chinese."

"Copyright protection, starting from you."

"Teaching Chinese, teaching Pinyin, starting from a, o, e, i, u, u."

"I think 'Double Slicing' is pretty good."

"Try listening to a pair of staves. Ask: Hng Hxi, what kind of grammar is that?"

"I had to stand up and say a few words when I heard the grammar. Thinking about it made me want to cry. Even Americans don't understand the present perfect time and the past perfect time. The English test papers stutter and test us. The first year in Massachusetts, when I met a Yank who couldn't tell the present from the past, I wanted to testify. Hey, don't mention how awkward it is. "In the future, we'll also test their grammar. We'll test them to death."

"Wait until we finish the Chinese test paper, then we'll test the difference between Big Token and Little Token, and test the difference between Cantonese and Minnan."

A few serious commentators suggested a new post: "Unlike NetAnts, the Seed Download Aperture is suitable for all countries, and there is every reason to rush out of Asia and into the world. He was preparing to apply to be a friend of Spring and Autumn Software Company just now, so he had to quickly ask Spring and Autumn Software Company for his suggestion and publish the English version. Before copying software appeared, it quickly seized the international market. "

As this user had said, the technological content of seed downloading was not only able to crush domestic peers, but also international peers.

However, Wei Dongsheng had no intention to lead the Spring and Autumn Software Company to open up an international market.

There were two main reasons.

First, downloading tools is extremely difficult to make money from downloading. The core user experience of downloading tools is download speed, and the cost of maintaining high download speed is to try to squeeze the network environment. The ideal downloadable software for the public can be summed up in four words, "simple interface, no messy advertising, smooth operation, fast download speed". Unfortunately, these core experiences have perfectly prevented downloading software companies from making a profit. Downloading software companies want to make money, can only challenge the user's psychological bottom line again and again, make the user more and more disgusted with it, when found a better experience of new products, immediately unload the old people to replace the new.

Article 2. Copyright issues in European and American countries. For example, the Musicshare software developed by Napster was sued by the American Phonographic Association in December 1999, forcing Napster to shut down all song features in July 2001. And so on. There are countless similar copyright cases.

When seed downloading is extended to Europe and the United States, not only will it be difficult to make a profit by using the download function, but it will also lead to continuous prosecution by the stakeholders.

This was undoubtedly a loss-making business.

Wei Dongsheng was so bored that his balls hurt, hence he decided to go to the international market.

However, although Wei Dongsheng was unwilling to expend his energy to occupy the international market, he would not hand over the market to other competitors. As a result, Wei Dongsheng rejected the suggestion of producing the English version of the Spring and Autumn Software Company's Seed Download Divine Equipment, and anonymous made the English version of the Seed Download Divine Equipment.

Wei Dongsheng immediately took out the English version of the seed to download the Divine Artifact, and replied to the netizens: "OP is spreading the Chinese version already too late, the English version of the seed to download the Divine Artifact has already appeared. Look, this is a link to a British forum. "

After checking that the link was correct, a new uproar broke out on the forums. The English version of the God Equipment was released so quickly.
