Massachusetts.
Sean has a sweet problem lately.
Perhaps because of his good performance recently, he has now been officially promoted to Minister of Information Technology.
A nominal position that sounds very prestigious.
There is no IT department in the entire company.
Although his salary and benefits have indeed increased, the work he usually does...
To put it simply, it's about fixing computers.
The accountant's PC was malfunctioning today, so he went to check what the problem was.
If someone's software gets a bug tomorrow, he'll have to help fix it.
What I did was basically maintenance work.
However, Sean himself was quite happy with it.
It's much easier than doing manual labor in the warehouse every day.
The only problem might be that he's a bit too idle, but he can't openly play games at work.
At most, when Yuli, the boss's daughter, came to the company to play, I would be half-heartedly dragged to the break room to play video games.
"No, no, I need to find something to do."
As a highly conscious and insightful individual, Sean was very clear about one thing.
If I continue in this state of being idle and helpless, sooner or later I will have to be transferred back to my original position.
I need to find a way to bind myself to this new position.
"But what should we do? We can't really just take everyone to play video games, can we?"
Sean casually made himself a cup of coffee, then reached for an IT magazine on the shelf and started flipping through it.
"World Wide Web?"
In the picture in the book, NeXT Chairman Steve Jobs and GAMENOVA Chairman Lin Lixin are standing on a PC.
He stood in front of a group of reporters, smiling, explaining what was on the screen.
Through the next picture, Sean finally saw what it was.
This is a webpage.
According to the book, you can see the exact same content by using the Neus Browser on any platform and visiting [].
That was a well-designed interface.
Although it was very simple, the name NEXUS was displayed in a large font, placed at the top center, making it particularly eye-catching.
Below are several content blocks that are divided into sections, which are basically introductions to the company NEXUS.
At the bottom, a clear contact number is listed, along with the pricing and ordering methods for NEXUS commercial network packages.
"Hum----"
Sean suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"Take the young master?"
The accountant, who was filling out vouchers in front of the computer, trembled and stared in astonishment.
"Uh... $7,000, including $6,500 for equipment and twenty software programs."
"Then you'll have to talk to the boss yourself."
I think so too.
Sean shrugged helplessly, hunched his shoulders, and knocked on Robert's office door.
"Please come in."
Ten minutes later.
After hearing Sean's audacious plan, Robert pondered for a long time.
To be honest, given his limited knowledge, he really had a hard time understanding the avant-garde things Sean was trying to tell him.
But his businessman's intuition told him that this might truly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"If I give you the equipment, can you do it yourself?"
"It should be fine."
Sean had no experience with these things; he hadn't even bought the software yet, so he couldn't guarantee anything.
Fortunately, the technology behind World Wide Web is completely open source and free; only the browser requires payment.
Unlike NovaEngine, I don't need to pay a large sum of money to purchase a license and learn how to use it.
"Hmm... then let's go all out and give it a try. We have to give it a shot."
Robert nodded, reached for the receiver on the intercom, and gave the accountant a few instructions.
A few days later, a brand new NeXT-Computer was delivered to their company.
Sean had spent several days engrossed in his research and had managed to figure out this magical HTML "Hypertext Markup Language".
It would have been better if he hadn't studied it. When he finally figured out what the core idea of World Wide Web was, an amazing idea was born in his mind.
He is now eager to put it into practice as soon as possible.
Sean's original plan was to build a website directly for the company's promotion.
Users can access their company's latest content without leaving home simply by visiting their website.
You can showcase your business and any new innovations on the website.
He could learn from Nexus and stick things like phone numbers on it.
But now, he has an even bolder idea.
Sean compared the content in the document and tried typing the first content tag, using the heading tag to automatically make it a large, bold font.
He then filled in the content for this title.
[Good123]
[Website Directory, Start Your Internet Experience Here]
Below the title, he began to try to divide the content into blocks, and filled the first block with new content.
This is a hyperlinked text block.
Its purpose is to automatically redirect users to the corresponding website when they click on it.
He set the link to [] and made it display the text "NEXUS".
After doing all this, Sean tried to deploy the website by following the instructions in the NeXT version of Neus.
Next, he used his browser to visit the website he had just created.
It was exactly as I had imagined: a large title followed by a smaller subtitle that described the website's features.
Below that was a standard-sized blue "NEXUS" text; Sean tried clicking it.
As expected, I was redirected to NEXUS's first global website.
"It can be done!"
Seeing that everything had been achieved so easily, Sean was overjoyed and quickly continued writing the follow-up content.
He has figured it out.
A company website is naturally needed.
But beyond that, he could even seize the current window of opportunity to create a navigation website.
He will then display all the websites he has collected from around the world on this navigation.
For newcomers to World Wide Web, this is an excellent starting point.
One week later.
Lin Lixin, who had already returned to GAMENOVA headquarters, suddenly received a report from NEXUS.
A website's traffic has been growing at an astonishing rate recently, and it's spreading like wildfire.
"Clam?"
Lin Lixin paused for a moment, then turned on his PC and tried entering the other party's website address.
Then, a website filled with various hyperlinks and redirects was displayed in front of him.
Good123, start your internet browsing journey here.
In the very center is a bolded link with a changed background color.
The text above reads, "[This website is sponsored by Robert Medical. Click to view details]"
Lin Lixin was redirected to the so-called "Robert Medical " website, which turned out to be a promotional website modeled after the NEXUS website.
"Wow, he's actually got some skills."
He scratched his head, realizing that this was precisely the advantage of completely removing the technological barriers of the World Wide Web.
The internet is developing at an alarming rate these days.
Correspondingly, orders for NEXUS's network services are also increasing rapidly.
This is far more profitable than engaging in any kind of monopoly.
"Or we might as well just help him out."
Lin Lixin rubbed his chin, dialed NEXUS's number again, and gave them a few instructions.
That day, all users who tried to access the NEXUS homepage noticed some changes.
A new link to Good123 has appeared in the content bar below.
