Returning home, the Lin family had a big meal together. Lin Canghai and Wang Chulan were happy to see their daughter finally graduate.
"What's your plan, Xue'er?" Lin Canghai asked. "Are you going to find a job in Capital City?"
Lin Xue took a sip of cola and said, "No, Dad. I'm going to take charge of my brother's company."
Lin Canghai and Wang Chulan were stunned and turned to look at Lin Yun questioningly.
Being glared at by his parents, Lin Yun quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, you know that I am planning to open a company soon. I don't have time to manage it, as I have to study. Instead of hiring an outsider, why don't we let my sister take care of it?"
Lin Canghai frowned slightly and turned to Lin Xue. "Are you sure about this?" he asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, Dad," Lin Xue nodded firmly. "I've studied my little brother's products recently, and I found that they have great potential. As you might be aware, the agriculture industry has reached its peak. The electronics industry is a new blue ocean. Anyone who takes the first step into this will gain unimaginable profit."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Currently, the Federal States and Europe are vigorously investing in this. They are taking the lead and have already reaped huge profits from the market. On the contrary, our country has just started. It might be a bit late if we want to compete for market share with them."
Lin Canghai nodded slowly. Although he had no idea about technology, he understood the principle that the early bird catches the worm.
"Are you sure that Yun'er's products can compete with them?" he asked uncertainly. It wasn't that he didn't believe in his son, but rather that he was worried. No parent in the world wants to see their children fail.
"Yes, Dad," Lin Xue said with a confident smile. "My little brother's products are the most innovative in the world. No one has ever come up with them before. Of course, there will be more competitors later, but for now, he's the only one in the market. As long as we can take advantage of this, I am sure that we can become a whale in this ocean."
Lin Canghai turned to look at his son, as if he wanted to hear his opinion.
Lin Yun thought for a moment and explained, "Dad, I'm not being arrogant here, but I can tell you that my innovations are at the forefront of the world. Perhaps you don't know that I've just created new programming languages. They will be added to the official curriculum nationwide soon."
"What?" Lin Canghai and Wang Chulan exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Yun rummaged through his luggage and took out a few books before handing them to his parents. "Take a look at this."
Lin Canghai and Wang Chulan touched the books in a daze. Although they had no idea about programming languages, they were aware of how awesome this was.
"This is incredible," Wang Chulan muttered with a trembling voice. She was excited and proud of her son.
Lin Canghai carefully put the books down on the table and looked at Lin Yun. "You've made us proud, Son," he said in a deep voice.
Lin Yun chuckled and rubbed his arm, "Come on, Dad. I've got goosebumps now."
"Go for it. We can't help you both much, but we will try our best. Don't forget to tell us when you encounter a problem," Lin Canghai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dad," Lin Yun and Lin Xue said in unison. They were deeply touched to have such supportive parents.
The meal ended, and everyone returned to their rooms.
After washing up, Lin Yun checked the download count for Cloud Browser and discovered it had already reached 2,000. It was a terrifying number. After all, there weren't many internet users in the current era. And this was just one afternoon. He believed it would increase drastically in the following days.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun browsed through his inbox and saw another message from the Megasoft Company. He clicked it open and read it. Soon, his expression turned strange. It was actually a message from the founder of the company, Billy Doors.
"Bill Gates… Billy Doors." Lin Yun shook his head with a smile. He still couldn't get used to it. In this world, many famous people and companies around the world had different names from his past life. Bill Gates… No, Billy Doors was a prime example.
The message was simple; he wanted to buy Cloud Browser and also invited Lin Yun to work at his company. His words were so sincere that Lin Yun would definitely have been moved if it were back on Earth.
"Sorry, Mr.Gates. We're destined to be enemies in this life," Lin Yun said with a smile and quickly replied to the message. He first expressed his deep gratitude to Billy Doors for his sincere offer and then politely declined it while suggesting a possible cooperation.
After replying to Billy Doors, Lin Yun discovered a message from the Orange company's CEO, Steve Bobs. Lin Yun was stunned at first but then laughed slightly. Without a doubt, it was Steve Jobs from Apple.
Compared to Billy Doors, Steve Bobs didn't offer to buy Cloud Browser but sincerely invited him to discuss the technology behind it, including the new programming languages he had created.
"As expected from him. Perhaps Steve in this world is similar to the one on Earth," Lin Yun said to himself.
Steve Jobs was an admirable figure. Although people probably didn't want to work with him because of his extremely demanding personality, no one could deny his contribution to the tech world.
Lin Yun had read a lot of Steve Jobs' biographies, as well as his remarks on everything. He admired Steve Jobs very much for how uncompromising he was toward his goals. Without him, the iPod and iPhone wouldn't have become what they were—products that changed the entire world.
To this admirable person, Lin Yun sincerely replied to his message and expressed his willingness to have a discussion at any time. However, it could only be conducted online, as he didn't want to travel abroad at the moment.
Lin Yun also discovered many messages from top companies around the world. He simply grouped them and replied to them all together.
Knock!
"Brother, can I go in?"
