Restore the start of the year: "Network ants" cock silk reverse after the gorgeous turn

Editor's note: The author's life three drugs for the well-known web site and web game company founder, previously for it-type media senior editor, witnessed the early development of China's Internet.

The main theme of the Internet in China in 1998 is downloading. Over 90% of the country's Internet traffic comes from a group of early computer enthusiasts, desperate to download software from abroad, from limited Chinese export bandwidth. 33.6 of the modem is most likely to encounter the problem is off the line, hard to download 2-3 hours of 20M files, but also to download again.

So the highest number of software, not ICQ (chat software), nor foxmail (mail client), not even Netscape (Netscape browser), but download software, but the old overseas download software in the domestic once disconnected, slow speed and download will make people extremely irritable.

Soon, a Chinese state of the download Software "network ants" emerging. Internet ants are the world's first software that uses multiple points to download and support breakpoints.

I've always thought 1998-2000 was the golden age of Chinese programmers ' personal heroes. At that time, plagiarism is shameful, often can see the individual heroes to one person to shake the big company, and alone to win the scene. For example, Foxmail directly replaces Microsoft's Outlook, and author Zhangxiaolong is now the father of a familiar micro-trust, Huabiao directly and Excel openly.

One of the most original, is the world's first multi-point download function software-"network ants." After the FlashGet, and then to renowned thunder, you can see by the network ant to create the shadow of the download software era, even the "Network + Animal" Naming method, also popular in the software industry.

So, H-June, as the author of Network ants, is definitely my 10 years as the media have seen the most talented cock silk, not one.

1998-1999, Internet Software only one way to make money: looking for VCs, so the 1998-1999 popular software in the subsequent Internet tide, are all kinds of VC acquisitions. In the dotcom boom of the 1999, when the young impetuous I always to the internet to pose, non-stop to the H-June introduction and send a variety of wind investment information, he always smiled without words, unmoved. And the most dramatic is that I have witnessed, today's rivers and lakes, the same day in the humble abode when the invitation to the H-June business, was the H June flatly refused. In the second half of 2000 years, the bubble burst, the 1998-1999 software heroes have entered a period of silence, although later, like Zhangxiaolong such a comeback, but most heroes are gradually rare in the mainstream media.

2000 years later, the rise of Hou Yendong's flashget greatly surpassed the power of internet ants. Network Ant's Long not update let me worry, so and H June said this thing, H June said, "Hou Jun write this software, a lot of questions to ask me, I try to tell, I am ready not to update the network ants," because he found in foreign countries to write share software overseas sales road.

At this time I know, h June is the earliest embedded click Ads, then rely on the network ant embedded DoubleClick Click Ads, has earned the first bucket of gold. When all the shareware in China are looking for a way out for profit, H-June is keenly aware of the fact that China's huge number of users, cleverly using the flow of cash. And this idea until 2004-2005, Hao123 by Baidu acquisition, is widely known. Whenever I see, now all kinds of internet marketing means, to flow as the ultimate goal, think of H-June ahead of the idea, not by feeling!

H-June has the first bucket of gold, life has not changed too much. He continued to do the overseas sharing of software. By the year 2001, Csdn's "shareware author-Zhou Yi's Road to success" began to explode, with the authors referring to the story of a 50,000-dollar monthly income-sharing software. I knew that H-June had turned to the new business ahead of time.

2006, a good programmer friend life distress, I asked H June to help, in H June's meticulous guidance, just to Shanghai can not afford to rent the programmer, relying on their own diligence and efforts, six months after the software, has been able to bring him tens of thousands of of dollars in income. And the selfless sharing of all this experience is H-June.

Gradually, h June began to fade out of the IT industry. I was working in the city where H-June was, so we talked every few months. His interest at the time began to turn to the stock market, and through 1-2 years, H-June gradually shifted to fixed-income investments. He used his technical background to create a set of fixed income investment model, which involves the convertible bond, corporate bonds and other products. With some of the experience of chatting with him, I made a small profit in the past few years of the stock market slump. The deepest impression was that some of his ideas at the time became the so-called investment celebrities on some micro blogs, and what the fund managers were trying to preach.

H June in the accumulation of money seems to have been uninterrupted, but what I really admire is that he regards money as a tool, but not slaves. 2008, when invited to the lake of the big guy let me find H June, said willing to contribute 100 million to revive the network ant, h June calmly said, network ant source code I can give you, but I want to do free things.

H June unprepossessing, always appear mature, if not and he contact very deep, it is difficult to find that he has a keen insight into the heart. H-June and I talked about his fun: focus on enjoying what one person can do.

I always thought H-June's story will not end so, perhaps in a certain year, he will create those who have never existed miracles.
