"correct."

When Jimmy was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Our deep space bbs already provides the MUD function, and you can log in with the method. You can go shopping when you have nothing to do... Do you want me to get you a computer?"

Make the network better?"

"I'll ask Jiang Jie to help me do it. How many users are registered in Deep Space bbs now?"

"I saw fifty-eight yesterday. They are basically employees of our company, as well as their relatives and friends. But I believe there will be many people soon."

"Okay, I understand. I will also register an account later and go up and play. By the way -"

Yu Dong also suddenly remembered something, that is instant messaging software.

He rarely thought about these things before, but recently Jimmy cooperated with Ingram and swallowed Amazon, which also made his mind active.

"Can we make an instant messaging software?"

"instant message applications?"

"It is a software that allows people to communicate quickly on the Internet."

"Oh, you said this, it already exists in the United States, and it seems to be developing well."

"Yes?" Yu Dong said in surprise, "So fast?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't you mention this kind of software in "Second World"? They should have been inspired by the novel. However, the gap between the software they designed and the functions you described is still very big.

Much less... And there is more than one such thing. I know of three. One of them is developing better, but the other two are not good at all. The main reason is that there are still fewer Internet users. I estimate that it will be better in another year or two.

a lot of."

"..."

Yu Dong felt that this thing did not match his memory.

Instant messaging software should not have appeared so early, and it should have developed rapidly as soon as it appeared. It will not be like Jimmy said, but the development is not bad.

From this point of view, it is really "Second World" that has had an impact on history.

Mainly because Yu Dong himself didn't know much about this aspect and thought the technology was quite difficult. He didn't expect that someone could figure it out after it was mentioned a little bit in the novel.

"However, we can try to make one in China. I looked at those software and they are all in English, and there is no other language market." Jimmy said.

"Is it difficult?"

Jimmy smiled and said, "It's not technically difficult. I personally think that this thing mainly depends on the operation and function selection. Users will choose whoever makes it easy to use. I feel that the three software ideas I saw are all wrong.

, they like to pile on some inexplicable functions and lose the original meaning of this type of software."

"Since you have a different idea, why not get one in the United States?" Yu Dong asked.

"We don't have the energy anymore. The main reason is that we need to fight with those software in the United States. Our current multi-line combat capability is not enough. It is better to focus on China. Here we can slowly deploy. Wait until later, others

If we want to enter again, we have the ability to protect the plate. At that time, we not only had the advantage of entering the market first, but also our fighting ability became stronger. I am confident that even if any software from the United States stands out later, it will not be able to do it under our noses.

Enter the Chinese market below.”

"Of course, many people now look down on the Chinese market." Jimmy added.

Yu Dong nodded. This is also the difference between Jimmy and Jimmy. He has been in China for more than ten years and understands China's development potential better than most Chinese people.

…

Not long after Jimmy left, Yu Dong went to Hu Changqing's office.

Seeing Yu Dong, Hu Changqing smiled and teased, "How come you, a newlywed, have time to come to my place?"

Hu Changqing's office is decorated like a garden, with flowers and plants from all seasons. Sometimes he will send some of the flowers and plants he grows to other offices.

For example, in the large office where Yu Dong is located, there are several pots of gardenias and spider plants given by Hu Changqing.

Yu Dong also made fun of Hu Changqing before, saying that the teacher is a gardener, but he is the real gardener.

Sitting down between two pots of small pine trees, Yu Dong smiled and said, "I'm here to share some good news with you."

"What good news? Has the copyright of one of my novels been sold?" Hu Changqing became excited when he heard it was good news.

"Secretary Hu, could you please stop thinking about selling copyrights every day?"

Hu Changqing shook his head and sighed, "I don't think so. I recently heard that IBM has released a laptop that can support multimedia processing. I'm a little excited. I don't know the specific price, but it must be very expensive. Without selling some copyrights, I can't afford it."

Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, Lao Hu was spending money faster than him.

If it weren't for getting married, Yu Dong would spend a little money on nothing except buying books and getting some four treasures of the study. Oh, he also bought a Steinway for his wife last time, which cost a little money.

"The copyright has not been sold, but the news I am telling you this time is also related to computers. Deep Space has set up a forum, and you can go surfing there when you have nothing to do."

"Surfing?"

"Just go online."

"Don't tell me, this word is quite vivid. I have never heard anyone say it before. How many people are there on this forum?"

"It's not that many people. When you go there, there will be more people."

"I'm going, there's just one more person."

"You are the famous science fiction writer Fushui. When you show up, are you afraid that no one will come by?"

"Just leave me alone. I'm more interested in hardware than the Internet... We can talk about surfing when we have time."

"Okay, anyway, I have informed you." Yu Dong clapped his legs and stood up, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask Jiang Jie."

Jiang Jie is now not only Yu Dong's assistant, but also has the job of contacting other writers in Jinyi. Therefore, in addition to Yu Dong, Yu Hua and others also come to Jiang Jie when they have something to do.

After leaving Hu Changqing's office, Yu Dong returned to his apartment. Cheng Yanqiu had classes this morning, so the heavy responsibility of cooking fell on Yu Dong.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The couple agreed that if anyone has time, they will come back to cook, and if they don’t have time, they will go to the cafeteria to eat.

Usually, Yu Dong has more time because he has very few classes. Unlike Cheng Yanqiu, who now teaches both vocal music and piano, he is very busy all day long.

As soon as Yu Dong finished washing the rice, the phone rang. He wiped his hands and ran over to answer the phone, and the teacher Hu Yueming's voice came over.

"I was also thinking that you might not be at home. When I called you before, no one answered the first time."

"I'm not at home every day. Teacher, if you can't get through on the landline, just call me on my mobile phone."

"That thing has a two-way charge. It's not cost-effective. It's not an urgent matter that can't wait. I'm calling you this time to tell you something. President Wu Shuqing of Yanda University asked me for your number. I'll give it to him in a moment.

Before he does it, let me tell you what he wants from you."

"Well, tell me, teacher." Yu Dong was a little surprised. Why is Yan University looking for him?

"Didn't Baodao hold some kind of trilateral literary exchange meeting at the beginning of the year? Yanda University is also interested in holding a cross-strait Chinese literature symposium. Wu Shuqing came to you just for this matter."

"What kind of symposium is suitable for me to attend?"

The reason why Yu Dong asked this was because he was a writer outside the system. The last time Wang Meng called him to tell him about proposing that he join the Writers' Association, it had not happened yet.

Not only was he nowhere to be seen, Wang Meng had also called Yu Hua before, but the message was also unavailable and he didn’t know what the specific situation was.

As a writer outside the system under the age of thirty, he should not be considered for such forums.

"Who is suitable if you are not suitable? And Yu Hua may be invited this time. You have made quite a stir in the past two years, and they cannot ignore it."

"Who else is participating specifically?"

"I don't understand this. When Wu Shuqing calls you, you can ask him. Why, do you still want to see the dishes?"

Yu Dong smiled and said, "No, just out of curiosity."

"Okay, I just want to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared. You don't need to think too much about anything else."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong ran back to cook until Cheng Yanqiu went to class in the afternoon, but did not receive a call from Wu Shuqing.

However, Yu Dongdao has nothing urgent to do. During this period, he is planning to finish the novel he had not finished before and spend more time at home.

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the phone rang.

"Hello, are you Yu Dong?"

"Yes, I am Yu Dong, hello."

"Hello Yu Dong, I'm Wu Shuqing, the president of Yan University. I'm taking the liberty to call you. I won't disturb you."

"No, no, I happen to be at home."

"It's like this." Wu Shuqing said with a smile, "Yanda is planning to hold a cross-strait Chinese literature exchange meeting. At that time, some writers from the mainland and Taiwan will be invited to exchange ideas. The time will be probably November. I wonder if you have any

there is no time?"

"November... Principal Wu, I can't say for sure now, because I'm really busy recently."

Wu Shuqing on the other end of the phone was stunned. It seemed that the reputation of their school, Yan University, was not very useful here in Yudong.

He thought for a moment and then said, "This time we also invited Mr. Wang Zengqi."

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned Wang Zengqi, Yu Dong became interested, "Mr. Wang, are you going too?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang also went to the trilateral literary exchange meeting on Baodao at the beginning of the year."

Yu Dong thought for a while and asked, "Who are the people on Baodao?"
