Indos95 is about to be released, Silverberg is full of things and is very busy, so he is not ready to stay in China. After getting off the plane at Jingcheng International Airport, he stayed in the waiting room and waited for the latest flight to the United States.

Liu Yunlai, who came to pick him up, used Xinhua News Agency's signature as a guise to conduct a brief interview with him, asked some official clichés such as "Cooperation Outlook Evaluation of Snapdragon", and then said goodbye with Du Qiu and left. Du Jiabin also followed and asked: "Mr. Du, reporter Liu, can I take a free ride?"

"Welcome, welcome, honor is great." Liu Yunlai was driving a land cruiser. He enthusiastically opened the trunk and helped carry his luggage while complimenting: "Manager Du made great contributions to the cooperation between China and the United States software industry this time, solving Microsoft's urgent needs. I believe that when rewarding merits in the future, there will definitely be promotion and salary increase. Don't forget to treat you at that time."

"This time Brad came to talk about it personally. I am not worthy of the translation of the entourage," Du Jiabin stuffed his backpack into the trunk and said with a wry smile: "I don't think about promotion and salary increase. As long as the programmers in Zhongguancun scold me a few less, I will be satisfied."

"This matter is probably difficult." Liu Yunlai covered the lid of the trunk and said with a smile: "You have facilitated the cooperation between Microsoft and Snapdragon, which has made all computer companies in Zhongguancun lose face and the inside. They will definitely scold them even more."

"They can't make a browser, so what's the use of scolding me? I'm just a professional manager. Technology depends on strength to speak, and scolding cannot solve the problem."

"People who are petty are everywhere, Manager Du doesn't have to mind."

Liu Yun came to the airport to pick up Du Qiu with other important things, but because Du Jiabin was there, it was not convenient to have a deep conversation, so on the way back to the city, he only talked about current affairs gossip such as ******* suicide, **** resignation, and the Chinese scientific expedition team arrived in the Arctic. He was very talkative and well-informed, so that the two passengers could listen with relish and not be distracted.

After sending Du Jiabin to his destination, Liu Yunlai asked, "Where is Mr. Du going to live? Or Kempinski?"

"Brother Liu just calls me my name. I always come and go, not only shouting but also making a slap in my mouth." Du Qiu smiled and said politely, "I want to go to the Beijing Hotel. I heard that the food there is good."

"The Tanjia cuisine at the Beijing Hotel is indeed awesome." Liu Yunlai said while driving along the street with familiarity, "The article published in Outlook last attracted widespread attention and received a good response. They plan to sort out the remaining dozen articles and make a series of special topics. What do you think?"

"I'm sure I can't ask for it if I have the royalties."

"Outlook" is a large-scale current affairs, political and economic news weekly sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, and it is also the earliest news weekly in New China. Its circulation has always ranked first among domestic news weekly magazines and is one of the must-have publications for party and government departments in various places. After Du Qiu returned from Thailand, he gave Liu Yun a dozen manuscripts. "Outlook" published one of them in mid-May, which was about e-commerce.

E-commerce is blank in China at this time, but not in the United States. There were online mail order companies as early as the 1980s. In 1995, there were more than 3,000 shopping websites of all sizes, ranging from real estate to toys, air tickets to books, almost everything was included. Du Qiu's article was actually very simple, just introducing the basic concepts and business models of e-commerce, and then pointing out that the railway and highway transportation networks of large and medium-sized coastal cities in China have been basically completed. The key to restricting economic development is no longer transportation, but information interaction speed. It is advocated that Internet infrastructure construction should be vigorously promoted, accelerate information circulation, and prospered the market economy.

This theory itself is not a problem, but in fact it is a bit out of touch with the national conditions, because China's transportation facilities construction was very backward in 1995, and the transportation capacity of railways and highways was very tight, and it could not carry large-scale logistics and transportation. It was not until 2000 that the basic needs were almost met. However, just like Du Qiu could not wait for so long, bureaucrats in various places could not wait for so long. Railways and highway construction investments were high, construction periods were long, and slow to take effect. They involved all aspects of interests, and were a mess. Internet construction was much simpler. With only a few million investments, it could be opened in a few months. It catered to the newly released strategy of developing the country through science and education, and put on the cloak of promoting economic development with high technology, which was a shortcut to promotion and wealth.

This shortcut is especially true for bureaucrats in the postal and telecommunications department, because in 1994, ******* approved the institutional reform plan of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The General Postal Administration was separated from the administrative sequence of the agency and became a professional accounting enterprise bureau. In April 1995, China Telecom officially registered a corporate legal person. The split of postal and telecommunications has become a foregone conclusion. The split will inevitably bring chaos and opportunities. If we can use the rising Internet business to take the lead in advance and create new profit growth points, we will inevitably make a bigger cake in the future.

"Brother Liu, what's the response you said is very good. What's the best way to do it?"

"I had a meal with the boss of AsiaInfo a few days ago. He said that after the Internet in Beijing and Pujiang was launched in January, I only received business from three cities, but in the past half month, there have been more and more cities coming to them for consultation. More than a dozen cities want to open the Internet within the year."

AsiaInfo is the first company in China to provide Internet access services and the earliest Internet company listed on Nasdaq in China. They did the project to connect to the international Internet in Beijing and Pujiang in January 1995. Both founders of this company had a significant impact on the Chinese Internet industry. One later resigned and became the founder of Netcom and eO, and the other continued to stay at AsiaInfo, and undertook most of the contracts for the "Golden Shield Project" with a total investment of up to tens of billions of yuan, which is said to include firewalls.

Du Qiu had heard of this company for a long time and asked, "Brother Liu is very familiar with this company?"

"I have been studying the plan for the portal you proposed recently, so I have a lot of contact with people who are engaged in the Internet. I am not very familiar with them, I just know each other. Why do you have a business to talk to them?"

"There is no business, but there are very few companies in China that engage in Internet services now. They are all colleagues. They want to get to know each other and communicate with each other."

"How many days are you going to stay in Beijing? If you have enough time, I will help you. You are the most famous programmer in China now and are even more popular than Andy Lau in the industry. Many people want to see what you look like."

"I will go to the Japanese consulate to apply for a visa tomorrow. If I pass, I will go to Japan the day after tomorrow. If I fail, I will stay in the capital for a few more days." Du Qiu remembered another very famous company in the early Internet industry in China and asked: "I heard that China Telecom opened an Internet value-added service license to the outside world a while ago. Is it true?"

"That's true. A total of 5 companies have obtained licenses, four of which are in Beijing and one in Pengcheng."

"What businesses have those companies in Beijing carried out?"

"There is no business. Now it costs 20 yuan for an hour to surf the Internet. The phone bill is also calculated, and few people can afford it." Liu Yunlai parked his car at the traffic light and said: "One of them is called Yinghaiwei. They set up an email registration center in the United States, and then put the emails with computers and modems together. In essence, it is no different from those computers in Zhongguancun. It's just that there is an extra gimmick of emails, which has no technical content, which is far worse than your Snapdragon."

The famous Yinghaiwei actually does such a low-level business...

Du Qiu breathed and said, "The Internet fee is really too expensive now. If it can be reduced to 2 yuan per hour, it will be better. If the fee is reduced, the number of netizens will increase. Only with more netizens will the Internet industry prosper."

"China Telecom is a monopoly, without competition, and can't count the money. How can it reduce the Internet fee to 2 yuan?" Liu Yunlai shook his head, and then talked about what he was most concerned about, and asked: "Du Qiu, you said last time that if the operation is done properly, a portal website can be listed in the United States in three or four years. How to operate it?"

"Brother Liu, the portal website has different ways of playing. If you want to make a dollar, you only need a concept. You can definitely go public before 2000. If you want to do something, that's another matter."

"What's the concept?"

"In terms of concepts, you register a popular website name, for example, use the golden signboard of Xinhua News Agency to promote it in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, saying that if you want to be a Chinese Yahoo, you can easily raise tens of millions of dollars in funds, and then recruit a group of people to copy the news from major domestic newspapers online, and then find a few heavyweight leaders to inspect and visit, and it will not take long to go public."

Liu Yunlai thought to himself when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Where are you doing a career?"

"If you do a career, you can change jobs to Snapdragon." (.)
