Chapter 126 Unexpected Visitors

"Yong Rui is really, he speaks without thinking. If he messes up the press conference, even if Mr. Du doesn't scold him, I will make him lose fruit!"

Du Qiu heard Xiao Wu around him change his name to Xu Yongrui. Although his tone was fierce, his words were full of protection. He noticed the ambiguous feeling and said with a smile: "Go back and take a few of the company's discarded keyboards and let him kneel on the keyboard tonight, otherwise he would not be allowed to go to bed."

"What are you doing when you kneel on the keyboard..." Xiao Wu was a little uneasy and went off the point, but he quickly reacted and complained with shame and annoyance: "Mr. Du, why are you more unreliable than Yongrui? Just talk nonsense!"

Du Qiu and Xu Yongrui were very familiar with each other. They knew that he was just used to speaking in daily life and did not deliberately target netizens. The situation was indeed the case. Before Jiang Danfeng could come on stage to save the scene, he took the initiative to explain the difference between online platforms and applications.

"The operating system and database are platforms, and infrastructure such as highways and reservoirs are not charged for walking on highways and swimming in reservoirs. However, if you drive or fish, you will have to charge for it. Highways and reservoirs will attract population gathering and form a complete ecosystem..."

Xu Yongrui has a wide range of interests and a flexible mind. He is the person who has the most frequent contact and use the Internet within Snapdragon. Under Du Qiu's influence, he is familiar with the business model that will only be available in the future era of Internet development. After explaining, he popped his finger and said arrogantly: "This knowledge was originally the company's business secrets, but it doesn't matter to tell you, because even if you know, you will not be able to imitate, and you will not be able to compete with Snapdragon."

This guy is good-looking, eloquent, elegant, and has a lot of quotations. He is very charming. This arrogance not only did not arouse the disgust of the audience, but instead felt that he was very chic, especially the Snapdragon employees, who all felt honored and excited.

After deducting such a short episode, the entire press conference was quite perfect. Although the explanation was very dull, fortunately, no one in charge of the demonstration made any mistakes. The machine was also very powerful, and it was always stable and there were no problems. The installation and debugging were completed very smoothly.

After Xu Yongrui finished his explanation, all the lights were lit up in the screening hall. Du Qiu personally plugged the phone line and modem into the computer, dialed it up and connected to the Internet, officially activated "China.com". Then he randomly selected 5 reporters and 5 netizens to board the rostrum, and used a spare laptop and telephone line to access the homepage to verify that the server was indeed running stably.

In the original time and space, China.com was founded by a Hong Kong businessman named Ye Keyong. He took advantage of the eagerness of Xinhua News Agency to transform into a market economy in the 1990s and colluded with the Hong Kong branch to fabricate a "Guozhong.com Plan", intending to isolate mainland China from the Internet and screen and sell information through administrative monopoly to make money.

After the launch of Internet access services in China in January 1995, the Guozhong Net plan failed. Ye Keyong continued to use the signatures and resources of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong Branch to acquire them in 1997 and package them into China. Then he went to Wall Street to promote the concept of China. He went to Nasdaq in 1999 and raised $500 million in funds within 8 months, becoming a role model for Sina, NetEase and Sohu, stimulating these three major portals to rush to go public in the United States in 2000.

China.com is the biggest laughing stock in the Internet industry in the early 21st century. It started earlier than others, had deeper backgrounds than others, and had abundant funds than others, but it made a lot of tricks and invested randomly. In 2000 alone, it acquired more than 50 companies and burned hundreds of millions of dollars, but it did not produce any results. In 2006, it failed to bet with venture capital funds and had a lawsuit for more than a year, and actually applied for bankruptcy protection. Moreover, Ye Keyong's character also had problems. He cheated and did everything, and became synonymous with candids and fools in the industry. It has a very poor reputation and is notorious...

It is precisely because of Ye Keyong's precedent that Du Qiu promised that when he was recruiting Liu Yunlai, he would make a promise that he would become a billionaire before 2000. After all, Ye Keyong was just a Hong Kong businessman, and for Xinhua News Agency, he was a miscellaneous army hired. Liu Yunlai was a regular army with a straight line and received more resources. With the support of the Time Travel Party, it was difficult to fail.

China.com's domain name is very good and has a very market gimmick. Du Qiu simply registered first, took advantage of the opportunity of this Internet conference to advertise, browse the brand of China's first news portal, and handed it to Liu Yunlai to operate, and wait two years later to go out independently, get the Nasdaq listing, and fool Americans' money.

Because of limited time, Yuan Tiangang, who was responsible for demonstrating web design software, made a very simple homepage and adopted the most common layout. The top is a red banner with the name of China.com, and the left side is the column title, namely domestic news, international news, financial overview, current affairs review, social situations, readers' world, and the right side is the place to display the content, but there is currently no news, only one lyrics of "I Love You China".

"Brother Liu, you should be the first registered user." Du Qiu opened the web page with the ivie browser, handed the mouse to Liu Yunlai, and said with a smile: "It has memorable significance, get a better id."

Liu Yunlai was not polite. Under the witness of reporters and netizens, he clicked on the reader world and registered an id called "Little Trouble". This is his son's nickname. Sun Shaojie is one of the five reporters who took the stage. Seeing this, he smiled and held the camera and took seven or eight photos in a row.

After the registration was completed, Liu Yunlai raised his laptop high and showed the page of successful registration to the audience. The entire screening room immediately heard extremely lively applause and discussion.

"I thought the Internet was very complicated, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. I went back and studied it carefully and set up a website at home."

"Yesterday, I heard from someone that you can sell 20,000 yuan if you help a foreign trade company to make a web page. I don't know if the web design software is sold now? If it is sold, I will buy one later. After learning, I will earn some private money and spend money on part-time jobs."

Jennifer wore a T-shirt that only Snapdragon employees had and a black baseball cap. She sat in a very low profile in the corner to the right of the back row of the screening room, and said to a man with an eastern hole beside her: "Dr. Huang, what do you think of the several products Snapdragon released today?"

"This is a complete set of Internet solutions that can be recorded in history, and it is very likely to rewrite the future of the world's software industry." The man was very familiar with computer technology and had a very accurate vision. He said in fluent English: "Snapdragon's strength is much stronger than I thought. Even Microsoft cannot produce such an excellent product in such a short time."

"Not Microsoft?"

"Microsoft lacks Internet talents and has made no achievements in eB servers." The man looked at the Snapdragon executive standing in a row holding hands on the rostrum and thanked the audience. His face unconsciously showed his charm and said, "Du Qiu may be the best Internet genius in the world. The kqueue and jail technologies he developed for the operating system are very innovative, especially kqueue, which has made the performance of the Ceyron eB server software leap forward."

"Will Cy Young have an impact on Netscape's products?"

"It will definitely be. Both technology and performance are more advanced than Netscape's, and it is free and open source, with almost no cost. After Ceyron's official release, Netscape's stock price may plummet."

Jennifer said softly and asked again: "Does this Cy Young have an impact on the browser market? For example, it has been optimized specifically for the ivie browser, restricting the access of Netscape's navigator browser, etc."

"No, Cey Young is open source. If you make trouble in the code, you will be seen and modified. Besides, Du Qiu has a big picture and there is no need to do such a petty thing."

At this time, Jiang Danfeng on the stage announced that the press conference was officially over and the audience could leave. Jennifer stood up and said, "Dr. Huang, I know that Chinese people like to discuss business at the dinner table. I will have to have a dinner with Du Qiu later. Maybe I have to discuss technical content. I want to ask you to be my consultant, okay?"

"If it's convenient, of course, I just happen to want to get to know Du Qiu."

It was already 12:30 at the end of the product launch. After Du Qiu was having an expert and a reporter at the entrance of the screening hall, he rushed to the booked hotel and was so hungry that he could eat a cow. When he pushed open the door of the private room and saw Dr. Huang beside Jennifer, he was slightly stunned because he had heard this person's academic speech before traveling through time. Although he was 20 years younger, he could still recognize him at a glance.

How could this great god come to Yuncheng?

If only he could be dug up...
