Jim didn't know that his report would cause great shock to the teachers and students of Beijing University, and even gradually spread, and later it would cause shock to the major universities in Beijing. Although in the end, almost no one knew who "Bramble" was, this did not prevent Jing Jian from becoming an idol and legend of many students.

And the next day, Jim hurried back to the United States. The reason why he was so anxious was because the world's first portal, Blue Star. Ahem, there is no need to guess, this name also comes from Jing Jian's evil taste.

At this time, major American media have already been overwhelmingly advertising. For the promotion of Blue Star Network, the same publicity budget has reached 4 million US dollars.

At that time, inspired by pioneers such as Apple and Microsoft, there were actually as many computer companies in the United States, but most of them focused on technical research and development or detailed introductions of e-commerce products. In other words, computer companies paid too much attention to technology, but they were not enough to consumers. Bluestar Network was an exploration of the profit model.

After getting off the plane, Jim came to the company directly before the time difference was too late. He first asked the company's T-Makai: "How many users are currently applying?"

Ma Kai smiled and said, "It has exceeded 58,000. According to the growth trend, the online launch this morning can exceed 60,000. The only thing I worry about is user stickiness. I hope that in one month, I can guarantee more than 50,000 long-term users."

In addition to promotional advertisements, Bingshan Network also sent more than 100,000 CDs with registration pages, inviting customers to access the Internet for free for one month. It also promised that after the trial period, it would be easy to stay and stay. At this time, the Internet was used for "cats", and the Internet fee was expensive, which also attracted a large number of users who like to take advantage of the benefits. Of course, after the trial period expires, a lot of them will definitely be lost.

Jim felt a little relieved when he heard the publicity was good, but he was worried about another question: "Makai, is the server capacity enough?"

"It has been expanded to meet 100,000 users online at the same time. But this is only theoretical. I suggest expanding to 200,000 as soon as possible."

"Okay, I hope so too!" Jim smiled. He was not afraid of downtime, but he was afraid of insufficient users!

Gomez is a senior computer expert. He has always been interested in the latest developments in the computer IT industry. He has long been looking forward to the launch advertisement of Blue Star Network, founded by Bingshan Network. In the previous trial run, Gomez has become a registered user. So when it is officially launched at 9 o'clock, he can't wait to log in to the page.

After opening the page, Gomez frowned slightly, and the full text page looked dull. Due to bandwidth issues, there are few pictures and other content on the pages now, let alone audio, video, animation and other content.

On the main page, there are the top ten news of the day. Five are from the United States and five are from the world. Since Europe and the United States attach great importance to copyright, those who broadcast news like Blue Star Network can only purchase from major news agencies or media. So at the beginning, they simply won by quality. Blue Star Network spent a small amount of money every day to select the top ten news of the world that day.

After opening a news casually and browsing it roughly, Gomez suddenly found that a discussion box appeared under the news. After clicking to enter, he entered a place similar to a chat room. There were not many people entering. In addition, Gomez only had three users, and no one posted a discussion. After thinking about it, Gomez said casually, "Dreams and Passion!" Gomez didn't know that he was actually the first user to comment on Blue Star.com.

Gomez is still quite interested in the technical discussion area. Even in the online shopping area, Gomez bought a few white lotus products.

After browsing all, Gomez gave an evaluation: "Some of them are similar to BBS, and the creativity of classified chat rooms is a bit innovative. It seems to be very popular, and some are not true. That iceberg network seems to be just like this, right?"

In the eyes of many experts and technical elites, such websites seem a bit outrageous, and many even sneer at them. What kind of good company is that if you don’t make those computer novices dizzy? How can you highlight your own high profile? So Gomez’s evaluation is already very polite.

Bruno is a senior computer enthusiast who owned a personal computer very early on. His feelings were completely different. Suddenly, he found that the content of this website seemed to be all-encompassing. He felt as if he had entered a treasure house.

After thinking about it, Bruno posted two questions he had encountered recently in the special chat room. After a while, he got the answer from several enthusiastic "melon-eating crowds". Bruno's eyes suddenly lit up...

Paul is a computer novice. He just keeps up with the fashion, can't stand the students in the class showing off, and begged his parents to buy a computer. However, he is still confused about the use of the computer, and is nothing more than being attracted by advertisements or free discs. Today he clicked on Blue Star.com.

Following the instructions, Paul registered as an official user step by step and registered his email address. Finally, he successfully registered. With joy, Paul suddenly found that he had received an email in his email address.

With curiosity, Paul opened the email and saw a product advertisement. After browsing it roughly, Paul found several things he wanted, such as mouse pads, dust covers, etc. He found that his pocket money was enough, so Paul immediately placed an order online.

At the end of the email, there is an agreement attached to the user if he wants to use the email for free forever, he needs to receive such advertising emails. If he refuses, the email will be charged after the trial period expires.

Because the server capacity is very low at this time, many commercial emails are charged except for universities, research institutes and other internal networks. For Paul, he doesn’t have an email address anyway, so it’s good to use Blue Star. And it’s free, just a few advertisements? So what?

Then, Paul began to browse other content, and before he knew it, he was attracted by various sections...
