Ten years ago, in 1993, when Gore, then Vice President of the United States, first proposed the concept of information highway, most Chinese people had never seen computers. Ten years later, the number of Chinese netizens has exceeded 70 million, ranking second in the world.
On these special days, SARS blocked people's travel and shopping, but made online life more exciting.
The total daily page views of Huafeng.com's SARS special report reached more than 6 million, and the number of news visits has also surged. In order to cope with the explosive growth of new users, the Internet service department of Fan Investment Group had to urgently increase 18,000 access points, and the sales of the online shopping department also exceeded 60 million yuan within ten days, setting a new domestic record for online shopping.
Although it is not certain whether this means that the spring of the Internet, which the industry has been looking forward to for a long time, is coming, but it can be imagined that the heads of major portals may be secretly happy when they are suffering from SARS.
Due to SARS, software engineers on many websites work at home, which is also a common way for many Internet companies to protect their employees. White-collar workers and petty bourgeoisie have finally realized their dream of working in pajamas and slippers.
The recruitment meeting for college graduates was changed to online. The digital face-to-face meeting made graduates who were worried that SARS would affect their job searches no longer sigh at the wrong time. The number of people chatting online has increased, and some people say that maybe this will create another peak of online dating.
With the suspension of classes in Beijing on April 25, 1.7 million primary and secondary school students began to suspend classes, and online learning platforms based on Beijing Education Information Classroom Online and Renmin University Affiliated High School, 101 Middle School, Yucai School, and Beijing No. 5 Middle School as the main body, online learning platforms have become the main way for primary and secondary school students to learn.
The first batch of websites of Peking University Affiliated Primary School, which were suspended, were filled with words and sentences of communication between children and teachers. When reading such real words in the online space where the virtual and real were not distinguished, netizens were deeply moved to tell each other, so the number of visits to this website originally used for internal communication was greatly exceeded that of the ability to bear, and they had to urgently change the server.
Fan's investment group's network equipment business can be said to be very popular. While preventing the SARS epidemic, the staff of the sales department have increased their efforts in online ordering. Every day, various supporting products are continuously sent from here and delivered to users as quickly as possible through Fan's investment group's logistics department.
In this season when most people are unwilling to go out, express delivery companies suddenly become very in short supply. Several major express delivery companies under Fan Investment Group, which have been established for many years, are growing at a high rate that others cannot guess. It is not an exaggeration to make money every day, or even more so.
However, the headquarters of Fan's Investment Group is still busy. The employees here can be said to be hiding in the building and being unified, completely isolated from the outside world. They are responsible for the coordination and management tasks of branches and independent enterprises across the country, and are completely using computer networks for management at this time.
When Fan Wubing and Shen Ying appeared in the headquarters building, it caused a sensation. After all, at this sensitive moment when the situation is unknown, the boss was able to personally guide the work and fight with the front-line employees. It was a clear expression of attitude.
After visiting the working environment of Fan's Investment Group's headquarters, Shen Ying discovered a problem. The ventilation equipment in each room here is actually independent. Perhaps due to the SARS outbreak in Taoda Garden, Hong Kong, all non-independent ventilation facilities of Fan's Investment Group have been urgently renovated to avoid cross-infection in the entire building.
"Your work is done really well." Shen Ying said to Fan Wubing with a smile.
"It's okay, in short, you can't fall behind others." Fan Wubing replied.
Then they looked at various departments at work together and expressed their condolences to everyone. At the same time, they also sent the preventive drugs just given by Fan Wubing's teacher Mr. Fan Tianlan. These were all prepared prescriptions, packaged decoctions made by Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Group urgently, and then transported them directly through Fan's Airlines channels.
When the employees saw the factory date on the packaging, they immediately understood that the drug was just made yesterday and sent to their hands from thousands of miles today. They were immediately excited and thought that it was worth working with such a boss. Not only was the first-class treatment and benefits, but when encountering problems, the boss could also think of the employees first.
"Those who can enter the headquarters of Fan's Investment Group can be said to be super white-collar workers." Shen Ying felt a little moved after walking around.
Although Shen Ying's Brahma Chuangshi Online Game Company can be regarded as a leader in the industry and a gathering place for industry elites, there is still a certain gap compared with the headquarters of Fan's Investment Group.
"White-collar worker?" Fan Wubing smiled immediately after hearing this.
Most of the white-collar workers at this time were no longer as glamorous as before.
A few years ago, white-collar workers were still an identity that everyone in the whole society envied. They refer to the kind of professional and technical personnel working in high-end office buildings. They are characterized by high education and high income. Especially foreign-funded enterprises in office buildings, and are also bases where white-collar workers gather.
White-collar workers in ordinary people mean decent work, elegant cultivation, and rich spiritual experience. In a sense, white-collar workers can simply become synonymous with fashion.
They must graduate from prestigious universities, even master's, doctoral or returnees, check in from nine to five every day, sit next to the computer in the lattice, MSN, McDonald's, cappuccino, Dink, subway, call, economy class, stay in star hotels, go to bars, make phone calls, listen to blues, work overtime, Christmas, snooker, temporary residence permit. Red wine, 555, rent or mortgage apartment, buy simple IKEA furniture, collect
CD, talk about "Friends", yearning for Shangri-La, nostalgic in Lijiang, hardcore hikers, do not read Chinese newspapers or Chinese movies, read magazines such as "National Geography", "Famous Brands", "Reading", etc., read Kafka, watch Zhang Ailing, watch Iranian movies, cleanliness, nostalgia, fitness, yoga, raising Chihuahuas, perfume, clothes, shoes, bars, travel, flowers, buy books, buy CDs, watch movies, and the moonlight clan.
The emergence of white-collar workers is a typical phenomenon in the late stage of the development of China's market economy, proving that knowledge changes destiny.
However, most white-collar workers only appear in first-tier cities. Facing the eve of the WTO, these young people with culture and knowledge began to try a yuppie life in the middle class in developed Western countries.
Gentlemen and ladies are the life goals of young people full of these new ideas. "The Great Gatsby" and "Pride and Prejudice" are their must-read books, love, upbringing, culture, art, experience, and spiritual aristocrats deeply attract them.
A few years have passed, things have changed.
Looking back now, Fan Jin, who had won the excellence with the dream of a white-collar worker, had to accept the cruel reality of competing with the black peasant father when many college students excitedly stepped out of the gate of the advanced vocational training prison of university.
The former white-collar workers have grown old, bankrupt, unemployed, and divorced. When the white-collar workers are nurturing trade, advertising, real estate, IT and manufacturing industries are stormy and falling, the fragile white-collar workers suddenly realize that the once white and crisp neckline has been wrinkled by the cold sweat.
The old white-collar workers continue to hover in cities where prices and housing prices are soaring, standing at the foot of office buildings. Will he receive an interview notice today? The legend of white-collar workers fell like this.
At the same time, a mysterious social group has taken away all the light of China. They drive "own" large-displacement brand sedans, enter and exit high-end restaurants, high-end nightclubs, ride in first-class cabins or soft sleepers, live in star-rated hotels, have several luxury houses with golden locations, buy a full set of mahogany furniture, the best location, the best landscape, the most luxurious decoration, the safest quality office building to work, independent offices, no clock in, dinner parties, meetings, and drink Maotai Wuliangye

"Is there such a good thing?" Even Shen Ying felt a little shocked after hearing this.
"Of course there is, not only there, but it is even better than what I said." Fan Wubing replied with great certainty.
As Fan Wubing said, they are the emerging black-collar class that blossomed everywhere in first-tier, second-tier and third-tier cities in China and were fully developed.
Compared with clean and innocent white-collar workers, their clothes are black, their cars are black, and their faces are black. Their income is hidden, their life is hidden, and their work is hidden. The so-called hidden means being like a man in black standing in the dark night. You know he exists, and he also knows he exists, but you don’t know what he is like and what he is doing?
They are the huge group of people working in government and officials with monopoly enterprises.
In just a few years, Guanyou Buildings has repeatedly refreshed the heights of all Chinese cities. In front of the glorious and magnificent official office buildings, commercial office buildings were immediately suppressed with stinginess and shabbyness.
From the perspective of floor area ratio, supporting facilities, decoration and other aspects, all kinds of "big pants" have risen from the ground, becoming the "bird's nest" of urban black-collar upstarts. The white-collar workers and his OFFICE have been covered by the black-collared pants.
