Chapter 21: Internet Cafe? Dead End

Woohoo~

Accompanied by the whistle of the train, a train from Chang'an to Yanjing slowly drove out of the platform.

Sitting on the lower berth of the soft sleeper carriage and looking at the city fading away outside the window was a good experience for Su Yan.

In the era before the advent of high-speed rail in later generations, trains were almost the best choice for most Chinese people to travel. Cars were too slow and planes were too expensive. Green trains were the representative of my country’s transportation back then. The Spring Festival travel rush of that year could be said to be truly difficult to get a ticket. beg.

Sitting on the bed at this time, feeling the bumps coming from the train, Su Yan suddenly felt like the atmosphere of the times, in other words, hypocritical.

The reason why he did not choose to take a plane was entirely due to Su Yan's fear that his life was no longer under his control. In his last life, if he needed to go on a business trip, Su Yan's first choice would definitely be the high-speed rail.

The first choice is to drive, but as for flying, that is almost not among his options.

Looking at the rapidly receding houses and farmland outside the window, Su Yan was constantly thinking wildly in his mind.

China's entry into the World Cup this year and the championship of next year's World Cup can tell Jiu Qiansui and Qian Shao, as well as the future of Bitcoin and the future property market.

For these two friends, since I can do it all over again, why not give them a fortune?

At the same time, Su Yan also began to constantly recall some general trends in future generations in his mind. Next, it was time to start planning, and he could not help but be cautious.

After all, many things in future generations cannot be taken for granted, just like whether Alibaba is in your hands or in Jack Ma's hands, there may be two different outcomes.

Moreover, the birth of many bats is due to the factors of the times. If you take out something too early, you may not know how it died.

Just like Douyin, which was launched in 2016, if you took it out in the 2000s, you would be completely seeking death. Regardless of whether you can develop it, the matching hardware "smartphone" alone is enough to kill you.

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.

Just when Su Yan was thinking, the train suddenly stopped, accompanied by a burst of announcement... The station has arrived, passengers getting off the train, please take your belongings with you.

With the sound of the soft sleeper door opening, a saluting figure appeared in front of Su Yan. After placing the saluting figure under the bed, he sat down on the lower bunk opposite Su Yan.

The girl on the lower bunk opposite has short hair and looks quite capable, but her delicate facial features give people a stunning androgynous beauty.

If Su Yan had to describe her, she would be the Chinese version of Kristen Stewart.

When she noticed that Su Yan was looking at her, the short-haired girl just gave Su Yan a friendly smile. After all, her appearance seemed strange to many people.

Su Yan nodded to the girl as a greeting, then looked out the window and began to clear his mind.

After all, he is just a passerby.

The girl also opened her bag directly and started to sort out her belongings.

With the sound of the whistle, the train restarted and headed towards Yanjing.

At this time, in the closed environment of the carriage, Su Yan also felt tired. Coupled with the bumps of the train, Su Yan felt sleepy.

In a daze, Su Yan heard a sound of typing on the keyboard. Although the sound was not loud, Su Yan, as an old coder, could still tell that it was definitely the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Hearing the familiar knocking sound, Su Yan couldn't help but open his eyes, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

I saw the girl opposite, sitting cross-legged on her bed, with a business notebook on her knees, and the sound of tapping came from the computer keyboard from time to time.

As if sensing that Su Yan was awake, the typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

"Did I disturb you?"

The girl's clear voice came from the bed opposite, and there seemed to be a hint of apology in her tone.

Su Yan looked at the apologetic girl, shook his head and smiled, then looked at the computer in her hand, "Programmer?"

Ji Xue said to Su Yan, "Ji Xue, Yenching University of Science and Technology."

Su Yan was indeed a little surprised that the girl in front of him was a student of Yanjing University of Science and Technology.

Yanjing University of Science and Technology is also considered one of the top ten colleges in computer science. However, Su Yan did not know until he went to Yanjing in his previous life that the best computing department was Yanjing Post University.

Of course, this is comprehensively speaking. The top one is of course Tsinghua University. However, in the past ten years, people who graduated from the Postal University accounted for nearly half of the top Internet companies at home and abroad. As for the career

It goes without saying how many units there are.

It can be said that Postgraduate University is the cradle of domestic Internet talents.

"Su Yan, I'm going to Beijing on a business trip."

Su Yan also said politely.

"By the way, I saw you were busy just now. Are you programming?"

"No, I'm just doing summer research. It's a pity that the Internet cafes in my hometown can provide too little data, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to Yanjing again soon after the vacation."

Speaking of this, Ji Xue couldn't help but sigh.

"You seem to be very interested in Internet cafes."

Su Yan also didn't expect that Ji Xue, a top student, would be interested in Internet cafes.

"Internet cafes are an emerging industry, and the country is vigorously promoting and developing the Internet. In the future, the number of Internet cafes nationwide may reach 50,000."

"You really dare to think about fifty thousand families."

Hearing Ji Xue's words, Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless.

Hearing Su Yan's words, Ji Xue was immediately unhappy and began to refute.

"There will only be more Internet cafes across the country in the future, and I even predict that the number of Internet cafes nationwide may exceed 100,000 in the future. With the development of China's Internet industry, the number of Internet users will definitely continue to increase, and in such a large country,

Given the population base, only hundreds of thousands of Internet cafes can meet the needs of our country's Internet users."

...

Seeing the girl's determined look, Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless.

"The current broadband costs in our country have been reduced to 2,000 years. In the future, broadband usage fees may be reduced significantly. It may even be impossible for every household in rural areas to have access to broadband in a few years.

"In addition, the popularity of personal computers will become a general trend sooner or later."

As Su Yan, who has experienced the later Internet era, said directly.

"Judging from the current per capita income of urban and rural residents in our country, what you said should be difficult to achieve. After all, the current usage fee for a computer and broadband is simply not something that ordinary families can afford."

"It is true that ordinary families cannot afford computers in the past two years, but the speed of computer replacement is very fast. The faster the speed, the greater the price reduction. Last year, a computer cost 8,000 yuan, but this year it can cost 5,000 yuan.

Buy it. This is still a brand-name computer, and if it is assembled, the price is lower. So it is only a matter of time before the price of computers drops. Of course, the price reduction will only be for obsolete products, but even those computers that have been obsolete by brands should be enough to meet the most basic needs.

The computer is used."

"What's more important is policy."

When she heard Su Yan talk about the policy, Ji Xue was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she reacted.

However, Ji Xue was obviously still a bit stiff when she said, "The policy may not necessarily have a big impact on Internet cafes."

"What if minors are prohibited from accessing the Internet?"

Su Yan's words exploded in Ji Xue's mind like a bomb.
