The Internet began in the United States in 1969, also known as the Internet, was originally used for computer connections between universities. Later, some companies and laboratories also joined in, and the scale of the network gradually expanded.
By 1992, companies that provided online network services to customers for the first time, such as email services, and the Internet entered the mass era.
China began to explore the Internet in 1987. In April this year, it has fully connected to the Internet and became the 77th member of the international Internet family. Hong Kong is relatively earlier, and some large companies were connected to the Internet last year. For example, several major companies under Kang Jianfei, middle and senior employees can use the Internet to send emails.
For young people in Hong Kong, this is a very fashionable thing. Some people even spend a high price to send emails just to experience that high-tech communication method.
Don’t think that Chen Boxiang is just an artist. This guy used to run a garment factory and earned tens of millions of dollars by doing business. At that time, it was the 1970s, and the annual box office champion of Hong Kong films was only 3 million.
Chen Boxiang is brave enough to try new things. Recently, he has been eyeing the Internet and has joined forces with Anita Mui, Tan Yonglin and others to create a celebrity information website.
Five years after its establishment, this website developed into Oriental Charming Company, and brought big stars such as Cheng Long to join the company. It successfully listed and raised funds in Hong Kong, with a market value of HK$2.5 billion. Oriental Charming Company experienced many reselling, and later split into two, developing into the famous Star Mei International and Han Media Group respectively.
When Chen Boxiang heard Kang Jianfei suddenly ask about the website, he felt a little embarrassed.
Nowadays, there are few ordinary Internet users. Chen Boxiang’s Oriental Charm Network is called the Star Information Website, but it is impossible to make a profit by posting gossip and information about celebrity news. To be precise, this website is actually a celebrity intermediary platform. Some companies can contact Chen Boxiang through the website and ask him to be an intermediary to invite celebrities to attend commercial activities.
To put it bluntly, it means that merchants and celebrities are directly in contact with each other and bypassing Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company to take on private jobs.
This is simply digging Kang Jianfei's corner. Now the main person is caught. Chen Baixiang is like a thief who appears, blushing with an old face: "Mr. Kang, I didn't expect you to be interested in the Internet too. That, I'm just a little bitch, and I will turn off the website when I go back."
As Chen Baixiang said, this is really a small fuss. The website's business is just to invite celebrities to cut ribbons and attend cocktail parties. He dare not take any real big orders for Chen Baixiang with ten courage.
Kang Jianfei had someone investigated, and of course he knew about this situation. He asked with a smile: "Is the Internet fun?"
"Funny," Chen Boxiang felt relieved when he saw Kang Jianfei was not going to pursue the matter, and said, "The Internet can not only send emails, but also play cards, chess and games. There is a game called "Night in Winterfell" that is particularly fun and is based on the rules. Mr. Kang, do you know?"
"I know, Dragon and Dungeon." Kang Jianfei had only heard of the name, and he knew about it, but he didn't understand the specific details at all.
Chen Boxiang felt joy in meeting fellow men. He said, "I didn't expect that you can play games too, Mr. Kang, I'll find friends to play with them, and they haven't even heard of it."
At this moment, the stadium suddenly started, and more than ten racehorses rushed out of the gate.
Chen Boxiang's attention was attracted by the horse racing. The emperor's style under his name was still far behind at the beginning, but suddenly ran wildly in the middle.
"Come on, hurry up and hurry up!"
"Hurry up the emperor's demeanor, faster, you'll catch up!"
"Boom and Bow!!!"
Chen Baixiang was already crazy, standing up and waving his fists and shouting loudly, blushing his face and thick neck, and his face looked like a gambler.
In the last ten meters, the emperor's style suddenly accelerated and surpassed the top horse. Just when Chen Boxiang thought he could win the championship, the horse, which was originally ranked third, suddenly rushed to catch up with him like he took medicine.
The two horses arrived at the finish line at the same time, and countless spectators who participated in the betting on horses were stunned.
Finally, through the slow-showing camera, I found that the No. 8 horse was a little faster than the King's style, and he was the first to cross the line to win the championship. Chen Baixiang's horse only won the second place.
"well!"
Chen Boxiang sighed, both happy and disappointed. What was disappointed was naturally because his horse failed to win the championship, but what was happy was that the emperor's demeanor would definitely be promoted.
Kang Jianfei bought the Royal Demeanor and won the entire battle, and 100,000 yuan wasted. He didn't care about this. He just played with the horse. He only talked about the important thing after the Marseille ended: "Ala, sell me your Oriental Charm Network."
"What?" Chen Boxiang thought he had heard it wrong.
Kang Jianfei repeated: "I said, I will sell me your Oriental Charm Network and I will offer 2 million."
"Yes." Chen Boxiang agreed without thinking.
He founded a website on a whim. Nowadays, there are too few online users and it is impossible to make money. Even if the website relies on taking private jobs for celebrities, the amount of money cannot achieve balance of income and expenditure. He will lose at least 200,000 yuan a month. It would be better if someone is willing to take over.
Whether now or 20 years later, most websites are losing money. There are only two ways to make money: one is to go public and make money; the other is to find someone to take over.
Although Kang Jianfei does not know the history of the Internet development, he knows that this thing must be ahead. As long as he has been through these few years and cultivates his loyal users, he will definitely become awesome in the future.
In fact, the first wave of Internet bubble will start next year and will reach its peak in 2000. Countless tycoons spend money hard, and then the bubble burst with a bang.
Kang Jianfei's initial idea was to build his own portal.
Since Chen Boxiang’s Oriental Charming Network has a foundation, it’s better to just acquire it directly. The initial content of the website can be divided into four parts—
First, business information. Nowadays, mass users have not yet emerged, and commercial users are the main customers of the website, which is very, very important.
The second is news and information. It includes international news and local news. The content in this area can be cooperated with Ming Pao and Tiantian Daily.
The third is the literary section. Various novels, poems, prose, and famous works can be obtained. You can buy a lot of electronic copyrights with a little money, because today's writers do not take the Internet seriously.
The fourth is entertainment information. Various information, gossip, and even daily photos of artists can be posted online, which is very attractive to ordinary users. After all, the current news can only be spread by traditional media.
The fifth is forum. In the early days of the Internet, this was a killer weapon to accumulate popularity, and young people were super crazy to play.
Of course, Hong Kong's Internet market is still very small and must rely on the United States and the mainland. Kang Jianfei plans to go to these two places to assume websites by next year. The Oriental Charming Network in Hong Kong is equivalent to training, striving to cultivate some website talents, and then cooperate with American and Chinese universities to build websites.
