Chapter 507: There is a choice, a sense of opinion

Seeing Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei sending emails to each other in the email address they had just applied, Chen Mingluo felt a little funny.

He has two computers here, both of which are the latest and top-level configurations, but the current network speed is very slow and the international export speed is only a few dozen megabytes. In addition to watching domestic news, he can only send and receive emails.

I recalled that when I first went online, I first used 56k kitten dialing to establish a connection, and then I quickly opened more than a dozen or even dozens of web pages according to the URL I had prepared. After all the content pages to be found were opened, I decisively hung up the network and then slowly browsed offline.

Thinking back to the beginning, many poor people who thought of him basically did this, because the internet speed was too slow and the price was too expensive. At the beginning, the usage fee for an hour was so high for dozens of yuan. It was not until about two thousand years that there was a saying that monthly booking was made, but it also cost nearly two hundred yuan a month.

Chen Mingluo remembers it very clearly that when he had just booked a monthly subscription, the Telecommunications Bureau made a mistake. As a result, when the settlement was settled at the end of the month, he issued a sky-high bill for Chen Mingluo, which cost more than 1,000 yuan. For Chen Mingluo, who had just received a few hundred yuan, it was really a sky-high price.

Later, Chen Mingluo went to complain and argued several times before he let the other party let go and agreed to offset the extra deductions to the future bill, which was considered to avoid losses.

At the beginning, there were many ways to save money. For example, the usage fee was divided into busy times and leisure time. The cost of busy times was twice that of leisure time. The definition of leisure time was basically after ten o'clock in the evening.

It is precisely because of this difference that the old birds who went online at the beginning were basically night owls. After all, rich people are a minority. Although most people are very interested in this emerging thing, due to the limited wallet capacity, they still have to change their living habits and become night owls.

Speaking of which, Chen Mingluo was very moved. Although his original life was gone forever and could not even appear in this cycle of reincarnation, the impression he left behind was still very clear. Domestic netizens were spending the most expensive Internet fee in the world, enjoying the worst Internet service in the world, and being restricted from access to certain websites, and being cheated by service providers from time to time. It is really sad.

Seeing Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei having no idea of ​​time, Chen Mingluo sighed, "It's so fucking good to be rich! It's so fucking good to be rich!"

It's already great value for anything else, just to be able to enjoy the latest technological achievements as you like, not to mention that there are other aspects of enjoyment waiting for you to experience them one by one.

"The internet speed is too slow, and people are anxious to wait." After playing for a while, Xiao Xiao became a little depressed.

The internet speed at this time was indeed slow enough. Chen Mingluo still applied for the fastest 128k dedicated line, but it still couldn't meet everyone's needs when used.

"Miss, just be content." Yang Ji'er had been playing the Internet for a long time and knew the difference between the Internet speed. She said to Xiao Xiao, "You have to know that the Internet speed others are using, so you won't be so full of complaints."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Is that so? Is there no way to increase the internet speed?"

Although Xiao Xiao doesn’t have many requirements for surfing the Internet, it takes one minute, two minutes or even more time to open a web page, which still makes her feel intolerable. After all, if you want to surf the Internet, it is impossible for you to just send and receive emails every time. Can you only endure this kind of speed of snails breaking the Internet when doing other things?

"As new things, I have to give them time to develop. It is estimated that in a few years, the situation will be much better. There is no problem for everyone to play games online." Chen Mingluo replied casually.

He recalled the prosperity of online games later, that is, after the improvement of Internet conditions in all aspects, although foreign online games had developed in advance, due to the limitations of domestic network speed and costs, the significance of domestic promotion is not very important, let alone people's ideological obstacles, which is also an important reason restricting the development of online games.

"Actually, the Red Alarm we used to play before has network settings. In addition to the LAN networking method, there is also the Internet networking method. It seems that the network environment abroad is indeed much better." Yang Jier thought of some other things and couldn't help but interrupt.

Chen Mingluo nodded, agreeing with Yang Jier's statement, and he also said, "In fact, the Red Alerts do not have high requirements for the Internet. You can play and experience it in a while."

"I'd better forget it. I played it a few times that day, and I was completely destroyed by Senior Sister Jier every time, and I had no face at all." Xiao Xiao replied, obviously he had no interest in this kind of thing.

Chen Mingluo then smiled and said, "Sister Jier, that's a big blow to others' enthusiasm. After all, playing games is also a kind of exercise. Many people's in-depth learning of computers starts with games. You are so happy that you ruined a good seedling of the game!"

"This has nothing to do with me. It's really not the same level, so I can't stop it for a while." Yang Jier replied.

After playing for a while, Xiao Xiao suddenly asked a question, "I have a question."

"What's the question?" everyone asked with interest.

"Now there are many websites that promote their own email systems, but which website's email system should I choose?" Xiao Xiao asked.

After hearing this, Chen Mingluo scratched his head and nodded, saying, "The question you raised is really a problem."

The question raised by Xiao Xiao is indeed a problem.

After years of precipitation, many websites gradually became silent after a few years, and some were even forced to announce bankruptcy, website closure, and email system deactivated. Many such things happened later. At this time, some inconspicuous websites later became several super large network companies in the Chinese world, with influence all over the country and abroad.

Chen Mingluo remembers that in a few years, in order to raise funds and obtain US dollar support from overseas venture capital, the Internet company worked hard to expand users locally. Various services were provided for free, including the email system, including many services, and even to attract users, they often held some prize-winning Q&A activities to distribute small gifts to registered users.

This has also led to many online companies that have invested a lot and are very popular from the beginning. Many users have used their email systems and started using them in their daily lives, which has gained a lot of convenience.

But a few years later, once these websites are closed, the email system they use will naturally disappear, and the email account that has accompanied them for many years has disappeared, and many netizens who often contact the Internet will immediately become a terrible.

Such an impact is indeed very bad, which greatly dampens everyone's enthusiasm for using network services and makes many people feel distrustful towards Internet companies.

Later, many similar incidents occurred. For example, after the emergence of instant messaging software, the success of QQ also attracted many Internet companies to follow suit, and ended up failing. However, users who were abandoned during this use were naturally very helpless.

After all, the various services provided under the banner of free cannot guarantee that the use effect is satisfactory, nor can it guarantee that this free service can be provided forever.

"There is no need to apply for so many things like this. Just find a more optimistic application. If there are too many, you can't remember it yourself." Chen Mingluo suggested, and then he gave several candidates.

In fact, this year is a simple and dream-filled year for many people in the domestic Internet industry.

Many of the Internet industry leaders who later became powerful really began their dream journey from this time. Compared with some of the Internet upstarts, most of the money in the pockets of these entrepreneurs can be described as pitiful. However, they all persistently regard becoming the second yahoo! Even surpassing it as their future goal, and using their own weak power to firmly promote the progress of China's Internet industry.

They are like a group of adventure navigators, who firmly believe that they can find mysterious treasures in the distance.

This year is also the year when China's Intercom dream truly begins. At the beginning of the year, the first free all-Chinese email system in China, 163.com, began to gradually become well-known, which surprised the first generation of domestic netizens with a total number of less than one million.

Since the beginning of this year, many people have begun to print email addresses on their business cards. The symbolic significance of this behavior is far greater than its actual value, but this indicates the beginning of a new era.

Although the development of intercom in China is still very thin, the total number of netizens is less than one million, and the international exports are only a few dozen trillion, just like a baby who has just learned to walk, some industry insiders have sensitively realized that the storm of intercom is about to sweep across China. A new era full of dreams and legends is coming.

Also at the beginning of this year, the first professional search engine site in China was officially launched. Within one month after the website was officially launched, the average daily visits were about 12,000, and the page traffic exceeded 100,000 pages per day.

With such a nearly shabby visit volume from later standards, this website quickly became one of the most popular websites in China at that time, and the name of this website was Sohu.

It is worth mentioning that Sohu's domain name is still a difficult to remember www.piaotian.com. This domain name can be seen at a glance as the imitation of the famous network domain name www.piaotian.com.

In fact, not only the domain name, but the website sohoo could be said to be a Chinese version of yahoo!, with similar content and similar styling.

If we go back ten years later, this kind of naked and naked plagiarism will definitely be sued by the other party and then against the court. Unfortunately, in this era, everyone is busy doing their own business and has not considered any threats of piracy and infringement.

After a while of enduring, the three girls finally went to sleep together.

Chen Mingluo was so troubled by them, and he had no intention of sleeping. He practiced the kung fu that he could attain enlightenment and become an immortal for a while. He condensed his true energy and then began to travel on the snail-speed Internet.

After searching on the news page for a while, I suddenly found a message that seemed very eye-catching.

I have to admit that the timeliness of domestic news web pages are really poor now. After more than half a year, it was only on the web page. The timeliness of this online media is really bad.

The content of the news interest Chen Mingluo, which means that on March 9 this year, the first session of the Ninth National People's Congress officially approved the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry.

Although this news did not seem to have caused any storm, Chen Mingluo saw the huge opportunity hidden in it. The establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry marked the beginning of the long process of breaking the monopoly in the domestic telecom industry.

It is precisely because of the Ministry of Information Industry that the fees of mobile phones, Internet, or landlines are available, and there is a chance of competition and a possibility of decline.

Of course, this is undoubtedly good news for the domestic network industry. The high network usage fee has finally been reduced. The establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry also marks that the network industry, as a new pillar industry of the national economy, is receiving unprecedented attention.

"A era of turbulence and turbulence--" Chen Mingluo looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Mingluo also considered whether he was involved and got into a slap? But after thinking for a while, he gave up this idea a little. After all, the butterfly wing effect made him feel a little hesitant. Once he exerted excessive influence on these industries, the direction of the world is likely to be detached from his own cognition and become increasingly uncontrollable. This is a bad result.

Chen Mingluo was moved by the financial storms he encountered in his previous life and knew the illusion of the Internet industry. His greatest ideal was to build a huge industrial empire, rather than relying on selling online games or something to cheat children's money. Online games are actually the same as creating a real estate bubble.

Chen Mingluo's greatest ideal is to have choices, have opinions, and not be able to follow the crowd.
