The Internet began in the United States in 1969, also known as the Internet. Initially it was only used to connect computers 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, such as email services, appeared for the first time, and the Internet entered the mass era.
China began to explore the Internet in 1987. In April this year, it had full access to the Internet and became the 77th member of the international Internet family. Hong Kong was relatively early, and some large companies were connected to the Internet last year, such as Kang Jianfei
In several of its major companies, middle- and senior-level employees can use the Internet to send emails.
For young people in Hong Kong, this is a very fashionable thing. Some people even pay high prices to send emails just to experience that high-tech communication method.
Don't think that Chen Baixiang is just an artist. This guy used to run a garment factory and made tens of millions of dollars from his business - it was still the 1970s, and the annual box office champion of Hong Kong movies was only 3 million.
Chen Baixiang has the courage to try new things. Recently, he has set his sights on the Internet. He has also teamed up with Anita Mui, Tan Yonglin and others to create a celebrity information website.
Five years after its establishment, this website developed into Oriental Charm Company, and attracted big stars such as Cheng Long to join it. It was successfully listed in Hong Kong for financing, and its market value reached its peak of 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Oriental Charm Company changed hands many times, and was later divided into
Second, they developed into well-known Xingmei International and Han Media Group respectively.
Chen Baixiang was a little embarrassed when he heard Kang Jianfei suddenly ask about the website.
Nowadays, there are very few ordinary Internet users. Chen Baixiang’s Oriental Charm website is called a celebrity information website, but it cannot make money by publishing gossip information and celebrity news. To be precise, this website is actually a celebrity intermediary platform. Some companies can contact Chen Baixiang through the website.
, let him act as a go-between to invite celebrities to attend business events.
To put it bluntly, it means that businessmen have direct contact with celebrities, bypassing the Oriental Entertainment agency to accept private work.
This is simply poaching Kang Jianfei. Now that the real owner has caught him, Chen Baixiang is like a real thief. He blushes and says: "Mr. Kang, I didn't expect you to be interested in the Internet. Well, I'm just a petty thief."
It’s just a commotion, I will close the website when I get back.”
As Chen Baixiang said, this is really a small deal. The business of the website is just inviting celebrities to cut ribbons and attend cocktail parties. If Chen Baixiang had the guts to accept a really big deal, he wouldn't dare to take it randomly.
Kang Jianfei had someone investigate, and of course he knew about this situation. He asked with a smile: "Is the Internet fun?"
"It's fun," Chen Baixiang immediately felt relieved when he saw that Kang Jianfei was not going to pursue the case. "The Internet can not only send emails, but also play cards and games. There is a game called "Night in Winterfell" that is particularly fun.
Under the framework of dnd rules. Mr. Kang, do you know dnd?"
"Yes, Dungeons and Dragons." Kang Jianfei had only heard the name and had a general idea, but he didn't understand the specific details at all.
Chen Baixiang felt happy that he had met someone with the same interests. He said: "I never expected that Mr. Kang, you also play DND games. I asked my friends to play with them, and they have never even heard of it."
At this moment, the gong suddenly started in the arena, and more than a dozen horse racing horses rushed out of the gate.
Chen Baixiang's attention was attracted by the horse racing. The horse he owns has a royal style. It was relatively behind at the beginning, but suddenly started to run wildly in the middle.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on!"
"Hurry up like an emperor. If you go faster, we will catch up!"
"Go go go go go go!!!"
Chen Baixiang went crazy. He stood up, waved his fists and shouted loudly, until his face turned red and his neck became thick. He looked like a complete gambler.
In the last ten meters, Emperor Style suddenly accelerated to overtake the horse and became the winner. Just when Chen Baixiang thought he was sure to win the championship, the horse originally ranked third suddenly sprinted to catch up as if he had taken medicine.
The two horses reached the finish line at the same time, and countless spectators participating in horse racing were dumbfounded.
Finally, through the slow-motion camera, it was discovered that horse No. 8 was just a little faster than Emperor Style and crossed the line first to win the championship. Chen Baixiang's horse only finished second.
"well!"
Chen Baixiang sighed, feeling happy and disappointed at the same time. Naturally, he was disappointed that his horse failed to win the championship, but he was happy that Emperor Style would definitely be promoted.
Kang Jianfei bought the King Style Winner, and 100,000 yuan was wasted. He didn't care about it, betting on horse racing was just for fun, and he didn't get down to business until the end of the Marseille: "Alek, put your Oriental Charm on the Internet
Sell it to me."
"What?" Chen Baixiang thought he heard wrongly.
Kang Jianfei repeated: "I said, sell me your Oriental Charm Network. I will bid 2 million."
"Okay." Chen Baixiang agreed directly without thinking.
He founded the website just on a whim. There are too few Internet users these days, so it is impossible to make money. Even if he relies on the website to take private jobs for celebrities, he will not be able to break even with that little money. He will lose at least 200,000 yuan every month. Someone is willing
The takeover couldn't be better.
Whether it is now or 20 years later, most websites are losing money. There are only two ways to make money: one is to go public to make money; the other is to find someone to take over.
Although Kang Jianfei didn't understand the history of the development of the Internet, he knew that this thing must be at the forefront. As long as he survives the past few years and cultivates his own loyal users, he will definitely become awesome in the future.
In fact, the first wave of the Internet bubble will start next year and reach its peak in 2000. Countless wealthy people poured money into it, and then the bubble burst with a bang.
Kang Jianfei's initial idea was to build his own portal.
Now that Chen Baixiang's Oriental Charm Network has a foundation, it is better to acquire it directly. The initial content of the website can be divided into four parts -
The first is business information. Nowadays, mass users have not yet emerged. Business users are the main customers of the website, which is very, very important.
The second is news information. It includes international news and local news. The content of this area can be cooperated with "Ming Pao" and "Tian Tian Daily".
The third is the literature section. You can get all kinds of novels, poems, essays, and masterpieces by famous writers. You can buy a lot of electronic copyrights for a little money, because today's writers don't take the Internet seriously.
The fourth is entertainment information. Various information about artists, gossip, and even daily photos can be posted online, which is very attractive to ordinary users. After all, the current news dissemination can only rely on traditional media.
The fifth is the BBS forum. In the early days of the Internet, this was a great tool for accumulating popularity, and young people played it super crazy.
Of course, Hong Kong's Internet market is still very small and must rely on the United States and mainland China. Kang Jianfei plans to go to these two places to set up websites by next year at the latest. The Oriental Charming Network in Hong Kong is equivalent to training to train some website talents, and then
Cooperate with universities in the United States and China to develop websites.
Of course, you can also open an Internet cafe for fun. If history remains unchanged, it will take another two or three months before the world's first Internet cafe will appear in the UK. (To be continued.)
