Time is like running water, passing by day by day.
Xu Tongdao's Internet cafe is still under renovation, but in order to attract attention early and promote the Internet cafe, Xu Tongdao first finished the Internet cafe's signboard.
There are two pieces in total, one big one is hung on the balcony on the second floor.
He placed another small piece next to the wall at the entrance of the alley. In order to prevent it from being stolen by rag collectors, he made some cement mortar and fixed the feet of the sign there. If so, it could still be stolen.
Go, then he will admit it.
By the way, the name he gave his Internet cafe has five characters—Ximen Road Internet Cafe.
He thought about naming it "Xiao Xu Internet Cafe" or "Xiaodao Internet Cafe", but in the end, he chose such a weird name.
Because he felt that "Ximen Road Internet Cafe" should be more impressive.
For example: Will this name remind people of "Ximen Qing Internet Cafe"?
As for what the three words "Ximen Road" mean?
In fact, it means literally, "Ximen" is because this Internet cafe is located on the street of Ximen of the Naval University, and "Dao" is the last word in the three characters of Xu Tongdao.
This name definitely means "Ximen Qing".
But Xu Tongdao definitely didn't think that he and Ximen Qing were the same kind of people. He just suddenly thought of such a name, and then felt that this name was only one character different from "Ximen Qing" and might be easier to remember, so he just
used.
For him, the most important thing is that the name of this Internet cafe is easy to pronounce and remember, and can leave a deeper impression on people.
As for whether people would think that the name of the owner of this restaurant is "Ximen Road"? He doesn't care.
More than a week has passed.
The water and electricity in the Internet cafe have already been completed, the walls have been whitewashed, and the tables and chairs have been purchased and installed.
This morning, Dai Yang came over to assemble and install the computer.
In the afternoon, Telecom will come to connect the network cable.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Dai Yang did not come alone today, he also brought five male students to help him.
The euphemistic name is: give them five opportunities to teach them how to assemble computers and improve their practical abilities.
The reality is to catch free young men.
Moreover, the five students he brought were very excited and highly motivated.
Tongdao Xu looked at the scene of these five students helping Dai Yang with great interest, and wanted to laugh a little. He felt as if he was seeing his own student days.
I still remember that when he was in primary school or middle school, every time a teacher came to the class to ask people to help with something, everyone's enthusiasm was similar to that of the five boys in front of him.
In the whole morning, Dai Yang and the others only successfully assembled 12 computers. Comrade Xu could tell that Dai Yang was not very skilled in assembling computers, which was normal. There were not many opportunities for Dai Yang to assemble computers these days.
So it’s not surprising that the technique is unskilled.
Assembling a computer is actually quite tedious.
Not only do you need to install various spare parts into the host chassis, but after the host is assembled, you also need to connect it to the display screen. After that, you need to turn on the power and install the system software in the computer, etc.
Seeing that they had assembled 12 units in one morning, both Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing thought that they would not be able to assemble them all this afternoon.
result……
Probably because they had practiced in the morning and after Comrade Xu invited them to lunch, Dai Yang and the others were able to assemble much more efficiently in the afternoon.
Dai Yang's techniques are more proficient, and the students who started the attack have a better understanding of cooperation with Dai Yang. After the host is assembled, Dai Yang no longer needs to do things like installing the system software himself. The five students have already learned how to do it.
Do it for you.
Just like that, I was busy until about 9 o'clock in the evening, and all 32 computers were assembled.
During this period, in the afternoon, the telecommunications company sent someone to connect the network cable.
Therefore, at around 9 o'clock that night, when all 32 computers were installed, all 32 computers were able to access the Internet normally.
When the work was done, Dai Yang patted the dust on his hands, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and stretched out his hand to signal, "Xiao Xu! Give it a try! See the effect of surfing the Internet!"
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Tongdao Xu will try it himself.
"Can he play on the computer?"
One of Dai Yang's students whispered to the classmate next to him.
He had spoken very quietly, but Tongdao Xu and the others still heard him.
Dai Yang's face darkened and he gave the child a warning look.
Zheng Qing also glanced at the boy.
Comrade Xu smiled and didn't mind.
Who puts him in a good mood now! Moreover, his age is obviously younger than the five students Dai Yang. Even if he is about the same age as them, in the eyes of ordinary people, if he is not a computer major, he should not be able to do it.
Play on the computer.
Under everyone's gaze, Tongdao Xu casually pulled up a chair and sat down, turning on the computer in front of him. Before his rebirth, the laptop he bought for more than 4,000 yuan could only start up in a few seconds.
Therefore, the computer he was operating took more than a minute to turn on, which made him very uncomfortable.
Comrade Xu patiently waited.
Because of the original time and space, he also played in an Internet cafe in the early 2000s and experienced that it took fifty or sixty seconds to boot up the computer.
Finally, the computer booted successfully.
Looking at the system interface that appeared on the "Big Head" display screen, Tongdao Xu felt very emotional. He had not seen this Windows 98 system for many years.
In his memory, after this system, he also used Windows XP system and win7. Before he was reborn, the operating system of his laptop was already win10.
So when he saw the Windows 98 system startup interface that appeared after the computer started successfully, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He remembered that the first QQ number he applied for was on a computer using this system.
He still remembers that at that time, many people came into contact with computers for the first time and did not know how to play other games. However, using QQ to chat with strangers was relatively simple and easy to learn, and it could also be used to practice typing.
Therefore, online dating was particularly popular in those years.
At that time, he also chatted with several girls online.
So, if someone wants to ask him whether he can use a computer with Windows 98 system?
He can't help but want to laugh.
If it was an earlier Windows 95 system, he might not really be able to use it.
But he is familiar with the system in front of him!
I saw him skillfully controlling the mouse, clicking on the IE browser, and looking at the web page that opened quickly, Comrade Xu was a little surprised.
Is the Internet speed of 99% so fast?
Then he realized that it was not that the Internet speed in 1999 was so fast, but that the Internet speed here was for the entire Internet cafe, but at this time, only the computer in front of him was in use, so the speed was naturally not as slow as that.
Where to go.
After reacting, Comrade Xu skillfully used the keyboard to enter the three words "Navy University" in the browser search box and hit the Enter key.
There was a soft "click" sound, and as the Enter key was pressed, the screen on the browser changed, and a stream of search results quickly appeared.
Little did they know that Dai Yang, Zheng Qing and others were stunned by his skillful use of computers and typing.
"Why are you so good at typing?"
The boy who had just wondered whether Xu Tongdao could play with computers couldn't help but ask.
