After eating and drinking enough to pay the bill, Lin Weidong just got up from his seat when he heard a familiar male voice shouting, "Weidong." ”

Lin Weidong turned around, looked at the door of the store, and unexpectedly saw his roommate Wang Taoxin, so he walked straight out to him.

Wang Taoxin didn't find Wu Shan's figure beside Lin Weidong, so she asked curiously: "Why are you eating alone, Wu Shan didn't come with you?"

Lin Weidong didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "No, I have already separated from her." ”

Wang Taoxin looked at Lin Weidong's serious expression, not like he was joking, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and asked uncertainly, "You're not joking, are you?"

Lin Weidong said angrily: "Is it necessary to joke about this kind of thing?"

After getting Lin Weidong's affirmative answer, Wang Tao couldn't help but ask happily, "When is it?"

Lin Weidong said casually: "Just now." ”

I have to admit that Wang Taoxin learned from Lin Weidong that he had broken up with Wu Shan, and he was quite happy.

The reason is that Wu Shan usually looks down on people like Wang Taoxin who don't love learning very much, and doesn't like Lin Weidong to play with him.

So in turn, Wang Taoxin was also very annoyed with her, feeling that her appearance affected her friendship with Lin Weidong.

However, although Wang Taoxin was happy in her heart, she still asked curiously, "Why did you two break up?"

Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Wang Taoxin then asked nervously: "Won't you get back together tomorrow?"

Even if Wang Taoxin has never been in love, but he has never eaten pork, it doesn't mean that he has never seen a pig run, and the couple is noisy and noisy, divided and combined, he still knows a little.

Lin Weidong said angrily and funny: "You just want me to break up with Wu Shan so much......"

Wang Taoxin didn't speak, smiled honestly, and nodded again.

Lin Weidong smiled and sighed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "By the way, where are you going?"

Wang Taoxin said as she walked: "Go to the Red Ant Internet Cafe, do you want to go?"

Lin Weidong asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in an Internet café?"

Wang Taoxin pretended to be profound: "Do you remember the book I recommended to you two days ago?"

It's been twenty years, and Lin Weidong has just been reborn and returned less than a day, how can he still remember this bit of, and then asked blankly: "What book did you recommend to me?"

Wang Taoxin said angrily: ""The First Close Contact", the divine book written by the ruffian Cai. ”

Lin Weidong asked suspiciously: "I know this book, is there anything special?"

Wang Taoxin said: "The male protagonist of this web novel, the ruffian Cai, and the heroine dance lightly, and they are the ...... I met in the icq chat room."

After Wang Taoxin's reminder, Lin Weidong suddenly remembered that "The First Close Contact" was an online novel published in early 1999, that is, this online novel, which let thousands of readers know the existence of OICQ.

And OicQ is also known as QQ, but it has not been renamed yet, and the name is still called OicQ, so there may be friends who don't know what OicQ is, in fact, it is the predecessor of QQ.

Due to the gorgeous description of OICQ in the book "First Close Contact", OICQ has become synonymous with fashion and popularity in the hearts of young people all over the country.

Many netizens are beginning to look forward to having this tool that is thousands of miles away, but can sit down and chat.

Suffice it to say, "First Close Encounter" was all the rage on OICQ and played a role in fueling the fire.

Of course, OICQ's rapid popularity is also inseparable from Ma Huateng's marketing strategy, because a few months ago, Ma Huateng suddenly put OICQ online for customers to download and use for free.

You must know that the main income of the network company in these years is to rely on the sale of software, and Ma Huateng's initial capital accumulation is also obtained by selling software, so his behavior quickly caused social repercussions.

The first group to start using OICQ on a large scale was college students, who had relatively low financial ability, and Ma Huateng's preferential card quickly attracted them.

Then, as the students went to work, the user group of OICQ began to spread rapidly to the urban white-collar group, and in this way, OICQ gradually opened up the situation.

Coupled with the nationwide best-selling of the book "First Close Contact" and the crazy download of OICQ, Ma Huateng's marketing strategy has finally begun to bear fruit.

In fact, the reason why OICQ can be popular is inseparable from the conservative and subtle nature of our Chinese people.

Orientals have been curious about unknown people and things since ancient times, but at the same time, they are not used to talking to strangers in person.

The emergence of OICQ completely solves this contradiction, it allows people to hide behind the computer through the Internet and communicate with strangers without barriers, because in a completely different world, many people are even willing to confide their secrets with each other.

This is a form of communication that has never been seen in the history of our country, and all those who are keen on new things are full of curiosity about it.

In this way, countless strangers became close friends who talked about everything, and OICQ finally gained a firm foothold in the online market.

Obviously, Wang Taoxin began to learn about the OicQ chat room because of the book "First Close Contact" and became a loyal user of OICQ.

Of course, there is no special reason why Wang Taoxin is keen on OICQ, mainly because of the influence of "The First Close Contact", and she is also looking forward to finding a girlfriend on the Internet.

However, Lin Weidong went to the Red Ant Internet Cafe with him, not to pick up girls, but to understand what the current situation of the Internet is and to see if there are any business opportunities that can be explored.

After all, as a reborn person from 2019, Lin Weidong knows more information than people in 1999, and has a more long-term vision.

So, Lin Weidong and Wang Taoxin chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the Red Ant Internet Cafe.

The environment inside the Internet café is a bit crowded, and there is basically no decoration, and even so, there are quite a lot of people, basically all of them look like college students, or people in their 30s.

In fact, in recent years, almost no children come to Internet cafes, basically addicted to game halls, and the post-90s non-mainstream people have not yet appeared.

Lin Weidong roughly calculated, there were only about 30 computers in the entire Red Ant Internet Cafe, which were crowded against the wall, and people were very close to each other.

The machine is very old-fashioned, with a large head convex monitor, a bead-scrolling mouse, low-quality audio, and an old-fashioned floppy drive, which should be able to access a 1.44M 3.5-inch floppy disk.

In the eyes of today's people, these computers represent fashion and technology, but in Lin Weidong's view, these are all outdated antiques.

Wang Taoxin glanced at Lin Weidong and said, "Weidong, how long are you going to go?"

Lin Weidong thought that he was shy in his pocket, he only had more than 100 yuan left in his wallet, and he had to stay up until the end of the semester, so he asked: "Taoxin, how much is an hour to go online now?"

Wang Taoxin replied: "6 yuan for Internet access, 4 yuan for a single machine." ”

"Damn, it's so expensive!" Lin Weidong couldn't help but swear words.
