In 2001, the number of Internet computers in China reached 9 million, the number of registered users of CQ reached 80 million, and the number of online users exceeded 1 million, and the number of registered users exceeded 100 million, and the number of registered users exceeded 100 million, and it may happen in the next two or three months.

I don't know if I should celebrate when I break 100 million.

This is a sign that roars with the progress of the times.

With the country's 9 million Internet computers, the only thing that supports CQ's large number of users is the Internet cafes that bloom everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Internet cafes have entered a golden age.

And one of the things that people generally believe is that the Internet café at that time made CQ. The achievement of the Internet café is the online game "Spiritual Domain" created by CQ's game department.

The popularity of "Spiritual Domain" has become a spectacle, and at least nine of the ten machines in the Internet café at this time are full of the strong east wind charm of Wonderland, or sometimes enter the map of the Western Regions and have an exotic game interface.

One is that it has become a subtle network chat tool for people, and there is an interesting common phenomenon that the business cards of the current small bosses, from the traditional mobile phone number and postal code, will leave a CQ number in the fastest instant messaging software in the land of China, and one is the first online game that is popular in China's Internet cafes at this time. At the same time, the two are organically combined under the door of one company, making CQ the most prominent Internet company in this year.

Li Mingshi has become a "legend" or "outlier" in the eyes of countless people.

But his technical background, coupled with the fact that he became the top spot in China in the two fields of online games and social networking at this time, made him more popularized by the nickname "alien".

At that time, the three major Internet companies in China, Tonglang, Sohu, and NetEase, were in the trough of the cold wave affected by the NASDAQ bubble, and CQ's online game profitability and instant messaging were unbeatable. The key is that the overall self-sufficiency of the game business to complete the expansion of the instant messaging business, there is no need for financing, and it has also rejected the investment of several well-known companies, which is very unfortunate, no financing, no dilution of the team's equity, and firmly grasp the control.

Controlling, heroic, ambitious...... This kind of catchy vocabulary has made Li Mingshi's value in the eyes of the media even higher.

But the cusp still exists, and the success of the Spiritual Online Game has also brought negative public opinion pressure, and the perception that online games are a flood of beasts has never disappeared, on the other hand, because the "Spiritual Domain" game has a strong crackdown on plug-in behavior, it has also made some players quite dissatisfied, because some of them have been stolen, and the result is that the account has been banned.

Because the spirit domain itself started as a web game with data on the server at the beginning, it gradually developed to the client, but the data center is still on the server, so the technical threshold of the spirit domain plug-in is very high, and it generally does not appear in the game data level to tamper with the plug-in behavior, more of them are similar to the plug-in of acceleration software, but the anti-plug-in mechanism of the spirit domain is still constantly upgrading.

On the one hand, there is in-game monitoring, and on the other hand, there are also players who report rewards, and once they are found to be using plug-ins, they will be banned immediately.

This one-size-fits-all behavior has effectively cracked down on cheating, and every month the CQ community will publish a long list of banned accounts, but it has also aroused a lot of controversy and dissatisfaction, but on these controversies, Li Mingshi is almost iron-blooded to implement his will.

Crackdown, one-size-fits-all, the iron law of banning cheats has been written into the game's agreement, and no compromises will be made.

In the face of social accusations that games are electronic opium, Li Mingshi does not respond publicly, but only occasionally appears to release the results of CQ Games' healthy game mechanism construction for minors in the media or official announcements.

Specifically, minors cannot purchase point cards from the regular point card distribution points of Internet cafes, and minors will also be restricted according to the in-game information linked to the CQ number. But in fact, everyone knows this, when the entire social information collection system has not reached a height, it is impossible to effectively screen whether the age of the user's game data is consistent with the real age, and some measures have ways to avoid it.

But doing is better than doing nothing, and Li Mingshi's timely exposure of receiving the award of the National Academy and inventing the geological disaster prevention and mitigation system is appropriately revealed, which also allows him to be more calm in the face of this wave of public opinion.

Cheng Ran sometimes saw the news and the discussion of Li Mingshi in school, and sometimes felt that he was not kind, so he roasted Lao Li on the fire. The storm in the outside world and the series of controversies surrounding these undertakings were all blocked from the sea outside by the breakwater built by Cheng Ran's professional managers.

......

After Jiang Zhou's Tianxing Dao Museum opened in Nanzhou, many aspects have matured, specific operation, marketing, and then began to open in Pengcheng, the capital, Jiang Zhou concentrated on his opening plan, pounced on the shepherd business of raising cash sheep.

Shi Jiaxun and Gao Yue have already received their certificates and participated in a class reunion, at which Shi Jiaxun was called "Director Shi".

He is now not only working as a counselor, but also the deputy director of the management committee of the joint laboratory of the University of Science and Technology and CQ, this identity has brought Shi Jiaxun a lot of things that have never been seen before, in the counselor circle, many people now meet Shi Jiaxun, who did not greet him much before, are obviously eager, Shi Jiaxun is just a deputy director, but in fact, he is now a celebrity in front of the senior leaders of the department and the school, just in the internal administrative circle of the University of Science and Technology, many people think that in time, Shi Jiaxun's identity does not only stay on this deputy director。

Some are also sighing in private, if they can bump into a student like Cheng Ran, they are really willing to reduce their life span by ten years. At the same time, there is a subtle change within the University of Science and Technology, that is, most counselors and teachers are much more tolerant of their students for a while, and in the past, there have been counselors to inspect students' dormitories, and they really can't stand the scolding of "This is a pigsty!", and now it is still the counselor, when he saw the dormitory with poor discipline and hygiene, he opened the Tang monk mode of Journey to the West.

The deeds of Cheng Ran and Shi Jiaxun have actually led to the relationship between teachers and students of science and technology to be more moisturizing and silent like adding lubricating oil.

"Shi Jiaxun, Teacher Shi, Director Shi, I'm afraid I'll have to call Dean Shi in the future...... My son is now saying that when he grows up, he will be admitted to his father's university, and he will recognize him as Uncle Shi! I said that you must first do it yourself, and if you can't pass the exam yourself, even if ten Uncle Shi helps you, it will not be a problem...... Besides, others are willing to help, and your dad and I have to be embarrassed to accept this face...... "The man who spoke brought a wine glass, Moutai, poured wine for Shi Jiaxun, who had just had a cup of stomach, and clinked glasses again.

The man was the first person in Shi Jiaxun's class to start a successful business, and he was the most famous person in the class in that class, Shi Jiaxun remembered that after the classmate's business was opened, he also handed himself a business card, saying what does it mean to be a counselor, buddy company needs people now, you come to help me, I will give you at least three times the salary of more than three times now......

At that time, the other party was driving a car with a price of more than 300,000 yuan, but Shi Jiaxun knew that the other party said this, and he may not really think so, so he didn't mean to show his identity and status.

Now the other party is hooking shoulders and backs, and his words are more sincere than before, Shi Jiaxun believes that the other party's sincerity is true, and he is also sincerely proud of his old classmate at this moment. Sometimes I don't feel that this is the case, people tend to only respect achievement and authority, and despise mediocrity and inaction.

"Lao Shi, we didn't have such a student in that year, and we got a laboratory sponsored by 80 million funds from a private enterprise in the school. He also leads the team, that is to say, he will start his own research and development in the university now? If there are any good projects in this laboratory in the future, it is appropriate for you, the teacher and the director...... I've seen you in the newspapers, and the one you put up when the lab was listed was still pretty handsome!"

Because the school-enterprise laboratory is at the forefront, there will be some media reports every time, and Shi Jiaxun also frequently appears in newspapers or in front of the local TV station that receives the inspection of leaders, which is of course helpful for the spread of fame

"Lao Shi, wait for the anniversary of the University of Science and Technology, you are a proud protégé, but you want to bring it to us to get to know ......"

"Our University of Science and Technology still produces talents......

After the entertainment slowed down a bit, Shi Jiaxun came out and went to his wife Gao Yue, Gao Yue was chatting with the women, with a little vinegar at this time, "I didn't expect you to be quite popular among the girls in your class before...... Several of them expressed their envy to me, saying that you are such a down-to-earth guy, you can take advantage of Gao Yue if you give it to me. ”

Shi Jiaxun hugged Gao Yue, his eyes softened, "Then did you tell them that in the past, we used to play friends to scatter coins and steel hammers every month, and put them in the piggy bank, and when there was no money at the end of the month, they would open the piggy bank to buy the last "food for waste", and at that time they ate noodles, so the noodles you cooked were so delicious." For other "smart" girls, who is willing to follow a "down-to-earth" guy like me to eat noodles every day?"

Gao Yue turned around and hugged her husband and said softly, "What they said, will you become the de......an one day?

"Your statement of political ideology is wrong, you let Dean Luo, Dean Zhang, and Dean Deng hear the ...... who are going to be called to drink tea and talk" Shi Jiaxun had a strange expression, put his arm around Gao Yue's shoulders, and said softly, "It's not expected to be a dean, it's difficult...... It's almost enough to get to the middle and high-level...... Actually, it doesn't matter, I still want to do student work, I just want to look at my students, not to mention that they are all like Cheng Ran, but also to see them graduate one by one and walk out of our University of Science and Technology, I feel that the people who can fight cultivated by our University of Science and Technology are coming, you should hurry up and grab them, let them do a good job!"
