Chapter 819: The End of the Tumultuous '96

The lightning crash destroyed the prosperity and tranquility of millions of families in the first two months of the Chinese New Year.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange Index fell from more than 3,700 points on Monday to more than 1,200 points on Friday, and everything that has been eaten in the past six months has been spit out with interest.

Lin Miao, who had long since withdrawn from the matter, stood in the perspective of an observer for the first time since her rebirth, and calmly and carefully watched this influential social event at close range. While witnessing the human tragedy, his first reaction was to think about why this social incident did not turn into social unrest. And because of his personal experience, the reasons he observed are also very close to the analysis of the Social Science Bureau, and in summary, there should be three main points.

The first is the number of people in China who are worthy of being harvested this year, and the number of people who are harvested in actual operation, after all, only less than 1% of the total population. For this part of the people, of course, the losses are serious, but from another point of view, the number of people who have made a lot of money in the stock market is actually not a lot. It is estimated that there is about one in a thousand.

On average, it is equivalent to a new middle class or a privileged class member eating half of the property of the ten new middle class in one bite, and the actual result is that the total amount of social wealth has not changed in a short period of time, but the gap between the rich and the poor has widened in a certain higher dimension. And for the remaining 99% of people who are not eligible to be harvested from start to finish, life has not changed for them. In the same way, they should endure hardships and sufferings, and they should suffer and suffer.

In short, the class structure of society remains stable. The upper class has strengthened its own strength more and more through this round of harvesting, and after a part of the new middle class has been knocked down, it no longer has the power to disturb society, and the foundation of the lower class remains unchanged, and it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

The second is that these people seem to be a large number, but they are scattered to hundreds of economically developed cities across the country, and on average, there are only 120,000 people directly affected in each locality, and less than 10,000 people. Subdivided into a county or even a township, there are only a thousand people left at most. As far as Xicheng Street is concerned, it is estimated that there are only one or two thousand retail investors in the stock market this time, and as a comparison, the number of residents in the shantytowns in the back alleys of Hubin Road alone is far more than that.

Therefore, in the face of the scale of the disaster, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Yan Xiaohai, the deputy director who has been in charge of the economic work of Xicheng Street, determined that after his own careful analysis, there was no need to start the emergency plan for maintaining stability. As long as this group of people does not jump off the building, do not burn charcoal, and do not lie on the rails, then everything will be fine.

The last reason is that the vast majority of affected retail investors are willing to gamble and calm down after going through the whole process from expecting a miracle to completely despairing. The heart died, the tears dried up, and the brain returned.

They were willing to gamble and lose, got up from the floor of the hall of the stock exchange, patted the ashes on their buttocks, wiped the tears on their faces, and then listened to a song composed by Lin Miao and sung by Shuai Bo, "If the heart is there, the dream is there, but start all over again", and the next day they decisively set up all kinds of breakfast stalls and fruit stalls, and devote themselves to the work of contributing to the cause of socialism, so as not to cause trouble to the society and not to trouble the master. After all, life has to go on, there are old and young, how can you fall once and then collapse?

Two days later, the old men turned their heads and presented a certificate of "Outstanding Social Art Work Award" to Mr. Shuai Bo, and after the award ceremony, all this rain and sunshine. When there are a large number of layoffs in state-owned enterprises in the coming year, this song can be sung many times......

Lin Miao quietly did not comment on this matter in any way, but just wrote a small article and sent it to Wei Jun's mailbox.

Within a few days, an observation comment signed by Wei Jun appeared in a core social science journal in China, which violently denounced the harm of "free marketization tendency", and also made Lin Miao finally see the whole picture of his camp's position.

Is it important to walk or shoot, is it important? is it not important? can it be questioned?

There should always be an answer to everything, even if it can't be answered positively, but there is always a way to explain it clearly.

For example, Guo Heling said to Lin Miao: "The children of your generation may only see the benefits of comprehensive marketization in the future, but it is difficult to realize its disadvantages." When you really suffer one day, and no one can stand up and reverse all this, the cause that we have sacrificed and fought for since before the founding of the country will really fail. ”

A knife pierced the heart, and Lin Miao's face turned a little pale after hearing this.

After Wei Jun's article was published, the people on Lin Miao's side were quiet, and the other side seemed to have closed their mouths because of serious reasons.

The two sides tacitly chose to be quiet, and no one openly asked the whole society: Why do some people grab the fruits of other people's lifetime labor out of thin air without paying any labor? Is this really the world we want to build?

But luckily no one asked. Everyone is very restrained and sensible......

Lin Miao, as a member of the red side, took advantage of the existence like the blue side, and after the stock market crash, he was as quiet as a "good grandson of all mankind", except for releasing a song "Start Again" through Shuai Bo's mouth, he didn't dare to make any big moves. When the entrance examination was approaching, Lin Miao handed over all the things of Tianyuan Culture and Cute Technology to Guo Fengxiang and Guo Siqi, and even heard that the company had recruited a super beauty to come to the stage, so he didn't take a look.

After entering December, the only event he attended was to accompany Kang Zhifu to Hubin Road to attend the inauguration ceremony of the "Lakeside Shopping Center" on Plot 3, and signed the development agreement for Plot 4 by the way. The rest of the time, they were either brushing the questions, or preparing to brush the questions, and the appearance that no one should enter, made Huang Qingqing and Wang Bin involuntarily think of Lin Miao's appearance before the high school entrance examination.

Anyway, the past six months have passed so fast, and before I knew it, I had been in high school for almost a semester......

On December 16th, 17th, and 18th, Lin Miao only took the three exams of computer, physics and biology in batches in order to be safe. It stands to reason that it is absolutely not okay to skip the test like this, but in view of Lin Miao's status in the rivers and lakes, after the city specially inquired about the opinions of the province, the province said to study it, and then after studying it for less than half an hour, the hall master personally spoke, and the matter was OK.

After the exam on the afternoon of the 18th, Lin Miao walked out of the classroom and was immediately taken into the office by Principal Pang and a group of teachers to proofread the answers.

Although the students of No. 1 Middle School have always taken the entrance examination with an average of 9.0 A's in ten courses, at most only in the metaphysical course of Chinese, they will be pulled down by children from other chirping schools, and more than 40 of the 50 people in the class have all taken A's, which is a very normal basic operation, but when things fall on Lin Miao's head, everyone can't help but be nervous.

What's the point of being simple? What if the gutter capsizes?

But fortunately, Lin Miao can play this time, and the teachers of No. 1 Middle School confirmed after listening to Lin Miao's answer that physics should be 94 points, and biology is 92 points, although it is not like the teachers expected to get a full score, but according to the overall level of Qujiang Province, the two proper subjects are A, and the purpose has been achieved. As for the computer, when the exam is taken in the computer room, there is a computer teacher who will give the answer on the spot, and there is no possibility of not getting an A at all-quality education, quality is so blatant.

After the exam on Wednesday, Lin Miao, who relieved a little pressure, held a press conference on Thursday without stopping.

On Thursday evening, Lin Miao announced to the whole society on the second floor of the newly opened "Lakeside Shopping Center" that Dongou Little Cutie Technology Co., Ltd. has launched the first Chinese search engine in human history, which is of historical significance to the development of China's Internet industry. The reporters who came to the press conference that night collectively blew up.

Listen to what words are used here?!

The first Internet technology search engine in the history of mankind!

The future is high-tech! It's so high-tech!

Later, when Guo Siqi gave a live demonstration to the reporters, everyone suddenly realized that it was a very boring software system......

But no matter what, in Lin Miao's words, this is a product of "cross-era" after all. The reporters took the money and ate, and the next day, the newspapers in Qujiang Province and Beijing and Shanghai collectively contributed traffic, and they really swiped a wave of advertisements for Lin Miao. It's just that the market is immature after all, and after the advertisement is out, people are more concerned about Lin Miao himself, and their attention is not on the product.

Chinese at the end of '96 was indeed too far away from the Internet......

Although the price of the computer has dropped slightly, it still costs more than 10,000 yuan, and the average family rarely can afford it.

There are not even basic hardware conditions, let alone the Internet.

A few days later, many media questioned the issue: "Is Lin Miao going to use two billion to do this kind of illusory business? Is this the so-called future development of putting you alone, or is it the personal interest of a prodigy?

As soon as the voices of doubt came out, the next day Mo Yishi issued an article with hatred to endorse these voices of doubt, and at the same time said something with very ulterior motives: "Although it is necessary for China to develop Internet technology and computer technology, there are still quite a lot of difficulties to be overcome on the road of computer popularization and Internet popularization. In the United States, where technology and application in this area are most popular in the world, the number of Internet users in the United States is currently less than 5% of its total number, and the possibility of a certain domestic technology company claiming that it will make China's Internet users reach more than 50% of the total population within 20 years, is almost zero, which is an irresponsible statement that seriously violates the law of economic development and social development, and if this affects the formulation of policies, it will cause unpredictable consequences for China's overall future development......

Mo Yishi's comments were like essays, and for a while, all kinds of voices in the society condemning Lin Miao for messing around with two billion yuan gathered in the shadows.

Lin Miao looked at the group of red-eyed dogs barking very calmly, and after reading the newspaper, he laughed.

Now he is really fearless, no matter how these people shout, the money is in his pocket anyway, he can spend it however he wants, even if the dogs scream at the throat, it is useless. Not to mention the investment of this kind of thing, he is welcomed all over the world.

If you don't agree with something that the government supports, how old are you?

And from another point of view, the more these people scream, the more durable the advertisements of Someow.com will be. If they can persist in arguing for half a year, China's first Internet era will definitely be equated with Someow.com.

Twenty years later, this advertising fee will be worth 10 billion!

In December 1996, Lin Miao's ears were first crying, then quiet, and then scolding, and time passed like flowing water.

On December 28, Lin Miao was invited by the capital to go north to participate in an award ceremony that no one expected.

In 1996, the National Outstanding Young Pioneers Award Ceremony was ......

That's right, the stinky and shameless Miao Ye still hasn't quit the team, and he has won the award as a matter of course......
