Chapter 4: Looking back, she's still the same
Jiangying City has not produced a well-known Internet company. In addition, it is a county and city level, which is not as convenient as a big city in many aspects, and the news it has come into contact with is not the earliest.
But in the same way, the public security environment in Jiangnan Province is very good, and the most important thing is that as the vanguard of the county economy in Jiangnan Province, Jiangying City is very supportive of entrepreneurship in all aspects.
Especially when technology is at the cutting edge.
In 1998, what was cutting-edge technology?
Computers count!
Why?
This is because from the beginning of July 1998 to June 30, the Internet Network Information Center announced that as of June 30, the number of Internet users in China was only nearly 1,175,000, of whom about 325,000 were direct Internet users, about 850,000 were dial-up Internet users, and 542,000 computers were connected to the Internet, of which 82,000 were directly Internet computers.
This is almost disproportionate compared to a country of 1.3 billion people.
One is that computers are expensive, and the other is that things are scarce.
During this period, the most profitable use of computers was not the early Internet companies.
Even the Internet companies that have already opened cannot find a profitable direction other than making some software and games.
For example, Kingsoft Software has been in existence since 1988, and then it has developed the word processing system WPS, and released the earliest RPG game and dictionary software in the mainland, "Kingsoft Word Tyrant". But if there was no uninterrupted injection of funds, it would have stopped a long time ago.
Why?
Piracy!
Because of the piracy problem, Bill Gates also made a special trip to China, which shows how difficult the market was at that time!
At this stage, the Internet bubble is the most difficult to influence, and there is no shortage of profits, but Internet cafes, or in some places called computer rooms.
Xu Hui recalled the development of the Internet in the future, although it is now 1998, but it is too close to 2000, and one by one Internet bigwigs will soon enter the market, so he must first do the accumulation of funds.
When it was time for dinner, Xu Hui didn't go to find Zhong Tao, Zhong Tao had already run over, and Li Cong, the dog-legged man, didn't know where he went.
"Let's go, look at the house!"
Although the property market has begun to be extravagant in the 90s, there are no particularly tall buildings in Jiangying City.
At this time, as long as the rent is not a storefront house, the rent of a house of dozens of square meters is only a few hundred a year.
In addition, Zhong Tao is rich and generous, so he doesn't care too much about two or three hundred more, or two or three hundred less.
Fitment?
Inexistent!
Computer desks?
Inexistent!
That is, add a row of the cheapest tables like those in a snack bar, and you can put the host underneath.
Saving is also king!
Dinner time has been finalized, and the location of the Internet café is already very good.
However, when he was studying at night, Jiang Chi asked someone to pass a note to Xu Hui, with a very simple line: "We are about to go to college, is it okay to open an Internet café here?"
Xu Hui smiled when he saw it, didn't answer immediately, and waited until the end of the evening self-study before saying a few words.
After all, even if people are here all the time, it is impossible to stare at an Internet café!
The two talked and laughed and walked towards the dormitory of the junior high school, and slowly Xu Hui's pace slowed down.
"Let's go!" Jiang Chi shouted.
Xu Hui followed, but his eyes fell on the girl in front of him.
First love is always unforgettable!
Uncle Benshan said, you don't understand love at all when you are in your first love.
But many people remember their first love for a lifetime, or even be lonely for a lifetime.
For the current Xu Hui, he hasn't seen this girl for more than 20 years.
It's just that Xu Hui was a very well-behaved baby in his previous life, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to fall in love at school.
Therefore, the crush hurts the most, and it is over before it starts.
Of course, Xu Hui's story is far from that simple.
When I saw Li Ye for the first time, Xu Hui was in his third year of high school, and Li Ye happened to enter the first year of high school, both of whom were boarders, but there was no connection at all.
It wasn't until Xu Hui went back to high school when he was about to graduate from junior college that he saw Li Ye's contact information and got in touch, but at that time, Li Ye was a freshman and already had a boyfriend.
The most outrageous thing is that Li Ye's boyfriend became friends with Xu Hui, and finally after Li Ye graduated, he inexplicably married a local person.
Since then, there has been no contact.
And now, people are ahead!
Xu Hui walked slowly, quietly looking at his back, and didn't step forward immediately, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
What was missed in the previous life, cannot be missed again in this life.
What the predecessor didn't do, this life can do!
A group of boarders, all the way to the big cafeteria.
That's right, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and you have to go to the big cafeteria to continue self-study, this is the life of a boarder.
It wasn't until the end of self-study at half past nine that Xu Hui walked in front of Li Ye and directly blocked the way of the three girls.
"Hold it, what is Brother Guangjun going to do?" a boy next to Jiang Chi shouted.
This is a boy in the first year of high school named Liu Miao, because the dormitory is not enough, he is in the same dormitory as Xu Hui and Jiang Chi.
Liu Miao's shout, many people all turned their heads to look over.
Several girls were shocked.
Xu Hui smiled slightly, looked at Li Ye with a soft gaze and stretched out his hand: "Li Ye, my name is Xu Hui, I am in the first class of high school, let's get to know me!"
"I'll it, it's too straightforward!"
"Is Brother Guangjun dying? There are still a few months to take the college entrance examination, so I'm not afraid of being expelled if I do this!"
Puppy love is still something that can't be talked about at school at this time, and when Xu Hui was a sophomore in high school, a pair of senior high school students were expelled.
The reason is very simple, those two goods actually eloped!
After the elopement was caught, in front of the teachers and parents, the two shouted "I just love him"!
After that incident, the school was even stricter about early love.
The three first-year high school girls were stunned and didn't move.
Li Ye is still like that in his memory, although he is only one meter and six years old, his hair is shoulder-length and his melon seed face is very delicate.
Xu Hui even remembered that when he first met Li Ye, the other party was wearing white pants and a red shirt, which gave Xu Hui an indescribable feeling.
It's like the heart has been struck, and it was love at first sight!
At this time, Li Ye's face was flushed and he was at a loss.
Xu Hui didn't force the other party's appearance, but smiled: "It's okay, let's get to know each other today, and I'll talk to you when you're free!"
"Xu Hui, what are you doing!" a teacher shouted in the distance.
"It's nothing, everyone has a love for beauty, probably just want to get to know girls, talk about ideals, talk about life, and develop together. Xu Hui said with a grin.
I can't say the same about other old antique teachers, but this teacher only graduated from college last year, and he has a good relationship with Xu Hui and Jiang Chi.
"Be careful, the impact is not good, don't be seen by other teachers!" the little flat-headed teacher whispered, making several girls even more shy.
Xu Hui laughed in a low voice: "Caught up with Teacher Gu?"
"No, since ancient times, there has been affection and empty hatred, and self-hatred is endless!"
Teacher Xiao Pingtou raised his head, looking like "I would have been to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch", which is actually a teasing.
Xu Hui shook his head after hearing this: "Where there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world, you will love a jujube unrequited." Teacher Xiao, the jujube tree has thorns!"
A few girls laughed when they heard this.
"Get out!" Xiao Pingtou scolded with a smile: "What do you want to say, why don't I turn on the lights in the cafeteria again, and you go in and talk slowly?"
