Volume 1 1998 Chapter 25 Neglected Talents

"What's your name?"

The woman took the initiative to ask Li Yuan's name, which made him both happy and distressed.

Under normal circumstances, there are only two possibilities for a woman to take the initiative to ask a man's name, one is to have a crush on him, and the other is simply to make a friend.

Of course, it is a pleasure to be able to make friends with such a delicate beauty, but limited by my age, friendship may be more due to curiosity, which is a bit of a pity.

Li Yuan reported her name and asked her the same question.

"My name is Qiao Ruonan. ”

"Good name!" Li Yuan praised.

"What's so good about the name. ”

"Before answering your question, I want to ask one more question, do you have a sister?"

"yes, how do you know? You know her?"

"I don't know her," Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "But I know that her name must be Qiao Shengnan." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that many people who grow melons and beans will give their daughters this name.

"You guessed it, so what do you guess my brother's name?"

"You don't have a brother. ”

Li Yuan paused for a moment, saw Qiao Ruonan's surprised look, and said, "It seems that I am right." ”

"It doesn't count if you're right. ”

"It's not blind. You see, my sister's name is Katsuo, and my sister's name is Ruonan, what does it mean?"

"What does it mean?" Qiao Ruonan's beautiful eyes were full of doubts, like a little girl who couldn't guess the candy in the box.

"Let me give you an analysis, your father wants a son, but he gave birth to a girl, he will definitely think, it's okay, once he gives birth to two mature ......" Seeing Qiao Ruonan threatening to pinch him, Li Yuan hurriedly changed his words, "He will think, the girl is no worse than his son, and his name will be Shengnan." ”

"Well, and then what?"

"Then you were born, and you looked like a girl again, depressed, forget it, a girl is a girl, just treat it as a son, so, if a man. ”

Qiao Ruonan was angry and funny, and had to admit that what Li Yuan said made sense.

Seeing Li Yuan's smug look, Qiao Ruonan asked, "Even if what you say is right, what does it have to do with whether the name is good or not?"

"Can I call you Sister Qiao?"

The donkey's lips did not answer the horse's mouth, but it made Qiao Ruonan feel a heartbeat.

Qiao Ruonan subconsciously looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one nearby, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and scolded in his heart, Qiao Ruonan, you are really crazy, you will actually be tempted by a little boy.

Qiao Ruonan's heart was filled with guilt, and he spoke a little absent-mindedly.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, Qiao Ruonan took out a mobile phone from his schoolbag, turned sideways to answer the phone.

After answering the phone and looking back, Li Yuan was long gone.

……

Although flirting with a girl is happy, if you don't flirt well, you have to eat prison food, and it is the best policy to run away after flirting.

Li Yuan came out of the health care products area, bought some fresh vegetables and fruits, went to the cashier to settle the account, and deliberately smoked a cigarette at the door of the supermarket, but he didn't meet Qiao Ruonan again, which made Li Yuan a little stunned.

It's not that I have to have something to do with her, and my age doesn't allow me to do that, it's just that everyone has a love for beauty.

After smoking, I drove straight to the compound of the provincial party committee, passed a computer store on the way, and bought a Sharp laptop considering the inconvenience caused by not having a computer.

Chinese people know a lot of Sharp, but they don't use it much.

Sharp has always been a little unaccustomed in China, the mobile phone era was kicked out of the Chinese market, the most successful marketing can be traced back to the early eighties, when Sharp rate with pocket computers, in the country to obtain a large number of government, education and scientific research procurement, so that the high-tech brand image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Sharp has the common problems of Japanese technology companies, leading technology and exquisite craftsmanship, but it does not know how to adapt.

Perhaps arrogance is more appropriate.

Take Sharp's pocket computers that swept the world in the early 80s as an example, this series of computers has both a full keyboard design and a small size, which is regarded as the predecessor of laptops and PDAs, but Sharp later neither led the way in the field of notebook computers, nor did it shine in the PDA market, and the road became narrower and narrower, and finally even the LCD screen technology of the master fell to the point of needing Foxconn's help.

There are many similar examples, such as Sony. Sony's arrogance lies in its ignorance of consumer needs and its superstitious belief in technology. Aside from the well-known plasma TVs and MD players, there are countless failures such as head-mounted home theaters and dancing players, so I won't list them all.

……

The original system of the notebook is WIN95, Li Yuan is not used to it, and asks the boss to help him modify WIN98.

While waiting to make the system, the two chatted.

"You have a really good eye, this laptop is the highest performance in my store, and the hard disk has 12G!" said Ma Nan, the store manager, excitedly.

His excitement was not unreasonable. 12G hard disk put in 20 years later, the installation system is not enough, now it is a genuine large capacity, more than two months after the arrival, there are a lot of people who ask, Li Yuan is the one who pays the money, if it is not for the two of them are both men, he really can't wait to hug Li Yuan and kiss the two fiercely.

The price of nearly 40,000 yuan, to be honest, Li Yuan is also very painful, but seeing that the Lenovo desktop with a similar configuration also costs 20,000, he feels that there is no need to sacrifice convenience in order to save money.

"In fact, it is better for students to buy desktops, with stronger performance and cheaper prices. ”

Ma Nan was overly excited, a little unscrupulous, and when he reacted, he wanted to slap himself with a big mouth, if Li Yuan changed his mind because of this, he could cry and faint in the toilet.

Li Yuan had the intention to tease him, pretending to think seriously, and said, "That's right, why don't you buy a desktop......

"No, it's better to have a notebook. Ma Nan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly persuaded: "After all, the notebook is easy to carry, and it's convenient to go out, isn't it?"

"It's also more expensive. Li Yuan said seriously, seeing that he was in a hurry, he smiled: "Don't tease you, help me install some software after finishing the system." ”

Seeing this, Ma Nan let out a sigh of relief, and promised to come down: "No problem, it's not me bragging, I have any game you want." ”

"It's not a game, it's software. Li Yuan corrected him, crossed his fingers and said, "Needless to say, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash...... By the way, fonts and asset packs also need to be ......"

The more Ma Nan listened, the more incredible he felt, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you want to make a website?"

"I have this idea, but I don't have a foundation, do you have any textbooks to recommend to me? ”

"You're asking the right person!" Ma Nan slapped his thigh, got up and ran into the back room, and after a while, ran out with a thick stack of "books".

It is said to be a book, but it is actually bound on printing paper.

"I borrowed them from the city library and copied them, and some of them were made up by my friends and me, so if you want to make a web page, that's enough. ”

"How much?"

Hearing Li Yuan ask about the price, Ma Nan uncharacteristically hesitated and asked, "You really don't have any foundation at all?"

"Pretty much, I have experience in design, and most of the software is used, and I don't know anything about programming and writing code. ”

This is the truth, Li Yuan was popular in his college days, and in order to make a personalized template, he learned some web design, but making a website and doing a blog template are completely different.

"That's a good feeling!" Ma Nan slapped his palm and said, "Do you think this will work, we will do the website together, you do the design, and I will be responsible for the code, how about it?"

"Hmm......" Li Yuan thought about it.

He does have the idea of making a website, but instead of making a large website, it is the company's homepage, similar to the later Alibaba enterprise stores, which does not have high technical requirements.

Ma Nan's suggestion opened a window for him, and ideas popped up one after another.

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent for a long time, Ma Nan was a little anxious, and asked, "What, you don't believe me?"

"That's not it, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford you. Li Yuan made a joke.

"One thousand, no, five hundred, I only need five hundred yuan is enough, I graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Jizhou University of Technology, I know programming or something, by the way, I also made a forum with people, you can take a look at it......"

Ma Nan opened a machine gun in his mouth and pulled Li Yuan to the computer next to him to signal him to look.

Very simple computer technology exchange forum, divided into hardware, software, programming and other major sections, there is no data statistics function, but look at the number of posts, there are still a lot of active people.

"This is what I did with a few college classmates, and there is an article I wrote on it, and I will show you......"

Ma Nan clicked on the technical exchange section, and what was embarrassing was that the webpage was stuck in a jump state, and it couldn't be displayed no matter how it was refreshed.

"I kind of get the ......"

"No, it's not what you think!" Ma Nan almost roared, making people suspect that he had a celebrity relative who was on the other side of the channel.

Probably realizing that he was too emotional, Ma Nan took a deep breath and said frustratedly: "There are indeed some problems with the forum, but it is not a big problem, and the main reason why we can't open it is because we have no money." ”

"Problems with the server. Li Yuan hit the nail on the head.

"yes, I can't even afford to rent a server without money, plus someone has hacked us lately, to be honest, I don't know how long this forum will last. ”

"That's not right, you make a lot of money selling computers a month, right?"

"I lied to you before, but I'm not the boss, I'm just here to work. ”

I see.

Li Yuan felt that he had grasped the key point of the problem, thought about it, and asked: "Even if the computer science department of the University of Technology is not the top in China, you won't be able to find a corresponding job, right?"

"I've started a business, and I've failed. Ma Nan gritted his teeth and said: "The University of Technology is an undergraduate, and I am a junior college student, and I am not a major in computer science, but I understand everything that undergraduates understand, I have always audited computer classes, and then ......."

"Persuaded to quit by the school?"

"Hmm. ”

Li Yuan knew that this was the case, university education in the nineties was not a duck, and if you dared to skip class, you had to be mentally prepared to be expelled.

"I don't have a diploma, people don't pay attention to me, I remember one time, I finally got an interview, the interviewer asked me what you would do, I said I can program, he said I think you can make up stories...... Later, I was discouraged and came back. ”

"What about the others?" Li Yuan pointed to the computer screen and asked, "What about the people who worked with you on the website?"

"They all graduated from bachelor's degrees, and now two of them are in Beijing and two of them are in Hangzhou, and they are very good, but they are too busy to take care of the forum, and I usually take care of them. ”

"Who's better than them?"

"Of course it's them, in fact, the things taught in school are almost the same, the key is practice, it's not me bragging, give me the same opportunity, I'm not necessarily worse than them." ”
