On Thursday, August 24, 1995, it was a colorful day in the history of computer development, and the epoch-making 95 was officially released.

"You can hide under a bridge, row out into the middle of the ocean, hide behind a couch and cover your ears, but as soon as you get close to the newspapers, the radio, the television, the shops, you're in the middle of the multimillion-dollar propaganda of 95. ”

This is the Washington Post's report on the high-profile publicity before the release of 95, in fact, Microsoft cost far more than a few million dollars, but as much as 300 million dollars, the most expensive commercial marketing campaign in human history, so when the day comes, almost all the world's technology-related media will focus on Microsoft.

Due to the time difference, when Bill Gates introduced various exciting new features of 95 to more than 70,000 viewers at Microsoft headquarters, Cloud City was already August 25th, because 95 built-in Internet Explorer developed by Du Qiu, which attracted many media reporters to come for interviews, making the Snapdragon headquarters, which had been deserted for less than a week after the Internet conference, crowded again.

It's a pity that this group of reporters pounced, and Du Qiu left Yuncheng by plane at noon on the 24th to send his grandfather back to his hometown - after Lin Jiayin's godgranddaughter was born, Du Cunzhi returned to his heart like an arrow, because it was very close to the registration date for the opening of primary school on September 1, and he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't leave the school in his hometown.

After the Internet conference, Jiang Danfeng officially resigned from Snapdragon, Bai Yuquan took over the position of administrative manager, became the new big butler of Snapdragon, he politely and thoughtfully entertained: "Everyone, although Mr. Du is not there, but before leaving, he instructed us to open a live post in the company's official forum, interested friends please come to the conference room, everyone watch the live broadcast, while communicating." ”

"What is a live post?"

"Snapdragon sends a few employees to Microsoft's headquarters in Seattle every quarter for training, and today those employees are at the launch event, relaying their posts on forums via mobile phones and computers, and live-streaming the event in real time. ”

"Yo, that's pretty fresh. Let's go, go and see. ”

"Not only is it fresh, but you can also get first-hand news materials by interviewing the audience and Microsoft employees through reply-to-post sessions. ”

At the opening ceremony of the Internet conference on August 18, Du Qiu touted the Internet, believing that its advantages in information dissemination would change the world.

"Bill Gates and NBC TV famous talk show host Jay-Leno hosted the press conference to introduce the various features of 95 in the form of a question and answer......"

"May I ask if Bill Gates mentioned Mr. Du when he introduced the browser?"

"Nope. ”

"Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer danced on stage, and the two were so excited that they clapped their hands and danced at the same time, which was very funny, like going to a party. Brother Zhao took a photo with a digital camera and uploaded it to you after the press conference. ”

"Take a few more photos, it's better to take a few solo photos of Bill Gates up close, our newspaper will charge you at a high price!"

"The two stars of 'Friends,' Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, made an instructional video disc for 95, and they are said to have been there as well, but we didn't see it. ”

"Wow, Aniston is the girl of my dreams, if only I could take a picture of her......"

On this day, for the first time, domestic netizens paid attention to major international events through live broadcast on the Internet, which was also a historic initiative in a sense, which not only amazed and amazed the reporters who came to interview, but also attracted the attention of netizens all over the country, making the number of people online at the same time in the sky of the official Snapdragon forum Dragon break through the 1,000 mark in one fell swoop.

In 1995, there were very few domestic netizens, and after the dragon sky was launched in May, it soon became the most popular forum in China, but even so, before the opening of the Internet conference, the total number of registered people was less than 2,000 people, and the highest number of people online at the same time was only 419 people, and now the number of people online at the same time exceeded 1,000 people, more than doubled, indicating that under the extensive coverage of the media, the Internet conference has produced a very positive effect and stimulated more people to understand and use the Internet.

However, the focus of the media also has side effects, that is, Du Qiu's personal life has been seriously disturbed, because the twists and turns of his life experience and the myth of crazy skyrocketing wealth are very newsworthy, and have become a sweet spot in the eyes of major media, according to Dai Yi's statistics, from August 18th to 24th, in just six days, his photos appeared on 15 provincial TV stations and 43 newspapers distributed nationwide, and he evolved into a big celebrity who is unknown to everyone in the world in a few days.

"Wow, look, that's Du Qiu, right?"

Help me take a group photo. ”

"Mr. Du, can you help me sign it?"

Because there was no direct flight to Spring City in Yuncheng, Du Qiu went to the capital first, stayed there for a day, went to the Dongying Embassy to get a passport, and then took a plane from the capital to Spring City.

In the waiting room of Beijing International Airport, Du Qiu signed a name for a little Lori who came accompanied by his parents, leaned back in the chair, took off the baseball cap that seemed to be useless, covered his face, and sighed in English: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this sentence is very reasonable." ”

Jennifer, who was sitting next to her, smiled gloatingly and said, "Qiu, I have long reminded you that you have to adapt to the identity of a celebrity as soon as possible, and you will be more famous in the future, so it is best to hire a professional team of bodyguards, which will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

"Maybe you're right. Du Qiu didn't dwell on this question, and instead asked: "My hometown is very ordinary, there is neither beautiful scenery nor long history, what are you doing with me?"

Jennifer was wearing an oversized pair of aviator sunglasses, which covered half of her face, and she couldn't see her expression, but shrugged her shoulders and said, "Your dad invited me to be a guest." ”

"He's just a courtesy invitation, you know etiquette?"

"Your father is a respectable gentleman, and I, as a lady, cannot refuse his invitation, even if it is courteous. Jennifer pointed to Aiko Komatsu, who was shopping with Du Cunzhi and Jiang Danfeng not far away, and asked, "Why did that Dongying woman go to your hometown?"

"She resigned from the Toei embassy and is now my personal business assistant and will follow me from Spring City to Osaka the day after tomorrow. ”

Jennifer was a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't you just hire a business assistant the day before yesterday?" I still remember her name, Bai Jie, right?"

Bai Jie is Jiang Danfeng's new private secretary recruited for Du Qiu, she used to work in the Pearl Hotel, and on the morning of the opening ceremony of the Internet conference, she had brought breakfast to Du Qiu.

Later, after Jiang Danfeng's introduction, Du Qiu knew that he had misunderstood, in 1995, the title of "manager" had not been depreciated to the point that everyone had it, and Bai Jie's account manager position was equivalent to the marketing director 20 years later, and he was responsible for managing the relationship between the political and business circles, and belonged to the senior management personnel second only to the general manager in the five-star hotel.

In 1990, China carried out the first hotel star rating work, and the first batch of five-star hotels was only 5, including three in Yangcheng, one in Beijing, one in Pujiang, and the one in Pujiang was the Jing'an Hilton Hotel, which opened in 1988.

In the 80s, there was a shortage of talents in China, and secondary school students were all allocated by the package, and when the Hilton Hotel opened, in addition to requiring the waiters to have good looks and good figures, they were at least college degree and must know foreign languages.

Bai Jie entered the hotel industry at that time, she worked at Hilton for six years, from an ordinary restaurant waitress to a sales manager, because she was born and raised in Yuncheng, last year when the only five-star hotel Pearl Hotel in Sanjiang Province opened, she was dug back from Pujiang with a family card.

Jiang Danfeng is a material girl, often goes to the Pearl Hotel to spend, and has known Bai Jie since she came and went, knowing that she understands English, Japanese and some French, is good at dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, and has been married and has children, so she doesn't have to worry about scandals, so after Du Chunhua urged her once, she quickly recommended Bai Jie to Du Qiu.

After the interview, Du Qiu was very satisfied with Bai Jie's flexible and efficient and principled work ability, and Bai Jie was also very satisfied with the high salary and unlimited development prospects given by Du Qiu.

Du Qiu is an otaku, with a simple social circle, and he doesn't like to toss, and he doesn't really need a full-time private secretary, after finding that Bai Jie's ability is very good, when he was drawing up the contract, he changed the personal secretary to a personal business assistant to assist him in doing some business that has nothing to do with Snapdragon.

"Bai Jie is my business assistant in China, and Aiko is my business assistant in Dongying. Du Qiu pushed the brim of his hat, looked sideways at Jennifer, and laughed: "I still have a business assistant in the United States, are you interested?"

"Give me 5% of the Snapdragon shares, and I'll be your assistant. Jennifer Lion opened her mouth, raised her right hand, spread her slender white fingers, shook it in front of Du Qiu, and said, "Business assistant, life assistant, financing assistant, public relations assistant, and even love assistant, you can do it." ”

"I can understand the first four assistants, what is the last love assistant doing?"

"All the female stars in Hollywood, as well as the supermodels in Paris, Milan and New York, I can introduce them to you. Jennifer approached Du Qiu and whispered, "Many of them are like me, they like both men and women, and I can be your Trojan horse." ”

With that, she flicked her sunglasses down with her index finger, revealing a pair of seductive eyes, and added with a chuckle, "If it were you, I wouldn't mind playing threesomes." ”

Du Qiu's body was more sensitive than ordinary people, and as soon as he teased it, his phantom limbs were immediately ready to move, and he felt unbearable, so he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go and see what they have bought yet, why haven't they bought it yet." ”8)
