On September 3, 1999, 12 participants from Yanjing, Zhonghai and other cities participated in the "72-hour network survival test" in a private room, which lasted for three days and ended on the 6th.

In the room, there are 1,500 yuan in cash and a credit card with a limit of 1,500 yuan provided by the organizer, as well as the Internet account and password of the local ISP. There are basic living facilities, but there is no water, food, telephone, television...... There is only a computer to communicate with the outside world, and the result is ...... Most of them are starving, even the webworms who are usually familiar with the Internet.

Please note that the volunteers come from three first-tier cities in China. Then you can imagine the popularity of the Internet in other regions... Or rather, there is little popularity.

Quite dramatically, Chen Zier remembers 17 years later, in 2016, there was another test, but this time it was a "72-hour no-network survival test", and the result was: the volunteers said that if there was no network, it would crash in half an hour.

In 17 years, the world has changed.

The 'network survival test' happened not long ago, because of the intervention of CCTV and the reports of more than 10 media, especially the evening newspapers in various places, making this test a household name. At this time, the convening of the investment conference forum is undoubtedly a window for heated discussion among the trendsetters of these times.

At 8 a.m. on September 27, 1999, Chen Zier appeared at the entrance of the hotel, which is a convex structure, and the car comes up from one side, stops, gets off, and then drives down from the other side into the special parking lot.

An hour later, it was time for him to give his welcome speech, and now he was here to greet his guests.

The concentration of people here still surprised him, and as soon as he got out of the car, someone shouted: Mr. Chen, I am XX Network Company, please give me three minutes to read our plan!

"I'm sorry sir, please calm down and don't squeeze forward. ”

Li Zhonghong came over and said apologetically: "I didn't expect so many people to come without invitations, I have communicated with the hotel and increased the security personnel." ”

The first time, there are always some surprises.

Chen Zier only nodded, looking down from above, there were only dozens of people, not crowded, there would be no problems, but the desire to survive of people who lacked money was terrifying, so the emotions of each individual were a little stronger than ordinary gatherings.

But it didn't hinder his work, and in the gap between waiting for someone, Chen Zier smiled at the crowd kindly. He still has no concept of 'surging crowds', this time it is more ruthless than looking back and smiling, so Chen Zier is also honest.

At this time, the two horses who were still the 'little brother' arrived relatively early, and the entourage was very simple, Ma's father even came by taxi, Chen Zier walked up and shook hands with them one by one, and told them that the location was on the fourth floor.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see, long time no see. ”

"Welcome, welcome, you have to talk about it today. ”

……

"I've always wanted to come to Zhonghai to visit you again, have a long talk with you, and learn from you, but Ahri has just started, and there are so many things!"

"It's okay, I can go to Hangzhou to visit your company when I go back. ”

"Really?!"

"Are you welcome?

"Of course you're welcome! How can you not let you see it? I'll let you see it inside and out!"

It's a sentiment. Chen Zier looked at the people coming from behind, "Haha, that's good, I'll definitely go when I have time, you go up first, on the fourth floor." Hey, Mr. Ding, welcome welcome ......"

Daddy Ma can't go to him again to confirm, people are very busy, but he doesn't know if this can be done.

This is someone you know, you don't need to read the invitation, and you can't do it if you don't know it, because this meeting is hard to find, and if you can't keep it, someone will rush in.

Chen Zier doesn't know everyone, such as 8848's Mr. Wang, he doesn't know much, Lianzhong's Mr. Bao, then he is even more unfamiliar, and if you are not familiar, you have to please, these people are very good at this time, 8848 in the 72-hour network test, a big fire, and Lianzhong since its establishment, registered users and website visits have risen sharply, is one of the top game websites in China.

Since they are communicating with each other, Chen Zier feels that it is necessary to invite them over, and he can listen to where the source of failure came from...... Some lessons cost money, but this one is free...... Listening to what they want to do, at least they know a way that doesn't work... When you think about it, you feel like a thief.

And if you invite companies that have achieved great success more than ten years later, it will be too evil to look back......

Of course, Xu Yan also came.

1999 is the year of the portal, Home Credit itself is awesome, and backed by the giant of China Net, so Xu Yan's status at this time is transcendent, today's meeting, there are few people with high specifications, he is now the real boss, but... He was still left at the door by Chen Zier.

"I'm quite bored waiting for someone, you accompany me to pick up people. ”

Xu Yan rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, so as not to go up and be surrounded by a group of people." ”

Chen Zier joked: "You are now the stars holding the moon, just right, the standing posture is a little more standard, help me mention the grade of this meeting, your façade is too easy to use." ”

"Knock me off, who doesn't know your Chen Zier's name now. ”

Chen Zier doesn't have many acquaintances, there is a Sou Hu Mr. Zhang behind him, he knows, he is also quite famous, but in front of Xu Yan, he can't support it.

"Inside please, inside please. ”

This is the first time they have met, they didn't know each other before, but Mr. Zhang seems to know Xu Yan, and he speaks quite politely, shaking his hands together, shaking like Parkinson's syndrome.

"I didn't expect you to know so many people?" Chen Zier joked with a smile, "I would have asked you to come to the 'platform' with me before I knew it." ”

Xu Yan said: "Most of them and I are peers, peers are enemies, you are different, you are their gold master, they are all running for you, I don't believe you will see it later, you stand on the stage and laugh, you will definitely have fun below." Everyone is pointing at the landlord to distribute grain. ”

"Now this situation can't be messed up, otherwise the landlord's family will have no surplus food, and besides, you are also the gold owner. ”

The resources in his hands now are by no means available to ordinary people, so it can also be said about him: Xu Yan laughs so much, and many people will be happy.

But Xu Yan himself knows that the gap between him and Chen Zier is really big, don't look at the infinite scenery in front of people, but the future of this industry is unknown, so in the dead of night, there are often times when he scratches his ears and cheeks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is trembling on thin ice.

After more than half an hour, it was almost over, Xu Yan asked, "Why didn't you see an official?"

Chen Zier said: "The officials are all across the river. Even those who didn't go are looking at the other side, people are walking high, looking up, their minds are not with us. ”

Xu Yan thought for a while and said, "Next time, you can invite some officials from the State Information Center to come over, it's useless not to approve just the hot discussion we have discussed." ”

Chen Zier's face darkened, "There is no next time, really when my old Chen's money fell from the sky, I organize people to come over and send money to play every year?"

There is no next time? Xu Yan couldn't control this matter, seeing that it was almost over, he was about to leave first, Li Zhonghong came out of it and bumped into him and said, "I'm looking for you, will you make a short speech in a while?"

Chen Zier said next to him: "He has two sessions in the afternoon, and it adds up to an hour and a half, so let him rest in the morning." ”

Xu Yan and Li Zhonghong exchanged a few polite words, and then accompanied Chen Zier to the fourth floor, his stature was slightly shorter than Chen Zier, but no one would pronounce the word short when the two stood together.

They are the two bigwigs of this forum!

The young Chen Tianqiao could only settle in the back row of the hall, when Chen Zier and Xu Yan's figures appeared at the door, the crowd that had gathered in twos and threes suddenly projected their eyes over there, and everyone knew in their hearts what the weight of Mr. Chen of Shengshi Investment and Mr. Xu of Jitzo Network were now.

And the two people in the picture, Chen Zier is wearing a black suit, a magenta tie, his right hand is in a pocket, and his left hand is making regular gestures and discussing something with Xu Yan, with a smile on his face, calm and confident. Xu Yan on the opposite side was wearing a gray suit, he pursed his lips and nodded frequently, occasionally replying to that, but more often listening, looking very intimate. These two bigwigs get together to give people a different aura......

The people around him were quite excited to show their companions, and some people in the front row asked how to get a separate interview with Mr. Chen.

During the whispered discussion, he heard someone talking and laughing: "When Mr. Xu started his business a few years ago, he got the investment of Mr. Chen's prosperous life, and now Home Credit is in full swing, and this vision is also convincing." ”

Chen Tianqiao listened to and discussed most of the two bigwigs in front of him, mainly because of the anecdotes of how Xu Yan got the investment, in short, it was inseparable from these two names......

I think he was also a high-achieving student before, and he was the vice president of a state-owned enterprise, but at this moment, what about this place and this field? But he didn't lament too much, but he still had the pride of starting a business, and looked at Chen Zier and Xu Yan, who were infinitely beautiful...... I can't help but shout the sentence 'The husband should be like this' in his chest!

But as far as Chen Zier himself is concerned, there is a point in his heart that is placed on the Jiang side, and he has looked forward to this stage, but the day when it is truly realized, he still feels that it is a little insufficient.

Despite the excitement of the attendees, Lee Jong-hong came running over again to report that someone had infiltrated the hotel and tried to break into the fourth floor, holding up the business plan in his hand like a madman.

Chen Zier glanced at him, "Break through?"

"The mood seemed a little excited. ”

"Then help him calm down, so many people can still let him break in alone?"

"I see. ”

"You don't have to do it, it's 9 o'clock, let's get started. ”

Xu Yan and Chen Zier made a final greeting, and then went to the middle of the first row to sit down, and several people nearby immediately put on smiling faces and lined up to reach out politely.

Chen Zier tidied up his clothes and officially stepped onto this small stage in the sweet voice of the host.

"First of all, I am very grateful to all friends, peers for taking the time to attend this Internet investment conference forum, I feel very honored and happy, in addition to this seat ranking, please understand, it is really not easy to rank, according to the surname pinyin ranking, Mr. Bao is happy, but Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang are going to go to the corners, according to the stroke of the surname, Mr. Wang is happy, but Mr. Bao should cry again. ”

Chen Zier's speech is always in a relaxed style, because he himself is more relaxed and natural, if you want him to be serious, then you may not be able to get nervous.

As soon as this little joke began, the people sitting around the table below really laughed.

"I also know that everybody is paying attention to the Fortune Forum on the other side, this year is the turn of the century, and the third year after the Asian financial crisis, and it is the fiftieth anniversary of our country, and the topic is also very good, China: The next fifty years. ”

"It's a big issue, bigger than ours... Just now, Mr. Xu also told me that the time I chose was not good, people had *** speech, there was nothing on our side, there was no media attention at all, and the shadow of a TV station at the door of the hotel could not be found. ”

"I want to say that it doesn't matter whether others pay attention or not, the key is that we have to discuss our own topics. Besides, close the door and let me say a word, the CEO over there, the president, which one is not over fifty years old? I think we are basically in our twenties and thirties, and there are few people over thirty-five, so how can you say that? The world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis, it is still yours. I often hear people say that Mr. Chen, invest it, you can't play the Internet without capital, but I want to say that youth is capital!"

The atmosphere, which was originally a little sluggish because of the Fortune Forum, finally became active at this time, and several bigwigs also applauded frequently.

Although Chen Zier made a little joke about Xu Yan, he didn't care, but sat down and laughed very happily, and said to Mr. Zhang next to him: "His eloquence and self-confidence are stronger than when I first came into contact with him. ”

"It's hard to believe he's only 22 years old, but I'd like to hear what he understands about the internet next. ”

After the applause stopped, Chen Zier continued: "The Internet is also young, not a few years, but it has grown rapidly, the largest Internet service provider in the United States AOL provided a figure, their Internet members have increased from 300,000 in 93 to 15 million in 98. In fact, another figure highlights the future of the Internet, that is, Roper-Starch-orldide, a research institute that conducted a survey of 1,000 Internet users in the United States in August last year, and found that nearly half of them believe that the Internet is a necessity of life. What does it mean? It shows that the Internet will inevitably bid farewell to the minority and welcome the masses!"

Everyone has savored this sentence, bid farewell to the niche, and welcome the public, which is where the confidence of Shengshi Investment to invest in the Internet lies, and it is also the judgment of this leader with excellent vision on the industry......

"The number of Internet users in our country is expected to exceed 8 million this year, which is not a fraction of what they did last year, but our population is more than three times that of the United States, and this is a huge opportunity......

"That's the first point, the second point, when it first started in 1998, Amazon's stock price wasn't as high as it is now... E-commerce is learning to crawl forward, but the year-end Christmas in the United States, with millions of people shopping online and totaling $2 billion more than originally estimated, is also an opportunity...... So in the afternoon e-commerce session, I hope to have ideas that are suitable for our own market, and if there is, Shengshi will not be stingy with capital. ”

Chen Zier glanced at Ma's father, he was smiling, but his expression was quite solemn... Was this deliberately teasing him?
