Zhang Chen returned home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and he called Tang Miaomiao first, it was two o'clock in the afternoon Kyoto time, Tang Miaomiao had just come back from the hospital, Zhang Chen asked about Song Zhaoming's condition, Tang Miaomiao said that the old man had passed the dangerous period, but it would take some time to recover.

After chatting with Tang Miaomiao for a few words, Zhang Chen took a shower, and checked the email again before going to bed.

Ding Lei has been keeping an email report with Zhang Chen, and through the summary of the target progress of OKR, Zhang Chen can clearly understand the progress of the entire project even if he is in the United States.

With the support of human and financial resources, especially the support of computer newspapers and other media under IDG, the shortcomings of the new Netart in terms of content have been strengthened a lot, and the prototype of a media platform has been built.

In a short period of time, most of the news and report information provided by NetEase are temporarily concentrated in the IT field, which is the current advantage of computer newspapers and IDG, and it is also the information that Internet users are most concerned about.

The second is the community, Ding Lei has a lot of experience in doing the community, Zhang Chen only needs to describe to him the form of Xilu and Tianya in the future, including the form of net art BBS, Ding Lei himself can make a decent community, not to mention that now with the help of Wang Xiaochuan, Zhou Feng and others, the community project is the earliest completed in all the work.

Next is the free mailbox, which is a big killer to attract users, now there is no company in China to provide free mailbox services, in the world, there are only a few, the largest of which is Hotmail.

In this day and age, a free email is the best tool to attract users.

Even five years later, major websites have launched their own free mailboxes, but even so, Google is still able to harvest users in droves with Gmail, a large mailbox that far outpaces its competitors.

The reason why Internet companies are reluctant to do free mailboxes now or in two or three years is mainly because they can't see the profit model.

Why is AOL one of the top three Internet companies in the United States? It's simple, because it charges a fee.

In this era, the Internet thinking is far from mature to the extent of later generations, and the criticism and questioning of the free Internet model is even the mainstream, and the bursting of the Internet bubble is of course due to the factors of overheating the market, but it is also very related to the fact that people do not see the mode and possibility of making profits from the free Internet.

Therefore, even now Xinlang and Sohu have begun to prepare, especially Xinlang, the financial strength of the Sitong Group behind it is not weaker than Zhang Chen, but even so, even if Zhang Chen does not give any guidance to Xinwangyi, he can defeat them all by investing money.

Because they dare not invest, and they will not attach as much importance to the Internet market as Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen had previously sent a relatively harshly worded email to Ding Lei, Li Hesheng, Li Zhi, and other senior management, demanding that the consulting team must improve its work efficiency.

Since the advisory group has been engaged in traditional print media, in the process of transitioning to the Internet model, there has been a phenomenon of unadaptability and confusion in guiding ideology.

In this case, the consulting team seriously dragged down the entire project, still adhering to the traditional paper media mentality of publishing once a week, and wrote articles that were mostly carefully worded, resulting in a serious shortage of contributions to the website.

But in the email that Ding Lei replied to this time, this problem has been solved, and the work progress of the consulting group has been mentioned at once, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little curious, and dialed Ding Lei's phone to ask for details.

After asking Ding Lei, Zhang Chen was surprised to learn that this problem was actually solved by a netizen of Ding Lei.

Among them, Ding Lei's netizen was met by Ding Lei in Shuimu BBS, and it is said that he is a graduate student of Beijing Institute of Technology.

After the two met, Ding Lei told netizens that this website was also doing news and information, and the netizen was a fan and was very interested, and asked Ding Lei if he had any plans to do sports news websites.

Ding Lei thought about it, sports news is also the most important news section, anyway, it is better to build up the structure and hand over this part of the content to this netizen for maintenance.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of hard work, the backstage content of the sports section surpassed that of the science and technology section, Ding Lei was surprised and asked netizens, and netizens proudly said that these were all copied and pasted by him from the Internet and then translated.

In addition, netizens also played a great role in the fans and classmates of Beijing Institute of Technology, volunteering to build their own columns for major teams and continue to fill in the content.

Inspired by this, Ding Lei adopted the suggestions of netizens to organize the editors of the technology sector in the form of a 7*24 hour comprehensive network to track the news reports of CNN, NBC and other foreign media in real time.

The reprinting of news is not protected by the copyright law, but the prerequisite is to indicate the reprint, at this point, Zhang Chen specially reminded Ding Lei to pay attention not to fall into the plagiarism storm.

Zhang Chen was curious and asked Ding Lei, the name of the netizen, Chen Tong.

Sure enough, now those who can have a place on the Internet, even if they are just netizens, will be one of the bigwigs in the future.

Zhang Chen asked Ding Lei if Chen Tong would like to come to Netyi, if he wanted, he could be in charge of the sports section and sports community of Netart, and if he performed well, he would consider the next step of improvement.

After making the phone call with Ding Lei, it was almost midnight, and Zhang Chen processed all the emails from Matrix before going to bed.

Tomorrow I have to go to Matrix to track the progress of the iCom project, I have to go to Tinder Source for a meeting in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow I have to visit Andy Grove on intel.

Amazon's listing is imminent, eBay has also launched its IPO plan, and the websites of Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't know what is going on, they have been too busy lately to pay attention to them, alas, too busy and tired.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chen fell asleep on the pillow.

"Sergey, the UI part needs to be adjusted a little more, what I want is a concise and clear interface, and not so many messy decorations after opening, so that users can see at a glance that we only do search. Larry Page said to Sergey Brin.

Sergei shrugged: "Okay, then I'll just leave a Google icon and a search bar, google? What kind of broken name is this? Do we always have to bear the consequences of that woman's misspelling?"

The two originally wanted to register Googol, which means 10 to the hundredth power, but Su Zhuorui misspelled it when she went to register and spelled it google, and Larry Page didn't say anything when he saw it, but renamed the website Google.

"Don't complain, don't you think Google is easier for the masses to remember?" Larry Page looked intently at the screen, "In ten minutes, our search engine will be live!"
