"Well, CDs are not easy to sell, but now is the Internet era, you can download this album on the Internet, although this is not very friendly to the Cranberries, but this is also a helpless thing, you can download it first and listen to it, and then buy the album when it is convenient to collect it. Chang Qingqing just posted a reply complaining that he couldn't buy the album, and Chen Yu'an immediately replied.

"That's it, so where can I find the download of this album?" "It's not yet the golden age of P2P downloads, and people like this kind of relatively unpopular album really don't know where to find resources.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at Napster and find the link to send it to you. Well, this is a good opportunity to strengthen the relationship, and Chen Yuan quickly logged on to the Napster website and began to look for downloads for the album.

Napster is an app that lets you download any MP3 file you want from the Internet, and it also allows you to turn your machine into a server for other users to download.

In June 1999, that is, last year, Northeastern University student Sean Fanning and his good friend genius hacker Sean Parker created Napster for searching and sharing MP3 music files among students.

They broke the monopoly of old record companies on music, allowing netizens to download the songs they wanted to listen to for free, and at their peak they had 80 million registered users, and the two Seans became famous.

Warner, BMG, EMI, Sony, and Universal International sued Napster, alleging that it involved millions of infringing songs and demanded $100,000 in compensation for each pirated song, and in February 2000, the court ruled against Napster, and Napster appealed, and the second instance still ruled against Napster.

Napster was then devastated, and the site had to modify its program framework and service processes, as well as remove a large number of music files involved in copyright disputes, which made Napster lose its appeal to netizens, but it still did not reverse the decline of the traditional record industry.

Now that Napster is still available, Chen Yu'an didn't spend much time finding the resources and forwarding them to Chang Qingqing, and while waiting for a reply, he was thinking about the two founders of Napster, Sean Fanning and Sean Parker.

Neither of them sank because of a single defeat, and Sean Fanning developed Rupture, a social networking tool that allows players of the online game World of Warcraft to communicate conveniently.

Sean Parker rode the wave of the Internet, and after a few months of Napster's failed lawsuit, he launched Plaxo, an online address book service that provides customers with very convenient address book import and mutual notification between contacts, and after a brief period of cooperation, he left the company.

Subsequently, Sean Parker saw Facebook on his roommate's girlfriend's computer, and he keenly foresaw that this site would change the Internet, so he immediately flew to New York to meet Zuckerberg, and the two hit it off, Zuckerberg invited Parker to move into the vacation home rented by Facebook, and in this way, at the age of 24, Parker became the first president of Facebook and obtained the original equity of Facebook.

Regarding this, there is a wonderful interpretation in the film "The Social Network" directed by David Fincher, and because he also belongs to the Internet industry, Chen Yu'an knows him more deeply than the movie.

Now that there is still a period of time before Facebook is launched, it is enough for him to accumulate enough funds to invest in Facebook, Chen Yuan kept Sean Parker and Facebook in mind, and then continued to chat with Chang Qingqing without a match.

He and Chang Qingqing have worked together for more than ten years, they have to deal with each other almost every day, they know her personality and hobbies well, and it didn't take much time to win Chang Qingqing's favor and trust, and he successfully got the other party's QQ number and added friends, and Chen Yu'an did not continue to chat in a hurry after adding friends.

Sometimes it's not good to be too eager, say hello to her and go home, at the beginning of the acquaintance, hang the other party's appetite, so that the other party is full of anticipation for the next chat is much better than crackling and saying a lot.

Now that the four members of his core team are all together, then you can consider building a private forum that is not public, so that the five of them can chat in it, hey, there is no QQ group yet, which is really inconvenient.

When the time comes, you can pull them into your own project, Chen Yu'an calculated the time, he estimated that the time to start the plan was almost after the New Concept Essay Competition, and there were still more than four months before that time, enough for the five of them to get acquainted with each other.

On Sunday morning, they slept until noon and woke up at lunch, and in the afternoon, they continued to play football with Yu Jiangfeng, and in the evening, the happy vacation was over, and they had to go to the classroom for evening self-study.

Dig out the math textbook, take out the tutorial materials, while comparing the knowledge points in the book, while pondering how to solve the test questions in the tutorial materials, the time passed unconsciously;

Chen Yu'an didn't take his school bag, so he tucked his physics textbook under his arm, intending to go to the Internet for an hour, collect mail, and see if he could write a new article, but he didn't notice that a girl in front of the classroom had been staring at him for a long time.

Chen Qian felt that her heart was beating a little fast, her face was feverish for a while, she didn't dare to move a step after standing up for a long time, and the statements she had thought of a long time ago in her heart were almost forgotten at this time.

It wasn't until Chen Yu'an walked to the door of the classroom that she finally woke up, and hurriedly chased after her in three steps and two steps, "Hey, Chen Yu'an, wait a minute." ”

"Eh, Chen Qian, what's the matter?" Chen Yu'an took a moment to remember the girl's name, as if she was still talking to herself on the day she read "The Oil Seller".

"Nothing else, it's... It's just that the next issue of "Sprout" hasn't been released yet.,I want to see the article in it early.,So can you lend me that one of yours to see? I promise not to stain or break it for you.。 Chen Qian pretended to be calm and said.

"Oh, okay, but I left the book at home and didn't bring it with me, so I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." Chen Yu'an agreed without thinking too much.

"Thank you then. After Chen Qian finished speaking, she quickly turned around and went back to the classroom.

Chen Yu'an figured out a little bit of taste in his heart, shouldn't he be so nervous just by borrowing books?
