There is only one Xinhua bookstore in Longyu County, which is located on Hongqi Road in the west of the county seat.

Before dawn on Sunday morning, a young man in his twenties appeared at the door of the bookstore at some point.

The young man's surname is Wang, and his single name is a "laugh", and he is solely responsible for the acquisition of "Baidu domain name".

Wang Xiao is in his third year of graduate school this year, studying in the Department of Communications of Yenching University of Posts and Telecommunications, and has just joined Baidu for less than a month.

Although he has not yet graduated, he has his own career plan, and he believes that his first job after graduating from college is very, very important in life, so he joined Baidu, which has an uncertain future.

In his own words, as long as there is a dream, it will do.

Wang Xiao is not a person who keeps to himself, he likes to innovate and do things that others have not done, so he volunteered and took over the first task after joining Baidu, which can be regarded as his "vote for name".

Some people may ask, how can Baidu send a newcomer to the company to buy its own domain name, this is too hasty, right?

The reality is, it's not sloppy at all.

Because Baidu has not yet been established at this time, no one is available at all, Wang Xiao, who has just joined Baidu for less than a month, is one of its founders, and his ability is absolutely undoubted.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xinhua Bookstore opened on time, which was still early and there were few visitors in the bookstore.

Wang Xiao got angry with a book, wiped the sunlight on his body, and walked in.

He first paced around the bookstore, and there didn't seem to be any books in his eyes, so he picked out a book about C programming and sat down in a corner of the bookstore.

About ten minutes later, a young man caught his attention, because the young man's eyes had been on him from the moment he entered the door.

"Hello. ”

Wang Xiao stood up, looked at the young man with a calm gaze, and took the lead in introducing himself: "Wang Xiao, the king of princes and generals, laughing heartily, Yanjing is here...... I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring my business card. ”

Actually, it's not that I forgot to bring my business card, but that the company's structural framework has not yet been decided and cannot be printed, but he said it very casually, as if he was answering someone else's one plus one equals two.

Su Qingzhi stood opposite him, his eyelashes moved slightly, and Gujing said without waves: "Su Qingzhi, Su of the Soviet Union, Qing of Emperor Jiaqing, knows everything." ”

One is the "king" of the princely generals, the other is the "Qing" of the Jiaqing Emperor, plus a big brother of the Soviet Union, the two young people collided when they first met, which can be described as "needle-to-wheat".

Of course, the "collision" here has no derogatory meaning, but more refers to the ideological friction with each other, their self-confidence is cast in this fiery era, vigorous, dare to fight, and they have a newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's spirit.

"I'm curious, how did you register the domain name 'Baidu', and do these two words have any special meaning?" Wang Xiao asked his question straight to the point.

Su Qingzhi said: "When I saw the phrase 'everyone looking for him thousands of degrees', I thought it was very interesting, so I registered the domain name 'Qianbai', and after registration, I found that 'Baidu' seemed to make sense, and I registered it by the way." ”

Wang Xiao was a little speechless, not knowing how he would feel when he fed back this unexpected answer to Li Yanhong, who also had doubts about it......

It's funny to think that the domain name of the company name that they were amazed by was registered by the way.

"You said in the email that you agreed to transfer Baidu's domain name, what is your expectation in terms of transfer fees?"

Wang Xiao is a typical science and engineering man, and he is used to going straight. In his opinion, doing business, buying and selling, and talking about money does not hurt feelings.

Su Qing knew that he was quite profound, so he did not answer this question directly, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think, what is the value of Baidu's domain name?"

This is tantamount to pushing the hot potato to Wang Xiao in disguise.

"I think it's just a commodity that can circulate freely in your hands, but in my heart, it's a brand, a national brand that may stand at the top of the world in the future. ”

Wang Xiao said very calmly, but there was a confidence in his bones that he would never admit defeat, and his aura was very strong.

Su Qingzhi said: "I agree with the second half of your sentence, but the first half of the sentence ...... You are wrong, in my eyes, Baidu's domain name is not a commodity, but a gift. ”

Gift?

Wang Xiao was stunned, and he didn't even pay attention to the sentence "agree with the second half of your sentence" that Su Qingzhi missed, and all his thoughts focused on the word "gift".

How can Baidu's domain name be a gift?

Su Qingzhi took out paper and pen from his schoolbag, the paper was the transfer contract of Baidu's domain name, and the pen was a black signature pen, and then pushed it to Wang Xiao opposite.

Wang Xiao browsed the domain name transfer contract in confusion, and finally showed a surprised expression: "Zero yuan transfer?"

Su Qingzhi smiled: "Don't be so surprised, I said that Baidu domain name is just a gift in my eyes." Since it's a gift, how can you charge for it?"

At this time, Wang Xiao was completely stunned, he was ready for Su Qingzhi to open his mouth, but the other party did not play according to the routine, and forcibly held back all the words he had prepared.

"You, you're ......" He was no longer breezy and his thinking was a little messy.

Su Qingzhi smiled and didn't explain too much, he pointed at the transfer contract with his index finger, and said: "Sign it, there is no trap, just help me bring a few words to you Boss Li, the green mountains are always there, the green water flows forever, he meets in the rivers and lakes, and Boss Li owes me a favor." ”

Wang Xiao felt that he was in a fog, and he signed the transfer agreement in a daze, and he got the Baidu domain name without spending a penny, which was a bit unreal.

"By the way, let me tell you Boss Li, I am Su Qingzhi, Su of the Soviet Union, Qing of Jiaqing, and the omniscient Zhi!"

Su Qingzhi waved his hand to him, greeted the rising sun, and left Xinhua Bookstore with a move.

Wang Xiao found a public phone booth and dialed Yanjing's phone number: "Hey, Mr. Xu, yes, it's me...... All went well, the domain name is in hand. However, the other party did not ask for a penny...... Well, I didn't ask for a penny. ”

The "Mr. Xu" mentioned by Wang Xiao is named Xu Yong, graduated from the Department of Biology of Yenching University, studied in the United States to obtain a doctorate, and then returned to China to start a business, and is also one of the founders of Baidu.

Xu Yong, Wang Xiao, and five other founders, including Li Yanhong, were later known as the "Baidu Seven Musketeers".
