Chapter Sixty-Eight: Praise the Father's Day by Day, Dream of Not Death

On September 28, 2001, the grand bloody legend began public beta, and two months later it began to charge, and the number of online users quickly exceeded 100,000, then 200,000, and it was still growing wildly in 2002.

At the same time, NetEase, which had announced that it would also launch an online game Journey to the West in September, fell silent, and NetEase's 2001 financial forecast was released as soon as it was released, it set off an uproar.

In strong contrast, the new company founded by Ding Lei, who resigned NetEase, made a profit of tens of millions in a short period of time because of its cooperation with Guangzhou Mobile and relying solely on SMS value-added services.

Of course, Lu Qiu would not be stupid enough to push himself to the forefront, so on the bright side, the CEO of NetEase is Xu Xin.

In the face of the surging discussions, NetEase remained silent, and it felt like not breaking out in silence, but dying in silence.

Public opinion generally believes that NetEase is finished, which was once one of the three major portal giants of China's Internet, facing suspension lawsuits in the United States, in China, facing the squeeze of Sina and Sohu's rapid development, the profits brought by the advertising business are getting less and less, and the game department has invested more and more money, in the first quarter of 2002, the performance forecast, again lost 10 million US dollars, especially when after New Year's Day in 2002, NetEase announced the closure of the site, and the reason given was to carry out the revision, but the people who have been paying attention know that they are afraid that they will not wait for the revision, and NetEase has entered the countdown to death!

So, the time came to February 14, 2002, just after the Spring Festival, which coincided with Valentine's Day in the West, and the streets and alleys were filled with sweet atmosphere.

Then on this day, some netizens who habitually clicked on the mending day browser, or used Houyi to download the software, were surprised to see that both of them were written in eight big characters in a conspicuous position, praising the father day by day, and the dream is not dead, not only that, 3721, Alibaba, Tencent QQ, Baidu, are also the same.

So many people curiously clicked on this page, and then entered a new portal, Kuafu.com.

On the same day, NetEase announced that it would change its name to Kuafu.com and launch a daily blog system, so that every netizen can have their own cyberspace, that is, blogs!

And the shock didn't stop there, and it was also on this day that the online game miracle began its open beta, and this 3D blockbuster, which was named the best online game of 2001 and the most popular online game in South Korea, swept the Internet with overwhelming publicity.

Every regular Internet café has posted a promotional picture of a miracle, and the dazzling effect has made players who were still fighting in the legend look away and start paying attention to this game.

In the same month, a female netizen named Mu Zimei published a diary on the blog, which instantly pushed the daily blog to the forefront of public opinion, and the whole society began to discuss the meaning and value of the existence of the blog network.

Kuafu.com said at the first time that although the blog is a private space, it is the obligation of every citizen to abide by national laws and regulations, and the website will do its best to review and strictly control the content, so as not to make the Mu Zimei incident happen again.

The popularity of the Mu Zimei incident has been maintained throughout 2002, in June, the number of registered users of the daily blog exceeded 100,000, the average number of online users was 25,000, and by the end of the year, the number of registered users exceeded 300,000, and Kuafu.com returned to the ranks of the three major portals!

Similarly, two months after the public beta, Miracle began to charge, a single grand discovery, unconsciously Kuafu has installed their self-developed network marketing system in tens of thousands of Internet cafes across the country, Internet café owners only need to register an account, you can recharge for netizens through the network, the same point card channel has not been abandoned, because there are 3721 and brain platinum mature sales channels, miracle two-pronged, the marketing network spread all over the country in a short time.

By the end of 2002, the number of miracle online people at the same time exceeded 500,000, and nearly 200 groups of server groups in 30 service areas were opened in more than 30 large and medium-sized cities in China, and the convenient Internet café sales channels made the whole 2002, the total output value of 1.2 billion created by the online game industry, the miracle accounted for 30 percent, and the other 40 percent was a grand legend.

However, the rise of Kuafu did not stop there, in September 2002, the online game Fantasy Journey to the West began public beta, into 2003 official fees, once the highest number of online reached two million, the online game market from two heroes, into the three kingdoms of hegemony, and the two of the three countries belong to one company, Kuafu!

After the silence in 2001, in 2002, Kuafu.com was like a beast that was born again, dominating the domestic Internet industry.

Throughout 2002, the traffic advertisements brought by online games and daily blogs made the financial report of Kuafu swept away the haze of 01 years, and the net profit was as high as tens of millions of dollars, and Kuafu's stock was also ahead of the NASDAQ market to recover, and it has climbed to a high of $30 in 03 years!

At this time, countless people looked back at the beginning of 2002 and remembered the eight words that appeared on major websites at that time.

Kuafu.com did it!

In just one year, Kuafu.com has climbed to the position of the boss of the domestic Internet portal, Sina Sohu is trembling and frightened because of the rise of this old opponent, and has launched various measures to catch up behind!

However, Lu Qiu will not give them any chance, Chen Tong has been dug up to Kuafu, he will ensure the quality of Kuafu's news, the status of the king of Sina news will be shaken sooner or later, and Sohu's video business Kuafu will also be the first to do it, but that requires further improvement of network bandwidth and streaming media technology, but the planning has already been done. Hou Yi download, these have also become the industry's well-deserved boss, in the Internet companies have not yet realized how important the entrance competition is, Lu Qiu has completed the layout of the entrance, if coupled with the rapid development of QQ and Alibaba, Lu Qiu has almost controlled the most critical Internet entrance in this era, as long as he wants, he can almost lead people to go anywhere he wants!

At this time, no one realized that a giant that dominated China's Internet industry had risen to the top, and every Internet company would have to rely on this giant to survive in the future, even in the era of mobile Internet.

At the end of 2002, Yahoo reached an acquisition agreement with 3721 to acquire 3721 for $100 million in cash and stock, and Pangu Investment made more than ten times the profit on this investment.

This acquisition is a year earlier than the original time and space, that is because of the intervention of Lu Qiu, so that 3721 entered Yahoo's sight earlier, in 2001 3721 profits reached 40 million yuan, 02 years is estimated to double, such an amazing income, in the Internet industry in the general recession, extraordinarily eye-catching!

Zhou Hongyi naturally joined Yahoo China, but Lu Qiu knew that it would not be long before the two parted ways, and Lu Qiu had already found a good place for Zhou Hongyi, that is, the free antivirus he had long wanted to do!

Similarly, in Baidu, which has not made progress, Pangu finally got 30% of the shares, that is, when Robin Li made a desperate bet with a director and promoted the bidding ranking, finally there were shareholders who couldn't stand it to transfer the shares, and Pangu took the opportunity to take over.

Therefore, selling 3721 and increasing Baidu's investment, no matter how you look at it, this is a very correct deal!

The years 2001 and 2002 passed quietly in the midst of such a continuous investment and a dizzying harvest.

And because of the huge amount of investment to get a return is not only these, there is also a return project that makes Luqiu happy more than making tens of billions of dollars, that is, the next generation manufacturing plan!

In the past two years, Lu Qiu and the women have seen the most famous doctors in the world and done countless examinations, but in the end they still did not solve the problem of not being able to get pregnant, until by chance Lu Qiu remembered Nan Huaijin, he suspected that his problem might have something to do with the practice of that set of exercises, so he came to visit, and sure enough, Nan Huaijin told him that that set of exercises is a Taoist cultivation method for refining and refining qi, which will indeed affect fertility, and it is very simple to solve, as long as you stop practicing for a period of time.

Lu Qiu did so, so at the end of 2002, Zhang Ziyi's daughters really got pregnant with a child as they wished, and saw six pot-bellied women standing in front of him, each with their own blood in their bodies, Lu Qiu was indescribably excited and satisfied.

In this way, the year 2002 with a comprehensive bumper harvest has passed, Kuafu's father is completely on the right track, Lu Qiu handed over to Xu Xin and no longer cares, and after two years of precipitation, the former cute boy has long been forgotten by the public, at this time, Lu Qiu returned to his long-lost entertainment industry and began to continue to chase his movie dream.

In May 2003, HN Anyang Shuiye Ancient Town, the movie Peacock was launched, directed by Lu Qiu, and heroine Han Xue.
