In Tochoi's cafeteria.

Li Wenxiu met Liu Baosheng for the first time during dinner.

Called Teacher Liu.

Liu Baosheng was also an accident.

The person who ate at the table with him was a girl, quite young and delicate, who should be a graduate student led by Liu Baosheng.

"You're here for dinner?"

As he spoke, he greeted the girl on the side.

"Qin Wen, you pull a stool for Li Wenxiu. ”

There are not many leaders like Liu Baosheng, and of course, if Li Wenxiu didn't perform well enough, he would definitely be worse.

He actually knew that after all, Zhang Bo's big mouth had reminded him a long time ago that Liu Baosheng had always intended to let Li Wenxiu be his student.

It's just that he himself has been hesitating about this matter, and Li Wenxiu really doesn't have much interest in graduate school.

Take the path of academics.

Not to mention talent, at least you have to be able to sit on the cold bench and endure loneliness, the reason why you went to graduate school in your last life was to find a good job after all.

There is definitely no need to worry about the problem of work in this life, so graduate school is not so urgent.

It's just a rare opportunity.

An academic expert like Liu Baosheng usually doesn't accept students easily, and he looks up to himself, not only because of those two articles.

To put it bluntly, I am optimistic about my own potential.

It's just that I'm afraid Liu Baosheng himself doesn't know that Li really wants to talk about academic potential, and Li Wenxiu doesn't have it.

"No, Mr. Liu, I still have something to do later, I want to take it back to eat, you can eat it slowly." ”

In Qin Wen's stunned expression.

Li Wenxiu directly rejected Liu Baosheng's invitation, which is rare.

If ordinary people can seize such an opportunity to eat with the dean, they will really squeeze up with a red neck.

But this guy didn't pay attention to it at all, and he looked like I was too busy to have dinner with you, which was really different.

Until Li Wenxiu finished cooking and went downstairs.

Liu Baosheng scolded with a smile on his face, "This kid is busier than me as a dean all day long, and I don't know what I'm tossing around." ”

Qin Wen was also very curious.

I couldn't help but ask.

"Teacher, who is he?"

In fact, I am still a little jealous in my heart.

Liu Baosheng is her mentor, and he has never been so kind to himself and his brothers and sisters in the same class.

"Li Wenxiu, an undergraduate student in the business management class, was written by him last time I showed you the article. ”

I don't know what Liu Baosheng was thinking, so he said a word, and left first after eating two bites.

Back to the dorm.

Li Wenxiu actually didn't lie.

He's really got something.

In the afternoon, Tian Ke and Wei Dazhong in the studio had already made an appointment with him to go outside to see the house together.

The studio that I rented in October was originally intended to be used for a few years, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

A few days ago, the district issued a notice that it would be demolished, and the landlord did not take advantage of them and returned part of the rent.

I just said that I would move to another place as soon as possible.

Li Wenxiu pondered.

It's definitely not a way to move around all the time, so I have to make up my mind to buy an independent small courtyard.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there were still a lot of such small buildings in Shanghai, and they were not located in the center of the city.

However, the place Li Wenxiu chose is also quite suitable, it happens to be close to the commercial center in the district, and it is convenient for water and electricity.

The house is the kind of old house in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and the area is large enough that the owner will follow his son and daughter-in-law to the United States in September, and it is useless to keep this house at home.

Li Wenxiu spent nearly a million yuan to get the house and foundation, but it was in his name.

I didn't tell Tian Ke that the house was bought by myself, but that it had been rented for a long time.

Had dinner in the afternoon.

I went to see the house at 1 o'clock.

It went all around in circles.

The house is quite suitable.

Out of the upstairs and downstairs, there is an attic on the top, living 3 no, too cold in winter, too hot in summer, but it is still okay to stack some sundries.

Behind the house is the road, and in front of it there is a yard that is not too small.

When the old owner left, he probably didn't clean up much, and in addition to an old vine that had climbed all over the shelves, there were also two vegetable patches along the foot of the wall.

The garlic and Shanghai cabbage in it are rising well.

I usually stay up late to make noodles or something, and I don't have to worry about no condiments.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Asaha Ke asked Wei Dazhong.

The two nodded.

"It's good, but we have to clean up the inside, I think the first floor is a bit small for a machine room, and it's better to find a few workers to get through the two rooms in the middle."

In this way, the ventilation conditions will be better, and it is better to make a separation wall near the staircase, and the inside will be renovated. ”

Computer servers are more expensive, and they used to be in a single room separated by plastic film.

I also spent a lot of money to buy an air conditioner to control the temperature, and I usually control the dust and everything strictly.

If you change to a new place, you naturally have to pick up and pick up.

Not to mention that you have to get a dust-free machine room or something, but you have to design it anyway.

"This is no problem, I'll find someone to do it right away, if you need something, you can look at it when the time comes, make a list, and we'll go back and configure it completely."

I guess we're going to have to stay here for two or three years. ”

Li Wenxiu actually underestimated the potential of the website they designed, but that's the way it is.

It can't be said that his vision is too narrow.

In his previous life, Li Wenxiu was not a computer major after all, although he saw some superficial things, but he had not actually touched it, it was still a little worse.

In the year 2000, the world's Internet industry was experiencing an unprecedented bubble.

Big companies like Yahoo are overwhelmed by market pressures.

Of course.

Where there is death, there is new life.

As an industry, this is a law that has not changed for almost hundreds of years.

In 2000, when the whole world was experiencing an Internet bubble, it was also at this time, when the whole world was singing about the Internet, and China's Internet giants were just the opposite.

They have all entered this industry in the past few years to lay the foundation.

Baidu.

Tencent.

Alibaba.

There is also NetEase and so on, ten or twenty years later, almost all of China's Internet giants started at this time or at a similar time.

Therefore, there is life and there is death.

But on the other hand.

During this period, China has become a retrograde in the era of the world's Internet bubble, and the most critical point is that.

Before 2000, Chinese mainland's understanding of the Internet was still in a very shallow position, and after 2000.

The Internet is ushering in an explosive growth opportunity in China, that is, the explosive growth of Internet users.

In 2000.

In China's major cities, streets and alleys, and even very remote towns, Internet cafes have sprung up one after another.

It was at this time that the first generation of netizens began to be cultivated.

And I have to admit that it was the first generation of netizens who turned China's Internet from a completely unfamiliar thing to something as ordinary as an arcade machine very quickly.

Of course.

Once the internet becomes no longer magical.

For the Chinese, a new era has begun, that is, the Internet era.

This is also the main reason why Li Wenxiu's website has been launched and quickly became popular in Dongcai.

December came and went very quickly.

In January.

It wasn't long before the first semester of freshman year was over.

The commemorative book, which is called C-BOOK by Tocai's students, quickly became popular.

In addition to the students of Dongcai, the conservatory and the technical university not far away were also quickly eroded.

That's how it was in the age of the internet.

Once anything is transmitted, the rate of contagion will spread faster than ever before.

Of course.

In addition to online communication.

Some topics about C-book are also gradually emerging on campus.

The hottest question is, of course, about who exactly is the founder of this site.

Li Wenxiu has been paying attention to confidentiality since the launch of C-book, and of course, some people who are interested must have guessed a little.

But no matter what, after all, not many people know about it yet, and several people in the studio have also agreed.

Before the official promotion, it is necessary to do a good job of confidentiality, and on the introduction of the homepage of the website, there is only one sentence about the introduction of the founder.

"A group of warriors with childlike innocence, trying to connect you and me with the Internet. ”

It's certainly not a prank, but it smacks a little bit of prank.

However, Li Wenxiu's half-plagiarized sentence still won the unanimous consent of Tian Ke and Wei Dazhong.

So much so that when the number of online users exceeded 10,000 for the first time in January, Tian Ke couldn't help but shout in the studio for several days.

10,000 people.

This is already a very great breakthrough.

Especially in 2000, when the number of Internet users in China was only 10 million, it was absolutely unthinkable to achieve 10,000 simultaneous online users.

In May of the first half of the year, the number of simultaneous online users on QQ exceeded the 100,000 mark for the first time.

As a latecomer.

With nearly 10,000 online support at the same time, the success of C-book has almost become a phenomenal achievement.

Of course.

Except for Li Wenxiu and his team, almost no other outsiders know this data.

It is even less likely that anyone knows that in an ordinary private house in Shanghai, China, a guy who will be called an Internet giant in the entire 21st century is slowly expanding.

The holidays are coming as promised.

Li Wenxiu returned home halfway, and he had already rushed back to Shanghai on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

He still has a lot going on.

On the C-book side, their goal for the new year is to promote it in colleges and universities throughout Shanghai.

At the end of last year.

Li Wenxiu asked Yang Biaotuo to buy back several new servers in Hong Kong, which greatly increased the capacity of the servers.

After being reassembled, the servers were basically able to withstand the need for at least 50,000 people to operate online at the same time.

But this standard is changing too fast.

Originally, Li Wenxiu planned to wait until the end of 2001 to expand the capacity, but he had just returned from home.

When I met Tian Ke in the studio, this guy complained that the number of people was too small and the capacity of the server was not enough.

Li Wenxiu is still a little inexplicable.

But when he saw the latest data, he immediately put that idea behind him.

After half a year of operation, the number of people who are online at the same time almost every day exceeds 10,000.

At its peak, it was approaching 30,000.

Originally, it was thought that the 50,000 people after the expansion would be used for a long time.

But now it seems that it is estimated that it will not be able to hold out for even half a year.

It would definitely not work to hide any longer, because they also created a new problem in addition to the servers.

That is, the technical force is not enough, and more technical talents must be recruited to maintain the growing trend.

In February, Dongcai just started school.

The hustle and bustle of the campus soon returned.

It's still colder this season.

But early in the morning.

Suddenly, a large billboard appeared on the campus of Dongcai, with a very eye-catching headline.

C-book is hiring!

The campus, which had been silent for a whole winter, finally boiled over because of a billboard.

Today.

There is almost no one in Dongcai who does not know the commemorative book, and naturally, the question of who made the commemorative book has always been a curiosity for the teachers and students of Dongcai.

Many people speculate that nine times out of ten they are students of Dongcai, after all, the first time this website appeared was on the campus of Dongcai.

However, there are also many people who support the idea that the founder should be the teacher of Dongcai.

So when I saw this ad.

Everyone understands that the question that has been making them guess for nearly half a year is finally going to be answered soon.

The day won't be long.

The recruitment time advertised on the advertisement is around the Qingming Festival.

Naturally, this day has also made many young students look forward to it.

This morning.

Eaten.

Li Wenxiu took Yang Xin to the next conservatory of music to attend a concert.

"Wife, I'll give you a surprise later!"

"Are you going up and singing again?"

Yang Xin's thinking jump is still relatively large.

But that's not surprising.

Who made Li Wenxiu make that scene at the freshman ceremony last year.

There are still people who remember this incident.

However, as time goes by, the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is gradually forgotten, and occasionally some people will say two sentences when they sing it.

In fact, at the end of last year, someone from a music company looked for the copyright of Li Wenxiu's song, but this guy is not short of money, so naturally there is nothing to talk about.

In addition, he didn't plan to develop in the entertainment industry, so he soon stopped.

After all, no matter how valuable it is, it's just a song, and there is no need for others to praise an outsider.

However, Yang Xin knew that Li Wenxiu would definitely make trouble.

He was speechless when he said a word.

I'm so cheesy, me!

He didn't dare to say this to Yang Xin.

"Why don't you wait for me to go up and sing you a song?"

Yang Xin was a little disdainful.

When Li Wenxiu tried to ring Yang Xin's waist, he immediately glared at him fiercely, and grabbed a handful in the palm of Li Wenxiu's hand, but he didn't let him succeed.

The nearly hour-long concert ended quickly, and while everyone was waiting for the next track, the lights suddenly went black in the venue for hundreds of people, and only the host's voice could be heard echoing in their ears.

Next, the founding team of C-Book is invited to take the stage collectively and sing a song that we are most familiar with: "Youth Memorial Book". ”

Just when everyone was a little confused.

The host's words suddenly made everyone stunned, and the situation that followed was naturally conceivable.

Almost the entire venue suddenly seemed to explode.

Scare!

It's definitely a fright!

And it was premeditated.

Under the stage.

When Yang Xin's head was a little dizzy by this manic atmosphere came to his senses, he suddenly realized that Li Wenxiu, who was sitting next to him, was gone.

There was a look of shock and surprise in his eyes.

Don't......

Obviously.

This smart girl had already guessed what Li Wenxiu was going to surprise her.

Suddenly, the whole person became more dizzy than before.

Oh, my God!

My boyfriend turned out to be the founder of C-book!!

It was indeed a surprise, and it was an unexpected one.

To know.

Li Wenxiu has not let Yang Xin know about this matter since he set up the studio, which is simply incredible in the eyes of others.

Who doesn't know that Li Wenxiu has a beautiful girlfriend, and the two spend almost most of their time together except for sleeping and attending classes.

How could it be possible to hide such a thing.

But Li Wenxiu really hid it, not only did he hide it, but he didn't reveal it at all.

There was a snap.

The lights in the venue were bright again.

And at this time.

The attention of the entire venue had been shifted to the row of figures standing in the center of the stage.

Li Wenxiu.

Wei Dazhong.

Tian Ke.

Zhao Shipeng......
