The whole year of 2003 is almost over, and this year, whether it is the country or itself, can be described in a stock market term, that is, open low and go high. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

SARS has been in trouble since the beginning of the year, and it took several months to stop, but since the second half of the year, the economic situation has immediately improved, and all kinds of new things have been emerging, which makes people feel a little dazzled.

The first is the birth of Taobao and express delivery companies, although they have also shouted about online shopping before, but they are concentrated in the scope of books, audio and video, etc., and are not very closely related to people's lives.

But Taobao is different, it sells all daily necessities, suitable for almost everyone, more down-to-earth and more close to the people. So as soon as it appeared, it grew at an astonishing rate, and many people were immediately attracted by this new model of convenience, speed and cheapness after their first online shopping experience.

In particular, young people and white-collar workers who are more familiar with computers and the Internet have soared exponentially in the number of online purchases. In order to deliver the goods purchased online to customers in a timely manner, a profession suddenly appeared in big cities, they called couriers.

There is also the birth of the online SOHO family, with the popularization of the Internet, there are naturally some jobs that do not need to go to work, and only a computer, a network cable and a brain of creativity are needed to engage in these jobs, the most popular of which are SMS writers, CRBT MMS production and website guerrillas.

The nature of the work of the first three is similar, one is to write SMS, one is to write MMS, and the other is to synthesize ringtones, and then provide them to major portals, and charge remuneration at the price of ten to one hundred yuan each, or simply cooperate with the website to share.

This kind of work has risen with the popularity of mobile phones, and it has been there in the first two years, but it has almost doubled in the third year of the year, and some jokers can earn five or six thousand yuan a month, which is about the same as the middle managers of a large company.

Most of the website guerrillas are enterprises, and now they have started to shop on the Internet, and many companies have realized the need to make a home on the Internet, so the business volume of making websites has increased significantly.

If you find a professional production company, the quotation is usually more than 10,000 yuan, some people with technology and vision began to hold the group out of the part-time job, specifically for some small and medium-sized enterprises to make websites, fees ranging from hundreds to thousands, for which there are several special online trading platforms for enterprises and website builders to communicate with each other.

In fact, there is a new profession that is slowly being born, but it has not yet been revealed, and most people don't know much about it, and this profession is e-sports players.

If there is also a credit to Hong Tao, the e-sports competition organized by the Mantis Shrimp Company and the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China is the catalyst for this profession. After everyone knows through this competition that you can get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of bonuses by playing games, more people who love games will join in, and then really form a new career.

As far as Hong Tao is concerned, the first half of the year was also a trough, Internet cafes were all half-dead by SARS, the games represented by Mantis Shrimp Company were also tepid, and the income of Paper Communication Company was not as high as expected, and even the people around him went to the United States for refuge.

However, with the departure of SARS, the business of Internet cafes suddenly exploded, especially the operation mode of lobster Internet cafes, which can be used in 30 stores, which makes many players feel convenient. Therefore, there is a saying in the Internet café industry in Beijing, and there are two kinds of Internet cafes, lobster and non-lobster.

As long as most people who like to go to Internet cafes will buy a membership card of a lobster Internet café, even if they can't queue up to play in other Internet cafes temporarily, they have to charge some money to prepare, and once they have the opportunity, they will still change to the lobster Internet café to consume.

Because not only is the environment clean here, the service quality is high, the machine configuration is better, but there are also special game boosting and game guilds, so it is equivalent to finding an organization here. If there is anything you don't understand or don't know in the game, you can get help relatively quickly, which can be regarded as an additional value-added service.

When Internet cafes become popular and profitable, there are naturally more people who want to open Internet cafes, and the income of Paper Communication will also rise. With abundant funds, the coverage of the company's lines and computer rooms, whether built or rented by itself, has also grown rapidly, and then the plan to subsidize the Internet access fees of business customers with Internet café access fees has been implemented.

In just half a year, the number of business customers connected to the network tripled, and although the profits were low, the market share was getting higher and higher, the fame was getting bigger and bigger, and the company's scale was expanding as rapidly as the airblowing.

When the volume is large, some benefits come with it. For example, most of the project bidding of the municipal bureau and the network construction of various sub-bureaus were grabbed by Paper Communication at a price that was very in line with the target.

At present, Chairman Ma is actively contacting all parties and is ready to cooperate with General Manager Dai to win some projects of the Beijing Olympic Games. If it succeeds, it will take the company to the next level.

Regardless of whether it makes money or not, the signboard of the Olympic contractor is a kind of capital in itself, not only for economic interests, but also for political resources. By building the Olympic Cyber Project, Paper Communication can deliberately crowd out competitors and add barriers to their access.

If they do not successfully integrate into the new backbone network laid for the Olympic Games, they will lose the opportunity in future business competition. Because the backbone network equipment is new, the port is large, and the speed is fast, it is not comparable to the old urban backbone network. This is a huge amount of money that the state has spent a lot of money to build, and it is no wonder that it is not easy to use.

Mantis Shrimp hasn't changed much, and the revenue of the two games has increased slightly, but not by much. In fact, they are already operating very well, mainly because the operating costs are too high, and the profits will naturally decrease.

But the smooth contact with Blizzard and the hosting of the e-sports competition project made the name of Mantis Shrimp climb out of the capital in an instant, from an obscure small company to a star company that often appears on the homepage of various websites.

This kind of change is exactly what Hong Tao needs. He doesn't have to worry about money, Ms. Bai has been doing the financing thing, as long as the details of the contract with Blizzard Entertainment are finalized, I dare not say how much money I want, and I still have the certainty of supporting the listing of Mantis Shrimp Company on the NASDAQ.

But before going on the market, you have to let the mantis shrimp fade its shell, throw away the original gray skin, put on a layer of colorful new clothes, and then wave two sledgehammers to climb onto the international stage, which is a perfect appearance. At the same time, it will also boost the confidence of Blizzard Entertainment and Vivendi's side, so that they can feel comfortable handing over the agency of this game as important as their son.

In addition to the rapid development in business, Hong Tao also made a lot of gains in other aspects in the second half of 2003. The first is that he and Zhang Yuanyuan have a daughter, which is not only a child, but also his commitment to Zhang Yuanyuan. Now she can finally feel less guilty, but at the same time, she has increased her guilt towards another woman, and that is Jiang Zhuyi.

At the end of the year, she finally took off the code and became the rightful director of the Internet Supervision Department. But she was not too happy, because when she was celebrating with Hong Tao, she accidentally found that Hong Tao had a photo of Hong Qi stuffed in her wallet, and then she really drank too much that night, crying and laughing for a while, and vomited Hong Tao.

She also wants to have a child, not only in this life, but for two whole lives. But Hong Tao couldn't fulfill her little wish right away, just for a certain plan. Although she knew about the plan and agreed to follow the steps, Hong Tao still felt very sorry for her.

Another thing that made Jiang Zhuyi very depressed was the steam smoke. Hong Tao has already made the sample, and she also tried it herself, and she thinks it is very good, but when it can be put into production is still far away.

There is only one reason, Diane can't control her father, and now she doesn't have time to go back and persuade her father to help build a company and apply for a patent in Switzerland, so she can't talk about production and sales in the later stage.

Hong Tao has no problem with this matter, he is also black-eyed abroad, even if he has Diane's help, it is useless if he does not have a particularly familiar relationship. This thing is not to buy cabbage, it is useless to have money alone.

"In the next life, we must change, I will be a man and you will be a woman, give me all your memories, and I will let you taste this taste......!

But Jiang Zhuyi still went violently, bit Hong Tao's ear in one bite, bit the ear that was already mutilated again, and then cried loudly, as if it was not Hong Tao who hurt but her.

"You are a person who has experienced life and death, I think you didn't despair when we first entered the windless zone, and now you don't want to. I'll forgive you if you take advantage of me this time, and next time you dare to bite me, I'll bite all your ears into rags, and see if you still have the face to go out to see people!"

"You're just an old monster! It's so boring, you can't pretend to let me be deceived!" If you don't say that fish looking for fish and shrimp looking for shrimp, and Wu Dalang specializes in raising night owls, if it's not a kind of person, you can't get together.

Jiang Zhuyi couldn't help but be emotional when he put it to whoever he put it to just now, but it turned out to be pretending. She shouldn't be a policeman, she should go to the entertainment industry to develop. The Oscar actresses are not as good as her acting skills, there is still blood on her lips, and tears in her eyes.
