Chapter 068: The Key to Open the World's Door
According to the survey, as of 2003, the total number of Internet users in Huaxia was 79.5 million, of which 26.6 million were dedicated online users (mostly Internet cafes). The number of broadband Internet users is 17,400,000; The number of dial-up Internet users was 49.16 million; The number of ISDN Internet users is 5.52 million.
There are many things that can be explained by this survey data, but the most important thing is that among the people who go online in Huaxia, the vast majority of them still use dial-up Internet, and the characteristics of dial-up Internet access needless to say, that is, it is surprisingly slow.
The highest theoretical transmission rate is 56K, but the actual maximum is only 52K, which is 80 times the gap between the 4 megabits and bandwidth broadband that was popularized in 2011.
Even ISDN, which is slightly better than dial-up Internet access on telephone lines, has a maximum transmission rate of only 128K, which is still dozens of times different from the broadband speed that will be popularized in the future.
This means that a video-sharing website that requires good bandwidth to support is absolutely impossible in an era when the vast majority of netizens are still struggling with tens of kilobytes of network transmission speeds.
He opened the IE browser and entered the domain name of the potato in the domain name input box one by one, snap. Enter.
Sure enough, what popped up on the screen was an invalid page that couldn't find the page.
There was a sudden rush of ecstasy in his heart.
Not to mention copycat video sites like potatoes, even YouTube, the originator of video sharing sites, has not yet appeared. Xia Ruxuan took a hard breath, and sure enough, it was a beautiful place that had not been opened.
In the current era when the Internet is barely popular, who would have thought that it could be a website that allows people to upload, download and watch videos for free, and who would have thought how much value it would bring?
But three years later, in 2006, just a year after the site was founded, Google bought it for $1.65 billion, which was a surprise to everyone.
Xia Ruxuan doesn't have anything now, but what he has is time.
As a professional in this industry for many years. Xia Ruxuan knows how much potential value this website has, and it completely leads to a new era of the Internet!
If this is a door that Xia Ruxuan touched, then the thing that Xia Ruxuan thought of when he mentioned potatoes just now is a key to open this door.
In fact, it was not only this website that made Xia Ruxuan ecstatic, but what he learned about an important giant on the Internet in the world in 2011 after he completed the first portal of life in southern Jiangsu, a community portal where information and social coexistence, was a key that allowed Xia Ruxuan to go to the door of the world.
facebook。
The word popped into my head.
Opportunity! Here's your chance!
This social networking site was founded in February 2004 and failed to reach an agreement with the relevant departments in China due to some approval reasons, and finally failed to enter the mainland of China.
However, even a school (Renren) network in China, which relies on copycat Facebook, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2011 with a market value of nearly $8 billion. From this, it can be predicted how much power Facebook, as the originator of social networking sites, has in the world.
It has a user base all over the world that absolutely no social networking site can imagine. As a result, it is also the world's largest social networking site, with a market capitalization of more than 100 billion yuan eight years later, in 2011...... Dollar.
This is a feat comparable to Bill Gates's window system.
In 2011, the social networking site had 700 million active users around the world, regardless of the Chinese market. In other words, 700 million people spend a lot of their free time on this site every day.
And the site's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, shocked the world by going from an ordinary Harvard sophomore to the 52nd on the Forbes 2011 rich list with a net worth of $13.5 billion in seven years thanks to Facebook.
Coincidentally, Xia Ruxuan carefully studied Facebook's code in 2011 and set out to make a white-collar circle social networking site, embedded in the southern Jiangsu life portal. Let it become a more high-grade social networking site, and suddenly separate from other ordinary small websites, which is why the Internet giant wants to buy this website.
And now in Xia Ruxuan's memory, many details of Facebook seem to be vivid!
Xia Ruxuan only felt that the blood began to rush to his brain unconsciously, and bursts of dizziness hit him violently.
He really never felt so excited and excited as he was at this moment, when the website that could change the entire Internet landscape was not yet launched, and the billionaire named Mark Zuckerberg is still studying and living in Harvard's humble place. And such a creative idea worth hundreds of billions of dollars, at this moment, only exists in Xia Ruxuan's mind.
The blue fat man sent three question marks in a row, because Xia Ruxuan didn't reply for five minutes.
But at this time, Xia Ruxuan didn't know how to reply to Lan Junyang, if it weren't for the two of them being far away at both ends of the screen, maybe Xia Ruxuan really had the urge to lift the blue fat man up and turn around three times, if it wasn't for the video he mentioned today, Xia Ruxuan didn't know if he could remember.
A few months later, when Mark Zuckerberg starts working on this project, he will lose this 100 billion dollar opportunity.
There is no rush to really talk about video sharing, at least after 2005.
Xia Ruxuan is really glad that he didn't miss the most important thing of Facebook.
The stone that had been hanging in his heart for a long time suddenly loosened, and from the beginning, he knew what he should do, but he always hesitated and wandered on some small things, and could not find the direction. Although I knew that I still had time to think carefully, that feeling had been suffocating in my heart.
This time he finally really put his mind at ease, he knew how to do these things, everything was so simple for him.
At this moment, the world suddenly became a little unreal, too unreal. Xia Ruxuan felt like he had suddenly picked up a huge lottery ticket, and anyone who came would feel unbelievable.
Xia Ruxuan looked up at the time, and at nine o'clock in the morning, he suddenly became full of energy.
gave the blue fat man a brief reply, "I have something to do today, let's talk about it next time." So he changed the penguin to stealth.
In his mind, he began to think about the interface features of Facebook, which was a question he had to figure out clearly.
Just do it!
Download the PHP assembly software you need online. Xia Ruxuan decided to get to work.
……
This year's version of PHP assembly software is very old, and there are no convenient and quick changes, all of which have to be completed one by one by Xia Ruxuan himself, and every detail cannot be missed.
The most troublesome part is that Xia Ruxuan has no template reference, unlike in his previous life, he could almost follow the current Facebook page, the main part already has a reference code, he just needs to fill in all the details he wants to change.
Xia Ruxuan was quickly glad that he had carefully studied Facebook in his previous life, if it weren't for this, even if he had this idea in his mind at this moment, there would be no way to complete it by himself, but even if he had studied it, the progress would be extremely slow.
At the same time, I am also glad that Mark Zuckerberg used PHP when he wrote Facebook, so he had the opportunity to steal later, the biggest feature of PHP is that this thing is open source, and anyone can see the code to study.
After all, making a website is never difficult for people in the industry, and the most difficult part of it is the idea.
……
In the next eight hours, in addition to taking five minutes to eat and go to the toilet twice, the only thing Xia Ruxuan did was to keep typing lines of code, reviewing back and forth, and making modifications, he was not the kind of programming maniac who could bury twenty-four hours a day in the computer, and eight hours of work made him feel exhausted.
By the time he had finished cutting the web page, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Xia Ruxuan estimates that with his current progress, it will take about 50 days to make the prototype of Facebook to the stage where it can be launched - almost the entire vacation. As far as he knows, Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg only took 20 days to complete the source code development, which is not much better than Xia Ruxuan in terms of efficiency.
You must know that this gap of more than double can only barely catch up when Xia Ruxuan plagiarized the other party's creativity and had a complete idea of how to do it, which had to make Xia Ruxuan embarrassed.
But Xia Ruxuan also admitted that his software programming belongs to the surname of the ticket, which cannot be compared with Mark Zuckerberg, a teenager who has been a computer genius since he was a child. At least Xia Ruxuan rarely reads homework without a little help and reference at all – in 2011, he had a team.
(Ogawa also wants to break out...... But the heart is weak. In order to keep updating and maintaining stable updates in the upcoming September semester, I must save the manuscript these days. Ogawa has not been able to save the manuscript now...... Tragedy. )
