Chapter 003: The Internet in its Infancy

For the National College Student Software Creation Competition, Zhuo Ping is ready to participate. He also knew Tang Xin's outstanding talent in software development, and couldn't help asking, "Xin Xin, are you ready to participate?" ”

Tang Xin nodded and said, "Three years of college, this is an opportunity to test your learning results. ”

"Then let's work together, I wish you good results in advance." Zhuo Ping said.

"Thank you, then you can do it too." For Zhuo Ping, Tang Xin's impression is not bad.

Because of the existence of Zhuo Ping and Yang Duo, both of them can adjust the atmosphere well, so the whole meal is carried out in a cheerful atmosphere.

After eating, back in the dormitory, Tang Xin turned on Yang Duo's computerβ€”a well-configured desktop.

In fact, the current development of the Internet in China has just started, which is equivalent to 2000 years on the earth. There are 1 billion people in China, and the penetration rate of Internet users is still relatively low, about 100 million people. The price of computers has also been high, and the average computer needs more than 10,000. Like Yang Duo's high-configuration computer, it cost 50,000 yuan to buy it.

Yang Duo's computer is used by Tang Xin most of the time, and what she usually uses the most is to chat with her friends on Easy Chat. And since her easy chat was leaked, many boys have added her friends every day, or left her messages, which annoyed her. So, for a while, she didn't log in to Easy Chat very much.

E-chat is the largest instant messaging software in China, and it is a product of E-talk Technology, with more than 60 million registrations. It is also with this product that Yiliao Technology occupies 80% of the market share of the domestic instant messaging market.

With the help of the software, Yiliao Technology is the most competitive Internet company in China. With the help of Yiliao, Yiliao Technology then launched the portal Yixun and the search engine Yisou, which is in the limelight in the Internet field.

The predecessor of Yiliao Technology is Yixing, a well-known entertainment media group in China, of which Yixing Entertainment is one of the top five star brokerage companies in China, and Yixing Satellite TV is a relatively well-known satellite TV station in China.

Tang Xin also has her own easy chat number, which is composed of her name pinyin, compared to the account composed of numbers in QQ on the earth, with letters or custom accounts, Tang Xin is still a little unaccustomed.

Log in to your own easy chat, and what appears is a relatively rough software window. Functionally, there is only one-on-one chat. Not even incognito, busy, and custom avatars.

Tang Xin, who is used to QQ, really feels very uncomfortable with Easy Chat, and maybe he can develop an instant messaging software based on QQ. As for the name, it's actually not bad to call it QQ, after all, there is no QQ in this world.

However, Tang Xin didn't worry too much about the easy chat software, and even turned it off after she logged in for a while.

The computer system is similar to Microsoft, and the browser that comes with the system is not very convenient to use, and the speed is relatively slow, which makes Tang Xin very unaccustomed to using it.

According to the memory of the original owner, Tang Xin opened the website of Yisou. The search interface of Yishou is built on the basis of Yixun.com, as long as netizens log in to Yixun.com to browse news, they can search as much as they want through the search interface.

As the entrance to the Internet, search websites have always been a must for Internet companies. On the planet, there are three huge BAT on the Internet, of which Baidu is successful only by virtue of its search engine, with a market value of 60 billion US dollars, which shows its importance.

At present, there are many websites that have entered the field of search in China, among which Yisou's market share is the highest, followed by good search, quick search, etc., almost all search websites are cooperating with domestic portals, so that their own search is based on the website.

As the domestic Internet is in a period of vigorous development, search websites are also blooming, except for Yisou, with Yichat and Yixun.com, the market share is slightly higher, and there is no dominant situation.

Then Tang Xin browsed Yixun.com, as one of the top three portals in China, the entire layout of Yixun.com is still relatively simple, Tang Xin looked at it for a while and felt that he was looking at a phishing website. The aesthetics of the website are extremely lacking, and after browsing a few news, I found that the timeliness of the news is also poor.

After watching it for a while, Tang Xin was very interested, and began to search for the National College Student Software Design Competition on the search interface.

Enter the official website of the National Association of University Students, and there is a huge red banner at the top of the official website, which is the theme of the competition.

The special production is very high, which introduces the competition time, from October 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 for the preliminary stage, the organizing committee of the competition to accept college students from all over the country to participate in the competition and submit the production of software, and provide download function, let the majority of netizens try. By January 10, 2001, the top 10 most downloaded software and games entered the semi-finals and received votes from netizens across the country. The top three in the software category and the top three in the game category were finally selected.

As for the prize money, the first place is awarded 500,000, the second place is awarded 200,000, and the third place is awarded 100,000. At the same time, all winners will enjoy various preferential treatment if they have the idea of starting a business. For example, interest-free loans, tax exemptions, etc., which are also a disguised encouragement for college students to start their own businesses.

Seeing the introduction of the competition, Tang Xin already had a decision in his heart.

In this world, she has endless ideas about the Internet from the earth, coupled with an outstanding talent in software design and development, and she is really looking forward to this software competition.

"Duoduo, during this time, your computer has been requisitioned by me, and I want to participate in the National College Student Software Competition. When you win the award, you must be invited to a big meal, spicy crayfish? Tang Xin said to Yang Duo.

"A big meal? Spicy crayfish? Xin Xin, you are just that. Yang Duo rolled his eyes, and then said, "You can use the computer as you like, and I don't have much interest in the computer." Compared to computers, shopping is what makes me happiest. Xin Xin, have you thought about what software to make? ”

Tang Xin likes Yang Duo's character more and more, such a girl should marry home. She listened to Yang Duo's inquiry, nodded, and said, "I plan to make a small block game to test the water and see the effect." ”

"Block game, I don't know what it is. You make it first, but I'm going to be the first player in this game. Yang Duo said.

Tang Xin smiled: "Of course, and when the game is made, it's up to you to name the game, okay?" ”

"Really, that's such a happy decision. How long did it take you to make the game? ”

Tang Xin thought for a while and said, "A week." ”

Yang Duo heard Tang Xin say this, with a look of doubt, what software can be made this week? However, she saw that her good sister was very confident, and it was not easy to discourage her enthusiasm, so she said, "Then I will look forward to it." ”
