"I think this will also be the norm for Internet companies in the future, and they will definitely lead the way for three or five years, and then end badly."

The audience was in an uproar, and there were many people who felt that Xu Xinian's judgment was ridiculous.

Immediately, a boy wearing glasses stood up, "Mr. Xu, your judgment is too arbitrary, I don't know if you know if you know, do you know how much the market value of American Online has reached recently?" 360 billion US dollars, who can shake such a hegemonic position? ”

Xu Xinian was not angry, "When you talk about AOL, then we might as well talk about a few of his businesses, first of all, his fortune business, that is, the ISP imitated by Yinghaiwei, I have already talked about the development of the Internet, ISP made AOL taste the sweetness and walked to the top of the mountain, but going up to the top of the mountain means going down the mountain, I think everyone has no meaning to this." ”

The boy didn't speak.

"Speaking of his second business, Netscape that he just acquired, I don't think that by changing Netscape to another company, he can beat IE, and it is a foregone conclusion that Microsoft will replace Netscape in the browser market, which is AOL's second business to be finished."

The boy's face grew embarrassed.

"The third business, his chat tool AIM, I don't deny the power of this chat tool, but just like Netscape, in the world of the Internet, the most valuable thing is never to open up, but to live to the end, I have to mention the old technology company Microsoft, Gates is keen on computers, and the Internet is faster, more accurate, and ruthless, in 95 he launched AIM's competitor MSN, in 96 MSN users have exceeded one million, in 97 Microsoft gave MSN a Passport, The ability to log in to multiple websites at once. ”

"By the way, and his email, Microsoft acquired Hotmail in '97, and it was given away for free with the system."

"So you tell me, how long can the AOL that has been robbed in the main business market go? I think in the near future, AOL's core business dial-up Internet access will also be replaced by lower fees, which is a visible trend, then your so-called hegemony of AOL is just a joke. ”

The boy sat in his seat without saying a word.

No one noticed at all, because his figure was already drowned in everyone's waving hands, drowning in thunderous applause.

Fanaticism, some students have fanaticism in their eyes right now.

There were also some students who wanted to stand up and ask questions, but Xu Xinian hurriedly waved his hand.

"One last question, don't forget what day it is, I don't want my girlfriend to wait too long."

While the audience laughed, it was also accompanied by an uproar.

Su Wan was still immersed in Xu Xinian's feeling of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan just now, and it took a while to realize that this guy was using himself as a shield.

Blushing and spitting hard.

This last question seems to be asked by no one who dares to get up easily, and everyone is afraid that the unsatisfactory question will become the target of public criticism.

As a result, a very quiet-looking girl stood up, her voice a little soft.

"Mr. Xu, 1998 is about to pass, this year there are countless Internet companies ups and downs, more China's new rise of the portal Sohu, NetEase, and the newly established Sina is also in the limelight, what do you think should be remembered in 1998 Internet companies? Let's just talk about three. ”

Xu Xinian straightened his cuffs, "Good question." ”

"The first is Yinghaiwei, Chinese people should not forget Yinghaiwei, although Yinghaiwei failed, but it is like a huge whale, a whale falls, all things are born, its collapse nourishes the entire Chinese Internet ecology, it educates the basic concept of the Internet for Chinese people."

Su Wan was a little stupid when she heard it, a whale falls, everything is born, why can this boy always use that immature face to say such romantic and old-fashioned words.

"The second is Netscape, Netscape is the dream of a group of young people, the dream of a group of programmers who created the Internet world in loneliness, Netscape brings leapfrog progress to the Internet, it is a shining legend, but it died on the dark side of technology, but in any case, we should remember Netscape, it was buried in 1998."

The audience was silent, as if it was exaggerated by the emotions in Xu Xinian's words, and they were all a little fascinated, but they had to come back and wait for Xu Xinian to reveal the last company.

"The third one allows me to sell it, you might as well guess that his founders are three Tuqier people."

Someone in the audience immediately shouted the answer, "ICQ! ”

"That's right, the third one I'd like to mention is Mirabilis, their highly creative instant messaging software ICQ was acquired this year as a weapon used by AOL to resist MSN, but AOL knows a fart chat software."

The audience laughed, and the atmosphere became lively again.

"ICQ has had a profound impact on the world's Internet chat software, the world may be wide, I might as well say that he has influenced Huaxia, so the third company, please let us remember, Mirabilis."

Xu Xinian bowed, and the audience applauded.

The host came to the stage and walked to Xu Xinian's side and said to the audience with a smile.

"Let us thank Mr. Xu again with warm applause!"

It's another wave that lasts for a long time.

"It stands to reason that I came to the stage to give a final speech, and this event is coming to an end here, but before going on stage, I received a special request, which was made by Mr. Xu's girlfriend, and everyone said if Mr. Xu wanted to answer."

The audience thought that this was the end of the song, but they didn't expect that this event, which I don't know if it was a debate competition, a speech, or a talk show, had a new climax.

There was a commotion in the audience.

"Yes!"

"A must!"

"If you don't say yes, break up!"

...

Xu Xinian smiled awkwardly and stretched out his hand to signal the host to speak.

The host smiled and put his arm around Xu Xinian's shoulder, "Mr. Xu, don't be nervous, it's not a check." ”

The audience laughed.

"This request is very interesting, she wants to ask Mr. Xu to sing an elegy for Yinghaiwei, for Netscape, and for Mirabilis."

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Xu Xinian casually glanced at the side of the stage, Su Wan smiled and compared her fingers to a gun, and after shooting, she didn't forget to blow the muzzle.

"I'll sing a few words, if I don't sing well, it will be regarded as the final speech, and friends who can sing can sing along with me."

Everyone was sitting precariously, looking forward to what song Xu Xi would choose for the New Year's meeting.

"To them... Glory days. ”

"The bell rings to call home"

"In His Life"

"It seems to be a little embarrassed"

"What Black Skin Means to Him"

"In the Midst of a Skin Color Struggle"

"Years turn possession into loss"

"Weary eyes with anticipation"

"Today there are only remnants of the shell"

"Glory Days"

"Hold on to freedom in the wind and rain"

"A lifetime of hesitation and struggle"

"Confidence can change the future"

"Ask who can do it"

...

Xu Xinian sings the Cantonese version, although he doesn't rap well, in fact, everyone sounds like they have noses and eyes, which is quite good.

At the back, almost thousands of people sang together, and the sentence "Self-confidence can change the future, ask who can do it", resounded through the entire Shanghai opera.

Whose eye sockets can withstand the glorious years of a thousand-person chorus.

Who would have thought that an activity that I don't know how to define can have laughter, tears, regrets, surprises, and gains......

Finally, there is the chorus.
