Lu Changhua took them to the Asian Games Village and inspected the office space.

"How?"

"It's a good place."

Although Gu Hua and Zhao Hongxia entered the company before and after, the difference in salary is 500 yuan.

He was holding back a force in his heart, and sooner or later he would surpass her.

"Mr. Lu, although it is very good here, it is far away from Zhongguancun, and I am afraid that it lacks the atmosphere of Internet high-tech!"

Gu Hua didn't pat the boss's ass, but put forward different opinions.

"Hmm. There is some truth to what you say. ”

Lu Changhua first affirmed Gu Hua's statement.

Then asked Zhao Hongxia with a smile.

"What do you think?"

"Mr. Lu, my thoughts are the opposite."

"Oh? Then tell me about it. ”

"Mr. Lu, that's how I understand it."

Zhao Hongxia straightened her face and said: "According to the Internet knowledge you have popularized with us, I think that since we are communicating with the majority of netizens on the Internet, it doesn't matter where our company is." ”

"Not important?"

Gu Hua asked a little unconvinced, "What's important?" ”

"As long as you can connect to the Internet, you can move to the trunk line."

"Although the Asian Games Village has a small population, the transportation is convenient and the employees are also convenient to commute to work."

"If we are crowded in Zhongguancun, not only is the traffic congested, but the rent is also very expensive."

"As for the atmosphere, I think it's important. But the cost we have to pay for the atmosphere is too high. ”

Zhao Hongxia's words made Gu Hua speechless.

Lu Changhua nodded and said, "Then let's settle here." ”

In the management office, Lu Changhua chartered two floors.

9th and 10th floors.

The 9th floor is used as an office, and the 10th floor is used as the location of the technical department and computer room.

The office was identified.

then the necessary renovations should be carried out.

The walls were plastered with firewall paper, and the power cords were re-laid.

Especially the tenth floor.

The wires on the 10th floor were replaced.

All of them were replaced with eight-squared power cords.

During the renovation, they went back to the hotel to work.

Other personnel are also in place.

The people from the technical department were in place first.

Lu Changhua asked them to plan a plan to build a large-scale website for the whole country.

The main functions are divided into several large parts.

The first is the news section.

This is not difficult, you need to cooperate with the relevant media.

In fact, in this year, the news can be excerpted casually.

It doesn't have a lot of cooperation with the media.

The second section is Chat Rooms.

This section is important.

He is the only platform that can interact with netizens.

The third section is the e-mail system.

That's basically all there is to the portal section, it's simple.

Lu Changhua not only considered these, but also proposed a lot of new things.

For example, simple video games.

For example, you can provide users with cloud disks for free storage.

For example, software that can transfer files to each other, and so on.

The people in the technical department have a big head on these things proposed by the boss.

Because a lot of them haven't seen before.

However, there is no shortage of talent in China, especially in Beijing.

As long as you're willing to pay, someone will do it.

The technical department found more than a dozen masters through its own connections, plus its own people, to form a search engineering team.

Now in the temporary office, the platform development has begun.

Therefore, the page design of the website invited teachers from the Central Academy of Fine Arts at a high price to design one page at a time.

The main color of the search is warm colors, and the red, yellow and orange colors are the standard colors of the enterprise, which is also reflected in the design of the page.

The renovation went on for two months, and the hardware procurement and software writing also took so long.

In the middle, Lu Changhua returned home twice.

After staying at home for a few days, he returned to the capital.

The finance department of Soxin Company is composed of financial personnel from Changhe Group transferred by Wang Yao.

She also served as the financial officer of Soxin.

Early August.

The technical department began to run the website on a trial run on a computer.

Initial revisions have been made.

In the middle of the year, the company's scattered office departments moved into the Asian Games Village.

At the end of August, the technical department ran the "search network" in the company's internal local area network.

More than 300 computers were connected to the company's LAN and the website was accessed at the same time.

The search network is running well, there is no lag, and the background data display is normal.

The Department of Public Information and the Department of Fine Arts have added a lot of content to the website, including a lot of text and image content.

Run again with no issues.

Then, the company sent the IP address of the website to some units and asked them to cooperate with the trial operation.

According to the background data, nearly 5,000 IPs have logged in to the website during the same time period.

At this time, the time has come to the middle of September.

The wheat of his hometown will be harvested.

After consultation with the technical department, Lu Changhua announced that it would be officially launched on September 24.

At this time, there are only three major sections of the website, the news section, the chat room section, and the email section.

By this time, Lu Changhua had invested a lot of money in Soxin.com.

He got off to a better start than many companies.

Not only abundant funds, sufficient manpower, good hardware conditions, wire special line.

From the beginning, it was designed to have millions of people online at the same time.

The entire tenth floor is a computer room.

Rows of servers are connected by cables.

There was not only air conditioning in the room, but also a fan.

The temperature here is more than eight degrees higher than on the ninth floor.

Originally, it was planned that the technical department and the computer room would be on the tenth floor, but as a result, the computer room alone had to be one floor.

Lu Changhua immediately rented another eleven floors.

Half of this floor is used as the technical department, and the other half is reserved as a space for the expansion of the computer room.

The people in the technical department are beaming every day.

Why?

Just because of these years, there are really not many bosses who are willing to spend so much money on technology.

There are also web animation games, cloud disks and other teams, which are also working hard day and night.

The platform interface has been reserved, and as long as it is developed, it can be quickly launched.

Lu Changhua accompanied Wang Yao to inspect the credit search company he had set up.

The scale of the three-story building is already very large in the eyes of ordinary people.

But in Wang Yao's eyes, this is a small company.

Think about it, what kind of enterprise is Changhe Group.

These five or six hundred companies can't even compare to a factory in Changhe.

However, when Lu Changhua asked Wang Yao to sit in front of the computer, entered the web address, and a colorful picture popped up, her feelings were different.

The front page is an ink painting in Chinese style.

A wild goose flies from left to right.

It flapped its wings and traversed the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Not only are the wild geese flying, but the landscape picture is also moving, and the picture is not the same.

It's like a movie camera moving.

When the wild goose flew to the far right of the picture, several white clouds appeared in the middle of the whole picture.

The three big words "Soxin.com" appeared in the center of the screen.

The white clouds are written in block letters.

On the first white cloud, the words "major events in the world - today's news" are written.

On the second white cloud, it reads "Netizens face to face - chat room".

On the third white cloud, it reads, "The End of the World - Free Email".

These three white clouds are bright, indicating that these three plates can be used.

And there are a few white clouds below that are gray.

The description has not yet been activated.

"Click on it and take a look."

Lu Changhua encouraged.

You must know that Wang Yao, driven by her husband, came into contact with the computer early.

Today's Changhe Group has long been electronic.

Not only was it used for the writing and printing of internal documents, but also for e-mail.

No strangers to these things.

Including the website of the group company, they also have.

But the search network she sees now is different.

Not only is the design very artistic, but also very innovative.

It's refreshing.

When she clicked on the white cloud of the news.

The news page appears on the screen.

At the top of the page, the three words of Soxin.com are very eye-catching.

The date is next to it: September 14, 1997

There's still time to beat down there.

“10:05：13”

“10:05:14”

“10:05:15”

The second hand is beating and the clock is moving forward.

Look at the following again, international news, domestic news.

There is also a breakdown of news below.

There are words and pictures.

At the edge of the page, there are several white clouds fluttering.

Hovered on, the chat room is displayed.

Wang Yao clicked in.

I entered an empty page.

A string of text popped out of the screen.

"This is a face-to-face chat room, please use civilized language and abide by morality."

A white cloud pops up at the bottom of the screen.

Text is displayed inside.

"Please enter what you want to say here."

"Click here?"

"Hmm."

Wang Yao clicked the mouse.

A few words were typed in the white clouds.

"Hello everyone."

She looked at Lu Changhua after the fight.

"Just press enter."

"Oh."

She pressed enter.

Ding Dong.

This sentence appeared on the screen.

There is also a multicolored glow.

After a while, there was a dingdong sound, and a line of text appeared on the screen.

"Hello!"

"Oh, anyone?"

Wang Yao was very panicked.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of excitement in my heart.

This may be the feeling after accosting a stranger.

She looked at her husband with a red face and said, "I, I ......"

"It's okay, it's like meeting and greeting people."

"Look, this place can be renamed."

Lu Changhua pointed to the following settings and said.

"Really?"

Wang Yao clicked on the settings.

Various revisions have appeared in it.

For a moment, an excitement rose in her heart.

"It's so fun, I really want to play."

"Haha, that's right."

Lu Changhua and the engineers of the technical department all laughed.

The search chat room isn't just for chatting, it's also a rudimentary online live game.

This is also Lu Changhua's request.

Not only can everyone set their own avatar, but they can also buy gifts in the chat room.

There are virtual items for girls.

Headflowers, earrings, necklaces, clothes, pants, shoes, handbags, briefcases, sunglasses.

Later, Lu Changhua also had to drive all kinds of cars, sports cars, and so on.

At this time, online payment is not yet available.

So how do you buy these virtual items?

Lu Changhua has already thought of a way, that is, to sell point cards.

This is the main monetization situation for online games after 2000.

Right now?

No one knows that point cards can still be sold for money!

But Lu Changhua knew.

Why do you want to sell props in chat rooms?

Because he knows the charm of the chat room at this time.

Back then, he chatted with netizens more than a thousand kilometers away for a day and a night in the chat room.

In the end, it appeared.

You can see the magic of the chat room at this time.

As long as these items can not only be bought, but also sold, that is the prototype of online games.

Although the form is very simple, Lu Changhua knows that this is a channel for monetization.
