Song Yu walked out of the Shanghai Railway Station, he walked to a taxi and asked, "Master, do you know where the micro gate is?" ”

Hearing Song Yu say the name Weiget, the taxi driver was obviously stunned.

Song Yu explained: "It's a place where you can use a computer to access the Internet. ”

"I know the computer, what is the Internet?" The taxi driver asked.

This question really stumped Song Yu.

He thought for a long time and said, "It's a place where you can look up information and materials on the computer." ”

The taxi brother was still dissatisfied with his answer, so he opened the door and walked to the next taxi.

"Do you know where Microgate is?" The taxi driver asked another taxi driver.

The taxi driver who was asked thought for a while and replied: "I seem to have been to Weget, it is in that place on Huanghai Road, called Wegett Computer Lab or something, and you will find it as soon as you inquire about that road." ”

After hearing this answer, the taxi driver waved his hand to Song Yu to get in the car, and started the car and headed towards Huanghai Road.

The first Internet café in China, opened in May '96, less than three months now.

The reason why Song Yu knew about this place was because he heard Wang Weidong say it, and Wang Weidong listened to Li Yueshi the last time he was in Shanghai. told him that Li Yueshi had come to this place after getting the news.

Walking into the microgate computer room, a young man greeted him and asked, "This gentleman, what information do you want to check?" ”

Song Yu looked around the entire computer room, there were more than 50 computers in the computer room, most of the people were sitting in front of the computer, many people were operating on the computer screen, Song Yu noticed that the computer screen closest to him was displayed in English, and a young man was lying in front of the computer and recording something with a pen.

The first batch of people in China to use the computer network were high-level intellectuals, and the main purpose of using the network was to inquire about foreign materials.

Song Yu found an empty computer and sat down and said to the young man, "You help me turn on the computer." ”

Hearing Song Yu's order, the young man did not turn on the computer but said to Song Yu: "This gentleman, our computer studio is billed by the hour, and it costs forty yuan for an hour. ”

"I see!" Song Yu said impatiently.

"Please pay a deposit of fifty dollars first." The young man continued.

"You're afraid that I'll run away without paying for your computer after I run out of it." Song Yu took out his wallet, took out fifty yuan, handed it to the young man and said.

After receiving fifty yuan, the young man pressed the switch on the motor box to turn on the computer, and the small spherical screen went out to the Internet.

At this time, Song Yu picked up the phone and called Wang Weidong and said, "Weidong, I have arrived at the place." What you asked me to say on my computer was sent to me immediately by text message. ”

The computer was turned on for a long time, until Song Yu looked at the screen after making a call, and three or four pitiful icons appeared on the small spherical screen.

At present, NetEase Sohu Sina these portals have not yet been established, and some are just a Chinese search engine called Ivy League.

Song Yu looked back at the young man standing behind him and said, "Do you know what Firebird BBS is?" You help me figure it out! ”

The most important job of the first group of Internet café attendants was to instruct customers on how to surf the Internet.

The young man detoured to Song Yu's side, bent down and skillfully typed Firebird BBS in the search box and then entered, the network link of Firebird BBS appeared on the screen, click the link with the mouse, and the page of the forum appeared on the screen.

Song Yu turned back to the young man and said, "There's nothing for you here, I'll just be alone." ”

The young man nodded and stood again at the door of the computer room, he saw from a distance that Song Yu moved the mouse from time to time, and then stretched out his index finger and pressed the keyboard clumsily with a finger of Zen, and used pinyin to output text on the computer.

It took more than forty minutes before Song Yu walked out of the Microgate computer room. By this time he was already sweating profusely.

Song Yu called Wang Weidong again and said, "Weidong, it's registration and writing, I was busy for more than half an hour before I came out." ”

Wang Yudong on the other end of the phone said: "There are more than 100 words in total, and you actually used more than half an hour!" It's a shame for Xiangyang Electronics to say it, we are a manufacturer that once produced computer learning machines! ”

"Computers are too complicated, and surfing the Internet is not interesting. In the future, you can find someone else for this kind of thing, and I will never do it again! Song Yu said.

"Okay, light rain. Let's bet that if you play on the computer and surf the Internet again in the future, you will be a bastard! Wang Weidong said.

Song Yu reacted quickly, he took the phone and thought for two seconds and said, "Okay, I'll make this bet, if I don't go online in the future, I'll be a bastard!" I won't fall for you, and since you're so sure, I'm going to lose. ”

"me! But it's up to you to do the follow-up, try to be faster. Wang Weidong said on the other end of the phone.

"No problem, it's just a matter of Wang and I making a phone call. Just ask my friend to check it out on the Internet in their newspaper. Song Yu said.

Three days later, an article was published in one of the country's influential legal newspapers, titled "China's First Internet Scandal".

In the article, it was mentioned that my favorite netizen whose name is Tibetan Mastiff talked about his home in the open market on Firebird BBS, and his beloved Tibetan mastiff in the yard was inexplicably lost during the third watch in the middle of the night.

The Tibetan mastiff worth millions was raised by himself since he was a child, but now he has lost it, and there is no news at all for several days, and he is like losing his soul, and he is restless.

This post sparked a heated discussion and resonated with a lot of people, many of whom had a similar encounter with the Tibetan mastiff I love.

In '96, most of the people who went online were computer technicians, and everyone discussed computer technology issues on the Internet, and many of them saw posts that reflected social issues for the first time, and they did not involve computer language at all and were a pyrotechnic post, so my favorite post on the Tibetan mastiff caused a more enthusiastic response, and even from online discussions to traditional media.

Brother Wang Dianwen was at a loss for all this, and his knowledge reserves could not play with computers and surf the Internet at all.

The family has a coal mine, a fleet of seven or eight Dongfeng trucks, and a trading company, which is enough to keep him busy, not to mention socializing and spending time with a group of fox friends and dogs.

Wang Dianwen used this so-called trading company to deceive him, and he bought beer from Kaishi Brewery through this trading company.

In the middle of the night, the three earth dogs in the courtyard of Wang Dianwen's house suddenly barked again.

Wang Dianwen woke up from his dream and then closed his eyes again. There are so many people in the family, and outsiders can't steal valuable things if they want to.

But he immediately stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, and although there was no light in the room, the ceiling kept changing its red and blue colors!

Wang Dianwen was too familiar with these two colors, and he got up with a grunt, and just as he was putting on his shoes on the ground, the big iron door was slammed.

Several younger brothers who lived in the West Wing also woke up from their dreams and ran out crackling.

Most of them are time-tested people, and if they can see such a dazzling red and blue color through the wall more than three meters high, they can conclude that it is not just one or two police cars parked outside!

"Afraid of what? We are now well-behaved businessmen! Go out and open the door, old boy! Wang Dianwen said.

The old boy in his vest and trousers and his shoes walked to the door tremblingly, and he looked out through the crack in the big iron door, and he trembled with fright.

Directly opposite the large iron gate stood a dozen heavily armed policemen.

The old boy stiffened and stood there motionless.

"Open the door!" The police shouted outside the big iron gate.

The old boy shuddered, and suddenly came to his senses. With a trembling hand, he opened the big iron door.

The police outside the gate swarmed into the courtyard.

"Don't be afraid, don't move! Let's do serious business, just go to the bureau and figure things out! Wang Dianwen said in a trembling voice.

This sentence is not only to give courage to the brothers, but also to give yourself courage.

A few minutes later, all the people in the yard were escorted into the car by the police, and the police car started to move towards the city.

The news that Wang Dianwen and his subordinates were all arrested quickly spread in the open market, and people rushed to tell each other, and the timid people who were originally ready to swallow their anger were now bold, and they all took evidence to report Wang Dianwen's crimes to the relevant departments.

This chapter was reported, more than 500 words were deleted, and a lot of changes were made, and in 96 and 83, I understood it myself. The year of Yan Cha

Some people are most afraid of exposure, and some people suspect that the kid surnamed Wang, who is not a human being, will be exposed. Isn't that a lack of cleanup?
