It has only been more than three years since the Internet was officially built. Domestic BBK is definitely the first to invest in the Internet industry.

It is also the first company to get the domestic ISP index. The reason why Chu Qing began to enter the Internet industry at this time was mainly because in April this year, my country officially connected to the Internet.

It was the 77th country to accede. Now everything in the country is a blank. The first domestic website to access the World Wide Web was the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This was created in May this year by Xu Rongsheng and Fan Gang through i.

The homepage is a stamp printed with the Great Wall, and there is very little information on the homepage, except for a few articles introducing domestic high-tech achievements, there is nothing else.

This website is just like the people of this era, always want to introduce themselves by all means, and want to shake out a little bit of everything, for fear of being looked down upon.

It seems that as a high-tech Internet, if you don't write some high-tech information, you will be sorry for this website. Too low.

"If you can sit here, it means that you have a certain understanding of the Internet, and you don't need me to introduce it further, if you still don't understand, go back and read all the issues 1 to 98 of Computer Weekly." To Zhang Xiaolong's surprise, he took a week off, and on the first day he came to work in the department, one thing was to attend classes.

And the lecturer was actually the chairman of the group, a young man of the same age as them. When Chu Qing introduced his identity, the dozen or so people present were speechless in surprise.

In the past, on TV or newspapers, people were introduced to Duan Yongping and Ke Shaoan. At that time, they thought that the general manager was the boss of backgammon.

But it wasn't until I actually entered BBK that I didn't know that there was actually a group chairman above, and he was such a young person.

Think about it now, backgammon has been established for three years, which means that he was only 19 years old at that time. Not to mention the 24-year-old Zhang Xiaolong, as long as he graduated from college, he is at least 22 years old.

But compared to him, everyone was a little embarrassed. It's the same person, why is the gap so big?

"When you came to BBK, you are one of the first people to engage in the Internet industry in China, and you have only one job, which is to create Internet services." Chu Qing said and turned around and wrote a few big words on the blackboard behind him.

"Chat, play games, look up information, learn."

"These are the things that the Internet can bring us right now."

"Of course, the Internet is much more than that, it has many more possibilities waiting for us to develop."

"For example, if I want to listen to music on the Internet, can I go to the movies?"

"For example, I want to see my family and friends who are far away through the Internet, can I?"

“……”

"With ideas, anything is possible with the Internet." The development of the Internet is indeed rapid, and in three years, a lot of things have appeared.

In this emerging industry, countless people are starting to contribute to it. Many of the prototypes of the future can be seen now.

However, there are many limitations, such as the use of email for communication, and the absence of forums and instant messaging.

The reason why Chu Qing gave them a lesson on the first day of work in the Internet Department was to open up their minds.

The most important thing to engage in the Internet is to have a broad vision. For the Internet, people in this era are still groping, and everyone knows that the Internet will be the future and there will be unlimited possibilities.

Many big bulls have also published a lot of books, predicting various possibilities. But how to achieve this is the question before everyone.

"This is the most complete computer programming language. It is compiled by our media company and is an internal material. I know that each of you has mastered at least one programming language, but it is not enough, you must always keep abreast of the latest programming language, learn and use it proficiently. Chu Qing asked the secretary to send more than a dozen documents to everyone present.

"Next, we will divide the Internet business into several groups, and you can choose according to your own intentions." Saying that, Chu Qing wrote five more entries on the blackboard.

"Communication, Information, Browsers, Search, Games"

"You choose the project according to your interests and develop it together. When the time comes, the company will provide you with all the resources. I have only one request, simple and practical! Zhang Xiaolong stared blankly at these five entries, although he began to pay attention to the Internet when he was in college, and he was also the best used in C programming in their school.

But when I came to backgammon, I realized that the Internet was so vast. He can roughly know what communication and information means, and he has only heard of the browser, but he has never seen what it is, and he doesn't know what the search is.

It's a game he once imagined, through the Internet everyone to play games together, but let him do it, it is estimated that he is blind.

Thinking about it, he raised his hand and chose information, after all, this is easier to understand.

"Your name is Zhang Xiaolong? Huazhong Institute of Technology? Just as he raised his hand to choose, the chairman actually looked at him with a strange look.

"Yes."

"You go to the communications group, there are too many people on the information side." Knowing this school recruitment, BBK has recruited a lot of talents, after all, the basic salary of 1500 can be regarded as a high salary across the country.

But it wasn't until he checked the information at this moment that Chu Qing knew that he actually had a great god here. Just kidding, the father of WeChat ran to sort out the news, which is a waste of talent.

If history had not been disrupted, Zhang Xiaolong, who had graduated from university, would have worked in a telecommunications agency for a few months.

However, the boring work made him lose his passion, and after the emergence of Yinghaiwei in 95, he would devote himself to the dynamic Internet industry.

And single-handedly, he wrote Foxmail. An email software that can compete with Microsoft Outlook.

In 2000, Foxmail had 2 million users, compared to Tencent's 100,000.

It was that year that Boda Internet Company acquired Foxmail for 12 million yuan.

In five years, Zhang Xiaolong fell into a vast quagmire, and many programmers and product managers of his era have become Internet veterans, but he has disappeared.

The five years of the Internet have been changing rapidly. In 2005, Boda Internet Company, which had been in decline, packaged and transferred the Foxmail team and Zhang Xiaolong to Tencent.

Entering Tencent started from QQ mailbox, which made Zhang Xiaolong usher in a turnaround, and then it was not until the establishment of WeChat in 2010 that everyone recognized Zhang Xiaolong again.

There is also a story in this that the earliest foxmail was intended to be sold to Jinshan. It's just that the price was not negotiated at that time, and then it was dissolved.

Lei Jun never expected that a mistake at the beginning would make his rice chat and finally be defeated by Zhang Xiaolong's WeChat.

If he had bought Foxmail in the first place, it would be hard to say what happened next. It's just that all of this has now become Chu Qing's problem.

How to use such a good knife in order to make him shine.

"The first task of the distribution team was to develop an internal email software." The current internal communication of BBK is still telephone and fax.

Coupled with the nation's flagship stores and branches nationwide, BBK now has more than 20,000 employees.

With such a large scale, not counting front-line workers, it is a huge communication cost for the communication and coordination of the flagship store.

Now BBK has obtained an ISP, which can provide users with Internet access services. Once the software is developed, it will be possible to communicate software between internal departments.

The greatest convenience provided by the Internet is that it speeds up communication between people. E-mail is slower than instant messaging, but it is also much more convenient than today's telephone telegraphs.

You must know that at this time, if you want to make a long-distance call, you have to wait for a long-distance transfer. It will take two or three years to completely boast about the direct dialing.

As for the computer configuration, not to mention, the offices of the heads of various functional departments of BBK have been equipped with computers since last year.

As for the flagship store below, it's even simpler. As early as last year, BBK was imitating the application of the Windows 3 system on the eight-bit computer.

After the release of the Chinese version of Windows 3.2 this year, BBK directly copied it to the latest learning machine.

In the past three years, the R&D department has been improving the learning machine. Last year's latest learning machine was already equipped with 128K memory, and it has a built-in 1.44M 3.5-inch floppy drive.

Nowadays, as long as you add a telephone line interface, upgrade the memory and match a video memory, you can realize the function of surfing the Internet on the learning machine.
