Cang Yaozu and a few fellow passengers chattered and gossiped, he didn't want his mind to be idle, he was prone to panic when he was idle, he urgently needed some realistic stimulation, which would let him know that he was not in a dream.

Cang Yaozu obtained a lot of details from the conversations with fellow travelers, which can be used to verify the world he is in now, and even when he took the cup to drink, he deliberately put his finger into the hot water, the water was very hot, and his fingers were very painful, but he did not wake up. He was truly born again.

Reborn in this 96 years, although there are no mobile phones or the Internet in this era, this is the best era, this is destined to belong to the shining era of Cang Yaozu, and he will definitely be able to live his own wonderful life.

Hey, no, mobile phones must be available now, the world's first mobile phone was born in 1973 at Citigroup Motorola, but Cang Yaozu didn't have a mobile phone yet. You must know that the famous China Mobile will not be established until four years later.

The Internet is also definitely there, in 94 Huaxia joined the Internet, and also built the Huaxia education and scientific research computer network CERNET. In September last year, Inseaway was founded, a pioneer of the Chinese Internet, which is more similar to the model of Citigroup Online. It's just that in today's China, the Internet is not yet popular, and ordinary people can't reach it.

Just last month, Mr. Zhang's company launched a website called "Sohu," which will not be renamed "Sohu" until November next year. NetEase will not be founded in Huadu until June next year.

The predecessor of Sina, Sitong Lifang, was established, but the establishment of Sina.com was not until December 1998.

The three major portals are still in the womb, and now it can be said that it is the eve of the development of the Internet in China.

In Tel Aviv, Israel's second-largest city, the famous Silicon Valley of the Middle East, Eric Wadi took $75,000 from his father and founded a company called Mirabilis with three friends who had just completed military service.

Now, they're locked up in a room, nervously developing an Internet software. In three months, ICQ will be available, ushering in a new era of instant messaging. In other words, I can really see the day when the delicate flower of ICQ will bloom again.

Then, in February 1998, the road to giants that began with the imitation of ICQ will also set sail.

Nowadays, the Internet is really a virgin land, but how can we get a piece of the cake, how can a pink freshman who has no money, no connections, and no technology rush into the Internet industry like a white wolf with empty gloves? This is a problem.

"Classmate, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about a cigarette, or are you thinking about that song?"

"Meet me, my name is Cang Yaozu, I am a college freshman, I like art, but unfortunately my five tones are incomplete, so I can only sing some Internet songs. ”

"Hello, my name is Zhou Chunyu, I am also a freshman this year, I am a foreign language major, by the way, are you really an art student? Then why do you say that you are incomplete in five tones? I heard that the art examination in art colleges is very difficult, can you be admitted to art colleges if you can sing Internet songs? What is an Internet song?"

Uh, yes, the Internet is not popular yet, and there are no Internet songs. How to explain it?

"Classmate Zhou, Chunyu, what a good name. This is a small category of songs that I made myself, Internet songs, they are saliva songs, and they are song styles that the public likes. ”

"Poof, what kind of snare to attract the public, I have only heard of the general public and the snaring of talents, what the hell is it to snaring the public?"

"Haha, the snare won't be a word I coined, see the smile and laugh, the snare, it can also be called the Internet, do you know? This kind of song style is more similar to Citigroup's country music, it can be called Chinese country music, or urban-rural music.

Because this style of song is more popular on the Internet in Citigroup, so I call it an Internet song, this kind of song, the lyrics are more popular and straightforward, the tune is relatively simple, often a tune is repeatedly applied back and forth, the average person can remember the melody after listening to it a few times, even if it is a person with incomplete tones, it is difficult to go out of tune, it is easy to brainwash, so it is also called saliva song. I love this kind of song, it's not very stylish, but it's popular, and pop is king. ”

"Brainwashing? How? I only know how to wash my hair. ”

"How do you wash brainwashing? This, let's wash the brain in water, haha. Cang Yaozu couldn't help laughing, people in this era are really innocent.

"The Internet songs you are talking about, are they not as delicate and elegant as the spring and white snow, and the music is high and low. The little girl Zhou Chunyu used her brains and tried to understand what Cang Yaozu said.

"That's right, there are not a lot of high notes in the music, there are not a lot of skills, the lyrics and tunes are very simple and rough saliva songs, it is characterized by being easy to learn and sing without going out of tune. Cang Yaozu concluded.

"There's nothing wrong with this, it's easy to get started and the threshold is low, so it's easy to become popular, which is the gospel of the general public. ”

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the threshold is too low, it's outrageously low, so some people in the music industry don't like it, it's like I'm playing cotton, you're playing guitar, I have to say that we're all engaged in art, then you're definitely not happy." ”

Cang Yaozu made an analogy, so that Zhou Chunyu could understand why some people didn't like these saliva songs, because these songs lowered the threshold of music and made music no longer elegant.

"Then I'm definitely not happy, playing cotton and playing guitar are not the same thing at all, but it's good to play each other. Zhou Chunyu nodded, she could understand some people's unhappiness, but she didn't agree.

"Yes, but those people are not so easy to talk to, they are climbing up the mountain step by step, but what about me, I came up directly by cable car. So, you despise me, who called me rich and capricious. ”

"Haha, it's funny, rich and capricious, are you rich? I don't think you look like a rich man?" Zhou Chunyu really couldn't stand Cang Yaozu talking so fresh and interesting.

"Well, I'm very poor materially, but I'm rich spiritually. ”

"You're very Ah Q. ”

"yes, I'm ICQ. ”

"I said you're very Ah Q spirit, isn't it some ICQ?"

"Haha, I like the spirit of Ah Q very much, and I also like the name ICQ, so I am ready to register the trademark and domain name of ICQ. ”

"What is a trademark? What is a domain name? I found that you know a lot of strange things, no wonder you have to go to art school, and your cultural class must not be good. "Zhou Chunyu discovered the special thing about Cang Yaozu.

"It seems that you are right not to apply for economics and business. Trademarks, do you know Yahoo.com? A Citigroup Internet company that went public in April this year has a market value of $500 million just after it goes public. YAHOO! IS ITS TRADEMARK, AND IT'S ITS DOMAIN NAME. A domain name is the name and entry point to a website. There are a lot of domain names that are very, very valuable. ”

"Uh, how much is it worth? ”

"IT'S WORTH A LOT OF MONEY, AND CITIGROUP HAS A SENIOR NAMED TIM LEE, WHO REGISTERED A DOMAIN NAME IN 1995, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING HIM IF IT CAN BE USED FOR FOOD? Tim sold this domain name this year, guess how much it was sold?" Cang Yaozu asked Zhou Chunyu to guess the price of this domain name, and he was sure that Zhou Chunyu's guess was definitely not matched.

"10,000 yuan?" Zhou Chunyu gave the first price, very uncertain, she really had no idea about the value of the domain name.

"No, it's too low, guess again. ”

"500,000 1 million 3 million 5 million?"

"You're fooling, yes, it's 3 million, but it's not 3 million Chinese dollars, it's 3 million US dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 25 million yuan. Cang Yaozu announced the answer, and if he wanted Zhou Chunyu to guess it, it was really more difficult than the Yellow River flowing backwards.

"Wow, it's so expensive, 2,500 yuan households. And how much did he spend to register this domain name?"

"It didn't cost anything, domain name registration was free until August 1995, and of course you still had to pay for renewal. Now it's about $100 to be able to sign up for 2 years, and then you need to renew it every year. ”

"Then you still have to register an ICQ domain name and sell it for money? ”

Cang Yaozu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's impossible to sell for money, at least not now." A three-letter domain name like this is not pleasant, and meaningful English word domain names and famous trademarked names are the first choice for domain name registration, and I registered this domain name for my own use. ”

"Do you want to make a website for your own use?" Cang Yaozu's answer surprised Zhou Chunyu.

"Websites, maybe in the future, not now, I don't know how to make web pages, I don't even have a computer, it's a terrible time, but luckily, I don't have to wait too long. ”
