(Thanks to Zong Hanyang and Ting Yuye for the rewards, and thanks to other book friends for their rewards and voting support. It seems that it is difficult to copy the nicknames of readers who have been rewarded in batches at the starting point. I don’t know what to do. It is best to read the updated chapters every day and increase the follow-up data. Thank you for your support! Thank you!)

"Dear Mr. FET: I have received your letter, and I am glad that you like the domain name I registered. The domain name transfer price of 200 million US dollars is just a number I filled in at the beginning. If you are really interested in this QQ.COM If the domain name is of interest, I think $30 should be a reasonable transfer price.”

"You can add my MSN chat and look forward to hearing from you - Robert Huntsman."

Seeing this email, Fang Jie couldn't help but smile.

30 US dollars... According to the current exchange rate of about 1:8.2, it is equivalent to about 250 million RMB.

This price is definitely the price of cabbage. If the goose factory can get the QQ.COM top-level domain name at this price in the future, everyone in the company will probably sleep and wake up.

But Fang Jie doesn't have so much money now. Even if he had so much money, he wouldn't invest so much for a broken domain name.

Moreover, 30 US dollars is only a preliminary price offered by others, and there must be room for bargaining.

So Fang Jie added each other's MSN.

Due to the time difference, it was morning at Citigroup, and Robert Huntsman happened to be online.

After the two parties were added as contacts, Fang Jie sent a passage in English: "Mr. Robert, the price of 30 US dollars is too high. If it is 30 RMB, I can consider it."

The other party replied: "30 RMB? NO NO NO! Are you kidding me? This is less than 4 US dollars! The price you offered is far lower than my psychological expectations. It seems that we can't continue to talk. , maybe it was a mistake from the start."

Fang Jie, who understands psychology, knew at a glance that this was not an excuse from the other party, but that the bargaining was too ruthless, causing the other party to retreat directly.

So Fang Jie said conveniently: "You know, I just use this domain name to build a personal website, and the high cost of the domain name seems to be a bit of a loss."

Robert Huntsman replied: "Of course I can understand what you said, there is no need to invest such a large domain name cost for a personal website. But my two-letter domain name itself has high commercial value. I didn't agree to the $8 offer."

After a while, he sent another sentence: "Mr. FET, the Nasdaq index is about to break through the 5000-point mark. According to the current development trend of the Internet industry, such top-level domain names will become more and more valuable in the future. So, if your sincerity is not enough, I can only express regret and sympathy."

After reading these words, Fang Jie, who had planned to buy a domain name by smashing the pot and selling iron, suddenly dismissed the idea in his heart.

Is the Nasdaq on the verge of breaking the 5000 mark?
Fang Jie wanted to laugh.

It turned out that the other party was sitting on the ground asking for money because he watched the Nasdaq trending very hot?
Well, then wait until the 10th of next month, after the Nasdaq crash.

I remember that the bursting of the Internet bubble caused Nasdaq to go into a bear market for two years, and now, just before the crash, the market was at its craziest, so a broken domain name was asking for $30.

Just wait, it won't be long before Robert Huntsman will turn around crying and begging him to buy a domain name at a lower price.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie replied in MSN: "Mr. Robert, the transfer price you offered is really unacceptable to me. The highest budget I can afford is $10. If you can accept this price, we can have a good talk. ."

"$10 is too little." The other party replied, "I can sell it for 10 casually now, why should I go far? Besides, this domain name still has a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Look. Come, there is a big gap between our expectations, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"OK." Fang Jie simply replied, and then turned off MSN.

He is too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party now, and it will be suitable to continue talking until this Robert understands what "no tears without a coffin" means.

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, and even if he didn't succeed, it wouldn't have any effect on him. This was just a leak.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, I logged on to the Capitine website to check the status of member data review.

A full day has passed, and the audit has still not passed. The efficiency is really low.

In desperation, Fang Jie had to do other work.

According to the outline of future development, there is a lot to do now.

Let's put it this way, even if he works 3 hours a day for the next 24 years, he may not be able to finish the things he planned. This is one of the reasons why he suddenly didn't want to work hard before, because his scalp was numb just thinking about it, and he was intimidated. .

The next work plan is to create a large-scale game interactive community website.

The first step involves the selection of the top-level domain name.

Without hesitation, Fang Jie chose three domain names, 51wan.com, 51wan.net, and 51wan.cn, which are homophonic "I want to play".

This is him. He has the advantage of foresight, and these good domain names are activated by him in a very extravagant way like cabbage.

Not to mention anything else, even if these websites fail to operate in the future, the domain name is still valuable, and it is still a successful investment that can bring tens of millions of times the return.

To build a large-scale game interactive community website is not as simple as getting a navigation website and 51ka.

This is actually a website-type online game, which is equivalent to re-development of one or more text-based online games. It has high requirements for website programs, databases, server performance and capacity, and page settings.

Fang Jie is currently just building a simple framework, and then putting the page game "Place Jianghu" under development for internal testing and improvement, and is not open to the public.

The server performance and bandwidth provided by the domain name service provider cannot meet the requirements of multiple online users. This must be assumed as a separate server in the future. Now he can go in and debug alone. If there are many people, the website will have various problems or even crash.

While Fang Jie was busy, the owner of the Internet cafe suddenly came over and told him some bad news.

"The Internet cafe will be closed for a day tomorrow. The boss will come down to check." The owner of the Internet cafe seemed a little worried.

"Closed inspection?"

Fang Jie was stunned: "What does it have to do with me? My computer room doesn't belong to your Internet cafe."

The other party rubbed his hands and said, "But your computer room is still in the business hall after all! And it's a special line, which is illegal! My brother-in-law told me in the afternoon that this time is related to the business hall system and personnel changes. He'll be transferred out."

Fang Jie couldn't help frowning.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed that after the New Year's Eve in 2000, Telecom Mobile was officially split, and a group company was established independently. Presumably this change is related to this matter, and he just caught up.
