my return 2002

Chapter 225 Supergirl Ends
In the next few days, Lao Wang posted two more diaries, both of which were teaching home cooking, in the form of text + pictures, but there were still no views.

Old Wang couldn't help being a little discouraged, but after thinking about it, he didn't lose anything. If it doesn't work, it won't work.

On this day, Pharaoh came to the small restaurant as usual to wash and prepare vegetables.Cutting vegetables, the whole morning passed in such a calm manner, and it was not until 11:30 that the first table of guests began to be served.

Lao Wang was cooking here, when he suddenly heard a commotion in front, Lao Wang thought it was someone who was causing trouble, so he hurried to the front to have a look.

As a result, I saw several burly men at the door, and I thought badly, I am afraid that I will lose money today.

I heard the big man in the lead ask: "This is the old Wang's restaurant in YY's diary? This place doesn't look good either."

Old Wang was a little confused when he heard that: "Well, what do you guys mean by this?"

"Nonsense, what do you mean by your meal time? Of course it's time to eat." The leading burly man said.

Just as they were talking, another couple entered the door.

"Hey, is this here? Isn't this place too small?" The girl was a little disgusted.

The boy said earnestly: "Hey, you don't understand this, this kind of fly restaurant is delicious."

When Lao Wang asked, he realized that they all found the address from his YY diary. Lao Wang was a little puzzled. No one read his YY diary all the time, so why did someone suddenly find him?
"Uncle, you are Lao Wang? You don't know yet? Your Weibo was pushed to the home page for recommendation. I saw it when I opened the YY diary today. Uncle, you just made the three dishes in the YY diary. Come up for us, my saliva almost flowed out when I watched it in the morning." The boy said.

The big man on the side also echoed: "That's right, give us a portion of those three dishes, plus a pot of meat, a soup, and a case of beer."

"Okay, everyone, sit down first." Although Old Wang was puzzled, he didn't have time to take care of so much when he came to business, so he hurried back to the back kitchen to cook.

After being busy for a while, several big men and the young couple praised a few dishes when they came to the table.

"This dish tastes good, why didn't I find it before?"

"Hey, let me just say that the food in this fly restaurant is authentic. The food in the big restaurant is expensive and not delicious, so there's no need for it."

In the afternoon, a few more tables of business came, and I found it only after seeing Lao Wang's YY diary. Lao Wang kept busy until eight o'clock in the evening, and then he packed up the shop and went home.

Although he was exhausted, Pharaoh couldn't help but turned on the computer and started to log in to YY.

Sure enough, he saw his diary on the YY homepage, and what surprised him even more was that in just one day, the number of views of the previous few articles, which were still in double digits, had already exceeded [-], and there were many left messages for him below.

In these messages, some praised him, some asked about cooking details, and some wanted to learn from him.

A thought popped up in Lao Wang's mind: Am I on fire?
There are also a group of people who have the same situation as Lao Wang. The editors of YY Diary search for those who are carefully crafted and the content is not bad from the vast number of diaries, and push them on the homepage. With the huge number of users of YY, the daily page views of these YY diaries It can be more than [-], and some even break through a million.

Although it is not comparable to celebrities like Xu Jinglei, it is still very helpful for the daily activities of YY log users. Some users have gotten used to it, and go online every day to see if their favorite logs have been updated.

And this kind of change is relatively secretive, so that Sina and Penguin are still competing for celebrities.

Sina CEO Cao Guowei tried his best, and even Jack Ma was dragged by him to open a Sina blog.

The reason why Cao Guowei wanted Jack Ma to start a Sina blog was mainly because of Yahoo’s capital injection into Ali. The USD 10 billion capital injection broke the highest record of a single Internet investment in the Mainland.

At the same time, Ali has jumped from a small well-known company to the top group of Internet companies in the mainland. It has to be said that Yang Zhiyuan's influence is still very large. At this time, Yahoo is also at its peak. Ali The marriage with Yahoo is also known as "a match made in heaven".

Jack Ma's momentum even once overshadowed Li Yanhong who just brought Baidu to the market, and Jack Ma is also more high-profile than Li Yanhong.

For this reason, Xiao Ma called Li Yanhong and invited him to join QQ Diary. Unfortunately, Li Yanhong felt that the appearance of QQ diaries and blogs would weaken the influence of Baidu Tieba, so he directly rejected Xiao Ma.

On August 8, the Super Girl Finals officially started. After a fierce competition, Li Yuchun won the Super Girl Championship with 26 million votes, Zhou Bichang won the runner-up with 352 million votes, and Zhang Jingying, the third runner-up, only had 327 million votes.

In the Super Girl finals, the number of simultaneous online users of YY users also reached the peak. YY users alone cast more than 500 million votes for the Super Girl contestants. When the YY account can only cast one vote.

On the day of the Super Girls Finals alone, YY users increased by 800 million. According to YY background data, in just three months, YY users increased by more than 1 million.

It's been a magical summer without a doubt!

In the midst of this turmoil, the time came to September, and that night Shen Lang received a call from Jack Ma.

"Mr. Shen, when are you coming? I can arrange a hotel for you here."

Shen Lang froze for a moment, slapped his forehead, and then remembered that last time Jack Ma invited him to participate in the West Lake Discussion of Swords.

Seeing that Shen Lang didn't respond, Jack Ma doubted: "Mr. Shen, you forgot about this, right?"

"No, how could that be? I'll come over on Friday the 9th." Of course, Shen Lang couldn't admit that he forgot.

Jack Ma breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Mr. Shen came too hastily last time, this time I can have a drink with you."

"Definitely." Shen Lang hung up the phone, wondering if he should take Lei Jun with him. Jack Ma is also a drinker. He almost didn't get drunk by him last time, and I heard that Brother Ma is also going this time. Listen Said that this is also a veteran of the alcohol battlefield.

At noon on Friday, Shen Lang drove Lei Jun to Hangzhou. Although Lei Jun complained that Shen Lang took him to avoid drinking, he still happily followed. After all, this kind of occasion is not a big deal. Everyone is eligible to come.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei, you've come here. You've worked hard all the way." Jack Ma has been enjoying himself recently, and the smile on his face can hardly be restrained.

Shen Lang and Lei Jun looked at each other and smiled, it is not difficult to understand, he just raised 10 billion US dollars, not to mention such a large amount, he also obtained all the assets of Yahoo Mainland, including technical personnel, no one can control it.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ma, for getting such a large amount of investment, the market value exceeds 25 billion U.S. dollars before it goes public." Shen Lang smiled and shook hands with Jack Ma.

Jack Ma laughed loudly: "President Shen was joking, YY has become so strong recently, I should be the one to congratulate you."

The three exchanged a few pleasantries, and Jack Ma took them to check-in in person. Shen Lang and Lei Jun returned to the room. Not long after putting down their luggage, Jack Ma called and invited them to have dinner together.

The host still has to give this face, Shen Lang went downstairs with Lei Jun, and happened to meet Xiao Ma and Zhang Zhidong entering the hotel.

Looking at each other, Shen Lang and Xiao Ma nodded with a smile, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

Seeing this, Jack Ma quickly smoothed things over: "Oh, I think it's getting late, Mr. Zhang, let's check in first, and then I'll treat everyone to a light meal."

Only then did Shen Lang and Brother Xiao Ma shake hands, as a greeting.

Lei Jun whispered to Shen Lang: "It seems that brother Ma has a lot of opinions on you!"

"It's as if I have no opinion on you." Shen Lang complained, but to be honest, Shen Lang was actually very happy to be able to make Xiao Ma look like this, which means that YY has already competed with QQ Ability.

You must know that when Brother Ma came to Inspur Technology last time, he was chatting and laughing with Shen Lang. In business, if your competitors greet you with a smile, it is actually not a good sign. thing.

After helping Brother Xiao Ma and Zhang Zhidong to check in, Jack called a commercial vehicle and ordered the driver to take them to the hotel, presumably to avoid the embarrassment of bumping into Brother Xiao Ma again.

Just as Shen Lang and Lei Jun got out of the car, another car arrived, and the person who got off was an acquaintance——Yang Zhiyuan.

"Mr. Shen and Mr. Lei are welcome."

Shen Lang and Lei Jun looked at each other, feeling a little weird, why is Yang Zhiyuan acting like a master.

"Mr. Yang, this time your generosity has shocked people both at home and abroad." Lei Jun still praised Yang Zhiyuan.

Yang Zhiyuan looked at Shen Lang with a smile: "Actually, the person I've always wanted to invest in won't give me a chance."

"Mr. Yang is joking, the combination of Yahoo and Ali is a match made in heaven." Shen Lang shook his head.

"Perhaps." Yang Zhiyuan saw that Shen Lang didn't accept the offer, so he had no choice but to sigh, and invited the two to enter the restaurant together.

Along the way, Yang Zhiyuan also enthusiastically discussed the future of YY with Shen Lang, and even asked Shen Lang if he had the confidence to kill QQ.

Shen Lang just smiled: "Time will give the answer."

Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang with a sense of comfort. In the past, Shen Lang would probably have covered this topic with a few vague words, but now Shen Lang's tone of saying this is obviously confident, It seems that my table was not taken in vain that day.

Yang Zhiyuan also felt that Shen Lang had changed, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that the company's business had improved, so it had become more confident.

All the way down to the box led by the waiter, there were already people chatting inside, and the three of them stood up from their chairs.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei, you're here." It was Ding Sanshi who spoke, and next to him were Zhang Chaoyang and Cao Guowei.

Good guys, the three major portals are here.

Shen Lang also greeted Zhang Chaoyang and Cao Guowei.

Zhang Chaoyang was fine, he shook hands with Shen Lang, he didn't show too much enthusiasm, and he didn't reject people thousands of miles away.

On the contrary, Cao Guowei said to Shen Lang slightly teasingly: "Mr. Shen, YY Diary is our life and death enemy now, what if we drink too much and fight?"

"Then I won't drink." Shen Lang half-jokingly said.

"Haha, well thought out, you cunning, you won't be able to escape tonight's drink. Look, I brought a special case of Moutai." Ding Sanshi and Shen Lang have always had a good relationship, and the business of the two companies is also very good. There has been no intersection, and he is one of the few friends of Shen Lang in the Internet circle.

Shen Lang shrugged, with a gloomy expression on his face, it seemed that today's drink would not be able to escape.

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this.

However, the warm atmosphere didn't last long, and soon as Jack Ma, Brother Xiao Ma, and Zhang Zhidong entered the box, the box became quiet in an instant.

There is no way, QQ and YY are sworn enemies, and QQ Log is in a battle with Sina Blog, it's strange if the atmosphere is harmonious.

As the host, Jack Ma saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly called the waiter: "Hurry up and serve."

Then he greeted everyone to take a seat: "Oh, everyone has been exhausted all the way, and it really gave me face to come. I will make a toast to a few of you later."

Ding Sanshi also smoothed things over and said: "Mr. Ma is too polite. Usually everyone is busy with work, so it is a rare opportunity to get together."

Soon, the dishes were served, and the atmosphere eased. Jack Ma really did what he said, without even moving his chopsticks, and directly toasted each person with a glass. Jack Ma is actually not the kind of person who is born to drink. A few glasses of wine His face turned red after eating, probably because of his frequent drinking.

After Jack Ma finished toasting a round of wine, he raised the topic again.

"Mr. Shen, I remember that Inspur Technology has a search business, and Baidu has already listed it. Why does 360 search seem to be tepid?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Lang.

Shen Lang pretended to be helpless and shrugged: "There is no way, 306 search is still lacking in technology, and there is no rush to develop, let's do a good job of internal strength first."

Brother Xiao Ma scoffed at this. At the beginning, he also thought that Inspur Technology was not a threat. As a result, YY became a hot product overnight, and the number of users surpassed that of QQ, which made him very embarrassed.

In Brother Xiao Ma's view, Shen Lang is a wolf in sheep's clothing, especially good at disguising, when everyone thinks he is not a threat, that is when he shows his fangs.

Yang Zhiyuan agrees with Shen Lang very much: "Well, I think Mr. Shen's strategy is very good. It is king to accumulate more technology."

Everyone exchanged again, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. They each started toasting. Ding Sanshi also bumped into Shen Lang, saying with some emotion.

"Mr. Shen, this World of Warcraft has completely opened the curtain of 3D games. Do you think there is still a future for 2D online games?"

Sina's Cao Guowei and Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang both looked at Shen Lang. Now Sina and Sohu both have game business, and also represent some Korean online games, but the results are not very satisfactory. Naturally, they want to hear Shen Lang's opinion.

Shen Lang smiled secretly, and said solemnly: "Well, 3D online games will definitely be a trend in the future. Players will definitely have higher and higher requirements for gameplay and picture quality in the future, and the competition will definitely become more and more fierce in the future."

Cao Guowei and Zhang Chaoyang looked at each other and nodded approvingly.

Brother Xiao Ma was also moved in his heart. This battle with Sina blog also made him realize the importance of money, which further strengthened his determination to vigorously develop the game business. It is only Penguin’s two current games. Not bad, but as a free casual online game, the profit is too poor, QQ Fantasy is even more hip, and there are no times when more than 3 people are online at the same time.
