my return 2002

Chapter 95
Shen Lang took Xiao Xu to Wangjing, the first stop to leave Haidian.

1998 was the first year of real estate.This year, the welfare housing allocation system was abolished, and commercial housing became the mainstream of the market.

As the capital, Beijing also ushered in a boom in real estate development in 1998. Wangjing is one of the hotspots, with an average annual residential building area of ​​more than 80 square meters. The relatively cheap price has attracted a large number of working-class people.

In 2003, Wangjing had not yet become the second CBD in Beijing, and the average house price was 4500 square meters.

Along the way, Shen Lang and Xiao Xu received several leaflets about real estate, and Shen Lang couldn't help thinking, is the real estate sales at this time a great merit?

However, Xiao Xu dismissed these real estate leaflets: "4500 per flat is more expensive than Shanghai, and the housing price bubble will collapse sooner or later."

Shen Lang patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "If the family has the conditions, you can buy a set with a loan. In another 20 years, you may not be able to buy it with a zero behind it."

Xiao Xu looked at Shen Lang in surprise, but apparently he didn't take his words to heart, so Shen Lang just let him go.

The Internet cafes near Wangjing are not as dense as the South Gate of Peking University. Some black Internet cafes are still very secretive. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t really see it, just like the game hall hidden in a small shop.

What Shen Lang saw in front of him was a typical black Internet cafe, with about [-] computers in it. Although there were not many computers, there were quite a lot of customers. Only two or three computers were vacant, and there were a few customers who probably didn’t. After the money, I was reluctant to leave, so I stood behind and watched others play.

"It costs three yuan an hour to surf the Internet. After ten o'clock in the evening, it's considered a night package. It costs ten yuan a night. How long have you used it?" A young man with a cigarette in his mouth asked lazily. Judging from his dark circles, it is usually Certainly no less late nights.

Shen Lang asked: "Are you the boss here? Or the network administrator?"

Before the man could answer, he heard a customer surfing the Internet shouting: "Network administrator, what kind of broken computer do you have? It crashes every now and then?"

The young man replied angrily: "If it crashes, you can restart it. Shouting is useless, and I didn't make it crash."

The customer cursed and restarted the computer.

The young man looked at Shen Lang vigilantly: "I am both the boss and the network administrator. Aren't you here to surf the Internet?"

Xiao Xu made a brief introduction, and then began to sell the smart pinyin input method to the boss.

"Damn, the co-author is here to sell CDs, don't worry, I've never heard of Inspur Technology, I know Sina." The young man said impatiently.

Just as Xiao Xu was about to say something, Shen Lang stood in front of him and said to the young man: "Boss, our software is only a dozen megabytes, and it can be downloaded directly from the Internet. You don't need to install it from a CD. As for whether it is easy to use, it is up to you." You can download it and have a try, I think you are often asked by customers how to spell a certain word, our smart pinyin input method should reduce some of your workload."

The young man looked at Shen Lang suspiciously: "Is that software of yours really as good as it says?"

"How much is your website?"

"www.360pinyin.com."

"It's easy to remember."

Opening the website, most of the young man's previous doubts were dispelled. From the neat interface of this website, it does not look like the work of a small workshop.

The young man was not in a hurry to download it, but flipped through the introduction of the smart pinyin input method on the website. If the above functions can really be realized, it will indeed save him a lot of work.

He has opened an Internet cafe for half a year. People who come here to surf the Internet are either to play games or to chat on QQ. They all need to type. If they can’t spell, they can find the network administrator. , was woken up by a customer, but just to ask how to spell a word, he wished he could buy twenty dictionaries and put them on the computer desk.

Seeing that the young man hadn't downloaded it for a long time, Xiao Xu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Just when he thought he would return without success this time, the young man finally clicked the download button on the website.

After downloading, the young man clicked to install, and it was installed quickly. Then he created a new document and started typing. Sure enough, some commonly used words came out without spelling, and he also found that, When typing a long list of text, this 360 Smart Pinyin input method is much easier to use than Microsoft.

"Hey, what does this registered account mean? You won't be charged after a while, right?" The young man looked at Shen Lang vigilantly.

Shen Lang said with a smile: "Our software is free for life. This registration account is mainly for your Internet cafe users. After the computer in the Internet cafe is turned off, all data will be cleared. In this way, the users' common words will be lost, but as long as you After registering our account, the user's thesaurus will be uploaded to our server, and the user will never lose it no matter where he logs in to the thesaurus next time."

"This function is good." The young man appreciated.

While talking, a customer suddenly shouted: "Network administrator, why can't my computer be turned on?"

The young man stood up and took a look: "It's time, we still need to get off the plane to renew!"

"Damn, there is no money here? Time flies too fast, right? Boss, you are not cheating me, are you?" the customer cursed.

The young man pointed at the monitor angrily: "I'll keep track of the time for you, you can't be wrong."

"Give me another two hours." The customer said unwillingly.

"Okay." The young man collected the money and returned to the front desk.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Boss, you have to remember the time of each machine on the computer, isn't it inconvenient?"

The young man sighed: "That's right, it's easy to make mistakes when there are many people. I only have about 50 machines, which is considered a small number. My cousin has more than [-] machines, so it's called a rush."

Shen Lang looked at him and smiled: "Boss, if there is a software that can automatically keep time for you and remind customers before it's time to board the computer, would you like it?"

"That's for sure." The young man glared at Shen Lang angrily: "Okay, I'm still here to sell CDs together with you."

"Boss, we are an Internet company, not selling software. We will make products that are in demand, and all of them are free. We don't make money by selling CDs." Shen Lang couldn't help explaining with a wry smile. Sure enough, free domestic Internet is king.

The young man looked at Shen Lang suspiciously for a while: "Then how do you make money? Don't tell me your Internet companies are all doing charity?"

Shen Lang could only continue to explain: "For example, since you know Sina, you must know that you don't need money to visit Sina and read news on it, right? But other businesses need money to advertise on it."

"Oh, you mean to advertise on this software in the future?" The young man suddenly realized.

"That's pretty much what it means."

"That's no problem. As long as you don't need money, you can talk about anything. When will your software be ready?"

"Within a month, why don't you give me a call and fix it, then I'll call you and give you the website address."

"Okay, thanks buddy."
