Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 474 Opening the Portal Era

September 1997, 9, Beijing.

On this day, the sky was clear and clear in Beijing.

There was an atmosphere of joy in the Asian Games Village.

On the wall of the apartment building, a row of neon lights from top to bottom outlines the text.

"Jingcheng Souxin Network Technology Co., Ltd."

On the roof of the building, there are three big characters "Soxin Network".

It can be seen at a glance from more than ten miles away.

In the chairman's office on the ninth floor, with the sound of "information search network online", Lu Changhua's finger firmly pressed the Enter key.

The homepage of "Souxin.com" popped up on the computers nearby.

Hush, boom, thunderous applause in the office.

Soxin.com is officially launched.

At the same time, major news media across the country publicly reported that the first domestic portal website was launched.

At this point, Mouyi's website is still under testing.

The news broadcast that night also broadcast the content of SouXin.com.

Many curious netizens landed on the webpage.

I was immediately attracted by the content.

Many people are thinking, if I could see the news every day, wouldn't I be able to save money on buying newspapers? !

Lu Changhua and Wang Yao looked at the background data.

Just one hour after it went online, the number of logged-in IPs exceeded 1.

Two hours later, the number of people logging in exceeded [-].

The number of registered users in the chat room has increased exponentially.

In the registration column, Lu Changhua added a phone number, and the requirement was to fill in a mobile phone number.

This one excludes those who do not have mobile phones.

It's not that people without mobile phones can't chat, but that the functions he uses are incomplete.

For example, the mobile phone number was not entered when registering.He can only become an ordinary tourist and cannot buy props or give gifts to others.

At the same time, he cannot accept gifts from others.

Chatting in chat rooms is still possible.

For a while, the chat room was overcrowded.

When you stay in the chat room for 10 minutes, a message will pop up to remind you that you can buy gifts for your loved ones.

On that day, more than 1000 chat rooms were created.

At least 4 people chatted in the chat room.

When you click the button to send gifts, you will be prompted, for example, please register your mobile phone number, for example, please purchase a point card.

When the point card purchase button is pressed, the nearest point card purchase point will pop up.

Now it just shows "The point card purchase point is recruiting, please stay tuned."

If you press the click card investment button, a dialog box will pop up.

You can leave a message directly and someone will contact you.

People who were aware of business opportunities immediately left messages.

Someone left a phone number, someone left an address.

The people in the investment promotion department of Dianka pay special attention to this information.

Soon they arranged for people to contact the people who left the messages.

Point cards are supplied at a [-]% discount.

According to the model of provincial generation and municipal generation, we are following.

[-]% off on behalf of the province, [-]% off on behalf of the city.

Retail sales are based on original price.

Dianka is printed in Beijing.

The passwords for these point cards are automatically generated by the platform system.

A password is then printed on each card.

Paint the password a silvery gray color.

Just peel off the coating and you can see the password.

Consumers input this string of passwords into the recharge port.

Then the system will automatically recognize the amount carried by this string of passwords.

Point cards are divided into four levels: 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan and 50 yuan.

Different amounts of passwords are different.

In mid-October, the first batch of point cards were released across the country.

The total amount is worth 100 million yuan.

Lu Changhua bought a 50 yuan point card and sent it to the top-up port of his account.

There is 50 yuan in the account.

Check them out one by one in the gift bar.

There are no less than thirty kinds of reasons, including those with a dime, some with two yuan, and some with five or ten yuan.

This is now a very luxury.

He bought ten flowers and gave them to Wang Yao who was far away in Beining.

The two are in the same chat room.

As soon as he sent it off, flowers started to rain in the chat room.

What floated across the screen was a sentence.

"Wow~ The general of the Hussars of the Northern Kingdom gave Chun Hua Qiu Yue ten flowers, and the favorability between you two increased by ten points."

Opposite Wang Yao saw her husband giving her flowers, she was not to be outdone and quickly gave him a pair of sunglasses.

"Wow~ Chunhua Qiuyue gave the Northern Cavalry General a pair of sunglasses! The favorability between you two will increase by ten points."

"Ding dong, the two of you have become friends~"

Lu Changhua's avatar quickly put on sunglasses, making him look even more chic and elegant.

This kind of demonstration and driving effect soon spread in various chat rooms.

Many people ran to buy point cards, both curious to try and unwilling to be outdone.

And showing off in front of imaginary beauties.

Anyway, whatever the reason.

The 100 million point cards were sold out within a week.

The sellers of various location cards asked for goods again, and the amount was no longer 100 million, but 800 million.

Lu Changhua dived into the chat room and found that there were still many problems.

For example, people in a chat room want to read the news to kill time while waiting for someone or chatting.

There is isolation between available chat rooms and news.If you want to watch the news, you have to exit the chat room, and if you want to chat, you have to leave the news channel.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get through and watch the news while chatting? !

It's like chatting with friends in a cafe and reading the newspaper at the same time.

This opinion gave people in the technical department a headache.

Lu Changhua proposed the concept of floating windows.

As long as you click on the news, there will be buttons for other channels at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the chat room, the floating window of the chat room will pop up.

After clicking to enter, the news bar will become a floating window.

The size of the floating window can be set by yourself.

This way you can do several things at the same time.

So what if you click to enter the email system at this time?
The same floating window appears.

This way you don’t have to go back to the homepage to find it.

Lu Changhua stayed in the capital for several months.

It’s getting cold in the capital now, and it’s snowing heavily in the Northeast.

But this still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for chat rooms.

Even Wang Lu, who was far abroad, contacted her sister through the chat room.

If one person thinks of using it like this, there will be hundreds of followers.

Those who study and work abroad learn that they no longer need to make international long distance calls to talk to their families.

For a time, the number of visits to Souxin.com skyrocketed.

After improving Soxin.com, his floating window works very well.

But another problem came.

It is impossible for many people to stay on Soxin.com all day long.

People need jobs.

If the website is still hanging at work, the boss will not be happy either.

In addition, people who are very good at chatting in chat rooms always want to get rid of outsiders and talk alone.

This gave Lu Changhua the idea of ​​making a separate small software.

That is, the transformed little penguin from the future.

As long as the customer installs this small software, the friends in the chat room will automatically be in his friend column.

They can chat alone.

At the same time, if you want to enter the chat room, just click and you will be entered.

The point cards you make in the chat room can also be used here, and the point cards you make here can also be used in the chat room.

At the same time, through this small search message, photos and documents can also be transferred to each other.

Writing this software is not difficult, the idea is the most important.

At this time, most organizations or individuals use 64K dial-up to access the Internet.

All telephone lines are used.

The pictures at this time are very small and the resolution is not high.

Transferring files is very slow.

Some file transfers take several hours or even longer.

Wang Lu also knew about this situation, and she proposed an idea of ​​a resume function.

Due to the limitations of domestic network conditions, many files will be broken halfway through.

If there is a resume function, after disconnection, you can connect again and continue transmission, which will be much more convenient.

The solution is the transfer station.

A transfers files to B.

On the surface, it seems that A is directly transmitted to B, but it is not.

A transmits to the server of the system first, and then the server sends it to B.

In the meantime, if there is a wire, the server stores the file fragments.

After reconnecting, A continues to upload the remaining part, and then the server sends it to B.

Her idea was an eye-opener for people in the technical department.

This resume technology was quickly programmed.

After actual verification, the effect is very good.

Not only is the transmission speed much faster, it also saves a lot of trouble.

In the months after Souxin.com was launched, it has continuously revised and updated a lot of content.

This made many netizens recognize the attitude of Soxin.com.

Not only if, Soxin.com also put forward a slogan, Soxin is the Internet.

This makes many companies who consider themselves Internet pioneers very dissatisfied.

Yinghaiwei is one of them.

In fact, they also have a website.

However, their focus is not on the content of the website.

It's about Internet access.

For example, companies or individuals who access the Internet through Yinghaiwei must use Yinghaiwei's browser and port software, otherwise they will not be able to access the Internet.

No matter what browser you use, you can log in to Souxin.com.

At this time, what China’s Internet lacks is content and form.

Soxin.com provides exactly these.

The important thing is that his monetization model is not the advertising model of other companies, but is monetized in entertainment.

Chat room props mini-game, with concentrated gifts added every month.

Gifts not only look good, they also increase your level.

As soon as a high-level person enters the chat room, a message will pop up on the screen saying that a big brother or sister of a certain level has come in. Everyone is welcome.

This fully satisfies the vanity of these people.

For example, if he is equipped with a horse, it means "Big brother of so-and-so level, riding what kind of horse, entered the chat room."

An animation of someone riding a horse and galloping will also appear on the screen, and everyone in the chat room will be envious.

Of course, the animation of driving cars and sports cars is more cool and attractive.

Let me ask you, do you want to be so popular and attract people?
Needless to say?
Who doesn't want to be awesome?

Coupled with the vanity of some female netizens, they bragged and flattered male netizens for a while.

The netizens at the moment are still very immature, how can they stand up to such flattery, and buying higher-level props has become their goal.

As for Lu Changhua, he and Wang Yao had already run out of money at this time.

In just a few months since it was launched, the website’s monetization through point cards has reached more than [-] million.
