Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 41 [No.044] From Flying Pigeon to Yimeier
Xie Wenjun finally knocked on old man Zhou again, but he didn't mention that it was old man Zhou who came to be slaughtered on his own initiative, or the beef restaurant last time, but the mood of the two eating was completely different from last time, Xie Wenjun He didn't order any more meat, but also ordered a few vegetarian dishes to go with it. Old man Zhou was beaming and asked for a bottle of beer.

The little girl who ordered the dishes had a good memory. As soon as the father and father came, they said, "Grandpa, I brought your lovely grandson to the restaurant again."

Old man Zhou also joked with her: "How about it, my grandson is cute."

"So cute!"

Xie Wenjun blushed for a while, Jiang was still old and spicy, but he was teased by the old man, hum!
Old man Zhou asked Xie Wenjun for two things today. One is that Teacher Qin told other teachers about the collective purchase of spring outing snacks in Class 100. The other teachers went to the class to ask, and many students supported him. The "[-] Convenience" of "relatives" became the snack supplier for the spring outing of No. [-] Middle School, and the classes willing to participate in group buying snacks were counted quickly, and "relatives" Liu Hua came to the school to collect payment and supply.

Xie Wenjun didn't expect that one of his impromptu ideas would lead to a deal for "100 Convenience". He was very happy and said, "No problem, principal. I'll call my relative later, let him come in the afternoon." Go to school and talk face to face."

"Then trouble your relatives." Old man Zhou said politely.

It would be nice to have this kind of "trouble" every day, Xie Wenjun smiled and said: "It's okay, no trouble, by the way, you said you still have something to do with me, what's the matter?"

"By the way, I saw a piece of news a while ago, saying that our country was allowed to join the Internet. I found a lot of information and checked it out. I generally understand that if the Internet can be set up on a large scale, people's communication Communication is very convenient, so I asked a lot of people, including many university professors, if they know what the Internet is, haha, no one knows, they all said Internet! What Internet? How many years have I stopped fishing? Why don’t you use the Internet?” Old Man Zhou asked doubtfully, “How do you know this kind of thing?”

"Uh... relative, I have a relative in the United States. I heard from him that the Internet is already very popular in the United States. The technology in the United States is relatively advanced, so I think the Internet will gradually become popular in China." Xie Wenjun Another fictional "relative" was fabricated.

This kid has so many relatives, and they are all big names. Old man Zhou believed what Xie Wenjun said, and asked, "Then did any of your relatives tell you how long the Internet in the United States has been?"

Xie Wenjun smiled and said: "Hehe, what the hell, the national conditions of the two countries are different, and the speed of development of new things is also different. According to my guess, the Internet in our country will definitely be a household name in less than ten years, and work and life are almost separated from each other. Don't open it."

Old man Zhou stared and said disdainfully, "Why do you say that?"

"I guess...I analyzed it." Xie Wenjun boasted that he was less and less drafting.

"Hehe," Old Man Zhou was amused, "Then let me hear your analysis."

Old man Zhou’s desire for knowledge is not inferior to young people. Wow, Xie Wenjun thought for a while and said: “After you have checked so much information, you should understand that the main function of the Internet is information dissemination. Take the exchange of information as an example. In order to meet the needs of the society, I thought of setting off beacon fires. Later, there were letters sent by flying pigeons, ordinary letters, and then there were telegrams and telephones. Now there are BP machines and mobile phones. Communication problems that can be solved by a letter , why do you still need a phone? It’s because letters are always flawed, there are deficiencies, and the speed is slow. Isn’t the phone more convenient and faster than letters, and if you use the Internet, it’s faster and the cost is lower, so you want to Ah, good things will definitely be accepted by people, and of course the development will be very fast.”

The old man Zhou also put forward his own ideas, saying: "As far as I know, if two people want to communicate through the Internet, both of them must use the Internet. It is not enough for only one person. It is like a telephone. If you have it and I don't , we also can’t achieve the purpose of communication, and there is a telephone, which is not affordable for everyone, and the price is also a big problem, so I feel that no matter how good the network is, it also has limitations. Like you said, it is a household name. Possibly, but working and living without it may be a bit difficult to achieve.”

"That's why it takes time, principal, have you read any books on economics?"

Xie Wenjun's sudden topic change confuses the highly concentrated old man Zhou: "Look... read some, what's wrong?"

Xie Wenjun smiled and said, "I've seen some too, do you know the marginal cost?"

Shouldn't a brat be reading comic books at this age? How can he even read economics books? What a freak!Principal Zhou nodded: "Generally understand."

Now that we understand it, it is easy to explain. Xie Wenjun said: "If the Internet becomes market-oriented and Linxi is used by only one person, then the telecommunications department must also specially equip a set of equipment and a line. Assuming that the cost is 1 yuan, then this person needs The minimum cost of using the network should not be less than [-]. When two people use it, it can still be placed on that set of equipment and lines. Then the cost per person will only need [-]. When more and more people use it, The cost is getting lower and lower.”

Old man Zhou pondered for a long time before saying, "Why do I feel like I can't tell you."

Xie Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hehe, this is not an exaggeration, but I am obviously convincing people with reason, and...it's not what I want to say, but you want to get to the bottom of it."

Old man Zhou blew his beard and stared: "Go to the bottom of what, if you don't understand, of course you will understand it."

Xie Wenjun nodded: "Then you don't want to set up an Internet research department now, do you?"

"That's not right, the time is not yet ripe, and there are no talents in this field, but you have to do something first, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with others. I want to build a computer room in the school now. Do you think the students will be interested?"

The old man Zhou was really thoughtful and active in his thinking. Xie Wenjun was very "gratified" and said excitedly: "Okay, of course there will be students who are interested, and some talents can be cultivated from it. It seems that Linxi City does not have that middle school yet. There is a computer room, and our No. [-] Middle School will have it soon, you are so cool!"

cool?Xie Wenjun's fashionable flattery made old man Zhou very happy, and said, "But it may have to wait until the next semester. Now the school funds are not enough. A computer costs more than 1 yuan, which is not a small sum."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, you can get a discount if you buy more," Xie Wenjun thought for a while, "Actually, I..."

Old man Zhou interrupted Xie Wenjun with a wave of his hand, and said with a half-smile, "Don't tell me that there is another relative who sells computers."

"Uh..." Xie Wenjun really wanted to introduce the person in charge of sales in the Linxi Office of BJ High-Tech Company to old man Zhou, but when old man Zhou said this, he thought about it and let it go. He couldn't get any benefits, so he changed his mouth and said, "No, actually I want to say that I am also more interested in computers, hehe, then I can play computer games for free."

"Whoever says you can play games," old man Zhou joked, "Whoever dares to play games in the school's computer room in the future will be... a big mistake."

"Haha, just kidding, I never play games..."
