For Chinese people in 1998, the Internet was an absolute high consumption behavior. It required 8 yuan for the Internet fee and 4 yuan for the telephone fee per hour. Compared with the national average monthly salary at this time, if you go online for 10 hours a day, you will basically spend all your salary in a week.

At this time, most Internet cafes in China cannot connect to the Internet. At most, they can only play "Warcraft 2" and "Red Alert 2" with the local area network.

Internet cafes that can access the Internet will charge at least 18 yuan per hour!

However, this still cannot stop the charm of the Internet. Many college students save money for a month and go to the Internet cafe for a few hours. The taste is more comfortable than doing big health care.

Sohu.com successfully raised $6 million in financing, and the news that Zhang Chaoyang transformed from a grassroots into a millionaire instantly sparked heated discussions in the whole society. Many people have heard about the Internet for the first time and don’t know what that thing can do, but they talked eloquently when bragging.

Zhang Chaoyang has become an Internet entrepreneurial hero and is regarded as an idol by many young people.

Even Ding Ming was interviewed by many newspapers. Because of his dropout and starting a business, he was hailed by the Good News as the "Chinese version of Bill Gates" by the Good News media.

Song Weiyang's investment in Sohu.com was also talked about by the media. People speculated about how many shares Song Weiyang occupied and how much Song Weiyang's net worth had increased.

At the same time, there are countless young people in China who turn their attention to the Internet. Some are looking for opportunities to make money, but most of them just want to access the Internet, and surfing the Internet has become very high-end and fashionable entertainment projects.

The number of Chinese netizens has increased wildly due to media reports on Sohu.com.

As the number of netizens increases and the number of computers is insufficient, Internet cafes become a profitable business.

A native of Jinsheng named Wang Yuesheng once dreamed of going to college. He took the college entrance examination three times, but did not get an admission letter from any university. During the tutoring period, his only source of income was only 15 egg-laying hens.

So, Wang Yuesheng chose to dig coal, and then borrowed 200 yuan to make cement prefabricated parts, and then secretly sold oil. Until 1992, the government finally allowed private gas stations to operate. At this time, Wang Yuesheng's oil depot had a reserve of 800 tons. By 1997, there were 12 gas stations under his name.

Today, Wang Yuesheng came to Beijing. His original purpose was to recruit several college students from famous universities. But famous schools are famous schools, how could they go to gas stations to work? The directions they choose are: studying abroad, going to foreign or famous enterprises, being civil servants, and entering large state-owned enterprises, and chain gas stations are not considered at all.

Wang Yuesheng, who could not recruit college students from famous universities, actually found a room of college students from famous universities in an Internet cafe in Zhongguancun.

This rich man who failed the college entrance examination three times had inexplicable admiration and yearning for college students, and immediately decided to open an Internet cafe. Since I can't recruit college students from famous universities, let college students from famous universities come to my Internet cafe to surf the Internet!

Feiyu Internet Cafe was born, and opened 5 branches within eight months. This thing is even more profitable than opening a gas station.

The Internet service handled in batches in Internet cafes is much lower than that of individual Internet access. Therefore, the night-to-night fee of Feiyu Internet cafe is priced at 8 yuan per hour (the rest is 20 yuan), which can barely earn some water and electricity bills. This move caused a large number of students in famous schools near Zhongguancun to escape from bed and go online in the middle of the night.

The story similar to Feiyu Internet Cafe is being staged all over the country, and the number of Internet cafes is growing rapidly with the number of netizens.

Shenzhen City.

Brother Xiao Ma was a little excited when he saw the report on Sohu.com. But he didn't know how to make money with the Internet. At the same time, he felt that he was not a business man, so he threw away the newspaper and honestly became the head of the R&D department of his pager business company.

Huadu.

Ding Sanshi just got the 163 free email system, and his business is booming. There are more and more registered users of 163 email - but he still doesn't know how to make money, so he can only continue to write programs to subsidize his household income.

Capital.

A face-blind patient named Dong Ge was wandering on the streets at this time and he was unemployed. But the reason for his unemployment was not because of the financial crisis that caused the company to go bankrupt or because of the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises, but because the Chinese government announced that pyramid schemes were illegal activities.

You should know that at this time, the main force of pyramid schemes in China was not the old man and the grandmother, but the college students of the pride of heaven. They regarded pyramid schemes as the way of heaven, and joined by loans and borrowing money, and were full of entrepreneurial passion.

The pyramid scheme company where Dong Ge is located is a Japanese company with monthly sales of more than 1 billion yuan. He has worked in the company's computer, business and logistics departments. He has just become a supervisor. The company has equipped him with computers and mobile phones. He has a subsidy of several hundred yuan every time he travels on a business trip, and he can also live in a five-star hotel.

As he was about to reach the peak of his life, pyramid schemes were illegal, the boss actually ran away, and Brother Dong was also unemployed!

The young man came to Zhongguancun and looked at the newly opened Internet cafes and the towering Zhongguancun Building. He once again had the idea of ​​starting a business on his own. He lived in a work shed built by farmers nearby, fighting guerrillas and selling pirated CDs in Zhongguancun. His business was quite good, so he rented his house and continued to sell pirated CDs.

The name on this storefront is "JD."

Wang Zhidong, who has gained fame and fortune in history, should have received $6.5 million in venture capital last year. However, because Song Weiyang's "Three-Body Problem" stole many chat room users, Lifang Online's traffic has been lukewarm, and it has not yet gained the favor of international venture capital institutions.

Sina seems to have signs of miscarriage.

Fortunately, Sitong Group is very powerful. Sitongli side received a Hong Kong dollar investment a few years ago, and Wang Zhidong has a lot of funds.

Moreover, the article "Dalian Jinzhou does not believe in tears" still appears on the Lifang Forum. Last October, the Chinese team missed the World Cup, and fans were in pain. The article hit tens of thousands of views within two days, and was published in the full text of "Southern Weekend". The traffic of Lifang Online's forum has been rising.

When Sohu.com received $6 million in financing, Wang Zhidong immediately went to the United States and received $5 million in Wall Street venture capital. Immediately, he contacted the United States Huayuan.com, and the two parties were discussing the merger - after the merger, it was Sina.

East Zhejiang.

Ding Daguo's small hardware business is becoming increasingly difficult to do, mainly because the competitive pressure is too great, and more and more peers are doing this business.

In the past, when I made small hardware, I could sell it no matter how much it was produced, but the production capacity was not enough. Moreover, it was difficult to obtain raw materials in the 1980s. Now raw materials are everywhere, and the production capacity is rising, but the result is that it cannot be sold after production, and there are more and more backlogs of goods in the warehouse.

If this continues, the factory will go bankrupt.

Fortunately, there have been a lot of real estate projects these days, and Ding Daguo has obtained orders for two real estate projects through government relations. If he had not spent a lot of money when he was in the relationship and the price was very low, Ding Daguo's factory would not have to worry about this year.

There was another dinner tonight. A friend invited a local middle-level leader and called Ding Daguo to accompany him. Maybe he could help him win a project.

"Mr. Wei, I'll do it first!" Ding Daguo put his neck on his back and finished drinking.

Director Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, Boss Ding is so friends!"

Ding Daguo's friend smiled and said, "Old Ding has always been friends. I was in trouble seven years ago, and he lent me 50,000 yuan without saying a word, otherwise I would probably still beg for food on the street now."

"That's really loyal. I like to make friends with loyal people. Come and have another drink!" Director Wei smiled.

Ding Daguo said: "It is my honor to be able to make friends with Director Wei. In this way, I will drink three cups and Director Wei will drink one."

Director Wei laughed: "You look down on my alcohol tolerance!"

Ding Daguodao: "Journal of Wei is a big shot, I am a small businessman, and only three cups can show my sincerity."

"Okay, Boss Ding, let's cheer!" Director Wei said happily.

In the 1990s, when making friends to start business and discussing business, it was like who could drink better. If you drink others happily, you would also enjoy helping others to do things.

The alcohol test is not just a joke.

Director Wei is obviously a master of alcohol test. He still has a red face after drinking a pound of white wine. After talking about the gossip in the city, he talked about interesting news from the province, and finally brought the topic to the high-tech industry: "The world is changing rapidly now, traditional business is not easy to do, and only by doing high-tech can you make a lot of money. Do you understand computers?"

The friend shook his head repeatedly: "We are all rough people. After graduating from elementary school, how can we know about computers?"

Ding Daguo smiled and said, "I have a computer at home, which is usually dusty. I only use it when my son comes home during holidays."

Director Wei said proudly: "If you don't understand computers, you won't be able to get the Internet. That is called the Internet Information Highway, just like the real highway, transportation is very fast. The information highway transports information. If something happens in the United States, you can find out by checking the Internet in China!"

Ding Daguo immediately flattered: "Director Wei knows so much, he deserves to be the leader. Come on, I will give you another cup to express my admiration for you!"

Director Wei laughed, drank a glass of wine, and waved his hand and said, "Actually, I am half a bucket of water, but my son knows a lot. Although this kid is only in high school, he is very good at playing computers. The monthly Internet fee at home is several hundred yuan. Last month, the city organized a computer technology competition, and my son won the first prize, and the prize was a pair of roller skates!"

Ding Daguo gave a thumbs up: "The tiger father has no dog son, and the son of the Wei family will definitely be admitted to a prestigious school in the future!"

"Hahaha," Director Wei was particularly proud, "Do you know how my son won the first prize? He typed more than 300 words in a minute, and he also made WPS and computer article layout. None of the other students could beat him."

"Awesome!" Ding Daguo hurriedly supported the show.

Director Wei smiled and his face bloomed: "My son admired two people the most, one was Song Weiyang and the other was Zhang Chaoyang. These two young people are both experts in computers and the Internet, and they earned millions in a minute. The boy from my family also said that he will specialize in computer science in the future when he goes to college, and this industry has a promising future!"

A friend suddenly said: "Great Kingdom, isn't Song Weiyang the college roommate of your son?"

Director Wei said in surprise: "Old Ding's son knows Song Weiyang?"

Ding Daguo smiled and said, "I met you, I also gave Song Weiyang a watch."

"Then you are lucky," Director Wei said, "I heard from my boy that a college roommate from Song Weiyang has stopped reading books, so he will start a company together this time. In two years, a poor student has become a million yuan, and the money-making speed is very high!"

Ding Daguo smiled and said, "I have seen Song Weiyang's college roommates, which one is Director Wei talking about?"

Director Wei scratched his head and said, "It seems that his surname is Ding, what's his name?"

Ding Daguo felt something was wrong and prompted: "Call Ding Ming?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's called Ding Ming," Director Wei suddenly reacted, "My son also admired Ding Ming very much, saying that he dropped out of school and started a business, and that he was the Chinese version of Bill Gates."

"That's my son!" Ding Daguo said depressedly.

Director Wei said: "Lao Ding, you are blessed, your son is very powerful."

"That's amazing," Ding Daguo didn't care about the scene and said furiously, "I'm trying hard to send him to Fudan, but I even dropped out of school to open a company. I don't know if you don't say it! I must kill him!"
