Lin Zhuoyun no longer goes to class. She usually reviews manuscripts at Mengya magazine. After reviewing the manuscripts, she reads and studies by herself. She occasionally writes poetry and prose.

The graduate thesis has been completed long ago and is being revised for the second time. We will have to defend it in another month.

Late spring, afternoon.

Just after watching a movie, Song Weiyang held Lin Zhuoyun's little hand and the two strolled on the streets of Xujiahui. Song Weiyang asked with a smile: "Are you planning to continue your doctoral degree?"

"It's interesting to work in a magazine if you don't read it anymore," said Lin Zhuoyun.

Song Weiyang said: "If you are really interested in literature, you can try to build a literary website. It's pretty good under the banyan tree."

"I know under the banyan tree, and I also sent an email to submit a manuscript. Do you know the webmaster under the banyan tree?" Lin Zhuoyun asked.

Song Weiyang said: "I don't know, but I can know."

Lin Zhuoyun smiled and said, "I spent money to invest again? As far as I know, the webmaster under the banyan tree is not short of money."

"How do you know he is not short of money?" Song Weiyang asked.

"I've talked to him," said Lin Zhuoyun. "I sent a few articles and all of them were published under the banyan tree. This website cannot directly post articles, but can only be linked through the website's email. Every time the webmaster is very serious, and after posting my articles online, he has to reply to me specifically. Once, he specifically pointed out that I had typos, and he helped me correct them and told me not to mind. I thought this person was quite interesting, so I chatted with him by email and found out that he was the boss of an advertising company."

"Male or female?" Song Weiyang said.

Lin Zhuoyun smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"

"How is that possible?" Song Weiyang refused to admit it.

The founder of the Banyan Tree is William Zhu, a Chinese American. He grew up in California and did not return to China to start a business in 1994.

At the beginning, under the Banyan Tree, it was just a personal web page of William Zhu. Because he loved literature, he wrote an article and posted it on his website. Later, he got an email link for the website, and netizens could send emails, and he accepted any interesting articles.

In this way, without publicity or advertising, the traffic under the banyan tree has increased year by year, and by this year there have been 100,000 visits per day.

As for a simple literary website, the number of visits was too amazing in 1999 and it was inevitably targeted by some venture capital companies. But William Zhu did not accept financing at all. This was just his personal hobby, and he didn't even invite a content editor. He did the daily maintenance of the website himself.

This person is really not short of money. Once he went on a business trip to London. In order to ensure the content of the website is updated, he actually made a long-distance international return to Shenghai dial-up from the UK. After a busy night of reviewing and publishing, he spent 7,000 pounds on the phone and internet fees, which was equivalent to 100,000 yuan at that time.

Local tycoon!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "When you talk next time, you will ask him if he wants to make the website bigger and let more literary lovers communicate with each other."

"Okay, but I guess he won't agree." Lin Zhuoyun said.

While the two were walking and chatting, Hong Weiguo was following several meters away. Shen Si was drinking Coke nearby, while summing up the news for Song Weiyang and arranging the itinerary.

Before she finished drinking a cup of Coke, Shen Si received a long distance across the ocean. She said in fluent English: "Well, okay... I know, I will tell the boss. As for whether to go to the United States, the boss needs to decide... Well, okay, after the arrangement is made, I will notify your company."

Hang up the phone, trotted away from KFC in contemplation, chased Song Weiyang and said, "Boss, Google in the United States calls and decided to carry out the second round of financing next month. The two founders of Google need your support. Please go to the United States in person. They have a lot of differences with the venture capital company."

Song Weiyang said: "Tell them that I will pass by at the end of the month."

"Okay." Meditating began to flip through the schedule, she wanted to arrange a reasonable time.

Google has developed rapidly this year. With Song Weiyang's suggestions, they found a profit model in advance. The pioneering custom search advertising model has brought Google's revenue to US$12 million last year, which is extremely dazzling in the Internet industry where losses are generally lost.

Not only Wall Street venture capital companies flocked to it, but even Amazon was tempted, bidding $200 million to acquire 40% of Google's shares - Amazon is crazy and rich. It acquired two companies within a month last year, spending nearly $300 million. This year, it continues to wield money to make acquisitions.

The US Internet bubble has not only not burst, but is still continuing to expand. Wall Street's valuation of Google is nearly 600 million US dollars, which is seven or eight times more than in the same period in history!

Do you think it's outrageous?

There is an online grocery delivery company in the United States called webvan. Its revenue just exceeded US$10 million last year and has now been valued at Wall Street for 1.5 billion. In another half a year, the company's iPo went public and its valuation quickly grew to US$8 billion!

At this time, there is a newly established Pets company, which will be listed next year, less than a year from registration to listing. The reason why venture capital companies are optimistic is that when this website is promoting, its socks and dolls are refreshing, so they invest in various ways, hoping to make a fuss while online stocks are in full swing.

Standing on the wind, even pigs can fly, not to mention that Google is a one-stop one.

After strolling around Xujiahui, Song Weiyang said, "Go home, Doudou is about to finish school."

"boom!"

A loud noise came from a distance, and the ground was slight vibration, which scared the pedestrians on the street to their slightest confusion.

Lin Zhuoyun pulled her boyfriend's sleeve and said blankly: "Is there an earthquake?"

"It's not an earthquake, it's an explosion." Song Weiyang turned around and looked to the southwest. He had already remembered what was going on. Today in his previous life, he was working as a civil servant in Shenghai.

A plane crash occurred near Hongqiao Airport!

It was a Korean cargo plane that took off from Hongqiao Airport. When the air traffic control commanded the plane to climb to an altitude of 1,500 meters, the plane suddenly interrupted its radio contact. The plane that should have continued to climb began to dive for no reason and fell directly onto a construction site in Shenghai.

Three Korean crew members died on the spot, five Shenghai residents at the scene died, 42 were injured, and nearly a thousand other houses were damaged. The plane hit the ground, with an intensity equivalent to a magnitude 1.6 earthquake, and the source of the earthquake was on the ground, which could be felt in half of Shenghai.

At this time, Sino-US relations were tense. After the crash, Western public opinion actually spread rumors that the Korean plane was shot down by the Chinese army!

The Chinese and South Korean football teams investigated for two years and finally confirmed that the cause of the crash was that the Korean pilot misread the altimeter...

Song Weiyang returned to the car with a ugly face. He remembered another thing, the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia was about to be bombed. It would be useless to know. Who believes it now? Everyone will only regard him as a lunatic.
Chapter completed!
