"correct."
When Jimmy was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Our deep space bbs already provides the MUD function, and you can log in with the method. You can go shopping when you have nothing to do... Do you want me to get you a computer?"
Make the network better?"
"I'll ask Jiang Jie to help me do it. How many users are registered in Deep Space bbs now?"
"I saw fifty-eight yesterday. They are basically employees of our company, as well as their relatives and friends. But I believe there will be many people soon."
"Okay, I understand. I will also register an account later and go up and play. By the way -"
Yu Dong also suddenly remembered something, that is instant messaging software.
He rarely thought about these things before, but recently Jimmy cooperated with Ingram and swallowed Amazon, which also made his mind active.
"Can we make an instant messaging software?"
"instant message applications?"
"It is a software that allows people to communicate quickly on the Internet."
"Oh, you said this, it already exists in the United States, and it seems to be developing well."
"Yes?" Yu Dong said in surprise, "So fast?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't you mention this kind of software in "Second World"? They should have been inspired by the novel. However, the gap between the software they designed and the functions you described is still very big.
Much less... And there is more than one such thing. I know of three. One of them is developing better, but the other two are not good at all. The main reason is that there are still fewer Internet users. I estimate that it will be better in another year or two.
a lot of."
"..."
Yu Dong felt that this thing did not match his memory.
Instant messaging software should not have appeared so early, and it should have developed rapidly as soon as it appeared. It will not be like Jimmy said, but the development is not bad.
From this point of view, it is really "Second World" that has had an impact on history.
Mainly because Yu Dong himself didn't know much about this aspect and thought the technology was quite difficult. He didn't expect that someone could figure it out after it was mentioned a little bit in the novel.
"However, we can try to make one in China. I looked at those software and they are all in English, and there is no other language market." Jimmy said.
"Is it difficult?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "It's not technically difficult. I personally think that this thing mainly depends on the operation and function selection. Users will choose whoever makes it easy to use. I feel that the three software ideas I saw are all wrong.
, they like to pile on some inexplicable functions and lose the original meaning of this type of software."
"Since you have a different idea, why not get one in the United States?" Yu Dong asked.
"We don't have the energy anymore. The main reason is that we need to fight with those software in the United States. Our current multi-line combat capability is not enough. It is better to focus on China. Here we can slowly deploy. Wait until later, others
If we want to enter again, we have the ability to protect the plate. At that time, we not only had the advantage of entering the market first, but also our fighting ability became stronger. I am confident that even if any software from the United States stands out later, it will not be able to do it under our noses.
Enter the Chinese market below.”
"Of course, many people now look down on the Chinese market." Jimmy added.
Yu Dong nodded. This is also the difference between Jimmy and Jimmy. He has been in China for more than ten years and understands China's development potential better than most Chinese people.
…
Not long after Jimmy left, Yu Dong went to Hu Changqing's office.
Seeing Yu Dong, Hu Changqing smiled and teased, "How come you, a newlywed, have time to come to my place?"
Hu Changqing's office is decorated like a garden, with flowers and plants from all seasons. Sometimes he will send some of the flowers and plants he grows to other offices.
For example, in the large office where Yu Dong is located, there are several pots of gardenias and spider plants given by Hu Changqing.
Yu Dong also made fun of Hu Changqing before, saying that the teacher is a gardener, but he is the real gardener.
Sitting down between two pots of small pine trees, Yu Dong smiled and said, "I'm here to share some good news with you."
"What good news? Has the copyright of one of my novels been sold?" Hu Changqing became excited when he heard it was good news.
"Secretary Hu, could you please stop thinking about selling copyrights every day?"
Hu Changqing shook his head and sighed, "I don't think so. I recently heard that IBM has released a laptop that can support multimedia processing. I'm a little excited. I don't know the specific price, but it must be very expensive. Without selling some copyrights, I can't afford it."
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, Lao Hu was spending money faster than him.
If it weren't for getting married, Yu Dong would spend a little money on nothing except buying books and getting some four treasures of the study. Oh, he also bought a Steinway for his wife last time, which cost a little money.
"The copyright has not been sold, but the news I am telling you this time is also related to computers. Deep Space has set up a forum, and you can go surfing there when you have nothing to do."
"Surfing?"
"Just go online."
"Don't tell me, this word is quite vivid. I have never heard anyone say it before. How many people are there on this forum?"
"It's not that many people. When you go there, there will be more people."
"I'm going, there's just one more person."
"You are the famous science fiction writer Fushui. When you show up, are you afraid that no one will come by?"
"Just leave me alone. I'm more interested in hardware than the Internet... We can talk about surfing when we have time."
"Okay, anyway, I have informed you." Yu Dong clapped his legs and stood up, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask Jiang Jie."
Jiang Jie is now not only Yu Dong's assistant, but also has the job of contacting other writers in Jinyi. Therefore, in addition to Yu Dong, Yu Hua and others also come to Jiang Jie when they have something to do.
After leaving Hu Changqing's office, Yu Dong returned to his apartment. Cheng Yanqiu had classes this morning, so the heavy responsibility of cooking fell on Yu Dong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The couple agreed that if anyone has time, they will come back to cook, and if they don’t have time, they will go to the cafeteria to eat.
Usually, Yu Dong has more time because he has very few classes. Unlike Cheng Yanqiu, who now teaches both vocal music and piano, he is very busy all day long.
As soon as Yu Dong finished washing the rice, the phone rang. He wiped his hands and ran over to answer the phone, and the teacher Hu Yueming's voice came over.
"I was also thinking that you might not be at home. When I called you before, no one answered the first time."
"I'm not at home every day. Teacher, if you can't get through on the landline, just call me on my mobile phone."
"That thing has a two-way charge. It's not cost-effective. It's not an urgent matter that can't wait. I'm calling you this time to tell you something. President Wu Shuqing of Yanda University asked me for your number. I'll give it to him in a moment.
Before he does it, let me tell you what he wants from you."
"Well, tell me, teacher." Yu Dong was a little surprised. Why is Yan University looking for him?
"Didn't Baodao hold some kind of trilateral literary exchange meeting at the beginning of the year? Yanda University is also interested in holding a cross-strait Chinese literature symposium. Wu Shuqing came to you just for this matter."
"What kind of symposium is suitable for me to attend?"
The reason why Yu Dong asked this was because he was a writer outside the system. The last time Wang Meng called him to tell him about proposing that he join the Writers' Association, it had not happened yet.
Not only was he nowhere to be seen, Wang Meng had also called Yu Hua before, but the message was also unavailable and he didn’t know what the specific situation was.
As a writer outside the system under the age of thirty, he should not be considered for such forums.
"Who is suitable if you are not suitable? And Yu Hua may be invited this time. You have made quite a stir in the past two years, and they cannot ignore it."
"Who else is participating specifically?"
"I don't understand this. When Wu Shuqing calls you, you can ask him. Why, do you still want to see the dishes?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "No, just out of curiosity."
"Okay, I just want to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared. You don't need to think too much about anything else."
"okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong ran back to cook until Cheng Yanqiu went to class in the afternoon, but did not receive a call from Wu Shuqing.
However, Yu Dongdao has nothing urgent to do. During this period, he is planning to finish the novel he had not finished before and spend more time at home.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the phone rang.
"Hello, are you Yu Dong?"
"Yes, I am Yu Dong, hello."
"Hello Yu Dong, I'm Wu Shuqing, the president of Yan University. I'm taking the liberty to call you. I won't disturb you."
"No, no, I happen to be at home."
"It's like this." Wu Shuqing said with a smile, "Yanda is planning to hold a cross-strait Chinese literature exchange meeting. At that time, some writers from the mainland and Taiwan will be invited to exchange ideas. The time will be probably November. I wonder if you have any
there is no time?"
"November... Principal Wu, I can't say for sure now, because I'm really busy recently."
Wu Shuqing on the other end of the phone was stunned. It seemed that the reputation of their school, Yan University, was not very useful here in Yudong.
He thought for a moment and then said, "This time we also invited Mr. Wang Zengqi."
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned Wang Zengqi, Yu Dong became interested, "Mr. Wang, are you going too?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang also went to the trilateral literary exchange meeting on Baodao at the beginning of the year."
Yu Dong thought for a while and asked, "Who are the people on Baodao?"
"The ones coming from Treasure Island are Lin Qingxuan, Long Yingti and a few others."
Dragon Yingmo?
Yu Dong frowned, he didn't like this person very much.
Yu Dong was originally very interested when he heard that Mr. Wang was going, but when he heard the name Long Yingtai, his interest suddenly disappeared.
After pondering for a while, Yu Dong smiled and replied, "Principal Wu, I still can't give you an answer now. If you don't mind, how about I wait until the specific time comes out and see if I have time?"
Wu Shuqing narrowed his eyes. Although Yu Dong said it very politely, it could be heard that he didn't want to come.
When he heard that Wang Zengqi was going, Yu Dong was obviously very interested, but when he learned that it was Long Yingti and Lin Qingxuan who were invited, Yu Dong's attitude changed.
Does Yu Dong have a problem with one of them, or does he dislike seeing both of them?
This shouldn't be the case. Yu Dong has only been out for a few years, and I haven't heard of him having any quarrels with any writers.
If I have to talk about it, there was news about the Jinyi Gang and the Shaanxi Army that had been in trouble for a while, but Yu Dong didn't come forward to say anything that time. It was all written in the newspapers.
Wu Shuqing thought about it for a moment, then asked his doubts, "Yu Dong, is there something inappropriate about the writer we invited this time?"
"No, Principal Wu, don't worry too much. I'm just busy in November and may not be able to make it there."
Yu Dong is not a person who hides things, but it is difficult to explain this kind of thing to Wu Shuqing.
Long Yingtao is still a good baby, always caring about the country and the people, and loving the motherland deeply, and the fox tail has not yet been exposed.
When Yu Dong said this, Wu Shuqing had no choice but to respond, "Okay, I'll contact you later."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong sat on the sofa and meditated.
Long Yingtai is probably not very well-known in the mainland now. It will probably take a few years, after mainland publishing houses published several of her books, that readers in the mainland will gradually get to know her.
Thinking of this, Yu Dong felt that he had become a little emotional just now. Why didn't he go when Long Yingti went?
People like this should be faced by themselves.
If these people can still prosper and become opinion leaders of young people in the future, then what is the point of coming back?
So how can the cultural renaissance he wants be accomplished?
Why are literati being demonized? Isn’t it because of these people?
Maybe in the future, when something happens to "Long Yingtao and the others", other literati will also take the blame. He, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu... these ordinary people who have nothing to do to write articles, why should they take the blame for these people?
Where is the pot?
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Yu Dong picked up the phone again and called Wu Shuqing back.
When Yu Dong said that he agreed to participate in the cross-strait Chinese literary exchange meeting, Wu Shuqing was a little surprised, "Yu Dong, can I ask you why you changed your mind so quickly? Your teacher Hu Yueming and I are also old friends. We were together before.
I have chatted with you many times, and I know your personality to some extent. So before you declined... I said you should agree to decline. When I heard you declined, I was still surprised. Now that you have agreed again, I
Even more surprised."
"The main thing is that I still want to see Mr. Wang." Yu Dong couldn't say much and could only use Mr. Wang as an excuse. But this was not a lie. He really wanted to see Mr. Wang.
I have always had this plan before, but I never found the opportunity.
Wu Shuqing didn't believe what Yu Dong said, but he didn't ask any more questions. Who didn't have something they couldn't tell?
All in all the result is good.
Although Yu Dong is not a writer within the establishment, his influence in the past two years has been so strong that his name cannot escape the book market, both at home and abroad.
A few days ago, when Wu Shuqing heard that Yu Dong's "To the West" had sold more than one million copies, he was shocked. This was more than one million genuine books.
It was previously rumored that Jia Pingwa's "The Wasted City" sold more than 10 million copies, but most of them were pirated books, and the reason why "The Wasted City" sold so many copies was related to the sexual descriptions in it.
Wu Shuqing dares to assert that at least 90% of the people who bought "The Wasted City" did not do it for literature.
Of course, there should be many readers who bought "Xiangxi" not because of this book, but because of Yu Dong.
Yu Dong's reader base is so good, Wu Shuqing believes that even if Yu Dong writes a piece of shit now, there will probably be a large number of readers willing to pay for it.
Under this circumstance, Wu Shuqing certainly hoped that Yu Dong could come to the symposium.
"Also, Yu Dong, can you give me Yu Hua's contact information? I would also like to invite him to this symposium."
"Of course, but he is not at home right now and has gone out to play football."
Chen Hong is not at home either, she probably took Hai Guo out to play.
"Then why don't you tell him?"
"Okay, I'll tell him and ask him to call you back tomorrow."
"That would be troublesome."
"You're welcome, Principal Wu."
…
After Yu Hua came back in the evening, Yu Dong told him about the symposium.
His first reaction was the same as Yu Dong's.
"What kind of symposium would it be inappropriate for me to go to?"
Chapter completed!
