Dreams of the Fragrant River

The Internet began in the United States in 1969, also known as the Internet. At first it was only used for computer connections between colleges and universities. Later, some companies and laboratories also joined it, and the scale of the network gradually expanded.

By 1992, the first companies to provide customers with online web services, such as e-mail, brought the Internet into the mass era.

China has been exploring the Internet since 1987, and in April this year, it has fully connected to the Internet, becoming the 77th member of the international Internet family. In Hong Kong, it was relatively early. Some large companies were connected to the Internet last year. For example, several major companies under Kang Jianfei, middle and senior employees can use the Internet to send e-mails.

For young people in Hong Kong, this is a very fashionable thing, and some people even pay high prices to send emails just to experience that kind of high-tech communication.

Don't think that Chen Baixiang is just an entertainer. This guy used to run a garment factory and made millions by doing business. At that time, it was still in the 1970s, and the annual box office champion of Hong Kong films was only 3 million.

Chen Baixiang has the courage to try new things. Recently, he has been eyeing the Internet. He has also teamed up with Anita Mui, Tan Yonglin and others to create a celebrity information website.

Five years after its establishment, this website has developed into an Oriental Charm Company, and has attracted big stars such as Cheng Long to join it. The Oriental Charm Company has changed hands many times, and later it was divided into two parts, which developed into the famous Star Beauty International and Han Media Group respectively.

Hearing that Kang Jianfei suddenly asked about the website, Chen Boxiang was a little embarrassed.

Nowadays, there are very few ordinary Internet users. Chen Boxiang's Oriental Charm.com is called a star information website, but it is impossible to make money by sending gossip information about star news. To be precise, this website is actually a celebrity intermediary platform. Some companies can contact Chen Baixiang through the website and let him act as an intermediary to invite celebrities to attend business events.

To put it bluntly, it is the direct contact between the merchants and the stars, bypassing the Oriental Entertainment brokerage company for private work.

This is simply digging the corner of Kang Jianfei. Now that he is caught by the master, Chen Boxiang is like a thief who has appeared. He said with a blushing old face: "Mr. Kang, I didn't expect you to be interested in the Internet. Well, I'm just playing small. It's just trouble, I'll close the website when I go back."

As Chen Baixiang said, this is really a small fight. The business of the website is just to invite celebrities to cut the ribbon and participate in the reception. The real big list, even if Chen Boxiang is ten courageous, he would not dare to pick it up randomly.

Kang Jianfei asked someone to investigate, and of course he knew the situation. He smiled and asked, "Is the Internet fun?"

"It's fun," Chen Boxiang felt relieved when he saw that Kang Jianfei didn't intend to pursue it, and said, "The Internet can not only send e-mails, but also play cards, play chess and play games. There is a game called "Night in Winterfell" that is particularly fun. Under the framework of dnd rules. Mr. Kang, do you know dnd?"

"I know, Dungeons and Dragons." Kang Jianfei had only heard the name, so he knew it roughly, but he didn't understand the specific details.

Chen Boxiang had the joy of meeting fellow people. He said, "I didn't expect you to play dnd games, Mr. Kang. I asked friends to play with them, and they never even heard of it."

At this moment, the gong suddenly started in the arena, and more than ten horses rushed out of the gate.

Chen Baixiang's attention was attracted by the horse racing. The emperor's demeanor under his name was relatively backward at the beginning, and suddenly he ran wildly in the middle.

"Come on, hurry up, hurry up!"

"The emperor's demeanor, hurry up, hurry up, you will catch up!"

"Rush rush rush!!!"

Chen Baixiang's whole person was already crazy, he stood up and waved his fists and shouted loudly, blushing and thick neck, full of gambler appearance.

In the last ten meters, the royal style suddenly accelerated and surpassed to become the top horse. Just when Chen Baixiang thought he was going to win the championship, the horse who was in third place suddenly sprinted to catch up like he had taken medicine.

The two horses reached the finish line at the same time, and the countless audience members who participated in the horse betting were dumbfounded.

In the end, it was discovered through the slow-motion camera that the horse No. 8 was a little faster than the emperor's demeanor, and took the lead in crossing the line to win the championship, and Chen Boxiang's horse only won the second place.

"Ugh!"

Chen Boxiang sighed, both happy and disappointed. Disappointment is naturally that his horse failed to win the championship, but happy is that the emperor's demeanor will definitely be promoted.

Kang Jianfei bought the emperor's style and won, and the 100,000 yuan was directly lost. He didn't care about it, betting on horses was just for fun, and he didn't talk about business until the end of the race: "Ale, sell me your Oriental Charm.com."

"What?" Chen Boxiang thought he had heard it wrong.

Kang Jianfei repeated: "I said, sell me your Oriental Charm. I bid 2 million."

"Okay." Chen Boxiang agreed without thinking.

He started the website on a whim. There are too few Internet users these days to make money. Even if you rely on the website to pick up private work for celebrities, you can't break even with that little money, and you have to lose at least 200,000 a month. It's better if someone is willing to take over.

Whether it is now or 20 years later, most websites are losing money. There are only two ways to make money: one is to make money by listing; the other is to find someone to take over.

Although Kang Jianfei didn't know much about the history of Internet development~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he knew that this thing had to be ahead. As long as he survived the past few years and cultivated his loyal users, he would definitely become awesome in the future.

In fact, the first wave of the Internet bubble will start next year, and it will reach its peak in 2000. Countless local tyrants poured money into it, and then the bubble burst with a bang.

Kang Jianfei's initial idea was to build his own portal.

Now that Chen Boxiang's Oriental Charm Network has a foundation, he can simply acquire it directly. The initial content of the website can be divided into four parts -

One is business information. It is very, very important that commercial users are the main customers of the website today.

The second is news. Including international news and local news, the content of this section can cooperate with "Ming Pao" and "Daily Daily".

The third is the literature section. All kinds of novels, poems, essays, and famous works can be found, and you can buy a lot of electronic rights for a little money, because today's writers don't take the Internet seriously.

Fourth, entertainment information. All kinds of information, gossip, and even daily photos of artists can be posted online, which is very attractive to ordinary users. After all, the current information dissemination can only rely on traditional media.

Fifth is the bbs forum. In the early days of the Internet, it was a big killer for accumulating popularity, and young people played super crazy.

Of course, Hong Kong's Internet market is still very small and must rely on the United States and the mainland. Kang Jianfei intends to go to these two places at the latest next year to make a hypothetical website. The Oriental Charm.com in Hong Kong is equivalent to training troops, striving to cultivate some website talents, and then cooperate with universities in the United States and China to develop websites.

Of course, you can also open an Internet cafe to play. If history remains the same, it will be another two or three months before the world's first Internet cafe will appear in the UK. (To be continued.)
