rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 209 Meeting Hannah again

If you say 123, many people may not be able to react.

But if you say "hao123", many people who surf the Internet probably know something about it.

After all, this thing is the homepage of the browser used by many domestic computer users.

Especially in the early Internet cafes, almost every Internet cafe used this browser home page.

Even if it is not hao123, it is the same type of website home.

Yes, this thing is actually a web navigation for browsing websites.

The original intention of designing this website is actually to facilitate those who cannot remember the URL.

The early development of the Internet in China was actually more elitist.

For ordinary people who do not understand computer technology, the impact of the Internet and computers on life is actually very limited.

In addition, the cost of using computers and Internet cafes to access the Internet is very high, so ordinary people’s understanding of the Internet is actually very limited.

However, with the development of the domestic Internet, especially later, Internet cafes sprouted up like bamboo shoots across the country.

The Internet at that time was more entertainment-oriented.

But here comes the problem. For people who don’t understand the Internet, surfing the Internet is actually a very troublesome thing.

The most straightforward problem is that I can’t remember the website address!

When Chinese people call web pages, they habitually use the website name.

But the URL of the website is not in Chinese.

You must enter the corresponding URL to open the website you need.

Therefore, on early Internet cafe computers, network administrators would specially build commonly used desktop icons.

Such as music, such as games.

But this is still very troublesome, after all, there are very few options.

So hao123 was born.

It is said that hao123 in the previous life was created by an Internet cafe administrator named Li Xingping from Guangdong Province. It is also said that Li Xingping was the installer of the Computer City at the time.

Chen Li couldn't remember what it was specifically. He only remembered two things.

First~ This Li Xingping is said to have only a junior high school education. hao123 is a web page that this guy created after several months of self-study.

Secondly, hao123 was finally acquired by Qiandu Search. The purchase price was 50 million in cash plus a portion of Qiandu’s shares.

Chen Li didn't know the number of shares, but since it was an acquisition, it was definitely not hundreds or thousands of shares.

Thinking about the market value of Qiandu later, it is estimated that the value of this part of the stock alone will not be lower than that 50 million.

Of course, that's assuming that person didn't sell Qiandu's shares.

Whether it's 50 million in cash or Qiandu's stock, Chen Li wants it all.

So~Li Xingping~I’m sorry!

The biggest reason why Chen Li chose hao123 is that compared with other Internet industries, this thing is almost cost-free.

Compared with those Internet products that often cost hundreds, hundreds or even tens of millions, the biggest advantage of hao123 is that its operating costs are extremely low.

And as long as the early development stage is passed, Chen Li will soon be able to create profits.

When Li Xingping sold hao123 in his previous life, this website directory could already generate six-digit income for him every month. This is the reason why Li Xingping is not very good at operation and promotion.

However, perhaps it is Li Xingping's incompetence that allows hao123 to maintain its absolute leading position in the competition with other peers.

Therefore, Chen Li did not intend to use this website to make money for himself. He just let nature take its course, tried his best to promote it, waited for the time to mature, and then sold the website.

At that time, the stocks will be retained and the cash will be invested.

If you want to be safer, just buy all of Tencent's shares.

When Bitcoin takes off again ten years later, Chen Li will basically not have to worry about money in his life.

"Suck~"

Chen Li sucked in the saliva that was about to drip down, with a "silly" expression on his face.

Seeing this, Song Xiaolan next to her quietly moved closer to Huang Biao, trying to stay as far away from Chen Li as possible.

On the other hand, Aunt Song on the side, Chen Li, looked at this expression and smiled.

"Eh? Hi~Chen!"

Just when Chen Li was thinking about the future with a pig-like expression, suddenly a strange-sounding voice made him stop imagining.

"Hmm? Hannah?"

Chen Li looked outside the store and found that the person calling him was actually the German beauty he had met at the beginning of school.

All in all, he hadn't seen this blonde beauty for more than a month.

Even though Yanjing University of Foreign Studies is not a big place, it doesn’t have many students.

But it is actually relatively normal for thousands of people to be put on a campus and not be able to meet them.

Of course, this is mainly because Chen Li basically does not eat at school and does not spend most of his free time in school, so the possibility of meeting him is even smaller.

"Chen~ You're here to buy fried chicken too, right?"

When Hannah said this, she used Chinese.

But it is definitely not standard, and may even sound misleading.

Chen Li sometimes wonders about a question: When foreigners hear Chinese people speak a foreign language, do they become as distorted as when Chinese people hear foreigners speak Chinese?

However, it is difficult to find a standard answer to this question.

After all, Chen Li is not a foreigner, so he cannot make comparisons. And foreigners are not Chinese, so they cannot give an answer.

"No, this store... belongs to me."

Since Hannah spoke Chinese, Chen Li returned in Chinese.

Then it was awkward! Because Hannah didn’t understand.

"Chen~ you should speak to me in English or German. My Chinese is very poor."

Hannah switched to English. She still remembered that Chen Li said last time that his German level was average.

"Uh~ okay!"

"I mean I opened this store."

Unlike last time when the conversation was in English, Chen Li spoke in German with extremely standard pronunciation this time.

"oh!"

"Is this your store? Cool!"

"And your German pronunciation is very standard, which is also cool!"

"By the way, let me introduce to you my friend, Vivian. She is from England and is also a student in our school."

"Vivian~ This is Chen, he can speak German and English."

Hannah pulled a girl next to her, but because the cabinet was blocking it, Chen Li couldn't see clearly.

Chen Li walked out of the fried chicken restaurant and found a foreign girl standing next to Hannah.

He has a slender figure and is at least 1.7 meters tall. His facial features are quite delicate, but he has some small freckles on his face.

However, this small flaw cannot cover up the girl's superb appearance. This girl makes Chen Li feel amazing.

If in the previous life, Chen Li had such an exotic beauty under his command, bah bah~ I was thinking wrong.

"Ahem~Hello~Vivian!"

Chen Li took the initiative to say hello, but Vivian opposite seemed a little shy, but still answered Chen Li.

"Hello~Chen!"

"Um?"

But it was okay if Vivian didn't speak, but Chen Li felt something was wrong when she opened her mouth.

There was no way that when he was chatting with a bunch of Ultraman in the system space, he used an orthodox London accent.

At this moment, Vivian's English was a little weird.

"Liverpudlian?"

Chen Li asked tentatively. Fortunately, his English has now been promoted to intermediate level.

Intermediate English has begun to develop into dialects of various regions of English.

"Yeah? How did you know? I am indeed from Liverpool. How could you guess that I am from Liverpool? That's great."

Following Chen Li's question, Wei Weiai, who was opposite him, became excited for a moment. Then, a lot of gibberish English pronunciations came out.

However, Chen Li only heard a general outline.

There is no way~ He has been focusing all his energy on German recently. Although his English has advanced to the intermediate level, Chen Li has not continued to study at all.

He had only heard Ultraman mention in the system space before that the Liverpool dialect and English were like two languages.

Sure enough~ Vivian was so excited that she directly answered his long list in Liverpool dialect. As a result, Chen Li heard "Liverpool" and "Awesome".

"Uh~ Sorry, I didn't understand very well."

"I had a friend before who was also from Liverpool, so I think your accent is a bit familiar. However, you know, the pronunciation of Liverpool is still a bit difficult for us."

Chen Li quickly tried to make something out of nothing. He first reminded the other party that he didn't understand, and then gave an explanation.

"Oh~ Okay! But your English pronunciation does look like the London accent."

Vivian was a little disappointed. After she came to China, she encountered a lot of trouble because of her accent.

Fortunately, Hannah helped her, so at this moment, Vivian subconsciously held Hannah's hand.

Vivian looks a little shy! It’s actually quite normal for such a shy foreign girl!

In the eyes of Chinese people, Western girls are enthusiastic, cheerful and even open-minded.

But in fact, no matter which country or region, there are people with various personalities.

Some are enthusiastic, some are cold, some are cheerful, and some are autistic.

Vivian seems a little shy, but this is just a normal personality. This has something to do with the environment in which she grew up and other factors, and has nothing to do with nationality or region.

"Thank you~ Your words are a compliment to me!"

Chen Li nodded and then looked at Hannah.

"Are you here to buy fried chicken?"

"Yes~! I heard from my classmates that the fried chicken here tastes good, so I brought Vivian here to try it. She has just arrived in China and is not so used to Chinese food!"

Hannah turned to look at the menu of the fried chicken restaurant, and then swallowed.

"I take it you want to eat it yourself?"

Chen Li couldn't tell that this was Hannah's excuse for himself, so he exposed the other party's lies with a smile.

You have to communicate like this with foreigners. This is what Ultraman taught him.

"No~! Okay~ I do miss the food from my hometown!"

"But there are very few restaurants in China that serve German food, so..."

Hannah tried to explain, but she was immediately knocked back to her original shape by Chen Li.

"Hannah. This is a fried chicken shop, not a roast pork knuckle shop, nor a sausage seller, nor a German-style fried chicken, so..."

"It's good, it's good~ I just want to try it! My classmates said that the fried chicken in this store is delicious, so I came over to try it."

Hannah gave Chen Li a roll of her eyes, then pointed at the fried chicken steak and said.

"I want a chicken fried steak."

Hannah spoke German, so Huang Biao and Song Xiaolan naturally couldn't understand her.

Chen Li understood, but he didn't order the food as Hannah said.

"Get them two set meals and charge them to my account."

After finishing speaking, Chen Li looked at Hannah and Vivian and spoke in English.

"I'm going to treat you to this meal, please don't refuse!"

"This store belongs to me. If you think the taste is good, come and take care of the business more in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hannah jumped for joy.

"Yeah~ Chen, you are a generous person!"

"No problem~ I'll bring my father over next time and let him buy more of your food."

"Your father? Is he also in Yanjing?"

Chen Li had met Hannah twice before, so he didn't really know Hannah that well.

"Right? Don't you know?"

"You should have taken my father's class?"

"Eh~oh! I don't think I told you that my father is your German foreign teacher."

Uh~ Chen Li's mind flashed through the foreign teacher who was 1.9 meters tall and had an unbelievably strong physique. Then he looked at Hannah, who was probably just over 1.6 meters tall and quite petite. There was no connection at all.

Come together!

"Uh~ Okay! You don't believe it just like them, right?"

Hannah saw Chen Li's stunned expression and obviously realized something, so she said with a depressed look.

"But Ben~ is indeed my father, but I probably inherited my mother's genes."

Finally, Hannah spread her hands and expressed her helplessness.

"Ahem~ That's not true. I still believe you, but I'm just surprised."

To be honest, from a genetic point of view, it was indeed difficult for Chen Li to connect the little Hannah in front of him with the strong foreign teacher who looked like a bear.

But everyone has said so, what else can Chen Li do?

"Thank you for your trust, but forget it!"

Hannah spread her hands again, expressing her helplessness and then prepared to show the proverb she had just learned.

"My father and I are like that Chinese proverb. Uh~ By the way, it seems so."

"I picked it up in the trash."

Chen Li was stunned when he heard this. What kind of proverb is this?

Lao Yun, take a rest and stay up all night coding. You can read it again when you wake up tomorrow morning.
