Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, regardless of the ends of the earth and the corners of the earth, the arms of thousands of miles in China..."

The gala lasted for 4 and a half hours. In the singing of Grandma Li, accompanied by the heat wave of red envelopes and complaints about the content, another year of Spring Festival gala ended.

"Unforgettable Tonight" was born in the Spring Festival Gala in 1984. At that time, there was controversy within the program group, saying that the song was written unhealthily and soft like mourning.

In the words of those days, it was called "the sound of waste".

However, the chief director was very persistent and kept "Unforgettable Tonight", and it has been sung for 40 years.

In the small hall of the Oakland villa.

On the table were leftover dumplings, steak, half a can of Laoganma, and half-drunk red wine.

Yinyin rubbed her sore arm and complained, "You guys are unreliable. I only paid 8 yuan and 60 cents after shaking for a long time. You also claim to be international, bah! Discriminate against overseas friends."

"Before the Spring Festival Gala, the number of Weichat payment users was 30 million, and I don't know how many new people have signed up. This is a probability... Wow, it's dawn!"

Yao Yuan looked outside, it was early morning, the sky was shining on the garden downstairs, and there seemed to be a thin morning mist.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Not very sleepy, how about you?"

"I'm fine too, go out for a stroll later?"

"Well, wash the dishes first!"

The two cleaned up the table, got busy, and went out for a walk hand in hand. Yao Yuan looked back, sure enough, Xiao Mo was like a ghost again, following behind without anyone noticing.

"I think there is still a dog missing. You see that the neighbors are walking their dogs early in the morning, and we only have Xiao Mo."

"Forget about the dog. Who will take care of it when I return to China? Actually, I regret buying this house a little bit. We can only live in it a few times a year, so just rent it." Yinyin said.

"Buy everything, don't talk about this..."

Yao Yuan held her hand, paused, and said: "I don't have any important things to do in person in the future, and I will have more time than before. When I have a child, our family of three will often go out to play.

Each country buys a set of houses, lives one by one, and sells them after living for a few years. "

"Huh? Why sell it?"

"Westerners don't talk about martial arts. If you don't live in the house for a long time, maybe you can buy it for 0 yuan, which is not illegal. We have to find a good and safe place for the two of us to live in."

Yao Yuan was really thinking about where to live in seclusion after retirement.

Build a small farm, a big yard, plant flowers and grass every day, fish and listen to music, huh?

He scratched his head.

I didn't do too badly in my previous life, and I lived such a comfortable life in middle age, but it happened again in this life? Is the big yard the end of your career?

There is a saying that technology changes life.

In principle, it is correct, but in practical applications, such as red envelopes, such as online shopping, such as takeaway and online car-hailing, have indeed changed people's lifestyles to some extent.

But some people think that these things are "technological categories"?

At best it is a technology product.

Yao Yuan came from later generations, and he knows what the future will look like. In terms of public technology, the technological level of human beings is far below everyone's expectations.

Just like the Google Glass that was so popular in the past few years, or the metaverse that turned against the sky, that's a big deal!

There are mostly bragging elements.

If you really want to understand the phrase "technology changes life", at least the next industrial revolution will do. Therefore, the development path of the 99 Group was clearly imprinted in his mind.

In the future, there will be a short video business, Hugelive's overseas expansion, and Meizu's smart life, and then it will be gone.

If you are interested, maybe you can mix and mix to make a car...

Rebirth is not good at all. He has no vision for the future world. If he is reborn again, can he realize the Nantianmen plan?

It's not black technology.

…………

Yao Yuan and Yin Yin are making villains in New Zealand, and the country is already busy as hell.

The red envelope is undoubtedly a pioneering product. After the New Year’s Eve, the news media reported it extensively, collecting various folk sand sculpture materials, and having fun.

"This year's New Year's Day is a bit special. Many people meet and greet the New Year. Instead of saying Happy New Year, they ask, 'Did you grab the red envelope?'

On the night of New Year's Eve, not only the Spring Festival Gala is lively, but also the New Year's Eve dinner is lively, and it is even more lively to grab red envelopes by shaking your mobile phone. "

"Crowd: It should be this process, it's fun!"

"I think it's just a way of entertainment. Of course, it's even better if you can grab it."

"A friend in China told me there was a red envelope grabbing event. We robbed it for hours, but we didn't get any of them."

"I'm too busy looking at my phone. I don't have time to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Let's keep shaking until the end."

"According to the official data of Weichat, during the four and a half hours of the Spring Festival Gala, the total number of Weichat interactions reached 9 billion, and the amount reached 500 million yuan!

The highest peak occurred between 10:20 and 25, with an average of 500 million phone shakes per minute, and even the Weichat platform froze for a while.

The red envelope shaking during the Spring Festival Gala has also led to the popularity of red envelopes for New Year greetings. Many people bound their bank cards for the first time to send blessings to relatives and friends. The amount is not much, but it is a heart. "

"A young man born in the 90s in Hubei suffered from tenosynovitis due to accidentally snatching red envelopes.

This 24-year-old boy has been crazily grabbing red envelopes and giving out red envelopes in various groups since New Year's Eve. He said: 'I stare at my phone for at least 4 hours a day, poke the screen violently, and after 3 days, I get soft hands. '

And on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the young man felt that his right thumb and index finger were very stiff, unable to bend and move, and his wrist would hurt when he moved it. After a doctor's examination, it was diagnosed as tenosynovitis..."

There is nothing like sending out money at a real price, which can arouse people's rapid pursuit.

From New Year's Eve to the first day of junior high school, to the third and fourth day of junior high school, until going to work after the festival, the enthusiasm for red envelopes faded slightly. But red envelopes will definitely become a part of life in the future, let alone 2014, it will still be popular in 2023.

Send a red envelope in the group, it's all seconds;

Grabbing a monthly pass package is also a joy...

…………

In the 99 headquarters, the first day of work was even more joyous.

The employees of the Weichat business department are so majestic that they walk with heavy feet. Zheng Nanling took the lead and held a celebration banquet on the first day after work, in the cafeteria of the park.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Although it is a cafeteria, the quality of food and drink is no worse than that of a big restaurant.

Since the launch of Weichat, the number of users has exceeded 500 million, but the first is not profitable, and the second is to undertake the important task of developing the mobile payment market, 1 to 2, to kill Ali and Tencent.

Therefore, the employees were under a lot of pressure, and finally fought a good battle this time.

The emotions are released, and the scene is a little bit free, and there are also bottle throws. Zheng Nanling is a reliable person, first put down a screen, and then took the microphone and said: "Quiet, quiet!"

"Boss Yao will come over with a video later."

"This is a new technology developed by our Weichat - video calls. Your actions affect your own assessment."

Ga!

There was an instant of silence, and all the drunks were dragged to the cold water to wash their faces.

If you are very satisfied with your salary, your tolerance for the company will also increase, but when your survival pressure is high, even if your salary is poor, your tolerance will also be high.

These are two extremes.

The employees of the 99 Group are of course the former.

After a few minutes, Zheng Nanling manipulated it himself. As soon as the screen lit up, it froze for a moment, and then the screen of Yao Yuan appeared.

Yao Yuan didn't show the big houses and beautiful scenery of New Zealand. He simply sat on a sofa and dressed very formally. The first sentence was:

"Although I don't know the exact data yet, I'm proud of you, you have completed a beautiful snipe!"

"Wow!"

"Wow, boom!"

Yao Yuan did not interrupt everyone's cheers, he was also very happy, waited for a few seconds, and said: "You have not only opened up the payment market, but also affected people's way of life, in 10, 20, 30 years , when people recall the history of the Internet, the 2014 Spring Festival Gala red envelope is destined to be remembered in the annals of history!"

"So, Brother Nanling..."

He turned his gaze to Zheng Nanling and said with a smile, "Can you tell me the final result now?"

"Ahem!"

Zheng Nanling cleared his throat and said, "From New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the number of users who have opened Weichat payment has reached 90 million, and the total number has reached 120 million!"

(besides……)
