Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

On the morning of April Fool's Day, Internet users in the United States turned on their computers and saw news about "Meta" on their familiar portals.

There are also more or less pages in newspapers in core cities such as California, New York, and Washington.

Meta and Metaverse, the concepts of the metaverse, are rapidly spreading.

In the future, after Spielberg shoots "Ready Player One", people may have a clearer understanding of the concept of the Metaverse, but it does not prevent people who are exposed to this concept now from thinking it is cool.

Concepts are concepts, the focus is still on the free full-featured anti-virus software, Huorong.

Last year, the name Huorong was very popular in the American League.

But there was no follow-up, so it disappeared.

Now, Huo Rong is back with a vengeance and even brings powerful free antivirus software.

This makes people very interested.

Midland's anti-software market is quite complex. There are quite a few such as Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, Norton, etc., but none of them are free.

Although it is not much per month, the basic version costs an average of US$3, but it is usually paid annually.

But what can I say about these anti-virus software? They are only excellent anti-virus and virus protection software. Unlike Huorong Security, more functions are optimized.

This is very popular.

Especially the very low resource usage is very attractive in the era of insufficient computer performance.

As for the homepage on the browser, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are icons for portals such as Yihu and Midland Online. It's not too troublesome to click on them.

365 navigation is indeed very convenient, it integrates the hottest news, and you can also leave comments!

This is so friendly to the American League people!

As a newspaper editor wrote in the title: Everyone has a channel to speak!

Compared with the popularity of these two products, Meta and WeChat have not yet launched their efforts and still need time to brew.

Meta Company is very busy, and Cheryl is constantly accepting reports from her subordinates, making decisions in the shortest possible time, and then signing for implementation.

Everyone seemed to be busy, but full of joy and excitement - they were witnessing the rise of a social empire.

As the founder, Wang Zheng is still lying in bed at the moment.

I was a little tired last night.

When Catherine pushed the door open and entered the room, she saw Wang Zheng alone with his strong chest exposed, half lying on the bed and reading a newspaper.

He immediately smiled evilly and said: "Boss, did you have a great time last night?"

I'll thank you on horseback!

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes at her, this girl put a small box of small umbrellas in his pocket last night, three in total!

Fortunately, I am young.

"Catherine, I want to find a suitable sheet metal manufacturer, the kind that makes network cabinets."

He is planning to start manufacturing modular computer rooms. This belongs to the metal processing industry, and it is actually more convenient to import it from China.

However, Wang Zheng's purpose is more about reputation, significantly reducing energy consumption and providing a large number of job opportunities, which are all good ways to improve reputation.

Catherine thought for a while and said: "Boss, I don't know much about this industry. Maybe we can find Paul from Heidrick and Struggles."

Paul was the consultant who recommended Catherine.

Wang Zheng put down the newspaper curiously: "Heidrick & Struggles still has this service?"

"Boss, this is Midland. As long as you have money, you can get any service."

Catherine said it matter of course, and then handed Wang Zheng his clothes at his signal: "For example, the secretary can also dress you."

Wang Zheng smiled and refused, but still put on his clothes. Catherine did not shy away and even wanted to help.

"Then give him a call and ask."

Catherine went to call, but Paul was still upset about losing the big deal for the position of MetaCEO. He felt that he should also recommend a beautiful executive.

So when Catherine called and asked about Wang Zheng's request, Paul was very active.

They do not have intermediary services to cooperate with, but they know who is working in this industry and how they are doing.

Soon, through Paul's help, Catherine got a number.

Called and made an appointment, everything went very smoothly.

"Boss, we've already made an appointment. The person is in Burbank, Los Angeles. If we leave now, we can get there before noon."

Wang Zheng was very satisfied with the assistant's work. He drank the coffee in the cup and said, "Let's go."

It is about 600 kilometers from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles. Although there is a direct highway, you will definitely not choose to drive if you have a plane.

There are many flights from San Francisco to Burbank and it takes less than an hour.

Before Catherine boarded the plane, she also rented a car for easy travel after arriving in Burbank.

From this point of view, Midland is indeed more developed. The service industry is pervasive and will try every means to empty your pockets.

Wang Zheng, who still had more than one million US dollars in his pocket, did not panic at all.

It only took 40 minutes to fly from San Francisco to Burbank. Wang Zheng had no intention of stopping in the city and asked Catherine to drive directly to the manufacturing plant.

Burbank is a satellite city of Los Angeles, mainly residential and industrial parks.

But it is known as the media capital of the world, and Disney’s headquarters is here. There are also many well-known media companies such as Warner, Viacom, NBC, etc., which have branches here.

The film industry and entertainment industry are very developed here, attracting many tourists.

At 11 a.m., Wang Zheng and Catherine arrived at the entrance of the Alcott Metal Processing Factory.

Because they had been contacted by phone in advance, the person introduced by Paul was already waiting for them at the door.

The other party was a black man, about thirty years old, who was very enthusiastic: "My name is Benjamin Osborne, the director of the factory here. Welcome to Alcott."

"Justin Phil." After shaking hands with the other party, Benjamin took Wang Zheng and Catherine to the office.

Benjamin asked: "Mr. Phil, our factory is very well-equipped and can manufacture cabinets from 0.5 mm to 3 mm."

"What we need to manufacture is network cabinet products. Do you have any processing experience?"

"Of course, we manufacture cabinets, server cases and metal parts for computer cases for Dell and HP. If you need glass for your cabinets, the glass factory next door will also be very convenient."

This is so convenient, just like Heidrick and Struggles did.

Wang Zheng did not bring any drawings today. He planned to inspect them first. So he asked: "Can we visit your factory and observe the quality of the products?"

"No problem at all."

The Olcott processing plant is relatively large in scale and has six production lines, of which only three are currently in operation.

The main products produced are chassis for servers and computers. Wang Zheng checked the products specifically and found that the quality was indeed very good and the yield rate was very high.

There is only one production line for the cabinet part, and the welding, sheet metal and other processes are relatively advanced, so the quality is still very good.

After looking at it, Wang Zheng made a decision in his mind and said to the factory director Benjamin: "My assistant will contact you later. I hope we can reach cooperation."

Benjamin was overjoyed. In fact, he was not responsible for the order, he was only responsible for production.

But Olcott now has excess production capacity and urgently needs orders to start the production line, so if he can reach this deal, he can also get a lot of commission.

Thinking of this, Benjamin patted his chest and said: "Mr. Phil, please rest assured, we at Alcott will definitely be your best partner!"
