Reinventing the Millennium

Hao123 is a well-known Chinese online navigation system in China. Fang Zhuo has used it for a long time, but he can’t remember the reason why he stopped using it.

However, he remembered one very clear news about this website: it was sold to Baidu for tens of millions of cash + partial options a few years later, which caused a sensation.

"What are you looking for?"

Yu Hong watched Fang Zhuo excitedly open a computer and sit down. Because there was no extra machine, she could only stand aside, breathing in the second-hand smoke in the air, feeling a little depressed.

"Looking for the contact information." Fang Zhuo logged in to the registered 7-digit QQ number and scrolled down the web page. "I found it. There is indeed the contact information of the webmaster below."

"I haven't used this on my computer before." Yu Hong looked at the web page and didn't find anything strange.

Fang Zhuo first added the webmaster's Q number, then opened his mailbox to see if there was any reply, and finally said regretfully: "Listed companies are different, they don't reply to emails. Well, this URL is easy to remember, you can go back and try it, it's quite good Nice navigation site.”

Yu Hong remained silent.

After a while, she saw that her boss had not taken any further action, so she couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing now?"

"Wait until the friend on the opposite side passes." Fang Zhuo said matter-of-factly.

"After all, I'm a website developer, so I'm not sure what I'm busy with. It's like running back and forth to start a company. How could it be so fast?" Yu Hong gave a very reasonable analysis.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Penguin's little speaker popped up, and the friend application was approved.

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and seemed to remember correctly.

The founder of Hao123 has appeared in many news pages after the website was acquired. He has a junior high school education and worked as a network administrator in an Internet cafe. It was because he saw the inconvenience of Internet cafe customers having access to the Internet that he founded a website to solve this problem.

Around 2000, Internet fees were not cheap. Only those who have truly experienced wasting time online but not knowing how to find information can understand what netizens need most.

Li Zhiping is such a person. He should be running the website by himself every day now.

"Hello, I'm here to place an advertisement. The website is a registered website. My name is Fang Zhuo. You can call me Xiao Fang. How do you charge here?" Fang Zhuo typed a line.

Then, he typed a second sentence: "What do you call me?"

Li Zhiping on the other end of the network slowly deleted his polite words, looked at the nickname "Oli gave", thought for a moment, and typed: "I am Li Zhiping, the webmaster of 123. Advertising is charged monthly, 300 a month, I can't." It’s illegal content.”

Ollie: Ah! ! So expensive! ! Our registration website is for patients and their families, and we do not charge them any money! ! Make it cheaper! ! ! !

Webmaster Li: Wait, let me take a look at your website. Send me the URL.

Ollie: Yeah.

A few minutes later, Li Zhiping briefly browsed the registration website and found that it was indeed a website for medical registration, but it seemed to only operate in Anhui Province.

He thought for a while and typed a reply.

Webmaster Li: Is your business only in Anhui Province? In this case, I will only add ads in Anhui Province and charge you 200 a month. If you have national business in the future, it will also be the same price.

Ollie: Make it cheaper, webmaster! ! ! !

Li Zhiping looked at the series of exclamation marks and suddenly felt a little inexplicably irritable.

He replied: How much money do you want?

The time was short and the conversation was quick, which showed that the other party was very skilled at typing.

Olly: I'm still a student, how about 20 yuan a month?

Li Zhiping, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned for a moment and typed a line in the dialog box at lightning speed, "You are even a beast today."

Two seconds later, he took a deep breath, deleted the line, and gave a new reply with respect for the medical field.

Webmaster Li: No! ! !

Olli: Let’s do this, webmaster, 1,000 yuan a year. We will pay the full amount at once. Now we will only promote it within Anhui Province. If our business expands to the whole country, we will give you an additional 200 yuan, okay. Not working?

Li Zhiping hesitated for a moment, but before he could reply, another message came from the other side.

Ollie: We will sign a one-time contract for 2 years, which is 2,000 yuan. Send your bank account number and I will find a place to transfer the money to you later. Our website should be ranked as high as possible in Anhui Province, thank you.

Li Zhiping shook his head and typed a reply: Well, since you are a student, it’s not easy. Just 2,000. I won’t lie to you.

This is a problem he often encounters in the advertising business. From time to time, the other party will suspect that he is a liar, and they are afraid that the money will not be fulfilled. After all, the Internet is very close, but the reality is far away, and it is difficult to even sign a contract.

Ollie: Yeah, you won't lie to me. I believe you. Hahaha. Thank you, Webmaster Li.

Li Zhiping sent his bank account information.

He waited habitually but did not get a reply from the other party.

At this moment, Li Zhiping suddenly felt that someone was taking advantage of him. Is the other person really from the registration website?

I didn't verify the identity of the other party, and the other party made a quick decision without any hesitation. This was different from my previous experience.

Is he a liar?

Are you joking for fun?

It’s not like I’ve never met such a boring person.

Li Zhiping re-clicked on the newly added friend, stared at his/her nickname for a while, and murmured to himself:

"What does Ollie mean?"

…

"What does Ollie mean?"

Almost at the same time, Yu Hong asked the same question in the Luzhou Internet cafe.

"Oh, have you ever played the game? The terminology in The King of Fighters." Fang Zhuo said casually.

Yu Hong looked at Fang Zhuo coldly: "You lied to me, that's 'haoyougen'."

Fang Zhuo was shocked: "???"

"I've played it too," Yu Hong said proudly.

"This...why do you play this?" Fang Zhuo was completely puzzled.

"What did my brother pull me to do with the uppercut?" Yu Hong raised her chin and said condescendingly, "So, you just lied to me. What does this mean? Besides, you don't really want to give me money, do you?" It was too hasty and reckless.”

Fang Zhuo said deeply: "Do you know what is the most important thing about being a leader of a company?"

"What?"

Fang Zhuo said proudly: "Zhang Liang strategizes, Xiao He secures the country, Han Xin is invincible. Liu Bang is far from capable in this area, but he has the ability to recognize people. This is the wisdom of leadership."

"I have a pair of sharp eyes. I followed the network cable and saw the loyal face of the other party."

Yu Hong stared at Fang Zhuo's stinky face and asked a question: "Can I hold a board of directors vote? Can I kick the chairman out of the company?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. You don't have enough shares." Fang Zhuo stood up from his seat, "Let's go and get some money. It's only 2,000 yuan in two years. It's really cheap. Hurry up, otherwise the price should be increased." ”

"I think you have been possessed by someone!" Yu Hong objected.

"Believe me, Webmaster Li definitely has the kind of simple business ethics on the Internet." Fang Zhuo commented, and added, "Just like me."

Those who are close to ink are black.

Yu Hong felt that she was about to become stupid, just like this man.

She rode her motorcycle, carrying the idiot, and rushed to the bank.
