Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2394 Internet Cafe
Facing Wang Xiaoya, Duan Yun began to talk freely, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

Duan Yun suddenly felt that this interview was a good opportunity. He could use this CCTV interview to popularize the importance of technological development to the people of the country. Should not be ignored.

In fact, this is also related to the current domestic atmosphere. After more than ten years of reform and opening up, people's consciousness has begun to "focus on money and value", and everything takes economic development and earning money as the primary goal. This phenomenon is also normal. Yes, after all, after experiencing a long period of poverty and backwardness, Chinese people's yearning for a superior life is getting higher and higher.

In the consciousness of the Chinese people, only by doing business and starting a business in the sea can they have a chance to make a fortune and make a lot of money. For this, Duan Yun also gave intellectuals another choice, that is, they can enter high-tech companies like them without starting a business. It is also possible to become a millionaire, multi-millionaire or even a billionaire, which is undoubtedly very attractive to domestic technical elites.

"...Our aim is to eat as much rice as you have ability. We provide a platform to prove your own value. As for how successful you can be, it depends on your own potential." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "In addition to money and income, we can also provide more valuable returns here. It has always been the internal culture of our company to allow those true technological elites to gain both fame and fortune."

"I was really moved after listening to Mr. Duan's words. One of them I agree with you very much, that is, a country should not only focus on the economy, but also pay attention to the development of science and technology. From this point of view, your company is It should be the best in China, right?" Wang Xiaoya asked with a smile.

"I don't dare to be the best. In fact, it's just that we have developed for a longer time and have a larger scale. There are also many excellent technology companies in China. Although their scale is not as large as ours, they are still doing very well. Because of them, Only the domestic science and technology industry has an excellent competitive environment, so that we dare not stop a step, from this point of view, they are the catalyst for the development of our company." Duan Yun said.

"Today's interview time is coming soon, Mr. Duan, do you want to say something to the audience in front of the TV at the end?" Wang Xiaoya said.

"What I want to say is still the same sentence, science and technology can rejuvenate the country, and science and technology can also strengthen the country. I hope that our contemporary youth can be more engaged in the scientific research industry, so that we can realize the great rejuvenation of the nation. This is also the desire I have pursued throughout my life. " Duan Yun said.

These words are relatively official. If it were said by other people, many people might sneer at them, but it seems very natural to say it from Duan Yun, because he has always been a very patriotic private technology entrepreneur. , and over the years, he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the country. Whether it is the chip industry, the automobile industry or the software industry, Tianyin is the strongest in the country.

Another point is that Duan Yun has a certain power of public opinion, and the group company has been promoting him, so any technological breakthrough of the group company can be known to the people of the country, which also makes him a lot of fans in China and supporters.

After the recording of the interview, Duan Yun also invited Wang Xiaoya and other CCTV staff to have dinner together that night. During the dinner, there was a lot of chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Duan Yun has great respect for media reporters, especially CCTV's very influential reporters and hosts in China, because in this era, the Internet is not developed enough, and the propaganda ability of TV stations is still very strong. Creating a strong public opinion in a short period of time can even affect the formulation of some national policies, so from this point of view, Duan Yun attaches great importance to cooperating with them.

At the end of the banquet, Duan Yun also gave each of these CCTV staff a "small gift", which was the MP3 player they were selling in the United States.

Rare things are expensive. Although MP3 players are already on the market in the United States, in China, because the cost is too high, few Chinese people can afford it. Therefore, Duan Yun plans to put it on the domestic market before the end of the year, and the domestic market is currently There is no MP3 player, which means that the CCTV workers who participated in the dinner became the first domestic users of Tianyin MP3 player.

The reason why Duan Yun has not released MP3 players in China is because of the price on the one hand, and on the other hand, he actually wants to test the waters in the international market, because any product needs to be continuously upgraded and improved before it can be sold. It has become a stable and mature product, so before the product quality and durability reach a certain level, Duan Yun dare not put it into the domestic market easily, because once there is a problem, it will easily affect the Tianyin Group for more than 10 years. Come to establish a good reputation in the domestic electronic market.

After the CCTV interview, Duan Yun accepted interviews from several other media, including BJ TV and other local media. In these interviews, Duan Yun emphasized the importance of technology to a country.

During the last few days in BJ, Duan Yun and Ruixue had a few more private dates, and went to the Kowloon Playground at Ming Tombs Reservoir together.

This period of time is very precious to both of them, because now both of them are well-known figures, and they are both at the peak of each other's careers. Their work schedules are full, and it is not a good time to be able to spare time for dating. easy thing.

During this period, the two also went to BJ's Internet cafe together.

At the end of the 90s, Internet cafes had begun to appear in mainland China.

In 1996, China’s first Internet cafe appeared in Shanghai, which was called “3C+T Coffee Leisure Internet Cafe”. This Internet cafe was equipped with 50 computers above MMX200, and there were also special private rooms. Let’s talk about it today. , maybe even if it allows everyone to surf the Internet for free, many people would dismiss such an Internet cafe, but in the era when pork only cost 2 yuan a catty, the Internet cafe’s Internet fee was 20 yuan an hour, so at that time People who can afford Internet cafes are really rich.

Moreover, the first Internet cafe that appeared in China was not for people to play games online, but for people to watch the operation of the waiter and learn how to surf the Internet while drinking coffee. It can be said that this Internet cafe is for the upper class However, what is surprising is that the business of this Internet cafe was very hot back then, and it was full of customers every day.

Nowadays, there are more and more Internet cafes in BJ. As of August this year, there are more than 8 Internet cafes in BJ, and almost all of them are full.
