I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 18 Building a Website

Early the next morning, Lin Xiao made an appointment with Wang Zhi to go to the Internet cafe.

Internet cafes really became popular across the country this year. There is only one Internet cafe in Xingsu County. It is in the center of the county. On the way to the county, Lin Xiao began to talk about his plans with Wang Zhi.

"Dazhi, I'm going to build a website."

"Make a website?"

Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Wang Zhi felt a little dazed. He had only just learned how to surf the Internet. To him, doing a website seemed centuries away.

"Yes!" Lin Xiao stopped and replied firmly.

"Dazhi, do you still remember the popular "Digital Survival" two years ago? More and more reports believe that the future world will be a world of bits and the world of the Internet. Look at how popular Internet cafes are now."

Wang Zhi nodded. He knows this book, and he also knows how popular Internet cafes are now.

However, he still didn't quite understand.

"But, does this have anything to do with us? We just finished the college entrance examination and we still have to go to college."

For most high school graduates in small inland counties like Wang Zhi, there is not much difference between going to university and going to high school in their concept.

Well, it's not like there's no difference, after all, I'm out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Lin Xiao in his previous life undoubtedly thought the same way, so he understood Wang Zhi's thoughts at the moment.

So he put it another way and said: "Dazhi, aren't you also planning to study computer science? As a practice, I want to make a website, and you say you can help me?"

"Okay, I'll do it!" Sure enough, when Lin Xiao said this, even though he still didn't quite understand what was going on, Wang Zhi still agreed.

However, after only a few seconds, he said awkwardly: "But, we won't."

"If you don't know how to learn, start with the simplest things." Lin Xiao plans to enter the Internet, and as for technology, he is limited to making some simple websites.

That being the case, Lin Xiao decided to do what he knows, starting from the simple.

"The website I want to make is called Internet navigation, or website navigation. As for the specific content and long-term arrangements, I won't tell you for now. After you participate for a while, I will talk to you slowly. chat."

"The first step we have to do now is to go to an Internet cafe and write down the websites that everyone surfs on."

The choice of online navigation was decided by Lin Xiao after some deliberation, and the technology in this field is not advanced.

I happen to know a little bit of web page creation, so it doesn’t matter if I forget to learn it again. After all, there is no competition in this field for the time being, so I can learn and start it with peace of mind.

Moreover, although Internet navigation is simple, once it is promoted and used properly, it can become an artifact to control the traffic entrance.

Its value far exceeds people's imagination now. The acquisition of hao123 in the previous life by Baidu is a good example.

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." Wang Zhi readily agreed, without asking Lin Xiao why he chose to navigate the Internet, or why he wanted to memorize the website.

He didn't understand anyway.

After Wang Zhi was persuaded, Lin Xiao and the two went straight to the Internet cafe.

Feiyang Internet Cafe is the first and only Internet cafe in Xingsu County, and it is full every day.Using a pack of cigarettes to successfully handle the network management, Lin Xiao jumped in line to get a machine.

Of course, the pack of cigarettes was given because the two of them kept remembering other people's online websites in the Internet cafe. Maybe someone would complain or something.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao told Wang Zhi to wander around the Internet cafe to see what websites everyone was using.

Taking advantage of this time, I came to a machine and turned it on, and started another important thing in the Internet cafe today, registering a domain name.

However, he was not in a hurry to register a domain name for Internet navigation, but directly entered www.china.com, which is not good enough.

"Not registered?"

When she saw that this top-level domain name hadn't been registered yet, Lin Xiao was secretly delighted.

Many very good domain names in later generations have not been registered yet. After all, in China, the Internet has just started for about three years, even in the United States, it is not that long.

Things like QQ.com and taobao.com are obviously very valuable, but for Lin Xiao, he only has one goal today.

www.china.com!
There is no doubt that this domain name is one of the top for Huaxia.

This domain name later belonged to China.com, because Lin Xiao was very familiar with it after working on this website for about a year.

Although China.com was established relatively early, it only belongs to the second echelon among domestic portal websites, and it cannot be compared with Sina, Netease, and Sohu at all.

However, relying on the top-level domain name www.china.com as the address and relying on the China.com concept of China, in July 1999, it became China's first Internet company listed on NASDAQ in the United States.

Under the packaging of Wall Street, CDC became popular as soon as it landed on NASDAQ. Not only was the issue price of US$20 higher than planned, but its stock price rose steadily afterwards.

In November 1999, after the news of China's accession to the WTO came out, CDC even created a myth of US$11 per share and a market value of US$300 billion.

However, just as many people in later generations do not know the history of CDC, many people do not know that this domain name was actually bought by CDC for 20 yuan in order to better package it and go public.

Lin Xiao even inquired about the registration time of this domain name at that time. In his impression, it was in 1998, but he had forgotten the exact time.

So just now Lin Xiao was just testing the input, and he was delighted that the domain name was still there.

That being the case, of course the domain name was registered without hesitation.

With this top-level domain name, maybe it can catch the train listed on China.com?It's not impossible if done right.

No matter how bad it is, it is good to sell hundreds of thousands.

At the same time that Lin Xiao registered the domain name, Wang Zhi successively wrote down the addresses of the Internet sites in the Internet cafe and took them over.

After completing the domain name registration, Lin Xiao opened these websites and wrote down the main content of the websites in detail. He even made some simple notes from the perspective of future generations.

After Wang Zhi came and said that no new websites were found, Lin Xiao simply classified the URLs he wrote down into categories, clicked on them, and found that only a dozen or so websites were collected on the first day.

Considering that people in a small county can access the Internet, the types of websites they can log on to are still limited. Lin Xiao began to search for websites on the Internet according to the classification. He first searched for some websites with the most visits.

Then, Lin Xiao instructed Wang Zhi how to go to some popular forums to find websites.

Obviously, this matter could not be completed in a day or two, so Lin Xiao and Wang Zhi spent almost every day in the Internet cafe during the following period.

For convenience, Lin Xiao bought a motorcycle for 8000 yuan.

However, the new car was given to Lin Aijun, and he himself rode on Lin Jun's old motorcycle. After all, the Internet cafe was a mess, and he parked the new motorcycle there every day, and Lin Xiao felt that he was not so embarrassing.
