Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 718 Internet Wave

Xiao Zhu'er glanced at Liu Dongqiang in the corner, "Didn't the second son of my third uncle's family pass the National People's Congress? He's a classmate. I met him when I was playing at their school. Their family seems to be quite difficult. I used to work in Zhongguancun I still take him with me from time to time. But this kid is a bit smart, and he has made a lot of money through work-study programs in the past two years."

He Ping nodded, "That's right, we need to make more good friends like this."

Xiao Zhuer couldn't figure out what his father said. He and Liu Dongqiang had a good relationship.

"They are all good buddies, otherwise we wouldn't be able to invite him here today."

He Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Bring your friend over here, and I'll have a drink with him."

Xiao Zhu'er didn't understand why Dad suddenly wanted to drink with Liu Dongqiang, anyway, Dad was a bit of a talker sometimes, so never mind him!
Liu Dongqiang was brought over by Xiao Zhuer, He Ping smiled and said, "Isn't it Xiao Liu?"

"Hi Uncle, I'm Liu Dongqiang, brother Zhu's friend."

Liu Dongqiang introduced himself a little timidly. At this time, Liu Dongqiang did not have the demeanor of a strongman in later generations. He Haizhu pulled him over, saying that he wanted to ask him for a drink, but in the end he pulled him in front of He Ping. Liu Dongqiang suddenly became nervous.

"Hello, don't be nervous. Come on, uncle will toast you first!"

As he spoke, He Ping raised his wine glass, and Liu Dongqiang hastily raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank it down before He Ping could express his opinion.

"Haha, okay, bold, I like this temperament." He Ping patted Liu Dongqiang on the shoulder.

Then he continued to ask: "Actually, I called you here mainly because I heard from Xiao Zhu'er just now that your hometown's economic development is relatively poor. I just want to ask, has our Chunxiao Hope Primary School been built in your place?"

It turned out that he asked himself to come here to ask about this matter. Liu Dongqiang had the answer in his heart, and he admired He Ping even more.

Uncle He is really enthusiastic about public welfare. Hearing that his hometown is poor, the first thing that comes to mind is whether the primary school will be built there, and when will he have the mind to help the world like him!
"It's been built. It was built the year before last, and another one was built last year. Now we have two Hope Primary Schools in Suqian! I went to see them when I went home from vacation. The ones built are the same as the primary schools in the city." Liu Dongqiang said with a smile on his face. said happily.

He Ping nodded, "That's good!"

He said to Liu Dongqiang again: "In the future, if you have any difficulties, tell Xiao Zhu'er. He is a warm-hearted child. Since you are friends, you must speak up if you have any difficulties. Don't be polite, you know?"

He Ping's exhortation made Liu Dongqiang a warm current in his heart. Since he went to college, few people cared about him like Uncle He.

"Okay, Uncle He, thank you."

"Okay, I won't disturb your young people's party."

After speaking, He Ping explained to Xiao Zhu'er and left the restaurant.

Xiao Zhuer came out to see his father off, turned around and saw Liu Dongqiang following behind, looking at his father's buttocks, with longing and admiration on his face.

Got it!
Another little fan who was convinced by his father in a few words, Xiao Zhu'er has long been accustomed to this.

He stepped forward and put his arms around Liu Dongqiang's shoulders, "Okay, don't look at it, there is nothing to envy. You should learn from Xiang Yu to meet Emperor Qin, and he can replace him."

Liu Dongqiang smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, you can really joke. You can say that, I don't dare to expect extravagant expectations in this life."

"Stop talking so useless, go back and drink!"

The two returned to the hotel shoulder to shoulder.

Sitting in the car, He Ping thought deeply.

The appearance of Liu Dongqiang reminded him that it is now 94, the wave of the Internet has gradually begun to rise, and some layouts that have been done before should also be implemented.

Not long after, in August, a promotional poster was put up in New Era's bookstore in Xiangjiang.

"Dangdang.com, a book shopping website under New Era Bookstore, is officially launched, with a 75% discount for all online book purchases!"

After such a promotional poster was posted, it immediately aroused the interest of many readers who came into the store to buy books. Everyone looked carefully at the content of the poster. It turned out that New Era Bookstore launched a website for online purchase of books. Young people who are more accepting of new things can't help but want to try them when they see such new things.

After two months of operation in Xiangjiang, Dangdang generated a total of 18647 transactions in Xiangjiang, with a total revenue of 83.9 yuan.

Since Dangdang.com is relatively primitive, it also adopts the method of door-to-door delivery by clerks and cash on delivery.

Two months was the time for He Ping to experiment with Liang Yuejin. He chose Xiangjiang to do this experiment. On the one hand, Xiangjiang was small and the delivery speed was fast. On the other hand, the Internet foundation here was relatively good.

Facts have proved that Dangdang.com is still very attractive to a large number of young people who have access to the Internet even in its relatively primitive situation.

"Go directly to America. America is now the center of the Internet wave. It will be the best choice for Dangdang.com, but the website will have to change its name when the time comes. For the second shell, it’s a bit more subtle, so that the website looks like a local website. With Dangdang’s experience, it’s easy to re-establish a shopping website. Dangdang will stay in Xiangjiang, and will enter East Asia and China in the future.”

In December 94, a book shopping website named Alibaba was established in Silicon Valley.

In March 95, He Ping visited America.

When he went to America in 89 to prepare for the listing of Goodfarmer Group, he met Yang Zhiyuan, and the two have kept in touch over the years. Last year, Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo established the Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide.

After more than half a year of development, Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide has achieved good results.

Yang Zhiyuan chose to set up Yahoo, and began to seek angel investment. When he got the news, He Ping flew to America immediately.

Relying on the friendship with Yang Zhiyuan and the huge investment of 200 million US dollars, He Ping successfully won 20% of the shares of Yahoo.

200 million US dollars is definitely a sky-high investment for an Internet start-up company that has only been established for half a year.

With such a huge investment, Yang Zhiyuan entered the search engine business with confidence, and grabbed a large number of Internet users in a short period of time.

By the end of June 1996, 6 million Internet users in America had visited Yahoo through the Internet, accumulatively visiting Yahoo pages 200 million times a day.

It was also at the end of the year that Yahoo was officially listed on NASDAQ in America. On the first day of listing, Yahoo's market value reached US$5 million, while on this day, the total market value of Goodfarmer Group was US$215 billion.

Although compared with the behemoth Good Farmer Group, the size of Yahoo is still too small, and the scale of profit is not the same as that of Good Farmer Group.

But Yahoo's listing represents a trend.

In September of the same year, Alibaba, which had grown up in America for nearly two years, acquired Amazon, their biggest competitor in America, with $9 million in cash.

After the acquisition of Amazon, Alibaba has become the largest e-commerce company in America, with a market share approaching [-]%, which once attracted the coveted eyes of America's anti-monopoly agencies.

Until June 97, ebuy, another local American shopping website, set a sky-high valuation of US$6 million in the B round of financing. With the huge amount of funds raised, ebuy quickly made a staking claim in the American domestic market, which once brought Alibaba There was a lot of pressure.

However, Alibaba and ebuy are not real competitors in a strict sense because of their different business models.

After an initial firefight, both parties realized that such an approach would do no good but hurt both sides, and the two companies shook hands.

So far, the domestic e-commerce market in America has been divided into two parts, and the sword of anti-monopoly supervision hanging over Alibaba has disappeared.

New Times Group is located in the headquarters building of Xiangjiang, in the CEO office of Liang Yuejin.

"Brother, it's still your trick! Once you come and go, the shackles of supervision on our heads will disappear in an instant."

"It's just a stopgap measure. If the old American regulatory agencies develop clues in the future, I'm afraid that by then we will really have a strong man cut off his wrist."

Liang Yuejin's face is a little serious. For more than a year, he has been exhausted in dealing with Alibaba's anti-monopoly lawsuit in the American e-commerce market.

In the end, there was really no other way but to ask He Ping to leave the mountain.

If you want to say that the big brother is the big brother, he hit the key point when he came up, and directly invested 5000 million US dollars to support ebuy, an Internet e-commerce company that belongs to the same Internet e-commerce company as Alibaba, but has a completely different business strategy. The sword of Damocles above Baba's head was wiped out, instantly solving Alibaba's worries.

"I understand that I will be more careful in this regard in the future."

Seeing Liang Yuejin's solemn expression, He Ping explained: "Don't put too much pressure on it. The Internet is an emerging industry after all. The governments of various countries still focus on support and will not suppress it easily."

After finishing their business, the two brothers chatted about homework.

He Ping came this time to witness the return of 97 Xiangjiang. Seeing that it will be July 7st, he also felt a little excited to witness history.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of July [-]st, he received a call that the old captain had entered the hospital.

He Ping had no choice but to rush back to Hantun overnight.

Xingang Economic Zone, Good Farm Hospital.

He Ping hurried to the hospital, looking tired, saw Han Zhaokun and asked, "How is he?"

"It has been rescued, and there is no danger for the time being, but it is not easy to recover."

He Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

When he came to the ward, the old captain had a respirator stuck in his nose, and he was awake now.

Seeing He Ping coming in, he motioned him to sit down with his eyes.

"Tell me about you, you are so old, and you don't know how to pay attention."

"Why are you staring? Why do you want to goug me with a cigarette pipe? Don't even look at the pile of things you have now."

"Don't worry about the affairs in the village. Uncle Yuanchao is in charge. Now you belong to the people and take tea, and you can take care of your old man with peace of mind."

"Don't be ignorant of good people, I'm thinking about your health."

"This old man is unreasonable, he is so virtuous and still curses!"

He Ping communicated with the old captain for a while with his eyes and lips, took care of the old man's body, and finally left the ward.

After chatting with Han Zhaokun in the corridor for a while, the elder brother Han Zhaoqian arrived late with his family.

"Hey, isn't this Chief Han? Why don't you come here when you have time?"

Han Zhaokun was annoyed that he came later than He Ping, an outsider, and was kicked by He Ping for his sarcasm.

Han Zhaoqian knew he was wrong, "How is Dad?"

He Ping said: "It's nothing, it's out of danger."

"You are really the chief now, and ordinary people can't see you." Han Zhaokun said angrily.

After all, it is his brother, Han Zhaokun vented a few words, and then chatted with his elder brother about his father.

After seeing the old captain in the hospital, He Ping returned home.

Mao Chunhua had just brought He Youyou back from school, when seeing He Ping, He Youyou threw himself into his arms.

"Dad! You're back!"

He Ping hugged 8-year-old He Youyou and kissed them twice, "Are you good at school?"

"I'm so good, I got a little red flower after cleaning yesterday!" He Youyou said innocently.

"It's so cute!"

When eating in the evening, He Ping thought of Mao Xueshan, the father-in-law of Hope Primary School who was still busy outside.

"The old captain, let's go to the hospital. I think that my father is getting old, so it's better not to let him run outside."

Mao Chunhua gave him a blank look, "If you hadn't found such an errand for him, would he have been outside? It's good now, he's been running away, and he can't go home all year round. How many years have he been running away?"

Speaking of this incident, Mao Chunhua was full of resentment towards He Ping.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Then let's find a way to get him back. At such an old age, it's time to take care of him."

"Is there any way, how many times have I, my mother, and you persuaded me, is it easy?"

"It's not difficult. I didn't want to be serious before. In the future, I will let the charity foundation find professionals to replace him. Then I will let Xiao Zhu'er get married, and I will leave it to his grandfather. , let the old man be busy at home, and keep him from thinking about the foundation."

Mao Chunhua glared at him, "There is a way, why don't you use it earlier?"

Well, it's revealed!
He Ping hurriedly used the excuse to call his son to urge him to get married and fled.

"Hey, son! When did you come back and arrange the marriage?"

"What are you busy with? Why are you busy? No matter how busy you are, can I be as busy as you?"

"I believe you ghost! When your father and I played this game, you were still playing with mud!"

"Eleventh, eleventh, you must come back to get married. I don't care! At that time, everything at home will be prepared for the two of you, as long as you two come back from the capital. Do you hear me? If you dare to disagree, I will take your mother and you The old father-in-law and mother-in-law went to the capital and tied you two back."

"Brat!" He Ping cursed after hanging up the phone.

After graduating from Peking University, Xiao Zhuer did not choose to study abroad, but chose to stay in the capital. He also partnered with Liu Dongqiang to do business, and went to Zhongguancun to rent a store to sell recorders and CDs. It was called Haidong Multimedia.

When he heard the news, He Ping just wanted to scold him.

This kid, you can't give Brother Dong to Huo Huo, can you?I knew that I would not have met Liu Dongqiang when I graduated that year.
