Reboot 2003

Chapter 33 033: Lakeside Garden

"Toto, it's so early today."

"Hehe, it's okay, how do you feel?"

"very good!"

"It's just a headache..."

"You don't have a fever?"

"No, no, how is it possible, the glass of wine last night was too drunk."

"No way, just a glass of beer can give you a headache?"

"What do you know, Jim doesn't smoke or drink, he's a model good man."

"Okay, okay, come and stand on your head, Jim, you come too, and you won't have a headache after doing a handstand."

"No, Toto, are you really going to stand on your head?"

"This is what the boss said. In the future, each of us must learn to stand on his head, because when you stand on your head, blood will flow into your brain, and you will see the world from a completely different angle than usual."

"Yes, the project we are going to do now is to open our minds and think about problems, so that we can find opportunities to break through c2c."

"However, although……"

"Can we girls not come?"

"My stomach hurts, I'm going to the bathroom!"

"No, at least give it to me once today!"

……

Lin'an, lakeside garden, a group of high-spirited entrepreneurs lived in this residential complex.

It is only a civilian house, but entrepreneurs who cannot afford to start a company or rent an office building sometimes temporarily live in this kind of place... Four years ago, a group of entrepreneurs embarked on a journey here, and now it is a well-known local star enterprise in Lin'an.

However, today, four years later, a group of vigorous entrepreneurs came back to this house—they were newcomers to the industry, and when the old man basking in the sun at the door talked to them, he got such an answer.

But even though they are new to the industry, they have a lot of eccentricities. Just after going to work early in the morning, a group of people are playing handstands in the house, and a group of uncles and aunts are curiously looking in at the door to see that they are holding a meeting together after finishing their handstands. They are all from the Celestial Dynasty, but they only call each other by foreign names, even if the computer is on...

"Okay, everyone, come on, now that the direction has been set, let's start your own work according to the arrangement. This task can only be successful without failure! Jim, since the domain name has been discussed, you should first register the one discussed yesterday."

Finally started to work, everyone returned to their workstations to start working, and Jim logged into his own domain name server according to the arrangement. Although this is not the main direction of the company, it is also one of the first batch of domain name resellers issued by cnnic.

Submit the domain name discussed yesterday to the server, but the result is unsuccessful. The system prompts: The domain name you requested has been registered.

"what?"

Jim stood up from his seat, and the person next to him asked, "What's wrong?"

"The domain name has been registered for someone." Jim frowned, "Obviously I checked the whois yesterday and it's still there."

The sudden change made the harmonious office atmosphere suddenly cold. The project they are working on is an online c2c shopping platform. The domain name is of course the most important part of the brand. It stands to reason that they should have registered it at that time, but the atmosphere of their small team has always been relatively relaxed, so they didn't pay attention at the time; later, after a night of delay, the domain name is gone...

Of course, it is not a big deal for a domain name to be squatted. Their project is a start-up brand, and the big deal is to replace the domain name if it is gone.

But this domain name was decided by the boss himself, and their team is also very satisfied with this domain name. It is a bit difficult to change it now.

And more importantly, the domain name targeted this time was not a popular domain name, and it was also shown that it could be registered before.

As a result, it disappeared overnight, why is this happening?Compared to 'missing the time', it is more likely that there are ghosts in the project team...

No one has mentioned this possibility, but the people in this room are no longer newcomers to the Internet industry. Even if they have not participated in domain name blackmail, they have heard of it. Looking at each other now, the atmosphere has become a little subtle.

"Small things."

Toto, the leader at the scene, came forward and said: "I am to blame for thinking of the next one after being registered. We should have snatched up all the names that came to mind a few days ago."

Others breathed a sigh of relief, but someone still said depressedly: "It's hard to come up with the name this time..."

Jim, who was sitting in front of the computer, also said: "I really don't think there is a more suitable name than this."

The others nodded, and Toto said, "Don't panic, Jim, try to see if you can buy this name back."

Jim hesitated: "Buying a domain name? This kind of person usually raises the price very high."

"Let's have a look. It's worth it if it's expensive. If it's cheap, I'll buy it. The name is really good."

Jim nodded, then turned around and opened Whois to check the domain name information, and saw that the domain name was registered on Godaddy, the registration information was half a week ago, in fact, it has been a few days.

I went to Godaddy to look again.

The registrant of the domain name did not put a price on it, but left an email address.

Jim opened the corporate mailbox, and at this moment a person reminded him: "Jim, don't use the corporate mailbox, this kind of person kills the terminal very badly, use a personal mailbox."

Jim hurriedly registered an ordinary NetEase mailbox by himself, and then used the mailbox to reply: "Hello, I am an ordinary domain name investor from Tianchao. Is the domain name taobao.com under your name? Can you quote me a price?"

"Is it okay?" Toto grabbed the knowledgeable colleague and said, "Don't say 'ordinary domain name investors', it's too deliberate."

Jim deleted this sentence and just replied that he wanted to buy a domain name.

Several people looked at the successfully sent page and waited for a while, but did not get a reply. Toto said: "Let's work first, and I will discuss it with Jack. 'Youbao' or 'Taomi' are also very good."

Even so, everyone was a little frustrated, 'Youbao' and 'Taomi' were not good at first sight.

Just as I was about to leave, there was a ding-dong sound on the stereo, and the reply letter had already arrived.

Open it up——

"What are you buying this domain name for?"

"It really is from the Celestial Dynasty!" Another colleague who came over was surprised... Of course, this point is actually obvious. 'taobao' is obviously a name only used in the Chinese-speaking circle, and it is easier to communicate if you speak the same language.

Jim replied: "Hello, I am an individual engaged in domain name investment, and I am willing to purchase this domain name for a fee."

Colleagues reminded him: "Don't express your willingness to buy too much, just say that I want to ask about the price."

Jim replied according to what he said, but the other party refused to let go: "What are you buying this domain name for? Do you want to build a C2C platform?"

This……

How did this person guess so accurately?
Jim reluctantly replied: "No, I am a personal domain name investor, do you sell this domain name?"

As a result, the other party wrote back: "I want to build an e-commerce website myself. If you don't do it, I will do it myself."

Several people looked at each other.

"Toto, what do you think?"

"First...don't go back to him."

The person in charge of the project—Sun Tong, who is called Toto by others, looked gloomy, almost dripping water.

Others also looked very unhappy, and this email exchange came to an end here. Sun Tong ignored others and strode out to report to the boss.
