Reboot 2003

Chapter 34 034: Big Stupid
Because of a sudden accident, the atmosphere in the small office in the lakeside garden became solemn, and everyone was absent-mindedly doing their own things.

And in an unknown elementary school classroom across a province, the midterm exam was approaching, and teacher Xiao Meng, who had just been transferred this year, was reviewing knowledge points on the podium.

In a corner of the classroom, Chen Qin looked up at the blackboard while holding his mobile phone in the hole of the table, waiting for a reply that would come at some point.

But until the end of get out of class, I didn't wait for the next reply email...

"Chen Qin, Chen Qin, what is that? Is it a mobile phone?"

Although the teacher didn't see it, the boy at the same table came over, and Chen Qin took out a one-yuan bill: "Here, keep quiet!"

The elementary school boy's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and went out to buy spicy sticks.

Sitting on a chair, Chen Qin was thinking hard, and finally arranged the fishing plan...

Why does this fail?

Since acquiring the first batch of ten domain names, Chen Qin has bought many other domain names. Now he has more than one hundred domain names, mainly two-character domain names, and some missed one-character domain names and other popular domain names.

Other than that, he didn't touch those more tricky brand domain names in the end; except for potatoes and melon seeds, which are naturally valuable, he hardly touched the rest.

This is to avoid disturbing the future as much as possible—although the butterfly effect itself should be inevitable, he still tries not to get involved in this kind of business that is not very profitable.

But this time is an exception——

Just a few days ago, Chen Qin preemptively registered a domain name that was a milestone for China Internet, namely taobao.com.

This domain name is of course very good.

It looks very rustic, but it sounds easy to pronounce, low-key and elegant, yet catchy, easy to remember and catchy. It is especially used in e-commerce. Users obviously come to spend money to buy things, but they come to "Taobao" as if they are here to take advantage.

Of course, these are afterthoughts, and the real domain name transaction has the most straightforward meaning, so Chen Qin didn’t expect to rely on this to blackmail Alibaba’s money, but he changed his mind just a few days ago-President Ma likes nostalgia when he gets old, and talks about his business when he was young every day.

Now that Chen Qin thinks back, he probably remembers a process...

As one of the two giants in China's Internet industry, Alibaba Group was established in 1999. The founder, Ma Yun, was an industry veteran in China's Yellow Pages in 1995. Today, he has become one of the few giants in China's Internet industry with his b2b business.

In 2003, Ma Yun wanted to enter the c2c market. In order to keep it as secret as possible and not alert competitors, he asked a group of his staff to secretly develop Taobao. The time should be just before the Canton Fair this year.

Chen Qin doesn't know the exact date, but he probably knows that the development cycle of such a webpage will not be very long. The b2b and c2c businesses are actually very similar, even including product packaging, it only takes more than ten days of work.

So Chen Qin saw that the days were almost up, and registered the domain name in advance—the reason why Alibaba is called Alibaba is because the name 'Alibaba' can be crowded in the first row in the address book and yellow pages.

Now that they are going to be a user-oriented C2C online shopping platform, the name Taobao should also be very important to them. Chen Qin knew the answer in advance, so after registering, he took his mobile phone to "phishing law enforcement"——

Judging from the results, it seemed that he was indeed fishing.

The "personal domain name investor" sent him an email just now, and Chen Qin certainly could tell that he was a novice—in domain name transactions, the highest bids often come from the end users of domain names, and those who really want to build a website domain name are the ones who take advantage of the highest bids, so domain name dealers usually pay high prices when they encounter such people.

It is also because of this kind of killing market, except for Xiaobai who doesn't know anything, no one will say what they are buying a domain name for. However, in most cases, pretending to be a speculator will not do any good. Only by spreading the net can you find cheap buyers.

but……

Seeing that the other side was about to take the bait, suddenly there was no sound again.

Could it be that you gave up?

Or guess too accurately, was they as a ghost?

Chen Qin was a little depressed when he didn't get a reply.Of course, if he just wanted to sell the domain name, he really didn't have to tell the other party so much just now.Even if it is difficult for Chen Qin to take over the Taobao domain name, it is not a loss at all.

But he had some other ideas, should he take the initiative to hint to the other party?
Chen Qin thought so, but still didn't reply. Now the other party wanted to take the domain name from him, but Chen Qin had other plans.

So Chen Qin took a long breath, be steady, don't be in a hurry, what do you call that, if you take the initiative, you will lose.

He put his phone in the middle of his schoolbag, anyway, let's go play marbles first, it's more important to play marbles, even if Ma Yun comes in person, he has to wait for me.

However, thinking this way, Chen Qin went to the playground to play marbles, but he was always thinking about replying to the email, and ran back in 10 minutes, but there was no reply.

I went home after dinner in the afternoon, secretly went to the bathroom to check my phone, but didn’t reply.

When I went to Xu Lingling's house at night, I didn't have the heart to write codes at all... Xu Lingling stared at him with green eyes. Chen Qin took out a Mathematical Olympiad book and stuffed it for her to learn. He held his mobile phone and waited for a reply.

Still haven't waited for the result.

Chen Qin thought to himself that Ali's people can really hold their breath, don't they want to know who this 'mysterious person' who knows their details is?

If the domain name creates a relationship of interest between the two parties, then Chen Qin’s goal needs to allow the two parties to have a relationship outside of that, and then he can move forward with the next plan... Now that he is reviewing, he feels that his plan should make sense, but the problem has arisen, and he has no way of knowing what Ali’s people think. Now that Ali doesn’t tell him, he can’t do anything about it.

So Chen Qin went home with his mobile phone in his hands... In the end, he waited until he went to bed that night, and had another day of class the next day, but there was still no movement.

So... isn't it coming?

Chen Qin was a little disappointed.

If you don’t come, don’t come, and you can’t hold a mobile phone and do nothing all day.

When I went back that night, at Xu Lingling’s house, Xu Lingling was also driven crazy by the Olympiad questions Chen Qin gave him. Chen Qin patiently explained to him a thinking question about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and then went online to start two orders. The development of Kuaikan.com has come to an end in the past few days. Although those more functions have not been added, Chen Qin thinks that the most important asset of the Internet is traffic after all.

So he stopped the function development, and first made the click-through rate calculation and statistics function first, and then connected with the traffic masters he knew before, and built a UI for online shopping of advertisements.

Although the customer service is still responsible for the specific transaction operations, in short, the functions of the website are almost the same.

Afterwards, Chen Qin contacted the business everywhere. In the past few days, the number of orders received on the homepage has exceeded 30, which made Chen Qin feel that maybe it is not impossible to develop without finding someone to cooperate with.

And the same day after day, for him, a primary school student who is facing an exam, such an achievement seems to be quite remarkable.

When I went back that night, Lao Chen talked to Chen Qin: "How is your review these days?"

There have been a lot of questions like this in the past few days, and Chen Qin said casually, "Well, let alone the second grade, even the third grade is not a problem for me."

Old Chen asked: "How about Xu Lingling?"

"Xu Lingling is no longer my opponent."

"But when I met her today, that's not what she said..."

"what?"

"She said you are a big fool, did you not keep up with the progress, which made Xu Lingling despise you?"
