Life 1984

Li Yunhai slowly turned around and said to the middle-aged man: "Do you recognize me?"

The middle-aged man tilted his head and laughed, "Aren't you Li Yunhai? The former chairman of Sihai Group, but now you are nothing!"

Li Yunhai thought, the other party really recognized him!

When he was the chairman of the Sihai Group, he was always followed by many people wherever he went. He was also supported by local dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. They would invite him to seminars and various dinners, and they would invite the most beautiful women in the government departments to dance with him.

Everyone served him carefully, fearing that he would be unhappy and stop investing locally.

The wealthy businessmen approached him with clearer purposes: either they wanted to get rich with him, catch the fast-growing train of Sihai Group and become suppliers; or they wanted to cooperate with him and become agents of Sihai Group.

People in this world are bustling about, all for the sake of profit.

When the alliance of interests collapsed, the monkeys scatter like a tree when it falls, and the people surrounding Li Yunhai gradually drifted away.

Since they no longer rely on Li Yunhai to make money, they no longer pay as much attention to and support Li Yunhai as before.

Li Yunhai was already accustomed to these social practices and didn't care about them at all.

As long as these people don’t come to provoke me!
The man in front of me is obviously courting death!
Although Li Yunhai is no longer the chairman of Sihai Group, looking across the country, how many people's assets can be compared with his?
However, in the eyes of outsiders, no matter how rich Li Yunhai is, it has nothing to do with them.

They want the benefits of cooperation.

In this case, Li Yunhai is useless to them, so it doesn’t matter whether they offend him or not.

And it can be seen that this middle-aged man must be quite wealthy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to offend a person with some background outside.

Li Yunhai smiled calmly: "Yes, the past glory doesn't mean anything! I used to own Sihai Group, but now I own nothing! But who the hell are you? Where did you come from? You haven't even learned how to speak yet, and you come out here to embarrass yourself?"

After hearing this, Su Wan'er and Xiao Taohong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiao Taohong gently scratched her face with her hands and acted shy: "You little brat! You haven't even learned how to speak yet and you're already running out to play! You'll get spanked by the adults when you get home!"

They were all sitting in the hall, and many people around heard this and burst into laughter.

The middle-aged man was scolded and lost face. Anger flashed across his face. He slammed the table and shouted, "Little girl, stop pretending here. I can crush a few people like you in a minute!"

Xiao Taohong is an actress. What kind of people has she not seen?
People like this who always talk about killing people are not scary at all.

Because a dog that really bites people won't bark.

The more fierce the barking, the more likely the dog is to be afraid. It appears to be fierce but is actually weak, and can only scare away the enemy by barking loudly.

Xiao Taohong snorted coldly, "How about I call the police uncle over, and you tell them in front of them how many girls you have crushed to death in the past? Let's see who is more powerful, you or the police uncle?"

Everyone cheered and encouraged Xiao Taohong: "Great! We caught a serial killer! I wonder if he is a wanted criminal nationwide? We can get a lot of reward!"

The middle-aged man was shocked by the crowd's overwhelming emotions. He didn't dare to act tough anymore. He waved his hands and shouted, "Are you guys idiots? I'm joking, can't you hear me? Who the hell is a murderer?"

Xiao Taohong giggled and said, "Can you guys be brave enough? He called all of you fools! How can you tolerate this? He's just one person with two hands. There are so many of you, are you still afraid of him? If everyone throws a teacup at him, he will be crippled!"

Li Yunhai listened to Xiao Taohong's nonsense, and actually fooled an old man. He couldn't help but smile and said to Su Wan'er: "Look at Xiao Taohong, how powerful she is? This little mouth can defeat a million soldiers!"

Su Wan'er was a lady from a wealthy family, so of course it was impossible for her to curse at others in public like Xiao Taohong did.

But she also found it very enjoyable and satisfying to listen to!

Suddenly, a bowl came flying over from somewhere!

That bowl arrived so quickly!
Fast and accurate!

There was a bang!

It hit the middle-aged man right in the chest.

It seems that Xiao Taohong's provocation worked!
A hero has already stepped forward to eliminate the evil for the people!
The middle-aged man was startled, and he cried out, his eyes furrowed, and he shouted, "Who? Who threw the bowl? If you're brave enough, stand up right here, or I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Whoosh!
Bang!
Another bowl came flying over, this time with greater accuracy, hitting the middle-aged man directly on the head.

Porcelain bowls are not light!
When it hit my chest, it only hurt a little.

If you hit it on the head, it will really bloom!
The bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The middle-aged man yelled, touched his head with his hand, and then looked at his palm, which was filled with blood!

"Who! Who! Damn it, I saw you!" The middle-aged man turned around suddenly and looked at the guest behind him.

The guests were not afraid at all and just looked at him coldly.

Just as he turned around, there was a loud crash!

shhhhhh!
Several bowls and teacups were thrown at me.

blah blah blah!
The middle-aged man was hit several times in a row.

Everyone was not far away to begin with, and the bowl was not small, so it was a sharp weapon to hit people. The middle-aged man was a big target, so he could hit anyone with one strike!

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he jumped up and down. He touched his head from time to time and protected his chest.

His friends were also very scared!
Because those bowls and cups have no eyes. Especially after hitting the middle-aged man, they fell on the table or fell on the ground, making clanging sounds, which was very scary!
Although the people at the table saw who threw the bowl, they did not dare to incur the public anger, fearing that the next bowl would fly towards them. In order to avoid being implicated, they stood up one by one and hid away.

The middle-aged man was furious at first, shouting non-stop, but when he saw more and more people throwing bowls at him, he was so scared that he dared not say a word. He also didn't dare to confront Li Yunhai and the others, so he just ran away and left.

The waiter chased after them and shouted, "Hey, your table hasn't paid yet!"

Li Yunhai said to a waiter next to him: "All the broken bowls will be charged to our table! It's a great pleasure to smash the bowls of heroes!"

He spoke loudly just to let the people who had just smashed the bowl hear him.

Several people at the scene stood up and bowed to him.

Little Peach Hong clapped her hands and said with a giggle, "Well done, wonderful fight! The enemy is screaming in despair!"

Su Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "You are the only one who can cause trouble!"

Xiao Taohong snorted softly: "What are you afraid of! Mr. Li has bodyguards! Even if we can't beat him, the bodyguards will come forward to help!"

Li Yunhai gave a thumbs up: "Not bad! You are brave and resourceful, and you are a tough guy!" Xiao Taohong said proudly: "Then take me out to have fun again?"

Of course Li Yunhai agreed.

At this time, a young man came over.

Li Yunhai saw it clearly just now. It was this young man who threw out the first bowl.

The young man walked up to Li Yunhai, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Hello. I just heard your conversation. Are you Mr. Li Yunhai, the chairman of Sihai Group?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "I am Li Yunhai, but I am no longer the chairman of Sihai Group."

The young man said respectfully: "There is only one chairman of Sihai Group, and that is Mr. Li. Mr. Li, I am also a businessman, but I only do small business. I have heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today!"

Li Yunhai looked at him for a few seconds.

This young man, who was in his twenties, had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp features on his face. He couldn't be said to be very handsome, but he looked pleasing to the eye.

He has the experience of two lifetimes, and can be said to have seen countless people. Although he may not be 100% accurate in judging people, he can still be 70% to 80% accurate.

This young man should be considered a relatively decent person.

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Hello! What's your name?"

"Mr. Li, my name is Wang Zhifeng, and I'm from Northeast China."

"Oh, Mr. Wang, please sit down and let's have a drink!" Li Yunhai said to Xiao Taohong, "Pour us some wine."

Wang Zhifeng came here specially to make friends with Li Yunhai, so of course he would not be polite, and said with a smile: "Then I would rather obey you than be respectful! Thank you, Mr. Li."

He sat down confidently.

Xiao Taohong filled their glasses with wine.

Wang Zhifeng picked up the wine glass, raised his hands high, and said, "Mr. Li, I toast to you! You are my idol, the person I admire most in my life, is you!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "You young people should regard scientists and strategists as your idols. They are the pillars of the country!"

Wang Zhifeng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and said, "People like them will never become idols, they can only become role models! Let us ordinary people look up to them! Mr. Li, your achievements in the business and technology circles are no less than those of scientists. Others may not understand, but I know that the lithography machines and chips you have developed are in the world's leading position, allowing our domestic electronics industry to keep pace with developed Western countries! Your contribution is enough to go down in history!"

Seeing that he was eloquent, Li Yunhai asked, "Mr. Wang, what business are you in?"

Wang Zhifeng smacked his lips and said, "To be honest, I just came back from studying abroad. I studied computer technology and now I'm running a small website. But it's just getting started and it's not well-known."

Li Yunhai asked: "Website? What website?"

Wang Zhifeng said: "I found that there are no large portal websites or search websites in China. What I want to do is to build a website that combines portal websites and search engines. With the rise of browsers such as Internet Explorer, online information retrieval or online search engines have become particularly important. There are search engines such as JumpStation abroad."

Li Yunhai pondered and said, "How much do you know about search engines? As far as I know, there is a company called Yahoo in China that also makes search engines."

When it comes to the other party's professional field, Wang Zhifeng has endless things to say.

In this era of knowledge explosion, the way we acquire knowledge is no longer limited to classrooms and books. We often rely on search engines on the Internet. The emergence of search engines has made knowledge acquisition and information collection more convenient and efficient than ever before.

With the development of the Internet, the emergence of search engines is inevitable.

In later generations, we use search engines almost every day. Whether it is the well-known Baidu, Gouso, Taobao, or Douyin, each has its own powerful search engine for users to use. Some websites even have their own search engines integrated within them.

In 1990, Archie, the first real search engine on the Internet, was used for files on FTP servers. The web had not yet appeared at that time.

In 1993, the first Web search engine in the history of search engines, Word Wide Web Wanderer, appeared. It was only used to collect URLs but could not index file contents.

The following year, Infoseek was founded and later officially launched its search service, allowing webmasters to submit URLs to Infoseek.

The founder of Baidu, Li Yanhong, was one of the core engineers of Infoseek at that time.

Lycos was founded in June 1994 and quickly became one of the most popular search engines.

In 1995, Yahoo! was officially established.

By the end of 1996, there were already more than a dozen search engines in the world, each making great strides in its own field.

In that year, Google and Baidu, which Li Yunhai was familiar with, had not yet been established.

These two search giants, standing on the shoulders of their predecessors, have risen to become the two most powerful search engine companies in the world.

Now, when Li Yunhai heard Wang Zhifeng say that he wanted to develop a search engine, he naturally thought that this was a very good project.

As for gateway stations, they have just emerged in our country. This is a blue ocean project!
Li Yunhai listened to Wang Zhifeng talking about search engines, which he spoke very clearly, and asked him about his views on portal websites.

Wang Zhifeng talked freely.

"The world's first portal website was created by Netscape in 1994! It is a platform that provides various resources through the Internet, such as news, entertainment and business information, etc., which can attract a large number of netizens to browse."

Li Yunhai said: "Well, I have also heard of the website you mentioned. When I was abroad, I also visited their website. The content is indeed very rich."

From the perspective of Internet evolution, portal websites that focus on news reporting were the first type of websites separated from BBS electronic bulletin boards.

Before other Internet business models flourished, it was the most influential business model on the Internet.

However, with the emergence of new Internet applications such as video, search engines, SNS, and Weibo, the role of portals as the entry point for Internet users is facing strong challenges.

No matter what, the importance of gateway stations will be irreplaceable in the next 20 years.

Moreover, as long as the portal website becomes strong, it will be relatively easier and simpler to develop derivative products of other networks on this basis.

Because the portal station has accumulated a large number of customer groups!

After Wang Zhifeng finished speaking, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I haven't found venture capitalists for these projects! Few people in China understand websites, and even fewer understand search engines. When I told them this, they were stunned. When I asked them for investment, they shook their heads and said that things on the Internet are too virtual. How can we invest real money in them?"

As he was talking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Li, do you think I am playing the lute to a cow? Or do they think they are listening to a cow playing the lute?"

Xiao Taohong burst out laughing: "Hey, you can ask Mr. Li for investment! He has plenty of money! What's more, he can understand what you are saying! He is your soulmate!"

Wang Zhifeng's eyes lit up!
Li Yunhai glared at Xiao Taohong.

Xiao Taohong giggled and said, "Boss Li, why don't you give him a hand? Young people need your help to start their own business! Maybe he can achieve great things in the future."

Li Yunhai was silent. (End of this chapter)
