Chapter 249 The New Era of Internet Cafes

Just when "Online Genesis" had just begun to show its clues in front of domestic players, and "Lianzhong Game World" began to catch fire quietly, Zhang Lexing received an encrypted email from Ma Guanghai, who had been sneaking into Indonesia for several days, via satellite network. After scanning with special decryption software, the content of the email gradually revealed. The text of the email is not long, but it also briefly introduces the situation after Ma Guanghai led the team into Indonesia. It turned out that the female employee named He Wanping found it.

Since Ma Guanghai left on May 5, according to the agreement, Zhang Lexing has not taken the initiative to find a way to contact him. There has been no news for seven days. Although he has made some psychological preparations in advance, he is still a little worried. Fortunately, This worry did not last long, and finally got the news on the eighth day, and it was very good news.

According to Ma Guanghai's email, they first entered Malaysia as tourists, and after preparing the necessary equipment, all the staff sneaked into Indonesia through secret channels, and established a small logistics service in a hidden location on the outskirts of Jakarta. The communication camp is used to accommodate large communication equipment that is not easy to carry and as a storage point for backup materials, and two team members are left to guard.The rest of the team members were divided into two teams, A and B. Team A, a group of four, disguised themselves as local Chinese, and went to downtown Jakarta with mainly light weapons, intending to find the missing He Wanping. The other team, Team B, was chasing the disappearance of the French interview team. the previous route to investigate possible causes.

Finding He Wanping was already the fourth night of Team A's entry into downtown Jakarta. Although the riots have basically subsided, the local police officers wandering the streets have caused a lot of trouble. At least it is impossible for Team A to take photos on the street. I asked people whenever I saw them, so I had to quietly inquire among the local Chinese, while slowly searching around the burnt-down house of He Wanping's cousin.On the afternoon of the fourth day, Team A got an inaccurate news from the local Chinese population, saying that there was a woman who looked like He Wanping hiding in a certain Chinese community in the suburbs.A lot of news like this have been received these days. Although they returned empty-handed every time, Team A still came to the Chinese community in the dark just in case of hope.After a careful search, Team A finally found He Wanping, who was already very emaciated, in a house that had been without electricity and water for several days. At the same time, they also found several young European and American men and women hiding inside.

According to the predetermined plan, after team A finds He Wanping, they will safely escort her to Jakarta International Airport, which is about 20 kilometers away from the city. The planes no longer fly to Indonesia, and the once overloaded airport is much more vacant, but the chartered flight arranged by Zhang Lexing will still fly to the airport every morning and afternoon to help the Chinese in need leave this hellish place for them. Therefore, what Team A has to do is to find a way to send He Wanping to the safe area of ​​the airport before the plane takes off.

Unexpectedly, there are still a few foreigners hiding here. It stands to reason that Europeans and Americans should be safe here. Even when the riots were the most violent, I have never heard of people from Europe and the United States being killed. Although it is a bit strange , but Han Baichuan, the captain of Team A, didn't think much about it, and planned to take He Wanping with him and leave as planned.

"No, I have to bring them with me before I am willing to go." Unexpectedly, He Wanping refused very simply.

How can this be done? With He Wanping, after all, they are all Chinese, so it is not too conspicuous here, but if you bring these foreigners with you, it is not as obvious as holding a flag and parading the streets in broad daylight, and these foreigners dare not go out , there must be something that offended the locals, and if we want to take them on the road, maybe everyone will have to go on the road together.Han Baichuan didn't dare to agree casually, so he had to persuade He Wanping again, but no matter what he said, He Wanping always acted as if he didn't want anything.

Han Baichuan felt that his head was getting bigger. In desperation, he had no choice but to think of those foreigners, and sent a team member with good English to communicate. Unexpectedly, he asked about a very thrilling experience, and he also figured out why He Wanping Be sure to take them with you.But now Han Baichuan can't make decisions without authorization. After all, he didn't expect so many people to be sent away at the beginning, so he had to send a team member to the small camp in the suburbs to report the situation here before he can make decisions. People, that's why this email Zhang Lexing received.

After reading this email, Zhang Lexing also roughly understood the whole story of the incident. When He Wanping's cousin's house had an accident on the 13th, she happened to drive out to pick up things with her cousin's aunt, so she survived the accident and had to temporarily avoid contact with her aunt. Unexpectedly, a group of thugs rushed in that night at a friend's house. He Wanping jumped out of the window and fled to the street, but only more thugs greeted her, like a pack of hungry wolves, threw her to the ground.Just when He Wanping thought she was doomed, six Americans, five men and one woman who passed by, offered her a helping hand. Two of them looked a little drunk and punched the violent thugs.

It's a pity that the strength of the hot-blooded youth was still weak. Instead, he was beaten into a gourd by the thugs who swarmed up, and the two who started the attack were directly beaten to death.So the messenger of justice turned into a lamb in distress. Several people fell to the ground, enduring the blows from time to time, even sticks. Just when they thought they were hopeless, they suddenly turned around and killed a young Chinese single-handedly. Come in, relying on a pair of iron fists, knock down dozens of thugs around to the ground, and everyone was saved.The youth also took them to a safe place and provided them with some food and water, but they have since disappeared.So these foreigners can be regarded as He Wanping's saviors. Without their intervention, even if the young man came, she would have been bloody and bloody. That's why she insisted on taking these foreigners away.

The matter became clear, and Zhang Lexing was also keenly aware of what could be used. The news from various channels these days did not mention that Americans were killed. This shows that the local government is covering up the matter. Get it out, then...

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing immediately replied an email, asking them to find a way to get those Americans out on the basis of ensuring He Wanping's safety.After receiving the reply, even though he was mentally prepared, Han Baichuan couldn't help sighing, and began to plan how to get this group of people out safely...

After sending the email, Zhang Lexing heaved a sigh of relief. He Wanping was found, and finally there was one less thing to worry about. As long as she can be sent back to Hong Kong safely, it will be a good explanation for both the company and her family. Next, we just need to think carefully about how to use those few Americans to add some obstruction to the Indonesian government.

When Zhang Lexing was thinking about it, a phone call came in suddenly. He reached out and picked up the phone handle and put it to his ear, and Wang Mengyao's voice came from the receiver: "Boss, I just received a notice that the country has decided to implement Internet cafe licenses." The system is over, I have written an email to you for the details, please check it."

"Well, I see, I will go and have a look." Zhang Lexing felt a little excited, which can be regarded as good news.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing logged into the office system, and there was indeed a letter from Wang Mengyao, so he clicked on it to have a look.According to Wang Mengyao’s introduction in the email, after a period of consultations between several central ministries and commissions yesterday, the resolution of “using Internet cafe licenses to manage Internet cafes and allowing Internet cafes with licenses to develop reasonably” was finally passed. More importantly, Zhang Lexing Several things proposed at the beginning, such as "allowing the use of computers to engage in electronic game entertainment business activities", "computers in Internet cafes must use operating systems", and "game classification system of industry associations", have all been approved.

The Internet cafe license is also the same as what Zhang Lexing suggested at the beginning. It is divided into two types: A and B. License A can provide all Internet cafe services including computer games, and license B can only provide services for browsing the web. As for the license business area, it is divided into two types: National chain type, province-wide chain type, small chain type and individual Internet cafe licenses, the initial A license will only be approved for the national chain type and the province-wide chain type. Public security, information industry, industry and commerce, fire protection and other departments.

Wang Mengyao also said in the email that after receiving the news, she conducted some investigations. The cultural department will issue about eight A licenses for Internet cafes across the country in the near future, intending to implement this system as a pilot program. Zhang Lexing’s company already has an automatic one. Other participating companies include China Unicom, Great Wall Broadband, Ruide Online, Zhongqing Network Home Co., Ltd., China Digital Library, China Cultural Relics Information Consultation Center, and Zhonglu Space-Time Culture Development Co., Ltd. Wait for a few companies.In order to facilitate Zhang Lexing's understanding of the situation, Wang Mengyao also attached the brief introductions of these companies to the email.

"China Unicom was established on July 1994, 7...According to investigations, the company plans to start an Internet business this year, and the purpose of obtaining an Internet cafe license may be related to this..."

"Great Wall Broadband was established in early May of this year. Its main business is Internet access and computer network engineering. It plans to introduce the most advanced broadband network technology in the world and develop domestic Internet resources... Major investors include Great Wall Technology Co., Ltd. Company, China Great Wall Computer Shenzhen Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Great Wall Development Technology Co., Ltd...."

"Ruid Online was established in September 1996. It is a service provider with ISP business... It has opened an Internet cafe in BJ before. The purpose of obtaining the Internet cafe license should be to make full use of its own resources..."

"China Youth Network Home Co., Ltd. was established in early May, jointly established by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and Yiyang Group...According to internal sources, China Youth Network Home Co., Ltd. will mainly develop customers under the age of 18, with the purpose of creating a green environment for young people. Internet space..."

"The China Digital Library was established in..."

"China Cultural Relics Information Consultation Center..."

"Zhonglu Space-Time Culture Development Co., Ltd. was established in early May. It is a large-scale cultural communication company funded by the China Audio and Video Publishing Corporation directly under the Ministry of Culture. According to internal sources, it is also allowed to receive customers under the age of 18..."

Zhang Lexing is not worried about the sudden increase of competitors. Anyway, his purpose is to promote the system. As long as this system can be popularized, it can open up a new market for domestic game companies. It doesn't matter if it comes to reality, and rivals such as China Unicom and Great Wall Broadband are not considered to be competitive. As long as the current post office and China Telecom in the future do not end, Zhang Lexing will not worry at all. As for the China Digital Library He doesn't need to worry about the two units that are completely incompatible with Internet cafes, the China Cultural Relics Information Consultation Center.

On the other hand, Zhongqing Network Home Co., Ltd. and Zhonglu Time-Space Culture Development Co., Ltd. can tell some clues just from the time of their establishment. It is obvious that they came with a certain idea of ​​​​the leader, and they coincided with each other. Taking into account the young people under the age of 18, judging from the composition of the Internet cafe market, these two companies are indeed very competitive in this respect, at least the other companies obviously cannot do it.However, Zhang Lexing is not worried about this at all. In fact, from the very beginning, he did not plan to open his Internet cafe to minors to avoid many hidden dangers in the future. consider.

In the last part of the email, Wang Mengyao also specifically explained that this is still news that has not been announced to the public. The person who told her the news said that there may still be variables, so she suggested that the company will make a formal response after the relevant situation is officially announced.Zhang Lexing also agrees with this point. Domestic policies are sometimes like this. Not to mention that they have not been announced yet, even if sometimes the regulations written in black and white can be interpreted into completely different meanings by different departments, so he does not I didn't plan to go to an Internet cafe rashly right away.

In fact, before, in the name of Fengyun Game Club, a place similar to Internet cafes had been opened, and even the initial beta version was run there. On the one hand, it is to take the opportunity to cultivate some Internet cafe management talents, so as not to have to cram for the time being when they officially enter the Internet cafe, and invite some completely inexperienced people to come back and fool around.

However, although Internet cafes are not yet in a hurry to open, some things can still be started in advance, such as registering a company named Fengyun Investment Holdings in BJ, as the main investment body of Internet cafe chains in the future, such as through acquisitions and integration, starting from BJ Gradually create one or several large-scale technical service companies as the technical support for the overall development of Internet cafes in the future, and at the same time, this can also be used as a skeleton to build a team for future game promotion on the ground.In short, there are many things that can be done in advance, so Zhang Lexing immediately called the relevant departments for a short meeting to arrange the relevant tasks, and then he just needs to wait quietly for the official announcement of the relevant policies of Internet cafes, so that The right time to take your first step.
