About my rebirth back to 1998.
Good news: The history of the development of the Internet is still in your mind. Bad news: With this age-old computer, it takes three minutes to boot up.
With 400,000 yuan in my pocket, I had three options in front of me: follow my parents' advice to join the system and be as stable as an old dog; listen to my friends' advice to take over the electronics business and survive; or make plans for wealthy bosses who want to open Internet cafes but don't understand computers, and let them pay for it while I earn monthly rent.
I chose the third option. After all, what is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent. What about the twentieth century? Computer repair guy.
There are less than a thousand Internet cafes across the country, and every one of them is crashing. I only do one thing: teach the boss how to prevent the machine from jamming. How to configure the hardware, how to do it without a disk, how to automatically update the game, and how to check billing remotely. A set of plans is packaged and taken away.
Commonly known as: Selling shovels to gold diggers.
With cash flow in hand, I started doing two things.
First, do instant messaging "X". Earlier than OICQ, more stable than ICQ. How to promote it? In all cooperative Internet cafes across the country, every computer desktop is installed. Users have to register when they come, don't you want to register? That's fine. There's X in the Internet cafe next door. You can do whatever you want.
Second, make the online game "Qi Yuan". The project was established half a year earlier than "Legend". Original code, own copyright. Shanda is still negotiating with Koreans for agents, and my team is already writing the second map. Private server? Plug-in? The bottom floor is all sealed because I don't allow anyone to touch my cash cow.
Someone asked me: "Can you run three stalls by yourself?"
From Internet cafe solutions to national communications, from self-developed games to chip AI.
In this life, I will blow the wind and make the money myself.
