Chapter 158 Open it, the door to the online world(1/2)

.

In January 1991, during the period of satellite launch, Xiao Qiang did not go to the scene to watch it, but sent Austin to watch the ceremony.

He arrived in the United States a few days in advance.

The network is about to be officially launched and operated, and the form in the United States is changing rapidly. A small mistake may lead to the failure of the entire plan. Only when Xiao Qiang is in charge can he feel at ease.

There is a completely different difference between being in the United States and not in the United States. Only by staying here can you understand every subtle change here most intuitively through various information and make timely adjustments.

But in order to put aside the American public and worry that Chinese companies might control the American Internet, he stayed in a five-star hotel in a low-key manner and did not show up.

Andrew, general manager of New York Network Company, found that members of the board of directors who rarely appear on the company, have stayed in the company these days.

He once again made a detailed explanation of the work that had been preparing for a year.

It can be seen that everyone is very nervous.

Andrew knew how important this was. He had a personal experience of the magic of the Internet. If the comprehensiveness of the Internet service was compared, he had the confidence to win, so that everyone would accept the World Network.

However, the original Internet service providers will soon discover the threats they face and act quickly.

Although the board of directors has stated that the six companies have worked together to purchase the global network and develop the market in the United States. But in the face of those huge things, how long can the company last and whether it can achieve what it wants. Andrew is also in his heart.

During this preparation period, he also made many arrangements in advance and designed many sets of response plans.

I just hope that these plans can really play the role he expects...

The board of directors was satisfied with his report.

In more than a year of preparation, software engineers from six network service companies have designed new websites with a total of more than 110 types of websites, drawing on the operation and development of Huanyu.com in China.

These websites are all-encompassing and vary in their populations.

There are New York Network Services and five other network companies, and the National News Network jointly designed: the National Economic Network for commercial users; the National Computer Online for Computer Manufacturing and Ordinary Users; and the National Entertainment Website for the public, online entertainment websites, online game sites, movie music websites, etc.

Some of these websites, some of which occupy the commanding heights of the Internet, have hired special personnel to manage them. It is expected that after achieving considerable results, they will be independently released and a professional company will be established to operate independently.

Some people temporarily hire one or two maintenance personnel to filter China's network resources and use them for initial operation. When the network is officially running, more enthusiastic users will inevitably upload the video and audio data they have recorded to enrich the network resources.

Among them, there is also the Huanyu Technology Network of Huanyu Company, which is also the key website they recommend.

Such a comprehensive website resource covers news, economy, film and television entertainment, etc., which is enough to meet the needs of most users.

In addition to the improvement of the website, the board of directors is especially satisfied with the number of high-speed modems sold in the early stage. These should be the first batch of Internet users who are relatively certain. If they catch them, they will have the greatest capital to compete. Even if they cannot occupy the entire market, they can compete with those old Internet service providers based on this.

In the past three months of 1990, Microsoft's view www.piaotian.comodem reached more than 100,000 people.

You know, this is just the result of the New York Internet Services company.

In addition to the sales results of the other five strategic alliance partners, it has almost been included, with 80 to 90% of users who purchased new operating systems.

During this period in early January this year, sales of new operating systems became even more popular.

The performance of existing computers has been greatly enhanced due to the launch of sound cards and graphics cards. Moreover, after large computer manufacturers around the world have launched their own multimedia boards, the world computer market has shown a long-lost prosperity.

The emergence of operation software has stimulated the development of hardware and launched hardware, and promoted the further sales of operation software.

Since late December last year, users who have learned from various newspapers and magazines that computer technology is now progressing rapidly can't help but have a desire for new technologies.

A large number of computer users purchased sound cards and graphics cards, and replaced the old operating system in the computer with new viewwindows.

During Christmas, this sales rose even more strongly. It continued to be read until January of September and January, setting new records one after another.

At the beginning of the 1991 year, the number of users who purchased a new operating system reached more than 19,200! According to this speed, by the end of this year, it may even reach more than 2 million users who replaced a new operating system.

Various software sales points also timely sold new high-speed modems to them, and distributed exquisite explanations about Piaotianyi Network Company, which will be connected to the Internet to provide network services to customers. It provides detailed explanations and lists the network addresses of more than 100 websites.

Judy squeezed out of the crowded counter, holding a paper bag high in her hand, for fear of being squeezed out.

In this paper bag, there are boxes of all sizes, CDs, and manuals.

She came out of the crowd and looked at the 100-meter-long queue. Fortunately, she came early and only stood for more than ten minutes, and bought the things she needed.

It's not in vain that she took a special leave today and came to queue up early in the morning.

Judy is not short of money. She is an administrative assistant in a sales company at 28 years old and earns 8,000 US dollars a month. Her husband works in Silicon Valley and earns up to 60,000 US dollars a month. The two are real high-level white-collar workers. They don’t have to worry about food and drink. They are very happy to accept new things.

They used their vacation time many times to travel abroad with their son. The villa they bought with loans had wide lawns and precious furniture carpets.

Judy disdained Niuyou Network Company for selling their high-speed modem at low prices.

This time she came, mainly because she wanted to buy viewwww.piaotian.com.

A wealthy American, she has a deep sense of copyright. She did not have a set of viewwww.piaotian.comodem at home.

She had heard of New York Internet Services, which were once popular in July and August.

But after Microsoft and Universal formed a strategic alliance, various media focused on their cooperation and the funny-looking Chinese technology strongman. Several companies such as New York Network have been temporarily forgotten by people.

However, as their claimed time for internet service approaches, people began to wonder about it.

When asked by the media, all the staff of these Internet companies were silent. They were so anxious that they would say mysteriously: You can wait. On January 20th, when the Internet is officially running, the whole United States will be shocked!

This incident was originally talked about by her husband Luo Cai as a chat after a meal.

However, as the media shifted the focus of the report to various Internet service providers again, Judy's curiosity was also aroused by the mysterious attitude and the expected service.

She would like to know what a fantastic world that New York Internet Services claims to be "a fascinating online world".

Judy drives a BMW mini with a blue body, a white roof, and a cartoon-style front face. It looks cute.

His husband Roden, who had a Lamborghini sports car, was suddenly in love with the old-fashioned Beetle. He threw the Lamborghini in the garage, but went to buy a 1980 air-cooled Beetle, and bragged in front of Judy. This was the last batch of classic models produced in Germany.

Every day when he watched Roden drive the Beetle to work, Judy felt funny and angry. But Roden didn't care at all, and was traveling around the sea of ​​cars, proudly.

When Zeti returned home, he put his things in the living room, and rushed back to work in the company.

When she got off work, she picked up her seven-year-old son from school and found that her husband had already come back and was looking through the things she bought.

The two of them made a touch with each other for a moment, and their son Ike curiously flipping around the pile of boxes.

"Mom, what is this?" Ike didn't know enough words, and he couldn't read the words on Dong's CD packaging completely. But the colorful packaging colors attracted his attention.

"That..." Judy thought with great difficulty. For women, computers are a mysterious thing. They are so complicated that it is difficult to understand.

Her husband Roden took the CD with a funny look, took a look, and explained to Ike: "This is a dedicated network software, which is said to be only available on Microsoft's newly launched operating system. Through it, you can connect to the Internet company that is boasting about, "the Internet world that will be unforgettable for you forever."

"Is she that amazing?" Ike asked his father like a curious baby, tilting his tender face.

"Hahahaha! It's not that amazing!" Luo Deng laughed, "That's just a self-proclaimer from an Internet service provider. You have also dialed up through my computer, and there is only piles of text on it, nothing fun."

"That might be!" Judy retorted to her husband. "That internet company has said that it will definitely make you fall into it and unable to extricate yourself! Okay. I won't argue with you, you will know then. Ike, stop playing, finish the homework, I'll let you watch cartoons!"

"Really, mom? Then I'm going to watch cartoons today, and I've been asleep!" Ike rushed back to his house excitedly and opened his schoolbag to do his homework.

Under Judy's urging, Roden came to the room and installed a new operating system for her. When the installation was completed, he saw the high-speed modem and took off Judy's original 56k modem and installed the high-speed modem.

Judy was eager to try it next to her. As soon as she saw her husband finishing the installation work, she couldn't wait to push him away and sat in front of the computer screen.

She clicked on the dialing program and entered a bbs site where she often went. She opened a few articles and found that the speed was not as fast as she thought.

"Roden. You're right, that company is really lying!" She closed the site in a sanity.

Roden said funnyly: "It's not that there is a problem with the speed of the modem, but that opening these texts does not require a large amount of data transmission. Your 56k modem used to be qualified for this job. So, you buy this new modem and it's useless at all."

"So, the other party is not lying? This modem is really faster than before?"

Judy's understanding of computers is limited to using specific programs. Therefore, she is very fond of Microsoft's newly launched operating system. This convenient operation method allows her, a computer layman, to quickly master the office software they launched.

It is said that the company she works in has decided to replace the original operating system in large quantities and install new Microsoft's system. It is also because she is interested in the offices she houses in this operating system.

Luo Deng called out the network attributes and observed too much. The network transmission speed displayed here reached 128k. Unfortunately, such a fast transmission speed is not useful. It is just a network service provider to attract users as a commercial means."

After her husband's confirmation, Judy is now full of confidence in the New York Internet Services Company.

She said: "Don't worry about this. Since New York Internet Services companies have never been willing to disclose the form of Internet services they provide, they must have their own unique features. They promise to surprise us at that time. They will definitely do it."

"Then let's go and see." Roden shrugged and did not try to convince his wife.

He has a deep understanding of women's stubbornness.

Judy said arrogantly: "Then let's see! January 20th is the time when they will open the Chengpiao Astronomy Network. By the time, all the answers will be revealed."

Raden did not go to her, but picked up the exquisite explanation of the Piaotian Siyi Network site.

"National News Network, All-American Computer Online... Cartoon Mall? Roden whispered the name of the site above, and his brows gradually frowned. He said to himself, "Is it because he is watching cartoon programs on the computer and through the Internet? This network may be really interesting..."

Roden was puzzled by his claim to network services, and six companies including New York Network Services have entered a tense moment in the battlefield.

The other five companies are relatively better.

They just need to make their preparations perfect.

New York Internet Services Company also bears the role of the Internet Services Center across the United States. The preparations required are more and more arduous.

After the satellite is launched, they will directly transmit data to the satellite through the company's large ground receiving station in Thailand to connect with the Universal Corporation's host. After that, there will be a two-hour data update process.

Only when the data update is over, the company's wisdom goddess can take on the central network of the United States and provide network support to the other five network service providers.

All employees in the company have their leave to the ground, everyone is on their own, and there are also shift personnel to pay attention to data maintenance at any time.

All websites are also doing the final debugging. The company is busy, everyone is working in a hurry, everyone is in a very nervous mood.

Time approached January 20th little by little.
