my return 2002

Chapter 323 The Coming of a New Era
At the beginning of July, the 7 bull market ushered in the third stage and the last madness. A lot of hot money poured in, retail investors frantically entered the game, and the A-share index soared from 2007 points like flying.

There were even many grandpas and aunts who had never touched stocks before ran to the stock exchange, asked traders to help them open accounts, and then randomly pointed to one of the stocks and asked to buy them.

For a while, there was a spectacular scene of a thousand shares' daily limit.

Reflecting in some news and reports, the flow of financial articles has also surged. The blogger with the most followers on YY Diary is the financial blogger Xu Xiaoming. His number of fans has exceeded [-] million, far surpassing many first-line stars.

It is worth mentioning that after two years of brutal competition, the Sina blog project has almost come to a standstill, and Sina is unwilling to invest a large amount of money in this project, and Sina blog itself has no hematopoietic ability, causing many bloggers to rush Job hopping, followed by a large loss of users.

There are only some celebrities whose blog contracts with Sina have not yet expired to support the scene, and the competition for the top blog track has basically been launched.

The only two leading blogs on the market are YY Log and QQ Log. I have to admit that Xiao Ma is still very good at it. Users of QQ Log no longer only pay attention to celebrity bloggers as before, and the change in product tonality has allowed QQ Log to establish its own advertising alliance system.

This is also the only project that Xiaomao can achieve evenly matched competition with Shen Lang. Xiaomao naturally spent a lot of effort on QQ logs. In addition to the investment of money, the diversion of a large number of QQ users also guarantees The number of users who have accessed QQ logs has always kept pace with YY logs.

At the same time, QQ Log is more willing to spend money on top celebrity bloggers. Many celebrity bloggers on Sina Blog have been absorbed by QQ Log. A large number of first-generation self-media bloggers.

However, I have to admit that during the fierce competition between the two blogs, a large number of blog users have indeed been cultivated. The number of registered users of YY Log and QQ Log has exceeded 1.2 million, which is equivalent to half of the total Internet users, although many of them The users are overlapping, but it is enough to indicate that the users at this time are no longer satisfied with the previous mode of only receiving information from some official channels.

More and more young people are eager to understand the world from multiple perspectives.

But at this moment, an unexpected incident forced Shen Lang to stop his work and go to the capital again. At the same time, brother Ma also came from Pengcheng.

The reason is quite speechless. A Sina blogger named "Leading Big Brother 777" was arrested on suspicion of illegal business operations, and some public opinion questioned the charging model of the blog.

Shen Lang and Xiao Ma were invited to the relevant departments to drink tea again, this time Cao Guowei from Sina Blog was also among them, so he was still the person involved.

After the three of them met, a verbal battle was inevitable, and Cao Guowei felt that he was wronged.

"Hey, Sina Blog has withdrawn from the competition, how can such a thing happen."

Brother Xiao Ma said angrily: "Mr. Cao, don't call me wronged. If you want to say wronged, I am the most wronged. It was clearly Sina blog who committed the crime, but in the end they called me to drink tea."

It was rare for Shen Lang to agree with brother Ma this time: "Mr. Ma is right, Mr. Cao, why don't you help us report the round-trip air ticket."

Cao Guowei's nose was almost crooked: "Go, it's cheaper to be a good boy!"

While the three were bickering, the leader of the information department came.

"Hey, it looks like the three of you had a good chat, why don't you chat for a while? I still have a meeting over there"

Cao Guowei hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, Director Liu, we are here, if you have anything to say, just say it."

After taking his seat, Director Liu said with a stern expression: "Before, we slackened the management of the blog, which led to such a serious incident. There are also many people in the society who are responding to related issues, so according to the instructions of the superior department, we will control the blog. , you also have to strictly review blog posts, especially some sensitive topics!"

Shen Lang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. To put it bluntly, the blog's influence was already large enough, even surpassing many online media, and some hot topics in society were discussed very highly, so the superiors decided to stop supervision.

This is also in line with the consistent work process of domestic departments. When new things first appear, they often adopt a stock-raising attitude, and wait until they develop and have a certain impact on society before they are controlled.

This time the "leading brother 777" incident was just a fuse, which accelerated the determination of the higher authorities.

Brother Xiao Ma asked cautiously: "Director Liu, how far will this supervision go?"

Director Liu waved his hand and said sternly: "Severely crack down on all the soil that provides convenience for criminals. Of course, it does not mean that ordinary people have the opportunity to speak, but there must be a scale, especially the current human flesh search, which is too much. You can't use the banner of justice to infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of others."

Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't for YY's log.

To be honest, he also feels that the human flesh search has gone too far recently, and many emotions on the Internet will be infinitely magnified.

Harsh words hurt people in June, and there are many tragedies caused by cyber violence, which should indeed be taken care of.

Coming out of the meeting room, Cao Guowei sighed.

"Oh, this is killing chickens and monkeys."

Shen Lang's heart moved. Just now, Director Liu also said that he will supervise all Internet content products. In addition to blogs, news, search, and audio-visual content will be included. Combined with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that will be established next year, it is not difficult to conclude that conclusion.

Not long after returning to Shanghai, the Information Department made an announcement.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and Internet companies and netizens that had not undergone strict review before were all blown up.

Especially Google, they were very reluctant to monitor data before entering the mainland market, and even set up their servers in Hong Kong for a time.

Li Kaifu even found Shen Lang and wanted to cooperate with some Internet companies to "negotiate" with the higher authorities. Shen Lang looked at him like a fool, and sent him out of Building [-] with nice words.

Good guy, I really think of this as the United States, and even in the United States, if the government wants to supervise your data, you have to do it.

In contrast, Li Yanhong expressed his cooperation happily.

Shen Lang also specially gathered the company's executives for a meeting.

"I know that the management has been relatively loose before, and it will be a bit uncomfortable if it is suddenly tightened, but everyone must be clear that the supervision is helping us, otherwise, if there is a problem, it may be a disaster for the entire industry if it is investigated. I believe everyone hasn’t forgotten about the YY voice before, right?”

Yu Liang's heart trembled when he heard YY Voice. As the person in charge of YY Voice, he had lingering fears. The entire industry was turned upside down almost overnight. If Shen Lang hadn't re-arranged a project for him, he would have lost his job directly.

After completing the ideological work, Shen Lang continued.

"Regarding the content of the audit, we need to have a complete set of evaluation standards internally. I don't want netizens to say that our company uses the method of blowing paper to conduct audits. In addition, the number of blog posts published by YY Diary every day is really too much , the use of manual review will inevitably affect the timeliness of blog content.”

For a moment, everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Xiaochuan, and Shen Lang was delighted to see this.

"Mr. Wang, you see everyone is looking at you, do you know what to do?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wang Xiaochuan said with a bitter face: "Understood, give me a week, and I will develop an intelligent review system, but this review system is only limited to blocking some sensitive words, and some socially sensitive events cannot be distinguished, so we can only rely on manual review .”

Shen Lang nodded and looked at Wang Xing: "Mr. Wang, I will leave this matter to you. A group of people will be dispatched from the editorial team of YY diary to review it."

Wang Xing's face was even uglier than Wang Xiaochuan's: "Mr. Shen, there are now millions of blog posts uploaded in YY's daily log, and my team can't get so many people to review it."

Shen Lang knew that Wang Xing was not evasive. After all, many bloggers have never experienced the era of content control. They don't know what can be written and what can't be written. Otherwise, some prohibited content will be brought out.

"How about this, you sort out some content that cannot be written, and then let the programmers add a small screening program in the background, so that bloggers can find out and modify it when uploading."

Wang Xing's eyes lit up when he heard it: "This method is good, it can save us a lot of trouble."

Shen Lang thought for a while and reminded: "Just one screening is not enough, you'd better formulate a patrol inspection system, and all popular blog posts must be reviewed manually."

Only highly popular blog posts can form influence, and those blog posts with little pageviews will not have much impact even if they contain some prohibited content, so there is no need to worry too much.

In the following period of time, due to the continuous tightening of supervision, many websites were required to rectify because of various prohibited content, and "human flesh search" became the top priority of this crackdown.

What makes Shen Lang more regretful is that this wave of actions did not have much impact on the video websites, and pirated content is still rampant. It seems that the higher authorities have no intention of tightening the copyright of film and television for the time being. They just ordered some video websites to be removed from the shelves and some banned. Content.

The same is true for music copyrights. Except for some popular Internet songs that have reaped some benefits due to the rise of the emerging business of CRBT, most record companies can only survive by sucking the blood of singers.

The Chinese music scene also began to decline from this time, and the era of fighting between gods and gods is quietly leaving.

This turmoil has little impact on large Internet companies. It is more affected by some small websites. In the era of loose regulation, these small websites have gained some loyal users by relying on some borderline content. With strict supervision, borderline content has been After the ban, they naturally lost the users they depended on for survival, and went bankrupt one after another.

At this time, the glory of the three major portal websites has also come to an end. In addition to Netease relying on the development and growth of the online game business and its profits soaring, Sina and Sohu have shown signs of exhaustion.

Even NetEase can only maintain high profitability, and has gradually lost the right to speak on the mainland Internet.

On the contrary, Baidu, Penguin, Ali, and Inspur came from behind, and a new era has quietly arrived.

These four companies are also nicknamed "BATL" by netizens, representing the first echelon of the Internet in the Mainland.

Although Chen Tianqiao was very unhappy about this, at this time Shanda had already lost the qualification to be equal to Shen Lang and others.

Time soon came to October. On this day, Shen Lang got up early, but he didn't go to the company, but went to the campus of Dongdae University.

"Haha, Boss Shen is looking forward to you." Principal Li enthusiastically held Shen Lang's hand and shook it vigorously.

Shen Lang smiled: "Alma mater's anniversary, you said hello so long in advance, I naturally want to come to join in."

Principal Li patted Shen Lang's arm with satisfaction, and then led him to the school meeting place. Along the way, he specially introduced to Shen Lang the changes in Dongda University in the past two years.

Shen Lang echoed a few words from time to time, and soon came to the backstage of the venue, where many students were waiting in makeup, and the school celebration naturally had a talent show.

Soon, the appearance of Shen Lang and Principal Li attracted the attention of the students.

"Hey, is that Shen Lang?"

"Fuck, it's really true, hurry up and take a photo, I'm going to post a YY diary."

"Wow, this is the Internet upstart? It is said that he has only been in business for a few years, and his net worth is tens of billions."

"What about the upstarts? That's old history, and now he is a well-deserved giant, BATL knows?"

"BATL? What do you mean?"

"It's Baidu, Ali, Penguin, and Inspur. These four companies have controlled all aspects of search, e-commerce, instant messaging, and cultural entertainment. Their products will be used wherever they go online."

Principal Li joked to Shen Lang: "I didn't expect you to be so popular among the classmates. It seems that it is right to invite you this time."

Shen Lang shrugged helplessly: "Students are not interested in me, but in my aura, right?"

"Haha, it's all the same, fame and fortune are not separated, isn't that what you want in life?" Principal Li did not shy away.

About half an hour later, the celebration of Dongda University officially began. Thousands of students gathered in the gymnasium. Shen Lang was also arranged in the first row as a guest of honor. Several main leaders of the school were sitting beside him, and there was a school newspaper from time to time. The reporter came to take pictures, which made Shen Lang a little uncomfortable.

In the middle of the school celebration activities, it was Shen Lang's turn to give a speech as an outstanding alumnus. The host naturally praised Shen Lang's deeds, and the students at the scene also praised Shen Lang for his creation just a few years after graduation. The deeds of the huge Internet empire are very curious.

Amid the applause, Shen Lang walked slowly towards the rostrum, adjusted the microphone, and Shen Lang put his hands on the speaking seat.

"Thank you for the applause from the students. I just walked up from below and felt that my steps were floating. Fortunately, I am not light, otherwise I would just float up and fly away."

"Haha~~~" There was a burst of laughter in the venue.
