Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 396 Win95 finally came out

Just when Lu Changhua received his first-generation ID card, a big event happened in the world.

That is, a certain Microsoft in the United States has released a brand new computer system.

It completely abandoned the dependence of previous operating systems on DOS, added support for multitasking and protected-mode 32-bit program applications, and added a "Start" button through which users can start any program.

A software company spent US$300 million on advertising and promotion of Win95.

The TV spot featured the Rolling Stones' signature jingle "Start Me Up" and had the Empire State Building glow in the colors of the Win95 logo.

The release of Win95 was revolutionary.

It turns the previous operation of inputting commands into a simpler graphical operation.

Making computers something that ordinary people can operate lays the foundation for the popularization of computers.

Because it is bundled with the IE browser for free, it makes it possible for people to surf the Internet!

All of these are historic innovations.

But people at this time did not understand the importance of computer operating systems.

When Lu Changhua got the news, it was already half a month later.

He flew to the capital immediately.

On the computer street in Beijing, he saw the latest computers and the Win95 operating system.

Computer performance at the moment is still very poor.

Both the processor and the hard disk are very rudimentary, and the graphics card is only a few M.

At this moment, the computer I thought was the most awesome.

They released the 586 machine last year.

In fact, it is the Pentium 1 generation.

It's just that the price is too expensive, and it will cost more than 5.

Sales were few.

This year, due to the emergence of Win95, it runs perfectly on a certain high-end machine and the price has dropped slightly.

Now it’s more than 4.

Lu Changhua took it upon himself to operate it.

This Win95 is too primitive.

Many functions and interfaces have not been optimized yet.

There is no Chinese version of the version at this time, they are all English versions.

The Chinese version will not be officially released in China until next year.

It can be said that Lu Changhua came early.

And many of the current English versions are pirated.

After seeing the real thing, Lu Changhua knew that now was not the time to buy.

He went to the relevant units again and inquired about the current situation of the Internet.

At this time, Yinghaiwei has emerged.

In May, Yinghaiwei was established.

Their business strategy is to build a nationwide network.

This strategy cannot be wrong.

It’s just that their own financial strength is not enough.

Lu Changhua saw the registration in the newspaper and asked people about it.

The most famous Internet company in Beijing is Yinghaiwei.

Thinking about it, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

At the beginning, the country had no experience in the development of the Internet and did not know what to do.

At this time, Yinghaiwei appeared.

His first step was to build a network for companies across the country to build websites and access the Internet.

At this moment, there is only one technology network in the country that can be considered to be connected to the international or Internet.

They thought that since there was no domestic network, they would build it themselves.

Eight sub-stations have been built across the country, and network construction has been fully rolled out.

As a result, before they were finished, Posts and Telecommunications invested 70 billion in building 169 national multimedia communication networks.

This time it was knocked down.

Seeing that building the "Baixin Network" could not compete with postal and telecommunications services, they were smart enough to shift their network to the financial field.

Later, Ying Haiwei was gradually out of the market by rising stars.

Even so, Yinghaiwei is also the enlightener of China's first generation of Internet.

It laid the foundation for China’s Internet.

Lu Changhua looked at the newspaper in his hand.

He smiled when he saw the praise of Ying Haiwei in the newspaper.

He knew that Yinghaiwei was a strategic mistake.

Later, a certain fox went in the right direction.

Think about it, if a company actively competes with the state for network construction rights, it will eventually have to connect to the Internet through the state's interface.

Why bother?

If private enterprises still want to do what state-owned enterprises do, aren't they looking for death?
To do business, you must conform to the general trend of policies.

If the state doesn’t support or encourage you, don’t do it.

thankless.

After settling in the capital, Lu Changhua went to Peking University to find Wang Lu.

Wang Lu was pleasantly surprised when she saw her brother-in-law.

Asked about the reason for the capital.

Lu Changhua told the truth.

"I'm here to take a look at the development of the Internet in Beijing."

"Oh, I thought you were here to see me!"

Wang Lu pouted, her face full of disappointment.

"Isn't this here to see you?"

"Yes."

Then she smiled.

Lu Changhua took her to find a restaurant near the school.

After ordering a few dishes, the two of them chatted while eating and drinking.

Since Wang Lu was awakened by Lu Changhua during the Spring Festival, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies.

She also thinks about going abroad for further study after graduation and learning foreign Internet technologies.

When this topic was brought up, Wang Lu asked Lu Changhua to express his views on Win95.

"Have you ever done it in practice?"

"Well, our school has a machine with this system installed."

"This system is revolutionary, do you know why?"

Wang Lu shook his head.

Win95 has just been released in the United States, and the English version is used in China. This thing is considered a high-tech gadget in the eyes of many people. Many domestic experts have not understood it, so there is nothing conclusive about it yet.

At this moment, what Lu Changhua was talking about was something that had been summarized for decades in his previous life.

When he opened his mouth, Wang Lu was a little dumbfounded.

"It is the beginning of the transition of computer systems from command lines to visual fool-like operations, which is groundbreaking and revolutionary."

"Because it enables computer operators to quickly transform from professionals to ordinary people, making it possible to popularize computers. Especially personal PCs in recent years."

"Only when computers become popular and easy to operate, the price of computers will become cheaper. In the future, computers will become a small appliance in every family. Then, the real rise of the Internet will begin."

"Because it is bundled with the Internet Explorer browser, it is possible for people to surf the Internet with this free software."

"Having said so much, the emergence of Win95 is just a beginning. Work hard, Wang Lu. The future belongs to you!"

The brother-in-law's words made Wang Lu's blood boil.She seems to have seen the spring of the Internet in the future.

"Well, since my brother-in-law is here today and has caught up with the release of Win95, I will give you a set. It is my gift to you."

"Oh, brother-in-law, please don't, it's too expensive."

Wang Lu has been running down the streets of Zhongguancun many times.

He and his classmates could only watch with envy.

How can they afford it?

Last year it was more than 5, and this year it will be more than 4.

Much more expensive than their tuition fees.

"It's okay. Your sister has already told me to take good care of you. Let's go, stop being pretentious."

Wang Lu stood up and said coyly: "Brother-in-law, it's too expensive."

"gone."

They took a taxi on the side of the road and arrived at Zhongguancun, not far away.

The specialty store I want is right here.

As soon as he entered, Lu Changhua went to the most expensive one.

It makes sense that the 586 machine is expensive.

Just look at the chassis, which is half as tall as the 486.

The display equipped is not small either.

Looking at the Win95 icon on the monitor, Wang revealed a greedy look.

She really wanted to buy one and study it carefully.

But my family’s conditions don’t allow it.

You know, the three uncles and three aunts all earn wages, so half of their savings will be spent to buy a 586.

Wang Lu didn't dare ask her parents for it.

Although I know that my eldest sister and brother-in-law are rich.

But as a sister-in-law, she still has self-esteem.

Her eldest sister paid for her school fees, so how could she have the nerve to ask for money to buy a computer?
Besides, 5!

These are astronomical figures.

Nowadays, the income of most people in Beijing does not exceed 2000 per month.

A computer and two years' salary without food or water are just a fantasy.

Well now.

The brother-in-law took him and came directly.

"Wang Lu, how about this one?"

"Too, too expensive..."

"Oh, stop talking. This is it."

Lu Changhua turned to the clerk and said, "I want this one, pack it up."

"Ah? Good, good!"

The young man was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Card or cash?"

"Swipe your card."

The “Gold Card Project” was implemented last year.

Bank cards can be used nationwide.

Lu Changhua came to the checkout counter, worked for a while, and finally successfully swiped his card.

"Boy, can you deliver the goods?"

"Where?"

"Ahead, the girls' dormitory of Peking University."

"can."

The young man is very diligent.

Boxed up the computer in no time.

Moved onto the tricycle again.

"Let's go. If you two don't mind, just sit on it."

Wang Lu smiled and said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."

At this moment, all she could do was giggle.

Lu Changhua helped Wang Lu onto the tricycle, and he followed behind.

He helped push the car uphill, and he sat on it and rubbed against the car when it went downhill.

Zhongguancun is really not far from Peking University.

Entered the school soon.

Under Wang Lu's command, he came to her dormitory.

Say hello to the dormitory aunt.

Seeing that they were delivering goods, the aunt let the two men in very enlightenedly.

"Wang Lu, let them come down after delivering the goods, ah!"

"Oh, I see."

How could Wang Lu have the time to explain?

There are several girls in the dormitory.

They are all her classmates.

When I saw someone moving things into the dormitory, I stretched my neck to watch the excitement.

"Wang Lu, what did you buy?"

"Yes, he's quite small!"

"Oh, it's a computer!"

The girls immediately got out of bed.

"Are you ashamed? You've already put on your clothes, and there's someone here!"

Wang Lu saw that her roommates were all big and small, and they didn't avoid any taboos. She was afraid that her brother-in-law would go back and tell her eldest sister, so she turned pale with fear.

"Oh, Wang Lu, you are so stingy, even if you look at it, you won't look bad."

When the young man saw a nest of beauties, his mouth watered.

"Put the computer on."

"Hey, hey."

Only then did the kid react, he quickly opened the packing box, and carried 586 out.

"what!"

"Oh, Wang Lu."

"You really took advantage of it!"

The girls were shocked when the computer was brought out.

They have gone to Zhongguancun many times to look at computers.

But at this price, who can afford it? !

Why did Wang Lu get rich?How could you buy such an expensive computer without making any noise? !

"What did I buy? It was a gift from my brother-in-law."

Wang Lu said with a proud look.

"Oh my! Who is your brother-in-law?"

"Uh, do you still need a sister?"

The dormitory burst into laughter.
