Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 304 Witness History
Masato Takeshita simply said a few words about business matters and then quickly changed the subject.

Today is a day for traveling with your lover, and you can’t let him/her take the spotlight.

"The red leaves over there are beautiful, shall we go for a walk?"

"Hongye, great, I just happened to have my camera with me."

The young man didn’t really like taking photos, but since his girlfriend really wanted to do so, he naturally chose to comply.

"OK, let the security guards at the back take a picture for us."

"Yeah, okay."

The park is not very big. Even if two people stroll leisurely, it will take half an hour to walk around the park.

"The shops on the street should all be open, let's go."

"No problem, I'll be your shopping rack today."

"You're exaggerating. I only bought a few."

Lin Qingqian felt a little embarrassed and gave her boyfriend a light pinch.

"Yeah, I was exaggerating. Let's just go faster and visit more places."

"Ah."

With security personnel around, the young man will only act as a shelf for a short period of time. But between lovers, similar little romance is needed.

After walking around for more than two hours, Masato Takeshita's legs felt a little sore.

The girl then said something that was extremely beautiful to the young man, "It's already noon, let's go eat something first."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

The young man looked at his lover happily with a joyful smile on his face.

Great, I can finally be free.

Most men don't like shopping.

The lunch was very sumptuous, consisting of modified Shandong cuisine from Beijing.

He didn't have any other feelings, just that it was delicious and suited his taste. The young man even had the urge to recruit him from Japan to be his home chef.

After lunch and a short rest, Lin Qingqian enthusiastically took him for a stroll.

This time, Masato Takeshita finally found his savior. He pointed at the Galaxy Internet Cafe in the distance with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey, is that our company's internet cafe over there? Do you want to go check it out?"

"Okay, let's go check it out."

The girl didn't want her lover to be too tired, so she also wanted to find a place to rest.

Since my boyfriend has already found a place, I naturally choose to agree.

Masato Takeshita pushed open the door and took a quick glance to find that the first floor, which had about forty or fifty computers, was almost full.

"Business is really good. There are so many people on a weekday afternoon."

"Well, everyone wants to experience the latest news of the times."

The Internet is the most fashionable science and technology in the world today, and countless people want to experience it.

Although the prices at Internet cafes are not cheap, it is still much more cost-effective than buying a computer and pulling your own network cable.

This is also a major advantage of cooperating with the telecommunications department, which can save a lot of broadband costs.

"Please open two temporary cards for me, each for 2 hours. Then get two bottles of Nai Xue."

Nayuki is a new milk tea drink launched by Xinghai Life. It has a sour and sweet taste and is more suitable for girls.

"Okay, that's 38 yuan."

"Well, here it is."

The network administrators in charge of cashiering at Galaxy Internet Cafe are all pretty ladies, and their purpose is to attract more people to go online.

The young man was a little surprised, but when he thought of his girlfriend beside him, he finally controlled his emotions.

"Thank you. Here is your account number and change. The password is 123456. If you two want a better seat, there are vacancies on the second floor."

The young lady was very polite and had a sincere smile on her face. She must like this job very much.

But this is normal. In order to motivate employees' enthusiasm for work, the network administrator of Galaxy Internet Cafe not only has a fixed salary of up to 500 yuan, but also has a certain commission on Internet fees.

Last month's salary has already been paid out, with the network administrators making as little as 800 yuan and as much as 1000 yuan.

At that time in China, he was definitely a high-income earner, earning twice the average salary in Shanghai.

I earn a lot, and my workplace is very upscale, so my smile is naturally more genuine.

"learn."

There are indeed not as many people on the second floor as on the first floor, but it is still equally full.

In addition, there is another notable feature here, that is, there are more female players.

Masato Takeshita took his lover to a place where there was no one and quickly entered his account number.

The online content of Galaxy Internet Cafes is similar all over the world, mainly games and chat rooms.

The games are all stand-alone games purchased by Xinghai Entertainment, such as "Bomberman" from Anderson and "Tank War" from Namco.

Xinghai Entertainment even used the relationship between its chairman and Isao Okawa to buy a batch of old arcade game copyrights from Sega.

But the most important thing is its own games, such as "Snowman Brothers".

As for the chat room, it is similar to the QQ group in later generations.

This thing first appeared in the 70s. After being optimized by Xinghai Software, it can now accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

Players from all over the world can speak freely here.

In addition, a very famous BBS in the previous life was also established.

However, the BBS, or forum, launched by Galaxy Internet Cafe is not the backward product of the past where online communication is impossible and one person has to leave the site immediately after posting something. Instead, it is similar to the Tianya Forum in the past where online communication is possible.

In addition to these projects, Xinghai Software also developed forums, blogs and email under the guidance of young people.

These things will be launched next year or the year after, enriching users' online experience.

There is also the browser project, which Xinghai Software is also intensively developing.

However, he knows very little about it and it is still unknown when the product will be available.

If it really doesn't work, just wait for Netscape to appear, then disassemble Xinghai Software and optimize and imitate it.

This is also a step that many Internet companies are taking. Among them, Pony Ma should be the best at it, and in the early stages he imitated it at a pixel level.

Of course, Microsoft abroad is also very good at it.

Therefore, Microsoft later became notorious abroad, and Bill Gates, the world's richest man, was denounced as a devil.

Most people with simple moral values would hate this behavior even if it were legal.

"Hey, what's your name?"

The girl couldn't help laughing when she saw the young man's name on the Galaxy Forum.

"Funny, isn't it? I'm a celebrity on the Galaxy Forum now."

Although the youth online forum has not been online for a long time, it is indeed well-known because of its good name.

There are always villains who want to harm me. This is really in line with the Internet culture, and it is a dimensionality reduction attack on users at this time.

"Humph, with your ID, it's hard not to be famous."

"It's a must, this is what I want."

The young man then ignored his girlfriend and started chatting with netizens.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ma doesn't play Huiduo.com BBS anymore?"

The young man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the familiar ID in the forum.

In his previous life, Xiao Ma Ge was a loyal user of Huiduo.com BBS. Later, he felt unsatisfied and even built his own well-known website - Mazhan, which had 8 computers and 4 network cables.

Of course, all this money was earned by our little brother Ma himself, and he didn't rely on his family at all. After all, as early as during his internship in college, he wrote his own software and then sold it for 5 yuan.

Although he is not as legendary as Lei Jun, he is also an expert in technology.

In addition, Pony Ma founded Tencent in his previous life with his own money.

He is not only a technical expert, but also a stock trading expert, who has earned more than 70 yuan through stock trading.

All I can say is that a capable person is a capable person. Even if his business fails, he can still live a prosperous life easily.

At the worst, you can join a well-known large company and become a technical expert or product manager with an annual salary of over a million.

As for ordinary people's sour families, it does help to a certain extent, but it does not play a decisive role.

The Internet industry values your own abilities more than so-called relationships.

"Forget it, never mind. Now is a rare time to relax."

Young people go to forums mainly for entertainment, so they like keyboard politics the most.

Because his views are sharp and seem very similar to those of the real person, he has a large number of supporters.

Of course, there are also many people who oppose it.

There's nothing I can do about it, it's his fault for liking to expose Yilin's little stories.

Yes, Yilin-style short stories were already popular in China in the 90s.

Masato Takeshita really disliked this kind of evil trend and naturally wanted to ridicule it.

In addition, he also likes to join in the fun in the field of technology.

Since I saw someone who looks like Xiao Ma Ge today, I might as well post a message and chat with him.

“Why is the Internet the future?”

After coming up with a very attractive name, Masato Takeshita began to express his views with great eloquence.

The core element is that the Internet can connect people all over the world and greatly reduce communication costs.

Anything that can reduce costs will naturally develop.

In addition, he also simply expressed his optimism about several Internet tracks.

First, communication.

Second, selling things.

Third, content.

This can be regarded as an enlightenment for the vast number of Chinese programmers, and I hope they can have Internet thinking earlier.

If Xinghai Group wants to make a difference in the Internet field, it cannot do without the support of Chinese power.

Japan's population is too small to withstand the US global offensive.

As for completely occupying the United States, that can only be a dream. Even if you have it for a short time, you will eventually lose it.

Japan is not China and does not have such strong ability to withstand pressure. It can have a certain influence in the United States, but it cannot become the mainstream.

Soon after it was published, this post was seen by everyone.

"The host is very talented. After reading it, I feel that what he said makes a lot of sense."

"Selling things, I don't think this works. Who would be stupid enough to buy something online without knowing whether the product is good or not."

"I think it's pretty good. If there's anything that sells online, I'll definitely try it."

"I don't know much about selling things, but I think communication and chatting are very interesting. Isn't it because of this track that we can chat with each other now?"

When Masato Takeshita saw the forum ID with "pony horse" written on it, he was suddenly shocked.

Pony Ma is Pony Ma, he is naturally compatible with the social track.

In my previous life, I loved Huiduo.com BBS so much that I couldn’t get enough of chatting on other people’s sites, so I built my own website to chat.

And because of work, I also wrote down the steps and asked my mother who doesn’t understand technology to help manage it.

Later, after coming into contact with ICQ, he also suggested that the company take this path. He is simply the chosen one in the social field.

He couldn't help but type and ask, "Oh, do you think chatting and communicating is interesting?"

"Hey, I'm honored to be noticed by the Emperor."

The user with the ID of pony horse made a little joke and then typed in an admission.

"Yes, I was shocked when I came into contact with Huiduo.com, and the Galaxy Forum was the second time."

The young man ignored the joke and continued to ask, "Is your Huiduo.com also called this?"

"Well, my last name is Ma, and then I took this name."

It’s confirmed, this person is Pony Ma, China’s most influential Internet leader.

Then the two of them happily chatted about many social topics.

It was mainly Takeshita Masato who typed and said, and Xiao Ma Ge read it. But Xiao Ma Ge's occasional opinions also made the young man's eyes light up.

Although still young, he has already shown the potential to be an excellent top product manager.

Of course, it could also be that he had preconceived notions.

"It's the first time I chatted with someone for so long on the forum. I'm very happy. I hope we can have a chance to chat again next time."

The Galaxy Forum is still the simplest version, with only the most basic postings, and then everyone replies and communicates.

As for private messages, following, and adding friends, there are none of those.

However, Xinghai Software is already debugging intensively, and these functions will be launched one by one in the future.

It is estimated that the world's earliest batch of online opinion leaders will be born in the Galaxy Forum.

"Well, I have to be busy too. Bye, we'll talk again when there's a chance."

If Masato Takeshita had an appreciative attitude towards Xiao Ma Ge, then Xiao Ma Ge was full of admiration for the young man.

I didn't expect that there are people in this world who know so much about the Internet.

He couldn't help but call his good friend.

"Tony, I found a master on the Galaxy Forum who has a very deep understanding of the Internet. The post is about why the Internet is the future. You can also go and take a look."

To Chinese people in the 90s, foreign countries seemed like paradise.

Influenced by this, white-collar workers like to give themselves English names.

For example, Pony played by Xiao Ma Ge and Tony played by Zhang Zhidong.

"No problem, I'll go and see."

Zhang Zhidong hadn't expected his friend to call with this question, but he didn't object. He was now curious about what had captivated his friend so much.

Afterwards, Xiao Ma Ge called his online friend Ding Sanshi.

Speaking of which, in their previous life, Xiao Ma Ge and Ding Sanshi became online friends, and it was only a few years later that they became friends in person.

In this life, we became friends early on because we had a great time chatting on the Galaxy Forum.

I can only say that this world is really wonderful.

"Pony recommended it so the content must be good."

Like Xiao Ma Ge, Ding Sanshi was also a newcomer who had just graduated from college. He was full of curiosity about this new thing called the Internet and couldn't wait to search for it on his computer.

"It's a very interesting article. The Internet is ultimately for people. Whatever people need, that's what services will appear on the Internet."

"If an industry is developed in the real world, similar industries will appear online."

"But the Matthew effect is more obvious online, and only a few giants will emerge in the end."

Ding Sanshi was also amazed by the article and couldn't wait to take out a pen and paper. This post was simply a beacon of the Internet and he had to copy it down.

Soon, more users noticed this hot post and started typing comments to express their opinions.

The first mythical post after the establishment of the Galaxy Forum was born.
