When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

While the Internet was in full swing here in North America, the Internet also exploded in the country on the other side of the Pacific. As early as 1993, the Internet infrastructure had been laid out.

Like North America, there are also root servers here, and there are as many as five. The company that runs the network facilities is CT Company. In addition to the broadband business, another business is the construction of base stations.

The broadband business is entrusted to CM Company and CU Company, while the base station business is leased to two major operators, CM Company and CU Company.

This is an early separation of infrastructure and operators, just like the three major operators later did with the tower companies they funded, but in advance.

Although there is a network connection hardware foundation that is not inferior to that in North America, it cannot bring the Internet into thousands of households. The main reason is that computer equipment is too expensive, and the hardware operation is quite costly every year.

In order to allow more people to use the Internet, Li Bu invested a lot of money to build chain Internet cafes in major cities across the country.

Before 2000, these Internet cafes could be said to have provided Li Bu with a lot of cash, and the computers he produced in large quantities quickly opened up sales, which were much better than the computers that only let you guess.

In the capital city alone, there are [-] such Internet cafes, with an average of [-] computers in each Internet cafe. However, these Internet cafes have reserved space for emergencies.

The first Internet cafe was opened near Sandaokou Technical College in Beijing. It is also the largest Internet cafe in Beijing. There are [-] computers here. At that time, some veterans were hired to act as security guards. A large number of surveillance systems were installed here. , to prevent people from causing trouble, and set up a police box near the Internet cafe.

Internet cafes were still a new thing, attracting the favor of students from Sandaokou Technical College. At this time, the cost of accessing the Internet was six yuan per hour. They opened from [-] a.m. to [-] p.m. and closed from [-] p.m. to the next day. There is an overnight service available at eight o'clock every morning.

Six yuan an hour is already very cheap. Some people may not believe it. In a few years, an hour of surfing the Internet will cost more than ten yuan, and there are no machines for you to surf the Internet.

In the original time and space, before 2000, the price of a computer was more than 2 yuan, or 386, 486, 586. In school at that time, you had to wear shoe covers when entering the computer room, and you had to be careful when turning on the computer. , when using computers at that time, I was very afraid of damaging the computer.

There was no software in it. Later, Windows 95 and Wen Jiuba appeared. At that time, ordinary people could easily get started. Many games appeared, such as Red Alert, Legend of Xianxia and other games, which attracted countless people to play. At that time, there were many black Internet cafes, but none of them had access to the Internet. In an Internet cafe, there were only a few machines with Internet access.

In this Internet cafe opened in Sandaokou Institute of Technology in 1993, Internet access only costs six yuan, which is extremely cheap. Moreover, the Internet here uses a visual system. Unlike DOS, you still need to enter various codes to allow the Institute of Technology to access the Internet. It is an eye-opener for people. As early as a few years ago, there was already a visualization system, but DOS was free.

And many of the software above are very easy to use. For example, after registering with oq, you can chat with people. This is the domestic version of oiq.

There are also many small games, office software, browsers, etc., and there are also people who come specifically to play games, but these all require an oq account to log in.

Soon after, more Internet cafes slowly appeared in the capital, but this was still the largest. Later, the number of computers expanded to [-] computers. There are many people coming here every day, mainly students from nearby. There are There are police and security guards, so gangsters and street gangsters don't dare to come.

Since the people who came here were directly sentenced, no one dared to come over to make trouble. Yes, they were sentenced to stir up trouble and disturb the public order. This was the time to severely crack down on criminal gangs. If there were three or more people, they were considered a gang.

There was a guy who harassed a female student and ended up staying there for six years and was charged with hooliganism; because the Internet cafe interceded on their behalf, otherwise they might have gone to target practice.

Moreover, it is very convenient for them to check information through the Internet, thus attracting more students.

There are softwares available overseas, but you can find the same type here. This is the purpose of this Internet cafe, to allow Chinese people to connect with the world earlier.

Except in the capital, Internet cafes are opened in places with many universities across the country. This is a hardware facility. If it is not perfect, no matter how good your software is and your ideas are advanced, it is just empty talk.

At that time, Li Bu's eldest son Li Jiaren also wanted to open an Internet cafe under such an environment, but it was just to compete with his father. It was just that he was there at the time, but it happened that it hadn't opened yet, because at that time, the production of computers could not keep up. .

On the other hand, just to let you guess the group, their computer sales have been declining recently. A computer that costs 1 to [-] yuan is not as fast as a computer that costs more than [-] yuan. Not to mention the software and games. .

Li Bu's computers use the l-os operating system. Through the efforts of a large number of people, a large number of application software have been developed. Therefore, the computer will not become a computer that can only be viewed but cannot be used because there is no application software.

With the optimization of software and hardware, the speed is of course faster, and the price is only 3000 yuan per unit. Each person is limited to purchasing one unit, because the excess is supplied to Internet cafes.

Some people queued up to get a computer. Some people bought it and gave it away. At first they bought a computer that only made you guess, but the recipient quickly returned it, thinking that he had given it to someone else. Wan's computer not only has nothing on it, but also no application software.

Then they realized they had made the wrong purchase, and bought another computer worth [-] yuan before the other party accepted it.

This is different. At this time, there is no concept of monopoly in China. A large amount of software is bundled with it, and there is no chance for third-party software to develop. Especially the portal website above cooperates with major media across the country to allow them to publish news. On the portal website, those who received the gifts deliberately installed broadband at home. Yes, broadband was available at this time.

But it only looks like one trillion, which makes it very convenient for them to watch the news.

There was no share of Li Bu Computer in state procurement. At that time, they purchased a large amount of electricity and they only let you guess the computers, but most of them were just decorations and had no practical application. We need to support national enterprises.

But Li Bu didn't care. What he cared about was that he made money while quietly doing good deeds, that's all. As for his reputation, it was better to have a smaller one.
