Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

After explaining the domain name issue, Peng Wanhua picked up Zhang Mingming and prepared to take a bath together.

Zhang Mingming was taken aback by the suddenness. She held his arm and said shyly, "Wait a minute, I'll show you something."

"What's so urgent? Let's finish our business first!" Peng Wanhua hugged her and got up.

"No, no, wait a minute." Although Zhang Mingming felt a little hot, she still refused.

He turned on a computer persistently.

This study is located on the first floor. It is an annex to the living room and is shared by the entire family.

The huge study is nearly 300 square meters. Apart from a small tea room, the rest of the area is filled with rows of desks and bookcases.

Zhang Mingming has a desk here with two computers and a printer, which he occasionally uses to print materials.

"What do you want to show me?" Peng Wanhua asked curiously when he saw how serious she was.

She clicked on an icon with the letter W, and a browser popped up.

It says Wanwang Search in the middle, and there is a search input box below.

Further below are categorized areas, such as Mailbox, News, Technology, Sports, Community, Local Services, etc., which display hyperlinks.

There are some ads on both sides.

The one on the left is a picture with a concept map of a real estate project.

The one on the right is an advertisement for the grand opening of Red Star Amusement Park.

Overall, it looked like a combination of the search and portal websites he had encountered in his previous life.

"This is the Wanwang browser we developed!" Zhang Mingming pointed to the web page.

"So fast?"

"Of course!" Zhang Mingming was quite proud.

Peng Wanhua took the mouse, typed in "Search Huachuang" and clicked "Search".

Soon, Huachuang’s official website and some related web pages were displayed one by one.

"not bad."

Peng Wanhua didn't expect that Zhang Mingming would develop the browser and search so quickly.

"It's mainly because you have good ideas and have accumulated some technology in the early stage, so it can be implemented quickly. However, it only supports some keywords now. If it is a long sentence, the search result will not be so satisfactory."

Zhang Mingming explained.

Peng Wanhua nodded. "It's great to have this progress. I'll tell Huaguang and Huaxin to install the HiChina browser when they ship their products. This will help you expand the market."

Peng Wanhua will not promote such a good thing slowly.

He plans to use Huaguang's resources to sell in bundles.

He remembered that in his previous life, the first generation of browser was launched by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.

However, the first generation of browsers were very simple and not beautiful due to technical reasons.

It was not until 1994 that Netscape launched its second-generation browser.

In the second year of its launch, it occupied 90% of the market!

In the 16th month after its establishment, Netscape went public with a loss of more than 1000 million.

As soon as it went public, its market value immediately exceeded 50 billion US dollars!

Taller than an apple!

It became the Internet company with the highest market value and the most valuable at that time!

something unexpected may happen any time.

Microsoft took a fancy to the browser market and immediately built the IE browser into the Windows system.

Netscape was immediately defeated!

Within a few years, Netscape was quickly shut down.

You can imagine the power of the browser built into the operating system!

It is worth mentioning that for many years since then, Microsoft has been sued for monopoly by the up-and-coming Google because of this incident.

In this life, Peng Wanhua relied on his foresight to let Zhang Mingming's team directly develop the second-generation browser and directly bundle it with Huaguang Computer.

It can be expected that with the excellent interface and good usability of HiChina Browser, as well as its operating system bundling, it will surely be popularized quickly.

Peng Wanhua wants to follow Microsoft's path and occupy this market in advance.

"Thank you so much!" Zhang Mingming's eyes lit up when he heard that.

This means that users do not need to download HiChina Browser and can use it directly, which is more user-friendly.

Don't underestimate this little bit of convenience.

Nowadays, many people are computer novices. They don’t know how to install software, let alone download it.

Having a browser built into the operating system means that for every computer sold, the browser has one more user!

"You're welcome. Help me wash my face with facial cleanser later." Peng Wanhua made a gesture of washing his face.

"Wash face?" Zhang Mingming was stunned.

Then she understood, her pretty face turned red, and she gave him a charming look.

Washing your face is not important, the key is the facial cleanser...

"However, you cannot rely solely on this quasi-monopolistic approach to promote your product. You must also continuously optimize your product based on user needs and iterate and update it to make users like it," Peng Wanhua reminded.

He remembered that in his previous life, although Microsoft defeated Netscape with IE, IE was also criticized by users for various inconveniences and was defeated by the aggressive Google.

It was not until more than 20 years later that Microsoft stopped updating IE, and the IE browser came to an end.

The one who defeated IE was not someone else, but Microsoft itself.

"That's for sure." Zhang Mingming nodded.

She naturally understood that bundling was only a short-term promotional method, and if she really wanted to win users, she still had to rely on the product.

Seeing that she understood this principle, Peng Wanhua stopped talking.

Click on the first very conspicuous hyperlink, this link is called Red Star Online.

Once you enter, you will see services in various sections including email, news, finance, real estate, entertainment, music, etc., as well as some advertisements.

"This is Sister Wanqiu's portal website - Red Star Online." Zhang Mingming explained.

In addition to Zhang Mingming, Qin Wanqiu also created a portal website.

This was also decided after the two of them discussed with Peng Wanhua.

Because one portal website simply cannot meet the increasing needs of users.

In the previous life, the four major portals were established to illustrate the problem.

Moreover, Zhang Mingming has technical talent, and Qin Wanqiu has extensive media resources, so it would be a waste not to use them.

Zhang Mingming’s portal website is called HiChina, which is also the homepage of the browser. He recommended Qin Wanqiu’s portal on the homepage.

Qin Wanqiu’s portal website is called Red Star Online.

It is worth mentioning that both email services are connected to Huaxin Mailbox.

When it comes to news and other content, the two companies have different coverage and focus.

Peng Wanhua remembers that in his previous life, the world's first portal website was created by Yahoo in 1994.

Yahoo used this portal website to gain the first huge wave of traffic in the Internet era!

Five years after its listing, Yahoo’s market value soared from US$1996 billion in 10 to US$2000 billion in 1250!

Becoming the one and only giant Internet company at that time!

In this life, under his influence, HiChina and Red Star Online portals were launched two years earlier than Yahoo.

Peng Wanhua even wondered, if Wanwang and Red Star Online went public later, what would the market value be?
