Now that the important things are done, I feel relaxed.
Su Zelin opened QQ and saw a five-digit number, which would be very valuable if he sold it in the future.
A five-digit QQ number could only be applied for in 1998. At that time, Internet cafes were still rare in China, and the high Internet fees also discouraged countless people who were looking for something new to try. Naturally, there were very few Internet users.
However, Su Zelin happened to be one of the earliest Internet users. He was the kind of person who loved to pursue new things, sometimes even at any cost. His family was well-off and his parents gave him a lot of pocket money. Although he had never experienced an Internet cafe that charged 40 yuan per hour, after the fee was reduced to 10 yuan per hour, he stepped into the first Internet cafe and later became a regular customer.
At that time, he felt curious about everything on the Internet. Not long after QQ was launched, he immediately applied to try it out.
If it was one year later, in 1999, you could only apply for a six-digit QQ number, and in 2000, you could apply for a seven-digit QQ number.
If I were reborn in 1998, I would directly apply for a lot of five-digit QQ numbers. A good-looking number could be sold for hundreds of thousands in the future, and a cheap one could be sold for tens of thousands.
The seven-digit QQ number is not valuable, so Su Zelin has no interest in applying for more. Although it is a capital-free investment, the cycle is too long.
The interface of the 2000 version of QQ was extremely simple. It was an online communication software that couldn’t be purer. It didn’t have all the fancy things that later generations had, such as QQ pets, space, stealing vegetables, music… none of these could be seen. Even the QQ signature did not appear until the 2001 version.
This communication software is currently completely free.
Su Zelin couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Penguin was once simple, and it was not the Tencent that later said, "Recharging makes you happy, but having no money to play is useless!"
It was not until the 2002 version that Penguin launched its first value-added service - QQ Show, and the corresponding QQ version was 2002 betaII.
Before launching QQ Show, Penguin had considered whether to charge for chatting. Fortunately, QQ Show earned it its first pot of gold, otherwise it would be hard to say whether there would be a Penguin Empire in the future.
However, compared with the 1998 version of QQ, the functions of the 2000 version have changed a bit, with the addition of pager text messages.
As the name suggests, it can send messages to a pager.
In this era, mobile phones are still very expensive, and many people still use pagers. However, I would guess that 99% of the people here have never used this function.
The custom avatar function has not been launched yet. Su Zelin’s QQ uses the classic avatar of a man wearing sunglasses. In fact, one can roughly infer the personality of a QQ user from the avatar. For example, Su Zelin’s avatar shows that he likes to show off.
This is not the most used avatar. Male netizens, especially young people, prefer another brown-haired boy avatar because it looks more handsome. The most popular one among female netizens is the one with burgundy hair. These two avatars may currently occupy nearly half of QQ users.
The interface popped up, and a bunch of avatars began to jump along with the continuous coughing sound.
For those who have just started using QQ, seeing this scene will make them feel like they have been injected with a shot of chicken blood and become extremely excited.
But Su Zelin, the reborn person, was relatively calm.
Almost all of these messages were left by girls. Su Zelin would naturally not have nothing better to do than add male netizens. There are quite a few guys who like to pretend to be girls on the Internet nowadays. The gender of the netizens can basically match the avatar.
Su Zelin is what people in later generations call a social chatterbox. In real life, he can make the cafeteria lady very happy, and he is even more adept on the Internet.
He is very open-minded and is good at flirting, with a lot of sexy words to say.
This is the opening line when someone adds a new friend.
"Hi!"
"hello!"
"How old are you?"
"Are you a girl?"
"Nice to meet you!"
"… "
After we got to know each other, our second meeting went like this.
"Are you there?"
"Where?"
"What are you doing?"
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"… "
If you want to collect a hundred tips for killing conversation, just survey the first generation of QQ users around the year 2000.
Basically, after a few chats like this, girls won’t reply.
As for Su Zelin's painting style, it is like this.
Just added a new friend.
"Wow, that's great, we caught a little cutie alive!"
Doesn’t this sound awkward and stupid, or even might directly discourage friends from leaving
No, actually not.
Compared to those boring “Hi” and “How are you”, this pick-up line is much more flirty and can immediately leave a deep impression on female netizens.
In fact, in this era, many female netizens are looking for excitement when chatting online. Between mediocre pick-up lines and flirty pick-up lines, many people still prefer the latter.
As for why she is not called a beauty
Because this name is too common, all female babies are called beauties, which is meaningless. People will become numb to it and won't be happy. On the contrary, it is not as playful as "little cutie" and more intimate.
Of course, there will be female netizens who think that such an opening remark is too frivolous and will choose not to reply.
But it doesn't matter.
If there is no reaction, it means the other party is not aggressive enough.
The chances of flirting with these old-fashioned female netizens are too small. There is no need to waste three dollars an hour of precious online time on them. Just delete them directly.
Anyone who can hold off on this opening line and continue talking to you basically has a chance.
Su Zelin calls this technique "precisely defining the target audience."
By the way, choosing an online name is also very important, as sharpening the knife makes the work of chopping wood easier.
For example, Su Zelin’s nickname is “very handsome at one year old”.
Very childish, right
But it's still pretty trendy in this era.
The key is, if you choose this kind of online name, others will not think you are a creepy old man, but a trend-chasing boy, and will easily let down their guard.
Youth is capital, everyone likes to eat young grass!
If you pretend to be profound and make up names like "The wind passes without leaving a trace", "Surpass yourself", "Used to being alone", etc., and think you are profound, in fact, it is difficult for others to judge your age, and they may lose interest in you after seeing your online name.
Choose a good nickname, add more female netizens, cast a wide net and catch more fish, there will always be someone willing to chat with you.
For example, a girl replied: "Hahaha, you are so funny!"
Very handsome at the age of one: "I am not only funny, but also handsome!"
MM: "Come on, stop being so conceited!"
Very handsome at the age of one: "I have no choice, my good genes don't allow me to have low self-esteem. I really envy those who don't know how to be narcissistic. Unlike me, the word 'handsome' runs through my whole life!"
MM: "Pfft, I don't know if you are handsome or not, but you must be very thick-skinned!"
Very handsome at the age of one: "If I don't have a thick skin, how can I protect you from the wind and rain?"
MM: "Hahaha, smooth talker, how old are you?"
One year old is handsome: "How old are you asking?"
MM: "Age, what else?"
Very handsome at the age of one: "Hey, I'm scared. I thought you were so direct."
MM: “???”
After a few seconds.
MM: “Bad guy!”
He was handsome at the age of one: "Okay, since we are so familiar with each other, I will tell you that the answer to both questions is 17."
MM: "I only asked about your age, not anything else. I hate it!"
"… "
After chatting to this extent, you can basically be sure that the girl on the other side is also quite coquettish and easy to flirt with.
But there are occasional challenges.
For example, the second meeting.
MM: “What are you doing?”
This is one of the techniques to kill a conversation, but it only applies to men. Girls have the privilege.
This is a small test for the flirter. If you answer honestly, the topic will become boring if you are not careful.
So you have to take an unconventional path.
One year old is handsome: "I'm making a wish!"
MM: "Making a wish in an Internet cafe?"
Very handsome at the age of one: "Yes, before logging into QQ, I prayed to God, hoping that you would be online. I didn't expect that my wish would really come true!"
MM: “Hahaha, isn’t it ^_^”
Very handsome at the age of one: "If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"
MM: “Okay, I believe you!”
Very handsome at the age of one: "By the way, little cutie, let me tell you something very strange. I woke up this morning and suddenly found that I had grown taller overnight, and the quilt was not long enough!"
MM: "How is that possible? How can someone grow so much taller overnight?"
Very handsome at the age of one: "It is indeed impossible, because I later found out that the quilt was just covering it horizontally!"
MM: "Hahaha, you actually dared to lie to me, you are so bad!"
Very handsome at the age of one: "I used to be very innocent and never lied to anyone. It's all your fault that you led me astray. You have to be responsible for me!"
MM: “Hahaha!”
The third online meeting.
One-year-old is very handsome: "Little cutie, I came to surf the Internet tonight. I was walking alone at night. It was very dark around me. I was so scared just now!"
MM: "Oh, you're still scared, why do I feel like you're pretty brave?"
Very handsome at the age of one: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm so handsome that I'm afraid others won't see it."
MM: “Hahaha!”
One year old is handsome: "It's over, our power is out!"
MM: "How can you still access the Internet when the power is out?"
One-year-old is handsome: "Because I'm chatting with you!"
MM: “What does this have to do with chatting with me?”
Very handsome at the age of one: "You are so charming, maybe this is the power of love!"
MM: “Hahaha!”
"… "
During the chat, you can easily understand what kind of person the other person is, so the chat style should be appropriately spiced up.
If the female netizen is the lively and bold type, then say more flirtatious words and drive a car from time to time. They like this kind of tone.
If she is more sentimental, send her some inspirational messages, and others will regard you as a soulmate in life.
Later, QQ launched the photo sending function, and there are some tricks to asking about photos.
You can't just ask directly, you have to be a little flexible.
"Can you send me a beautiful photo of yourself? I want to prove something to my friend - angels do exist!"
"I dreamed of you last night. Although I haven't seen you yet, you were so beautiful in my dream. I'm sure it must be you. Send me a photo to see if my dream was right!"
"… "
If you are familiar with each other and the other person is good-looking, she will generally be willing to give you a photo. You should keep these high-quality female netizens.
If I refuse politely, Su Zelin will understand.
We have been chatting for so long, it would be embarrassing to delete it suddenly.
But his chat style will change soon.
"Are you there?"
"Where?"
"What are you doing?"
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"… "
If the other party actively contacts you, the reply will be as follows.
"oh!"
"OK!"
"No way?"
"hehe."
"… "
After a few times, it will become a casual relationship.
People with thicker skin may delete the message directly if they realize that the person on the other end is not a beauty.
But even though Su Zelin is a scumbag, he is still very principled. He is used to choosing to take the cold approach so as not to hurt other people's self-esteem too much.
Because he is so good at flirting, there are so many girls who take the initiative to send messages to Su Zelin, and many of them even claim that they want to come to his city to play.
But Hunzi has never met his netizens in real life.
Perhaps it was because she had a childhood sweetheart who was so good-looking that Su Zelin's aesthetic taste was cultivated. She didn't think that any female netizen could compare to Qin Shiqing.
Besides, the picture sending function on QQ had not yet been launched at that time, so I couldn’t get a photo and I didn’t know what the other person looked like.
If it really happened, I might have to press the F key with tears in my eyes.
In my previous life, I had a college roommate who learned the flirty chat technique from Su Zelin and went crazy online. In just four years, he met dozens of netizens, and they were all other people who came to him.
The consequence of being hungry and not choosing what to eat is that you are likely to encounter a tank. However, that guy is also a kind person. His F key is so good that he will not choose to escape just because the other person is a tank. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a model of online love.
However, being too good at flirting can sometimes be a problem, because every time you go online, there will always be a group of girls who will take the initiative to chat with you. Fortunately, most of the female netizens at this time type quite slowly, and the guys who can type blind are like Kato Lin.
His hands were clacking and he was operating like a tiger. He was able to deal with several girls with ease and chat with them happily. Occasionally, he would switch to Lianzhong World to play a few rounds of Landlord or take some time to check out www.().com.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, a girl came over. She had a big afro and large-diameter contact lenses, a typical non-mainstream outfit of that era.
A leopard print tight short belly-baring tank top. Even though her hair hasn't even grown out yet, she's already deliberately showing off her sexiness.
Su Zelin calmly closed the education gateway.
When a girl is around, you still have to have some dignity.
There were not many computers left in the Internet cafe at that time, but there were still three empty seats next to Su Zelin.
The girl looked at him twice, then intentionally or unintentionally sat down on the computer next to her and pressed the power button.
Su Zelin looks cool and handsome, and this type of guy is especially popular among non-mainstream girls. The girls’ choice of him also shows that they have a good first impression of him.
After logging in, the non-mainstream girls also put on big headphones, opened Winamp, and then logged into QQ.
She was obviously a newbie who had just started typing. She typed very slowly. She stared at the keyboard, searching for a long time before finding the letters, then used her left and right index fingers to poke slowly.
It took her a while to reply to netizens' messages, and her attention turned to Su Zelin.
I saw the gangster holding a cigarette and puffing smoke, staring at the screen while typing skillfully with his fingers as fast as the wind, and using keyboard shortcuts to switch between various softwares smoothly.
The non-mainstream girl stared with her eyes wide open, she had never seen such a "high-end" operation before.
"Handsome guy, you are amazing, you type so fast!"
Su Zelin was tickled by her.
He has heard a lot of compliments about himself.
"Handsome guy, you are awesome, you play the game so well!"
"Handsome guy, you are awesome. You can drink a lot!"
"Handsome guy, you are so amazing. You can drive a Ferrari with one hand!"
"Handsome guy, you are awesome. It's already been two hours!"
"… "
And so on.
But it was the first time that Su Zelin heard someone praise his typing speed.
Damn the sense of age!
