Haizhou Hotel.
Four people sitting in a private room are already very empty, and the table is surprisingly large. If the four people sit apart, they will have to shout to talk.
Simply, four people sit next to each other.
Li’s father, Li’s mother, Li Mu, and then Chen Wan.
Chen Wan was happy, mainly because she had relieved a psychological burden. After a comprehensive examination, it was found that Li Mu was indeed fine, except for the scratch on his forehead that seemed to affect the boy's original handsome appearance.
Li's father and Li's mother originally didn't want Chen Wan to spend money on the treat, but Chen Wan kept saying that he should, and Li Mu agreed with a natural expression. The two couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to come.
Fortunately, Li's mother was kind enough to go home and get some clean clothes for Li Mu while Li Mu and the others were waiting for the results, so Li Mu could sit next to Chen Wan and talk nonsense with her like a human being.
"To be honest, after I got hit today, I feel like my brain is particularly bright. I used to get 90 to 100 points in English, but today I feel like I can get over 120 points."
"Really?" Chen Wan's eyes almost popped out.
Li Mu nodded: "Really."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Dad Li laughed and scolded: "If you don't get 120 points in the exam, see how I deal with you!"
Li Mu said seriously: "Dad, if I don't get a score of 120, my son will not be able to enter our house in the future."
"Don't say that." Ma Li on the side said quickly: "Son, it doesn't matter how good or bad you are in the exam, I only have your son."
Li Ma said seriously, Chen Wan was suppressing a smile and her pretty face was as red as a blush. Li Mu sighed: "My mother doesn't believe me, well, we will wait and see when the college entrance examination results are announced."
Dad Li immediately agreed: "Son, if you can get 120 in English, dad will give you a laptop!"
These days, any laptop costs about 10,000 yuan, which is almost as much as Father Li’s own salary for a year.
Li Mu knew that his family's current savings were probably not that large.
As a coder who has been a technical programmer for more than ten years, he naturally desperately hopes to have a computer of his own. However, he cannot ask his parents for this computer.
In fact, Li Mu has made up his mind to find a way to earn not only the computer, but also the tuition, miscellaneous fees and living expenses for his first year of college during this summer vacation.
So, Li Mu said boldly: "Dad, you don't need to give me the notebook. I earn it myself during the summer vacation."
As a reborn person, if you don’t have the ability to make this much money in a summer vacation, you are really sorry for the world.
But Li Mu's words made the three people around him stunned.
In 2001, employees in state-owned enterprises with good profits only earned a monthly salary of just over 1,000 yuan. How could a high school graduate earn 10,000 yuan in two months
Facing three pairs of extremely surprised and distrustful eyes, Li Mu said without any joking, "I'm serious and I'm sure."
Chen Wan couldn't help but ask: "Classmate Li Mu, I'm very curious, how are you going to make money for a laptop in two months? I bought a laptop at the beginning of the year, and it seems to cost more than 20,000 yuan."
Chen Wan is not showing off her wealth, she is just reminding Li Mu that it is easy to blow the cowhide, but it is a technical job to blow it without blowing it up.
"You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I'm sure."
He spoke very confidently, but when he calmed down and analyzed it, Li Mu's heart went cold.
In 2001, the Internet was still an infant. No one could guess what kind of pattern the Internet would develop into in the future, except Li Mu.
Moreover, no one can guess the technological direction of the Internet and mobile Internet in the future, except Li Mu.
This is why Li Mu dared to brag in front of his parents and Chen Wan.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Mu realized that in this day and age, it is not difficult to make money using the Internet, but the possibility of making quick money is very low.
Hao123, which will be valued at tens of millions in the future, was established as early as 1999 and has been in operation for more than two years now. It has a solid foundation. Moreover, even if it wants to be acquired by Baidu, it will have to wait for another three years. If you now If you build another navigation website, it will take a year or two at the earliest to catch up with hao123, and you won’t be able to make quick money;
Tencent QQ has millions of users. Even if it can develop a better similar software, it will take about half a year just to write the code. After all, the workload of programming is extremely huge for one person to develop a software. It takes half a year to develop the software. I don’t have any money for promotion. After all, Tencent has begun to take shape now, and Ma Huateng is a super imitation master. I can’t beat him at all, so I can’t make quick money;
Not only QQ, but also many later generations of software, Li Mu can't do it now. Not to mention that he doesn't even have a computer. Even if he is given a top-end computer from later generations, the code still has to be typed out character by character, let alone The subsequent promotion and operation, even if one person can do it, will take years and still not make quick money;
Even if we imitate Cai Wensheng now and register a bunch of Shuangpin domain names and slowly sell them after 2005, it will not be so easy. First of all, Cai Wensheng has already started to register a large number of Shuangpin domain names with Xinhua Dictionary. I guess he The only domain names I haven't thought of yet are Weibo, WeChat, and Taobao, which are new and popular terms that haven't appeared yet, so I still can't make quick money.
All he could think of at the moment were projects that would take several years to incubate, but the deadline he set for himself was only two months.
After feeling so passionate, Li Mu suddenly felt like he was losing his temper.
Li Mu suddenly thought, if he were asked to make a keyword list for the world in 2001, what would he come up with
Bush's inauguration, the 911 incident, WTO accession, successful Olympic bid, national football team qualifying, NetEase suspension, Internet bubble...
Because it was so old, all Li Mu could think of were some sensational events, mostly international and current affairs. It was basically impossible for him to make money from these.
The three people next to them were eating, but Li Mu was frowning in a daze.
He felt as if he had overlooked something, which seemed very crucial, but he couldn't catch it for a while.
At this time, Chen Wan found a way for Li Mu: "Actually, computers are not very useful for learning. There is no need to buy them so early. Nowadays, the only way to buy computers is to surf the Internet and play games."
"Game?" When Li Mu heard these two words, his eyes instantly turned on like light bulbs!
Damn it, why did you forget the key point of the game!
Li Mu was so excited that he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Chen Wan's left hand. He held her soft and boneless hand and shook it vigorously a few times: "Sister Wan, what you said is so right!"
