With the popularity of the New Century Internet Cafe Cup CS team competition, the New Century Forum has also attracted the attention of a large number of college students in China Overseas.
This forum has become the only BBS that all Chinese college students know.
Now is the stage when there are many BBSs. Sometimes a school has several BBSs, one official and N private ones.
Therefore, the users of BBS forums are also very divided. Basically, each forum has a small group of people gathered together, and it is difficult for anyone to expand the scale.
However, because this competition is well-known among universities in China and overseas, the New Century Forum has also become the object of everyone's attention.
Soon, a lot of people gathered in the forum.
Many people posted, chatted and trolled here, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic.
Since we are all college students with different schools and majors, our communication here is very harmonious and we have a common language.
In addition to exchanging CS-related content in the forum, Xu Yiyang also began to guide everyone to flood the chat area.
The content of irrigation is varied, it can be various exchanges, or it can be a complete chat.
Xu Yiyang posted a casual post, asking how many college students liked Michael Jackson. As a result, hundreds of people responded to the post, all expressing their love for Michael Jackson.
Xu Yiyang realized that the common topic stimulated everyone's enthusiasm for chatting, so he immediately posted a post: "Anyone who grabs the 8th floor, the 58th floor, the 108th floor, the 158th floor, and so on in this post can get a Michael Jackson tape. There are ten plates in total, first come, first served!”
In the text of the post, Xu Yiyang said that he is one of the owners of the New Century Internet Cafe. This post is absolutely true and valid. Anyone who grabs the designated floor will get a redemption code. The redemption code can be used to redeem the tape at the New Century Internet Cafe the day after tomorrow!
Everyone had never played this kind of game before, and since the other party was a supervisor, his words should be credible, so they all came in and left messages.
The 8th floor was quickly occupied, followed by the 58th floor, the 108th floor, the 158th floor...
You have nothing to lose by leaving a message, but what if you get it
In less than an hour, the floors had reached hundreds of floors, and the ten tapes were already full, but people were still replying.
Xu Yiyang found that everyone liked this kind of game very much, so he posted two more teaser posts: "Tomorrow at 7 o'clock, ten cassettes of Pu Shu's "I Go to 2000" are waiting for you to grab!"
"At seven o'clock the day after tomorrow, ten New Century Internet Cafe ten-yuan experience cards are waiting for you to grab!"
"At seven o'clock the day after tomorrow, twenty free all-night tickets at the New Century Internet Cafe are waiting for you to grab!"
Even for the preview post, a large number of users left messages. In addition to replies of support and expectations, many people praised the Internet cafe for being so generous and thoughtful. They must come to the Internet cafe to check it out and leave messages.
The buddies who slept together and Shen Lele didn't know what the traffic on the forum represented, but they were very excited to see so many people coming to discuss it enthusiastically. This represented everyone's admiration for the New Century CS team's competition.
Xu Yiyang decided to regularly use this method of grabbing properties in the forum to release some small gifts in order to maintain the popularity of the forum.
Forums are like an online home for users. Although the operation methods and functionality of each forum are quite different, what everyone really cares about is the core of the forum, whether everyone can find a place to belong in the forum. Feeling is the key to attracting people to stay here for a long time.
Just think of places like Tianya Community and Diba. What really attracts users is the atmosphere and feeling inside.
As long as you provide a good user experience, the forum will become more and more popular.
At the same time, the other six people, at Xu Yiyang's request, each became a super moderator, and they were required to actively reply to posts regularly and supervise the content posted.
All of a sudden, the New Century Internet Cafe Forum became very popular among the college students in Zhonghai.
More and more college students are coming here to make friends, make friends, and chat, and the popularity has skyrocketed.
At first, it was just boys, but as word of mouth spread among classmates, many female students also came to the New Century Internet Cafe Forum to register accounts and join in the fun.
So Xu Yiyang opened a new section: "Academic Exchange" and "Flea Market".
"Academic Exchange" is a large section, which adds many popular courses in popular majors, each of which is divided into a separate section. Although it is not popular yet, Xu Yiyang believes that in the future, with the exchange content and academic useful information With the accumulation, the popularity will definitely increase.
As for the flea market section, it became popular as soon as it opened.
The overall matching degree among college students for the replacement and sale of second-hand items is very high.
What college students sell are either some daily necessities that everyone can use, or some electronic products that most people are interested in, such as mobile phones, walkmans, CD players, acoustic guitars, etc.
There is another big category, which is teaching materials and teaching aids.
As soon as this section went online, many people posted second-hand product information, some were selling it, and others were looking to buy it. Because everyone is in China Overseas, this kind of second-hand transaction can be done directly offline, and the security has been improved a lot.
However, Xu Yiyang posted a special reminder at the top of the section, hoping that everyone would try to trade on campus for safety reasons, and also hoped that everyone would try to check the depreciation and usage of second-hand items.
When the college students at Zhonghai were immersed in finally finding an interesting communication forum, Xu Yiyang sent Liu Mingchao's team five thousand yuan.
The market price for building a forum is only three to two thousand yuan, but Xu Yiyang asked them to help build an Alibaba homepage last time, so he gave a little more.
Liu Mingchao was originally unwilling to accept anything, but Xu Yiyang still insisted on giving it.
On Monday, Xu Yiyang went to the Internet cafe early in the morning to reconcile his accounts.
At noon, the owner of Electronic City brought people to the Internet cafe to deliver and install the goods.
With ten new machines installed, the number of computers in the New Century Internet Cafe has reached 100, making it the largest one within a few kilometers.
Xu Yiyang told the network administrator that the ten computers upstairs should not be used by guests until the game is over.
After settling the matter at the Internet cafe, Xu Yiyang suddenly received a call from Hu Bingwen.
As soon as the phone call came through, Hu Bingwen smiled and joked: "Xu Yiyang, I heard that you are doing a lot of business these days!"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, please don't tease me, it's just an Internet cafe."
Hu Bingwen said: "All the teachers and students in the school know about it, and the momentum of your game competition is also very huge, and your actions are not small!"
Xu Yiyang asked: "Mr. Hu, this won't violate any school discipline, right?"
"That's not true." Hu Bingwen said: "The main thing is to remind you that making money is very meaningful, but don't delay your studies."
Xu Yiyang immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I know what's going on."
Later, Xu Yiyang asked again: "Are you back from abroad?"
Hu Bingwen hummed and said, "I'm back."
After saying that, he asked again: "Do you have time to have a meal with me, an old man, in the evening?"
Xu Yiyang said: "Okay, I'll just wait for you to come back from abroad. I'll have the chance to treat you to dinner."
"Oh, I'll invite you!" Hu Bingwen said with a smile: "See if it's convenient for you to invite your little girlfriend too."
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Little girlfriend? Where did you hear this rumor?"
Hu Bingwen said: "When I was abroad, I heard that there was a college entrance examination champion who was admitted to Tsinghua University and came to our China Overseas Chinese Overseas College for you. Isn't that your little girlfriend?"
Xu Yiyang said hurriedly: "We are good friends and good classmates. Please don't talk nonsense."
Hu Bingwen groaned and said, "Call her too. I just have something I want to tell you two."
"Both of us?"
"Yes." Hu Bingwen smiled and said, "It's a good thing."
Xu Yiyang said hurriedly: "Ah, no, no! Mr. Hu, Shen Lele doesn't know that I came in through special recruitment. She thought I came in through examination. Logically speaking, I shouldn't know you."
Hu Bingwen said: "People have known about it for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yiyang asked, "How do you know?"
Hu Bingwen said: "When she was about to give up Tsinghua and come to China Overseas, I called her. I heard that she was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Yingzhou, and I thought of you. Then I asked her if she knew you, and she said she was the same as you. High school classmates."
"I'll go...what the hell..." Xu Yiyang blurted out subconsciously: "Did she know before she came that I was specially recruited?"
"That's right." Hu Bingwen asked in surprise: "Are you still hiding this from her?"
Xu Yiyang slapped his forehead.
He indeed never told Shen Lele about this matter.
At first, he pretended to take the college entrance examination and filled in a volunteer.
Shen Lele suddenly came to China Overseas, and he thought that Shen Lele would not know that she was specially recruited.
Moreover, Shen Lele never mentioned this incident, so he took it for granted that Shen Lele was still in the dark.
But he really didn't expect that Shen Lele had known about it for a long time.
I already knew this before I came to China Overseas.
This means that she has known for a long time that when she was in Yingzhou, she was acting for her when she said she was working hard for the college entrance examination, about taking the Yenching Institute of Technology, and applying for Yenching Institute of Technology.
This made Xu Yiyang feel very uncomfortable. He always felt that he was too unworthy of Shen Lele in this matter.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Hu Bingwen said: "Well, let's go to my house to eat tonight. My wife has been listening to me talking about it for so long and has always wanted to meet you. It just so happened that my daughter and son-in-law came over to introduce you to each other."
Xu Yiyang's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he was not in the mood to eat.
He didn't even know how to face Shen Lele.
At this time, Hu Bingwen said again: "Xiao Xu, this is my fault. I thought you two had a good relationship and knew many things about each other."
Xu Yiyang sighed: "It's not your fault, Mr. Hu, it's my fault. I chose the wrong way to deal with it from the beginning."
Hu Bingwen asked: "What about dinner..."
Xu Yiyang pondered for a moment and then said: "Let me tell Shen Lele and see what she means."
Hu Bingwen said: "Okay, you tell her, if there is no problem, give me a confirmation letter."
Another third update!
