That night, after experiencing the despair and terror in the afternoon, Xu Yiyang and his group of twenty people slept particularly comfortably at the Holiday Inn.
The next day was Sunday. According to Director Li's arrangement, everyone gathered after breakfast. They first visited the University of Hong Kong and then took a bus to the city center.
Hong Kong is the Oriental Pearl of China and a scar suffered by foreign powers in modern times. Xu Yiyang still remembers his mood in 1997 when he sat in front of the TV with anticipation and watched the handover ceremony.
At that moment, he had a high yearning for this city that had finally returned to the embrace of his motherland.
But in the following years, Xu Yiyang's feelings for this city began to become very complicated, but after it became too complicated, it became lukewarm, neither happy nor tired.
Except for him and Ning Ruolin, everyone else seemed to be very excited. They felt strange everywhere they saw and liked everything they saw.
After traveling around the city for a day, everyone was still eagerly discussing the food, shopping malls and celebrities here when they returned to the hotel.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Tengxun released system news about Han Han's "Three Gates" to all its users.
This is the first time that Tencent has published advertisements for a third party.
Everyone online during this time has received this system message.
In the early days of QQ, system messages were very important to users and could not even be missed.
Because all friends added successfully, or friend addition requests must be announced through the small speaker.
And it has a distinctive sound. When receiving a message, it makes a beeping sound, and when receiving a message, it makes a more special coughing sound.
According to current user habits, whether they receive a message or message, they will immediately press the shortcut key combination CTRL+ALT+Z to call the content directly to the desktop.
Therefore, once this message was sent, more than two million users online at the same time received it.
This includes Tong Yuewei, who is watching Dianao at home and waiting for Xu Yiyang to come online.
As soon as Tong Yuewei saw Tengxun QQ promoting "Three Gates", she immediately shouted excitedly: "Mom, come quickly!"
Chen Xinlin was clearing the dining table when she heard her daughter calling her, so she said to Tong Fangquan who was reading a magazine on the sofa: "Old Tong, go see what your daughter wants."
"Okay." Tong Fangquan put down the magazine and walked to the study.
As soon as her father came in, Tong Yuewei hurriedly asked: "Where is my mother?"
Tong Fangquan smiled and said, "If Miss Tong needs anything, I can tell the younger one to do the same."
Tong Yuewei rolled her eyes and shouted: "Oh mom, come here quickly! I have good news for you!"
Chen Xinlin had no choice but to put down the tableware in her hands and walked to the study room while asking: "What good news are you shouting about?"
Tong Fangquan leaned against the doorframe and asked, "Yes, what good news do you want to share with me?"
Tong Yuewei hurriedly waved to the two of them and said, "Look at this!"
The two of them entered the study one after another, walked around behind Tong Yuewei and took a look, and were shocked and speechless!
Chen Xinlin asked in surprise: "Why did QQ recommend "Three Gates"? How did they know that we were going to do a nationwide signing?"
Tong Fangquan on the side immediately said: "Why don't you think about it? It must be Xiao Xu who said hello! He has a close relationship with the people in Tengxun."
Chen Xinlin suddenly realized it!
My husband’s first hit value-added service product was Xu Yiyang’s idea, and he then brought together Tengxun to cooperate with China Telecom.
From this point of view, it is estimated that there is no one else except him who can mobilize the resources of Dodo News and help him promote books.
Tong Fangquan said with emotion: "Now the number of Tengxun users is soaring. The whole country is running towards 10 million, and most of them are young people. Xiao Xu is really giving you a big publicity for free!"
Chen Xinlin also knew that the number of Tengxun users was already very impressive, and she said with great joy: "Xiao Xu is really thoughtful, I will give him a quick call to say thank you!"
Tong Yuewei said: "Mom, have you forgotten? Xu Yiyang has gone to Hong Kong and it will take three weeks to come back."
"Oh, right!" Chen Xinlin slapped her forehead: "I forgot about it when I was so excited."
Tong Fangquan said to her: "You can wait until Xiao Xu comes back to say thank you. I think you should hurry up and start signing sales now. It just so happened that Tengxun also helped promote it, so let the printing factory speed up a little more and strike while the iron is hot. With any luck, , this book will sell one million copies this year!”
"Looking at this situation, I am afraid that one million copies will not be able to stop it." Chen Xinlin couldn't hide her excitement and said: "After a while, Han Han will go to CCTV to participate in the program recording. After the program is broadcast, his influence and " The sales volume of "Three Gates" will definitely be higher."
With that said, Chen Xinlin took out her mobile phone and said, "I'll call Xiao Han first and say something!"
At this moment, Han Han was in his study, playing StarCraft on a brand-new computer.
This computer was just purchased by him a few days ago. It has a 17-inch flat-screen monitor and the best hardware available on the market. It cost him more than 20,000 yuan in total.
Han Han is very enthusiastic about buying computers, just like he is looking forward to playing with modified cars. He is very keen on the splicing and upgrading of hardware.
There was an old Pentium computer at home earlier, but that machine was too old and old. Even those who played the 95 version of Old Red Alert would get stuck. Han Han had long wanted to replace it, but he was in high school before, and the cost was quite high. , so my family has never been very supportive.
Now he's good. Now he's making money. After counting the second printing, his income from signing bonuses and royalties has reached millions. Plus, he doesn't have to go to school anymore, so he bought such a computer.
With this computer that is completely his own, he no longer has to hold a stack of manuscript paper when writing new manuscripts, he can just type directly on the computer.
I was having a great time playing the game when I suddenly received a call from Chen Xinlin.
Han Han hurriedly paused the game, answered the phone, and said in a respectful tone: "Hello, Aunt Chen."
"Xiao Han." Chen Xinlin said with a smile, "Have you ever been on QQ?"
Han Han said: "QQ is hanging up, what's wrong?"
Chen Xinlin smiled and said: "Tengxun just sent a system message recommending your "Three Gates"!"
"Really?" Han Han was so focused on playing games just now that he didn't even notice the sound of system messages.
Hearing this, he hurriedly switched to the desktop, and then used the shortcut keys to call out the message. Sure enough, it was the news that Tengxun recommended "Three Gates"!
In addition, several classmates and friends sent me messages.
"Han Han, you are so awesome, even QQ is advertising you!"
"Han Han, do you have any relationship with QQ officials?"
"Han Han, are you making a lot of money from your royalties?"
It seems that everyone has seen the advertisement for "Triple Gate" on Tengxun News.
He asked Chen Xinlin in surprise: "Aunt Chen, did you arrange this?"
Chen Xinlin smiled and said, "I'm not that capable. Xu Yiyang should have arranged it."
"Brother Xu?" Han Han said in surprise: "Brother Xu is related to Tengxun?"
"Of course." Chen Xinlin said: "He has a pretty good relationship with the founder of Tengxun."
Han Han sighed: "I didn't expect that Brother Xu has such a wide network of contacts!"
Chen Xinlin smiled and said, "If you develop well, you should not be worse than him in the future."
Han Han said humbly: "I don't dare to compare with Brother Xu. In my eyes, Brother Xu is an unparalleled genius. I'm just showing off my cleverness."
Chen Xinlin smiled and said: "Don't underestimate yourself."
After saying that, he hurriedly added: "By the way, I'm calling to tell you about the nationwide signing. Since Tengxun is helping to increase our influence, I think we might as well start with Zhonghai next week. For book signings, I’ll contact some big bookstores in Zhonghai. Let’s do a few shows in Zhonghai first. What do you think?”
Han Han immediately said: "I have no problem, Aunt Chen, you can just arrange it!"
…
When Xu Yiyang opened QQ in the hotel, he received several messages in succession.
Tong Yuewei sent several messages, the first few were messages of gratitude in the tone of her parents, and the last two were concerned about Xu Yiyang's situation in Hong Kong;
It can be seen between the lines that Tong Yuewei really cares about herself.
Xu Yiyang replied to her with a reassuring message and called out Han Han's dialog box.
Han Han sent himself two messages.
In the first post, he sincerely thanked Xu Yiyang for his help, and then in the second post, he told Xu Yiyang that the nationwide sales signing would begin next week. Although he had already agreed to Chen Xinlin, he still felt a little uneasy. .
He admits that he is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but his signings happen to be done with great fanfare, so he is worried that he will not be able to do well due to excessive psychological pressure.
Xu Yiyang replied to him with five words: "You must become famous early."
When you are eighteen years old, there is a huge opportunity in front of you. If you don't cherish it and don't seize it, when you are twenty-eight years old, there is a high probability that you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The children born in the 1980s just caught up with the Hong Kong, Typhoon, Japanese and Korean trends, and caught up with the big wave of entertainment. Almost everyone has a dream of becoming famous hidden in their hearts.
However, because the environment in which they grew up did not catch up with the craze of the national Internet, the post-80s generation had almost no opportunities to become famous when they were young.
It wasn't until the emergence of Super Girl that society used talent shows to give ordinary young people a new channel to become famous.
And the first group of people who participated in the talent show basically achieved a counterattack in life.
Years later, when they look back at the decisions they made back then, they will definitely be extremely glad that they chose this path;
Also a few years later, when those who originally had the strength but failed to seize this opportunity will definitely regret it when they look back on those years.
Some people did not seize the opportunity when they were eighteen years old. They finally mustered up the courage to become famous when they were twenty-eight years old, but by that time they had already missed too much.
In later generations, when Xu Yiyang saw middle-aged men and women about his own age, in their thirties and forties, who had started families and started careers, with their musical dreams and taking their families and children to participate in the show on talent shows such as "The Voice of China", I always feel sorry for them.
Why not chase your dreams when you should be chasing them, but wait until you can no longer chase them
The more examples like this he saw, the more Xu Yiyang thought that Zhang Ailing’s five words were so right.
Be famous as early as possible!
