Chapter 26 - Internet boom

Ai Ziqing woke up the next day and found himself lying on a bed in a small hotel. After checking his body and finding nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief. He cursed himself for drinking too much outside. Now this body can drink less than one-tenth of what it did back then. Standing in front of the mirror, he thought jokingly: Am I so unattractive? He really did throw a drunk woman back to the hotel alone!

Throwing away these messy thoughts, he got up to pack his things and returned to the hotel. As soon as Ziqing entered the door, Ma Yuxi knocked on the door and came in. He glanced at Ziqing, and hesitated to speak, thinking that as a subordinate, he should not be too controlling.

Ziqing naturally knew what he was thinking, and said in a gentle voice, "Uncle Ma, don't worry. I met a friend last night and drank a little too much. I stayed nearby and forgot to inform you."

Ma Yuxi was relieved. "I have already done the work in the past two days, and all the stones have been transported back. When do you think we should go back?"

"Today, by the way, Uncle Ma, help me find a teacher. I want to learn some simple close combat for self-defense." Ziqing thought for a while and said.

"That's no problem. I'll let you know if there's a suitable one." Ma Yuxi nodded knowingly. In his eyes, a beautiful and capable girl like Ai Ziqing is undoubtedly fat meat in the eyes of some people. If her identity is made public in the future, the danger is self-evident, so she naturally needs some self-defense skills.

After returning to Yang City, Ziqing not only learned and practiced some simple self-defense skills, but also had another extracurricular activity, which was surfing the Internet. 1997 was an era when computers were not yet popular, which allowed Ziqing to discover new business opportunities.

Ziqing knew that she had nothing more than people of this generation, but she had something precious, that is, her vision and memory!

In 1997, there were no Internet cafes in Yang City. There were only a few computer rooms near the school that were not connected to the Internet, and all the games played were online games. Ziqing asked Ma Yuxi to buy a corresponding number of computers for the company and connect them to the Internet. And personally programmed a simple office software for the company. Ziqing had learned a little about programming, and some simple codes could still be memorized. For example, the source code of ICQ, the earliest instant messaging tool that swept the United States in later generations, was very simple.

She could design a simple tool by herself, and then organize a team to study and operate it. Moreover, Ziqing also understood some operating methods in later generations. In addition to the large initial investment and the inability to make money, once it became popular, it could add membership functions and so on, which would be a huge profit!

So Ziqing started to think about instant messaging software again. While the founders of ICQ, Visig, Wadi and Goldfinger, have not yet gathered, she can take the initiative.

After that, Ziqing spent day and night in the office of Yushixuan headquarters, writing and improving the source code. Finally, after a week, she designed the most primitive chat tool using C language. If you have learned it, it will be very simple in the future. She made the appearance very novel through some improvements and designs of her own. Then she asked Ma Yuxi to recruit capable college students from the fresh graduates of various universities. Ziqing valued their passion and innovation ability!

In this way, the "Chinese language" chat tool that will be popular all over the world in the future was born in such a hot summer, and its team veterans are a group of freshly graduated college students.
