MTL - Hello 1983-Chapter 1157 It's all the fault of the Earth Web
Chapter 1157 is all the fault of the Earth Net
The arrival of Liu Qingshan revived the morale of Columbia Pictures.
In the evening, it is natural to have a meal with the company's executives to exchange feelings.
Liu Qingshan, the big boss, basically visits once a year or two, and there are not many opportunities to invite employees to dinner.
Chambers also made a phone call. He was calling the dolphin queen Maria.
What a coincidence, Maria is in Los Angeles these two days, and readily agrees to come to the evening reception.
What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Li also came to rush the scene, and brought a little brother, Xiao Lizi.
It turned out that the two had met before. When filming the big boat, Xiao Li went to the crew to visit the set several times, and they met like this.
Liu Qingshan seriously suspected that Xiao Lizi was misled by this guy.
During the chat, Xiao Lizi has basically agreed to participate in Twilight, and he will contact another partner to try his best to persuade him.
The Twilight Saga novel is quite popular among young people.
Soon, Maria also arrived in an evening dress, and she was very excited when she saw Liu Qingshan.
In the past few years, Maria's acting career has developed very smoothly, and she is already a queen-level figure in the North American pop music scene.
It's just that since Liu Qingshan got married, he kept a distance from Maria, which made the girl feel a little resentful.
Maria's stardom is magnanimous, but there has never been any scandal. Many suitors have all failed, and there are many rich men or famous people among them.
It seems that this girl's whole mind is devoted to her singing career.
After dinner, they began to sing and dance. Liu Qingshan danced a tune with Maria, and then sat on the sofa to chat.
Maria opened her bag, took out a check from it, and pushed it onto the coffee table in front of Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan looked at the numbers above, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "It's not bad, I haven't made less money these years, but I don't need it. It's better to keep you as a dowry."
Maria shook her head slightly: "My heart is married long ago, you don't have to think that spending a woman's money is detrimental to dignity, because we are friends."
Liu Qingshan nodded: "But I really don't need it."
"Are you sure?" Alia asked in a low voice as she moved closer.
Liu Qingshan nodded, then raised his hand to rub Maria's head: "Thank you!"
A person who is willing to pay for you at a critical moment deserves Liu Qingshan's sincere thanks.
Maria's behavior, in China, is chivalrous.
Maria looked far away, and she seemed to be recalling that night in Liland that was full of gunfire...
The next morning, Liu Qingshan appeared at the headquarters of Earth Network.
Looking at the blue planet mark on the office building, Liu Qingshan could not help but smile:
This is my earth, and others cannot take it away.
Adrian and the company's executives and R&D personnel have already greeted them in front of the building.
It can be seen that everyone has a bit of worry on their faces.
Only Hunter waited for a group of programmers, still looking heartless, and came up to hug Liu Qingshan happily, shouting "Boss, Boss" in his mouth.
These guys are simple-minded and simple-minded, and the disturbances outside have no effect on them at all.
But managers like Adrian are different. They are very worried about the future of the Earth Network.
Although Liu Qingshan doesn't come to the company very often, he seems like a hands-off shopkeeper.
But Adrian and others know that it is the boss who really leads the earth network forward.
In recent years, some Internet companies have emerged, but most of them were short-lived and eventually disappeared in the online world.
Because in this emerging industry, no one knows the future development path.
Only the earth network, thriving, is always on the right path, and Liu Qingshan is the real guide.
Every step of the company's development is designed by Liu Qingshan, and Adrian knows that these executives are just executors.
It can guide the earth network forward in the complicated fog. What kind of vision is this?
Adrian couldn't imagine that once the Earth Network changed its owner, would it disappear like many other Internet companies.
In a conference room of the company, everyone gathered together.
Liu Qingshan listened to Adrian's report first. Of course, he had already learned about these situations from his second sister.
Global Network has developed healthily and rapidly in the past two years. With more and more Internet users here, Earth Network has become the home of every netizen.
Now the Earth Network has also spun off several independent subsidiaries: anti-virus software, email business, and instant messaging business. These three are the earliest fields involved, and they have all been spun off.
In addition, the newly established website navigation and earth encyclopedia are also highly praised by the majority of users.
The huge number of users and good reputation have also allowed Earth Network to attract more and more advertisers. Last year's profit exceeded 100 million US dollars.
This is also the world's first website with a profit of more than 100 million. Don't think that such a big company has too little profit of more than 100 million, because most of the others are still in the stage of burning money.
The profit model of the Internet is also gradually developed and explored.
So Earth Network can achieve such a result, which is quite impressive.
It also attracted the jealousy of those investors, waving banknotes to enter the market.
It's a pity that there is Liu Qingshan, a billionaire behind the Earth Network, who doesn't need other people's investment.
The result of this kind of eating alone has finally exploded now. A large group of capital, all transformed into sharks, wants to pounce on the earth net and have a full meal.
The crisis that Liu Qingshan encountered this time, in the final analysis, was caused by Earth Network.
After Adrian finished introducing the company's development, the head of the R&D department began to introduce the company's plans in this regard.
Hunter even opened a laptop, pointed to an icon on it, and proudly showed off to Liu Qingshan: "Boss, this is the browser we developed, how is it, isn't it great?"
The icon is very simple, it is a blue ball, representing the earth network, surrounded by a halo, similar to the Internet of later generations.
In Liu Qingshan's eyes, this thing was still a bit rough. He tried to open it, and entered a simple search interface.
Liu Qingshan couldn't help blinking: "Is this the end?"
"Yes, boss, now you can surf the Internet freely and find the websites you are interested in." Hunter said proudly.
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "But I'm a novice, I don't know any websites, and I don't know what I want to do?"
Hunter actually scratched his head: "Boss, stop pretending, you are very powerful."
"What if I am a novice surfing the Internet for the first time?" Liu Qingshan continued to ask.
Hunter didn't move: "Then it's best to learn from others first."
"Who are you looking for to learn from, are you looking for?" Liu Qingshan asked cheerfully, and then began to explain his point of view:
"So we developers, we must always consider the problem from the user's point of view, not what I want, but what the user wants."
Everyone is thoughtful, these most basic things, for technical experts like them, it is easier than drinking cold water.
But for ordinary users or Internet novices, it is too esoteric.
"So, we want to be the guide for users, just like when you come to a strange city and need to buy a map or hire a tour guide, it's the same reason."
"Guide? Boss, I understand!"
Hunter suddenly screamed, "You mean, we can list all the existing websites for users to choose and use, is that right?"
Liu Qingshan tapped Hunter on the head: "That's right, I'm a little enlightened."
Hunter hehe silly music: "I understand a little bit. There will be more and more websites of all kinds in the future. Let's classify them and integrate the same kind of websites together."
Others also followed suit, and Adrian also realized the business opportunities here:
"Similar websites, the ones that rank at the top, of course have advantages and can gain more hits, so there is also competition here, and we will also have income."
Liu Qingshan nodded slightly: These people are professionals, and some things can be seen through.
If he didn't have the vision of future generations, he really wouldn't be able to lead this group of guys.
However, it is still too early to say these things. After all, there are not many websites in total, and there is no competition involved.
Afterwards, the R&D personnel showed Liu Qingshan the Earth Encyclopedia. Liu Qingshan also searched for "NBA championship" with great interest, and a lot of entries popped up below.
The top few are all the news that the Rockets won this year's championship.
"Boss, your team is okay, but if Michael doesn't retire, you have no chance." Of course, a straight man like Hunter has something to say.
Brother Qiao announced his retirement for the first time in October last year, and then went to play baseball in style.
The old hooligan let go, but it caused an earthquake in the NBA. The Bulls suffered heavy losses. It is said that the direct economic loss exceeded one billion.
The loss of the entire alliance is more than 10 billion, which shows the influence of the old hooligan.
So even the president couldn't handle it later, so he brought back Gang Leader Qiao, who had had enough fun.
However, Liu Qingshan took advantage of the gap of the past two years, and the Rockets won the championship for two consecutive years.
"We will still be champions next year." Liu Qingshan gave Hunter a dissatisfied look.
Adrian quickly complimented: "The boss's vision is of course powerful. Now the market value of the team has at least doubled. Boss, there are many rich people thinking about buying the team. Do you want to make a move?"
"Not for sale!" Liu Qingshan knew that the team would appreciate more and more, so of course he would not sell.
And Adrian asked this, obviously because he thought that he had reached the point where he needed to sell assets frantically to pay off debts.
So Liu Qingshan added: "All my assets are high-quality assets, and I will never sell them!"
It is obvious that everyone's spirits are lifted. Liu Qingshan said so, of course including their beloved Earth Network.
But Adrian was also a little puzzled: If you don’t sell this, don’t sell it, what will the boss use to pay off the debt?
Liu Qingshan had lunch with these people from Earth Net again at noon, and hurried back to his aunt's villa, because the second sister called, and there were several guests waiting for him.
In the living room, Grandpa Du and Liu Yinfeng were chatting with five or six people.
These guests are mostly in their fifties or sixties. They all have yellow skin and black eyes, and they are obviously Chinese.
Seeing Liu Qingshan coming in, everyone got up one after another.
Liu Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, while Liu Yinfeng introduced them: "This is Uncle Wang from San Francisco, and this is Uncle Zhao from the Big Apple City..."
It turned out that they were all representatives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States, and they were all relatively successful businessmen here.
Liu Qingshan is not very familiar with these people, after all, he always comes and goes in a hurry; but Liu Yinfeng often comes into contact with these people.
"Hello seniors, it is a great honor to meet the best of overseas Chinese."
Liu Qingshan clasped his hands together, using very traditional etiquette, because he saw that the several old people present were all wearing double-breasted silk clothes and pants, and they were all dressed in traditional Chinese style.
"Hahaha, little friend Qingshan, if you want to talk about the pride of the Chinese, it must be you now. We old men are all old now!"
The old Mr. Wang let out a hearty laugh, his complexion was rosy, and he had an extraordinary bearing.
Another elegant Mr. Zhao also smiled with his beard: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones, as it should be."
After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down again, Liu Qingshan poured tea for the guests, and then chatted.
These overseas Chinese asked the most about the domestic situation.
Liu Qingshan has nothing to hide, and what he introduces is the most real situation.
The country is still developing, and everyone's life is not very rich.
However, compared with ten years ago, it has improved a lot.
This is undoubtedly the result of the reform, and this effect will become more and more obvious in the future.
The momentum of Huaxia's rise has already begun to show.
Everyone was also amazed when they heard it. After all, if the nation is strong, overseas Chinese like them can also straighten their backs.
"Seniors, I have a small suggestion. If you have time, you should really go back and take a look." Liu Qingshan suggested with a smile.
Everyone nodded in unison: A few years ago, because of some special reasons, they really didn't dare to go back.
It's all right now, don't worry about those messy things anymore.
While you can still move now, you must go back and have a look in your lifetime.
When Liu Qingshan said this, it immediately aroused everyone's homesickness.
The old Mr. Zhao looked far away: "The homeland is three thousand miles away, so I should go back and have a look, little friend Qingshan, when the time comes, how about going to your Eastern Autonomous Region first?"
"Of course the juniors are welcome." Liu Qingshan naturally agreed.
"Little friend Qingshan, I heard that you spent a lot of money to recover the country. I can't wait. I still have some savings on hand."
Mr. Wang's temperament is relatively straightforward, and he finally took advantage of the situation to explain his intention.
When Liu Qingshan heard this, he quickly got up and cupped his hands: "Seniors can act out of righteousness, and this junior is very grateful!"
He roughly guessed the purpose of these people, and felt extraordinarily warm in his heart.
Liu Qingshan didn't know these people well, let alone friendship, but in times of crisis, how could it not be touching that they could stand up and help them?
As for the reason, there is only one reason, because they have the same skin color and ancestors, they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are connected by blood.
