Chapter 830 Christmas Event

William is a junior student at Cambridge University. Several classmates in William's dormitory raised funds to buy a computer and then pulled an Internet cable.

Several classmates drew lots to allocate Internet time.

At midnight on December 24, William logged into the World of Warcraft text interactive game.

William was already level 9, and William was going to level up to level 10 during Christmas.

However, when he opened the game, he found that the game was being upgraded.

The upgrade lasted for 40 minutes, but William was not idle during this period, and he had a quarrel with others on the forum.

William is a real Londoner. Some people on the forum slandered London's food.

Although William knew that London's food was almost like dog shit, he would never allow others to say it.

A big fight often broke out on the forum because of an irrelevant sentence.

The current forum is a bit like watching live broadcasts, and the comments are constantly refreshed.

So William stared at the forum with his eyes and typed blindly with his hands, typing a series of *** you mother and the like. There is no harmony on the Internet now.

It is full of dirty words such as dog shit and bastard.

After the update was completed, William quickly entered the game. With his charming choice, William successfully killed a fishman!

Congratulations to the player for getting a fish scale!

Congratulations to the player for getting a pearl!

Congratulations to the player for getting a black iron Christmas treasure chest!

William's eyes widened when he saw the black iron Christmas treasure chest that appeared behind him.

Do you want to open the black iron Christmas treasure chest? Inside is a gift from Santa Claus to everyone!

William saw that the game sent such a message.

William quickly chose to open it.

Congratulations to the player for getting a green quality dagger.

The message also has the attributes of the dagger.

William's eyes widened and he almost cheered, but he quickly shut up when he saw his roommate lying dead.

Then choose to equip the dagger!

The green quality dagger is indeed more powerful than the white dagger in his hand.

But the second fishman did not give a Christmas treasure chest.

William certainly knew that it was impossible for every monster to give.

Soon William encountered an elite murloc. In the past, William would run away when he encountered this kind of thing, because the elite murloc would run away at the end and he could not catch up.

However, he was equipped with a short sword with higher attack power, so William gave it a try.

William looked at the battle information above, which showed the health of both sides.

When the elite murloc was about to run away, William chose to charge.

Congratulations to the player for killing the elite murloc!

Congratulations to the player for getting two scales!

Congratulations to the player for getting two large pearls!

Congratulations to the player for getting a pair of fish scale leather boots (green quality!)

Congratulations to the player for getting a silver Christmas treasure chest!

When William excitedly opened the treasure chest, he found that he had obtained a piece of fish scale leather armor (chest armor) (blue quality!)

William could no longer hold back and shouted excitedly, because after having such blue equipment, he was not afraid of the murlocs here at all, mainly these murlocs, sometimes three or two at a time.

"William, you bastard, stop making noise!"

"William, *** you!"

William didn't care about his roommate's abuse and anger at all.

"I got a Christmas treasure chest today, and it gave me a blue quality equipment, and it's a breastplate!" William shouted excitedly.

These people got up and rushed to the computer after hearing this.

"Woc!"

"Christmas treasure chest?"

"Hurry up and check the forum!"

The forum is now in a frenzy, causing the refresh speed to be a bit slow.

"Haha, I passed by and found that a Christmas treasure chest actually opened 15 copper coins!"

"I beat a wild boar leader, and a gold treasure chest exploded, and I got gold equipment, and it's a very rare necklace!" This person also posted a message.

This is a pig tooth necklace with three attributes, increase attack speed! Increase attack power! And then increase physical fitness!

Generally speaking, one attribute is green, two attributes are blue, and three attributes are gold.

"The text interactive game is stuck!"

"My text interactive game is offline!"

"Hurry up and call the official, isn't this a waste of time!" Soon someone on the forum reported that the text interactive game was offline.

The server of the text interactive game was overwhelmed, and servers were being temporarily added.

The news that the text interactive game dropped Christmas treasure chests had spread everywhere. Anyone with a computer and an internet connection started to go online.

Even those without computers rushed to the Internet cafe, just like William's roommate, who quickly called the owner of the Internet cafe and didn't care about waiting for William's computer.

When Liu Hai learned about this, he looked at the time and it was only past 11 o'clock, and it was now more than 3 o'clock in the morning in London.

The official of the text interactive game quickly got a reply from the players. Because the number of people in this event was insufficient, the server crashed, so the Christmas event was changed from one day to three days to compensate the game players.

And each game player was compensated with 50 copper coins.

When the game players saw the official answer, they applauded and cheered.

At 4:30 in the morning in London, the text interactive game could finally continue, and the server expansion had ended.

Then in the morning, the London newspaper broke a major news that the server of the World of Warcraft Continent text interactive game crashed because of too many people playing the Christmas game!

At noon, the CEO of the World of Warcraft Text Interactive Game apologized to everyone on the news and announced compensation measures. At the same time, he revealed that the number of people online at the same time in the World of Warcraft Text Interactive Game exceeded 600,000, and the number was still increasing.

And a lot of paying users have been added!

This news has once again put the hot Internet on the cusp.

The valuation of the World of Warcraft Text Interactive Game Company has risen again!

This makes other people who want to enter the Internet, but have not yet entered the Internet, jealous and green, thinking that they will succeed in the Internet with their excellent minds and genius creativity!

There was such a scene in history. The Bald Eagle was booming during the Chinese New Year. One by one, the myths of Internet companies getting rich made many people feel that they only need to return to China and copy the template of the Bald Eagle.

In fact, the domestic Internet giants that were able to rise were all those people at that time.

Of course, these people encountered the Internet bubble a few years after they came back.

The same Internet bubble will definitely happen in this time and space, especially seeing the series of actions of the Bald Eagle, Liu Hai is more certain.

Even many capitals in Bald Eagle went to London to set up companies or invest in other companies.

This caused the capital in Bald Eagle to flow out.

The double loss of talent and capital made the Bald Eagle government anxious.

Where is the promised lighthouse of the world?

How did it go to London? How can this be possible?

So the Bald Eagle government came up with a series of incentives to encourage Bald Eagle's private capital to enter the Internet field.

Of course, it is obvious which companies can get these incentives, such as subsidies.

Bald Eagle Telephone Company and some other consortiums have established Internet companies.

Of course, these companies will not adopt the Internet standards issued by the London Internet Standards Conference.

Instead, they have to start a new business, because only in this way can they get subsidies.

These newly established companies have not done anything, but they have hyped the concept in the newspaper.

The myth of getting rich quickly brought by the Internet has been realized in London, so these companies are very popular with the public.

At this moment, Bald Eagle feels that he has stood up again, because many domestic companies are engaged in the Internet, hardware, and software.

Some companies can even get a large amount of financing just by coming up with a concept.

There is no way, now newspapers and media are everywhere praising the Internet.

In fact, these newspapers and media have no idea what the core of profitability is, they just know that they don’t understand what the other party is saying, and what they say is similar to what happened in London.

Most people waving money don’t understand what the Internet is, but seeing everyone investing as if they would lose 8 million if they don’t invest.

People in London are also relieved to see that the bald eagle is going to start his own business.

If the shameless bald eagle really joins in, his position as a lighthouse will be affected.

As long as the bald eagle doesn’t come in, then in this Internet circle, my London is a well-deserved technology lighthouse, just ask you if you accept it.

Not convinced? Come and cut off his network for me!

However, most capitalists still pour funds into Europe, because Europe has a complete Internet system and ready-made templates.

The myth of Internet wealth creation officially began, a large amount of hot money was integrated into London, and then technology companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

The little book also took the pressure from the bald eagle and said that we also want to join the world Internet standard.

London welcomed the little book to join.

And in this hustle and bustle, an inconspicuous news from some Eastern countries did not attract everyone's attention.

That is, the C101 twin-engine narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft of some Eastern countries was officially finalized.

Liu Hai was completely relieved. Although he knew that the C101 should not have any major problems, he was worried before it was finalized.

Research work is like this. You never know what kind of surprise or shock will be waiting for you until the last step.

Just like the famous 117, there is no problem in manufacturing and test flights, but once it is put into actual combat: Oh!

Even the f35 that was blown up in 2020 has to be really taken out for a walk to know whether it is a mule or a horse.

Europe has already contacted it, and it can achieve the European flight permit and airworthiness certificate. Of course, the surface work still needs to be done and it still needs to be applied.

As for the bald eagle doing the Internet by himself, Liu Hai just watched the joke on the side.

Because the domestic Internet has become a bubble. Today, this company can get tens of millions of dollars in financing with an idea, and tomorrow, that company can get millions of yuan in financing with an idea.

It is no problem for Bald Eagle to build its own Internet, but there are no such companies on the Internet now, so no matter how good the idea is, it will be useless.

In London, it is more rigorous. First of all, there is a software alliance and a security alliance.

Of course, the Internet bubble in London is also very high, but at least London has a ready-made Internet and a ready-made profit model.

Bald Eagle now says that those companies are bragging, and to put it bluntly, they are cheating.

It's like some companies are still a wasteland and they just sold their houses.

At this time, the time point has come to 1988. The New Year's Eve of 1988 was February 16, and this year's twelfth lunar month is only February 29.

Liu Hai is considered to have several good things. After the C101 was finalized, it was officially produced by Heshun Airlines. Of course, the production line is still being debugged.

It is expected that the first aircraft will be shipped in three months. During the test, the C101 took off and landed more than 500 times, of which more than 80 times were taken off and landed on the plateau.

In addition, Dabao and Erbao also have lovers.

Maybe it was Erbao and Atong's marriage that made Dabao and Amin feel a little bit of crisis.

As for the other four, they are still young and there is still time to wait.

The order volume of Panda 2nd generation computers is very popular. Panda Computer Experience Center has opened several stores in Europe, such as London, Paris, etc.

A large number of Panda 1st generation computers flowed into the second-hand market, which invisibly increased the number of Internet users, because some people did not have money to buy new computers, so they bought second-hand computers.

Moreover, Panda computers are assembled in parts, so it is easy to configure according to the customer's price.

Although the first generation of Panda computers cannot play CS and Plants vs. Zombies games.

But it is completely fine for chatting, making friends, arguing with people on forums, playing interactive text games in World of Warcraft, chess and card games, and stacking cube games.

Not to mention using it for office work.

This has led to a surge in the number of Internet account opening user reservations!

The entire Internet cake is getting bigger and bigger, and some news media have already established professional news websites.

In mid-January 1988, the Hao123 navigation website officially began to refresh some simple color pictures.

Behind this is a major upgrade of related hardware facilities.

Of course, the first generation of computers still cannot display, and can only display pure text.

It can be said that in terms of the Internet, it has completely left the bald eagle behind.

Because the bald eagle wants to establish a new Internet standard, it has to bypass the current Internet standards.

This is why those who develop technology first can develop quickly, because they take the fastest path.

Just like climbing a mountain, the first climber chooses the best path.

If you don’t follow the path of the first climber, you have to choose another path, which will definitely be more difficult.

And the current London International Internet Standard must have a thick patent barrier.

Of course, according to the shameless character of the bald eagle, it may be possible to circumvent it legally, that is, if I copy yours, you can't do anything to me, but if you copy mine, you can't.

Then the hao123 website officially launched color picture ads.

Then the valuation of the hao123 website rose sharply.

The new Panda operating system added a new browser with various functions such as favorites.

Other software of the Panda II computer has also been upgraded. Pictures can also be posted on the forum, but there is a certain size limit for pictures, and it is likely to refresh for half a day before they can be refreshed.

Chat software can also post pictures, but the current picture quality looks too bad.

However, chat software still has no profit model, so no capital is optimistic about it.

Now capital is not simply staring at the number of users, but at the profit model.

The most popular ones are navigation page websites and Warcraft Continent interactive games. Countless institutions are waving money to ask for financing, and the valuation has risen again and again.

"Hey, I'll cut you off now."

"When the real online games come out, text interactive games, the valuation will definitely be looked at, and then I will buy back the shares!"

"When the mobile phone launches the Warcraft Continent text interactive game, then everyone thinks the market is back, and I will sell all my shares!" Liu Hai has long been prepared to use technology to cut the leeks of European stockholders. Of course, this matter must be done in a more covert way, and some gentry must be united to fish for those stockholders or other local big households.

As for chat software and search engines, no one is optimistic about them, which is also normal, because these two companies have been losing money.

Liu Hai does not want these two companies to raise funds too early. Although he is willing to lead everyone to make a fortune together, this does not mean that he is willing to let others get on board early.

So far, a stable Internet circle has been formed. Now if Bald Eagle wants to overthrow this circle, it is impossible, because the interests of too many people are mixed in it!
