Chapter 134 The Stories Are All True!

Lin Junfeng said cheerfully: "Of course! Come on, Afan, this computer is for you and Xinyi to play with. Let's go and open a new computer nearby!"

So, Li Xiaofan and Xinyi curiously sat on the 48scape Navigator that Junfeng left for them and started surfing the Internet.

He found that there was indeed an "Online search button" on the Netscape browser, so he clicked the button with the mouse, and the browser immediately opened a new search website for them.

This website is: Yahoo! Yahoo!

Li Xiaofan still remembers this story about the direct relationship between the founders of Yahoo and Netscape browsers in his previous life: In the summer of 1994 last year, the Yahoo search website founded by Yang Zhiyuan, who was studying for a doctorate at Stanford University, and his classmate David Filo went online. Since there were very few Internet companies that could provide free information retrieval services at that time, Yahoo received high praise from many netizens immediately after its launch.

Even Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape at the time, liked the website Yahoo very much and became a fan of Yahoo. So in January 1995, Marc Andreessen simply put a very important button on the Netscape browser: "Online searc* Searches on ** pointed to Yahoo. Therefore, when Netscape browser users clicked that button, they were automatically taken to Yahoo's website, which brought a lot of traffic to Yahoo...

Seeing that the online search button of the Netscape browser actually led to the Yahoo website, Li Xiaofan burst out laughing: I didn't expect this story from his previous life to be true!

Tang Xinyi on the side asked curiously: "Fan, why are you giggling? This YHAOO! What the hell is this website? The design is so ugly!"

The Yahoo website that is opened now is really too ugly in the eyes of Xinyi, who studies design!

The current Yahoo web page header is a purple rectangular title. This purple is a bit like the purple used by Tsinghua University.

The title of the rectangular box reads: [Y! Yahoo! Homepage is Constantly Evolving】

Probably means: Yay, Yahoo! The homepage is constantly growing!

The background of the website is white, and the ugly purple-yellow new Yahoo LOGO has just been adopted. On both sides of the LOGO are 8 main function buttons that are consistent with the LOGO style. The page is still mainly presented with text.

Below the eight function buttons such as "New", "Cool", "Write us", "Headline", "Popular", "Random", "Add URL" and "Info" are a large blank box, and next to the box is "Search" button.

Just enter keywords in the blank box to search.

Below the search box are various major categories such as "Art", "News", "Economy", "Computers and Internet", "Education", "Environment", "Government"... and so on.

Li Xiaofan recalled the story of Jack Ma’s first trip to Seattle, USA, in 1995, his first contact with the Internet.

So he imitated Jack Ma and entered the English word "beer" on Yahoo's search engine.

"Fan, do you want to buy beer online?" Tang Xinyi asked curiously.

"Haha, I want to see if there is any introduction to our mainland Chinese beer on the Internet!"

Sure enough, after the search results came out, a variety of beers from the United States, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, etc. were displayed on the page, but there was no Chinese beer, not even an introduction to the famous Tsingtao Beer.

It seems that these large domestic companies are not aware of the Internet at all, probably because they have little opportunity to be exposed to the Internet.

Then Li Xiaofan followed Ma Yun and continued to enter the second word "CHINA". The result was the same. There was almost no English introduction to CHINA...

Sure enough, there are huge business opportunities hidden here!

"Fan, why are you in a daze?"

When Li Xiaofan was lost in thought, Tang Xinyi knocked him on the head and said angrily: "Fan, it's getting late, should we go back? It's not good to disturb Huijuan and Junfeng too much. We have been around them for so long." The light bulb of time..."

In fact, Huijuan and Junfeng were also having fun online. They were listening to the Beatles classic song "Hey Jude" played on WXYC 89.3FM of the University of North Carolina on WXYC.

The two of them were shaking their heads and humming together: "Hey, Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better..."

Li Xiaofan said to Tang Xinyi seriously: "Xinyi, the YAHOO! website you see is the Yahoo search engine I mentioned to you earlier. Their two founders are now studying for Ph.D.s at Stanford University in Silicon Valley. I want to be there as soon as possible." Go find them and invest in this site!”

"Huh? Such an ugly website with no artistic sense at all is still worth investing in?" Tang Xinyi found it very puzzling.

"It doesn't matter if the design of his website is ugly. The key is that it is easy to use and that the majority of Internet users like it. Especially now that it is pointed to by the online search function on the Netscape browser, Yahoo's users are increasing in large numbers. We have to hurry up and find it." Their founders and find ways to invest in this company, Yahoo!”

"Okay, I'll call my second sister in San Francisco and ask her to send an invitation as soon as possible!"

Just as Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi were chatting, Li Xiaofan noticed that there were two boys in the corner of the computer room who were also using computers. The two of them would occasionally look at them with concern.

Li Xiaofan began to feel that he might have been discussing too intensely with Tang Xinyi, Huijuan, Lin Junfeng and the other four people just now. Especially for him, it was the first time to surf the Internet after his rebirth, so he was very excited and his voice was a bit loud, which might have disturbed the two boys.

But after a closer look, he found that the two boys might be mainland compatriots from China. Because the two boys were wearing the most common round-neck old man sweat shirt T-shirts in China, and the thin trousers that would float up when the wind blew in China, and each of them had a jingling key ring hanging around their waists. This waist key ring was almost standard for mainland boys back then, and Singaporean and Malaysian boys generally never used this thing.

The two men had long hair and wore thick glasses. At first glance, they looked like engineering guys who didn't care much about their personal image.

Most Singaporean boys still pay more attention to their personal image and like to be neat. They usually spray perfume, carry a small comb, and put some hairspray on their hair before going out.

"Two brothers, are you international students from mainland China?" Li Xiaofan smiled and took the initiative to greet them.

"Yes, are you also a new classmate from China who just came to study at the National University of Singapore?" The two boys responded enthusiastically, speaking standard Mandarin.

"No, I'm here to play with my friends..." Li Xiaofan smiled.

At this time, Lin Junfeng saw Li Xiaofan chatting with two mainland alumni, and came over to join in, and everyone got to know each other.
