Chapter 46: Internet Cafe
I saw a special number among the numbers given by the salesperson, which instantly attracted Chu Han's attention.
18888888888888, a 120 million-dollar number was auctioned for later generations. At this moment, he was lying there quietly, waiting for Chu Han's choice.
Just this year, after having a mobile phone, mobile phone numbers also came out. The mobile phone numbers were ten digits at the beginning, but for some special reasons, one more this year.
The current mobile phone number has no specific meaning or special divisions, so it is more casual.
Because there are too few mobile phone groups, there are naturally even fewer people applying for mobile phone cards. The probability of such consecutive numbers appearing is really not small. You must know that this kind of number will be hard to find in the future, but now, it has appeared in front of Chu Han in this simple way. Without thinking, Chu Han directly chose this number.
The salesperson seemed to think Chu Han was lucky, but he didn't expect to draw such a number.
Holding the phone card, he inserted it directly into the phone, and finally, Chu Han had his own phone.
"Thank you."
Chu Han put his cell phone in his pocket and left the business hall.
The Magic City University is not far from the Bund, and the shopping mall and business hall are even near the Bund.
When you walk out of the business hall, there is the Bund outside, and the unique salty and fishy sea water rushes over, with a unique flavor.
This taste is very light and does not make people feel uncomfortable. After smelling it for a while, you will gradually adapt.
Next to the business hall is a small shop, which has a very small TV. The size of the TV is probably comparable to that of the iPad in later generations, and the picture is still black and white.
At this moment, there was a news broadcasting on it. After seeing this news, Chu Han stopped.
"There is a physical computer store in Zhongguancun, Beijing, which attracted a large number of computer enthusiasts to visit. These people buy computers more to buy accessories. They use accessories to match a computer. It is not only cheap, but also full of sense of accomplishment. This store called Jingdong is really popular. Let's interview the boss and see what method he uses to make this store so popular."
A low-cost store exploration program is being played on a not-famous TV station in Beijing.
Chu Han stared at the young man on the TV in a daze and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Qiang was very handsome when he was young. At this time, JD.com's physical store was opened, have Yellow Pages and QICQ opened?"
With curiosity, when Chu Han arrived at the school gate, he saw the Internet cafe called Blue Whale. He walked in by a tragic act.
Chu Han didn't know that behind him, a playful girl with short hair was following him, walking in with confusion.
The Internet cafe is still in the area of no-cost.
The business license of an Internet cafe is very difficult to obtain, but it does make money. The world of virtual networks is the place that young people yearn for the most. Although the Internet fee at this time reached ten yuan per hour, many people flocked to it.
When Chu Han opened the door called Blue Whale Internet Cafe in front of him, a strong smell of smoke suddenly came from it.
Not only that, the Internet cafe is small in size, and there are many people sitting in a row of computers from the door to the inside.
These people are dyed red or green hair, looking at web pages on a squat chair, browsing current entertainment information to show their new trends.
Internet cafes are small in size, few computers, and the wiring on the ground is very scattered. Some places like this are prone to accidents, because the small space can't escape and cause misfortunes.
The black Internet cafe in my previous life suddenly disappeared. The place where the black Internet cafe was opened was still open yesterday, but the next day, all the black Internet cafes across the country disappeared.
The reason is that there is a black Internet cafe. It is opened at home by minors. The scattered wiring leads to an accident and a fire.
This boss is also a talented person. In order to prevent people from being discovered, he opened a black Internet cafe at home. When the person comes, he will lock the door and go back to his room to sleep.
If someone wants to leave, just call the boss.
As a result, one day, an accident happened and the fire burned the entire room instantly. The minors inside panicked and slapped the door in pain. They lost their minds and even forgot to call their boss. Perhaps, these little kids had no cell phones at all.
Anyway, when the boss found out, three or five dead inside, he opened the door and everyone was injured.
This incident alarmed the whole country, and since then, there have been no black Internet cafes across the country.
But this happened after the millennium, because Internet cafes have not yet become the trend and hottest place. There are not so many black Internet cafes.
Internet cafes actually existed very early. In the 1980s, Internet cafes were still high-end places. Rich people came in and spent five yuan a hour, had a cup of coffee, chat, and surf the Internet.
The five yuan in the 1980s had not experienced inflation, which was equivalent to the fifty yuan in the late 1990s. Internet cafes were a perfect place for high consumption at that time.
Although ten yuan is not cheap now, it is equivalent to Chu Han’s daily meal money.
When many people are still flocking to it, it is because of the development of portal websites that some young people seem to have opened up a new world through portal websites. No matter what they want to know, they can find what they want in the search bar.
So, Internet cafes gradually became popular.
But the time when Internet cafes really became popular was in 2001. That year, a multiplayer online rpg game called Legend truly brought Internet cafes into the golden age and completely entered the era of chaos and unmanagement.
But now, Internet cafes are still a small circle. Although there seem to be a lot of people sitting in Internet cafes during this period, they are actually empty.
The network administrator smoked cigarettes next to the host computer and threw countless cigarette butts next to the wire. It looked quite dangerous, but Chu Han had no choice now. The Internet cafe has not come out yet, and there are few regular Internet cafes. There are only this one nearby, so I can only make do with it and have fun.
"It's just that computer for an hour." Chu Han pointed to a large butt computer in an empty space.
"Are you a membership? It costs eight yuan per hour to get a membership." The network administrator asked absent-mindedly with a cigarette in his mouth.
“What is the membership?”
"I'm creating an account for you, you can remember it yourself and have a password. I've charged money in the account. Next time I come to our Internet cafe, open the computer and enter the account password and log in directly. Advanced?" The boss said proudly.
Chu Han couldn't help but smiled and said, "This is very advanced, but I just came to check the information. If I don't play often, I won't do it."
The network administrator was not disappointed, and showed his two-finger Zen in front of the computer at the counter, knocking and hitting, and then said two or three minutes later: "Okay, go."
Then, Chu Han came to the computer and pressed the white retro host.
I haven't seen it for decades. I miss this kind of host and computer.
Computers and mobile phones are the two fastest-developed products of this era. They change almost every year. In no time, this big butt display and this host will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
As the boot screen flashed, Chu Han couldn't help but exclaim to the network administrator: "Yes, boss, you have Win98 systems."
The boss smoked, squinted his eyes, and said proudly: "That's necessary."
