Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: August 15, 2002}

The Sky Monkey is very busy today,

very busy,

Very busy.

Just after seeing off Zhuang Zhanpeng from the Hong Kong Provincial Airport with Li Ying, Zhang Miaoying and her entourage hurried to the store and were now on their way back to the airport.

As long as there was no communication on the road this day, Ning Zimo's mind kept spinning, especially about skrpe.

skrpe has experienced explosive growth in the past 25 days, with 2.1 million downloads and 2.7 million users in 25 days. After the first week, the growth did not continue to increase, but returned to normal. Otherwise, this would

I'm afraid it will grow to 3 million users in 25 days.

However, this result has exceeded Ning Zimo's expectations. After all, skrpe in the previous life only gained more than 1 million users in the first month after it was launched. Referring to this data, Ning Zimo originally planned to be content with getting 1.5 million users in the first month, but he did not.

The result was completely beyond expectations.

There are 2.7 million users and 420,000 online users at the same time, and 1/7 users are online at the same time. This result is already quite good. Therefore, at this time, Zhuang Zhanpeng and his team were asked to go to Luxembourg to establish the company and expand the server to Europe, not just

It is hosted through a US server.

These 2.7 million users asked Pan Yu to help coordinate 2 American servers out of stability considerations, and QQ with the same number of users would probably need more than 20 servers.

If you really compare it, you can save a lot of money and invest in promotion with peace of mind.

This is the biggest difference between skrpe and qq. Because all data in skrpe only exists locally, it also uses a p2p network architecture. This technology can make full use of the cpu processing power and network bandwidth of the client node, and has good scalability.

But it doesn't take up too much server resources.

Although p2p technology has such shortcomings in this era, it uses the stun protocol to accurately detect firewalls and NAT network types and penetrate them. In addition, Ning Zimo pressured Zhuang Zhanpeng and led the team to polish the compression algorithm for a year and secure encryption.

The agreement and penetrability make the current skrpe much better than the skrpe that was hastily launched in the previous life.

After careful calculation, Zhuang Zhanpeng and his team of 6 went to Luxembourg, plus the support of the God Penguin team. With 10 people planting flowers and 10 people in Luxembourg, the total expanded to 20 people, which can meet the development needs of skrpe within one year.

The next step is to make money to support skrpe, and remember to prepare some appropriate bait for Ms. Meg Whitman.

Otherwise, how can I make my first real pot of gold by relying on Ms. Whitman...

"Why are you smiling so weirdly again?" Li Ying looked at the corners of Ning Zimo's mouth and frowned slightly as she said, "Every time I see you smiling like this, I always feel that you are plotting something. You just can't get through it.

If it goes too long, something like this will always happen."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Ning Zimo quickly denied the three consecutive words, but even though his expression couldn't be seen, he still clearly felt that he was exaggerating.

But even though she knew she was being funny, Li Ying's eyes were smiling like crescent moons. The corners of her mouth formed an opposite arc to her eyes, showing a slightly restrained expression, but it was a rare relaxation in her life.

She just smiled, and slowly leaned her head against the palm of her hand, half leaning against the glass window.

She was so quiet and happy at this moment, an old time suddenly appeared somewhere in Ning Zimo's mind.

In their previous life, they had only known each other for a few years, so they couldn't remember how they got in touch with each other, or who initiated the invitation first.

But they often park the car at the beach to watch the sunrise and sit quietly one after another.

The way he sees her in the rearview mirror, or the profile of her leaning on the steering wheel from the back seat, is often exactly the same as her current quiet appearance.

Without thinking about anything else, Ning Zimo imitated Li Ying and rested his elbows on the lower edge of the car window, leaning on the other side even more lazily than she did.

Slow time swayed on both sides of the back seat of the taxi, drawing the same arc on the corners of the two people's mouths.

…

"Hi, Leah."

"Hi, Jennifer~~~Wow~~ah~~~~"

At the passenger exit, Jennifer rushed out and gave Li Ying a hug, then hugged her and spun around in circles while she screamed.

The magic of love goes round and round?

Both girls are talented and beautiful.

The image is really beautiful.

However, the joy of Ning Zimo and others seeing each other was so "scared" by this jaw-dropping scene that Ning Zimo felt himself being dragged out several steps by Chen Shijun.

"Oh my god, how could you let your secretary be taken down by Jennifer?"

"What secretary did you take down?"

"Li, that beautiful girl, how could you let Jennifer take her down?"

"Captured by whom?"

"Taken by Jennifer!"

"Who is the secretary?"

"Li..."

"Who to take?"

"Damn it, did you do it on purpose?" Chen Shijun tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to make himself look more murderous.

But Ning Zimo just stared at him with a smile for only a few seconds, and wiped away Chen Shijun's murderous aura.

Perhaps it was not his turn to be murderous, because Hoffman, Sachs, Pan Yu, Levchin and Lu Qi took turns sending bear hugs, so Chen Shijun could only silently follow the team and imitate their moves.

Came a note.

"Welcome to Planting Flowers," Ning Zimo smiled brightly, "You are welcome to go home, travel, and visit. Planting Flowers allows you to taste all kinds of delicious food and realize all kinds of life dreams."

"Oh my God, why didn't I realize you were a nationalist?" Sachs rolled his eyes, but found that this action was too subtle.

Ning Zimo naturally saw his little move, put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Nothing has national boundaries, but people do have national boundaries, so we have to be higher and think about doing something for mankind.

Something meaningful.”

"Wow~~~" Chen Shijun raised his eyebrows, "This is the first time I feel that I can be so noble."

"Of course," Ning Zimo smiled at him, making everyone laugh.

Hearing the hearty laughter of everyone, Jennifer slowly stopped. She was 1.74 meters tall, but she carried Li Ying around for many times without any effort at all. Putting Li Ying on the ground, she was so cute

She looked at Li Ying and said with a smile, "It feels really different to see you at Zhanhua."

Li Ying's feet finally landed on the ground, and she glared at Jennifer charmingly, "But I feel very different?"

Li Ying looked scared as she spoke, which made Jennifer's eyes light up.

After thinking about it, she reached over and whispered something in Li Ying's ear, and Li Ying's cheeks suddenly turned red again.

"Look, you are very busy with the skrpe project, but those of us who have resigned from Beibao have nothing to do." Chen Shijun lifted the bar and complained to Ning Zimo, "

It's not very kind of you to do this."

"Wow, you said the word "kindness", do Hoffman and the others know what it means?" Ning Zimo curled his lips and said.

"Well, we still understand this. After all, he and Pan always tell us about flower planting culture." Hoffman shrugged and said with a smile.

Ning Zimo raised his eyebrows, but did not dwell on the topic. He asked instead, "How are the other guys on the engineering team?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Zimo noticed that the expressions of everyone in Beibao were very strange. He was curious about what happened to these guys? Why were they so strange when he asked the other guys in the engineering team?

When he was confused, Levchin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Man, when you told us the three plans, we already talked with the engineers behind your back."

???

"How come I don't know?" Ning Zimo was very surprised.

Hoffman said cheerfully, "Man, your big plans always need people. We can't work alone, so we will naturally seek support from friends we know well."

"Yes, since we have an old friend from the past, why don't we use it?" Pan Yu smiled and said, "You are our creative genius at Beibao. Everyone thinks you are the one who can point the way for us."

"So, everyone else has sold their stocks and started to live happily, and they are waiting for us to start the project." Chen Shijun continued to pout, "Only we are watching your skrpe succeed, while waiting for the sale of the stocks, and at the same time returning

It’s very hard to wait for your business plan.”

Chen Shijun even used hard work. If Ning Zimo hadn't thought quickly, he would have racked his brains just translating from English to Chinese.

But these old guys explained things clearly to him that he didn't even understand.

"Wow~~"

Ning Zimo smacked his mouth, feeling that he couldn't speak because of his thoughts. What's more important was that his nose was sore.

Only then did he realize that the guys had done a lot of work behind his back.

This basically means that their cooperation in Beibao can continue in their own new way.

I have only been working with you for more than a year, and yet I am so recognized by these guys.

Is it because of the attraction of ability? Or because of the trust of friends?

Ning Zimo felt that he was a self-aware person, and he fully understood that the power of the latter was more valuable than the former.

"I don't know what to say," Ning Zimo licked his tongue, trying to use this action to cover up the overflowing impulse from his heart.

Chen Shijun laughed, squeezed to Ning Zimo and put his arm around his shoulders, "Man, you are right. Although we made a good deal at Beibao, we actually lost to Yibao. For this reason, we

Everyone is holding a breath in their hearts."

"Yes, I said at the time that as long as we work together, we can do something to change the world!" Levchin waved his fist.

With one word, Levchin brought Ning Zimo back to the last day at Beibao.

That day, a few of them stood on the rostrum of the "Arctic Circle", while Chen Shijun and Pan Yu were sitting in the audience.

At that time, Levchin said this.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered.

The important thing is that Levchin is serious!

Hoffman also came up, grabbed Ning Zimo's arm and said in a deep voice, "Man, that day you were pushed to the stage by us to announce the sale of the company to other guys. In fact, when we stood behind

We feel very sad when we look at your lonely back.

We know that you are leaving, and that is a farewell to everyone. But at the same time, we know very well that whether it is you, ourselves, or the engineering team sitting in the audience. When we bow, everyone must be

The saddest.

Because we could have done better, and you have allowed us to walk on this path. Therefore, we will not forget the unforgettable failure in the Arctic Circle. If we cannot decide in the past, then we will not be able to decide in the future.

We must break new ground, do something that changes the world, and do something that we can control!"

"you……"

Ning Zimo felt that he was almost moved to tears by these rough old men, but as soon as he spoke two words, the soreness in his nose forced him to be speechless.

Sachs came around and put his arm around Hoffman's shoulders, looked into Ning Zimo's eyes and smiled, "Man, we are not just trusting your ability. We are actually also trusting ourselves and our group of guys coming together.

When the time comes, we will definitely be able to exert important energy!”

"The important thing is that with you, a young genius with unlimited creativity, we will definitely be able to do things that ordinary people can't think of!" Levchin put his arms around Pan Yu's shoulders and spoke in a loud voice.

Lu Qi stood outside the circle, looking at the Beibao people who came from the same way and Ning Zimo, holding their shoulders and forming a circle.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other without saying a word, their eyes solemn but seemed to be transmitting some kind of energy.

"You may need some getting used to."

Jennifer suddenly walked up to Lu Qi. She looked in the direction of Ning Zimo and the others, then turned and smiled at Lu Qi, "In the past year or so, Ning's powerful ability has brought everyone together. Now, they are reunited."

When we come together, we will create a new era that will be more glorious than the Beiba era."

Lu Qi grinned lightly and turned to look at the people gathered in a circle.

They formed a circle, leaning over and putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

Ignoring the sight of others, they put their heads together and murmured something.

Suddenly, another girl's voice came to Lu Qi's ear.

"Brother Lu, as long as you are willing, you can quickly integrate into them."
