Hello 2010

Lu Zhou's idea was very straightforward, is to buy and sell scarf.

Twitter in the United States was established in 2006, creating a unique social ecology with the help of 140 character length microblogs, and in the following three years, it became an upstart in the field of Internet social networking in the United States.

This is the unique charm of the Internet that allows everyone to speak freely.

At that time, there were nearly 100 social media platforms similar to Twitter in operation around the world, and in China, the earliest prototype was Fanfou, which was established in 2007 by Wang Xing, who later founded other group.

In 2010, Xinlang dominated Huaxia Weibo with selling scarf made locally online.

At this time, bib was a hot trend in China. After half a year of development, the number of users has reached tens of millions. ( TN - in the first few ch there are lot of information dumping so hang on )

By the end of this year, this number will skyrocket to 60 million, an increase of more than 20 times throughout the year, and will eventually jump to nearly 200 million users next year.

It can be said that, the two years 2010 and 2011 was the period of its growth.

Right now, Lu Zhou, who has no money and no one who can provide him some funds, he can only think about making quick case by buying scarf locally and sell it online.

Lu Zhou can register an account by writing a program, so that the acquisition cost of the bib account can be reduced to a very low level.

Lu Zhou chose bib as a platform to sell the scarf because it will sell rapidly due to its recent growth, he was sure that it will make him quick money due to his future knowledge.

Now that he has made a plan, Lu Zhou started to think who he can ask for help.

He murmured, "I don't need to ask for help from those who are at work, after all it's just a short-term work to make quick money, and I will contact them when I actually make Internet related program in the future. Thinking about it this way, there is only Fang Qiang is still preparing for his graduation project and he can help me."

In his previous life, Lu Zhou, after working for a few years and after accumulating experience, he also founded an Internet company with his several classmates and friends, they worked on small and medium-sized projects.

And in his previous life, Fang Qiang was also the part of the company which they had started together.

Fang Qiang is student of Luzhou University. Although currently he is bit out of touch, but they contact each other when ever they have time.

Right now, he is about to graduate, and he has plenty of free time. He can help him write code which can save Lu Zhou a lot of time.

After confirming that Fang Qiang was free and can helps him, Lu Zhou directly dialled Fang Qiang's phone number, and there was a burst of dialler tone from the phone, "Brother Lu, what did you call for? I am playing game with my roommate."

Fang Qiang continued "I'm going to graduate, and I can't find a job after class, so I'm playing monsters all day for leisure and entertainment."

However, there was a burst of complaints on the phone, "Qiang, what are you doing. The game is going about to start, so just hang up if you don't have any business."

Before Fang Qiang could speak, Lu Zhou said, "Okay, don't play the game for now, let your roommate find someone else. I have something to tell you about."

Fang Qiang is also a friendly person, it is a good thing since Lu Zhou will be able to talk about work easily.

Lu Zhou, who has worked for more than a year, occasionally takes out orders and small project from some companies, and some unfinished work is left to Fang Qiang.

Money is not very important to Lu Zhou, but for Fang Qiang, this money will determine the quality of food he will have on a date with his girlfriend for the next two or three weeks.

"Wait a minute brother I will go to the balcony for a quiet environment."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "This project is not for a job, but I plan do something my self."

Fang Qiang was also very carefree, "If Brother Lu wants to doing something himself, he doesn't need to pay me. Haha! By the way, what do want to do?"

This Fang Qiang is also a bit loyal towards him, but Lu Zhou didn't care about money, "Don't worry, if you do the work properly, the work money will be given properly to you. The project is not as big as you may think, it's just about buying and selling scarf. And other is mainly about an automatic registration machine and an automatic operation machine which functions such as simulated login and automatic attention and forwarding."

Fang Qiang was stunned and very puzzled, "Brother Lu there are indeed lot of my friends and classmates, who are interested in scarf, but I didn't think there are many people who wants to buy scarf. If it is really sell online, I can't see many people buying it. If we are not able to sell it then how we will be able to earn money?"

Lu Zhou said heartedly, "Young people, do not understand the eyeball economy? Everyone has a subconscious mind of narcissism, and they all hope that they can get the attention of others."

Lu Zhou paused for a moment, and then continued, "Bib has opened up this weekend, allowing ordinary netizens to speak freely on it. The user base of the bib is big, and among millions of people, there will always be people who will buy some fans for vanity. Of course, there are also more practical interest-driven in it, such as marketing accounts, in order to charge higher advertising fees."

Fang Qiang didn't quite understand Lu Zhou's series of new words, "What? Eyeball economy? Marketing account? What are they?"

Lu Zhou pinched his eyebrows, and he also did not expect that Fang Qiang will understand immediately, "You can understand it as a fan economy, if an individual has thousands of fans on the Internet, then this individual can obtain benefits through these fans. It's same for the scarf, don't some grassroots bloggers occasionally post about some advertisements? Because advertisers are interested in the fan base he has, all fans can see the blogger's scarf which will have a certain exposure rate. These are marketing accounts. Of course , UU reading is not large at the moment, but it will continue to increase in the future."

Fang Qiang was a little worried, "Then are we going to sell this scarf to the fans of this people?"

Lu Zhou also sighed and thought, " If we take one step ahead there is a chance we will fall ten step down", The success after selling the scarf has made Xinlang loat of money. Now the internet is rapidly developing, and people will not care about it for the time being. Now there are some sellers in Ali shopping malls who are selling scarf, but the overall scale they are selling is not large. If we did not grab this moment, there will always be people who will grab it away from us."

Lu Zhou went on to add, "At present, neither the official nor the relevant regulations care about it. It is a business that doesn't care about anything, and there is no violation of regulations. Moreover this is only a short-term plan, just as an attempt. It is not too early, I will writer a document later, if there are any specific problems, we will discuss it tomorrow. You can come directly to me tomorrow morning. "

After all, Lu Zhou is a person who had travelled back in time he had experienced the baptism of the Internet in the future. If he wants to fool Fang Qiang a young man in it, it just small matter for hum. After talking for a while Fang Qiang was stunned for a moment.

Fang Qiang also laughed loudly, "Okay, Brother Lu, I am relieved if you say there's will be no problem. Then I'll go play games first, and meet you tomorrow."

Lu Zhou talk about it and after discussing that they will met tomorrow, then he hung up the phone

Later, Lu Zhou also started the preparations.

He first opened the code editor and typed a few words, probably the first program any programmer writes at any time.

The beating cursor kept flashing after the black command-line panel displayed the greeting.

[Hello world]

"Hello World."

"Hello, 2010!"
