Chapter 350: Star Network

College students nowadays are not like those in the later times, who had to live on two to three thousand yuan a month. Now, ten yuan a week, fifty yuan a month, is considered normal.

A family is considered well-off if their monthly living expenses are over a hundred yuan.

Of course, those with monthly living expenses of three to four hundred yuan already belong to the local tyrant class.

It is obvious that the people Liu Yang called out did not belong to the local tyrants with wealthy families.

Liu Yang is selective when it comes to people.

Compared to the children of wealthy families, they are in greater need of a job that can earn extra income.

'Sorry, I'm late! Everyone sit, don't stand up. Let's order first, boss, bring the menu.'

'Order whatever you want, don't be shy!' Han Songlin appeared to be very enthusiastic, looking at them with eyes like an eagle seeing chicks, all wanting to catch them back.

Naturally, they were introduced to each other by Liu Yang.

The menu was given to a classmate with glasses, his name was Yan Hao, nicknamed Mouse; he looked a bit thin, but had a good bone structure and was quite tall.

Well, a bit handsome.

His hair wasn't bald.

Legend has it that the realm of a programmer is judged by the hairline, and the higher the hairline, the more senior the programmer.

Yan Hao glanced at the menu, casually ordered two dishes, and then handed the list to Han Songlin: 'It's better if you order, Chairman Han.'

Han Songlin looked at everyone and took the menu: "I'll order then, you're being so polite. Lamb, start with five servings, beef, tripe, and get shrimp chips and dumplings.'

Tang Yan laughed: "Order some vegetables, mushrooms and enoki mushrooms are good.'

'Okay, order them.'

'Do you drink?'

Han Songlin saw that they didn't drink, so he said directly, 'One bottle of Coke for each person.'

The Coke nowadays is not in a plastic bottle, but in a glass bottle, with a very characteristic packaging of the times.

Lamb itself has a pungent smell, but this restaurant, I don't know how it has been processed, the taste is not heavy and it is quite good.

After a round, naturally, they came to the business at hand.

'I'm looking for you to make a website, a website dedicated to collecting academic papers.'

'A website for academic papers?'

Liu Yang looked at Han Songlin with surprise in his eyes. He had never expected Han Songlin to get involved in this.

What did an academic paper website have to do with Han Songlin?

It didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

Han Songlin's desire to make this website was naturally not a spur of the moment idea, but something that had been carefully considered.

Did the Xinghai Group have a need for all kinds of academic papers?

Of course it did, and the demand was quite large.

When I think of the future of China's CNKI, it has the name of China, but it does disgusting things.

It makes a billion dollars in profits a year, and all the money is made from college students.

Just for checking the plagiarism of a paper, it charges more than 100 yuan.

If that's the case, it's better for Han Songlin to do it. Anyway, it's only 1995, and the World Bank kicked the CNKI project until 1998.

First, get it up and running, then talk to universities about including all their academic papers, as well as papers published by other research institutions in China.

The idea is to truly achieve the sharing of knowledge across society.

It doesn't matter if ordinary people can't understand it, but everyone should be able to see it.

Of course, Han Songlin also considered how the website would make money. Viewing papers on the website is free.

However, there are advertisements on both sides of the paper, which is considered an income.

Downloading the papers will require a fee, which is not expensive, just a few dollars per paper.

The bulk of the fees collected will definitely go to the authors of the papers, and the website will collect a small amount to maintain operations.

In addition, the website will also create a personal page for each author.

This will allow others to see how many papers the person has written, so that everyone can come and pay homage.

Everyone has a conceited heart, and these amazing people need to be known by everyone.

After all, fame and fortune are what life is all about.

Han Songlin explained his vision for the website. In addition to a database of academic papers, he also envisaged a very important function: an academic exchange forum.

In the future, all hackers, whether red hackers or white hackers, will come to Xingwang to exchange technology. This is the highest temple of technology.

'I hope that in the future, college students, researchers, and children interested in learning from all over China will be able to exchange and learn knowledge on Xingwang.'

Yan Hao's gaze at Han Songlin was full of reverence at this moment.

People always admire greatness.

What Han Songlin had done was undoubtedly great in Yan Hao's opinion.

'Can you make these functions I mentioned?'

Yan Hao thought for a moment and said, 'The thesis database is a bit more troublesome, but the communication forum is simple.'

'For real-name registration, we don't have a way to verify it right now.'

'It's okay, we can put real-name registration on hold for now. As long as people fill in their ID numbers, names, and contact information, we don't care about the authenticity.' Han Songlin was in no hurry. Real-name authentication would have to wait another ten years before it could be implemented in China.

'Come, let's toast!' Han Songlin raised his glass. This was not a toast, but a must.

'This project is not a money-making one. But don't worry, we won't let you work for nothing.'

Tang Yan took over the conversation and said, 'We have already formed a company called Xingwang Technology. If you are willing, you can formally join Xingwang Technology, which will pay social security and medical insurance for everyone.'

'Of course, everyone can also consider this job as a part-time job, with a lower salary than a full-time employee, and the company will not pay social security and medical insurance.'

'By the way, for full-time employees, the company provides free housing.'

Among the six people, three of them are already in their fourth year of university and must consider what to do after graduation.

Stay in the capital, go home, or head south for adventure.

If they stay in the capital, they have to consider the fact that it is a big city and it is not easy to find accommodation.

Talking about ideals without mentioning pay is just being a rogue.

Obviously, Han Songlin is not like that.

Tang Yan laughed and said, 'By the way, I have to tell you about the pay of the research and development staff at Xinghai Group.'

'The income of Xinghai Group's R&D personnel generally consists of two parts: a normal salary and bonuses. The normal salary is about 3,000 yuan a month, and the bonuses will range from tens of thousands to millions depending on how well you complete the project. If the project can bring profits to the company, 3% of the profits will be yours.'

Tang Yan took out a brochure from her bag, which was the Xinghai Group's promotional brochure.

Then she turned to the page about Lin Wei and handed it to them.

'Her name is Lin Wei, she is under 30 years old, the chief engineer of the Lucky Star Power Engine, and her annual income starts from one million.'

A million annual salary had a huge impact on people in 1995.

'I'm telling you this just to show you that the philosophy of the Xinghai Group has never been to make money by exploiting employees. We have a cooperative relationship with every employee, and we cooperate and win together!'

Yan Hao and the others couldn't help but look at Liu Yang, Han Songlin and Tang Yan, whom they were meeting for the first time. Naturally, they would want to get some advice from Liu Yang.

What could Liu Yang say at this point!
