Chapter 578: very innovative

   Chapter 578 is very innovative

Entering Sergey's room, it was still as messy as I saw last time, with various things randomly placed.

A computer is placed on the desk, and two small spherical monitors are placed side by side.

There is another computer host on the ground. All kinds of network cables and power cables are messy and disordered. Be careful not to trip over when you walk.

The main computer made a "humming" sound, and the heat emitted made the temperature in the room several degrees higher than the outside.

Sergey picked up the dirty clothes from the chair and threw them on the bed, letting Wang Ye sit down.

Turned around and pulled out the small refrigerator placed in the corner, and took out two bottles of cold beer.

Wang Ye took the beer, sat down, and glanced at the computer screen, which was full of lines of code, which he naturally couldn't understand.

asked with a smile: "Sergey, you are a senior this year, haven't you thought about going out to find an internship or something?"

Sergey raised his head and took a sip of beer. He breathed out a sigh of relief before answering, "I don't have time to look for a job. I'm in charge of maintaining the school's local area network. It's a job. Although the salary is not high, it's good. You have the freedom to do whatever you want at your own time.”

On the Russian side, the internet fee is quite high. When Wang Ye used to rent an apartment, the internet fee was more than one hundred and eighty dollars per month!

You know, that was 2001.

The monthly salary of a university teacher is only four or five hundred dollars.

However, in schools, internet fees are relatively cheap, which is one of the benefits of students.

Like Youda dormitory, it is a monthly subscription of US$45 per month, unlimited traffic, but don’t expect how fast the internet speed is.

It’s no problem to see a webpage or something, but in those days, you really didn’t need a fast internet speed.

On the Mo Da side, the internet fee is even cheaper. It only costs $25 a month, which is also a monthly subscription.

And because of the large number of students, the local area network is quite good, and it has its own server.

is most famous for the various shared resources in their LAN server.

It is said that just a small H film can be as high as several hundred G!

You must know that at that time, a small movie was only one or two hundred MB.

Therefore, there are often students from other schools who come here especially with hard drives to copy small movie resources.

Wangye in the previous life also did such a thing...



It is obvious that Sergey's technology is quite remarkable to be able to get a job in maintaining the school's local area network.

Because this work is not simple, it also involves helping students to open the network, even assembling computers, and routine maintenance of servers.

Must be proficient in both software and hardware to be able to do it.

Wang Ye nodded and asked again: "You are about to graduate soon, do you have any plans after graduation, do you want to join a job, or continue to study for a Ph.D?

This question may have touched Sergey's pain point.

He drank two sips of beer in silence, then squeezed the almost empty beer can in his hand, making a screeching noise.

After a while, he said with a wry smile: "Of course, I will continue to study for a Ph.D., if you are looking for a job, there are no good jobs in Moscow. But whether to study abroad or stay in the university, I haven't decided yet..."

Wang Ye asked curiously: "You are a computer student, so it is naturally better to go abroad. Most of your students go abroad after graduation, right?"

Sergey nodded and said proudly: "Although we have few high-tech companies in China, there are quite a few computer-related talents! Students who graduated from the computer science and mathematics departments of several famous schools want to apply for scholarships from famous British and American schools. It's not difficult. It's just that I'm a little unwilling. Why can't we only go abroad to study for a Ph.D. and work for companies in other countries? Why can't we create several world-class high-tech companies ourselves!"

Wang Ye smiled slightly, "Now we also have good high-tech companies, such as YANDEX and MAIL.RU, two very good companies, after the merger, they will dominate the Russian Internet, and they will definitely occupy the world Internet industry in the future. a place."

Sergey grinned, as if he was not too impressed with the two companies that Wang Ye said.

He hesitated for a moment, but still explained: "These two companies are okay, but I think they are still lacking in creativity. They just follow other companies to imitate. The only advantage is that they are Russian-language Internet, and the competition is relatively small. ."

Creativity?

Wang Ye asked with a smile, "Then what kind of company do you think is creative?"

Sergey replied without hesitation: "Yahoo is, ICQ is, Amazon is, Google also counts, and Apple."

"Apple? Isn't that a company that makes hardware? How can you say it is creative?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

"It's mainly the online music store they launched last year. I feel very promising when the hardware and software work together," Sergey explained briefly.

Wang Ye nodded and asked: "So in our country, have you found some relatively innovative Internet companies?"

Sergey smiled smugly and reached out to twist the computer screen on the table.

"Look, this is a website I created. It should be considered the most creative on the Russian Internet at the moment. I'm not bragging about it." After speaking, he tapped the keyboard and opened a web page.

Wang Ye took a look at the probe, and the first impression was that this website is so simple...

The name of the website "All-Russian College Student Personal Short Blog" is written in bold Russian on it.

Below is a row of school names retrieved by the Russian alphabet, Sergey clicked the mouse and entered a university at random.

On the university page, there are various professional categories again. Click on a category again, and it is a blank page. Obviously, there are no users yet…

While operating, Sergey explained to Wang Ye:

"My website combines the current popular alumni records and personal blogs, absorbs the advantages of the two websites, and innovates. The existing blogs all publish long articles, so users are required to spend money on it. A lot of time and energy to write articles, but ordinary users have no interest in this. Therefore, I simply cancel the long blog and change it to the form of pictures and short articles..."

Wang Ye was stunned, this…

Isn't    the prototype of Facebook!

It’s just that this website that Sergey created is a website on the computer side, more like Weibo.

Of course, mobile phones these days are hardly used by people to surf the Internet, and naturally it is impossible to be a mobile client.

All Internet companies still target the PC side.
