On the website and in the pictures, the speed of broadband had completely convinced the people of this era. However, this wasn't enough. Boss Jia had prepared a huge bomb!
"Mr. Prime Minister, you can try this software again!" Natsume Haruko said with a smile.
"I can, but don't use this computer as a comparison. I fully know how terrible the speed of the phone line is. This is a complete waste of my life!" The Prime Minister laughed. Natsume Haruko couldn't help but laugh. Then, she got someone to remove the computer used as a comparison, leaving only the computer connected to the broadband on the table.
At the same time, Natsume Haruko's mouse cursor stopped on a software.
"This is … a penguin?" Prime Minister Fusang saw where Natsume Haruko's mouse cursor stopped and muttered to himself in surprise. This was because the software icon was the image of a penguin in the Netherlands. What kind of software was this?
"This software is called QQ! It's the most popular instant messaging software on the Internet recently. It allows you to chat with netizens from all over the world anytime and anywhere! "Natsume Haruko briefly introduced the use of QQ.
Many guests below the stage saw the QQ icon and smiled knowingly. Obviously, they were also QQ users.
Now, QQ was a rather impressive presence in the world.
In this world, QQ started early. First of all, they didn't have to worry about the bad reputation of copying ICQ. Instead, they took advantage of the gap in the market and used the fastest speed to promote it globally.
When other companies started to make instant messaging software, QQ users were already all over the world.
This was the biggest advantage of online software. They didn't need to have any physical stores in the world. They only needed a website, a server, and an understanding of online marketing. Then, they could easily spread the Internet all over the world.
Especially in this life, QQ had received a huge amount of financial support. As soon as he started his business, he had 100 million USD to squander. Ma Yun used his fastest speed to recruit a large number of programmers. Then, using his advantage of being a translator, he pulled in a large number of part-time workers from Huaxia International Studies University and used the fastest speed to launch QQ in 12 different languages. The result was naturally popular all over the world.
After two to three years, the total number of QQ users in the world had exceeded 8 million, and 7.5 million of them were foreign users. The number of domestic users was the least. After all, the domestic network had not developed yet.
Fusang had a lot of loyal QQ users, so when they saw the QQ penguin, many of them smiled knowingly.
However, the popularity of QQ also made many people envious. Since last year, different instant messaging software had been launched one after another.
Although most of them were fleeting and did not pose any threat to QQ, in the middle of 1997, Microsoft launched MSN, and QQ met a serious competitor.
Microsoft relied on the monopoly of the Windows operating system in the market and shamelessly installed MSN software in all new Windows operating systems.
Therefore, although only a year had passed, the number of users of MSN had also exceeded 8 million. It was almost certain that MSN would surpass QQ's market share. Therefore, QQ was also very anxious. They heard that Ma Yun had begun to lose hair.
Sigh, he did not have much hair.
However, our Prime Minister obviously had not heard of QQ. In his curiosity, the Prime Minister watched Natsume Haruko open the software and was about to log in. Then he suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile, "Mr. Prime Minister, do you have a QQ number?"
"What is a QQ number?" The Prime Minister was stunned and asked.
"Then we can register one!" Natsume Haruko smiled and then clicked on the registration link of the QQ number and said randomly, "Mr. Prime Minister, please give yourself a net name first!"
"Net name?"
"It's your name on the Internet. This way, you will start a new life on the Internet!" Natsume Haruko said.
"Well, then I will call myself Rich Country for the People!" The Prime Minister said with emotion. There was a burst of warm applause immediately.
"You are really a great leader who always thinks of the people!" Natsume Haruko said sincerely and then entered the net name and let the Prime Minister design a password. Then the registration was completed.
Yes, it was that simple. As long as you have a net name and a password, you can register a QQ number. This was an incredible thing in the eyes of people in 2020.
But it was the same in any country, because almost no country had the concept of network legislation and regulation. Registering an account was so simple.
"555555, this is your QQ number. If you want to log in to QQ in the future, you only need to enter this number and password!" Natsume Haruko said with a smile.
The Prime Minister nodded his head indifferently, but this number was quite auspicious.
Everyone, don't laugh because Fusang and Hua Xia were different. Hua Xia's most auspicious number was 8, and Fusang's most auspicious number was 5. So 555555 was definitely the most auspicious QQ number in the whole of Fusang. There was no one else like it.
But now the Prime Minister only felt that this QQ number was very auspicious and did not hate it. But he did not know that a few years later, in Fusang, a six-digit QQ number, and a top-grade QQ number like 555555, would be very valuable.
Not to mention other things, a Daqian Han electric scooter could be exchanged.
Everyone only needed to imagine how valuable a QQ number 888888 was in Hua Xia.
In fact, this QQ number was already very valuable now. After all, QQ now had 8 million users, and QQ numbers had naturally entered the seven-digit era.
When the number of QQ users exceeded 10 million in the future, then QQ numbers would enter the eight-digit era.
So now, a six-digit QQ number was very valuable. On eBay, someone had already offered 10 USD to buy a six-digit QQ number.
So this 555555 QQ number was definitely not applied for now. It could only be said that it was prepared for our Prime Minister.
After completing the registration of the QQ number, the Prime Minister asked with interest, "What do we do next?"
"Next, we naturally have to find a friend to chat with!" Natsume Haruko smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. Prime Minister knows the QQ number of a familiar friend? We can add each other as friends now! "
"I don't know!" The Prime Minister shook his head. He really did not know.
"That's okay. We can casually find a like-minded stranger to chat with on the Internet now!" Natsume Haruko clicked on the QQ search button, and then clicked on the button to add a stranger.
"Mr. Prime Minister, what kind of person do you want to chat with?" Natsume Haruko asked, "When we search for a stranger, we can set three conditions: gender, age, and region. Then we can choose strangers who meet your requirements as friends!"
"So it's like this!" The Prime Minister thought for a moment. He naturally felt that a woman, a young woman, a fashionable young woman in Tokyo, was the best.
But he could not say this, and it seemed that setting any conditions was not suitable. Wouldn't this mean that he was discriminating against others?
So the Prime Minister said, "There is no need to set any conditions. As long as it is Fusangpeople, it is enough."
"Okay!" Natsume Haruko did not choose any conditions. She clicked on the search button directly, and then a series of online names appeared.
"Mr. Prime Minister, you can choose a netizen to add as your friend!" Natsume Haruko said.
"Then I will choose this one!" The Prime Minister looked at it and clicked on an online name called "I Love Fusang." This name is good. Everyone loves Fusang.
