Chapter 485
"Ningguang, have you received the email?"
"Received. We have also seen the webpage you mentioned. They are all very good."
Ningguang first praised the practicality of the network, and then changed the topic to the newcomers of the General Affairs Department who went to Guilicheng for training:
"Hanxiao, how are the newcomers we sent for training doing?"
"They'll be finishing their training in just a few days."
"How did they learn?"
"It won't be a problem to help you maintain your network."
After hearing Ningguang's inquiry, Han Xiao also gave a more realistic evaluation.
Among this group of people who received training, except for a few Dai Yang who had the talent to continue their studies, most of the others had their upper limit tested by Fa Lushan.
If they study hard, they may become programmers in the future, but their abilities are not particularly outstanding, but they are enough for daily network maintenance.
"That's good!"
Ningguang didn't quite understand what Han Xiao said about the top programmers. The other party could guarantee that the newcomers who received training could help Liyue Port maintain the stability of the network. In her opinion, this was enough for the time being.
Anyway, the Internet has just started, and there will be plenty of time to train those so-called top programmers that Han Xiaokou calls.
...
While Han Xiao and Ning Guang were talking on the phone, Abedo also informed Xing Qiu about the Internet connection.
After getting the news, Xingqiu also took people to try out the new functions of the Internet in Kuixing Tower, and then sent people to spread the news about the Internet access to the Internet cafe.
Not long after, everyone who was playing games and reading e-books in the Internet cafe learned about this situation, and the entire Internet cafe was suddenly involved in discussions.
"Hey...what do you think this network is?"
"Who knows, but seeing as Kuixing Tower has specially sent people to explain it, it must be something extraordinary."
"Didn't that person provide us with some kind of URL before... Let's try it and find out soon!"
"Right!"
In a few simple discussions, some people who were more curious immediately chose to follow the other party's prompts to see what the so-called portal was.
Click Browser and enter the URL.
Soon, the page that Ningguang and the others had seen before appeared again in the Internet cafe.
"Awesome, my God!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the various news summaries arranged in sequence on the web page.
I didn’t expect a desktop computer to have such a function!
Vaguely, they felt that the emergence of the Internet meant that Liyue might undergo great changes in the future.
The facts did not exceed their expectations.
In the next few days, the somewhat unfamiliar word "Internet" came out of the mouths of people who came to the Internet cafe, and spread throughout the city at an extremely fast speed.
Most people know that there is a new function in the Internet cafe in Guilicheng, which allows you to receive various messages released by Kuixinglou while sitting in front of your desktop computer.
It was only then that most people in Liyue realized that desktop computers might be more powerful than they imagined.
Of course, those who reacted faster than these Liyue people were the foreigners doing business in Guili City, among whom the Xumi merchants paid the most attention.
...
In a rented house in Liyue, several members from the caravan of Mr. Sangge Mahabhai, a great businessman in Xumi, were gathering together, with a little wonder remaining on everyone's face.
The reason why they were amazed was because they had just gone to an Internet cafe to experience the so-called Internet.
"Everyone, please tell us what you think."
Sarna, who is the director of the caravan, spoke first. They gathered this time to discuss desktop computers.
"Impressions...how should I put it, a bit shocking."
Hearing Supervisor Sarna's inquiry, one of them smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I heard Liyue people boast that desktop computers would be comparable to void systems in the future. I was dismissive at first."
"Later, even though desktop computers introduced functions such as electronic libraries and games, I still insisted on my opinion."
"It wasn't until the emergence of the so-called network today that I discovered that desktop computers seem to be as functional as our Void system, and they may only be slightly inferior in terms of portability."
His words immediately resonated with everyone present.
yes!
As the people of Sumeru, even though the Little Lucky Grass King ordered the shutdown of the void system, they have always regarded it as the pride of Sumeru, and they have a vague sense of superiority towards other people.
They never expected that the Liyue people would teach them a good lesson today.
Chapter 791 Potential Market
The void system is a relic of the first grass god, the Great Ci Tree King.
Its extremely powerful function helped the Order Council five hundred years ago to stabilize Sumeru, which had become chaotic due to the sudden loss of its gods.
Later, he gradually integrated into the lives of Xumi people and became an indispensable helper for them.
Although some time ago, it was revealed that the void system occupied the calculation capacity of the Sumeru people's brains, causing King Xiaojixiangcao to announce the shutdown of the void system.
But how can I put it, years of habit have made Xumi people still a little unaccustomed to the life of losing the void system.
There has even been a voice in Xumi recently, hoping that the Little Lucky Grass King will reopen the void system.
Sarna and the others, businessmen who have been doing business in various countries all year round, are not particularly concerned about these trends that are happening in Xumi.
The Void System is indeed easy to use, but after leaving the country, the terminal became just a decoration.
Therefore, these people are not as dependent on the void system as other Sumeru people.
However... even if they are not very dependent, it does not prevent Sarna and the businessmen from being extremely proud of the void system.
After all, they have traveled to various countries in Teyvat and have never seen that country with such a convenient item as the void system.
At most, the development of some areas in Fontainebleau and Zhidong in recent years deserves their attention, while the rest and a few countries are not worth mentioning at all.
However, this idea changed drastically after arriving in Guili City more than a year ago.
Inventions such as cement roads, electric lights, electric vehicles, etc. made the Sarna people realize that Liyue was already catching up, and even surpassed Xumi in some fields.
The newly appointed Tianshu Xing Hanxiao, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, is the alchemist master Abedo who has always been regarded as a peerless genius by the Order Academy.
It was these two people who led the rapid development of Guili City behind the scenes.
Their boss behind the scenes, Mr. Sange Mahabhai, even bluntly stated that he would focus on these two people.
Sarna and the others did exactly that.
However, when they heard the rumor that Han Xiao and Abedo planned to develop an invention comparable to the void system, they almost laughed out loud.
Yes, it is indeed impressive that you, Tianshu Xing Hanxiao, and alchemist master Abedo can develop certain fields in Liyue to the point of surpassing the Order Academy in just two years.
But what is the void system?
That was a product made by King Daci Tree himself, a legacy of the God of Wisdom!
Do you want your newly invented product to be comparable to the void system?
Hahaha... what an international joke you are kidding!
And the actual development is indeed similar to what people like Sarna expected. Desktop computers were not popular as soon as they appeared and were not favored by the people of Liyue.
Even though the function of the electronic library does seem to be somewhat similar to the void system, they still believe that it cannot affect Xumi's void system at all.
Even though Hanxiao later opened up the game function and the popularity of desktop computers increased slightly, it did not change Sarna's view.
The stuff is good, but it’s a bit early to say it’s comparable to the Void System!
Just when they thought the matter was over, a sudden piece of news caused things to stir up trouble again.
Desktop computers are officially online!
After receiving the news, Sarna and others rushed to the Internet cafe as soon as possible. After experiencing the so-called network and portal functions, each of their faces changed.
Because they discovered that the Liyue people's usual boast about desktop computers being comparable to void systems seemed to be changing from falsehood to reality.
It turns out that there are really people who can create things that rival the gods!
So there was a scene where Sarna and several people gathered together.
...
Dong dong dong——
In the rental house, Sarna stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, then looked around at everyone and said slowly:
"Let's talk about how we should report the news of the desktop computer to Lord Sange Mahabhai."
"Director Sarna, although the functional iteration of desktop computers is gradually moving closer to the void system, this shouldn't have much to do with us, right?"
After hearing Sarna's inquiry, one of the people participating in the meeting suddenly asked, with an expression on his face that seemed a bit unclear.
Yes, after several functional iterations, desktop computers have indeed begun to catch up with the Void system.
And compared to the void system, there are fewer security threats.
But these don't seem to have much to do with their group of businessmen, right? Aren't the people who should pay attention to those in power in the Order House?
"No, you are wrong. The emergence of desktop computers has nothing to do with us."
Upon hearing the question from the person below, Sarna slowly shook his head, indicating that the other person's thinking was too simple.
Perhaps on the surface, this group of businessmen are worried about the problems of desktop computers.
But you can't just take everything at face value.
At present, desktop computers have already gone through two functional iterations not long after they were born, and have similar network functions to those of the Void system.
Everyone in Xumi is familiar with network functions. Historically, as soon as this thing appeared in Xumi, it became widely popularized in a short period of time, and created the first academic explosion in the Academy of Education.
It can be said that the success of the void system is inseparable from the application of network functions.
Now that Liyue's desktop computers are showing signs of this, I'm afraid that Liyue will also usher in the Internet explosion like Xumi in the past, thereby reaping the dividends of the times.
Of course, this is not what Sarna is most concerned about. What he is more concerned about is that with the explosive growth of desktop computers in Liyue, Liyue Qixing is bound to promote it to the other six countries.
Among the six countries, they Xumi may not be able to resist the temptation of this thing.
After all, there are still people in Sumeru calling on Little Lucky Grass King to reactivate the void system.
If they discover that the desktop computer can not only replace the void system in terms of function, but it will also not cause harm to the human body.
It is estimated that these people will definitely welcome desktop computers to the Xumi market with their hands raised high.
After explaining his thoughts to everyone, Sarna slowly spoke out his thoughts.
"I judged that desktop computers would enter the Sumeru market sooner or later, so I considered whether to report this matter to Lord Sange Mahabhai."
"I agree with your judgment."
After listening to Sarna's thoughts, one of them immediately nodded and echoed:
"I believe everyone has also seen the speed of evolution of desktop computers. Director Sarna's prediction may be realized in the next few years."
"In this case, we cannot miss this opportunity. As long as we can win the exclusive sales agency rights for desktop computers in Xumi, everyone here will make a lot of money, right?"
"After all, Lord Sange Mahabhai has never been stingy in rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds."
Chapter 792 Sales Rights
"Your idea is good, but the question is how should we establish a relationship with that Tianshu star?"
In a rental house.
I heard that other Xumi businessmen who participated in the meeting agreed with my speculation, and planned to win the exclusive sales agency rights for desktop computers before other large merchants in Xumi could react.
While Sarna agreed, he also discovered a problem. They were not familiar with Tianshu Xing Hanxiao at all!
The only time the two sides crossed paths was when they escorted Romani Solomon to Sumeru.
However, considering that the caravan who caused great trouble in Xumi, the caravan affiliated to Master Sangge Mahabhai did not dare to speak out about this incident, for fear that they would be held accountable by the Order Council.
