Chapter 468 The Authentic Way to Eat West Lake Vinegar Fish! (Second Update!)
Yue Province, Hangzhou City.
Three pools reflecting the moon in West Lake.
Lin Yu held an oil-paper umbrella and strolled along the West Lake in early spring.
From time to time, he looked up and took a look at the Leifeng Pagoda next to him.
At the same time, he imagined whether he would meet a Bai Suzhen here.
But it was a pity that the drizzle in the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River was falling, falling on the lotus pond, on the broken bridge, and on the stone road, freezing all the people who were pretending to be cool by the West Lake into grandchildren.
After walking for a while, he couldn't help it. Lin Yu suddenly put away the oil-paper umbrella, buried his head, and rushed to the lakeside building at the end of the stone road.
Two days ago, on the second day of February, the day of thunder and awakening, after finishing his work in Guangdong Province, he brought a few people from the security department and the withdrawal documents to Yue Province.
As soon as he arrived in Yue Province, a cross-border message disrupted his next deployment.
Nicholas sent a message that his dear boss's son Greb had a new project to cooperate with.
As the saying goes, Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth, after careful consideration, Lin Yu decided to meet at the Lakeside Building by the West Lake.
Because after his many inquiries, the West Lake vinegar fish here is the best in the world.
After entering the Lakeside Building, he reported the reserved room number to the waiter at the door. The waiter in ancient costume naturally took Lin Yu into the reserved room.
In the room, Greb sat on the right and Nicholas sat on the left. In front of the two was a menu of the Lakeside Building.
The two were studying the menu boredly.
Putting down the umbrella and closing the door, Lin Yu asked the two curiously: "Have you ordered the dishes? What is the project?"
When asked about serious business, Greb threw away the menu in his hand, took out the backpack beside him, and took out a document printed on A4 paper from the backpack.
He handed it to Lin Yu and said: "The dishes have been ordered. As for the cooperative project, it is this, take a look first."
Lin Yu took it and opened it, and found that it was a construction concept description of the chat software.
This chat software has some ICQ shadows, and some Facebook shadows that just went online a few days ago.
Add to that the sloppy document description.
That can only mean one thing, the person who came up with this idea was based on ICQ, and then saw the current state of Facebook and designed this weird thing.
Well... it's a scholar's thing, it can't be considered stealing.
Knowing the core of this thing, Lin Yu's speed of reading it became very fast. After a while, he threw the document aside and spread his hands:
"It's not attractive. I remember that in February, there was a Facebook that was launched at your place. I asked my people in the marketing department."
"It is said that thing is okay?" "You copied that crappy thing? Also, if you have an idea, you should find someone else to cooperate with. Even if you have a bad plan, you can't find me to cooperate with you, right?"
Grab grabbed the document back and said with a smile: "Indeed, my thing is copied from ICQ and Facebook."
"Facebook officially debuted in America on February 4, 2004, and it was a great success as soon as it went online."
"So far, in less than a month, they have gained about 300,000 users."
"The valuation of this company is also rising all the way, and according to the information I got, this company Several founders of the company are already considering listing the company. "
"It is indeed a bit unauthentic for me to copy their software now, and I may not be able to beat them."
"But in addition to America and Europe, there are several other markets in the world."
"For example, South Korea, Japan."
"Another example is your China."
"According to your official data, as of the end of last year, the number of Internet users in your country reached a terrifying 78 million."
"If I can occupy this market, how much do you think my company will be worth?"
"I came to you because you are very conservative in this regard. I need a guide to help me introduce this software and obtain a license at the same time."
"And you can also become our company's regional general manager in China and get a generous salary every year. How about it?"
After making his purpose clear, Greb looked at the person in front of him with expectation.
After he gave Parison the task, Parison searched for relevant project information on the Internet day and night.
And Facebook, which had just been online for a short time, naturally became his tool for finding relevant information.
In his spare time, Greb also searched for relevant information on Facebook, but by chance, he smelled an opportunity.
It was a very ordinary post.
A post complaining that the McDonald's on 13th Street in Arlington was terrible, and the white clerk in the store insulted black people.
If it were in various forums in the past.
Such a post would at most attract a few complaints.
Because it was all text descriptions, it could not resonate with others.
But this was Facebook, and the post contained photos of the clerk swearing and threatening, as well as the detailed address and photos of McDonald's.
Within two hours of the post being posted, someone appeared in front of this McDonald's to protest.
And someone else posted a full text and photo broadcast.
That day, Greb was stunned when he looked at the constantly updated post.
That day, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a vague idea slowly formed in his mind.
For this, he also did an experiment.
He asked Parison to register a new account, upload some fake pictures to Facebook, and then add text to create a car accident.
The core is that an old man on a bicycle shuttled back and forth on the street, causing an ambulance carrying patients to overturn.
Within two hours after these pictures were posted, the number of views of this post reached 5,000, and it also appeared on the homepage of the website.
In the comment area of the post, everyone was blaming the old man.
But the problem is that the old man and the ambulance are not together at all, and they are two unrelated things at all.
And the old man has no face.
But the people who cursed him didn't seem to care at all, they just seemed to want to curse him.
On the third day after the post was posted, the incident escalated, and some people went to find the bicycle that the old man rode and the clothes he wore to insult him.
Although the scolding was as harmless as the baby's spoiled behavior, Greb also found what he wanted by relying on the before and after of this incident.
Public opinion.
Control public opinion.
A platform that can control and create public opinion.
Only in this way can he have a bigger bargaining chip.
In addition to America, he also needs to control public opinion in other regions!
Under his expectant gaze, Lin Yu shook his head expressionlessly, took the document from Greb, spread it out and said:
"Your idea is very ordinary."
"I must tell you that the 78 million Internet users in our country cannot sit in front of the computer and browse web information anytime and anywhere."
"I have also seen the Facebook you mentioned."
"After my careful observation, most people post this information mainly in the afternoon and evening, a small number in the morning, and a very small number can send information all day long."
"Consider these people's living conditions, and you will find that poor people are not qualified to participate."
"So your project has investment prospects, but the prospects are not great, because a person must first meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then sit in front of the computer and do these things."
"Besides, the chat box and login method in your file are too ugly and cumbersome swollen. "
"When you go out to do business, don't do what the Japanese do and add unnecessary obstacles to your customers."
"Especially when this item is not unique to you."
"Finally, it's your user choice. Your old-fashioned chat box is targeted at those old men, right?"
"Will those old men use this?"
"You don't even have enough understanding of your target users, and you rashly go on this project. To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea."
"Change to something else! If you insist on going, then I can only remind you one thing, young man."
After finishing what he wanted to say, Lin Yu threw the document aside, rubbed his hands, and asked excitedly:
"By the way, do you want some explosives? We have some spare capacity recently. Do you want to increase production?"
"But the price has to go up a little according to the previous orders."
After asking, he blinked his big eyes and looked at the person in front of him motionlessly.
He looked like a money-grubber.
Across the dining table, Greb silently grabbed the document on the table and opened it bit by bit. He was silent when he saw the chat bar and login interface of the software.
It was indeed... ugly.
But it was okay. The document in his hand was rushed out in two days.
In other words, up to now, even the folder has not been created.
Take this document back, re-sort the project, adjust some things, and then take the initiative to cater to young people as Lin Yu said.
Facebook will definitely be able to be launched by then.
He took out a pen from his chest and wrote down what Lin Yu just said. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he threw the pen and the document back into the briefcase.
Zipping up, a smile appeared on his face again. He put his hands on the dining table and asked, "I want to ask, can you make rocket engines?"
The question changed suddenly, and Lin Yu just brought the tea to his mouth. It was not right to drink it, and it was not right not to drink it.
He sighed, slowly drank the tea in his hand, and asked back: "Because of the Florida incident?"
This simple question made Greb recall those not-so-wonderful things, and his face turned ugly at this moment.
In silence, he answered erratically:
"My chief satellite research expert died, and there was no mention of him in the investigation report."
"So, our rocket research plan at Avenal can only be advanced."
"So I want to ask you, can you make rocket engines? If you can, make me a few."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu answered directly without hesitation: "No!"
There must be no rocket engines.
The purpose of making rocket engines by yourself is to make money from commercial rocket launches and to manufacture missiles.
Selling this rocket engine is purely to find competitors for yourself.
You can't do things like raising tigers to harm yourself.
This quick response made Greb a little stunned. After a few seconds, he woke up.
I was desperate and tried every possible means. If the company of the man in front of me could make rocket engines, then they could make aircraft engines.
But China was still importing aircraft engines from Ukraine and Russia.
I was so anxious that I lost my mind.
With a sigh, he turned the topic to the lake outside the window and asked, "I heard that a person was crushed to death under a building here during construction?"
"It has become a famous historical site?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu was stunned.
Nicholas, who was standing next to him, twitched his face a few times and corrected, "Mr. Greb, that was a myth, just like the story in the Bible where an angel sealed the devil."
"It wasn't when the building was being built that a person was crushed to death under the tower."
As soon as he finished explaining, the door of the private room was knocked by the waiter.
After getting permission, the waiter pushed open the door and walked into the room with the dining cart.
The first dining cart was divided into three floors. The upper, middle and lower floors were all filled with West Lake vinegar fish, and the dining carts behind were all filled with dishes from local cuisine.
After the dishes were served, the waiter left with a voice asking them to enjoy their meal.
The door closed, Lin Yu turned back to look at the two of them, and asked with gritted teeth: "Who ordered the dishes? Why did you order three of this fish?"
He decided to meet here. To be honest, he did want to ask Greb to try the West Lake Vinegar Fish.
But... he didn't want to eat it, he just wanted to watch others eat it.
"Me!" Greb raised his right hand and responded happily, and then immediately added: "I heard that the signature dish of this restaurant is West Lake Vinegar Fish, and I thought that this signature dish should be one per person, so I ordered three."
Looking at the other party's cheerful look, Lin Yu picked up the chopsticks helplessly and said: "How to eat this dish, I will only teach you once, watch carefully and learn well."
As he said, he picked up the chopsticks, tore off a piece of fish meat from the back of the fish, and rolled it in the ginger vinegar sauce on the plate.
Roll the fish meat in the ginger vinegar sauce and then stuff it into his mouth.
Instantly, a strong fishy smell, mixed with the sourness of vinegar, and the gingery and salty taste of ginger washed with raw water, instantly burst out from the tip of the tongue that touched the fish.
This fish...
Fresh carp bought from the vegetable market, the kind that is so fresh!
Putting down the chopsticks expressionlessly, Lin Yu picked up the plate with both hands, turned around, and used force.
The huge plate flew out from the window, drew a beautiful parabola, and fell into the lake.
It broke through the water surface and made a crisp sound.
Not long after, several black fish came to the place where the plate entered the water with the movement, bit the fish a few times, and left cursing.
At the table, Nicholas and the others saw what Lin Yu did, and for the first time they doubted a dish.
However, the two who did not believe in evil decided to give it a try.
Try it and you will die.
Just one bite, the two made the same action.
Hold the plate, turn around, and use force.
