"In the US internet industry, I believe everyone has seen this happen. Regarding the future of the internet, I still hold a wait-and-see attitude in the short term. In the long term, it will definitely change the world. So for those who are committed to the development of the internet in China, I would like to propose a few directions: first, search engines; second, public communication platforms; third, online private communication platforms; and fourth, online shopping."
"Search engines are about information sharing. The biggest advantage of the Internet is that it spreads information at zero cost. As long as your website can monopolize information resources, you will be the king of search engines. Public communication platforms are like BBS, where you publish information, discuss information, and then publish information again, forming a closed loop. Online platforms for individual communication are like ICQ. Public platforms have an exposure function, so they need one-on-one communication or small circle communication."
"Online shopping is unlikely to take off in the short term, as it requires strong infrastructure. However, some people overseas are making attempts in this area. These directions are all fraught with difficulties, but if you succeed, you will definitely be among the richest people in the future."
The audience was already numb from listening, and most of them didn't know what he was talking about. But Zhang Chaoyang knew that he was saying that as the head of ISI China, his goal was to put academic materials on the Internet and achieve global academic sharing.
It can be said that developing search engines was his original profession.
The people around him were starting to get excited, and Zhang Chaoyang asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's all the excitement about?"
"Didn't you hear? President Lu said that as long as we do well, we'll definitely be the richest man in the future! For the next ten years, I won't do anything else but work in the internet industry!" the man exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Chaoyang was somewhat shocked as he watched the man on stage speaking eloquently. Many people tried to explain the internet but could never quite make it clear, yet this man on stage explained it so easily.
People today have absolutely no concept of the internet. What does it look like? How does it work? How do you search? Where do you search?
I have absolutely no idea what it is.
But he sensed that Lu Feng on stage seemed to have a clear idea of what was going on, as if he had seen him before!
The descriptions of earthen kang beds by northerners who have seen them are completely different from those by southerners who have never seen them, because northerners have actually seen kang beds!
Lu Feng's description of the development of the Internet greatly impressed him, especially the things he inadvertently revealed about search engines, which he found incredible.
For nearly two hours, Lu Feng talked non-stop, and sometimes he would blurt out things like express delivery, takeout, and online bill payment, but he would just mention them briefly.
It was these unintentional revelations that made Zhang Chaoyang begin to suspect that this guy might have traveled back in time.
After all, the Terminator movie is so deeply ingrained in people's minds.
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he put down the microphone, stood up and left. It wasn't appropriate for him to stay in this kind of situation for too long. Lu Feng stood up and glanced at the stage before his eyes fell on him.
Finding him staring intently at him, Lu Feng paused for a moment, somewhat hesitant to meet his gaze. He smiled at him and walked off the stage.
Zhang Chaoyang stood up and hurriedly walked out. He had to ask this question. He had once argued with many people about the topic of time travel when he was at MIT, discussing whether the Terminator might really be possible in the future.
Backstage, Lu Feng rested for a bit and took a sip of water when a gaunt man barged in. Upon seeing Lu Feng, he called out, "Mr. Lu, may I have a word with you?"
"Who let you in? Get out!" The security guard rushed forward to stop him, and it looked like he was about to kick him out.
Upon seeing him, Lu Feng hurriedly said, "Let him in. I have a few minutes. Is there anything you want to ask?"
Zhang Chaoyang walked in, stared at Lu Feng for a few seconds, and asked, "Can you answer me truthfully?"
Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Speak freely."
"Are you from the future?"
Lu Feng's heart jolted, as if struck by a hammer, and he froze on the spot. This was the first time he had ever been asked such a question!
