Chapter 67: Naming the Navigation Website (1/2)

Zhao Ming watched from outside for a full ten minutes.

He marveled at the passion of the young people, amazed they could kiss in the same position for ten minutes.

He chuckled to himself, thinking this time Zhao Qingfeng was definitely done for. Once addicted, he wondered how Zhao Qingfeng would cope!

Satisfied, Zhao Ming left.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Zhao Qingfeng’s mouth and tongue were nearly sore from kissing.

“Ouch… hiss…”

Zhao Qingfeng removed the pillow wrapped in a plastic bag, expressionlessly saying, “Is this your so-called brilliant idea…”

Shen Lingyao burst into laughter, “You really thought I’d let you take advantage of me? Dream on.”

Her playful sweetness made Chun Tao’er feel a tinge of envy.

She had been in love before, but was deceived into becoming a dancer by a bad man.

Thinking of this, Chun Tao’er’s expression darkened, and she sighed longingly, as if lamenting silently.

“Oh, right.”

Zhao Qingfeng, observant as ever, quickly said, “Chun Tao’er, I forgot to remind you. You can start anew just by changing your environment. Once my business is settled, I’ll find you a better place. Life is nothing without love, right?”

Love…

Chun Tao’er was stunned for a moment, eventually nodding silently with a bitter expression.

Shen Lingyao noticed this and wanted to give her a hug.

But remembering Chun Tao’er was sick, she held back, asking Zhao Qingfeng what they would do next.

“Do something we love…”

Zhao Qingfeng joked, prompting a round of fierce pinching from Shen Lingyao.

With the crisis averted, they could now focus on serious matters as long as they didn’t alert the internet café manager. But there was no need to worry; the manager, obsessed with gaming, was currently engrossed in his computer screen, completely forgetting Zhao Ming’s words.

Time to register a domain name.

Zhao Qingfeng first thought of 114ba.

He even came up with the slogan, “Navigation website, go to 114ba!”

Since 114 coincided with the inquiry phone number, it was particularly easy to remember, and nearly everyone could recall it at once, highlighting the importance of naming.

Building a website required four elements.

Domain name, server or virtual hosting, website building program, and website material.

The domain name is the website address, usually ending in .com, .net, or .org. For SEO purposes, .com might be better, but the overall layout of the website and other factors were more important.

Choosing between a server and virtual hosting was up to the individual.

In 2001, the IA architecture server market in Huaxia was growing rapidly, and renting a server online was not difficult.

The real challenge was building the website and gathering web materials.

For a novice in 2001, building a website from scratch without templates and insufficient shared resources was as difficult as relearning a university subject.

Web materials were equally important.

The layout and maintenance of a navigation website, among other things, were not easy tasks for one person.

But one should never forget.

There are always exceptionally talented people in the world.

For instance, the CEO of ‘Zhengtu’ which would appear a few years later, once wrote 500,000 lines of code in 50 days.

Another example was the well-known founder of Kingsoft, Qiu Bojun.

He single-handedly wrote tens of thousands of lines of code in four months, creating WPS.

Zhao Qingfeng was not from their era.

But he shared similar attributes, even surpassing them.

It was just that in his previous life, Zhao Qingfeng preferred to remain anonymous. This was why he appeared as ‘Satoshi Nakamoto,’ showing the world the Bitcoin whitepaper, which had the potential to change the global economic system.
