However, powerful people from all aspects got the authoritative figures they needed from the inside as soon as possible. Mr. Tao couldn't wait to report the good news to Secretary Yu: "I just found out that it happened to be nine million. At the end of 1999, the total number of Internet users in China reached nine million. Secretary Yu, your decision was indeed extremely wise, and there was absolutely no problem with the Eastern New City."

Secretary Yu was disdainful of the Internet economy a few months ago and knew nothing about various Internet statistics. However, just a few months have passed, and he is already one of the officials in the country who understands the Internet economy the most. Naturally, he is very clear about the true meaning of the data reported by Mr. Tao.

As of December 31, 1998, there were 210,000 netizens in China. At that time, an authoritative forecast in early 1999 that there were only 180,000 netizens in China. Based on the base of 180,000, it made an estimate that the total number of Chinese netizens reached 30,000 by the end of 1999, but this was already quite optimistic forecast data at that time.

However, the actual growth of Chinese Internet users has reached everyone's expectations. No one expected that at the end of June 1999, six months have passed, China's Internet users reached 40,000, and now it has increased by 50,000 users in half a year, reaching 90,000, which is only one step away from the 1% penetration rate. This data is even an increase of 100,000 people compared with the 890,000 in another time and space, which is also the greatest significance of the variable Yi Ruoshui.

Therefore, Secretary Yu immediately knew that he had won a great victory in his betting on Starry Internet: "Xiao Tao, the official data has not yet come out, there is no need to be so objective now, maybe there will be a little fluctuation!"

Mr. Tao knew how to comfort Secretary Yu: "Secretary Yu, any small fluctuations will not affect the conclusion. Moreover, it is now a double happiness. Teacher Wei Shuanghua's Starry Sky International has just been successfully listed in the United States, and Starry Sky Internet is about to launch a convertible bond of US$300 million, which can be said to have cleared the final obstacle for the construction of the Eastern New City."

When it comes to Star International's successful listing in the United States, Secretary Yu still couldn't control his excitement: "Teacher Wei Shuanghua will go back to Xingzhou during the Chinese New Year. We must receive it well. By the way, you said that since the Internet users exceeded 90,000 by the end of 1999, is there hope to exceed 2ooo ten thousand by the end of 2ooo?"

Mr. Tao has repeatedly considered this issue, and he even specifically asked in the inside line: "I have asked there specifically, and it shows that the annual growth may slow down a little, but even if it cannot exceed 2ooo, it is absolutely no problem to maintain this year's growth."

This year, China's Internet users have increased by nearly 70,000. Even if the current increase is maintained next year, China's Internet users can reach 1.60,000, which officially exceeds 1%. There is unlimited possibility for any industry to exceed 1%. Thinking of this, Secretary Yu said to Mr. Tao on the phone: "Let's talk to your friends, please tell them about the abolition of Xingzhou County and the establishment of a district. They may not be able to get big projects in the provincial capital, but everything is easy to deal with when you come to Xingzhou. But you also know that the premise for the launch of the Eastern Network New City is that Xingzhou County will abolition of the county and the establishment of a district."

Mr. Tao also confirmed this matter with Yi Ruoshui: "Okay, okay, I'll go and urge them right away."

Yi Ruoshui answered eleven calls in one go, and everyone informed him of the number of Chinese netizens in advance at the first time. Yi Ruoshui not only knew this number at the first time, but also knew that the number of Chinese netizens will remain at a growth rate of 110,000 to 120,000 a year in the next two years. It made everyone think that when the potential of the Chinese market is limited, it will suddenly start to grow by at least 20,000 a year after 2oo2 years. Moreover, this crazy growth momentum will last for more than ten years, with a peak of nearly 100,000 a year.

But although he knew these numbers well, Yi Ruoshui still remembered Wei Shuanghua, who fought for independence in the United States.

Although Starry Sky International's stock has been successfully listed, this round of Internet bubble has reached its peak. After Starry Sky International's listing, the stock price has not risen. Moreover, Yahoo still adopts a policy of both ends. Although Starry Sky Internet has become Yahoo's default search engine in many countries, Yahoo is still unwilling to let Starry Sky International, a search engine with Chinese background, become Yahoo's default search globally, which makes Wei Shuanghua feel very stressed in the United States, so Yi Ruoshui really wants to share this good news with Wei Shuanghua.

But the good news calls were one after another. Although he wanted to call Wei Shuanghua to report the good news, he had to answer these calls one by one now. Yi Ruoshui answered the good news calls for half an hour before he had time to call Wei Shuanghua. After the call, he told Ji Xueyao: "Yini told Teacher Wei that he had to strike while the iron was hot now and he would definitely take down the convertible bonds of 300 million US dollars smoothly."

Xie Yuhong didn't expect Yi Ruoshui to have such great ambitions: "The current situation will continue to have a convertible bond of US$300 million. Are you not afraid of shareholders pointing at us and scolding?"

But Yi Ruoshui also has his own opinion: "A few months later, shareholders have to thank us. We just deposited US$300 million in the bank and regularly outperformed 90% of the stocks in the market. Moreover, Teacher Wei said that she would come back for a long holiday during the Spring Festival, and I had to hand over a qualified homework."

Lin Ya whispered: "Yes, everyone is together, by the way, have you thought about this assignment for the Spring Festival?"

Ji Xueyao and Xie Yuhong next to this sentence blushed. This was not an ordinary homework, and Yi Ruoshui on the other side also became serious: "Lin Ya, Xueyao and Yuhong, I, are all following your arrangements!"

If the combination of the sister Guo Huijun and Chang Qinzhu has always been Guo Huijun's decision, then the three sisters Ji Xueyao seem special. Although Ji Xueyao is unattainable and Xie Yuhong is particularly strong, Lin Ya is the core of the entire three-person group. This time it was not Lin Ya who made the decision, Yi Ruoshui had no chance to live with Ji Xueyao and the other three and break through the last bottleneck between men and women.

Lin Ya has always had a lot of ideas: "Teacher Wei's homework seems easy, but in fact it is the most difficult to hand over a qualified answer. Are you willing to listen to my arrangements?"

But Yi Ruoshui knew that Lin Ya had already made arrangements: "Lin Ya, you are more wronged and considerate of me than me in this matter, and I will follow your arrangements!"

Lin Ya responded softly: "The key is not to let Teacher Wei suffer grievances."

For Wei Shuanghua, she hasn't returned to China for more than a year, and her real hometown is not in Xingzhou, but she still decided to celebrate the New Year in Xingzhou without hesitation.

But as soon as he got off the plane and saw Yi Ruoshui's figure, Wei Shuanghua relaxed and fell asleep directly in the business car. After sleeping for more than half an hour, he finally woke up. However, the first sentence asked: "The stock price in the United States has not fluctuated, right?"

Although Yi Ruoshui told her not to care too much about the stock prices of Starry Sky International and other competing companies, Wei Shuanghua still couldn't help it, and Yi Ruoshui gave a clear answer: "Sister Shuanghua, why do I do if I care about the stock price? After the convertible bond bank of 300 million US dollars, we have already been invincible. After this spring, we will care about the stock price. Instead of caring about these, you should help me persuade Xie Yuhong!"

Wei Shuanghua asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Xie Yuhong? I knew you could never suppress Xie Yuhong!"

Xu Jingyi in the back seat immediately told Wei Shuanghua what big things happened: "There is nothing big, bsp;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Yi Ruoshui quickly said: "Teacher Wei, it's not the case. I took the initiative to resign because I think I can just focus on the general direction of technology in the Starry Sky Internet business. Sister Xiuli may be more suitable for the CEO position than me!"

Wei Shuanghua already understood: "Then which business are you going to be responsible for? Are you building games?"

Yi Ruoshui whispered: "Games are the most important profit direction for Starry Internet in the next ten years and twenty years. It can be said to be the cornerstone of Starry Internet, but I am still a young man with dreams!"

Wei Shuanghua understood as soon as he heard about his dream: "Are you going to leave your job and start a business, leaving SSA like Mr. Rogerwei? But the teacher hopes you stay!"

Yi Ruoshui laughed: "I can't leave Starry Internet, but I have some very crazy ideas and want to borrow some of the company's resources to prepare in advance."

Xu Jingyi next to him also thought Yi Ruoshui's idea was very interesting: "I don't understand why our Xiaoyi had such an idea. The business in the game alone is enough to support Starry Internet in the next twenty years, but I have to say that no matter what Xiaoyi wants to do, I will fully support him, just like Xie Yuhong!"

Wei Shuanghua suddenly realized that the reason why Yi Ruoshui was preparing to quit CEO was because she wanted to realize his personal dream, so she couldn't help laughing: "After our Starry Sky International went public, many people realized their financial freedom and were preparing to resign and start a business. I heard that Starry Sky Internet also has this situation, but I didn't expect Yi Ruoshui to have such a dream. Yi Ruoshui said what you want to do!"

Yi Ruoshui said very clearly: "Make hardware!"

Wei Shuanghua didn't expect Yi Ruoshui to give such an answer: "Do you make a chip?"

Jiang Yulian, who hadn't spoken much, said, "Yi Ruoshui just saw that there was no chance to invest in chips. He was originally planning to grab my position to be a technology officer in Xi and arranged for Ji Xueyao, Xie Yuhong, Lin Ya and others to do e-commerce, but Xie Yuhong felt that this was the most challenging task to prepare to be responsible for the company's hardware department."
