Chapter Ten Dreams

  Setting up a website was a well-considered move by Su Jin, who wanted to engage in cultural industries. Traditional cultural industries include book publishing, tourism, film and audio industry, etc.

  But these industries have long been divided up by various forces, and Su Jin can easily make a living with his own foresight. However, if he wants to lead the entire industry and sit as the boss, that's just a crazy dream. At least for now, he doesn't have the capital for it!

  But he knew that two thousand years later, a new member was added to the cultural industry: network culture!

  And with the passage of time, the progress of science and technology, and the development of the era, this industry has become increasingly prominent!

  In 2011, someone said that in a bus, one out of every ten people was reading online literature.

  From this sentence, we can see how rapid and unstoppable the development of online literature is!

  And now is the time when network culture has just risen, next year, various literary websites will emerge on the Internet, such as Golden House, Literary City, Book Road and so on. Network literature will also officially enter the golden age!

  Considering these factors, it's not surprising that Su Jin decided to set up a literary website. Although most literary websites didn't have a good ending at the beginning, Su Jin believed that with his own foresight and intuition, he had the confidence to develop his website. After all, even if someone was destined to dominate the world in the future, they must have taken many detours and made many mistakes along the way. And Su Jin had the experience of his past life, plus the help of the system, if he couldn't compete with others, Su Jin himself would want to knock his head against a tofu block!

  As for why he came to Qian Ling, it has to start with Qian Ling's identity. Earlier, Su Zhen praised Qian Ling as being talented and beautiful, with both intelligence and looks, although it was flattery, but not without some sincerity.

  Qian Ling not only excels in various scientific studies, but also has a unique talent in computer science. According to Su Zhen's knowledge, the current Qian Ling is even a member of the Chinese Red Guest Alliance! It is said that her level within the alliance is not low! Of course, others are unaware of this, and even if Su Zhen had known about it in his past life during this period, he only knew that Qian Ling was good at playing with computers. As for the Red Guest Alliance, it was only after they got married that Qian Ling gradually told Su Zhen about it.

  It can be said that in another unknown aspect, Qian Ling's student career was also quite legendary! Participated in multiple online battles, captured online hackers, and even attacked the Pentagon!

  However, as she grew older and her mind matured, plus getting married to Su Jian, Qian Ling gradually retreated from the online world and stopped participating in some activities. Nevertheless, she still became the chief designer of an internet company, with a salary almost twice that of Su Jian's! This was something that Su Jian had always been resentful about in his past life!

  With Qian Ling's current level, helping Su build a website is no problem at all. Even if there are security issues later on, they can be directly 'handed over' to her!

  "Build a literary website? How did you come up with this idea?" Qian Ling said in surprise.

  "It's very simple, the main reason why my book was a bestseller this time is because of online promotion. In the future, I will continue to write books and still rely on online promotion. Although this time, cooperation with Four Telecom went well, who knows if they will make things difficult for me next time? Moreover, I feel that online promotion not only promotes my book but also benefits the development of websites. Why let 'fat' water flow into others' fields? It's better to create one myself! Besides, forums are not specialized literary websites after all, and uploading is not convenient. So, I want to build a specialized literary website! Anyway, it's said that building a website doesn't cost much money. I can afford it now!" Su's words were half true and half false, but overall, they reflected his genuine thoughts. Fatong had already paid the partial royalties for "The First Time", about 100,000 yuan. This amount was enough to cover the initial costs of the website.

  Qian Ling thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but building a website is not just about setting it up. There's also daily maintenance, regular repairs, and occasionally there might be hackers causing trouble. I can help you build it, but I won't be able to help with the rest. After all, I still have to go to school!"

  "Hey, Qian Ling, I know you're still a member of the Red Guest Alliance, aren't you?" Su Yan said with a self-satisfied smile.

  "How did you know? Who told you?" Qian Ling exclaimed in surprise, standing up and shouting.

  "What's wrong with you, are you afraid others won't know?" Su Jian said in a low voice seeing Qian Ling's 'fierce' reaction.

  Qian Ling looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she sat down and gritted her teeth, saying: "How did you find out, tell me quickly!"

  Su Jin smiled wryly and said, "Little girl, you really think this can fool me? People who play with computers are playing games. Are there any games on your computer? No games, just a bunch of code. Who wouldn't be suspicious after a long time? Later I asked someone and found out that it was used by hackers. So I suspected you were from the Red Hacker Alliance, and earlier I was just testing you, but who knew you would confess so readily!" Su Jin shook his head and spoke as if he were Sherlock Holmes, completely unaware that in his past life he had been deceived for nearly ten years, until after they got married did he find out about it.

  "Really?" Qian Ling was a bit skeptical, "Could I have been so careless? I remember being very careful!"

  "Cough, okay, this isn't the point. The key is that you're from the Red Guest Alliance, so you should have some resources in this area, right? Introduce me to a few experts." Seeing that Qian Ling still wanted to dig deeper, Su Zhen quickly changed the subject.

  "Alright, I'll introduce you to a few experts later, but I don't know if they will come to your small website. I can only help you get in touch with them, the rest is up to you!" Qian Ling was led astray by Su Zhan's words and started thinking about Su Jian's website.

  "No problem, I'll discuss with them later, you just need to help me get in touch! But I don't need anything too powerful, something ordinary is fine. After all, the website is still small now, and they only need to be responsible for daily maintenance, if there's really something going on, isn't there still you?" Su Jin said with a mischievous smile.

  "Hmph, so you're thinking of using me as a laborer now! I'm a master, how much salary will you give me?" Qian Lingjiao laughed.

  "Hey, what's the point of mentioning money? Won't that hurt our feelings? Besides, we're like family now, why distinguish between you and me? What's yours is mine, what's mine is yours! I'd give you the whole website if you wanted it!" Seeing Qian Ling joking around, Su Yan started smiling again. After his rebirth, he felt that teasing his wife a bit was quite an interesting thing to do.

  "Hmph, who's a family member with you? What's yours is mine, what's mine is still mine. Keep your distance from me in the future! Did you hear that?" Qian Ling, with her thin and delicate skin, couldn't withstand this kind of teasing and was getting angry and flustered.

  "Yes, yes, I understand. Mine is yours, and yours is still yours. Money talks, shall we discuss the specific issues now?" Seeing that he had said something a bit too much, Su Zhan hurriedly stopped himself and turned the topic back around.

  "So, what's the name of this website?" Qian Ling took out a notebook, ready to take notes.

  "Dreams. I hope this can be a place where we can make our dreams come true." Su Jin replied honestly.

  "It's a great name you've chosen, easy to remember and meaningful!" Qian Ling said, writing in her notebook.

  "Heh heh, it's like that."

  "What about the domain name?"

  "Su Ji. That's the pinyin of my name!" Su Jin said without hesitation.

  "You're so narcissistic! This has your full name on it!" Qian Ling raised her head and gave Su Zhan a strange look.

  "Haha." Su Jin responded with a silly smile. This was something he had thought of long ago, and now he was using every means possible to make people recognize himself. Of course, he wouldn't let the matter of domain names slip by!

  "Alright, since you're willing, let's just leave it at that." Qian Ling saw Su Jian pretending to be stupid and didn't say anything more.

  ……

  "Alright, that's all. You can go back first. I'll let you know after I've set up the website, which will probably take a few days." Qian Ling closed her laptop and said.

  "Don't I need to prepare a few servers? I remember those websites all needed servers." Su Jin asked curiously.

  "You can't tell, you still have some understanding of the internet!" Qian Ling looked at Su Yan unexpectedly and continued to say, "The server is something that is gradually added, specifically how much depends on your future traffic! If you only have a dozen or so visitors every day, do you need a server? As for simply building a website, it originally requires a server, but NetEase has just opened up free online space, which allows people to build websites for free. You can build one there first, and if your traffic is high in the future, you can set up a server and separate the website!"

  "Oh, I see! I thought building a website required a server." Su said with a smile.

  Qian Ling looked at Su Jin and didn't say anything else. After all, Su Jin had never been in contact with websites before, so it was already good that he knew building a website required servers. If he really understood the situation clearly, that would be strange.
