It wasn't until the train became a black spot on the track that Dong Qiangqiang got back into the car.
"Hello, I'm Dong Qiangqiang." Dong Qiangqiang said into the phone while fastening his seat belt, "Call me at this number just now."
"Oh, hello, hello, I'm Feng Chong, Zheng Chunhua's friend. She gave me your mobile phone number." Feng Chong seemed to have guessed what Dong Qiangqiang wanted to ask, and told him directly before Dong Qiangqiang asked.
Upon hearing that it was Zheng Chunhua who introduced it, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt confident: "Oh, is something wrong?"
"That's right, I'm currently studying for a Ph.D. in the Department of Sinology, and in my spare time I teach Chinese to foreigners in universities, Confucius Institutes and society. I heard her say that you helped her create the Trier Chinese Student Forum, right? ?”
Since agreeing to Zheng Chunhua to be the propaganda director of the student union, Dong Qiangqiang decided to do something within his power. The first thing he did was to build a forum with an independent domain name for the University of Trier.
The domain name is easy to solve. For a dozen euros, you can rent an international domain name with the suffix .com for one year. In addition, he still has the forum code of "Lebai" in his hand, so he found a free server online and clicked three times. Five divided by two, the forum was set up and handed over to Zheng Chunhua.
Zheng Chunhua didn't expect Dong Qiangqiang to be so efficient. She was so happy that she immediately spread the word. Soon, students came here because of his fame, and his popularity began to accumulate slowly.
"I did it. Sorry, what is the Confucius Institute you just mentioned?" Dong Qiangqiang had never heard the name of this institution before.
"Oh, that's right. There are only a few public universities in Germany that have Sinology departments, and the University of Trier is one of them. There are currently not many Confucius Institutes in Germany. The main ones are all established based on Sinology departments. You It can be used as a platform to promote Chinese and promote cultural and educational exchanges between China and Germany. In addition to Trier and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate where it is located, the Confucius Institute in Trier will also benefit neighboring states and even Neighboring Luxembourg.”
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly realized: "I understand, it is a cultural exchange window."
"That's right." Feng Chong took the opportunity to bring the topic back to the previous topic, "Zheng Chunhua mentioned to me that the establishment and maintenance of this forum did not cost the student union a penny, so I want to confirm it with you."
The other party claimed to be Zheng Chunhua’s friend, and it was unlikely that there would be any conflict in a forum. Dong Qiangqiang did not hide it: “The forum code is open source, and the capacity of the forum server is limited. At the same time, advertisements from the company that owns the server must be posted on all pages of the forum.” It’s free to use (the server). Any questions?”
"No, no, no problem, I just want to say..." Feng Chong hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I am teaching Chinese now. If there is a forum, it will be... very helpful for teaching."
Although Dong Qiangqiang is not a veteran, he has often encountered people asking for help since he came to Germany. He understood the other person's intention as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "So you want me to help you create a forum for Trier students for the Confucius Institute. Is it the same free forum? But you should have your own dedicated IT personnel, right? Do you still need outsiders?"
"No, it's not for the college. It's for me personally. Of course I will also put some content related to Chinese teaching in the forum." Although he couldn't see the other party's face, Dong Qiangqiang could feel Feng Chong just by listening to his voice. Feng Chong asked cautiously, "If I could trouble you to create this (forum)... how much would it cost?" Feng Chong asked in a whisper.
"I can give you the forum source code and server URL, and you can make it according to your own needs. The forum has many functions, but it takes time to debug, and I haven't understood all the functions." Dong Qiangqiang said this, implying He didn't intend to collect money from the other party, and also denied the possibility of helping the other party get it.
"Actually... that's the case. I don't know much about networks and codes, so... I still want to ask you for help." Feng Chong hesitated for a few seconds before speaking directly, "Chunhua and I have been friends for many years. She said you must I can help you, so I took the liberty of interrupting.”
Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to agree to this. On the one hand, his studies were very time-consuming. On the other hand, he had no friendship with the other party, and he didn't understand the other party's background. The whole matter was just a purely private matter, but the other party moved out of Zhengzhou. Chunhua, then he is really not suitable to refuse directly. Even if he refuses, he should at least communicate with Zheng Chunhua first. Thinking of this, he asked: "My studies are really heavy this semester. Are you anxious about this forum?"
"No need to worry, no need to worry." Feng Chong said twice as if he was afraid that Dong Qiangqiang wouldn't believe him. "Just have one at the beginning of next year. The function doesn't need to be too complicated. It's just like the student forum. But look at the cost..."
"In this way, I will reply to you when I finish this period. But don't be idle during this time. Some content must be prepared by yourself, such as the forum name, forum logo, and how many sub-channels to open. The name of each sub-channel is Wait a minute. I'll give you a list later, and you prepare according to the list."
Hearing that Dong Qiangqiang no longer refused directly, Feng Chong was overjoyed. He suddenly felt that his horoscope had changed. He hurriedly replied: "Then you go ahead and I'll wait for your list and reply. Thank you very much."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Qiangqiang called Zheng Chunhua directly to learn about Feng Chong's background.
Zheng Chunhua happened to want to tell him about Feng Chong, so the two made an appointment directly in the library.
"Male, unknown place of origin, unknown age, unknown domestic major, unknown when he studied in Trier. I only know that he majored in Sinology, but I don't even know that he is studying for a Ph.D."
Dong Qiangqiang gnashed his teeth after hearing this: "Nothing is clear, and your introduction is too abrupt."
Zheng Chunhua laughed and continued: "He is withdrawn, unsociable, and likes to be alone. Do you remember that I organized everyone to go to Paris in October? I notified him once by phone and invited him once in person, but he didn't go in the end. . I have never seen him get close to anyone. This time he took the initiative to call me and asked for your mobile phone number. I was actually surprised. I asked him why he was looking for you, but he didn’t tell me." Zheng Chunhua looked apologetic, "Sorry, I should have asked for your permission before telling him your mobile phone number."
Dong Qiangqiang waved his hand: "You are the president of the student union. It is normal for everyone to ask you for help. Don't overthink it."
At that moment, he recounted to her Feng Chong's plan to set up a personal forum in a few words, and finally asked: "As far as you know, has this person had any negative news or bad personal record in Trier? Although he asked The forum is not a hassle, but I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.”
Zheng Chunhua thought hard, shook her head and said, "If you want to say something negative about him, I really haven't heard of it."
"Okay, thank you, I understand." After listening to the introduction, Dong Qiangqiang made a decision in his heart.
"Are you going to help him do it?" Zheng Chunhua asked curiously, "Will you charge money? Although he is studying for a Ph.D., he may not have much money."
"free."
Although he was ready to help Feng Chong, Dong Qiangqiang still made up his mind: he had to leave a backdoor in the management of the forum. If Feng Chong posted something bad, he could directly delete it from the forum and get rid of it. After all, you can drive with caution for thousands of years. Boat.
