In recent years, with the advent of the information age and the widespread use of the internet, new dimensions have been added to people's lives, and businesses have gained new platforms. The colorful life on the internet has also given rise to many new professions, one of which is a network designer.

[Voiceover]: In just a few years, large and small network service companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain across Yancheng. Wang Honghai, who started his tech information company from scratch, has already become well-known in our city. When talking about his entrepreneurial experiences, Wang Honghai always feels deeply moved.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai: "One winter day, I fell off my bike while descending Liberation Bridge. The bike was thrown far away, my hands and legs were injured, but there was nothing I could do but shed tears and continue looking for clients."

[Voiceover]: Without clients or assistants, Wang Honghai felt very helpless back then. "At that time, I was a lone soldier. I did the design myself, and I ran the market myself. There were fewer people who understood networks back then, so it was difficult to find an assistant."

[Voiceover]: Finally, the company got its first client, but the network design work was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai: "At the beginning, all clients used dial-up internet, and the computers were borrowed. Both software and hardware configurations were very low. If we were to do something now, it would take us hours sitting in front of the computer, and thinking back, the work back then was quite terrifying."

[Voiceover]: The darkness was brief, and light soon followed. The development of the information industry quickly changed Wang Honghai's working environment.

[Concurrent Sound]: "Now it's different. We have a 10-megabit fiber optic line at the company, and the internet speed is fast. Look, the software and configuration of the computers are very high now. If we were to do the work that took a whole day back then, it can be completed within an hour now."

[Voiceover]: What excites Wang Honghai more is that the number of clients is increasing, and their requirements are constantly upgrading.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai: "This is one of our first clients, whose requirements were relatively simple, only static pictures. Now, clients' requirements are getting higher and higher. They not only require diversified presentations of products but also three-dimensional displays. At the same time, they demand increasingly better overall stereoscopic effects."

[Voiceover]: As clients' requirements increase, the demands on designers themselves are also continuously improving.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai: "The first feeling in design is visual. The development of the network design industry can be described as ever-changing. Clients' requirements are getting higher and higher, but their increased demands greatly help improve the skills of designers and enhance our business capabilities."

[Voiceover]: While conversing with Wang Honghai, a phone call let us feel another side of him outside of work.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai (Phone ringing): "It's an old friend, inviting me to exercise tonight. We often sit in front of the computer, and a common occupational disease is cervical and lumbar spine problems. If we have spare time, we go out to exercise."

[Voiceover]: Although the work is very hard, making things that satisfy clients makes Wang Honghai feel reassured. He specially led us to the latest second-hand goods trading market of Wuxing Village Industrial Park.

[Concurrent Sound]: General Manager of Yancheng Aladdin Technology Information Co., Ltd., Wang Honghai: "Nowadays, internet usage among urban residents, enterprises, government, and even families is very popular, allowing people to do various tasks online. Not only in cities, but also in rural areas, farmers are using the internet at home. Farmers in Wuxing Village sell their agricultural products online for online sales and transactions. This visit to the second-hand goods trading market in Wuxing Village is because they want to create a professional second-hand trading platform."

[Concurrent Sound]: Wang: "Let me prepare a plan for you." Liu: "Alright, we'll fully entrust your network company with other matters." Wang: "Okay." Liu: "Good?" Wang: "Sure."

[Concurrent Sound]: Responsible person of the second-hand goods trading market in Wuxing Village Industrial Park, Liu Yong: "For us, the internet is very convenient. Products appear on the internet with open, fair, and just prices. Customers need only click the mouse lightly, and we will send a professional team to provide door-to-door services for acquisition and adjustment."

[Voiceover]: Nowadays, the development of information networks has penetrated every level of society. Wang Honghai has grown from a lone fighter into a professional team of over a hundred people. It is understood that there are nearly a hundred network technology companies in our city, employing more than five thousand people.

[Editorial Comment]: In this era of information explosion, the internet has given birth to a new profession - network designers. Their emergence and growth make us marvel at the rapid development of the network economy and the constant changes in society. In these changes, each of us is a beneficiary.
