Chapter 115 The Snail Game
In September, when Shen Lang arrived at the company that day, Li Wenwen said to him, "A man named Shi Hai called to make an appointment and wanted to meet with you."

"Shi Hai?" Shen Lang frowned slightly, he didn't seem to know anyone with the surname Shi.

Li Wenwen added: "Oh, he said he is the owner of a game company, and that company seems to be called Snail, which is quite a strange name."

Shen Lang suddenly realized that it was him.

"Well, you can make an appointment with him, the last two days are fine."

Snail's boss must have asked him to meet for the sake of the game. Shen Lang remembered that Snail seemed to be making an online game called Voyage Century, probably because they wanted NetDragon to sell their point cards on behalf of them.

In fact, Nautical Century is definitely a well-made game. The domestic online games of the same period are basically 2D or 2.5D, but Nautical Century is 3D, and the effect is not inferior to the Korean online games of the same period.

Even though Voyage Century encountered World of Warcraft in the domestic market, the popularity was not too high. Snail still opened up overseas markets with this game, and even sold it back to South Korea. small achievements.

Of course, what really makes Shen Lang envious is that Snail not only has the ability to develop games, but also has the ability to develop game engines. The 3D engine of Nautical Century was independently developed by Snail. Later, based on this Flexi engine, a phenomenon Level online game [Nine Yin Scriptures].

Just thinking about it made Shen Lang salivate.

Li Wenwen looked at Shen Lang with some doubts, is this snail company very powerful?Or is this guy named Shi Hai very powerful?How could he make such an expression?
"Don't be dumbfounded, hurry up and confirm with the other party." Shen Lang licked his lips and urged.

"Oh."

Here Li Wenwen dialed Shi Hai's phone out of nowhere, and Shi Hai on the other end of the phone immediately said that he could arrive in Shanghai early tomorrow morning.

Shen Lang could hear clearly from the side, but he didn't talk to Shi Hai directly. Now it's someone begging him, not him, and keeping a sense of mystery so that the other party can't figure out his thoughts can take the lead when negotiating.

Humming a little tune, Shen Lang walked into the company, Wang Xiaochuan trotted over with his laptop in his hand, and said excitedly.

"Mr. Shen, our search engine has been completed. You can see that this is the latest beta version."

Shen Lang was also overjoyed when he heard the words. After nine months, the search engine was finally developed, and he hurriedly greeted Wang Xiaochuan.

"Come on, come to my office and talk."

When Wang Xiaochuan came to Shen Lang's office, he immediately put the laptop on the desk, then unplugged the network cable from the desktop, plugged it into the laptop, and then clicked on the 360 ​​browser icon.

Shen Lang took a look, and sure enough, the original Baidu search has become a 360 search.

"How is it? Compared with Baidu in terms of search keyword accuracy?" Shen Lang asked.

Wang Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed: "Compared with Baidu, there is still a gap, but our search engine is no worse than Google in terms of Chinese search accuracy."

No wonder Wang Xiaochuan was embarrassed. In fact, before Google officially entered the mainland in 2006, Google’s Chinese search accuracy was not very good. Later, after Kai-fu Lee joined Google and became the president of China District, Google’s Chinese search gradually became more useful.

Shen Lang didn't grasp this point, after all, the development time of search engines is so short, it's normal for them to be inferior to Baidu. From the very beginning, Shen Lang's goal for Wang Xiaochuan was that as long as he wasn't too far behind Baidu, he could accept .

Entering the word "news" casually, Shen Lang first used 360 to search, then switched to Baidu search, and then narrowed down the two web pages and put them together.

In contrast, Shen Lang couldn't help frowning, pointed at the display screen and said to Wang Xiaochuan.

"You see, the news keyword information searched by Baidu is obviously more updated than ours. Although it is only ten minutes, what users need is the latest consultation, and the value of outdated news is much worse."

Wang Xiaochuan's face was also a little ugly, and he explained: "In fact, we have noticed this problem, but I don't know what method Baidu used, and the speed of grabbing information is faster than ours. Give me another three months, no, two In a month's time, I will definitely be able to solve this problem."

When Shen Lang heard the words, he shook his head and said to Wang Xiaochuan: "I believe you can solve the technical problem, but what if Baidu's crawling speed improves again after two months? Don't we just keep delaying the release? Doesn't this destroy the market? Are they all sent to competitors?"

Wang Xiaochuan looked at Shen Lang unwillingly.

Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder: "I know you want to give users a perfect work, but I hope you can understand that the Internet will never have a perfect product, and we can only meet the needs of users through continuous updates. One day you feel that your product is perfect, and you are not far from being eliminated from the market.”

"Mr. Shen, I know what to do." Wang Xiaochuan had a flash of determination in his eyes.

Shen Lang nodded: "Go ahead, the product is generally good, give more encouragement to the team members, and after you pass the internal test, it will be released officially, and I will ask He Xiaopeng to cooperate with you."

Wang Xiaochuan didn't speak, he opened the office door with his notebook in his arms, and when he turned to close the door, Shen Lang saw that he changed into a passionate smile.

Shen Lang nodded in satisfaction. In fact, in his opinion, Wang Xiaochuan's technology is not much worse than Li Yanhong's. Back then, when Zhang Chaoyang was not optimistic about the Sogou search engine, Wang Xiaochuan completed the entire project by himself, and later helped Sohu make a Sogou browser, Sogou pinyin input method, it can only be said that Sohu is not a good platform, Wang Xiaochuan followed the wrong boss.

Now that Wang Xiaochuan is under his own hands, Shen Lang has enough patience and time to train him. I believe that it won't take too long for Wang Xiaochuan to come up with satisfactory works.

Not long after Wang Xiaochuan went out, Shen Lang suddenly received a call from Lei Jun. He couldn't help laughing to himself, as it was approaching the public beta of Swordsman Love Online, this guy seemed to have lost his mind.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, are you in the company now?"

Shen Lang was a little puzzled: "Where are you? You won't tell me that you are in Shanghai right now?"

"The answer is correct, but there is no reward. I will come to your company soon. It is good that you are here. I am afraid that the trip will be in vain." Lei Jun said.

At the elevator entrance, after the elevator opened, Lei Jun was very happy to see Shen Lang welcome here.

"Mr. Shen, how do you know I got into the elevator?"

Shen Lang took out his mobile phone and pointed to the elevator.

Lei Jun slapped his forehead: "Hey, what I said, the signal was cut off just now."

"Mr. Shen, today I come from a long way, do you have to show me around your company?"

Shen Lang looked at the smiling Lei Jun, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little weird.

"I believe that Ray will always be worth the trip."
