The Ten Years of Rebirth

From the first day of the Spring Festival to the seventh day of the lunar new year, the family was very busy.

Originally, there were quite a few relatives in Xu Xing's family, and it was normal for them to visit each other during Chinese New Year.

This year, Xu Xing exposed the identity of the founder of Qunxing Group again, and immediately contacted distant relatives who he didn't have much contact with on weekdays.

If it's at the house of the second and third grandpas, or at the house of the grandparents, according to the usual practice, Xu Xing would go to dinner with his parents.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, I also set up a few tables in the restaurant, and everyone gathered together during the Spring Festival.

But for some relatives whom he couldn't even name and address, he rejected them all, and asked his parents to tell the public that the company was very busy and they didn't have time to come out for dinner.

In fact, it is the same.

After the seventh day of the lunar new year, employees returned one after another, and the company began to enter the normal operation order in 2014.

On February 2, WeChat officially announced relevant data about the Spring Festival.

Including the number and scale of red envelope interactions during the Spring Festival Gala, the amount involved and the participation and support of the brand side.

And the WeChat user data that the public is most concerned about——

As of February 2, the number of WeChat users has increased from 7 million to 2000 million.

The total has doubled, and the number of users is close to QQ, the number one social software in China that has been in operation for more than ten years.

And the number of cards tied to WeChat Pay has expanded from the original approximately 800 million to a full 5000 million.

It can be said that the fish jumped over the dragon's gate, soared into the sky, and became a blockbuster.

Originally, the outside world has been speculating on how much the data increase brought by WeChat’s Spring Festival Gala red envelopes has been. It has been more than a week since the Spring Festival, and the discussion on related issues has remained high.

But compared to some normal or even radical guesses, the data provided by Weixin is obviously more explosive. It suddenly detonated an already hot topic, swept the entire Internet in a short moment, and once spread to reality. .

Boss Xu, an entrepreneur who is only [-] years old, is also on the hot search again.

[It’s really against the sky, I have achieved QQ’s ten-year achievements in less than two years, I feel that the dynasty is really going to change now]

[The stars are coming fiercely, I wonder if the three veteran BAT companies can stop this wave of offensive]

[The more intense the fight, the better, anyway, it's better than a single family alone]

[When I think that Mr. Xu is still a sophomore, I feel that this world is really magical]

【Mr. Xu is already the youngest rich man in the world, right?I feel that Laomei’s side is not so against the sky]

[The key question is whether it is good to start from scratch. Although Mr. Xu’s family background is not bad, and he is still in a wealthy place like Shanghai Stock Exchange, compared to other people who have accumulated initial capital through family connections, this is really a miracle.]

[Who said Mr. Xu didn't rely on his family?Didn't his mother give back 5 yuan? (funny)】

[The 5 yuan was earned by Mr. Xu by motivating his mother to go to Taobao. I laughed so hard. I don’t know what mood Boss Ma is in now]

【Lao Ma: It turned out that I provided start-up funds for competitors?I kill myself? 】

[Brother Xiaoma probably has a headache now, his housekeeping skills have been caught up head-on, and the mobile game market has begun to rise, which feels more dangerous than Ali's situation]

[One and two are both Big Macs, how can one fall so easily?At most, it’s just that there are more stars in the market competition to grab the cake]

[Not to mention anything else, I don't know who will catch Mr. Xu, this rich son-in-law]

[I heard that I had a girlfriend when I was a freshman, I don’t know if it’s true or not]

[Naihe is not a woman, otherwise it would be fine to warm Mr. Xu's bed]

[Brothers pursue their dreams, what's wrong with the man?What if Mr. Xu is good at it? 】

[Thinking that Mr. Xu is 20 years old, if he leads the stars to work until he is 70 or [-] years old, and the old horses and the others die, wouldn't he directly become the leader of the domestic Internet? 】

[Where did it take so long?If we can maintain our competitiveness and this kind of unconstrained publicity, I think it will be fine in 20 years]

Xu Xing didn't care much about the ups and downs on the Internet.

Long before his identity was revealed, he was mentally prepared. Even after his identity was revealed, he only accepted three interviews that could not be avoided.

Since then, he has been acting in a low-key manner in reality, and has never expressed his personal opinion on public platforms on the Internet.

Although some authentication accounts on the platform were established according to the needs of the propaganda department, there was no extra content except for uploading the videos of the previous three interviews.

At most, it is to post to Moments on WeChat.

Weixin belongs to its own one-acre three-point land, which is much safer and relatively more private.

"The project of "The Return of the Myth" has already started. It is currently working on a preliminary map and ten initial character designs. It is estimated that the basic framework will be built in about three months, and the map interaction and character skills will be tested."

Gong Ao reported the situation of Tianshu Game in the office after the year.

"The progress of "Special Exercises" is the same as what was said years ago. It seems that the map will be fully formed before this summer vacation, and the debugging of gun-feeling ballistics and recoil will also be initially completed."

"Our plan is to open the internal beta recruitment in May. After all, the map of "Special Exercise" is very large, and it is a terminal game. There are many interactive bugs. Without a large-scale internal beta test, it is difficult to find all of them."

"And we don't have much practical experience in this area, so it is expected that there will be about three rounds of internal testing, and the official launch will be at least next year."

Xu Xing can provide planning solutions for gameplay and details, but the specific structure and debugging can only be left to professionals.

After all, he was not a programmer who specialized in developing games in his previous life, and it was almost enough to be able to independently develop Fruit Assassin.

For a large-scale client game such as "Special Exercise", or a MOBA mobile game such as "The Return of the Myth", it is definitely not enough to simply have a complete planning plan.

This is a relatively big test for the technical and execution capabilities of the company's team.

However, for Gong Ao's team, the biggest convenience is that they have Mr. Xu.

Although the planning plan provided by Xu Xing cannot make the game easily complete.

However, compared with other game companies, from project approval to preliminary attempts, exploration, trial and error, a lot of time and labor costs are consumed.

The operation mode of the Tianshu game can be said to be quite simple, almost a linear advancement method.

With Xu Xing's planning plan leading the way, they basically didn't need to go through some dead ends that they might otherwise go.

For example, the setting of "Special Exercise" is that the player chooses when to land from a plane with a random route, and where to fly to the map to collect supplies.

In previous battle royale games, the birthplace of players was often random.

Such a change allows players to maximize their subjective initiative in "Special Exercises", and also limits them to a certain extent in the "shrinking circle" mode.

The various action strategies derived from this have well mobilized the players' enthusiasm for the game.

If Xu Xing's planning plan did not include these detailed settings, but simply said "to make a battle royale gunfight game", then the game team is doomed to spend a lot of time on how to optimize the game settings above.

And these saved manpower and time are the huge development costs that the original game company had to bear.

So this is why most games like to "reference", because innovation means higher costs and risks.

Often only small studios with passion regardless of the consequences and large game companies with sufficient trial and error costs are able to make some brilliant innovations.

"The development of "The Return of the Myth" has the UI design and map design sketches provided by Mr. Xu, coupled with the mature mechanism of the MOBA game on the end game, the difficulty of production is not too great."

Gong Ao continued.

"The real difficulty lies in how to adapt to the current mobile phone performance."

"So in the development process, in addition to doing a good job in the game itself, it is also necessary to design corresponding performance reduction for mobile phones."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to have any gaming experience when playing one card after another."

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, "All kinds of mobile phones are reserved for testing, including the micron mobile phone that we are currently developing."

"By the way, contact the team over there to see if there are some targeted designs."

"There is no need to worry about these two games, and they will be considered qualified if they can enter the closed beta stage before next year."

After watching Gong Ao leave the office, Xu Xing stretched on the chair.

After replying to the remaining emails in the mailbox and dealing with the affairs at hand, he got up and walked out of the office, preparing to stroll around various departments.

Station B has now entered a relatively good period of continuous development and expansion.

Especially with the blessing of "Million King Arthur", the revenue from this mobile game accounts for almost [-]% of the overall revenue of Station B.

The remaining [-]% is occupied by several other imported Two-dimensional games, and only a small amount of revenue comes from other businesses.

This ratio is quite deformed, but it is better than no money.

After all, the cost of website maintenance and operation, as well as the money for purchasing the copyright of fan dramas, can basically consume the income of the game.

Even if the revenue data looks good, the actual overall profit is still negative.

However, compared to the B station in the previous life, the current B station is directly backed by the stars, the account is connected to WeChat, and the "Million King Arthur" that should have belonged to Shanda has been injected into it.

Coupled with the round of financing just completed last year, Bilibili is booming today. Although it still looks like a minority, it is already a force that cannot be ignored.

However, in comparison, Two-dimensional is not particularly popular in the current environment.

On the contrary, Douyu live broadcast, which was separated from the live broadcast of station B, has gained a considerable amount of attention in just over half a year.

In particular, the concept of live streaming on mobile phones has completely announced the advent of a new era.

After completing a new round of financing at the end of last year, with the backing of Weixin’s traffic pool, the number of registered users has rapidly expanded, and now it has reached more than 4000 million, rivaling YY live broadcast.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Xu Xing drove back to the rented house, and smelled the aroma of dinner as soon as he entered the house.

Turning his head, he saw two figures in the kitchen.

"Vinegar?"

Seeing the familiar figure from behind, Xu Xing immediately raised his eyebrows.

Since staying at Xu Xing's house for a few days during the Spring Festival, and taking Xu Xing to Yan Hongzhi's house for dinner, Yan Chijiu moved back from Yao Yuanyuan's house during the daytime today.

It's already like this, and there is no point in twisting it any further.

Yan Chijiu just came back with her luggage in the afternoon, before she had time to tidy up, she was dragged to the fresh food supermarket by Xu Niannian, saying that it was for celebration and she had to make a good meal.

So as soon as Xu Xing entered the room, he saw a surprise scene.

"Go wash your hands."

Yan Chijiu came out of the kitchen with the dishes and put them on the dining table, "It's time to eat."

"Come here directly to wash." Xu Niannian shouted from the kitchen, "By the way, take this bowl of soup out."

"Here we come." Xu Xing took off his coat, walked into the kitchen, washed his hands, picked up the soup bowl and walked to the dining table outside.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, all of which are special dishes of the two girls.

But when he saw the fried pork liver, Xu Xing still twitched the corners of his mouth.

"School only starts in March. Is there anything to do recently?"

Xu Xing opened the seats for the two of them, and then sat on the opposite side. He tasted the pork liver first, and then asked Yan Chi vinegar.

Yanchi vinegar sat down opposite, scooped a bowl of soup for himself first, sipped it, feeling the warmth of his stomach, and replied: "Preview some courses for the next semester, so that I can complete my credits early. During the summer vacation, I will I have to prepare for the remaining courses of the junior year and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time."

"That was quite hard work." Xu Xing said, and looked at Xu Niannian again, "How about you, the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"The results will be released in the second half of the year, and the national competition will be released in March." Xu Niannian said simply, "Then it will be the retest."

"The credits in school have been completed long ago, and now I am preparing for the re-examination."

"Nothing else."

The three of them were chatting, and after a happy meal, Xu Xing was sent to wash the dishes.

After washing and coming out, Xu Niannian had already gone into the bathroom to take a shower.

Yan Chijiu dragged his suitcase into the bedroom to organize his luggage.

Xu Xing wiped his hands, strolled to the door of Yan Chijiu's bedroom, and said, "I used this as a study before, and there are still a lot of things in it, let me move it out."

"Are the notebooks and documents on the table?" Yan Chijiu glanced at them, "Leave it alone, it's not convenient to always look at the computer on the coffee table when you come back."

"If you don't mind." Xu Xing shrugged, walked into the bedroom, and helped to organize the luggage, "How did you think of moving back?"

"Don't you welcome me?" Yan Chijiu glanced at him.

"How could it be?" Xu Xing raised his hand in surrender, "I just didn't expect it."

"It's only temporary." Yan Chi pursed his lips, "I'll go back to the school dormitory after school starts, and I'll come here on weekends at most."

"It's fine, it's fine." Xu Xing said with a smile, "Then see you in the library then? I still have to rely on you to review."

"Big boss, is it okay to say that?" Yan Chi looked at him sideways. This guy obviously had a private question provided by the teacher.

"I just enjoy the intellectual atmosphere in the library."

"Ha ha."
