this man is not calm

Chapter 103 Embracing and Relegating

In midsummer, when the college entrance examination is just around the corner, and the attention of the whole country is drawn to this major event, an inconspicuous software is launched.

After internal testing and a small-scale public testing, it was released under the official name of "Jinxi Game Platform", which integrated many popular chess and card game mini-programs, and spread silently on the Internet.

Jinxi Game Platform, which currently focuses on casual games and online battles, has no threshold. Any user who logs in to the integrated portal of Northern United Online can directly download and use it, and compete with chess and card game lovers across the country.

This software, which carries part of Jinshang's ambition, adheres to the strategy of "quietly enter the village, don't shoot", and moistens everything silently and penetrates into every corner of the Internet.

No one thinks that it will have any great prospects, even the competitors who are staring at the portal website only think that this is a small business expansion of Jinxi Culture.

It doesn't have any profit model, and it doesn't see a future.

Playing cards, chess, and mahjong, whether offline or online, are all just for fun.

In essence, this is to move the offline chess and card entertainment room online, and there is no charge.

These days, it's really hard to find a pie in the sky.With the mentality of not spending money and taking advantage, many visitors who log on to the website download the Jinxi game platform immediately, and feel okay after using it.

Although there are no surprises, there is no place that makes users feel particularly inconvenient.

In Jin Shang's eyes, this little software, which is lackluster, seems to have received a good response after it went online.

Today’s netizens still look at many new things on the Internet with the mentality of watching the excitement and early adopters. The requirements for various products and services are actually quite low. As long as they are interesting, usable, and can meet certain needs, everyone is willing. join in.

There were more than 3000 daily active users at the peak, and in the early morning of the dead of night, there were also 200 people playing on the Jinxi game platform, which really made Jin Shang a little overjoyed.

There are many users during the day, which is a bit crowded, and the network is smooth at night, and the disconnection rarely occurs, so there are still senior enthusiasts taking this opportunity to have a good time.

In addition to the Internet fees that have been paid long ago, games without any expenses will even make some netizens not want to use them to their heart's content, which is a weird idea of ​​​​losing money.

Judging from the report submitted by Liu Yanqing, since the Jinxi game platform was launched, the daily active users and length of stay of the portal website have increased to a certain extent.

The competition for market share is like sailing against the current, more here, less elsewhere.

In order to deal with the possible risks, Jin Shang had to spend money to upgrade the server and broadband.Video game battles are different from watching news online. After a few minutes of reading, those who are interested will turn off. If they are really interested, or if they lose their eyes, they will win back after sitting for a day.

If the combination of online and offline is not considered, one of the driving forces behind the development of the Internet industry in the future is electronic games. There are only four types of IT companies with names such as technology, media, and social networking. In the final analysis, there are only four game companies that make quick money. Financial companies with a legal and moral bottom line, e-commerce companies selling goods under various gimmicks, and hot information distribution platforms that provide various recreational and entertainment products.

To put it bluntly, I still can't get rid of the rules and regulations of basic necessities of life, food, drink, and entertainment.The so-called technology and innovation revolve around the above-mentioned services.

"Use asset-light cultural products to gain popularity first, and then use games and entertainment to retain users!"E-commerce and finance...it's still early! 』

While thinking, Jin Shang defeated the challengers on the game platform one by one, leaving behind the legend of ever-victorious, declined the request to invite another battle, turned off the game platform, and picked up the proofreaded "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at hand The sample draft, in the preface, wrote the famous song "Linjiang Immortal".

The opening sentence "Rolling Yangtze River eastward, the waves wiped out the heroes" established the generous and tragic tone of the whole word. It reads soul-stirringly, desolately and solemnly, with endless aftertaste, and creates an indifferent and peaceful atmosphere, noble sentiment and broad-minded spirit. mind.

This poem chanting history, like nostalgia for the past, like a chronicle of things, cuts into the torrent of history, and tells the rise and fall of the past dynasties.The romantic figures through the ages, no matter whether they are successful or not, are all washed out in the long river of history. Only the green mountains and green waters exist forever, and they will be remembered by future generations.

In this version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jin Shang did not directly write, but followed the order of the chapters in the novel, such as Taoyuan's three knots, capture and release Cao, Sanying's battle with Lu Bu, Fengyi Pavilion (serial plan), cooking wine and talking about heroes, Riding alone for thousands of miles, visiting thatched cottages three times, fighting Confucians with tongues, setting the army mountain, flooding the seven armies, burning the company battalion, capturing Menghuo seven times, leaving the teacher's list, leaving Qishan six times, planning an empty city, five Zhangyuan, nine cutting the Central Plains, two warriors fighting for merit, three kingdoms return Jin and other series of history books and folk unofficial histories, some of which are not there, are all artistically processed, and some classic bridges that have been passed down through the ages from previous lives are added into it.

In order to avoid the oolong incident, Jin Shang deliberately checked the relevant history books of this time and space. The folk images and artistic images of the characters in the Three Kingdoms are roughly the same as those in the previous life, but there are many stories. Guan cut six generals, let Xuzhou three times, borrowed arrows from straw boats, counter-measures, etc., and there was not even a shadow.

This also made Jin Shang very cautious about this edition of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He invited ancient Chinese experts from this time and space to write and check it, and at the same time proofread and revised it several times.

Among them, what worries Jin Shang the most is whether the extremely obvious tendency of "respecting Liu and demoting Cao" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the previous life is suitable for this world, and he is still a little uncertain.

From the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period to before the unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, respecting Cao in the north and respecting Liu in the south was the mainstream; from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the trend of thought that respected Cao as the primary and respected Liu as the second prevailed.

Until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the increasing pressure brought by the northern nomads, there was a wave of "respecting Liu and restraining Cao" that was overwhelming.

In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, respecting Liu and demoting Cao, and even respecting Liu and opposing Cao became the consensus among the people. Luo Guanzhong's "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was born under this background.

The side representing "righteousness" is the Shu Han, with Liu Bei being the most prominent; the side representing "evil" is Cao Wei, with Cao Cao being the most prominent.

However, in this world, since the Chanyuan alliance, the history has changed greatly, and the tendency of respecting Liu and demoting Cao is not so obvious. It probably still continues the tradition of respecting Cao first and respecting Liu in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties.

It's okay to highlight Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, but if Cao Cao is too treacherous and evil, whether the people of the country will recognize it is really a question worth worrying about.

The outline and theme were provided by Jin Shang. Even after being polished by contemporary masters, Cao Cao's image is still relatively bad.

This is not a problem with literary talent, but that the main outline of the novel is too detailed and too restrictive, and everyone with brilliant pens can't change the fundamentals.

"Forget it, that's it!It's just a supporting novel for the release of the game. Let time tell whether it can really make a splash! 』

After rereading it many times, Jin Shang felt that it was already very good, not worse than the previous version. As long as the historical novel lovers in this life have not too biased tastes, they should not have ruined his "talented scholar" sign.

After making a decision, Jin Shang immediately asked the employees to try printing a few copies to see the effect of the finished book.

"By the way, have you applied for the ISBN yet?Publishing seriously, getting stuck here can be troublesome. 』

Logically speaking, there is no problem, but since Jin Shang is a famous person, it is not incomprehensible to be cautious.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"It's me, Xiao Jin!"

Zheng Liangzhi's voice came from the opposite side.

"Oh! Uncle Zheng, aren't you going to meet old friends?"

"Yes! I chatted with the Beijing Women's Federation Propaganda Section and the Children's Rights Section. They are very interested in your novel and video game about the history of the Three Kingdoms. If it is really suitable, they can help recommend it."

"Isn't this the work of the cultural department? Why are they so active?"

"Isn't there a spiritual civilization construction recently, to strengthen the education and publicity of cultural traditions! Compared with education, culture, publicity and other fields, the scope of activities of the Beijing Women's Federation is too small, and it is very necessary to produce results! In addition, Jinxi Culture It is a key cultural enterprise and an innovative small and medium-sized enterprise. It meets the support standards. It is not a big problem to find a few parallel units to jointly recommend it. I looked at the things that other departments put forward, and it is really not as good as your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which talks about technological innovation. , even has the advantage of crushing level, not to mention..."

"I'm still a well-known ancient lyricist, and I have gimmicks to promote."

"That's the reason. In public, you can't speak so bluntly."

"I understand, each takes what he needs, and each other achieves!"

"By the way, I'm afraid you don't know that the Jingcheng Technology Co., Ltd. that directly competes with you, do you remember? The large-scale themed promotional activity of "100 Years of Gyeonggi" they launched was jointly created by the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Science and Technology column."

"Eh? It's the online community that burns money without blinking an eye, does a lot of things, and has no one to support it, and entertains itself? Let me just say, it's not so bad to have money. With that money, it's okay to do something practical." Okay?"

"Don't worry about it so much. Everyone knows how to keep up with the baton. Don't fall behind. If you don't have something, why don't you use it?"

Zheng Liangzhi advised,
"If someone helps you talk, things will go much smoother! Let's just say that your application for the book number has been over a month. Have you got it yet?"

"I don't know yet!"

"That means it hasn't been approved yet! If it's really recommended by the Beijing Women's Federation, local cultural propaganda and education units, how can it take so long?"

"Then...can you join the series of extracurricular readings for primary and secondary schools?"

"It's just about the quality of the book! By the way, if Mr. Qu Nanrong in the last show can say a few words, it will be fine. Have you been in touch these two days?"

"No, the old man said he would let me know if there is a tea party."

Jin Shang's heart trembled, and he realized that the identity of that person might be really unusual.

"Then let's not mention it for now, if he tells you, go as much as you can!"

"learn!"

"Then... have you finished writing?"

"The draft has just been finalized, and I am going to print a few samples..."

"Print a few more copies! It will definitely not be enough by then, don't be afraid of making too many, if it really becomes popular, it will be auctioned as a rare copy autograph. You are familiar with this, so I don't need to teach you."

How much does it cost to print a few samples?If it is not afraid of no place to put it, a printing factory can last for a long time by working overtime day and night.

"By the way, Nan Dabiao will be back tomorrow. When is your appointment to visit the Meiying Studio, so I can inform him!"

"Then the day after tomorrow! It can be any day. There is almost no work in Meiying Studio now, and people are in a panic. I hope someone will visit and see something so that I can sell it for a good price. I am too poor to pay wages. Hurry up!"

"Okay, that's it!"

After hanging up the phone, Jin Shang was excited by the sudden good news, and his work efficiency was much higher. After finishing the backlog of things ahead of time, he was about to leave work and go home early, but it was rare for Li Xuan to take the initiative to talk to the boss about work.

"Boss Jin..."

"Stop barking if you're not used to it. Close the door so you can't hear it from outside. Talk about something..."

"It's really hard to tell when the door is closed."

Li Xuan sat across from her angrily, handed over a few reports and said,
"This is the statistical result. At present, there are very limited people who are willing to book tickets online and call for consultation. Therefore, I think [-] tickets are too many, and it may not be sold out online."

There are many people who move their fingers to express their support, but few specific questions about the operation steps. Those who actually recharge and buy tickets will definitely have to give a discount.

According to the existing data, not to mention [-] tickets, [-] tickets will not be sold out.

"Do you think [-] tickets, three consecutive days, is too much?"

"Hmm! I'm not saying that Dai Yiqin is not famous enough, but there are still too few people who are really willing to pay tens or even hundreds of dollars to watch a concert."

"Your worries are not unreasonable, but..."

It's normal for my girlfriend to worry about problems with the company's first public event.

But she still underestimated where the real focus of this incident was.

"Remember what we said in the announcement that in principle, one machine can only buy two tickets? What is meant by 'in principle', as long as there are legitimate reasons, you can buy as many tickets as you want. These days, although the economy is developing Unbalanced, but the overall situation is improving. Many people have a little spare money, but their spiritual and cultural life has not kept up, and there are too few entertainment activities. Tickets for Dai Yiqin's concert will definitely be snapped up..."

"Then you are..."

"The main purpose is to create a sense of superiority that will not be slaughtered by scalpers when booking tickets online. It is convenient, fast, and not crowded! It takes a long time to develop a habit of using the Internet to solve problems encountered in life. start."

After a pause, Jin Shang continued to explain,
"Do you know how many people have asked me about buying group tickets through various channels during this period of time? There is a rich and powerful boss who directly booked a hundred infield tickets..."
