Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 255: This Road Couldn’t Be More Desperate (Revised Version)
"Isn't Shengda Company too shameless?"

"That's right, why can't we earn gold coins and sell them for money?"

"No more playing, no more playing!"

The next morning, as soon as the condemnation poster of Tianqin Internet Cafe came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Jingzhou City.

Many people only then realized that all the gold coins collected by Tianqin Internet Cafe every day were frozen by Shengda Company.

But even so, Tianqin Internet Cafe still insists on collecting gold coins every day, just to allow customers with limited funds to access the Internet for free.

This spirit of selfless dedication immediately infected many players.

They rushed to the phone booth and sent Shengda their most sincere greetings.

After sending their greetings, they set up stalls in the Shengda Legend game to protest, and spammed the world channel with insults, making the various regions and servers very lively.

At the same time, Tianqin Internet Cafe officially announced that it would start buying back Westward Journey Online's Dahua coins at high prices. Many players who were emotionally aroused turned to Westward Journey Online. In Tianqin Internet Cafe, only a small number of players were still playing Legend.

Seeing the player's perfect transformation, a relieved smile finally appeared on Chen Zhi's face.

From this point of view, Wu Lianju's plan was successful!

Now they have passed the most dangerous period. As long as they maintain stable development and gradually turn losses into profits, Momo Internet Cafe will be over.

After seven days of continuous observation, Chen Zhi finally felt relieved.

They are likely to win this battle.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Zhi stood up and massaged the corners of his eyes, which were a little sore, and planned to have a good sleep. Since the Wang Que incident, Chen Zhi had not had a good sleep.

Fortunately, Wang Que did not make a big deal out of the incident considering the impact it would have, and the young men who smashed and destroyed the Internet cafe and Cai Kun who beat Wang Que with a stick were all arrested. What awaits them is at least three to five years of free imprisonment.

"Have a good sleep and talk to Cheng Yi about the shareholding tomorrow." Chen Zhi came to the lounge with his bag, drank a glass of warm water first, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

Just as he was about to lie down, his cell phone rang rapidly.

It was my father Chen Hongwen calling.

Chen Zhi answered the phone and said with a smile, "Dad, my problems are basically solved."

"You solved a shit!" Chen Hongwen shouted angrily, "Open the Sohu News section and see! This is the result of your solution!"

"Souhu?" Confused, Chen Zhi took out the laptop from his bag and quickly logged into Souhu.com.

A red hot word appeared in the news section of the homepage of Sohu.com.

Chen Zhi clicked on it and saw a title titled "If the enemy wants to fight, I will fight! A declaration of war to Tianqin Internet Cafe!"

Chen Zhi read the letter of challenge carefully, and all the sleepiness in his body disappeared immediately.

In this declaration of war, their Tianqin Internet Cafe was completely portrayed as the villain who bullied honest people, especially the sentence "These days, honest people can't survive, they have to force you to fight them to the death", which served as the finishing touch.

The entire letter of challenge is written in the voice of Du Yusheng, chairman of Momo Group, vividly depicting his mental journey.

From the fear when he first encountered Tianqin Internet Cafe, to the helplessness and confusion when he was forced by Tianqin Internet Cafe, and then to the anger afterwards.

Finally, there is the final explosion.

This letter of challenge is so inspiring. It describes the story of a black internet cafe owner living in a remote corner who was forced by his rivals to become a giant in the internet cafe industry in Handong Province.

"They are going to open an Internet cafe in our base camp in Handong Province for free?" After reading this letter of challenge, Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Hongwen said, "I've long advised you to leave Jingzhou City, but you insisted on doing so. What's the outcome now? Are all the internet cafes in Handong Province going to have to offer free services to Momo Internet Cafe?"

Chen Zhi said, "Dad, don't worry. I think this is just a smokescreen from Momo Internet Cafe. They don't even offer free internet cafes in Jingzhou City, so how could they possibly offer free internet cafes in Yantai City? And they're even publishing this news on Sohu.com. It's clearly a show for us."

"So what if it's just a show? We have only established 50 large Internet cafes in Yantai City, Lianyun City and Huaiyang City. The rest of the Internet cafes have joined us unconditionally. What do you think they will think when they see this news? Are they still willing to pay us a 20% service fee?" Chen Hongwen questioned.

Chen Zhi was silent.

"They joined us simply because our strength could intimidate them and bring them some extra income. But what about now? You went to Jingzhou City and provoked such a powerful opponent, and this opponent even ran to their internet cafe and started a free operation model. Do you think they will still be willing to join us?" Chen Hongwen gritted his teeth and said, "Now that things have come to this, tell me, how should this end?"

Chen Zhi thought for a moment and slowly said, "I've invested in an online game, and it's been very well received in Jingzhou City. I've already sent people to Yantai City to promote it. By the time Momo Internet Cafes open in those three cities, Westward Journey Online will have become a mainstream game there. By then, no matter how hard Momo Internet Cafes try, it won't be able to make a splash, because their computers won't be able to install this game."

Chen Hongwen frowned and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this game?"

"Sure, this game was developed by NetEase. You should have heard of NetEase's strength. It is one of the largest Internet companies in China." Chen Zhi said.

Chen Hongwen said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you..."

Before Chen Hongwen finished speaking, Wu Lianju's voice came from the corridor outside: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, something bad has happened."

"What's wrong?!" Chen Zhi was shocked.

So many things have happened during this period of time that he has become a little nervous.

Wu Lianju said in a trembling voice, "There's a bug in Westward Journey Online."

"Isn't it normal to have bugs?" Chen Zhi was stunned.

Wu Lianju said: "No, it's not just one bug, it's a lot of bugs. Some people are farming and throwing equipment in the game, while others are farming attacks and levels..."

"What's going on with this online art?" Chen Zhi stood up angrily.

Wu Lianju swallowed his saliva and said, "Net Art said that a game company was deliberately messing with them, and they are now dealing with these bugs one by one."

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Zhi hung up Chen Hongwen's phone and rushed out of the lounge.

"Oh my god, this setting also has loopholes."

"I found one too. Their way of issuing packages is so primitive and crude."

"How dare they launch a public beta with such quality? Do they really think they are the only ones who can make games?" Inside Momo Game Company, Kong Feng was leading a group of younger brothers to conduct a carpet search for various loopholes in Westward Journey Online.

Kong Feng, who comes from the operating system field, is very aware of the subtle connection between system vulnerabilities and games.

Cheng Yi lay on the chair, crossed his legs, drank tea and listened to the battle report.

The production schedule for Westward Journey Online was too tight, and the game developers had little experience, so it can be simply summarized with a name: BUG Westward Journey Online.

The entire game is made up of bugs.

This isn't about finding bugs in the game anymore, it's about finding the game in the bugs. In the previous life, Westward Journey Online went from public beta to shutdown in less than five months, and the number of bugs that appeared in those five months rivaled the total number of bugs in all games nationwide.

Cheng Yi has done NetEase a big favor this time, at least saving them 5 months of trial and error.

In just one night, they found more than 20 bugs, and they put each bug into practice in the game.

The best products are everywhere and the levels can be adjusted at will.

The Dahua coins were thrown all over the floor as if they were free.

Even though you have gone to this extent, their test accounts have not been blocked.

I don’t know if NetEase Games has completely given up, or if they just want to see how many bugs their game still has.

Although the mentality of NetEase Games is very stable, the players who have been fighting monsters day and night in Internet cafes during this period can no longer hold back.

What they considered to be top-quality goods all became cheap goods that could be picked up anywhere. The Dahua coins they had accumulated for a long time became garbage that no one picked up before they could even exchange them for money.

How can we play this?

Now that I think about it, the previous Momo Legend was the best. Although I didn’t make much money, it was stable.

They were so blinded by greed that they wasted so much time.

This is the price of not trusting Brother Shan Ji!

"Boss Cheng, I think that's enough, right? These bugs alone are enough to force this game to go back to the drawing board." Kong Feng said with a look of reluctance, "Did we go a little too far this time?"

"Then stop it." Cheng Yi stood up, grabbed a hawthorn and threw it into his mouth, saying with a sour taste in his mouth, "How can you say that's excessive? If our game had been found with all the bugs when it was first launched, wouldn't we be thanking him for eight generations?"

"That's true." Kong Feng nodded with a smile and said, "We also did a comprehensive test for them."

Cheng Yi said: "This can be regarded as a wake-up call for us. Our domestic online game development has always been groping forward. When developing games, we must not rush and must strive for excellence."

"clear."

At this time, Chen Zhi also ran to the first floor of the main store. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw many players surrounding the network administrator at the front desk.

"Mr. Chen." Seeing Chen Zhi running down, the network administrator immediately looked at him for help.

Chen Zhi shouted loudly: "Everyone, your losses..."

Chen Zhixiang had just said he would buy it back at the price when Wu Lianju, standing beside him, quickly took over and shouted, "We'll definitely give you a refund once we've checked!"

"What's the point of giving us supplies? There are so many Big Talk Coins and top-grade equipment everywhere now. We've been playing for nothing these days."

"If we play Momo Legend during this period, we can at least make a hundred yuan."

"Exactly, you guys are really doing people a disservice by promoting this crappy game!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to overturn the front desk.

Seven days of hard work were all in vain.

Wu Lianju said loudly, "Everyone, please be patient. The game company is investigating the cause. Once these bugs are resolved, they will definitely compensate you for your losses."

"Okay, then we'll come back tomorrow. If you don't compensate us for our losses, this matter will not be over!"

Wu Lianju used a lot of deception and coaxing to finally get these people to leave Tianqin Internet Cafe cursing.

"Call Wangyi immediately and ask them what's going on." Chen Zhi said in a deep voice.

Wu Lianju responded and immediately made a phone call.

After chatting for a few minutes, Wu Lianju hung up the phone with a grim expression.

"How is it? What's the situation over there?" Chen Zhi asked.

Wu Lianju said in a trembling voice, "They said there's a serious problem with the core architecture of this game and it needs to be rebuilt."

"Re-train?" Chen Zhi asked angrily, "Are they planning to shut down the server and run away?"

Wu Lianju nodded and sighed, "Yes."

Chen Zhi's body swayed slightly and he almost fell to the ground.

Wu Lianju quickly supported Chen Zhi and said, "Mr. Chen, they said they are willing to return the investment."

"What's the use of going back..." Chen Zhi staggered a few steps and finally sat down on the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. At this moment, Chen Zhi felt a chill on his back.

Now all his support is gone, and Momo Internet Cafe has spread to Yantai City, Lianyun City and Huaiyang City.

It is said that there is always a way out, but his path is so desperate that it cannot be more desperate.

"Now we need to think about what to do next." Chen Zhi said in a trembling voice, "Ask Wangyi if they can delay the shutdown for a few days? Give us some time to recover."

Wu Lianju said in a trembling voice, "Oh, I'm afraid it's difficult. Their game suddenly had such a big bug that it's already been ridiculed by the industry. They're almost ready to shut down the server tonight."

"Five days! Ask them to give me five days!" Chen Zhi said, "I'll cover the server and personnel costs for five days."

Wu Lianju stood there silently, sighing, "Boss Chen, even if you give us five days, what will happen? At this point, anything else will be in vain."

In vain...

Chen Zhi fell onto the sofa and murmured, "Yeah, it's all in vain."

He said weakly, "I never thought I would end up like this."

Wu Lianju said, "Mr. Chen, you did nothing wrong in this matter. It's the people at the group who are short-sighted. Sooner or later, they will pay the price for their carelessness today."

"There's no point in saying all this anymore," Chen Zhi said. "This Momo Group is incredible, incredible... It completely surpasses my previous understanding of them."

"Mr. Chen, I think you can't consider the situation in Jingzhou City anymore. You need to figure out how to get out of this situation quickly. You've already angered the board of directors. If they use this to make a fuss, your situation will be very difficult. We, the old followers of yours, are all in various cities in Handong Province. If you lose control of Handong Province, it means you'll lose the opportunity to join the board of directors..."

Wu Lianju didn't dare to continue talking, as if he continued, it would involve the inheritance rights of Tianqin Group.

"There's no turning back for me," Chen Zhi said. "But if Westward Journey Online announces its server closure tomorrow..."
