Start earning money as the girl next door

When there is no one in the office, I probably secretly catch up on some sleep there.

I have always suspected that he was deceived by some weird theory. "Liu Xing (a second-rate coder and a third-rate writer) began to complain in the group.

Zhao Han couldn't help but smile when he saw this. This guy was probably an employee of Sohu.

The Internet is just like Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu. At this stage, employees are encouraged to work hard, sleep less and work more, and four hours of sleep is enough.

Sohu is still one of the top Internet companies in China, but after more than ten years of hard work, it has achieved nothing except reaping the dividends from its early years and making money to buy a building.

Later, Sohu boss Zhang Chaoyang also made a mistake and no longer advocated four hours a day, but instead said that it would be better to sleep more.

If you struggle less, there is no point in struggling.

This is a painful realization.

Zhang Chaoyang himself took the lead in sleeping for four hours and scrolled desperately with Sohu.As a result, many times, although you are clearly on the right track, you just cannot win against other opponents on the same track.

Sohu has been listed for more than 20 years. Later, the company's total market value was not even as valuable as the three office buildings Sohu bought in Beijing.

Zhang Chaoyang must have made a mistake at that time. Lying down in the right direction is far more important than working hard in the wrong direction.

At the same time, a group of people with poor sleep quality really cannot beat their counterparts who have more sleep time.

Chapter 293 Wants to intercept Hu Sohu’s opportunity again

Zhao Han quietly chatted privately in the QQ group with the author Liu Xing who had spoken before: "Do you work for Sohu?"

"You are?" Meteor looked confused.

Zhao Han was embarrassed. In order to avoid being discovered by the pastry, Zhao Han used another work QQ in the author group of Jingjing Reading Network, which was different from the author QQ.

The nickname in the author group of Jingjing Reading Network is Gou Weishangce, a silent group administrator.

Because of Zhao Han’s QQ account, he basically doesn’t contact the authors in the group, and no one knows him.

"Not an editor. It belongs to Wenwen Jingjing Company. Jingjing Pinyin and Jingjing Reading Network are both products of our company. I am the management of the parent company." Zhao Han replied on QQ.

"Oh! I know that your company's Pinyin input method is very good. A colleague named Wang Xiaochuan in our company said that he also wanted to make a Pinyin input method, but unfortunately, you made it ahead of time." Meteor kept it confidential. There was no consciousness, it was revealed directly.

"Oh?" Zhao Han said, "What does your Sohu company do? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

"I, Sohu Changyou develop games!" Meteor said. "Sohu saw that NetEase was making a lot of money from making games, so it introduced a game called "Knights Online" from Bangzi. Unfortunately, the success was tepid. Then, it planned to introduce it into the country. An online game from a small company that has already been launched but is not operating well."

"Which one is imported from China?" Zhao Han was stunned.

""Sword and Sword OL" developed by Pixel Software! It seems that due to lack of traffic and no channels for recharging point cards, it intends to transfer the game operating rights." Meteor said, "If you ask me, Sohu is not made to make online games at all. It Just know that online games are popular and you want to make money! In fact, the number of people in the entire Sohu company who know games is no more than one palm! They don’t play games at all, so naturally they don’t know how to operate or develop games!”

Zhao Han couldn't help but be amused. Sohu's crotch extension in the early days of online games was something that many people couldn't imagine.

From the beginning, I didn’t think about self-research, but first introduced a game called “Knight Online” which ran from 2003 to 2007 when it was discontinued. Since it was a game that could be played or not, it was normal for it to fail.

The first kimchi game introduced had a bad start.You’d think Sohu would start doing research on its own, but no!

Sohu probably acted as an agent for an online game "Swordsman Online" developed by domestic Pixel Software in 06.

The reputation of "Sword Online" is obviously better than that of the previous "Knight Online".

The main reason is that Pixel Software Company lacks point card recharge channels. After two years of operation, it handed over "Sword and Sword Online" to Sohu Changyou's agency.

Then, Sohu discovered that "Sword and Sword Online" was not popular with card payment, so... it changed to free with one click. Then, after various random changes, the originally relatively balanced game suddenly became a krypton gold online game, and the original advantages were changed. 's gone.

In the early days, Sohu Changyou was an agent for games, and they were agents of one game after another.Not to mention it is well-known, it is also notorious.

Finally, one day, Zhang Chaoyang saw the new version of "Dragon Movie" on TV, and his thighs immediately clapped, I want this, this online game!

"Dragon Babu" has completely changed the destiny of Sohu Changyou. This self-developed 2.5D version of the online game.It's not technically advanced, but the art is pretty good, and it's based on Jin Yong's "Dragon Movie" IP.

Also, after the launch of "Dragon Movie", Sohu Changyou spared no expense to attract traffic crazily, because if "Dragon Movie" did not become popular, Sohu Changyou's subsidiary would be laid off.

As a result, the online game "Dragon Babu" became unsurprisingly popular.The highest number of online users exceeded 80. Although it did not rank among the top games with millions online, it actually broke the record of "Legend" with 67 highest number of online users.

In essence, this is IP empowerment!

If there was no IP, this game would probably not be popular if it were named after other cats and dogs.But the name of the game is "Dragon Babu", and it's completely different!

Then, Sohu discovered the wealth code, Jin Yong, Jin Yong is still Jin Yong!Catch Jin Yong’s IP and rip it off to death!

As for Pixel Software, it is a typical game company that is popular but not popular. "Sword and Demon Sealing Record" can be said to have amazed countless domestic stand-alone game players.

Then, "Sword Online" is also full of operation, requiring a series of combo operations, and full of a feeling like playing a fighting game.

This kind of design is undoubtedly a more advanced game than the novice-style online games where you just click with the mouse and press the skill shortcut keys on the keyboard.

This characteristic of designing fighting actions in games runs throughout Pixel Software Company.

But its fate has been bumpy, and it has always been well-received but not popular.Later, I finally developed an online game called "Xunxian" by myself and made some money.

Of course, a lot of money was invested in the research and development of "Sword and Sword 2". The style of this work is a bit like the later hit "Everlasting".

"Sword and Sword 2" was handed over to Goose Factory for operation in 2014, but it was paid in error again.

The main reason is that this game collided with other 3D martial arts games of Goose Factory. Goose Factory put "Sword and Sword 2" in cold storage in order to increase the traffic of other games.

"Sword and Sword 2" is inevitably a hit.

Many years later, "Eternal Tribulation" came out, a martial arts version of chicken fighting, which surprised many players.

However, some fans of "Sword and Sword 2" have mixed feelings. Many of the selling points that shined in "Sword and Sword 2" were actually already present in "Sword and Sword [-]".

Well, Goose Factory has certainly made many popular games, but it has also killed many good games.Mainly later, Goose Factory was not content-oriented, but based on its own traffic.

Zhao Han suddenly had an idea - how about finding an opportunity to hook up with Pixel Software?

Jin Yong’s IP is also considered to be licensed. Although the harvesting efficiency of this thing is not as good as some of the top IPs of Yingjiang Family.

But Jin Yong’s IP can harvest the Chinese cultural circle, and even some surrounding areas in Asia that are affected by the radiation of Chinese culture can also harvest a wave.

Mr. Jin Yong may not have thought that his greatest business achievement in his life would not be founding Ming Pao, but the more than ten martial arts novels he wrote before he stopped writing in the 70s.

These martial arts novels can still be harvested year after year after they are finished, just like the four masterpieces of the new era.

Well, the Four Great Classics are actually more influential, but the problem with the Four Great Classics is that public copyright does not have monopoly power.

If you make a movie with the theme of "Journey to the West" and it becomes popular, don't worry, a bunch of movies with the theme of "Journey to the West" will soon follow suit, and this market will quickly become exhausted.

The advantage of Jin Yong’s copyright is.If you get the exclusive rights to adapt it, you can harvest it year after year.

What if... I acquired Pixel Software and obtained the Jin Yong IP license.

Isn’t it an unprecedented idea to let Pixel Software adapt Jin Yong’s IP?

Chapter 294 Computer City Opens

On November 2004, 11, Singles' Day was still Singles' Day, and it did not become the Double Eleven promotion festival that it later became.

There were no major events on this day, or in other words, there were very few major events related to Zhao Han.Well, the only thing worth celebrating should be the first anniversary of Zhao Han's rebirth.

of course……

In fact, it is also Zhao Han's birthday. If it is counted as a birthday in the Gregorian calendar, Zhao Han was born on Double Eleven.

Of course, Zhao Han usually hates birthdays, so he won't let them pass after he turns 12.

Generally speaking, Zhao Han has reached the second level - I don't ask what I can do for the world, but what the world can do for me.

Rationally, he knows that he is not the center of the world and that the world does not revolve around him. However, this is the feeling that Zhao Han wants.

After rebirth, this feeling of being second best has even become stronger.

On this day, Zhao Han and Chen Wenwen attended the opening ceremony of Wenjing Computer City, another subsidiary of Wenwen Jingjing Technology Company.

“Dear leaders, distinguished guests, and friends from the media.

I am very happy that everyone can come and participate in the opening ceremony of Wenjing Computer City.

Our Wenjing Computer City is the only professional large-scale computer mall in the county.

This solves the embarrassing situation that the county does not have common DIY computer accessories stores similar to Zhongguancun in Beijing and Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen.

The beginning of the 21st century is destined to be an era when computers and the Internet will shine.Just like the spread of electricity at the beginning of the century.

If you do not popularize computers and the Internet, you will be as backward as the last century, when electricity was not popularized.

We cannot look at computers and the Internet from the old perspective, thinking that they are just like televisions and are new media and entertainment tools.In fact, it is not only a tool for playing games, reading news, and chatting, but also a tool for productivity.

Even if you are an ordinary person who has never gone to college or works in a technology company, you can actually use computers and the Internet to find your own opportunities.

For example, if you are a small businessman, you can check the prices of common products on the Internet to have an idea and solve the problem of price transparency.The wholesalers who cannot go upstream will pay whatever price they say.

For some of our products, the transparent upstream price on the Internet is 30 yuan, and the wholesale price at the provincial wholesaler after leaving the factory is 40 yuan. When wholesaled at all levels in the county, the purchase price of the small boss may be only 100 or [-] yuan, and finally it reaches the hands of consumers. [-] yuan.

And... Direct online shopping on the Internet, plus express delivery fees, may allow consumers to buy it for 60 yuan, which may be similar to the purchase price of small business owners.This is the dimensionality reduction impact of the advanced productivity of the Internet on the backward productivity of ordinary traditional business models.

This is where the Internet can help many ordinary people. The collection of information is more comprehensive. Information that could not be collected before can now be collected.

Countless people across the country and around the world have access to computers, the Internet, and various advanced productivity technologies.

If we don't use it, then the market that will be robbed of us will be completely unclear. Unknowingly, we only know that business is not easy to do, but we don't know that times have changed and business has been transferred to other channels.

So, we are not just students using computers.Adults, if you are not an elderly person and lack the ability to learn, while you still have the opportunity to learn new things, learn as much as you can...

Our original intention of establishing the Computer City was to provide local elders with a mall where they can better purchase DIY hardware, buy branded machines and provide a good after-sales experience.

At least, we have to have the computer cities that other big cities have to solve the problem...

Now, please give me a speech from the county leader..."

There were bursts of applause from the audience.

Chen Wenwen's skillful speech on stage was more vivid than Zhao Han's.Zhao Han can only do internal propaganda and draw cakes.

The speech to all walks of life and consumers is still lacking in enthusiasm.

However, as the general manager of the company, Chen Wenwen is responsible for a variety of internal and external affairs, and also receives visits from all walks of life, including government officials, business personnel, and the media.

In a sense, Chen Wenwen was originally suited to be a general manager. She had no chance in her previous life, but after middle age, in order to change the economic situation, she seized the opportunity of the mobile Internet and became a small Internet celebrity.

Then, the leader came to power.

He spoke a bunch of bureaucratic clichés of encouragement, and then left in a hurry.

The reason is very simple. Leaders have to rush to the scene. Various activities are very intensive. They take time to encourage, mainly Wenwenjingjing Technology Company, which is the only technology company in the county.

What are the other leading companies in the county?Department stores, hotels, cement factories, mining companies, real estate construction companies... gone!

I can't find any large-scale enterprises. Most businessmen really just rent a shop, set up a stall, buy each other's products, and consume each other's services.

Wenwen Jingjing's company, let alone other things, just sells tea, which is enough to put most local companies to shame.

Then, the leader of the police station on the Third Ring Road came to the stage to give a speech about maintaining law and order, escorting people, and creating a good business environment.

Finding a leadership platform also has a certain meaning.

The security of the Third Ring Road is actually not as good as that of the Second Ring Road, and there are still some street gangsters.There are not many who gather to harass small businessmen and extort money, but it cannot be said that there are none.

The subtext of this leadership coming to power is, if you have a backer, don’t mess with it!

The subtext can be understood by those on the road.

Those who don’t understand have already gone in.

Although it is not as wild as the late 90s, the future crackdown on crime and evil will indeed sweep in a lot of people.

After the speech ended.

Computer City has also begun to operate to the outside world.

Chen Wenwen also did some homework. During this time, he found some brand-name machine and hardware dealers in the province.

For the time being, all kinds of complete machines and hardware are put on the shelves.

Well, Intel and AMD were at loggerheads in 2004.Originally arrogant and unwilling to lower prices, many brand manufacturers of Intel consoles sold them at a loss.

Later, many manufacturers defected to AMD, so Intel lowered prices for brand manufacturers.

As a result, some brands of complete PCs, excluding monitors, are already priced at 2000 yuan.Some configurations might have cost four to five thousand a year ago.

In the early days of the opening of Wenjing Computer City, the variety of DIY computer hardware was not very rich.

Mainly based on branded machines, such as Qixi, Inspur, Founder, Tongfang, Shenzhou and other domestic brand machines.

Well, there is no association, this is not accidental, it is intentional.

Zhao Han has a problem with Lenovo. He can sell computers of any brand, but Lenovo cannot.Anyone familiar with Zhao Han knows this strange preference.
