Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"I saw that you were a little sad, so I just wanted to comfort you."

"Are you comforting me?"

"Why not? Comrade Lin Wanzhou, Shakespeare once said that all that is past is prologue. Let us embrace the rest of our lives actively and enthusiastically."

"You're so nervous."

The girl giggled and patted him.

Then he looked out the window and pondered for a few seconds.

"But before that, I have to say goodbye once more."

"How to say goodbye?" Xu Cheng asked.

His left hand was still in Xu Cheng's hand, so Lin Wanzhou used his left hand to press it a few times skillfully.

With a buzzing electronic noise, she turned on the broadcasting equipment.

Lin Wanzhou adjusted the microphone, adjusted the sound, and then moved closer to the microphone.

At this second, there was a bright light in her eyes, like scenes from the past.

The sky at this moment is set against orange-red clouds.

Warm and soft.

She spoke softly.

The sound is clear and pleasant, echoing in every corner and every classroom of the empty campus.

"This is the campus radio station. Hello everyone, I am today's announcer, Lin Wanzhou."

After saying that, she paused. Perhaps because her behavior was too abrupt, she suddenly became a little nervous.

The little hands unconsciously clenched a little.

Her hand was still held by Xu Cheng.

It was warm and I could feel his hot body temperature.

This reminded Lin Wanzhou of her first broadcast. Because she was nervous, Xu Cheng held her hand.

Later, during countless broadcasts, she stipulated that the player could only pull for a short while, but this guy always pulled for the whole time.

It is a radio station, but it is more than just a radio station.

Because they carry so many memories, those places and those corners become special, those boring jobs become interesting, and those repetitive lives become hard to give up.

"Today is the last day of broadcasting work..."

The girl was silent for a long time. She didn't know what to say or how to say goodbye because of her impulsive behavior just now.

At this moment, the boy's slightly magnetic voice came to my ears.

"Xu Cheng, out."

The girl turned her head to look at him, and the boy squeezed her hand encouragingly and then mouthed something to her.

"Goodbye."

In fact, Lin Wanzhou didn’t understand the lip shape.

But she suddenly remembered what Xu Cheng had just said.

He said a lot, and it was very funny, but when she thought about it now, the thing that impressed her most was Shakespeare's beautiful line:

Everything in the past is a prologue.

"Lin Wanzhou, out."

……

Chapter 329: Confrontation and Rise

The battle between Hapi.com and QQ Space for users shows no signs of stopping.

The two families were ready to fight to the death, and both sides were clearly aware of this.

On the Penguin side, QQ Space is an important project of Penguin. We have invested enough energy in it and it must not end in a hasty manner.

As for Qingzhou, Hapi.com is Qingzhou's only and most important platform for attracting users. If Penguin takes the lead, the consequences will be irreversible. This gives them a reason to spare no effort.

End of the year.

This winter is not as cold as last year.

As Plants vs. Zombies became popular, a new game suddenly went online on QQ Space——

Grab a parking space.

Everyone has a parking lot with three parking spaces, and the system also gives away a second-hand Alto.

Parking your car in someone else's parking lot can earn you "cash" income, which can be used to buy a higher-level car.

Rumor has it that as long as you are rich enough, you can buy a golden car worth more than 2 million yuan.

With the rise of web games, parking space grabbing has become a game that many users play to kill the remaining time after stealing vegetables.

Don’t underestimate this small piece of fragmented time, it’s how user stickiness is created.

Many visionary leaders in the industry seem to have foreseen that in the future, users of Hapi.com may experience the parking space grabbing game on QQ Space out of curiosity, and then become dual game users of Hapi Farm and QQ parking space grabbing. In the later stage, due to the trouble of logging in back and forth, they will gradually become users of QQ Space and abandon Hapi.com.

Therefore, the launch of Penguin's parking space grabbing device can be said to be a great success.

Zheng Zhihao, who was in charge of the development of the parking space grabbing project, was even more prominent within Penguin.

Many media also see this as a major victory for QQ Farm in its competition with Hapi.com for users.

The marketing of clickbait headlines is everywhere.

"A generation of "heroes" has come to an end, ten inevitable reasons for the shutdown of Hapi Farm", "Analyzing the rise and fall of Hapi.com from a psychological perspective", "Today, Hapi Farm is facing a cold winter"...

Many people are looking forward to what kind of counterattack Hapi.com will make.

However, what Hapi.com did next was so simple and crude that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

One week after going online to grab a parking space on QQ space.

Internet users including students and urban white-collar workers have given clear feedback that they all like the game of grabbing parking spaces, which is based on social relationships.

The user activity of QQ space has increased, and the growth rate of new users has also become much faster.

Just as Zheng Zhihao was opening the champagne himself at the celebratory dinner, an employee came over and told him something out of the blue -

Hapi.com has launched a game called "Occupy Parking Space".

Zheng Zhihao was completely dumbfounded.

He first suspected that an internal employee had leaked company secrets.

After all, the development of the parking grab has always been carried out in secret.

Even if you work overtime and without sleep for a week at Hapi.com, it is impossible for you to produce a stable parking space reservation app, right?

Unless you have started it a long time ago!

This possibility cannot be ruled out, because the origin of this parking space grab is not very glorious.

However, the Ministry of Justice’s investigation was given priority.

The branch company of QQ Space was in a state of panic for a while.

As a computer practitioner who signed a confidentiality agreement before joining the company, leaking company secrets would definitely put one at risk of ruining his or her reputation.

Moreover, given the strength of Nanshan Pizza Hut's legal department, there would be absolutely no problem in giving you a pair of small handcuffs.

After a long, one-on-one conversation that made every employee anxious and worried, Penguin did not find any problems internally.

On the contrary, the "Parking Space Occupancy" game of Hapi.com was launched smoothly during the period of internal turmoil at Penguin, and its subsequent performance was very good.

Although the speed at which the number of users is increasing is still not comparable to that of Penguin, this is mainly because QQ Space, backed by its own chat software, already has a huge number of traffic groups. The number of middle and high-level users who are truly willing to share and interact is actually completely incomparable to Hapi.com.

And after Zheng Zhihao personally experienced the struggle of fighting for a parking space, that bad feeling came back again.

Imaginative module function development, incredible iteration speed...

To be honest, he was amazed by this "copied from them" parking space grabber.

As for imitation, his answer was that the starting point of Hapi.com and Penguin was the same, which was why they released this app with more functions a week after QQ Space.

Occupying a parking space.

What's even more troubling to him is how should he deal with it now?

In the previous "war", Penguin has always played the role of a powerful latecomer in the industry, challenging the industry pioneer Hapi.com in farm projects.

But now.

Is Hapi.com going to challenge them in the parking space project as a latecomer in the industry?

Many people need several days to get used to changing their posture. It would be very difficult for them to adapt to the new fighting position suddenly.

In the past, they didn’t need to consider anything else. They just borrowed whatever was available on Hapi.com.

but now……

They had the upper hand and occupied the moral high ground.

But facing an "imitator" who seems to be more useful than himself...

The simplest way, of course, is that if you have it, I must have it too.

But this will put them in a very embarrassing situation.

They could have shamelessly stood on the moral high ground and condemned Hapi.com through public opinion.

But what if they also imitate the functions of the "imitator"?

So from the perspective of outsiders, isn't this also a kind of being both right and wrong?

The impact of public opinion, the damage to the brand and even the damage to his personal reputation are all things Zheng Zhihao can imagine.

at the same time.

This incident still caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.

"Epi" and "Hapi" are confronting each other, and the main battlefield of public opinion is the most popular forum at the moment.

"Ha, you're really good at stealing vegetables, you're stealing other people's games too, right?"

"The farm was previously sold to Penguin by Hapi.com, but now it is blatantly plagiarizing it?"

"Habi, talk!"

"Don't the little bastards say every day that our family was robbed? Your master did it himself. Is this human nature?"

From the perspective of the fans who are mainly "epi", the whole incident is not as complicated in their eyes as Zheng Zhihao's. It can be summarized in one sentence -

Hapi.com copied my game!

It can be said that the goose criticism has always been slightly inferior to the hard criticism in the confrontation of public opinion.

After all, the QQ Farm they support is an independent channel split from the Hapi Farm.

And the most important thing is that in the subsequent function updates, most of the functions will first be logged in to Hapi.com, and then will appear in QQ Farm after a few days.

Therefore, the accusation of plagiarism was put on their heads for a long time.

Now, they can finally give their enemies a taste of their own medicine.

This allowed them to vent a lot of their resentment.

The heat of denouncing Hapi.com is boiling on the Internet, and the Hapis who are fighting against the wind don’t quite understand Hapi.com’s behavior. They don’t understand why it plagiarized Penguin, and some people are even a little disappointed with Hapi.com.

The main force of Hapi.com disappeared from the Internet in an instant.

Such a favorable wind environment made the geese feel elated for a moment.

However, many Penguin fans also found it strange, wondering why the main Penguin had not spoken out yet and had their legal department take action.

They seemed to have remained silent, as if they didn't want the matter to become too popular.
