Now what Effie is talking about is to prepare to purchase servers in 100 regions, then the procurement budget is as high as 500 million!

In any game company, this is not a small amount.

And Facebook Games is not only an online game such as CSOL, but also has a high demand for servers in World of Warcraft.

So recently, Facebook Games has become the largest customer of IBM's server division, and every purchase is directly connected with Facebook Games by the senior vice president in charge of global marketing business at the headquarters.

Of course, because of Yu Wenfei's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business unit, IBM is also relatively friendly to Facebook Games.

In terms of price, delivery speed, and technical support, high priority has been given, and the cooperation between the two sides is still very pleasant.

In addition, it should be noted that Star Technology only acquired IBM's personal computer business unit, not IBM's server division. IBM'S SERVERS ARE AS FAMOUS AND STATUS IN THE INDUSTRY AS THINKPAD LAPTOPS IN THE FIELD OF PERSONAL COMPUTERS!

And even more!

............

If you invest hundreds of millions of dollars in it, the result is a dismal revenue, which will put a mark of failure on Effie's resume.

Some directors of the company's board of directors should also have objections to her.

But as if Effie didn't take these risks into account, she was determined to continue to push for CSOL's free-to-play model, even more resolutely than before the game went live.

Other executives in the company may not understand, but Effie herself knows that at this time, she must not admit defeat, let alone regret it.

CSOL's permanent free model must succeed and can only succeed, otherwise, your future will really be bleak in the future.

She hadn't thought about the risks of this free-to-play model before, but the success of the 2003 WCG Commemorative Edition skin box made her determined.

Think that in online games, the introduction of this free-to-play model will work and will be groundbreaking!

In the game industry, Effie has only been in the industry for a year, although because she is in charge of Facebook games, industry insiders regard her as a big man.

Effie herself knows in her heart that others respect her only because she is the president of Facebook Games, not because of her Effie.

Maybe behind the scenes, there will be many people who ridicule themselves, saying that they are lucky, and even have an unsavory relationship with Mr. Fei, so that they can go from a college dropout to today's position.

Effie's contribution to Facebook and Facebook Games is naturally known to Yu Wenfei and the shareholders, but outsiders don't know too much.

Because from an outsider's point of view, Effie really hasn't made any big moves, and her promotion is so fast that it has to be doubtful.

Effie had actually been holding her breath in her heart, she didn't want to be looked down upon like this.

And since she is the CEO of Facebook Games and a big name in the game industry, she has to do something that really matches her identity and makes everyone remember her.

It should be a good choice to change the charging model of online games and create a new model......

Therefore, this time, CSOL's permanent free model is not only a question of whether a game can make money, but also Effie wants to make a name for himself!

............

From top to bottom, Facebook Games is busy with World of Warcraft and CSOL things.

At this time, Yu Wenfei was a little idle.

On February 6, Zhou Mengyi came back from the United States, and Hu Jingjing said that she would take the company's driver to pick up the airport, but Yu Wenfei happened to be fine, so she drove to the airport to pick it up.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport, and after a long-distance flight, Zhou Mengyi felt a little tired.

Rising from the large and comfortable seat, I stretched my waist, and my perfect figure was revealed under the tight cashmere sweater and jeans.

There are not many guests in the first class, most of them are greasy middle-aged and elderly people with big bellies, and a young girl in her early twenties like Zhou Mengyi is very prominent, and she is still single.

When she was on the road, a middle-aged uncle next to her wanted to talk to her several times, and wanted to ask Zhou Mengyi for a contact number, but Zhou Mengyi politely refused.

Reach out and open the overhead luggage compartment, take out a small LV suitcase, put on a coat and wrap a scarf.

took out a pair of big sunglasses from her bag and put them on, Zhou Mengyi was ready to get off the plane.

The middle-aged man who had accosted him next to him also got up and took off his suitcase, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to the city?"

Zhou Mengyi nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "That's just right, my driver will pick me up in a while, and I'll go back to the city, why don't I give you a ride." You don't have to wait for a taxi at the airport, which usually takes more than half an hour. ”

"No, someone should pick me up. If not, there is also a free minibus. ”

People are so polite, Zhou Mengyi is not too cold, so she replied politely.

The cabin door had been opened, and the first-class guests could go down in advance, so Zhou Mengyi pulled the suitcase and walked out first.

The middle-aged man in the back hurriedly followed, and said without giving up: "The free minibus is dirty and messy, so let's do it, if no one picks you up, take my car." ”

"No need, thank you. Zhou Mengyi said without looking back.

Although he was rejected several times, the middle-aged man did not give up, and followed Zhou Mengyi, babbling about something, but Zhou Mengyi didn't hear it clearly.

After walking through the long passage and coming to the international arrival exit, Zhou Mengyi raised her head and looked around, and she told Hu Jingjing about her return.

If the company is not too busy, it should be sent over.

But if no one really comes to pick it up, Zhou Mengyi doesn't care, you can take a taxi or take a free minibus.

Thinking of the free minibus, Zhou Mengyi remembered her father, didn't he just drive a minibus at the airport, he should have come back to work after the New Year, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he should have a meal with him when he came back this time and talk about things at home.

At the exit, Zhou Mengyi took a look and didn't see anyone holding a sign with his name written on it, nor did he see a familiar person.

She thought that everyone in the company was busy and didn't have time to pick her up, so she would go and take a minibus, maybe she could meet her father.

The middle-aged man who followed her also saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Zhou Mengyi.

"What's the matter? No one picked it up? Let's go, my car has arrived, let's take my car back." As he spoke, he pointed to the side of the road, where a black bus was parked.

It can be seen that this is also a big boss with a lot of money, and in those years, it was not easy to afford two or three million Daben.

Zhou Mengyi grinned and shook her head, "No need, I'll take a minibus." ”

The middle-aged man was about to say something more, when he heard a roar of "buzzing ......", mixed with the crisp "pop" sound of throttle backfire, and a moonlight silver sports car came speeding forward.

Hearing this sound, people on the side of the road turned their heads to look at the car, these days, sports cars are still relatively rare, so when encountered, everyone will take a few more looks.

This silver sports car is a little different from those exaggerated supercars that you see in magazines, and the front of the car looks like a sedan, with understated and elegant lines.

Zhou Mengyi didn't care, she pulled her suitcase and was about to go to the minibus stop, who knew that the car stopped directly beside her.

The windows were slowly lowered, and a voice came from the car, "Beauty, get in the car?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhou Mengyi turned her head suddenly, and a bright smile appeared on her face, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he opened the passenger door, sat in, and carried the small suitcase directly into it and put it in the back seat.

The middle-aged man behind her was dumbfounded!

I've been talking to her for so long, and this beauty doesn't even look at it much, why did she get in the car directly after someone said a word?

But when he looked at the Bentley Continental GT and then turned his head to look at his own Daben, he seemed to understand something.

Although the Bentley car is not known to ordinary people, he obviously knows it, but ......

It's not like I can't afford this Bentley Continental!

Forehead...... Although it hurts to buy.

Is it true that girls nowadays only like sports cars, not Daben?

Then I have to think about whether to get a sports car too, Bentley Continental is too expensive, let's get a Porsche 911, it's also a supercar!

............

Of course, the middle-aged man thought he understood, but in fact he still didn't.

The reason why Zhou Mengyi got into the car so happily was because Yu Wenfei was sitting in the car, and if she changed people, she wouldn't have her head twisted.

After sitting in the car, Zhou Mengyi looked inside the car, and it was the first time she saw Yu Wenfei's new car.

"This car is good, it looks like a sedan, and the interior is also very beautiful, you just bought it?"

Yu Wenfei smiled and said, "Yes, I just bought it for a few days, by the way, I also bought one for you." Jim red, that's a pretty color, you should like it. ”

Zhou Mengyi said with a smile: "As long as you buy it, I like it!"

"Come back this time and have a good rest for a while, take a vacation. By the way, your villa has also been renovated, and I asked the housekeeper to hire a few servants for you, so you can move in directly. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

Zhou Mengyi relaxed and leaned lazily on the back of the seat.

"Well, rest for a few days, but it won't be long. By the way, I'm coming back this time, I want to arrange the family, my father has also worked in the magic capital for a few years, I moved his hukou, as well as my mother and little sister's hukou, and then bought them a suite, which can be regarded as settling in the magic capital. I can't let the people in the village point at me behind my back and scold me, saying that I am now developed, living in a villa and driving a luxury car, and making my family suffer. ”
