Chapter Ninety-Six: The Demonstration Begins
Back in the dormitory, Liu Yun found that Chen Zifeng and Li Hao were there, but Ye Taolang was nowhere to be found. This guy's game account has been suspended now.,There's nothing to do.,I guess I'm going to fool around with those people in the senior position again.。
Liu Yun didn't care, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and climbed into the bed to sleep. When he closed his eyes, his heart was already silently looking forward to tomorrow.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Liu Yun woke up from his sleep, looked at his phone, and felt that it was still early and wanted to sleep for a while. But he tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and he couldn't sleep, and his whole person had an inexplicable sense of excitement. He looked at the time again, it was already 7:20, so let's get up.
Turning over his body and about to pick up the clothes that were placed next to the bed, Liu Yun's afterglow saw that Ye Taolang's bed was empty, I remember that when I fell asleep yesterday, he didn't come back, did he go to the Internet café all night?
Liu Yun was too lazy to think about why this guy was going, he simply washed down from the bed, and went downstairs to buy some breakfast, after returning to the dormitory, Chen Zifeng was still sleeping, and Li Hao had already gotten up, and he needed to go outside to work and study outside to earn a little living expenses on the weekend, he said hello to Liu Yun and left the dormitory.
Liu Yun opened the notebook, bored on the Internet to pass the time, the three major portals he took a general look, feeling that the web frame design of this era is ugly enough, the more you look at it, the more uncomfortable, he opened his own leisurely network, after the comparison, he felt that the website he designed was more visually beautiful.
The time slowly came to 8:20, and Liu Yueru sent a QQ message to Liu Yun, saying that she had arrived at the office. Although today is Saturday, all the company is working overtime.
Saturday, November 8, 2003, Shanghai market, the wind and the sun are beautiful.
Jiucheng is located in an exquisite office building in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai, with a transparent glass curtain wall on the walls. Zhu Jun, the boss of Jiucheng, glanced at the heavy Lawrence watch on his left wrist, took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone, and said, "Xiaobei, have the people from the United States arrived at Hongqiao Airport?" ”
The plane took off from California yesterday afternoon and will arrive at the airport at about 9 o'clock. On the other side of the phone, the man named Xiaobei said in a slightly excited tone.
After Zhu Jun hung up the phone, he sat back on his very luxurious, leather-made sofa chair. He leaned back in his chair and leisurely lit a cigarette. Since the beginning of the year, "Miracle MU" has been officially charged, and his popularity has been booming, and he has been soaring all the way, watching his wealth increase like a snowball, and his mood has become more and more happy.
Recently, the "Miracle MU" plug-in incident has made a lot of noise, and Jiucheng Company is also decisive, banning most of the players who pay for plug-ins, and a small number of players who use free plug-ins, showing the company's attitude to the outside world and Blizzard, they will not be merciful in the face of game plug-ins, and they are not threatened by players.
In the online game market in 2003, "Miracle MU" was undoubtedly the most high-quality game, and it took the lead in various game selections. Shanda's "Legend of Blood" is very popular and makes a lot of money, but to be honest, the popularity of this game in South Korea is an unbelievable and unretested miracle in China.
No matter in terms of the playability of the game and the degree of well-made, it cannot be compared with "Miracle MU". Zhu Jun is very sure of this, he believes that in the near future, "Miracle MU" will become more and more popular, and "Legend of Blood" will gradually decline. So those players who have been suspended have no better choice but to re-register an account and start from scratch.
In fact, in addition to "Legend of Blood", there are two more popular online games on the market, one is the RB online game "Magic Baby" represented by Netstar, and a 2D cartoon turn-based game, which is currently popular.
Similarly, there is NetEase's "Westward Journey 2", which flaunts the first officially operated domestic online game, and has also achieved great success under the banner of national games.
However, in Zhu Jun's eyes, these two cartoon games seem a bit naïve, and they are not qualified to be the opponents of "Miracle MU". In his words: There is too much difference between the three.
Zhu Jun has a bigger plan in his heart, and when he gets the agency of "World of Warcraft", when the time comes, in the online game market in China, the left hand Warcraft, the right hand Miracle, who will compete.
As the current number one boss in the Internet industry, he naturally won't pay attention to a small leisurely game network, even if the game forum of this website just kept the news of Jiucheng pointing to "World of Warcraft" not long ago, he will not know that on this game forum, a collective demonstration against Jiucheng Company is brewing.
……
Some gamers from Jiangnan Province and Jiangsu Province arrived in Shanghai on Saturday morning and gathered with some local players in Shanghai. In 2003, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas are the so-called free shipping areas in later generations, and the highways extending in all directions have been basically completed, and the traffic is very developed.
People from Jiangnan Province or Jiangsu Province come to Shanghai to play, even if it is not a big problem to go back and forth on the same day.
The time soon came to 10 o'clock in the morning, and the homepage of the Youyou website was updated, and it was written in bright red and eye-catching large letters at the top: Jiucheng, we are coming! And in the major sections of the game forum, this news is also placed at the top, and visitors only need to use the mouse lightly to enter the live scrolling interface.
Players are crazy, and even those netizens who don't usually play games are interested. Player marches, demonstrations, gatherings, and live broadcasts can also be broadcast. Many people did not hesitate to click on this homepage link, and after the page was refreshed, a paragraph of text and a photo popped up.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Xie, the news editor of Youyou.com, and now I'm in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai, and this beautiful office building behind me is where Jiucheng Company is located. We're live-streaming the rights of Miracle MUs players. ”
There is also a photo below, which shows the office building of Jiucheng Company, which is high-end and atmospheric, and it is all glass curtain wall.
After a minute, the page refreshes automatically with a new piece of text.
"Now there are some players coming here one after another, and these people are still holding signs. ”
Soon, another photo was posted. I couldn't see what the player looked like, just that he held up a sign that said, "Trash Dog City, return my account." ”
