Lin Yan and Yu Zihan talked on the phone for half an hour, and Lin Yan inquired in detail about what happened that night, including going to have a pedicure later.

After Lin Yan hung up the phone, he wrote down a few words: Tianyou.com, Xiao Yiming, Hu Aiqin, Zhang Lanjun, Chen Longsheng, and the Cultural Bureau. After writing about the Cultural Affairs Bureau, he suddenly remembered last year's annual meeting.

After a little thought, Lin Yan wrote down Zhu Jingtian's name again, everything seems to be caused by Tianyou.com, although Tianyou.com is not sure that Zhu Jingtian did it, the registered address is in Songhu, and combined with a variety of signs, Lin Yan is very suspicious that it has a lot to do with Zhu Jingtian.

In this era, there is no such software as "Tianqi Check", and the information on Du Niang is not comprehensive, and it is really not easy for a small enterprise like Tianyou to remotely find its corporate legal person and shareholder information.

The competition between companies is actually nothing, and it is normal for each to play tricks. Lin Yan just didn't want to be stabbed by others, but he didn't know who the opponent was, so it was too aggrieved.

From Yu Zihan's news, it can be determined that Hu Aiqin and Chen Longsheng are old classmates, Chen Longsheng is a former official of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and now works in the Education, Culture and Sports Bureau.

What is the relationship between Xiao Yiming and Hu Aiqin? What is the relationship between them and Zhu Jingtian? What is the significance of the Cultural Affairs Bureau sending people to the annual meeting a few years ago? Just to make trouble?

Lin Yan was thinking a lot when a phone call suddenly came.

Yan Zhengyao......

Lin Yan's mind suddenly appeared for a moment of distraction!?

He never thought that Yan Fei's father would call him, since he went to Songhu at the end of July last year to visit and meet, it has been almost a year now. Later, my career was too busy to take care of those things with Bright Future.

Lin Yan calmed down, picked up the phone and said, "Mr. Yan, hello, it's an honor for you to call in person!"

"Xiaolin Dong, you are too polite, now it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, it is the world of you young people, I am not cheeky to learn from you. Yan Zhengyao said with a smile.

Lin Yan remembered that in his previous life, when he and Yan Fei went to Yan's house for the first time, although Yan Zhengyao was also polite, he was arrogant from top to bottom.

The last time he went to Bright Future based on the company's market development, his attitude towards Lin Yan was quite normal, but this time on the phone, there was compliment and respect everywhere, and Lin Yan was still calm.

"Mr. Yan, look at what you said, how dare we juniors be presumptuous in front of you, if you have anything, just say it, as long as you can help, Xiaolin is duty-bound. Lin Yan still replied politely and calmly.

"Dong Xiaolin, when we met last year, we were unanimously optimistic about the online game market, and everyone was full of ambition. At that time, we were introducing the operation of the online game "King of Sparrows", and time has passed, and our King of Sparrows now has a big problem in its operation, while your "Immortal God" has risen in just 2 months, and the future is terrifying!" Yan Zhengyao's tone was full of appreciation and lemon flavor.

"It's just a little luckier, your cooperation with Puxue is the biggest success, and it's nothing for us to make a small fuss. ”

"Xiaolin Dong, when it comes to Waterfall Snow, this is the biggest constraint to the development of our company is also the biggest help, Waterfall Snow Company is strong, although we are operations and agents, but at their mercy everywhere, but we have to rely on them to make money, immediately Waterfall Snow will be on the "World of Warcraft" game, this agency operation is fiercely competitive, thinking of the failure of the operation of the "King of Sparrows", I have a bad premonition. "Yan Zhengyao and Puxue cooperated

For so many years, I know the pros and cons.

Yan Zhengyao's words are indeed right, it is impossible for small companies to be on an equal footing with large companies, just like small countries want to be independent, you have no nuclear weapons, no countermeasures, no absolute superiority in resources and economy, and the largest income depends on others, so the so-called equality is just a slogan.

Lin Yan heard a deep meaning from his words, and Yan Zhengyao wanted to cooperate with him.

According to the trend of the script in the previous life, Bright Future was the failure of the operation of "The King of Sparrows", which affected the competition for the agency operation of "World of Warcraft", and was finally robbed of love by ninety percent.

"Mr. Yan, you're right, cooperating with a large company is indeed a double-edged blade, you won't call me this time to tell me this, right?" Lin Yan said with a pretended question.

"Hehe, Lin Dong, I want to invite you to join us, our two companies cooperate to operate Waterfall's "World of Warcraft", you have great game operation capabilities, and we have huge market distribution capabilities, I don't know what your intentions are?" Yan Zhengyao finally said the purpose of this call.

"Well, we are quite interested in Mr. Yan's proposal, so let's find a time to meet, let's sit together and come up with a comprehensive cooperation plan, how about it?" Lin Yan deliberately paused for a few seconds, and his voice was slow and orderly, making Yan Zhengyao feel that he was thinking.

"Okay,......"

The two sides exchanged polite greetings again, and hung up the phone for about ten minutes.

Lin Yan's trip to Songhu last year, the original intention was also to get to know Yan Zhengyao, no matter what happened to the relationship between Yan Fei and himself in his previous life, but he really did not achieve the attitude and care of his "son-in-law", and wanted to make up for it.

When Bright Future was running "The King of Sparrows", it was the beginning of its career expansion, and it couldn't take care of that at all, and Lin Yan couldn't remember the historical events of Bright Future operating this online game.

"The King of Sparrows", an online game based on Japanese fantasy manga, was the new favorite of the Korean market in 2002, with more than 100,000 registered users in the open beta in two months, and was supported by 12,000 Internet cafes in Korea.

During the open beta period, even the game's posters and the heroine's promotional materials became the target of stealing by crazy players. What could be more indicative of the market popularity of The King of Sparrows?

IN AUGUST 2002, USAVI TOOK THE LEAD AND SIGNED A COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH THE KOREAN GAME DEVELOPER URITIC FOR "KING OF THE SPARROWS" WITH A SIGNING FEE OF $700,000 AND "73 SHARES".

URITEC values Bright Future's status as a waterfall partner and its distribution channels in the Chinese market, while Bright Future is dedicated to the "King of Sparrows" project and cultivates its own operational strength.

IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR THE INFLUX OF PLAYERS, URITIC AND UMAMI HAVE PREPARED 50 SERVERS IN ADVANCE, AND IT IS SAID THAT URITIC HAS ALSO RESERVED 100 SERVERS IN ANOTHER BACKUP PLAN. These are all measures taken to learn from the experience of the game's operation in Korea.

Bright Future market development mechanism was quickly launched. On October 16, the company distributed 1 million CD clients to 12 major provinces across the country through various channels. Bright Future is good at marketing and demonstrates the distributor's strong market momentum. Driven by market conditions, professional game magazines are almost unanimously optimistic about "The King of Sparrows", believing that the game is one of the "most anticipated online games of the year". With the addition of online games and animation culture, consumers' expectations have been raised to a high level.

But at this time, Bright Future already felt a little "unhappy", because in the previous game internal test, the company sent it

Now "The King of Sparrows" is "a lot of bugs", and Bright America "took a lot of effort to get it done one by one", which was completed under the condition that the technical support of the Korean partner was "relatively effective".

On October 25, 2002, the servers of "The King of Sparrows" in Tianjing, Songhu, Kuangzhou, Sichuanzhong, Sichuannan, and Xiangtan in six major cities in China were provided at the same time, and the open beta of the game began. Just as a change of commander will shake the morale of the army, it stands to reason that the version of the game at this time cannot be changed again and again, but something even stranger happened.

The open beta started at 7 o'clock, but at 6 o'clock our Korean partner gave us a new version, and there was a lot of change between the two versions. The new version had two or three hundred megabytes, which was considered a large capacity in the market at that time.

In the last hour, the new version could not cover all the servers, and the operation staff of Bright Future was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

October 25th is the first day of the open beta of "The King of Sparrows", but due to the repeated game procedures, this day has also become a "thrilling" day for the operation of Bright Future Games - "The King of Sparrows" has a bad start.

Players need to update the client, and the large amount of update downloads not only affects the satisfaction of players, but also has a huge impact on the game's network environment.

The rules of the game in the online market are now "If you want to dominate the game, you must start leveling up during the open beta phase of the game." With this mentality, the 200,000 players who applied for a test account on the official website waited anxiously, "All players want to play the game early, and they download the client at the same time, and no amount of servers can afford it." ”

Bright Future Electronics' largest partner in South China, the 21cn central computer room, was down due to the excessive flow of players in "The King of Sparrows", and the supervisor of 21cn was taken aback and called the technicians to the company for emergency maintenance in the middle of the night.

Theoretically, this outage could be counted as a "production accident", and 21cn later had to impose traffic restrictions on the download of "King of Sparrows".

Speaking of which, players who were rejected by the server were lucky - even if the player downloaded the client, after the installation was completed, many players could not enter the game normally, because this new version still has a lot of bugs.

Bright Future thought it was "PerfectVersion" (perfect version, there was no time and no way to organize internal testing, and it turned out to be a big mistake. "We were too gullible to the technology of the Koreans, and we suffered a big loss. "Bright Future still regrets, even resents.

Players who don't have a client rush to download it, which consumes a lot of resources, and players who have a client can't enter the game, and they shout and curse. Chinese players don't know URITEC, they just look for Bright Future.

Everyone in the marketing department worked overtime overnight, and the players who came to complain burst the hotline, and the players couldn't get through at all. In the end, it was so helpless that the staff of Bright Future did not even dare to answer the hotline.

The avoidance of the market and the avoidance of communication have made the situation more tense. "The first half of the game's open beta is a life-threatening situation, and if you say no, you won't work. Some people thought this worriedly, but they didn't expect it to become a prophecy.

Bright Future immediately invited Korean technicians to China. After some tossing, the game can be entered, but large and small bugs still plague the king of the king of sparrows with boundless mana in the comics.

Korean technicians have been working on it for a long time, but they haven't done it completely. So much so that Australia and the United States, which have been up and down in the business world for many years, couldn't hold back, and the reception staff once joked with their Korean partners that if the technology couldn't be done, they wouldn't let URITEC people return to China.
