Chapter 685: Flood
When "Sonic" became popular in overseas markets, a web game pushed by TT chat software was also quietly popular in China. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
Since June, some TT chat users in China have found that TT has popped up ads, and when they open it, a game page appears on the Pangu browser, TT users do not need to register an account, they only need to log in to the TT game webpage with TT account authorization.
The first game pushed by TT is also very simple, which is the popular "stealing vegetables" game. The selling point of this game is that it is simple and easy to use, and the user needs to open up his own farm and grow his own plants with the click of the mouse. At the same time, friends can help each other with pesticide, fertilization, and watering.
Of course, you can also steal vegetables to the detriment of others and yourself.
Soon after the game was launched, the number of player users quickly exceeded 100,000, and by the beginning of July, it was close to 200,000 players, joining the army of vegetable stealers, and the user base skyrocketed every day.
Because, this game is free, easy to play, and highly interactive. Many office workers who didn't want to play games were also special to work every once in a while, collect or serve food.
Of course, there is a limit to stealing vegetables, and players cannot be infinitely addicted to stealing vegetables. The number of times you steal vegetables is only 20 times a day, and if you exceed 20 times, you can only be a good person, help your friends get rid of insects and sprinkle water.
Although the game is free, there are still paid items, such as pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, etc., which users can spend money to buy and save time for development. Of course, as a casual game, users can play it for free, anyway, as long as you don't rush and play slowly, sooner or later you will have everything.
But I can't bear it, some people are in a hurry, so that now this game actually has tens of thousands of yuan of recharge every day......
After the game of stealing vegetables gradually became famous in China, Hong Kong, Japan and other regions have also been pushed one after another...... Subsequently, Europe and the United States waited for the same number of boring vegetable stealers.
The number of players overseas is a little smaller than that in China, but it is still growing every day.
Players all over the world are addicted to stealing vegetables.
Many people dance when they meet: "Do you play stealing vegetables?"
"Let's add friends to each other and steal vegetables!"
The vegetable stealing game not only enriches the functions of TT chat, but more importantly, the Pangu system also relies on the vegetable stealing game to lead the Internet application.
Of course, P or other versions of stealing vegetables will also be pushed. However, TT generally develops the Pangu version first, at least a few months later, before developing a version of P or other platforms. In this way, Pangu users can maintain a leading position in Internet applications.
After stealing vegetables became more and more popular, it was less than the show-off.
Lin Qi smiled: "This dish, I was bored, and it took me five minutes to come up with it." ”
"That's it, but I have strong execution ability, I can't deny it, a group of new programmers came, and soon started the page game project. Less than said proudly.
Compared with the R&D personnel of PU and operating systems, the second is the TT project team, browsers and other common application software.
The most important is the web game and the like, which is a project that third-rate programmers use to practice.
However, it is also surprising that this kind of training project can become popular.
Subsequently, a web game department was set up in TT, and after the vegetable stealing game, it opened up the city development game, the deep sea fishing game, the tank battle page version, and the Chinese cube web version...... These simple and easy-to-play games are rapidly becoming popular all over the world, which is also due to the poor network infrastructure around the world, and large-scale online games are still limited by network speed and hardware for the time being, so it is normal for this kind of small game to be popular first.
……
Although, this year, the overall domestic economic situation is still stable and rising, much stronger than in history. Still, natural disasters are a source of concern.
Since May, it has been raining extensively in East China, with heavy rain showers and heavy rains. Until July, the floods were still very serious.
In May and June, according to statistics, floods have occurred in 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, and serious floods have occurred in 5 provinces and autonomous regions. Among them, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces were the most severely affected. According to preliminary statistics, more than 48 million people have been affected in Anhui, accounting for 70% of the total population, with 267 deaths and losses of 7 billion yuan. More than 42 million people, or 62% of the province's total population, were affected by the disaster, with 164 deaths and losses of 9 billion yuan. We call on all sectors of society to help us and work with the people in the affected areas to tide over the difficulties. ”
The news broadcast showed pictures of the disaster area, and the central leaders rushed to the disaster area to offer condolences, and the People's Liberation Army rushed to the front line to relieve the disaster with their bodies.
This flood is actually no less than the flood in '98. It was also the frequent floods that later began to pay attention to the construction of hydropower and reservoirs in China, and through reservoir regulation, more water was released during the drought and more water was stored in the rainy season. Releasing and storing water, which regulates water conservancy, is also possible to generate electricity and generate economic benefits.
For example, after the completion and operation of large reservoirs such as the Three Gorges Hydropower Station on the Yangtze River, not only did power supply be ensured, but the flood disaster in the Yangtze River basin was also much stronger.
"It's so pitiful, such a young child, the home is gone. Meng Xin burst into tears as she watched the TV.
"I didn't expect it to be so serious, all the industries in the two provinces were basically paralyzed, and this disaster was too severe, and it was difficult to get through it by relying on the strength of the public alone. ”
"After an hour, I remember that when there was a big flood, my relatives in the countryside went to the city for shelter. I thought that just the flood could not inhabit people, but now I know that this kind of flood is too miserable. ”
Lin Qi also stopped his chopsticks, and in the face of such a situation, he naturally couldn't be indifferent.
On July 16, the central government held a meeting to study and deploy flood relief measures.
Donations from home and abroad have also begun to be made one after another. Of course, most of the so-called overseas donations are donations from the Chinese community. As for the donations from the West, they are minimal. Most developed countries have contributed only a few tens of thousands of dollars...... Symbolically, I donated.
Like many large international enterprises, when China is poor, they do not donate.
In later generations, after China became rich, large companies such as Apple and Samsung donated hundreds of millions of dollars, not more because of conscience, but because there was a problem in the public opinion of these companies and they needed crisis public relations. But in general, the more China develops, the more people care about you, and the more you have problems, the more donations you give, because your market is very attractive, and they want to make your money, so they naturally need to leave a better image in your mind.
But...... Now China is very poor, and many overseas companies do not even have business in China, and even if they do, it is estimated that tens of thousands of yuan will be donated. Hundreds of millions? Don't be stupid, there will be no million-level donations! Because these foreigners don't feel the need for large donations to improve their brand image in China.
More than half of them relied on domestic donations, and more than a quarter of them were donations from Hong Kong and Macao. The total amount of domestic donations and contributions from Hong Kong and Macao is close to 80% of the total donations.
Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh, after all, he is still Chinese, and his bloodline is reliable. In later generations, it was almost like this, and there were only a handful of people who made trouble in Hong Kong, and their voices were particularly loud. However, Hong Kong's share of domestic disaster donations has always been second only to China's. Donations from other cities in Beijing and Shanghai, which are of the same economic scale as Hong Kong, are often far inferior to those of Hong Kong.
This is not only because Hong Kong has a large number of Chinese billionaires, but more importantly, at a critical time, the national sentiment will still prevail. A lot of those who are making trouble are taking a foreigner's money, or want to take a foreigner's money, and there are a handful of Southeast Asians who are not of my race. Mixing sand with Hong Kong destroys the sense of identity and belonging of more than 90% of the Chinese people, which is also the trap set by Britain and the United States and other countries before and after the handover.
Yes, in '97 it was time to return, but ...... It is not happy that these people do not add to China's blockage.
Due to the policy that has not changed for 50 years, it cannot directly intervene after the return to China.
Of course, Lin Qi in Hong Kong must not allow the people to be brainwashed and torn apart into different camps and groups by various forces outside the country.
In mid-July, after Lin Qi saw the news, he announced with Meng Xin that he would personally donate 100 million US dollars in cash, 7 for the procurement of emergency relief materials for the victims in the disaster area, as well as resettlement work.
