The glittering raindrops poured down like money, smashing on the roof of the bus stop, on the umbrella, and on the ground, splashing large and small crystal water.

This scene may be beautiful in the photo, but it is not a good thing in reality. Not to mention how many people's established plans have been disturbed by the sudden rain, the moisture that runs around with the strong wind alone is annoying enough, not to mention getting into the cuffs and pants to take away the body temperature, and it will also wet the mobile phone screen and affect the use, which is very annoying.

rubbing the phone screen on her boyfriend's sleeve, Qi Linlin once again complained about the bus that missed the bus.

Wu Pan's patience is very good, comforting her and saying that it is normal for the car to drive slowly in the rain, and it is normal to be late, just wait, anyway, the mobile phone still has more than half of the power. At this moment, he was hugging the other party and using his body to help her block the wind and rain. Although the actual effect is debatable, at least the picture looks good and can effectively improve the boyfriend's strength.

After Mopan Technology officially settled in Haixi Pioneer Park, the four founders rented a house nearby and settled down and became close neighbors. Compared with the island, which is small and densely populated and the housing price is catching up with the first-tier cities, the cost of all aspects outside the island is much lower, which is more suitable for these creative generations. The only problem is that most of the schools and government offices are on the island, and they need to take a bus back and forth from time to time, and then the two people who went to the island to go through the school leaving procedures today were hit by the heavy rain before the typhoon, and at this moment the two are huddled together waiting for the bus that has been delayed for a long time.

Qi Linlin spoke again, but complained about the weather app on her mobile phone, "It's too unreliable, no app can accurately forecast such a heavy rain, and now it shows that it is cloudy and windy, and the probability of precipitation is 30%!"

"Weather apps are only allowed to use the official weather API, so the forecast results are the same. Besides, hasn't the sky been updated to heavy rain?"

Hearing Wu Pan mention the whole people's view of the sky, Qi Linlin snorted dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it an afterthought? Before the rain, they still reported that it was cloudy in the underworld, and it was also a matter of a few minutes to change it to heavy rain." The bee's 'old bird' is actually as unreliable as the probability of precipitation!"

"The role of the bee 'old bird' is to quickly process and update quickly when users report real-time weather, but it is still an after-the-fact broadcast rather than a forecast, so it can only be an afterthought. ”

"Yes, yes, it seems that you, an angel watcher, don't deserve it for nothing. By the way, how many points did you earn just now?"

"I had okay pace and got 40 points. ”

"It's only 4 yuan, which is only enough for the bus," Qi Linlin suddenly turned around, looked into her boyfriend's eyes and said, "You didn't let me call a taxi just now, shouldn't it be that you don't have money?"

Shen Mo said that the company's funds can last until August, but that is the limit of doing nothing but ensuring salary expenses, which is as meaningless as the limit standby data of mobile phones. After the launch of "SuperPerspeie", in order to raise money for advertising and promotion, Mopan Technology carried out a capital increase and share expansion, with four shareholders collectively increasing their capital and absorbing some employees to voluntarily join the shares. However, the cost of promotion in the foreign market exceeded everyone's expectations, resulting in the consumption of this money faster than expected, and now there is not much left, Shen Mo and Wu Pan have to privately lend money to the company to maintain operations.

"Haha," Wu Pan smiled and patted his girlfriend on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there is still some money in the company's account, enough to wait until the first share arrives." Our new games are now on high speed, and the days of running out of money to spend on grinding plates will soon be over. ”

It has been launched in the bee store in Japan, the United States and Europe, with a total of more than 100,000 downloads, and the user evaluation is also generally good. While there are some moralists and die-hard fans who slam the content as vulgar and vulgar, there are far more users who like it. There are also people who write emails to make suggestions, or send their own fanworks to add to the game, and during this time, Qi Linlin's main job is to use translation software to view and reply to these overseas emails.

So she is still clear about the actual situation of the company's new tour, and immediately debunked: "That's just that there will be money in the future, not now." ”

"It's almost a few days," Wu Pan said, "and I don't let you take a taxi not to save money, but it's not suitable for a car on such a rainy day..."

As he was talking, the other party interrupted: "Wait, the car is coming!"

Although she was a little reluctant to take the bus, although the car was already full of passengers and there were no empty seats, she saw the car approaching Qi Linlin and hurriedly interrupted her boyfriend's speech and beckoned him to get on the bus together. Even if you stand all the way home, it's better than staying at the bus stop to get windy and rainy, and there are free iFi on the bus.

Standing in the noisy and crowded bus, swaying left and right as it accelerates and decelerates, it should have been a distressing and boring thing, but her mood at this time is full of happiness and happiness like the other 40 or so passengers on the bus.

After all, happiness is comparative, and the damp and cramped carriage is certainly annoying, but the struggle against the wind in the heavy rain is obviously more painful and boring, and just a glance at the pedestrians outside is hard, and happiness will naturally appear.

was staring at the hazy car window in a daze, Qi Linlin suddenly saw a mobile phone appear in front of her, "Look at this." ”

Looking down, it was a news page in the same city, and a private car unfortunately stalled while passing through a waterlogged road, becoming the first car to be "drowned" today.

"I just wanted to say this, cars are easy to tragedy on rainy days, and it is safer to take the bus. Anyway, the speed of the car can't be fast, and you have to move back slowly. ”

She has seen similar news before, after all, "watching the sea" did not start this year, but at that time, she was in the warm quilt of the dormitory, and her feelings were not as profound as today, let alone the slightest fear and happiness.

"Okay, you're reasonable," Qi Linlin turned around, kissed her boyfriend on the face, and praised the latter lovingly.

However, Wu Pan was puzzled, and actually looked at the flooded car on the screen, giving her a glimpse of the car's ground clearance parameters.

Generally speaking, the lower the center of gravity, the better the stability of the car, and the lower the chassis also improves grip and high-speed handling, so a speed-hungry F1 car usually has only a few centimeters of ground clearance, and the driver looks like he is sitting on the ground. In order to increase the comfort and adaptability of the city road, the ground clearance of the passenger car has been significantly increased, although it usually does not exceed 20 cm. After all, the higher the chassis, the worse the stability, and it is easy to flutter at high speeds, so you can only sacrifice comfort appropriately for better handling.

In order not to make consumers feel that their cars are dwarf, some manufacturers will only publish the height and ground clearance data when they are empty, and as a result, they will immediately be shorter as soon as they go up. Usually it's nothing, and in the event of a hard stop on the road and water on the road, the car will be the first to turn into a cup. Especially now there are electronic systems everywhere in the car, such as ABS anti-lock, active suspension system, PS tire pressure monitoring, etc., many of which do not specifically add waterproof design, even if the engine does not enter the water and stall, the electronic system can still make the car lie down.

At first, Qi Linlin didn't understand what was going on, but after listening to it, she came back to her senses, leaned into her boyfriend's ear and asked, "Tell me, which car do you like?"

Wu Pan and Shen Mo had already used their summer vacation and spare time to obtain a driver's license, but they had never thought of buying a car. I can't afford to buy imported famous cars, and I don't want to buy domestic cars, so I just take a taxi or rent a car when I need to. Now seeing that the company is about to usher in a wave of cash flow, I naturally moved the idea of buying a good car.

"I'd like to buy a Humvee. ”

"Heh, the goal is quite ambitious, but can you afford to drive a Hummer kind of oil tiger? Besides, you can't buy it if you want to, unless you plan to buy domestic cars," Qi Linlin said sarcastically, her boyfriend's attitude towards domestic cars, she is naturally clear.

In the Gulf War in the 90s, the high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle H used by the US military was in the limelight, and its manufacturer, the American AGeneral, responded to the request of military fans around the world and produced a civilian version of this military vehicle, that is, the huer (Hummer). Later, General Motors of the United States saw the high profits of Hummer, and in 1999, it was acquired and launched several versions of new cars.

However, when the new century arrived, the American GIs who returned to the Middle East in H because of the war on terror found that the era F had changed, and the once majestic car became the target of IE roadside bombs and RPG rockets, and it was blown out of the psychological shadow. The scenery on the battlefield is no longer there, and there are more and more voices criticizing military Humvees on the Internet, and many people give advice to the US military, hoping to replace better and more powerful military vehicles in order to better protect the lives of American soldiers.

When the military version of the Hummer was disgraced in the Middle East, the civilian Hummer that was taken over by General Motors also began to lose its appeal. GM's new Hummer is becoming more comfortable and fuel-efficient, but it is not flattering: military fans and off-road fans feel that the new model has become more urban and has lost its military vehicle temperament, while urban users dislike the Hummer's high fuel consumption and hard suspension.

When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 07, the middle class in Europe and the United States tightened their wallets, and General Motors suffered a major blow and had to declare bankruptcy protection in 09, and a large number of classic brands, including Hummer, were put on the shelves to sell themselves to pay off their debts. Then sure enough, there were local tyrants who jumped out to buy "horses", among which there was a Sichuan provincial company that made construction machinery and G reached an acquisition, but finally suspended the transaction on the grounds that it did not pass the approval.

Interestingly, a year before Boss Li bought the horse, this company was still engaged in electrical machinery and plastic products, and during the buying period, another chemical company under Boss Li just landed in the Hong Kong stock market to start IP, and its reputation increased dramatically, and the stock price rose sharply. After this big news, Boss Li was temporarily silent, and it was not until 14 years when he suddenly joined the Runaway Boss Club that the creditor's door-to-door debt collection incident was exposed.

When the bus stopped again, the two were arguing about the darker stock market there, Qi Linlin suddenly straightened his chin and motioned for him to turn his head to look behind the car.

Through the back window of the car, you can see a black bus behind you, "See, what is a Hummer? Your target should be this super touring car!"

Wu Pan had also recognized the car as Atletico Madrid's Super Snail, and he had been invited to visit it, so he naturally knew what kind of luxury equipment the car contained under its seemingly ordinary appearance. Thinking of the money Atletico spent on the Snail, Wu Pan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My dear, you have found me a big target." ”

"It's not that mobile games are very profitable, and they have a monthly turnover of tens of millions at every turn. You've sold all your knots to make money, and wouldn't it be a big loss if you couldn't earn a Snail?"

"Dear, you also said that it was running water," although Wu Pan is a newcomer in the mobile game circle, he also knows something about these open secrets.

"The flow is talking about the total income before the account split, but this money has to be shared with the channel, with the game guild, with the deduction of operating costs, and with taxes, the actual income is far less than said. What's more, many companies are falsely reporting turnover and self-recharge. ”

Qi Linlin could still understand it before, but she couldn't understand it when she heard that she wanted to share the money with the guild, "Why does the game company want to divide the money with the game guild, what's the matter with them?"

"They have users on their hands," Wu Pan said with a wry smile, "The game has just been launched, and it is not popular, so it is necessary to cooperate with the Grand Guild to attract ordinary players to settle in." Since you cooperate with others, you can't let people bring their own dry food, the channel and the developer have to give the guild benefits to win them over, the channel gives the guild rebates, and the developer recharges the guild itself. ”

"So you just give up the domestic market, don't you have this abroad?"

"Yes, these techniques have no technical threshold at all, and it is easy to learn from each other," Wu Pan said: "It can only be said that the interests of foreign players are relatively scattered, unlike domestic games that are gathered on online games.

"Yes, Pineapple Three. ”

"Diablo III has actually become an online game, and the auction house has long been closed, and when the national server is launched, there is no version of the auction house. ”

"Oh, I'm alone. By the way, haven't you given up playing a long time ago, why do you still care about this?"

"I didn't have time to play AFK because I was busy with work, and I usually take a look at it when I see relevant news. You reminded me that when you say this, you'll play for a few days on the next national server client when you go back, and no matter how you say that the pig factory can still take credit for introducing the game, you can't let them go further and further on the wrong road of mobile games. Linlin, come along!"

When the invitation was received, the latter shook his head, "Have you seen me play this kind of game? It's so oppressive and dark that I don't like it." ”

"The national uniform is not so bloody, it has been harmonious. ”

"Forget it, I think those kimchi games with beautiful scenery and beautiful skills are more suitable for me. ”

"Hey, if you pay attention to the art style, you will miss out on a lot of good games!" Wu Pan said disappointed when the sermon failed.
