Episode 68: Zheng Xiyi's side hustle

Sitting in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, Zheng Xiyi silently looked at the night view of Seoul outside the window, and once again examined his plan for the future. The colorful lights that were dimmed by the Asian financial crisis in '98 are gradually flickering again, South Korea's economy is about to recover, and the prosperity of Seoul will climb to the top again. Even though the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2006 once again put the global economy in jeopardy, with the rise of the strong neighbor China market, South Korea's major consortia have fully entered the China market, so the economy has not suffered a serious setback. The Korean entertainment industry is also about to set sail with the economic recovery, especially after the Korean game industry gradually loses the Chinese market, Korean dramas and Korean stars are becoming more and more popular in China, and Lee so-man, who is still absconding from the United States in fear of crime, could not imagine that in another ten years, S.M's annual income will reach 161.3 billion won, and today's S.M total value is only 50 billion won.

Zheng Xiyi does not have the delusion of becoming a billionaire, he is a contented person, of course, the more money the better, but he clearly knows the limits of what he can control. With the experience of rebirth, at the age of fifteen, he took out all the salary he had saved five million US dollars, and pulled Shen Yuanhao, who was still Lin Xiyin's boyfriend at the time, to establish RELOADNetwork Technology Co., Ltd. The company's main direction is to develop and operate online games, and at the same time establish a web portal, the reason why it does not do social networks is because most of the computers in 2000 are still home computers, portable laptops are mostly commercial, wireless WIFI networks are just starting, only some independent manufacturers are trying, large network operators are still waiting and seeing, at this time to do social networks is simply suicidal.

Zheng Xiyi had been engaged in the game industry until he was thirty-five years old in his previous life, and basically grew up with the development of the Chinese game industry, and he gave Shen Yuanhao a lot of game ideas and website development suggestions before leaving it alone. He was not a technology developer in his previous life, and it was no fun to lead a group of technicians to make a game by himself, but it was a piece of cake to give Shen Yuanhao their ideas, and then try to play and put forward suggestions for improvement after the game was made. In 2001, the first online game "Elf World" of the company was launched for Christmas, this 2.5D game almost integrated the advantages of all the large-scale MMORPGs that Zheng Xiyi could think of, including the prop shop, dungeon mode, quest system, pet system, refining system, gem system, paper doll system, lottery system and so on. According to Zheng Xiyi's words, all the systems that can squeeze money have been done, and they will never stop if they don't squeeze out the player's wallet.

"Elf World" was an instant success in the United States, with monthly revenue exceeding $10 million after its launch, and $30 million three months later, and finally $300 million in 2002. In June 2002, RELOAD surprisingly rejected a huge agency contract with China's largest online game operator, but instead established a joint venture subsidiary with Tencent, which had just surpassed 100 million registrations, to operate "Elf World".

This time, Shen Yuanhao accompanied Lin Xiyin to South Korea, first, he was not at ease, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi, the two enemies were together, and no one was watching, God knows what would happen; Although "Elf World" is very popular, but after all, it was developed in 2000, both the user side and the server side were limited by the technology and hardware at that time, after more than three years, the game development technology and hardware have been greatly improved, RELOAD company must keep up with the technological trend to develop more advanced games.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiyi wants to implement so many systems in "Elf World", one is to let the development team be familiar with these systems and find out the problems in them, and explore how to play for future games, and the other is to use so many systems and prop malls to quickly empty the pockets of users, and accumulate a large amount of money in a short period of time to support the expenses required for long-term development. Although the lifespan of "Elf World" can last for three or four years through the Asian market, it can no longer go further, and Zheng Xiyi also needs RELOAD to build two more games, which Zheng hopes will have a life cycle of more than ten years and become real cash cows to support the huge expenses he may need in the future era of smart mobile devices.

The next day, Zheng Xiyi, who was sitting in the office of the president of RELOAD's Korean branch, told Shen Yuanhao in detail the background story of the next game: this large-scale MMORPG, named "Multiverse" by Zheng Xiyi, will have three camps: Science and Technology Alliance, Magic Council, and Xianxia Dragon Court, the three parties are in a multiverse space, and players first need to choose the camp they belong to. At first, neither side can touch the universe of the other two parties, and after entering the game, players continue to upgrade and explore through missions, constantly looking for new universes to obtain resources and technology. As the resources and skills of each faction improve, they will eventually come into contact with other factions, and the game will enter a new stage, faction warfare. The universes in the Multiverse may be infinite, but the resources of each universe will only be biased towards one faction, so only by obtaining more universes suitable for your own faction, and at the same time seizing and controlling more universes of the other two factions, can you ensure the advantage of your own faction. Perhaps, one day one or even two camps will be defeated, but in fact, this is only the beginning......

After listening to Zheng Xiyi's introduction, Shen Yuanhao stared at Zheng Xiyi for more than ten seconds, "You tell me first, in the end, the so-called is just a beginning, is there still a deeper pit waiting for us to jump?"

Zheng Xiyi didn't expect Shen Yuanhao to think of this, "Ah, brother-in-law, are you paying attention to the key points? The last sentence is just my habit of pretending to be forced, hehe, don't think too much, don't think too much." What do you think of the game's background?"

"Don't worry about it, you've played this trick when Elven World was in development. At first, we thought that you were just going to let the two camps of the dark elves and the light elves keep fighting and it would be over, but the version plan you gave at the end of last year actually wanted the demon king to destroy the world, and then the light and dark elf alliance would crusade against the demon king together, do you know how many things we have to change if the two camps that have always been hostile become alliances? No wonder we insisted that we put the demon king into a separate camp, and lied to us that this was for some major anniversaries to summon the demon king to attack the city, and the result was that the demon king was destroyed. If you hadn't been hiding in Huaxia and South Korea, ELLA would have already dismantled you!" Shen Yuanhao is such a person as Sven is already hideous.

"HAHA, HAHA, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE, SISTER ELLA IS SO BEAUTIFUL, SO GENTLE, HOW CAN SHE USE SUCH BLOODY AND VIOLENT MEANS TO ...... ME" ZHENG XIYI IMAGINED THE SCENE OF A BLONDE GIRL HOLDING A DECAPITATING SWORD IN THE GAME AND CUTTING HERSELF INTO EIGHTEEN SECTIONS, FORGET IT, STILL DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S TERRIBLE.

"If you don't tell me all the follow-up to the Multiverse that you have in mind right now, I'll ask the secretary to book a plane ticket for ELLA right now, so that she can come to Korea to talk to you in person. Shen Yuanhao stood up and was about to open the door.

"Brother-in-law!brother-in-law!I say!I say!" Zheng Xiyi rushed over and grabbed Shen Yuanhao, "The reason why I don't say it now is because I haven't figured out what the trigger conditions for the next big event will be, whether one side of the camp is at an absolute disadvantage, or wait until it is completely defeated before starting, I want to discuss it when there is really such a possibility, because it is possible that the three camps will always remain in a balanced range." ”

"I don't know if the player camp will be balanced forever, but I know you definitely won't let it be balanced! If you don't say that I'm really ......" Shen Yuanhao ruthlessly exposed the conspiracy hidden in Zheng Xiyi's heart.

"I said!" Zheng Xiyi reluctantly raised his hand in surrender, "Brother-in-law, you can learn something from my sister, how can you learn all my sister's ability to bully me!"

Shen Yuanhao stopped talking and stood up, Zheng Xiyi hurriedly stretched out his hand, "STOP! If there is such a day, the multiverse will begin to collapse, no longer produce new universes and begin to slowly destroy itself, one universe after another will collapse itself, and the self-collapsed universe will produce a new destruction camp, the void land." Only the three factions can balance each other to stop the collapse, and only the three factions can attack together to defeat the Void, however, the players of the three factions can also be tempted by the Void to transform into the Void Walker, and if the Void Walker defeats the players of the three factions, then the Multiverse will completely collapse, GAMEOVER. ”

Shen Yuanhao simply wanted Lin Xiyin to come over and beat this kid, this kid actually made a big MMORPG GAMEOVER, he silently picked up his mobile phone and prepared to dial Lin Xiyin.

Zheng Xiyi stretched out his head to take a look, and was so frightened that he hurriedly snatched his mobile phone, "Brother-in-law, don't think about it!"

SHEN YUANHAO GAVE HIM A HUFF, "I CAN'T OPEN IT, I CAN'T OPEN IT OR DO YOU WANT TO OPEN IT? ARE YOU ADDICTED TO DEATH? BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOUR SISTER WILL GAMEOVER YOU TODAY!"

Zheng Xiyi shrank his neck, "I haven't finished yet......"

"HOW CAN YOU PLAY WHEN YOU'RE ALL GAMEOVER!" SHEN YUANHAO WAS REALLY TORMENTED BY THIS BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND SURE ENOUGH, THE WIFE OF THE BROTHER-IN-LAW COULDN'T ...... Forget it, this thought can't be raised, and it's life-threatening.

"A piece of nothingness is chaos, and the void walkers will also return to chaos, and then with a bang, the heavens and the earth will be reopened, and everything will return to the beginning. Brother-in-law, I have a great idea, isn't it?" Zheng Xiyi smirked, he had been thinking about this story alone for a long time, and it was so cool to finally be able to say it today.

Shen Yuanhao gave him a perfunctory thumbs up, "Okay, you're the best, leave the plan and you can go, I don't want to see you more for a second." ”

"Brother-in-law, why don't you leave me for lunch, I worked so hard for several months to write this plan, it was just a joke just now, you don't have to be so stingy, right?" Zheng Xiyi deliberately went out near noon, just to improve the food for lunch, who knew that Shen Yuanhao actually drove him away.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to have a lunch, I'm thinking about your life. Shen Yuanhao looked at Zheng Xiyi angrily.

"What kind of life-threatening can you have a lunch meal, brother-in-law, if you don't want to invite me, just say it, don't fool me. Zheng Xiyi also looked at Shen Yuanhao angrily.

"I'll see, it's twelve twenty-eight, and your sister will arrive in two minutes, she asked me to have lunch, if you want to be together." Shen Yuanhao didn't bother to be angry with him, and stood up to pack up his things as he spoke.

"Ah!!Brother-in-law, I'm leaving!Don't tell my sister what happened just now!" Zheng Xiyi rushed out of the office like a wind, didn't even dare to take the elevator, and rushed into the stairwell from the emergency exit......
