"Well, how did it end like this?" Alice saw that Severn had already retired from the stage, and her eyes were full of regret.

"Yes, I'd love to have the Earl stay with us a little longer. A girl next to her heard it and echoed Alice.

"Actually, Lord Earl is already very good, the meeting has been held for three hours, and looking at this scale is comparable to a small concert, in the UK, how many stars can do this?" A brown-haired girl said.

"Yes. Alice smacked her little mouth in approval, "By the way, Anna, Becky, are you going back to that Happy Farm?"

The two girls who talk to Alice are TEG administrators, named Anna and Becky.

Although Alice is only ten years old, everyone is a fan of Severn, Anna and Betsy did not show impatience because of Alice's young age, not to mention Alice's mother, Aurora, who was still watching from the side.

Hearing Alice's question, Anna and Betsy said excitedly: "Of course I have to go back to play, maybe I can meet Lord Earl in the game." ”

There were many fans who shared the same idea as Anna and Becky, and they were all looking forward to meeting their idols in the game.

……

The British press was fast, and as soon as Severn's fan meeting in the morning ended, the afternoon news report came out.

"Severn Butler personally greets the fans"

"A three-hour 'concert'"

"Happy Farm, a game that Severn has sunk into"

"Severn denies the scandal"

"Severn's New Book"

“……”

These words filled the report, attracting the attention of the British people, and naturally, they even learned about Happy Farm.

After reading the news in the newspaper, many British people can't help but go home, sit in front of their computers, open the Facebook app, and as soon as they open the software, they find an advertising banner hanging on the homepage.

The background of the advertising banner is an animated farm, with a small wooden house and a dog on the edge of the farm, and in the middle of the farm, there is a wooden sign that reads "Happy Farm", which is particularly eye-catching.

Many users can't help but be curious and click in, which is like opening a Pandora's box, and they sink ~ down, especially when they find out that they can steal other people's food, they are even more excited.

But when they found that they had a pitiful number of friends, they wanted to throw away their mouse.

Pull people.

Must pull people!

Soon, Facebook's user base was surging again.

Thirty thousand

Half a million

Million

One million two hundred and thirty thousand

……

In just one day on May 1, Facebook's number of users increased by another 230,000 to 1.23 million.

……

When Alice, Anna, and Betsy returned home from Trafalgar Square, they couldn't wait to turn on their computers and send the news that Severn had recommended a game to TEG.

Most of the fans in TEG are Facebook users, and when they heard that a new game appeared on Facebook, and Severn was also playing it, they went to try it out, and this time, they once again brought 90,000 users to Facebook.

……

"Shit, Anna, this little ~bitch~ son, actually dares to steal my food!" Alice said as she sat in front of the computer and gritted her teeth.

It was late at night, but Alice was still in front of the computer, waiting for her seeds to ripen and harvest, but in the blink of an eye, her food was stolen by Anna.

"No, I have to steal it back!" Alice clenched her fists and said hatefully, but the sound was too loud to wake Aurora.

"Alice, it's so late, you haven't slept yet, what are you doing?" Aurora looked at the bright light in Alice's room.

"Oh, Mom, it's okay, I'll get up and go to the bathroom. Alice hurriedly lied.

"Be careful to go to bed early. Aurora did not doubt him, and returned to her room with her tired body, and fell into a deep sleep.

After hearing a "bang~" closing the door, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes were on the computer again, staring closely at her friend's soon-to-mature seed.

……

There are not a few Facebook users with Alice's mentality, they have worked hard to cultivate the seeds for half a day, just waiting for the harvest, but they are stolen by others in the blink of an eye, and whoever is replaced is in a bad mood.

And Happy Farm is also an upgrade game, relying on experience to level up, relying on gold coins to open up land.

If your food is stolen, it means that you have less experience and gold, and you will thwart your development plan. People have a comparison mentality, seeing that other people's level is higher than their own, they are naturally unhappy, and then they want to catch up, and then they have been addicted to the happy farm, unable to extricate themselves.

……

Severn returned to the company after the fan meeting and kept an eye on Facebook.

Knock knock~

In the early hours of May 2, George excitedly knocked on the door of Severn's office.

"Come in. ”

Severn looked away from his computer and looked up.

Looking at Severn's computer desktop, he was also having fun on the farm.

"Boss, it's 1.5 million, the number of Facebook users has reached 1.5 million! The number of players on Happy Farm has also reached 1.45 million!"

George almost shuddered to say the number, think, how many people is there in the UK?

58,789,194!(2001 UK population)

How many netizens are there?

I don't know.

But obviously not too much, because the Internet is not yet developed, but Facebook has reached 1.5 million users, and this 1.5 million can be said to account for a considerable part of the British Internet users.

Now, to put it bluntly, Facebook is already one of the UK's largest Internet companies.

George didn't expect that just a small game would add half a million users to Facebook, so it's no wonder Severn wanted to develop the game.

At this moment, George had to admire Severn's vision for the market.

And Severn was not very excited when he heard the news, he had long known that Happy Farm would be on fire, and this number was not very satisfactory to Severn, thinking about China in the future, there were tens of millions of players at every turn, this number is really not enough.

However, Severn also knows that it is very commendable for Happy Farm to achieve this achievement, first, the population base of the UK is too small, and second, the number of netizens bred on the population base is also pitiful.

So Severn stood up, walked up to George, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Well done. ”

"Thank you owner for the compliment. George replied, "But it's all down to you, boss, and we're just in charge of developing the game." George didn't dare to take credit, and he was embarrassed to take credit, he was not optimistic about Happy Farm at the beginning.

Hearing this, Severn smiled lightly, "Without you, no matter how good my plan is, it won't help, you don't have to be modest." ”

"Oh yes, what about Abt?" Severn asked curiously, it stands to reason that he should have come in with George to report on his work.

Hearing Severn ask, George said with a strange expression: "Abt, he seems to be a little embarrassed to come to see you, the boss, he said that he almost ruined a good project of the company." ”

Abt's opposition was fierce at first, but it was only because of Severn's boss authority that he finally compromised, and now he is naturally a little embarrassed to see that Happy Farm has brought so many users to Facebook.

"A big man, are you still embarrassed? Let's go, you can come with me to find him. Severn shook his head and smiled.

He doesn't blame Abt, it's all for the development of the company, and he should naturally be cautious about an uncertain new product.
