Chapter 203: Success and Failure
Wang Haoran said: "The first thing is to expand the server, the existing server is definitely not enough, as for how many groups of servers need to be added, you can discuss this with Lu Jing." ”
Xu Mingwen said: "This is not necessary, right? I asked Lu Jing that our "Campus Farm" does not have high requirements for servers, and the existing server carrying capacity is more than enough. ”
Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "The purpose of expanding the server is not only to serve the game, but also to prepare for the opening of the campus network. ”
Xu Mingwen said: "So fast, have you thought about it?"
Wang Haoran nodded confidently, "I think about it, with the launch of "QQ Farm", the campus network registration will be completely opened, and everyone can register for the campus network." ”
The campus network is not a social networking site pioneered by Wang Haoran, it is purely borrowed from the creativity of the previous life, and there are two websites that are impressive, one in China and one abroad.
The name of the website in China is called the school intranet, and the name of the campus network is Wang Haoran's reference to the school intranet.
At the same time, there is also a social networking site in the United States that was built more than a year earlier than the school intranet, but its name is known to everyone, it is Facebook, which is recognized by many people as the "Internet social miracle".
But these two websites are almost carved out of one mold, one has disappeared silently from the Internet, and the other has become the world's largest social platform.
As for why the ending of the two websites is so different, many netizens have discussed it online in the previous life.
There is a "beast" saying that the national conditions are different, and then a bunch of specious theories are blown out of the sky.
There are conspiracy theorists who say that it is the school intranet that offends whoever is who.
Some peers said that the internal system of the school intranet was unreasonable, which led to the loss of talent in the company.
Some people say that the high-level ability of the school intranet is not good.
Some people say how and how......
All in all, there's everything to say.
Wang Haoran has also participated in this topic before, and some views will only make people laugh, and some views Wang Haoran also agrees, but Wang Haoran believes that the fundamental reason for the completely different endings of the two is that the school intranet does not understand what a social networking site is.
A social networking site that was founded in early 2005 and was not opened to everyone until the end of 2009, and the main reason for the failure of the campus network was the self-isolation within five years.
Social networking, a website that does not face everyone, can it still be called a social networking site?
Even Facebook was only created and borrowed from the college student community as the cornerstone of its development, and in less than two years, it was open to everyone in the world.
Because the founders of Facebook deeply understand what a social networking site is, and know why users choose their own website.
Everyone has more or less social attributes, which is the fundamental existence of social networking sites, and no one wants to meet more people and be known by more people.
It's very simple, you're an actor, you want everyone to know that you've recently made a new film, do you choose a website that only college students can access, or a social platform with a world of physiognomy?
Also, if you are a college student and have been using the intranet all along, but a few years later, you have graduated from college and joined the work, but your colleagues and friends around you are using other social networking sites, do you choose to continue to use the intranet or register for the social networking site that can communicate with your colleagues?
For example, if you are the owner of a company that needs to advertise a new home appliance, would you rather spend money to promote it on a website that only has college students, or would you rather choose a social networking site with a user base that includes most housewives?
This is a self-evident truth, but the intranet of the same attribute as Facebook does not understand this truth at all, and has been self-contained in a small circle, the fewer users, the less valuable the ads, and eventually to extinction.
And some other seemingly reasonable reasons, in fact, are secondary reasons brought about by the school's intranet, if the school's timely adjustment strategy, whether it can compete with Facebook is hard to say, but whether there will be a later Weibo is really not necessarily.
Wang Haoran saw this very thoroughly, and carefully thought about how to avoid making the same mistake at the beginning of the establishment of the campus network, which is why after more than a year of the campus network has just gained a firm foothold in the college student community, Wang Haoran is ready to open the campus network.
"Campus Farm" is a sharp weapon offered by the campus network, Wang Haoran didn't expect to make much money from such a casual game, what he really cared about was relying on "QQ Farm" to pull all players into the campus network.
Xu Mingwen thought about it, there is no choice, the idea of opening up the campus network Wang Haoran has discussed with Xu Mingwen many times before, Xu Mingwen himself also agrees with Wang Haoran's point of view, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, calm for a moment, and said: "Then it seems that the server must be expanded, originally I thought that "Campus Farm" was only open to existing campus network users, so I felt that with the ability of our existing server, I would definitely be able to deal with it, and now it seems that I want to fork it." ”
Wang Haoran said: "It's okay, isn't there still a week to go, it's enough, and what is the current version of "Campus Farm"?"
Xu Mingwen said: "The current version is 1.5, the 1.6 version is not perfect, the technical department is developing the fish pond you said, and there are four official versions before." ”
Wang Haoran said: "Then just use the first official version for this launch." ”
Xu Mingwen asked, "Why?"
This reason is very simple,No matter how popular the game is, it has a lifespan,Players will naturally feel bored after playing for a long time,All game companies will update from time to time,Launch more content and gameplay,If you release the final version at once,What will you do in the future?
And there is a very important reason, "Campus Farm" is a casual game, it is too simple to imitate, and a few technicians can work hard for half a month, so it is conceivable that as long as "Campus Farm" becomes popular, it will be followed by various copycat games.
If you don't take out the latest version now, it's just to deal with those plagiarized game companies.
When the time comes, you will release my current "Campus Farm" copycat, and I will immediately release the next new version with more and more fun functions, and when you hurriedly follow the trend and imitate it, I have more and more interesting new versions, and users naturally know how to choose.
Hearing Wang Haoran say this, Xu Mingwen suddenly opened his mouth, and sighed with admiration: "No wonder you can be the boss, with your mind, it's a waste not to start a business." ”
Can I tell you that this is all the truth that I realized from being addicted to games in my previous life, Wang Haoran thought to himself.
Time was pressing, and after Wang Haoran, the shopkeeper who shook his hands, and Xu Mingwen confessed, he patted his ass and returned to school.
I have a cold and a headache for a day, and all dear readers should also pay attention to keeping warm!
