Chapter 340: Five Minutes of Acquisition

On the morning of the 10th, Zhang Bin went to the Weibo Division and discussed with Dai Zhikang the issue of creating a new game section again.

The development of Weibo, Zhang Bin wants to use it as a comprehensive online leisure platform, that is, you can chat, send messages, watch news, listen to music, watch videos, read novels, and even play games.

However, the development of Weibo cannot go against the original intention of the beginning, and if a large number of functions are launched at one time, it is easy to put the cart before the horse.

Therefore, after some discussion by everyone, the first version of Weibo only launched three sections, that is, in addition to popular Weibo and other common sections, only the music section and video section were added.

Wait until the number of registered users on Weibo reaches a certain number and the average daily active users come up, and then consider adding the following sections.

"If you want to add new game projects, it will be a big test for the server," Dai Zhikang said.

In fact, in the current budget of the microblog division, there is a considerable proportion of the microblog server construction, in order to ensure that users can have a smooth browsing experience, the server must be a problem that cannot be ignored.

And if you run the game, the cost input on the server side is at least three to four times what it is today.

Even, if there are many games in the agency, they must have a fairly large place to use as the company's logistics room, and at that time, the number of servers alone may be calculated in tens of thousands.

The addition of the game section is not only a pressure on the server's memory, but also a lot of pressure on the operation staff.

And this is not something that can be changed in the short term, at least not until the second half of the year.

"There's no rush for this, just complete the public beta of the current version first, and the rest can be done step by step, but the addition of servers can be ahead of the curve," Zhang Bin said.

"Who's in charge of the backend server?" Zhang Bin asked.

"It's from the logistics management department," Dai Zhikang said.

"Then let them contact Huawei and see if they can form a long-term cooperation and buy a batch of servers for later use," Zhang said.

Zhang Bin is very optimistic about the development of games, and Weibo will become a very important platform for him, including the PC side in the future, which will be the key direction of Zhang Bin's development.

"Xiaoyang, I'll give you a task", Zhang Bin suddenly said to Qian Xiaoyang.

"What?" Zhang Bin said.

"Together with Director Kuang, you're going to help me acquire a company," Mr. Zhang said.

Kuang Jing glanced at each other, and when he bought a company, Zhang Bin said it so casually, and it was so ordinary.

"Which company?" Qian Xiaoyang asked.

"Five minutes", Zhang Bin said, "I know you are very busy now, so the price can be a little higher, first ask a professional company to valuate, you can increase it appropriately, in short, in the shortest possible time to complete the acquisition."

Five Minutes is a domestic leisure and entertainment game development company, which is not well-known in China at this time, and there will be no big problem with acquisition.

If it weren't for Happy Farm, such a company wouldn't have been known at all.

And it seems that the company will be disbanded in a few years, and Zhang Bin doesn't know the specific reason.

Zhang Bin thought of acquiring Five Minutes Games, of course, not on a whim, but "Happy Farm".

Thinking of Tencent, Zhang Bin suddenly thought of a social network game that was once popular all over the streets and alleys represented by Tencent, which was "Happy Farm".

There aren't many casual games that can be mastered, but Happy Farm is definitely one.

There was a certain period of time, almost everyone around Zhang Bin was playing this game, how much did you steal today, what did you plant today, it was simply going deep into the grassroots people.

Zhang Bin remembers that the publisher of this game is the game production company Five Minutes, and Five Minutes is the name of this company.

As for the origin of Five Minutes, it is actually because of the rise of casual games.

In recent years, with the successful operation of casual online games such as "Bubble Hall" and "Band" in China, people have begun to believe that casual online games are about to represent the future of online games, and for such games, Shanda uses the concept of "five minutes" to encompass.

That is, this game does not require you to spend too much time, you only need to take a few minutes out of your work and fatigue to play a small game, which is harmless and can also achieve physical and mental pleasure.

As a result, the five-minute game production company was born in this atmosphere.

Zhang Bin now happens to have several game ideas, and is also anxious to develop them, the game development division is now empty, in fact, there is a lack of relevant game developers, just right, five minutes game company can make up for this shortcoming.

On the afternoon of the 11th, Zhang Bin went to the general association, met Kong Minghui, and talked about the construction of the drug research branch.

"Don't worry, it will be completed in March, and then you will go to the topping out ceremony," Zhang said.

"Don't worry, the snow disaster some time ago has affected the progress of the project, I heard that you asked everyone to hurry up", Kong Minghui smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry, you seem to be very eager to find a project to be completed as soon as possible?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled: "Why aren't you in a hurry? The sooner this kind of institution is completed, the sooner it can serve us."

"But there's no need to rush for a month or two," Kong said.

Zhang Bin shut up and stopped talking, there are some things that he is doing too anxiously, and it is already a little suspicious.

But you can't stop doing it because of this, Zhang Bin still said that, a little doubt can't stop him.

"Director Kong, do you think I will get any benefit from this?" Zhang Bin looked at Kong Minghui and asked seriously.

Kong Minghui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I still believe in your character, this is absolutely impossible."

"Isn't that okay, I won't do anything to be sorry always, sorry for other people, hurry up and be wrong?" Zhang Bin said.

Kong Minghui laughed twice and said, "I just have some doubts, you don't have to worry."

The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Bin tasted the tea brewed by Kong Minghui.

"Huh? Changed the tea? "It's not the first time Zhang Bin has come here, he is an acquaintance, in the past, Kong Minghui's tea here was relatively light, but this time it was very bitter.

"When people are old, their mouths are tasteless, and they need to drink some bitterness," Kong Minghui said with a smile.

Zhang Bin was speechless, what kind of logic is this, if you are tasteless, eat something heavy.

"Sichuan and Hunan cuisine have a strong taste, you can try them," Zhang Bin suggested.

"Which of the two do you prefer?" Kong Minghui looked at Zhang Bin with a smile on his face.

Zhang Bin took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth, and said: "It's all spicy, but I also like numb, spicy and refreshing, didn't you say that your mouth is tasteless?" Capers are more suitable for you."

(The last sentence can be understood if you know the characteristics of the two cuisines)
