Chapter 36: Jiang Yibing
There are many people in this world who are running for their dreams. Jiang Yibing is such a person, as a college student, in her senior year, she got a place in the insurance research institute. When other students were still working hard to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, she had already settled in the next three years.
The friends around him were all busy studying, and Jiang Yibing himself didn't like to go out to hang out, so he searched around the Internet and found a bunch of animation tutorials to start looking.
In this era, China's Internet is not a super-large LAN with more than one billion people, and the Great Wall of the Internet is still under construction, so you can easily log in to foreign video websites without using the Internet scientifically.
On foreign video sites, there are many tutorials related to making animations. Although, at the beginning, Jiang Yibing looked a little tired, but with the English skills and learning ability she has cultivated over the years, it didn't take long for her to understand most of the teaching videos relatively easily.
After a lot of planned learning and connections, her level can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. Soon, three years of graduate school have passed, and she has been teaching animation on her own for more than three years, nearly four years.
In the process, she participated in many Chinese animation competitions. However, since the judges of the competition were professors from some universities, and their students also participated, and then, for some indescribable reasons, her work never won first place, only a large number of second places, and various consolation prizes.
She is actually more desperate for this situation. So, in a fit of rage, she applied to several universities in the United States.
She applied to a total of five colleges, got offers from four universities, and finally chose the latter between Ohio Public University and the School of Visual Arts in New York, because the latter gave her a full scholarship and the former gave half of the scholarship.
Of course, she didn't choose a school on the West Coast because she was afraid of earthquakes. After all, the West Coast is basically located in the Pacific Seismic Zone.
After graduating, she submitted several resumes, and the first company she entered was the famous animation company Pigos, which was founded by Steve Jobs, the founder of Fruit, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a leader in the field of animation.
However, she was forced to leave after working here for less than a year. It's not that she doesn't do a good job, but because that's the style of Pigos, DreamWorks. When it takes a lot of manpower to create a new animation, hire people quickly, and cut them off as soon as the demand period is over, in order to save costs.
After all, everyone runs a company under capitalism, and no one runs a charity, all to make money.
In this way, Jiang Yibing's next step was Disney, which is a very traditional enterprise compared to DreamWorks and Pigos.
After all, as a century-old store, it has accumulated a lot of valuable wealth, such as a series of animated characters represented by Mickey Mouse Donald Duck, but there are also many accumulated faults.
For example, the entire management structure of Disney is too three-dimensional, and there are too many management levels, which leads to inconvenient communication between the upper and lower levels, which affects efficiency to a certain extent, as well as the space for low-level employees to exert their creativity.
To put it simply, when you come to Disney, in addition to the airborne management post, you basically have to be prepared to be a low-level screw.
And it is a long-term bottom screw, because such a life span of hundreds of years of an enterprise, someone should occupy the position, and people have long stood on it.
Unless it is particularly strong, or the relationship is particularly strong, otherwise don't want to appreciate quickly in such a company.
This "fast" needs to be put in quotation marks, because ten years is already considered fast.
In this way, in fact, in such a large company, if you want to get ahead, you actually have a feeling that your daughter-in-law has become her in-laws.
Jiang Yibing has been working here for a total of half a year, and she can't work anymore, why, the reason is very simple, because her work visa has expired.
As a century-old store, Disney must have more complete rules and regulations than other companies. As a result, it is sometimes not so approachable.
Jiang Yibing, who came out of Disney, actually has a very bright historical record on his personal resume. With such conditions, it is actually not too difficult for her to find a job.
However, she is not satisfied, people, after all, she has to pursue something, right?
If she hadn't pursued it, she might not have taught herself animation at all, and she wouldn't have come to the United States to study at all. Although her current income level can be described as not low. However, she finished her graduate school in China safely and steadily, and she also has a lot to do.
You must know that this era is not an era when college students are inferior to dogs and graduate students are everywhere. Although it is not as popular as in previous years, it is still a scarce creature.
Just like the rare monsters in the game, the rare monsters in the early game can be compared to the rare monsters in the later game. Let's put it this way, at the beginning of a game, it is difficult to play a blue equipment, and it is already a blessing to play a purple equipment. However, in the later stages of the game, not to mention the purple rare equipment, even the pink artifacts are all given away.
In fact, it's a process in which the economic system in the game expands. Because with the accumulation of time, there will inevitably be more and more rare equipment, and in order to make money, game manufacturers can only invest in better rewards to lure players to recharge, which actually accelerates the expansion of the entire game economic system.
For example, in Chiba Games, a game like Dungeons & Warriors, which was born out of fighting games and arcade games, there is even a dedicated economic architect who is responsible for how to balance the economic system within the game. And, how can players spend with confidence.
For example, the Blazing Star Box is the work of economic architects. This gadget, although not expensive, has opened the door to a new world for Dungeons & Warriors players.
You know, in the past, unless it was a game that purchased time for point cards, the so-called free game, the recharge ratio was very low. Being able to reach 100 to 1, 50 to 1 is already a very ecstatic number.
However, Dungeons & Warriors has reached an astonishing 10-to-1 level. Coupled with the fact that this game has a huge player base in East and Southeast Asia, in fact, the revenue generated by this game even exceeds that of Chiba Games' own first-party top titles.
This is very shocking, you must know that although the previous World of Warcraft was also played by many people, many people discussed. However, both those who play and those who don't believe that its success is inevitable.
After all, in terms of graphics, gameplay, and from all angles, this game is very good and undoubted.
And "Dungeons & Warriors" is a game that makes people question too much. Whether it's its design ideas, or its graphics, or its kind of urine that wants to kill money.
Of course, many video game companies follow the trend and denigrate it, not because they think the game is too bad. It's because they're jealous, after all, their peers are enemies. They sometimes think, why didn't we have this game, but even if they did, they wouldn't have been able to run it successfully.
The reason why Chiba Games has been able to operate these games successfully is not only because of their grasp of the psychology of players, but also because they have a very strong channel.
Chiba chat,This is the most popular free chat software now,No matter,Other online games,Is it a built-in friend system,Chat system,But in the end,These friendships,In the end, they will precipitate in Chiba chatγ
Because,Chiba chat is not attached to any game.,It's a separate existence.,It's also highly applicable.γ Otherwise, if you want to contact someone, and you don't have this game, why do you want the next game?
Actually, when it comes to Chiba chat, I have to mention the chat software of Fuji Xun.
Actually, at the time when Chiba Chat began to enter the Chinese market. In the Chinese market, there are already a lot of chat software.
These chat software can be said to be varied, and some of them are developed from online chat rooms. Some have developed from the gaming field.
However, there was a reason why the strongest at that time was the Fuji Xun chat. You must know that the network speed at that time was generally about one or twenty bytes, and it was generally one hundred and twenty-eight bytes, which was a long way from a fast network speed like one megabyte.
At that time, except for the Tengxun chat, the rest of the chat software basically cost one or two trillions, that is, it could take an hour or two to download it all.
This was unacceptable to Chinese netizens at the time. You know, in those days, not to mention whether there was a computer at home, it was the predecessor of the Internet bar, the computer room to access the Internet, and the computer that could access the Internet cost at least five yuan an hour.
If the computer room doesn't pre-download this software, it's not like you need dozens of dollars to download a game, that's too nonsense.
At that time, the rattan news chat, with a size of only two hundred and twenty bytes, only twenty minutes to play a good time, won the initial victory.
Of course, this victory is very preliminary, and the next thing is the crux of the matter.
At that time, almost all chat software basically saved data locally, that is, if you chat with a person, you can only see his chat history on this computer.
Get a new computer, and that's all gone. This is very difficult for the state of China's network. Because, at that time, only a small number of people could have computers.
And Tengxun chat took the lead in coming up with the friend saving function. No matter where you log in to the app, you can see the friends you have added before. You know, this is a very difficult innovation.
Because, at that time, China's Internet companies were generally poor. It's basically hard to add this kind of service that requires additional overhead.
Of course, one of the more black technologies is that several rattan news chat accounts verify each other, and then save them in a network structure.
This not only greatly reduces the server resources that need to be consumed, but also deletes some accounts that are not used. Because, except that the server will save the data of this account for one month at the beginning. The rest is basically all about verifying each other. This is also why many people find that they have registered a Tengxun chat number, and why they don't have it anymore. That's because, without adding friends, this number is, to some extent, equivalent to non-existent.
Of course, such technology is also difficult for Chinese companies to have. Otherwise, it would have been flying all over the sky a long time ago, and it would not have allowed Tengxun to seize this opportunity.
The rest, and very important, is how to stay online. If you know a little bit about chat software, you will understand that chat software is a thing that stays online by sending heartbeat packets.
Many chat software, if not used for a long time, will automatically go offline. Because, it saves more resources. Actually, Fuji Xun Chat does the same, but it's a little different.
That is, Tencent has very good programmers, and they can easily reduce the entire re-login process to a few tenths of a second.
That's a lot compared to other competitors who take a few seconds to get back into shape. Users are largely unaware of it, so they trust it more than any other chat app.
Of course, there are many things worth talking about, such as the founder of the company, the one surnamed Ma, the one who celebrates his birthday in the penguin group all day long, the one who gives Fuji Xun coins, and the little horse brother who is scolded by countless players all day long. In order to make the chat more lively, he also held a chat between girls and users to liven up the atmosphere.
In fact, if anyone uses "The Legend of Little Pony's Women's Clothing" as a title, they may write an excellent article.
However, although they are excellent, their skills and money are not top-notch after all. Although it is said that foreign companies often fail when they enter China, it is really different for Chiba Games.
Lin Yan actually knows more about China than Japan. Therefore, the operation plan he formulated can be said to be the lifeblood of China's Internet.
First of all, the software should be small. OK.
Lin Yan let those employees who are accustomed to writing programs with assembly give full play to their spare heat, so a chat software with a size of only more than 90 kilobytes appeared.
Second, the software should be stable. OK.
Lin Yan used a lot of money to set up several chat-specific servers in major cities in China. These servers are the best servers, and they have a strong ability to guarantee stability.
Third, popularity should be strong. OK.
Chiba games spend a lot of money to promote, on TV, in newspapers, on the radio, and then, first launched a group service.
In this way, the country is decided. (To be continued.) )
