After thinking about it for a while at home, Lin Yan also felt that he had rested enough, so he picked up a bag of gifts and decided to send it to Mayu by the river.

In fact, not many people know about Lin Yan's trip to the United States. However, it is one thing for others to know about it, and it is another thing for him to prepare gifts for them.

Although, in the past, Lin Yan felt that it was useless for this kind of behavior of going out to travel and bringing local products back to give away.

However, now that he thinks about it, perhaps it is precisely because of his completely unsophisticated behavior that he has always been just a small soldier.

In fact, in the industry of making video games in China, there are not many people who are generally over the age of 35 and are still struggling on the front line.

There are many reasons for this result, one of which is that I am too tired. Although it's basically a carrying game, however, the carrying game is also a manual job.

Lin Yan's former colleagues often laugh and say that they are migrant workers in the game industry, and they are the objects of oppression and exploitation. If it were possible, they would even be tempted to unite with their brothers - the front.

For the most part, of course, everyone is just joking. At least, in old eyes. They sit in the office, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, there is air conditioning in the summer, and there is an air-conditioned working environment in the winter. How can it be considered hardship?

Even, many laymen still think that they are being hypocritical. And he said, Ah, this man, he is not satisfied. With a good working environment, I always feel dissatisfied, feel terrible, and want a better working environment.

Lin Yan is hard-working. He did all the work that was given to him. In his spare time, he is still absorbing all kinds of new game materials. But. This also did not make him "promoted", because almost all of them. It's all doing this.

It's not that you can't pursue progress, but if you don't read books and get in touch with new materials, you may not even be able to keep your current job.

In addition, the game industry is actually similar to gambling. No one will know what the game's fate will be until it is released, and if it fails, it is not uncommon for the company to dissolve.

Lin Yan was thinking when he was walking on the way to Mayou's house by the river. If you are reborn at the beginning of the twenty-first century. What will be the difference from now.

At that time, home console games, and arcade games, had already begun to decline. At that time, with the popularity of personal computers, computer games were booming.

If he was reborn in China at that time, would he decide to go to South Korea single-handedly to negotiate the agency of "Legend", and then in the rising Chinese Internet industry. Build a legend of your own.

Shanda, who really got the agency of "Legend" in history, is undoubtedly the most popular Chinese Internet giant in the first decade of the new century.

Sometimes, Lin Yan is also thinking. If Chen Tianjiao's decision-making at that time was more ambitious, and did not run Shanda into a family business, let him really know how to manage. People who understand technology come to run the company.

The grand conference will not continue to be the boss of China's Internet companies.

You know, in those days. The goose factory has just relied on a variety of diamonds, and the goose factory show. There are also small continuous payments such as members to achieve break-even.

Baidu has not evolved into a big rogue yet, and it has not found a good profit channel.

Shanda has established a point card channel covering the whole of China through an Internet café, a company with an annual revenue of more than 2 billion yuan.

Even, when the mobile Internet was on the rise later. Shanda Innovation Park can also give birth to a non-master key, such a bit of a rogue mobile phone software.

The year-end bonus for employees of this software is one Tesla electric car per person.

Later, the employees who worked in Shanda also covered the entire online game industry.

It was said that such a company could not reach the pinnacle of the Internet, and perhaps no one believed it at that time.

If we talk about the grand decision at that time, it cannot be said that it is wrong. At least, now the goose factory is still carrying out the original grand strategy.

The video site acquired Kuliu, the game has its own self-produced games, as well as agent games, and even online novels, through acquisitions, have become the first in the industry.

It seems that creating a pan-entertainment platform covering videos, games, and novels will be built soon. However, it did not succeed, it declined little by little, and failed little by little.

Because of management contradictions, the original management of Kuliu left, and later established a strange video network under Baidu, and later changed its name to Ai Wife Yi.

The game of the agent is also not as good as one. Talks with Blizzard Entertainment collapsed and lost the agency of "World of Warcraft". The only one left is still competitive, and it is still in the first place in the industry. It also lost its strategic significance because of the failure of the other two pillars.

Later, it went to the goose factory, which inherited the pan-entertainment strategy, and poached the founding team of the novel website, and then to the later anti-takeover.

In the whole process, if you look at the investment behavior, Chen Tianjiao has made money.

However, when the whole industry was developing, Shanda has been standing still, and in the end, it fell out of the team.

Later, it was the bear child who controlled the search engine, knew how to advance and retreat, build word-of-mouth, and cater to the public's preferences, relying on instant messaging software, and the Ahri family, which started with online shopping and began to involve financial services.

These three are three-legged.

Behind is Huang Yi, Xinlang, and other Internet companies. It's like, I can't see where Shanda is anymore.

Lin Yan was thinking that if he was reborn to two thousand years, he would follow the path that Chen Tianjiao had walked back then. Will it avoid Chen Tianjiao's mistakes and build a game-based Chinese Internet empire.

Now that I think about it, it seems quite interesting.

Lin Yan made a decision in his heart that if he could live for another 20 years, he must invest in a few Chinese Internet companies at the beginning of the 21st century.

However, now I have also walked to the house of Mayu by the river. He threw this mess of thoughts out of his mind and entered the shrine with a smile.

The gift he brought to Mayu by the river was different from other people's.

That day, while shopping in a small street shop in the United States, he saw a craft store. There is a crystal clear ceramic cup inside, which is very beautiful.

Lin Yan asked in the past and learned that this was bone china. As soon as the shopkeeper saw that he was a tourist, he began to explain his origins.

At the beginning, Chinese porcelain was very popular in Europe, it was very expensive, and there was reason to follow, so the locals imitated porcelain. Due to poor technology, the imitation was unsuccessful, and even the handle was metal.

And there is a person, when imitating porcelain, accidentally put the ashes of the neighbor's family into the clay, and finally it became bone china. (To be continued......)
