Chapter 15: Just take a bite
That's a matter of philosophy. 14 years later, the number of users is everything. For example, there is a shopping website that has been losing money and has never made a profit, but as long as the number of users is rising, there is a steady stream of venture capital influx. Eventually, the shopping site was able to go public, and all the money it had lost was recovered overnight. Its boss also soaked away the goddess of Tsinghua under the watchful eyes of countless men......
In fact, even in this 2ooo year, the number of users is the most valuable, but most people have not found a way to monetize.
Wang didn't save money, so he was a little lazy, wandering around the Internet, wanting to see how the current reviews of "Frenzy" were.
On Villefort's official website, Frenzy has already reached 110,000 downloads. In the first three pages of the discussion board, there are only two or three posts about Counter-Strike, and the rest are all discussions about Tide.
What's even more striking is the official statement post of Villefort, saying that it has successfully acquired "Frenzy", and the official version release date is determined to be April 3o, with a price of $5O.
Many players wondered if the free O.5 version of Tide, in their opinion, was perfect. Even if something is added, it's not worth the extra $5o for it!
Representatives of such players made a prediction that the sales of "Tide" would suffer a huge failure, and Villefort would never recover.
But there are also die-hard players of Villefort, saying that Villefort's previous games are all above the standard, and this time they will not be eye-catching.
So this prophecy post has become the main battlefield of the debate between the two factions of players.
Wang Bufu went to the most professional game evaluation website in the United States, "Game Hotspot Network" to take a look. Unsurprisingly, the site is dedicated to a special feature on Frenzy.
In addition to objectively introducing the highlights of the O.5 version of "Frenzy", the core argument is that the $5O price for a self-made game is too high, and the sales are very worrying. Moreover, since the launch of "Team Fortress" last year, Villefort has not released any works until now, and can only buy games from a Chinese independent game maker.
In short, no one denies the highlights of Frenzy, however, most Americans don't want to believe that the game can still sell well even though it's available for free download.
Wang Buyi looked at it and smiled, and said in his heart that you are really too young, too simple, obviously there are still more than 4o days to sell, and you actually set up F1AG together so early. Don't you know that all the assertions made now are a slap in the face in the future?
But in the end, whether the sales of "Crazy Tide" in the United States are good or not has nothing to do with him, but more of a sense of honor. And, because Villefort wanted to launch a game as soon as possible to fill the gap that had not been released for a long time, Wang's time was short.
2ooo year, there are old ladies everywhere mysteriously pulling people and asking, "Do you want a plate?" "Once the official version of "Frenzy" is sold in the United States, pirated disks will immediately flood the Chinese market, affecting Wang's interests.
Everything has to be mentioned. Wang Buxin said that the security box must be launched as soon as possible, and it has a considerable installed capacity before the sale of "Frenzy". At that time, "Frenzy" will run simultaneously in China and the United States, and there should be more genuine players.
"Well, how many of you know the website?" Wang did not bear to ask the NTU foursome who were tapping on the keyboard next to him.
Time is of the essence, and we can't do it one thing at a time. At the same time as making the security box, open the official website of the distribution software to save time.
"My cousin will, he lives upstairs from my house. I used to open a small company that made websites, but I failed and owed a lot of debt. The man with glasses said.
"Well, I'll come over in the evening, and you can take me to him." Wang said.
"But he may not agree, since the failure of opening the company, he has not even come out of the house, the last time I saw him, I couldn't recognize him." The man with glasses hesitated.
"It's okay, I'll just go and see, no, I'm looking for someone else tomorrow." Wang said.
Soon Xia Ci was about to get out of school, and before Wang Buyi left, he found Sun Yifeng, the owner of the Internet café, and said: "Boss Sun, I use your five computers now, maybe I will add them in a few days, and it is not good to give money if I don't give money." ”
Sun Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he stayed up all night playing "Crazy Tide" and tossed, saying: "Great God, it's not interesting for you to be like this, you see that I am not satisfied with the computer here, and you use five computers without affecting your business." It doesn't matter if there are five, it doesn't matter if there are ten. ”
"That's not going to work. I'm going to set up a company recently, and if I rent an office, that's a lot of money, and I'm going to do it with you now. It's not a matter of a few computers. Wang said.
Sun Yifeng thought about it, so he didn't insist, "Then the great god looks at it, I don't have a word." ”
"I don't count how much I should pay. Well, I'll give you a share of the month when the Internet café is the most profitable. What do you think? "The king did not live up to the discussion.
"Okay then." Sun Yifeng thought about it again, "God, the rent of the office should be cheaper, or I will help you run around and find a cheap place?" ”
"The main thing is that the office has to be rented for half a year and a year, and the time is too long and inflexible." Wang said.
What he wants to set up is an Internet company, and the expansion of this kind of enterprise is not good, maybe ten years later, there will still be only ** people, maybe there will be thousands of employees in less than a year.
"If the great god thinks so, then I won't say anything. Are you free tonight, I invite you to dinner? I know there's a chicken pot at the door. Sun Yifeng said.
"Nope. I went home and cooked my own food. Wang said.
He wanted to go out to eat, so he couldn't bear to let Xia Ci eat at home alone. But I don't worry about those small restaurants, I don't eat anything, Xia Ci is delicate and soft, how can I stand it if I have a bad stomach? It's better to do it yourself.
Speaking of eating, Wang has been a picky eater in the past few days. This girl has lived alone for two years, and the dishes she doesn't want to eat must not have been overcome at all. That's not going to work.
So when Wang Buyi went to school to pick up Xia Ci, he walked on the road and put down the set: "Do you just eat steamed eggs today?" The nutrition is not enough, otherwise weigh half a catty of shredded meat and fry it with celery? ”
"No shredded meat! No celery! "Xia Ci doesn't do it. She decided that she wanted to get her face back to a skinny appearance, so she couldn't eat meat. And celery...... That's not good to eat at all!
"But your guardian wants to eat it!" The king did not live up to his pity.
Xia Ci hesitated. In the case of celery, let the guardian spirit eat it alone. It's just that if she buys shredded meat, then she will definitely not be able to bear to eat, and her face will not be able to become thin.
However, how could the eldest princess, the most benevolent princess of the supreme royal family, bear to ignore the request of the guardian spirit? So Xia Ci reluctantly agreed: "Okay then...... Buy less and eat your own. ”
Hey. Wang Buyi showed a sinister smile, and when the food is served on the table, it is up to you whether you eat it or not.
Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, Wang Bubo's fox tail could not be hidden. He smiled and took a bite of celery mixed with shredded meat, "Come, open your mouth, take a bite, maybe you'll like it?" ”
"Don't! It smells terrible. Xia Ci's face was pale, and he closed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly.
"Well, just take a bite. I won't force you after eating. The king did not live up to the persuasion.
Xia Ci was awkward for a while, and there was really no choice but to open his mouth with tears in his eyes, and resignedly let Wang Bufu stuff the dishes into it.
"How's it going, isn't it unpleasant?" Wang Bu smiled.
"It's unpalatable!" Xia Ci glared, "Obviously you are my guardian spirit, how can you bully your eldest princess like this!" ”
"Don't look at you not eating a mouthful of celery now, after ten or fifteen years, maybe you will drink raw celery juice every day to be beautiful!" Wang did not live up to the smile.
Xia Ci took two bites and swallowed the celery like a medicine, his face pale. Word by word, he said very seriously: "Wang Buhou, at that time, I must have been polluted by unspeakable evil. Don't hesitate, kill me when the time comes! ”
Wang Buyi couldn't help but be amused. After eating, he washed the dishes again, and then prepared to go out to the Internet café to meet the cousin of the man with glasses.
"I have the key, don't open anyone who knocks on the door, do you hear me?" The king lived up to his advice.
Xia Ci looked light, "Hmph, before I summoned you, I resisted the unspeakable evil for two years. Rest assured, I can handle them! ”
But the king was still not at ease, so he stepped out and turned back and said, "If a man knocks on the door, don't open it, hold a chair against the door." Nor can a woman open it. ”
"Got it!" Xia Ci was read impatiently.
"Alright, I'll be back early." Wang didn't live up to it, so he really went out.
Xia Ci waited for the king to go out, and the momentum just now immediately didn't know where to go. I turned on all the lights in the kitchen and bathroom in one go, and hid in the quilt with my homework to write. Wang didn't feel that when he was there, as soon as he left, Xia Ci was not used to it.
A lot of subtle sounds kept drilling into Xia Ci's ears. There are cracks in the iron windows, and when the wind blows, there is a sound, and there seems to be footsteps in the corridor outside, and the sound of vague speech is ......
Xia Ci has been in such an environment for two years, and it stands to reason that he should not be afraid of being like this. But since summoning Wang Buying, Xia Cixian's combat power has weakened, and it has become difficult to resist the unspeakable evil around him.
"Guardian, come back soon......" she was already crying.
……
When they arrived at the Internet café, the NTU foursome was still there. None of them had dinner, and planned to stay until ten o'clock, and then go to the food stalls to drink and have supper. Wang Buyi first gave the foursome today's daily salary, and all the 60,000 yuan was paid, and then asked the man with glasses to lead the way and go to his cousin.
On the way, Wang did not know that the man with glasses was named Zhou Yi.
And Zhou Yi was also surprised when he knew that Wang Buyi was the producer of "Crazy Tide": "Recently, it has been spread all over the world, saying that a company in the United States bought a game made by Chinese, and it turned out that you made it?" No wonder Boss Sun called you a god! ”
