Chapter 126: The Information Age
People tend to like to represent an era with the most representative productivity tools.
Like the original Stone Age, later the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Steam Age, the Electric Age.
And after the birth of the computer in 1946 and the Internet in 1989, people did not call it the computer age or the Internet age, but more commonly called the information age.
Especially after entering the 21st century, the maturity and popularization of the Internet have made the explosion of information that we are exposed to every day even a little excessive.
We are affected by countless information every day, sometimes we lose a lot of independent thinking and self-judgment ability, when information is scarce, we have no other way to obtain it, what the teacher says, what is said on TV, we will feel that it is the truth.
And when there is a surplus of information, we are even more lazy to judge what is true, because we have to be exposed to so much information every day, and we have to think independently about each one, which is really tiring.
So the signposts that we find our way on the Internet come from what most people say, just like the store ratings on Taobao and the movie ratings on IMDB, because most people say that if it's good, it's probably good. There are also hot spots in search engines, hot posts in forums, hot words on the Internet, and popular hot jokes...... Since most people are discussing, that should be interesting.
The hot topic of "employee encouragers" has really sparked a massive discussion, and more and more people are getting involved, especially among college students and office workers.
"Do you know what the hottest job is right now?"
"Civil servants?"
“…… Have you ever heard of an employee encourager? ”
"What's that?"
"It's a position that specifically encourages other employees, like a cheerleader."
"And this kind of thing? Aren't you afraid of arguing with other people's work, is it a woman? ”
"It's a dog!"
"What?"
"You come and see this post."
There are a few photos in the post:
A programmer was typing code, and a Satsuma was standing next to him, with his front paws resting on the table, also staring at the computer screen;
It seemed to be a break, and several female employees were feeding the Satsuma in a circle;
It looked like the project team was in a meeting, and a group of men were talking about themselves around the conference table, and the Satsuma was lying in the middle of the conference table, yawning, and not listening to what was going on outside the window.
"You see this dog still has a badge."
"You're a full-time employee, huh?"
"I heard that if you sign a contract, you will also receive a salary!"
"Can a dog sign?"
"I can press paw prints!"
"Which company is this?"
"Herring Network."
"What for?"
"Whoever makes a game."
"No wonder game companies are so free?"
"Not necessarily, I haven't seen a dog in the office of Titan Huang Yi."
"What games have they made?"
"How do I know, you can ferry it yourself."
Quietly, games such as "Eternal War", "Proud Sword", "Dandantang", and "Seven Heroes" also entered the top 50 of the search list of "popular games".
As for "Immortal Dao", it has always been on the list.
……
……
Taking advantage of this popularity, on February 21st, the Lantern Festival, "Proud Sword" took the lead in opening the undeleted test, while "Dandantang" is scheduled for February 23, and "Seven Heroes" is scheduled for February 25, both two days apart.
Generally speaking, many games will try to avoid some other popular or new servers of the same type of games when they open the server, which is actually the same as movies, new albums, these to avoid the schedule, players and their attention are attracted by more competitive products, and the lead effect will naturally be affected.
There is no need for your own company's products to squeeze into the same day to grab users.
This is the first time that the herring game platform has really large-scale guidance, and the new server has been launched a week in advance, and various advertising channels have been launched, with the goal of introducing about 50,000 users to the entire platform within this week.
It's an uphill battle.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the "Proud Sword" server [One Sword from the West] was opened on time, and almost at the moment when the server was opened, the entire computer screen was full of players, shoulder to shoulder, crowded, and people intuitively felt what kind of state the word popularity was.
This is still the case where the maximum number of players displayed at the foreground is controlled at the same time, otherwise the players would not have known what the card looks like. Of course, "Proud Sword" itself has also spent a lot of effort, and the rendering performance of various art resources in the character scene UI has been "optimized".
This burst of popularity helps to boost players' confidence in the game, and in the face of a game that "everyone is playing", players will be more motivated to keep playing, which will also help a lot in retention.
So a lot of games have events that bring players together at some point in time and make them feel that kind of popularity.
At ten o'clock, Ye Shenxi shouted: "Li Zhi, the number of people!" ”
In fact, he can also go into the management background to see, but he is training wildly, where is there time to be distracted.
Li Zhi was also in the same state, and he had no time for anything else, so he also shouted: "Tian Li, how many people are there now?" ”
Tian Li: "......"
I could only switch web pages, and I quickly clicked a few times and replied: "1647!" Then he quickly switched back to the game page.
This is the number of players online on the server at the same time just ten minutes after the server was launched.
"What about server performance?" After a while, Ye Shenxi shouted again, and then Li Zhi spoke, and finally Tian Li replied: "Normal!" ”
"What about bandwidth usage, Tian Li?" Ye Shenxi had a feeling of what to do with Li Zhi, and directly bypassed him and asked Tian Li, he was quite sensitive after being attacked last time.
Tian Li quickly replied: "15%, normal." "The tone is calm, but the pain in your heart, you can see it yourself, why do you have to let me see it, I don't need to level up!
Ye Shenxi was enjoying the thrill of upgrading, but at this time, a Chen Xiaofan suddenly came out, and Ye Shenxi, who was addicted to the game at all, shouted loudly: "Mr. Ye!" Mr. Ye! ”
This girl has been restrained for a while since she was intimidated by Leader Ye for a small group of employees last time, but she soon reverted to her old ways and became very aggressive in the face of the leader.
It seems that the only thing the whole company is really afraid of is Xia Qingyu? Although Ye Shenxi is also the boss now, everyone admires him, but it seems that he is still too approachable? Less of a leader's sense of oppression?
There is a feeling that the director of the radio station has a poem: "Women are strong and men are weak, women are strong and men are weak, how beautiful, how wonderful".
"What's wrong?" Ye Shenxi asked.
"The Golden Feather Award invites you to the award ceremony!"
"When?"
"March 3rd."
There are still 10 days left, and there should be time at that time.
"Okay."
"Okay...... What does that mean? To go or not to go? ”
"Go."
This girl's comprehension skills haven't improved much.
"Then I gave an answer over there, huh?"
"Hurry up."
