(Special reminder, in addition to the 'new ink family', I also have a name 'dust ink', other than that, there is no other)

It's past ten o'clock.

When Rin rushed back to the warehouse, it was brightly lit and they were still busy, but Li Shou was already waiting at the door, and when he saw him, he beckoned. Rin slows down and brakes in front of the goal. Li Shou came up and opened the box to take a look, then took out a courier that was not sent out and threw it into the door, looked at his backpack again, and asked, "Is there anything else?" When Rin shook his head, he shouted at the inside, "Clean up and close the door, I'll go first." Turning around, he patted Rin on the shoulder and walked down the alley as he said, "The dormitory closes at 11 o'clock?" ”

"Ahh

"I can't go back, I slept at night at home."

"There's a class tomorrow morning."

"Does it make a difference if there is a class or not?"

“……”

"Three good students."

slapped Rin with a punch on the side shoulder, Li Shou smiled and said: "I think back then, when your brother and I were in college, the number of check-ins in the last three years didn't add up to three ......times" Rin pedaled the car, followed Li Shou slowly, chatting without a word, occasionally laughing, but not boring. It didn't take long for a man and a car to turn out of the alley and come to the side of the alley connected to the main street. At first glance, there are several barbecue restaurants.

"Boss, business is good!"

Across the road, Li Shou shouted to the other side. Under the canopy, behind the barbecue grill, a swarthy middle-aged man who was turning over the ingredients looked out, 'yo', grinned, and showed a row of teeth that looked white compared to his skin: "Ah Shou, it's so early today." ”

Li Shou chose a table on the side of the road: "There is something to do, first burn a few skewers of beef, chicken and chicken feet, and then a few bottles of ice." The boss glanced at Rin, who parked his bicycle on the edge of the shed: "Okay, two people?" ”

"Wait a minute, don't heat the wine."

"Okay, wife, 2 beers."

"It's coming, yo, Ah Shou, it's so early."

A woman in her thirties and forties came out of it, short and slightly fat, and when she saw Li Shou, she greeted her very familiarly, and when she came out with two bottles of beer and a small saucer, she saw Rin, thought for a second, and said with a smile: "This is, the guy last time, your cousin?" ”

Yes.

Li Shou smiled and nodded, took the beer, and waited for the proprietress to put the plate away and motioned for her to get busy. Skillfully rinsed two plastic cups, poured two glasses of wine by himself, one was pushed in front of Rin, and the other cup was picked up, clinking glasses casually, and drank it all. This year, there was a little bit of alcohol to drink, and Rin didn't push it, so he picked it up and drank half of it.

"Are you hungry?"

"Nope."

"Blanch the noodles, boss, blanch the noodles." Without waiting for Rin to say no, Li Shou finished shouting.

"Brother, is there something wrong?" Rin fills the empty cup.

"Hmmm......"

Li Shou looked around. The barbecue stall here is not a high-end place, and the guests are mostly low-end consumers, and this consumer group is either still playing at this point, or has not yet worked the night shift, so there are not many guests, and there are two of a dozen tables. Seeing that there were not many people, Li Shou took another sip of the wine glass that had just been poured, and when Rin poured the wine, he said, "It's not a big deal, but I plan not to do it." ”

Rin paused, then smoothly placed the bottle on the side of the table and asked, "Resign?" ”

"Well, I'll leave after calculating this month's salary."

"Why?"

"I'm going to go back to my old ways."

"Internet café?"

"No, well, what's that called......"

Li Shou forgot the words for a while, and tried to think about it with his eyes open. Rin looked at him, her mind spinning. Li Shou co-founded an Internet café with others, he knew it, and he was only in junior high school at that time, and he frequented it. In my memory, the business was not bad at the beginning, but unfortunately it was unlucky, and it caught up with the tide of mobile game hegemony after a few months, and then it coincided with the VR year, and the entire era of the traditional computer Internet mode was impacted, coupled with poor management, several shareholders were not in harmony, resulting in almost every year of loss of money in the next few years, and finally had to be transferred. It is said that he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars at that time. If it was before, although hundreds of thousands were many, Li Shou couldn't afford it, after all, he had a bit of a foundation at home, but when he opened an Internet café, he gave out more than 600,000 yuan, and almost took out a pair of belongings, but when he broke up, he only got hundreds of thousands, and it happened that his girlfriend had a big belly at that time, and as a result, Fengzi got married, and the rest was barely enough for the expenses when he got married.

Although with the help of friends, Li Shou did a small management in the express company and stayed steadfast for two years, but don't talk about himself, even if his wife and children don't use a penny, with his salary, at most 108,000 savings. 180,000, it's hard to make a difference in these years. Although he shouted his cousin, Li Shou will only be thirty next year, and if it was an old business, except for the Internet café, Rin really couldn't remember what else he had done before.

Syllable.

Li Shou patted his head and remembered: "Studio! ”

Rin was stunned, and it took two turns in her mind to react. Studio? Isn't an Internet café studio a game studio? I can't help but associate it together.

Li Shou took a sip of half a glass of wine, sighed, and said: "I used to open a booster in an Internet café, and I thought about becoming bigger at that time, but things were messed up, so I didn't think about it, and now I want to try again." ”

In a flash of inspiration, Rin blurted out, "VR boosting?" ”

Li Shou nodded: "The old game is not good, it is estimated that it will be eliminated in another year and a half, and it will be the world of VR games in the future." ”

"It's all tied to identity, right? How to practice? ”

As far as Rin knows, with the particularity of VR accessories, not to mention real-name authentication, I'm afraid it's very troublesome for a person to only control one, after all, most of the current boosting relies on multi-opening - the so-called multi-open, that is, a computer uses a program to control multiple game characters or games, and then a few people are responsible for taking care of the working mode of several or even a dozen or dozens of computers. If only one person can operate one game character, and the efficiency is not considered, according to the current popular games can receive hundreds of orders a month, for example, just a few hundred people, with the current scale of game studios, few studios can continue.

"Don't do power training, brush things and sell them."

"Oh."

Rin suddenly.

There are also many types of work in game studios, among which power training, training, and sparring are just one of them, and there are also some teams dedicated to serving some game bosses, such as the gold group, which is dedicated to providing players who are willing to spend money with the equipment they need in the game, consumables and other virtual items that take a long time to obtain, in exchange for the corresponding RMB occupation. And those who do this are called professional gamers if they are good, and they are called brushes or something if they are bad, which is very common in today's gaming industry. Rin has a roommate named Han Byung, who is making similar money right now, so he understands what is going on as soon as he hears it, plus he himself has been playing for more than ten years, so he has a relatively deep understanding of the nature of the studio, and he basically knows what he should know. However, it is precisely because of this that there is no worry: "Is this reliable?" ”

Li Shourin explained: "I've seen it, the game background is very awesome, tens of billions of dollars are tied to the bank and directly exchange game currency, and I am definitely not afraid in the short term." ”

Rin shook her head, "I mean, can you make money?" ”

After two glasses of wine, Li Shou spoke energetically: "The first VR tour, launched all over the world, the first batch of 10 million numbers is almost booked, and even many large companies plan to settle in, do you think you can make money?" Seeing Rin's doubts, Li Shou continued: "I've studied it all, I used to play games, and I used to play games with dozens of numbers on a computer, and I didn't have a fool to buy it?" In the future, everyone will have a head and a helmet, and if you are willing to do it, you will definitely be able to make money, and there are more people who are stupid and have more money, which is definitely better than taking a dead salary! ”

After talking and stopping, Rin was silent after all.

It's not hard for studios to make money, but it's not that hard. Regardless of the fact that it is easy to collapse the body by facing the computer for more than ten hours a day throughout the year, life is like being isolated from the world, it is easy to be out of touch with society, and the income is not stable. Someone once said that professional gamers, online writers, and online store owners are the three coolies of the Internet. Nowadays, the news is almost full of what online stores are booming, what online writers earn millions a year, and what large studios are constantly receiving orders, but who would know that in fact, millions of online stores close down every year, and only a few of the millions of online writers can survive every year...... If it is said that ordinary enterprise competition is to cross a single-plank bridge and pick one out of a hundred, then, compared with the number of jobs in these three types of network work, the proportion of success is estimated to be 1 in 10,000. It's like winning the lottery jackpot, you can't just live a long life and work hard...... In Rin's view, this kind of industry is only suitable for part-time and side jobs, and if you are a main job, unless you are talented or lucky, the cost performance is too low. It's just that seeing that Li Shou has made up his mind, he is full of ambition, and he can't pour cold water for a while.

"Hot noodles!"

The proprietress came over with a plate, and laughed before she put it down: "I heard you say making money over there, what's the matter, Boss Li wants to do business?" ”

"Boss of the."

Li Shou drank another glass, poured the remaining wine in the bottle and put the bottle on the ground: "You are the boss, I saw your family change your mobile phone last year, and this year I bought the car, I still want to quit my job to work with you." Isn't it good? Boss! Turning his head, Li Shou shouted at the boss of the barbecue.

"Okay, come and burn!"

"Don't believe ...... yet"

"Hey, you're more serious, Boss Li, we make all the hard money, it's dirty and tired, you can't do it." The proprietress put down the plate, motioned for Rin to use it slowly, and then opened another bottle of beer while joking, and continued to work without waiting for Li Shou to answer with a smile.

"Why can't I do it? When I opened an Internet café, I was ...... alone."

“……”

Rin listened to Li Shou bragging, took two pairs of chopsticks, put one pair in front of his table, and opened the other pair by himself, grabbed a bunch of noodles and stirred them on the plate, bowed his head and ate them. After a while, Li Shou took a sip of wine after bragging about it, saw Rin stop his hand, and asked, "Don't you eat?" ”

"Not hungry."

"Eat, it's useless to have more money." Li Shou pushed the whole plate of noodles in front of Rin, and seemed to hesitate: "I know you are provincial, but you still have to eat what you should eat." Rin's expression didn't change much, but she accepted the kindness and ate silently. In fact, there are not many, like this kind of barbecue stall hot things, a small dish, basically two mouthfuls of things, under normal circumstances, it is not enough for an adult to appetize. Li Shou watched him eat most of it, probably thought about it, and said: "I mean, when I quit my job, you will also work with me, not to mention anything else, the salary you will give will definitely be more than the parts you send now." After taking a breath, he continued: "But, to be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart, if you don't want to face the computer all day, it's okay, I told the warehouse manager, it's Ayuan, you know, my cousin's son, anyway, everyone is a relative, he doesn't help you who is, wait for me to leave, everything is as usual, you don't have to care about anything, continue to send things at the right time, it's ......"

Rin buried her head in her noodles and said 'um'. Li Shou drained the wine in the cup, paused for a moment while pouring the wine himself, and then said: "I have calculated, even if I continue to work, I will take out all my salary......"

"I didn't mean that, Brother Shou......"

"Listen to me."

Li Shou pinched the wine glass: "I don't know what you want?" Xiao Si who am I? I don't help or people? Now it's a matter of money, but as far as my 180,000 is concerned, it's useless to take it out, it's better to fight while there is still time, no matter how hard it is, it won't be less, right? If you do a good job, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, plus what you save, it is almost enough for the first installment of the treatment fee, and the later, even if you sell the house and land, we can fill it slowly, and we will always fill it in, and when you graduate, it won't take a few years to get up......"

"I want to drop out."

"Good luck...... Yes? Li Shou looked at Rin, picked up the wine glass and put it down again, his expression as if he didn't hear clearly.

"When Sisi is good, come back and read ......"

"You're stupid!"

Li Shou put the wine glass on the table, and the wine spilled out: "You will graduate in two years, and you will drop out?" What can I do when I drop out? How much money can you earn a year if you don't have a diploma and don't know anything? Even if you run an express delivery without black and white, you can earn 5,600,000, and you only have a few dollars for a year or two? I just don't want to take that dead salary to come out now! ”

Rin put down her chopsticks and stopped talking. Li Shou pressed his shoulder and squeezed it hard: "I know you're in a hurry, but this matter is in a hurry?" There is still more than a year left, you finish your university well, there will always be a way, don't be foolish. ”

"I'll just talk about it."

"I know, you're not stupid, do you want to?" Li Shou pointed to the empty plate, saw Rin shook his head, and did not force him, and said: "Saying this, it's not to add pressure to you, when your brother and I were in college, what else would I do besides playing games and playing girls?" You're already amazing, just to tell you that there's such a thing, to let you know. Picked up the wine glass and touched Rin's cup, Li Shou drank it to himself: "I said too much, don't say it, in short, what should you do, why do you support you, how can your brother Shou support you, understand?" ”

"I know, thank you Brother Shou."

"You're here again, okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's have another bowl of hot noodles......"

"No, I have to go back to the dormitory, there is still class tomorrow morning."

Rin shook her head and stood up. Li Shou looked at the time, and it was half past ten: "Sleep at my house for one night?" Don't? Then it's up to you, do you want to pack a bag back? ”

"I'm full, so I'll go back first."

"Well, you look at it yourself, what I just told you, you just remember it, it's nothing......"

"Yes, I'm going back."

"Be careful!"

Stepping onto the bike, Rin waved his hand and rode out onto the main road. Li Shou stared for a while, and then poured a full amount of wine. After a while, the boss came over with the baked things: "Yo, the guy is leaving?" ”

"Ah, there's class tomorrow."

"Oh, then we have to go back early, come, eat!"

Put the skewers on a plate and the boss wipes his sweat. Li Shou took a new cup, poured him a glass of wine, and the two drank a glass, smoked politely, and started talking. Not long after, there was a lot of noise on the other side of the alley, and the employees of the warehouse who got off work came. The boss gave up his position in a playful way, pulled a few stools, and greeted the group from afar.

Li Shou pinched the empty cup, and glanced twice in the direction where Rin disappeared, his expression was a little gloomy. However, when his colleagues came over, his interest was high again, and he should laugh and laugh, and make trouble.
