Chapter 389: Recognizing the Future
After Shang Xia and Dong Wenyue made up their minds, they usually paid more attention to the people around Lin Anan.
But after a month, I didn't find out who she was particularly close to, and she was too shy to keep silent after saying a word or two softly to anyone.
"Looks like we're overthinking?"
Dong Wenyue muttered as she brushed her teeth on Friday morning.
Shang Xia nodded, "It should be, otherwise there wouldn't be no signs at all, probably because the books I read recently are more interesting." ”
She wrung out her face and patted it as she spoke.
Dong Wenyue took a mouthful of water in her mouth and rinsed her mouth, "Eh, by the way, I heard that you, Lin Ran and An An are going to go to South Korea together during the summer vacation?" ”
Shang Xia smiled and nodded, "There are also a few parents who are also going, and the visas have already been taken." ”
Originally, she was because she and Lin Ran practiced Korean as a second language, and she knew that the game development there was better than in China at this time, so she said that she would go with Lin Ran to see it.
After Shang Xiaohe heard the news, he said that he wanted to go together.
She knew from Boss Wang's mouth that the jewelry gadgets over there were very popular now, so she was going to go on a field trip with Huang Biao's mother to ensure that their common original brand did not lag behind.
In this way, Shang Xia simply asked a few people around him, and then the travel duo instantly turned into a small team of 7 people.
Her mother, as well as Lin Ran's mother, Huang Biao's mother immediately applied for a visa.
Lin Anan originally wanted to go there to play, but this time, taking advantage of the crowds, she was going to take Kang Fuhe, a doctor and bodyguard who often takes care of her.
Xiao Linlin and Huang Biao couldn't get out because of the affairs of the branch school, so they wrote a big list for them to help bring things.
"I really envy you as a family, and you can live together, you can eat together, and you can go out together, it's good~"
Dong Wenyue put down the toothbrush and mouthwash cup and wiped her face, and looked at Shang Xia with a smile.
She still remembered that when school first started, at that time, she felt that Shang Xia was much more mature than her peers, and then she did a series of things that students of this age could not think of.
The current Shang Xia is more confident and generous than Shang Xia when he was a freshman, and countless eye-catching points of light are flashing on his body.
"Silly girl, it seems like you're not the same~ By the way, you've been teaching children in Shanglin Education on weekends recently, is it really okay?"
There are too many students in Shanglin Education, but it is difficult to train excellent teachers, so the people in the dormitory went to help.
Because the people in the dormitory are all locals in Beijing, they can only help out in the winter and summer vacations when they are freshmen and sophomores, and they have to go back on weekends on weekdays, so Shang Xia was very surprised to know that Dong Wenyue and they had recently applied for a fixed course arrangement.
"My parents said that it is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes to be able to enter Shanglin Education as a teacher, let me work hard, and strive to stay in Shanglin Education after graduation."
Dong Wenyue spread her hands and said playfully, her father and mother have become like this since they saw Shang Xia on the news broadcast in the newspaper.
"What our school lacks the most is such an excellent old teacher as you~ Don't break your promise after graduation, I'm waiting for you to report~"
Seeing that this year's summer vacation is over, it will be the fourth year, and now the main force in Shanglin Education is Shang Xia's classmates of the same grade, so I can't help but worry that there will be a teacher fault line as soon as everyone graduates from the school.
But recently, more and more teachers have expressed their willingness to stay, especially those whose families are already in Beijing, and they have signed internship contracts with her in advance.
Those who are not ready to stay in Beijing for development are inquiring if they have any plans to open a branch school at their home, and want to be like Ning Yufei and Qiao Ni, so that they can go home and work there, and continue to stay in Shanglin Education.
Thinking of this, Shang Xia and Dong Wenyue said a few words briefly, and went directly to the office.
Their institution already has three branch campuses in Beijing, and Shang Xia has no plans to continue to increase the number for the time being.
In the past almost a year, Tongcheng has maintained the same pace as the main campus, and has completely gained a firm foothold in Tongcheng.
But......
"Is there any new action on the Genius Education side lately?"
Xiao Linlin took a form in his hand to her.
"They can't find a breakthrough point in several branches in Beijing, so there is no big move now, but the price war continues, and all the pricing is close to half lower than ours.
And after we came out of the grading system, they also divided themselves into individual classes for various courses, as well as courses of different intensities for students of different levels, and they all copied them. ”
Last year's college entrance examination results made Shanglin education hot in the college entrance examination industry, so it led to a sharp increase in students in various campuses.
In the past, in order to adapt to the situation at that time, Shang Xia did not launch courses by subject, and all classes were tutored together with all subjects.
But now that there are more students, teachers can't bear it, and some students who are partial to the subject just want to take one of the courses, and they don't need to spend so much time on other subjects.
Therefore, at the suggestion of parents, Shang Xia retained the original large classes, and according to the later system, all the languages and mathematics, politics, history and geography, and physics and chemistry were all separated, which was convenient for students to make more targeted choices and also improved the work efficiency of teachers.
"It's okay, this thing is not something that can only be used by us, and the education of geniuses is not excessive, and it is not a good thing for them to suddenly reform the system."
Teachers in gifted education are not divided into subjects, and a teacher may teach Chinese, mathematics, and English.
Shanglin Education only did this when there was not enough manpower in the early stage, and when the manpower was able, it immediately did the division.
She doesn't need someone who knows everything, she just needs a teacher who is particularly good at research in a certain subject!
It is also because of this that she can easily reform the curriculum system.
"By the way, I may not be in China when the college entrance examination results come out this time, and it all depends on you and Huang Biao."
The previous experience had already made the two of them grow up, Shang Xia didn't need to watch all the big and small things by herself, and she didn't have so much energy.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you the data as soon as the time comes."
After confirming all the things that had to be handled by her, Shang Xia went to Lin Ran's studio.
When she went, she saw a lot of porters looking for financial settlements there.
"All done?"
Lin Ran looked at the workers who left and nodded.
At the beginning of 00, Shang Xia mentioned the problem of game addiction.
She didn't say it explicitly, but after Lin Ran looked at the three game halls and two game bars that have now expanded, he found that there are indeed many teenagers who will come with fake ID cards, just to be able to go in and play.
They can't verify the authenticity of the documents one by one, so it is inevitable that there will be minors who are not old enough to go in.
Not only that, but he also saw with his own eyes that some parents found the game hall and beat up the child who was playing the game, saying that he had stolen the family's money to play, and the personnel of the game bar also became complicated, and many young students even learned to smoke and fight here!
He realized the seriousness of the situation at that time, and immediately announced that all the game bars and arcades would be closed.
Then, after market research, he sold all the game consoles and other things in the game bar second-hand, installed all five facades on the computer, and opened an Internet café.
In 00, there were fewer computers installed in the home, but Internet cafes have begun to appear.
Shang Xia didn't expect Lin Ran to be so straightforward, she brought up the problem of addiction in advance, just to give Lin Ran enough time to make Lin Ran aware of the change in policy.
She remembers very well that because of the bad impact of the game market on young people, the "Opinions on Carrying out Special Governance of Electronic Game Business Premises" was issued in June 00, and 11 game consoles were directly banned, requiring the cessation of all production, sales and business activities of game consoles.
The release of this ban officially closed the door to the domestic game console market, causing direct losses of more than 83 billion in 13 years!
During this time, online games developed rapidly, and the game market for home consoles and handheld consoles disappeared completely!
This ban was not lifted until 14 years ago.
"I started opening game bars and game halls to provide more entertainment options for everyone, and now the disadvantages have outweighed the benefits, and there is no need for them to exist."
Although Lin Ran felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't feel sad.
There were too many big events in the game industry in 00, which also made him see the future development direction of the studio thoroughly.
They're going to make real games!
RPGs such as Padergate and Diablo - that is, role-playing games - were released and caused a sensation in the world, and Niso also launched the PS2 in early March this year, directly fighting the king of home game consoles Jiayu Dreamcast and is likely to succeed.
In such an environment, Lin Ran will not see the reality clearly, and he will limit his vision to the game bar and the game hall.
Moreover, even the Internet café that is still in gestation is not his ultimate goal, it is just a tool he uses to host the games developed by the studio!
He glanced at his mates in the studio, their faces undisguised as lost.
Especially the brothers in the dormitory, watching the workers come to settle the bill, they finally confirmed that Lin Ran was not just talking, and their faces suddenly turned bad.
After all, the game bar and the game hall are the brilliance they once created together!
Shang Xia gently held his hand, "When you travel to South Korea this time, you will definitely learn more." ”
Lin Ran clasped her hand and looked away from the studio, looking at the bright sky outside the window.
"Well, I will definitely make the best game that all Chinese people can be proud of! Let everyone know what a real game is! ”
Shang Xia smiled and shook his hand.
"Okay, now that the work is over, it's time to take everyone to eat something delicious, otherwise a few of their big boys may really cry here~"
