Wei Dongsheng understands the pros and cons of small reports.
Tian Youliang can beat Huo Yongshan's small report today, and he will definitely be able to beat Wei Dongsheng's small report tomorrow. Such a character, when used around, will inevitably become an unstable factor. Therefore, Wei Dongsheng treated Tian Youliang's surrender lukewarmly, and never clearly released a signal of goodwill to him.
However, the small report has the effect of a small report, which can at least restrain Huo Yongshan from quietly encroaching on the Internet café game studio. Therefore, Wei Dongsheng ignored Tian Youliang's whistleblower documents, and at the same time gave him a certain amount of sales authority through normal channels, which is also the deep-seated reason why Tian Youliang was able to earn more than 500,000 yuan in dividends and bonuses.
In all this, Tian Youliang often expressed his loyalty to Wei Dongsheng.
Showing loyalty is quite effective.
Wei Dongsheng advocated it, Tian Youliang followed up, and although Huo Yongshan didn't think that Banlangen had anything to sell, he had no choice but to agree.
Physical freight is not like online trading, borrowing, selecting, and transporting are very energy-consuming, and it is not a matter that can be effective in two or three days.
During the preparations, Wei Dongsheng continued to take refuge in Wuping Yigao.
In other words, Wei's father and Wei mother were confused by Chang Mingxia's college entrance examination immigration rhetoric, and lowered the urgency of the college entrance examination, calmly examined the value of academic qualifications, and felt that Spring and Autumn Software was the elite of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Yenching University, and Tsinghua University. In the face of Wu Ping's family return visit, Wei's father and Wei's mother were surprised that Wei Dongsheng monopolized the first place in the grade for three consecutive times with 907 points, 879 points, and 912 points, and was unwilling to cooperate with Wu Ping Yigao to imprison Wei Dongsheng on campus.
Wu Pingyigao's family return visit unexpectedly failed.
The head teacher, Mr. Wei, returned to school lonely, but was surprised to find that Wei Dongsheng came to the school to attend classes obediently.
The misunderstanding by mistake surprised the head teacher, Mr. Wei, for a long time.
Campus chores are boring and not too verbose.
In the online game industry circle, the legendary copyright crisis is getting worse and worse, and emade, the real developer of "Legend", has also surfaced in a high-profile manner, shouting the slogan "I'd rather die than cooperate with Shanda". Shanda Network also responded in his way, releasing a new product "New Legend" on February 17, promising that the current game users of "Legend" can pan to the new game; On February 22, Fu announced that it had received $40 million in financing from SoftBank Asia, which shook the entire Internet.
According to media statistics, in 2002, Huaguo Network Industry only received a total of 40.85 million US dollars in venture capital, and now Shanda Network has raised 40 million US dollars at one time, which is simply a business legend that cannot be replicated.
Shanda Network's "Legend" has created a legend, and Ninth City's "Miracle MU" has created a miracle, as if the name of the online game has a prophecy in the ghost.
Other game manufacturers are becoming more and more envious and jealous, such as Sina Legu, and even launched the "Legendary Shabak City Lord Campaign" to blatantly rob legendary players. However, behind the robbery is actually helplessness. Sina Legu is the mainland operator of "Paradise", which is super successful in South Korea, with a market share of more than 70%; Sina, one of China's top three portals, paired with South Korea's most popular online game "Paradise", came up with an embarrassing answer: since the open beta of "Paradise", the number of simultaneous online users has been hovering around 10,000.
"Paradise", which has a market share of 70% in South Korea, came to China and was greeted by winter frost; "Legend", which is not in the Korean market, came to China, and it was greeted by the fire cooking oil, and the invincible attitude occupied 70% of the market in 2002. The two completely different 70% have left countless online game operators at a loss: what is the standard of a good game? What kind of games do players need?
The vision is out of the online game circle, out of the Internet circle, and the world is also disturbed and unpeaceful.
As soon as the country's leader was formally elected at the 10th Congress of the People's Republic of China, the Iraqi crisis broke out the next day, and US President George W. Bush (George_Bush) issued a strong ultimatum, demanding that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his son leave Iraq within 48 hours, otherwise they would be attacked militarily.
On March 20, 2003, the Iraq War broke out, and the United States and Britain launched a large-scale air and ground offensive against Iraq.
On March 20, South Korea's eMade announced that it had signed a contract with Guangtong Communications to sell the operation rights of "Legend 3" in China, Hong Kong and Macau to Guangtong Communications. Behind Guangtong Communications stands the behemoth CITIC Group, Shanda Network could not use off-market moves to compete with it, and could only compete with commercial means legally, and fell into a crisis for a while.
Before that, a legend is a legend; Since then, the Legendary player base has ushered in a sharp divergence.
Shanda continues to operate, is "Legend 2", is "Legend of Blood"; Guangtong operates "Legend 3".
As a result of this, the daily sales of equipment trading in Internet café game studios have also dropped to freezing point. The total monthly sales in February have been halved from 9.02 million yuan in January to 2.883 million yuan, and the total monthly sales in March are obviously not worth looking forward to.
Wei Dongsheng actually understands very well that difficulties are only temporary. When the general environment stabilizes and players regain their desire to invest, the income from equipment trading will definitely slowly rise to a normal level. However, the "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" developed by Spring and Autumn Software has reached the final stage, and Wei Dongsheng is currently screening suitable players based on the download trace analysis of the torrent download artifact, and inviting them to internal test to eliminate bugs in due course. "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" is about to be launched, how can Wei Dongsheng still have the heart to continue to operate the first pot of gold.
Taking advantage of the public opinion that Guangtong signed "Legend 3", Wei Dongsheng officially ended the Internet café game studio project on March 23 with the meager profit of equipment trading. From September 19, 2002 to March 23, 2003, the total sales of equipment transactions of Internet cafes and game studios were 79.028 million yuan, which was simply converted into 60% dividends, providing Wei Dongsheng with a total of 47.41 million yuan of gray income.
The Internet café game studio is the first pot of gold accumulated by Wei Dongsheng's bloody primitive, but unfortunately there are profits and losses in the month, and its historical mission has come to an end. The backbone employees of the original Internet café game studio were completely unemployed, and under the background of luxury and frugality, they began to resell banlangen to coastal cities under the suggestion of Wei Dongsheng.
On March 25, 2003, the SARS incident caused a great shock within the industry. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng ordered the computer intelligence Life Cyanobacteria and Orange Algae to publish hot posts on major forums at the same time, deliberately linking the hoarding photos of Banlangen with hot events such as the Iraq War and legendary copyrights:
"Awesome, my Banlangen!"
"The US-British coalition forces are not adapted to the soil and water in Iraq, and urgently order 1,000 tons of banlangen!"
"Shocking, the US-British coalition launched a biological and chemical attack in Iraq, and Saddam Hussein urgently ordered a thousand tons of banlangen!"
"Banlangen turned out to be a strategic material!"
"The crazy price increase of Banlangen is tenfold, and the reason behind it is that the United States and Britain have ordered it."
"Why did Banlangen become a strategic material?"
"Can Banlangen defend against biological weapons?"
"Guangtong signed a contract for "Legend 3" and paid 1 million boxes to South Korea."
……
Many of the posts are unscrupulous false jokes, but behind the jokes is the crazy price increase of banlan root and vinegar.
When Banlangen became a hot word, some public opinion began to be strange and curious: what is the real reason for the price increase of Banlangen?
The state prohibits the media from reporting on the SARS disease without authorization, but it cannot prohibit online media from hyping up banlan root and vinegar. Some media and reporters who are afraid of chaos know what the truth is, but they pretend not to know the hidden story behind it, chasing and reporting the crazy price increase of banlan root and vinegar in various places. At the same time, the media dare not or are unwilling to report, but the private users of the forum dare to speak the truth or rumors unscrupulously.
The number of netizens who were deleted and banned immediately formed a general trend of forcing the truth, and finally forced the official to officially face the SARS incident in just a few days. The entire internet was under angry scrutiny, reports of concealment were being revealed, and the country quickly realized that the SARS outbreak was far more serious than initially expected. On March 31, after the Xiangjiang government isolated more than 100 infected people in Amoy Garden, the Chinese government announced that it would strictly rectify the mechanism of the Ministry of Health, suspend schools, broadcast the latest epidemic on the news, and began to encircle and suppress SARS nationwide.
SARS is not a terminal disease, and with the support of resources at the national level, it was immediately controlled in an orderly manner.
As one of the hardest-hit areas, Yanjing may have effectively reduced unnecessary infections because of the short fermentation time, and by April 18, the number of new confirmed cases was quickly controlled in single digits; On April 21, students began to return to school one after another, and only those with excessive body temperature were strictly prohibited from entering the school, and were quickly sent to the hospital for observation and diagnosis; On April 25, the number of new confirmed cases was zero, and the number of suspected cases also dropped to single digits; On April 31, Yanjing achieved zero new cases across the board, and SARS was effectively controlled; On May 10, the World Health Organization announced that Yenching would be removed from the list of epidemic areas, and the speed of encirclement and suppression of SARS is second only to that of Singapore, which has fewer infections.
On the evening of May 11, Wei Dongsheng took the opportunity to end his three-month evacuation and drove back to Yanjing.
During Wei Dongsheng's refuge, the Spring and Autumn series of companies did not stop developing.
In order to cooperate with the smooth operation of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", Wei Dongsheng remotely established Yanjing Spring and Autumn Information Service Co., Ltd., stepped into the third-party payment industry, and named it Credit Treasure by drawing on Alipay's name to solve the problem of online recharge; Remote control established Yanjing Chunqiu Information Security Co., Ltd., stepped into the network security industry, produced Chunqiu security housekeeper, and solved the security problem of online recharge. As of today, the Spring and Autumn series of companies have launched a total of four products: the online game "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", the download tool torrent download artifact, the payment tool Credit Treasure, and the security tool Spring and Autumn Security Butler.
