013 [Free is the most expensive]

Yanjing.

Somewhere in a tube building.

In the room without the lights on, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl sat at a computer desk wrapped in a quilt, staring at the monitor that emitted blue light.

Seeing that the other party sent the address, she also quickly copied it and pasted it on the search website.

Although there is no thousand-degree encyclopedia now, a Wikipedia has appeared abroad.

Now the domestic network has not blocked foreign websites, and the Chinese version of Wikipedia was officially launched in Xiangjiang in October last year, so it is still easy to search in China now.

"SEG Science and Technology Park is located at No. 1015, Huaqiang North Road, Shenzhen, completed in March 1992, and is currently the largest gathering place for Internet companies in Shenzhen, with a large number of well-known Internet enterprises emerging in China......"

Looking at the simple information provided on Wikipedia, the girl's previous suspicions also dissipated at this moment, and it seems that this person called "I'm not wool" is really an employee of an Internet company.

"Xiaoyue, what time is it, still not sleeping? Don't play with the computer, I bought you a computer so that you can study hard, not for you to chat with people in the middle of the night. ”

Outside the bedroom, the mother's voice of dissatisfaction was heard.

Li Yue hurriedly responded: "No mother, I'm studying, the teacher arranged computer homework." ”

"Really? Then don't study too late, go to bed early, tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to go to your grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"Got it, Mom."

After Li Yue made a perfunctory sentence, he also quickly searched for the World Wide Internet company on Wikipedia, but did not search for related companies.

Thinking that "I am not wool" said that their company was still in the early stages of creation, coupled with the fact that most of Wikipedia is currently compiling catalogs in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese, and many domestic encyclopedia materials have not been included, so Li Yue has no doubts about the authenticity of Wanwei Company for the time being.

After all, the other party took the initiative to ask for a payment and invited Li Yue to go to Shenzhen to see their Wanwei company in person.

If you are a scammer, how can you think of sending money first?

"World Wide ......"

Li Yue pursed her lips, thought about it for a while, and decided that after the third day of the Lunar New Year, she must find a way to buy a ticket to Shenzhen.

In terms of money, she is not lacking, but whether her parents approve of her going has become a big problem.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, the head of the department hurried over.

There were too many people who logged in to QQ last night, which led to a short-term fluctuation in the server, and thanks to the fact that Lao Ma had raised a sum of money not long ago, he increased the scale of the server, which supported the use of nearly one million people last night.

At the same time, the old horse was happy, but he also began to make trouble.

Now, with the increase in the number of users, although the income of Montnets has begun to increase dramatically, it cannot withstand the large number of server fees every day.

So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the bosses of other companies were still sleeping, he rushed to the company early, and at the same time convened the executives of relevant departments to prepare to discuss the launch time of the QQ game hall, and by the way, see how to grab the market from the Lianzhong game hall.

Making his own game hall is something that Lao Ma has negotiated with his subordinates as early as 2001, but at that time it was just in time for the Internet winter, which led to great losses to the entire IT industry.

Not to mention the collective shrinkage of the market value of the four major portals, NetEase almost faced the crisis of bankruptcy, when NetEase's stock price fell to $0.64, not only fell below the issue price, but also reached the most critical moment of the market.

This also caused the old horse at that time to be frightened and postponed the QQ game hall wirelessly.

Until the middle of last year, after the gradual recovery of the global Internet industry, coupled with the emergence of mobile Montnets in 01, QQ users can receive messages from QQ friends on their mobile phones as long as they open the SMS notification service.

Relying on Monternet, QQ has rejuvenated the new year, not only finding a profit point, but also making a lot of money through Monternet.

Other Internet companies, except for individual game companies, have also relied on Monternet to survive the cold winter of the Internet.

After making money, Lao Ma began to set his sights on the QQ game hall again.

The first chess and card game hall in China is the Lianzhong game hall launched by Yanjing Lianzhong Network Company, which mainly operates games based on chess and cards, and all domestic chess and card games can be seen here.

And unlike the later free chess and card games, the Lianzhong game hall adopts a membership system, and if you want to play, you must pay money to become a member.

Don't underestimate this membership system, the people who use computers today are either public institutions or people with good family conditions.

Most of these people are of a certain age, and they are willing to spend money to recharge members, and they will meet the country's chess and card masters on the Internet.

In addition, most of the current players in the Lianzhong game hall are real chess and card masters.

Unlike the brainless Joy Fight landlord later, Lianzhong players can accurately guess what cards their opponents have according to the cards on the table.

Playing a landlord fight is more complicated than a brain-burning detective game.

After all, there is already a mature case of Lianzhong, and the old horse who is used to learning from it will naturally not choose to take the adventure of finding another way.

At this time, Yang Yu is not qualified enough to participate in this kind of meeting, otherwise he will definitely scoff at the so-called membership system.

The most expensive thing in the world, always free.

This can be seen from the fact that Penguin has since launched so many free games.

Prop charging is king.

……

……

Nine a.m.

After Yang Yu came out of the company, he also talked with Li Fugui and the managers of SEG Science and Technology Park downstairs about renting out the office.

"Manager Zhang, can't it be cheaper? How many 5,000 a month would it take for such a big office? ”

Yang Yu looked at this small office of less than 40 square meters, and he was also dissatisfied with the rent of 5,000 a month.

Manager Zhang shook his head: "It's really not cheap, this is already the lowest price." If it weren't for the small size of the office, many companies wouldn't be able to move in, even if it was a little bigger, the rent price would have to start at least 10,000 yuan. ”

"How about four thousand months? Manager Zhang, I believe you can also see that we are a newly established company, and the funds for starting a business in the early stage are too tight, so we can save a little bit. ”

Yang Yu's tearful entrepreneurial complaints did not impress the iron-faced and selfless Manager Zhang.

The other party still put on an attitude of at least 5,000 rent.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yang Yu's eyes rolled and said: "Manager Zhang, if you don't do this, the contract is four thousand and one month, and I will give you four thousand five hundred yuan every month." ”

Manager Zhang raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it for a while, he also frowned and said: "Your newly created company is under great financial pressure, and I can understand it, and four thousand a month is not impossible." ”

Seeing that the other party showed signs of relenting, Yang Yu hurriedly said: "Then it's decided Manager Zhang, when do you think we can sign the contract?" ”

"In the afternoon, sign in the afternoon."

Manager Zhang was stunned, but he didn't care about the other party's eagerness.

In terms of rent, he still has a say, not to mention that the area of this office is indeed too small, and companies with more people can't move in at all.

Otherwise, it is impossible for SEG Science and Technology Park to have such an empty office in such a good location.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Yang Yu said inch by inch: "Okay, then sign the contract in the afternoon." But Manager Zhang, can we pay it once a month? ”

"Once a month?"

"It's impossible, the contract period starts at one year, and it must be paid off at one time."

"How about a quarter?"

"No, no, no. If you don't rent it, forget it. ”

Manager Zhang shook his head impatiently, as if to say, if you don't rent, forget it.
