Chapter 356: Years Later

On the first day of the Spring Festival, until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the family was very busy.

Originally, Xu Xing's family had a lot of relatives, and it was normal for them to visit each other during the Chinese New Year in previous years.

This year, Xu Xing exposed the identity of the founder of Qunxing Group, and suddenly even distant relatives who don't have much contact on weekdays have been contacted.

If it is said that it is the second grandfather and the third grandfather's house, or the grandparents' side, according to the usual practice, Xu Xing still follows his parents to go to the door to eat.

On the sixth day of the new year, I also booked a few tables in the hotel, and everyone gathered together during the Spring Festival.

But some of his relatives who couldn't even name and title, he refused them all, and let his parents say that the company was very busy and didn't have time to come out to eat again.

In fact, this is also the case.

After the seventh day of the new year, employees have returned one after another, and the company began to enter the normal operation order in 2014.

On February 10th, Weixin officially announced the relevant data during the Spring Festival.

Including the number and scale of red envelope interactions in the Spring Festival Gala, the amount involved and the participation and support of the brand.

and the data of WeChat users that the public is most concerned aboutβ€”β€”

As of February 7, the number of WeChat subscribers has risen from 220 million to 480 million.

The total has doubled, and the number of users is close to QQ, the first social software in China that has been operating for more than ten years.

In terms of the number of cards tied to Weixin Pay, it has also swelled from about 8 million to 250 million.

It can be said that the fish jumped into the dragon gate, soared into the sky, and became a blockbuster.

Originally, the outside world has been speculating about how much the data increase brought by the red envelopes of the Spring Festival Gala on WeChat News has been increasing, and it has been more than a week since the Spring Festival, and the discussion of related issues has always been high.

But compared with some normal and even radical speculations, the data provided by Weixin is obviously more explosive, and it suddenly detonated the originally hot topic, swept the entire Internet in a short time, and once spread to reality.

Boss Xu, an entrepreneur who is only 20 years old, also appeared on the hot search again.

[It's really against the sky, I have achieved the results of QQ for ten years in less than two years, and I feel that this time I really have to change the dynasty]

[The stars are menacing, and the veteran BAT three don't know if they can stop this wave of offensive]

[The more intense the fight, the better, anyway, it's better than being alone]

[When I think that Mr. Xu is still a sophomore, I feel that this world is really magical]

[Mr. Xu, this is already the youngest richest man in the world, right? ] I don't think Lao Mei is so rebellious]

[The key question is whether it is good to start from scratch, although Mr. Xu's family background is not bad, and he is still in a wealthy place like Shanghai, but compared with other people who have saved initial capital by relying on their family connections, this is really a miracle]

[Who said that Mr. Xu didn't rely on his family? Didn't his mother return 50,000 yuan? (funny)]

[The 50,000 yuan is still earned by Mr. Xu and his mother on Taobao, I laugh to death, I don't know what kind of mood Boss Ma is in now]

[Lao Ma: I actually provided start-up capital to my competitors? I killed myself? 】

[Brother Xiao Ma is estimated to have a headache now, his housekeeping skills have been caught up, and the mobile game market has begun to rise, feeling more dangerous than Ali's situation]

[One or two are giants, where is it so easy to fall? At most, it's just a few more stars in the market competition to grab the cake]

[Not to mention anything else, Mr. Xu, the golden beetle son-in-law, doesn't know who will be fished away]

[I heard that I had a girlfriend when I was a freshman, but I don't know if it's true or not]

[However, I am not a woman, otherwise I would have been able to warm Mr. Xu's bed]

[Brother has a dream to pursue, what's wrong with the man? ] What if Mr. Xu is like this? 】

[When I think of Mr. Xu being twenty years old, if he takes the stars to work until he is sixty or seventy years old, and survives until Lao Ma and their lives are finally dead, won't he directly become a domestic Internet leader? 】

【Where does it take so long?】 If we can maintain our competitiveness and this kind of fanciful propaganda, I guess in 20 years]

Xu Xing didn't care too much about the ups and downs on the Internet.

Long before his identity was exposed, he was mentally prepared, even after his identity was exposed, he only accepted three interviews that he couldn't get rid of.

Since then, he has been keeping a low profile in reality, and has never spoken out on public platforms on the Internet in his personal capacity.

Although some verified accounts on the platform have been set up according to the needs of the propaganda department, there is no extra content other than uploading videos of the previous three interviews.

At most, it is to send a circle of friends on WeChat.

Weixin belongs to its own one-third of an acre, but it is much safer and relatively more private.

"The project for "Mythical Return" has already begun, and we are currently working on the preliminary map and ten initial character designs, and it is expected that it will take about three months to build the basic framework and test the map interaction and character skills."

Gong Ao reported the situation on the side of Tianshu Game in the office after the year.

"The progress of the "Special Exercise" is the same as that said a year ago, and it seems that it is expected that by the summer vacation this year, the map will be able to be fully formed, and the debugging of the trajectory and recoil of the gun-sense shooting will also be preliminarily completed."

"Our plan is to start the internal beta recruitment in May, after all, the map of "Special Exercise" is very large, and it is a terminal game, and there are many interactive bugs, and it is difficult to find all of them without large-scale internal testing."

"And we don't have much practical experience in this area, so we expect that there will be about three rounds of internal testing, and the official launch will be at least next year."

Xu Xing was able to provide a plan for gameplay and details, but in terms of specific architecture and debugging, it could only be left to professionals.

After all, he was not a programmer specializing in game development in his previous life, and it was almost enough to be able to develop Fruit Assassin independently.

Large-scale terminal games such as "Special Exercises" or MOBA mobile games such as "Return of the Myth" are definitely not enough to simply have a perfect planning plan.

This is a relatively big test for the technical strength and execution of the company's team.

However, for Gong Ao's team, the biggest convenience is that they have a Mr. Xu.

Although the planning plan provided by Xu Xing could not make the game easily landed.

However, compared to other game companies, from project initiation to initial attempt, exploration, trial and error, a lot of time and labor costs are consumed.

The operation mode of Tianshu game can be said to be quite simple, almost linear progression.

With Xu Xing's plan to lead the way, they basically don't need to go through some dead ends that they might otherwise take.

For example, in the setting of "Special Exercises", players choose when to land and fly to the map from a plane on a random route to collect supplies.

In the battle royale genre before that, the player's place of birth tended to be random.

Such a change allows players to take full play of their subjective initiative in "Special Exercises", and it has been limited to a certain extent in the "Shrinking Circle" mode.

The various action strategies derived from this have well mobilized the enthusiasm of players in the game.

If Xu Xing's plan doesn't have these details, and simply says "to make a battle royale-type gunfight game", then the game team is destined to spend a lot of time on how to optimize the game setting.

And these saved manpower and time are huge development costs that game companies must bear.

That's why most games like to "borrow", because innovation means higher costs and risks.

Often, only small studios that don't care about the consequences, and large game companies with enough trial and error costs, are likely to make some brilliant innovations.

"The development of "Mythical Return" has the UI design and map design sketches provided by Mr. Xu, coupled with the mature mechanism of the MOBA game on the side of the terminal game, it is not too difficult to make."

Gong Ao continued.

"The real difficulty is still in how to adapt to the current mobile phone performance."

"Therefore, in the process of development, in addition to doing a good job in the game itself, it is also necessary to make corresponding performance load reduction design for mobile phones."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to have any game experience if you play one card at a time."

"Hmm." Xu Xing nodded, "There are some mobile phones of various styles to test, including the micron mobile phones we are currently developing." ”

"By the way, I will get in touch with the team over there to see if we can have some targeted designs."

"There is no need to rush these two games, and they will be qualified if they can enter the closed beta stage before next year."

After seeing Gong Ao leave the office, Xu Xing stretched out in his chair.

After replying to the remaining emails in the mailbox and disposing of the business at hand, he got up and walked out of the office, ready to go around the various departments.

Station B has now entered a relatively good period of sustainable development and expansion.

Especially with the blessing of "Million King Arthur", the revenue from this mobile game accounts for more than seventy percent of the overall revenue of Station B.

The remaining 30% is occupied by several other introduced two-dimensional games, and only a small amount of revenue comes from the rest of the business.

It's a rather deformed ratio, but it's better than no money.

After all, the cost of website maintenance and operation, as well as the money for buying the copyright to play dramas, can basically consume the income of the game.

Even though the revenue figures look good, the actual overall profit is still negative.

However, compared with Station B in the previous life, Station B is now directly backed by the stars, and the account is connected to WeChat, and it has got the "Million King Arthur" that should have belonged to the grand "Million King Arthur", injecting a shot in the arm.

Coupled with a round of financing just completed last year, Station B is thriving today, although it still seems to be a niche, but it is already a force to be reckoned with.

However, in comparison, the second dimension is not particularly popular in the environment at this time.

On the contrary, the live broadcast of Funny Fish, which was released from station B, has received considerable attention in just over half a year.

In particular, the concept of mobile phone live broadcast has completely announced the advent of a new era.

After the completion of a new round of financing at the end of last year, backed by the traffic pool of Weixi, the number of registered users has expanded rapidly, and now it has reached more than 40 million, competing with YY Live.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Xu Xing drove back to the rented room, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the smell of dinner.

When I turned my head, I found two figures in the kitchen.

"Vinegar vinegar?"

Xu Xing saw the familiar back and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Since staying at Xu Xing's house for a few days during the Spring Festival, and taking Xu Xing to Yan Hongzhi's house for a meal, Yan Chi Vinegar moved back from Yao Yuanyuan's house during the day today.

】

It's already like this, and there's no point in screwing it any longer.

Yan Chi vinegar just came back with his luggage in the afternoon, and before he had time to sort it out, he was dragged to the fresh supermarket by Xu Niannian, saying that it was to celebrate and he had to make a good meal.

So as soon as Xu Xing entered the house, he saw a surprise scene.

"Go wash your hands."

Yan Chi vinegar came out of the kitchen with the dishes and put them on the dining table, "It's time to eat." ”

"Just come here and wash it." Xu Niannian in the kitchen shouted, "Come and bring out this bowl of soup by the way." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Xu Xing took off his coat, walked into the kitchen, washed his hands, picked up the soup bowl and walked to the dining table outside.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, all of which are the specialties of the two girls.

However, when he saw the stir-fried pork liver, Xu Xing still twitched the corner of his mouth.

"School only started in March, is there anything to do in the last few days?"

Xu Xing helped the two of them pull out their seats, and then sat down on the opposite side, tasted the pork liver first, and then asked Yan Chi Vinegar.

Yan Chi Vinegar sat down opposite, scooped a bowl of soup for himself first, took a sip, felt warm in his stomach, and replied: "Preview some courses for the next semester, so that I can complete the credits early, and when the summer vacation comes, I still have to prepare for the remaining courses of my junior year while preparing for the graduate school entrance examination." ”

"That's pretty hard, too." Xu Xing said, and looked at Xu Niannian again, "You, how is the postgraduate entrance examination?" ”

"The results will be released in the second half of the year, and the national line will be released in March." Xu Niannian said simply, "Then it's time for the retest." ”

"The credits in school have been completed early, and now I am preparing for the re-exam."

"Nothing else."

The three of them chatted, and after a happy meal, Xu Xing was driven to wash the dishes.

After washing out, Xu Niannian had already gone into the bathroom to take a bath.

Yan Chi vinegar dragged the suitcase into the bedroom to sort out the luggage.

Xu Xing wiped his hands clean, reached the door of Yan Chi Vinegar's bedroom, and said, "I used this side as a study before, and there are still a lot of things in it, so I'll move it out." ”

"Notebooks and papers on the desk?" Yan Chi glanced at it, "Let it go, it's not convenient for you to always look at the computer on the coffee table when you come back." ”

"If you don't mind." Xu Xing shrugged, walked into the bedroom, and helped sort out his luggage, "How did you think of moving back?" ”

"Don't you welcome me?" Yan Chi Vinegar glanced at him.

"How could that be?" Xu Xing raised his hand in surrender, "I just didn't expect it." ”

"Temporarily." Yan Chi pursed his lips, "I'll go back to the school dormitory to live when school starts, and I'll come here on weekends at most." ”

"It's okay, it's good." Xu Xing smiled, "Then see you in the library?" I'll have to rely on you to review it. ”

"Big boss is embarrassed to say this?" Yan Chi vinegar squinted at him, this guy obviously has a question provided by the teacher in private.

"I just enjoy the informative atmosphere in the library."

"Huh."
