Chapter 357: Back to the Past
After the Spring Festival, Yan Chi Vinegar moved back to rent.
The three of them returned to the familiar environment they were in at the beginning, but some things have not changed, and some things have changed.
Things in Xu Xing's company are still busy, and there is usually no extra time to stay at home.
So during the winter vacation, more often than not, Yan Chi Vinegar and Xu Niannian get along in the house.
Compared with the threesome where Xu Xing was present, when the two girls were alone, the atmosphere was not so stagnant.
Originally, Yan Chi Vinegar would still nest in the room to preview his homework, but he saw Xu Niannian lying on the coffee table, placing re-examination materials and drinks and snacks, and watching TV on the sofa when he was tired.
So after receiving the invitation, Yan Chi Vinegar also moved to the living room to study.
So much so that the learning efficiency is directly halved, but the fun is surged.
If you don't consider Xu Xing, a third-party factor, those two people can indeed become very good girlfriends.
"What's for dinner?"
Xu Niannian was lying on the sofa with her legs crossed, because the air conditioner was turned on in the living room, she was dressed quite coolly, dangling in the air with bare feet, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
Yan Chi Vinegar was immersed in hard reading, and on the coffee table were the textbooks and exercise books she borrowed from the school library.
Hearing what Xu Niannian said, she stopped her pen and raised her face to think for a while: "I've been cooking lately, can you make something relaxing?" ”
"Easy?" Xu Niannian thought for a while, "Then let's eat hot pot directly." ”
"Okay."
"I'll ask Xu Xing when he'll be back."
"Shall we go grocery shopping in the afternoon?"
"By the way, add some daily necessities, do you have anything to buy?"
"I'm running out of sanitary napkins." Yan Chi vinegar said, "I have to buy some more toilet paper in the bathroom." ”
"You also have to buy some spices for hot pot, I remember that there are ready-made hot pot soup bases in the supermarket, and there are several flavors to choose from."
The two girls chatted and discussed, and decided on the itinerary for the afternoon and the arrangement of dinner.
The atmosphere looks harmonious.
……
After living together for more than half a month, the three of them silently accepted this rhythm of life.
When the school year was about to start, Xu Niannian's written examination results were released, and according to the speculation of the score line in previous years, he basically passed the test steadily.
Compared with the written test, for Xu Niannian, the re-examination is simpler, and there is basically no possibility of being brushed off.
[Xu Xing]: You have to get home at about seven o'clock in the evening, and if you are hungry, you can eat first.
Xu Xing replied to the WeChat message when he was free, and then continued to devote himself to work.
In recent times, everything has been a bit uneventful, and nothing major has happened.
The most important source of cash flow within Qunxing, Tianshu Games has been developing projects step by step.
The previous old games were also running smoothly and continued to provide a lot of revenue for the company.
Although "Fruit Assassin" and "Escape from the Secret Land" have been online for a year and a half the year before last, with the continuous popularity of smartphones, the popularity of the two is still increasing.
And not only at home, but even in foreign markets can not resist their offensive.
Although several other mobile games are also aimed at the domestic market, mini-games for all ages, such as "Cut the Rope", "Little Crocodile Loves to Bath", and "Black and White Piano Keys", are quite popular around the world.
Mobile games such as "High-speed Rail Parkour", "Rhythm King" and "Myth Descends" have also swept the mobile game market in China, always pressing Tengxin mobile games.
If it weren't for the fact that the current mobile game market could not be compared with the terminal game market, it is estimated that Tengxin would have jumped to its feet in a hurry.
In fact, with the passage of time and the development of the times, the mobile game market will develop more and more in the future, occupying the largest piece of the game market cake.
It's the existence of any game company that wants a piece of the pie.
Now, as one of the earliest manufacturers to develop smartphone games, Tianshu Games has been continuously launching high-quality mobile games.
It can be said that in the world, they all belong to the absolute first echelon of mobile game companies.
In addition, the game center operated by Weixin, as well as various small game companies and studio teams jointly supported by Weixin and Tianshu Games.
Today's game center already has the capital to compete with the channels on Tengxin's side.
Especially in comparison, the game center conditions of Weixin are better.
In the past, many manufacturers also gave up the game center of Weixin because they needed more traffic from Tengxin.
But after the development of this year, more and more companies that have begun to produce mobile games are more inclined to put them on the shelves of the Weixin Game Center.
This led to Tengxin having to make concessions, no longer restricting the unspoken rules of choosing one or the other for mobile games, and allowing mobile games from other manufacturers to log in to QQ and Weixin channels at the same time.
In fact, for more than a year, Tengxin's game department has been following the games produced by Tianshu Games.
Including parkour, tower defense, audio games, and even cards, every time Tianshu Games comes out with a hit, Tengxin will immediately follow.
Although it is not good in terms of reputation, the traffic that can't stand QQ is still the top level in China.
These follow-up works can still maintain a fairly good level of revenue.
If you want to hype it up, with the current size of the stars, it won't help much.
So this year, the two sides have temporarily entered a rhythm of peace and quietness without intrusion on each other.
On Ali's side, Lao Ma accepted an interview from the media again, and generously praised the decision of Mr. Xu of the Star Group for the Spring Festival Gala.
"The action of red envelopes for this Spring Festival Gala is like the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in history for Ali."
It's a clever metaphor, because the end result of the sneak attack isn't very good.
This is also a disguised condescending hint from Lao Ma, saying that this Spring Festival Gala red envelope is just a short-term victory for WeChat, and in the long run, the final victory still belongs to Ali.
"However, the simple card binding data is not of much significance, the users that Ali has cultivated for more than ten years, the high-quality services provided, and the foundation rooted in the needs of the masses are not so easy to be shaken."
"Ali has never been afraid of challenges, on the contrary, I am grateful to Mr. Xu, a young man, for posing a competitive threat to Ali."
】
"Only the existence of such external pressure can force Ali not to rest on the credit book of the past, but to maintain a long-term spirit of competition and innovation, continue to make progress, and not be abandoned by the tide of the times."
Lao Ma's interview was obviously prepared.
At this stage at the end of February, the situation caused by this Spring Festival Gala was finally put to an end.
In fact, the reporter originally wanted to ask Mr. Xu of the Qunxing Group about the content of Mr. Ma's interview.
It's a pity that how high-profile Lao Ma is on the Internet, how low-key the young Mr. Xu is.
Normal young people have achieved such results, how can they not be like Xu Xing.
I always feel that Lao Ma and Mr. Xu are completely opposite in personality and age.
However, although the Internet did not wait for Mr. Xu's response, Lao Ma's interview content still saved a little face for Ali.
"Actually, it's not impossible to be interviewed, right?"
In the office, Li Zhibin sat on the sofa watching the news, and said to Xu Xing, who was sitting there, "It's good to say everything to others, this can be regarded as a kind of public opinion war, you can't be led by the nose on this." ”
"There's no need." Xu Xing stretched on the seat, "Things are done, not spoken, if he likes to say, let him say it." ”
"You're really calm." Li Zhibin sighed, "If you want to change me, you have to pretend to be forced to do anything, otherwise it will be so uncomfortable." ”
"Then I can arrange an interview for you." Xu Xing said with a smile, "It's good to let you have a good time." ”
"I can't." Li Zhibin waved his hand again and again, "Don't come to entertain me, I'll fly to Kyoto tomorrow." ”
"Then why are you still here with me, not going to accompany your girlfriend?" Xu Xing glanced at him.
"Doesn't this mean that you have to work as a boss, Sister Yuanyuan still has to go to work, so I can accompany her at night." Li Zhibin took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you give her a day off?" ”
The two men were chatting when there was a knock on the office door.
Xu Xing said please come in, and Zhang Nong, who was outside the door, pushed the door in.
When he saw Li Zhibin, Zhang Nong was stunned for a moment, then entered the office, closed the door, came to Xu Xing, and said, "According to your previous instructions, I will start to reorganize and expand the team after the year." ”
"Including first- and second-tier cities, third- and fourth-tier small cities, and even towns and villages around cities."
"But at present, the documents related to the QR code have not come out, is it necessary for us to prepare so early?"
"Just take precautions." Xu Xing said, "Ali's local push team is very powerful, and the accumulated heritage of Taobao for so many years cannot be ignored." ”
"If we want to close the gap between the two, we must be willing to work hard and spend a lot of money, and you must pay attention to this area."
"As long as the above documents come down, I need your local push team to be able to impact the market in the shortest possible time and seize first-hand resources."
"Is that what I said earlier?" Li Zhibin listened to them talk about this topic, and immediately became curious, "I was surprised before, many places that are obviously not for takeaways have also sent corresponding research indicators, which are related to QR codes?" ”
"It is also to seize the transaction scene of the online payment market." Xu Xingkan said simply, "Although we are also following up on water and electricity bills, property fees, etc., they are all following Ali to pick up candy and eat." ”
"What can really allow us to completely catch up with Alipay is to seize the opportunity in more untapped payment scenarios."
Even if it's a roadside vendor, a kiosk a few square meters in size, or a shoe-shiner and a singer under the overpass.
Wherever transactions and payments can take place, it is worth digging into payment scenarios with WeChat.
Filling these capillaries with the blood that belongs to micro-payment can naturally turn streams into rivers and sand into towers.
It's just that if you want to do this, the requirements for the push team are quite high.
Earlier, Zhang Nong led the team to promote takeaway across the country, and a team that had been trained in the market had already been raised.
But focusing on takeaway is doomed to a mismatch in demand.
It's like some small local promotion companies, some are good at campus promotion, some are good at office business promotion, and some are good at the promotion of comprehensive commercial cities.
In the face of different merchants and customers in different regions and different consumption scenarios, there will be corresponding different ways to push.
If you use the set of things to promote takeaway to promote WeChat payment, it is equivalent to carving a boat for a sword and a wood for a fish.
It is important to have corresponding market research and analysis, and then make targeted plans.
It would be a waste of time to wait until the QR code payment-related documents were sent to do it.
"In short, we will fully support this local push team, and a new company will be established to be responsible for the group's business local push, which will be independent from the takeaway."
Xu Xing said, "In the future, this local promotion team will not only be responsible for takeaway or QR code payment, but also other internal business of the group." ”
"My requirements are professionalism, diversification, targeted development, and you have to be prepared for that."
"Hmm." Zhang Nong nodded.
After chatting a little more about the follow-up plan, Zhang Nong said goodbye and left.
At this time, it was already approaching the meal, Li Zhibin glanced at the time, and then got up and patted his buttocks, ready to leave: "Then I'll go find Sister Yuanyuan first, what do you say about dinner?" Want to be together? ”
"What are you doing together? Do you two want to be a light bulb? Xu Xing glanced at him, "There are still people waiting in my own family." ”
"Oh, oh." Li Zhibin nodded clearly, "That's true, and it's still two people, it's really a blessing." ”
"I can relay this to Yao Yuanyuan and ask her if she wants to give you a good fortune."
"Say less." Li Zhibin glared at him, "I'm a good man, I won't mess with flowers." ”
"Bye-bye, good man."
After Xu Xing sent him away, he continued to finish today's affairs, and waited until half past six to get off work and drive back to the rented house.
……
"Coming back?"
"Finally back?"
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Xing received condolences from two girls.
Xu Niannian, who was still lying on the sofa, suddenly jumped off the sofa after seeing Xu Xing enter the door, "It's finally here, I'm going to starve to death." ”
"Didn't you say you should eat first?" Xu Xing glanced at the dining table and found that there was already a cauldron and an induction cooker over there, "Hot pot?" ”
"There is no atmosphere for eating hot pot, anyway, we have nothing to do at night, so I'll wait for you." Xu Niannian turned on the induction cooker, then ran into the kitchen, took out the soup base that had been boiling and kept warm, and poured it into the pot.
Xu Xing entered the door and changed into slippers and took off his coat.
Waiting for Yan Chi Vinegar to pack up his textbooks and stationery at the coffee table, he got up and walked towards the dining table, but was intercepted by Xu Xing halfway and hugged him into his arms.
"Hu ......" held the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and Xu Xing felt that the fatigue of the day was gradually dissipating.
Yan Chi vinegar couldn't help him, so he put his arms around his neck with his backhand and touched his head: "Sister Nian Nian is looking at it." ”
Xu Xing turned his head to look and saw Xu Niannian looking at this side with a smile, so after he let go of Yan Chi vinegar, he walked in front of Xu Niannian and opened his arms.
Then Xu Niannian lifted his smooth feet, headed him for the stomach, and pressed the person directly to the chair.
"Who is rare that you hug and eat."
