On the fifth day of the winter vacation, with the help of Song Huaifeng and Shen Lan, Xu Zhe completed the whole process, including registering a developer account, paying by credit card, and obtaining a Dun & Bradstreet code.

Then on the seventh day, after receiving the news that Pingguo's official account had been approved, Xu Zhe released the APP on the shelves.

The game "Cutting Fruit" costs 0.49 meters - he feels that the quality is not as good as the original version of the previous life, so the price is half of the original.

The manual review of the APP took a few more days. When he finally saw the notice of Pingguo's successful listing from the official, half of the winter vacation had passed.

It was another evening, and Xu Zhe was sitting in his office with his laptop in front of him.

Shen Lan was across the desk, holding a stack of printed materials, studying—these materials were mainly game programming ideas, collected and printed by Xu Zhe from the Internet.

But compared to his concentration in school, Shen Lan was not very serious at this time. As she learned, she would peek at the teenager opposite from time to time.

The young man's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was indescribably happy.

Shen Lan suddenly asked, "Is the data displayed now?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Single digits. To be exact, the number of sales is seven. And this data has not changed for a long time from noon to now. ”

It has been two days since the game was released, and the total sales volume is less than 4 meters. This money is enough to buy eight or nine bottles of Coke, but unfortunately Pingguo's rule is that you can't withdraw it until you have 150 meters, so you can't even buy Coke.

The beginning of this venture does not seem to be smooth.

Shen Lan pondered the wording. She felt that she couldn't just say something like 'why is the data so bad?' because that would be too exciting. But with her understanding of Xu Zhe's character, he shouldn't like the comfort of being light and empty. It should be substantial, not too exciting, and preferably able to discuss the solution to the current situation...... How to say that?

Rao is an extraordinarily intelligent girl, and she doesn't know what to say at this time. But at this time, she noticed that Xu Zhe seriously typed the keyboard.

So Shen Lan asked with some curiosity, "What are you doing now?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Write a self-recommendation form. ”

Shen Lan: "What's that?" ”

Xu Zhe's eyes were still on the screen, and he said without raising his head: "Pingguo App Store will recommend some new apps every day, including games. They will actively pick some new games with highlights, but developers can also nominate themselves. Of course, this requires a good storytelling. ”

Shen Lan: "Storytelling? ”

Xu Zhe: "Being too introverted will suffer, and making games is even more so." You have to find something that makes people stand out and be able to tell it in a way that makes people shine. How to package selling points and how to write copywriting is also a science......"

As he spoke, he paused, pondered for a moment, and slammed the delete button.

So the paragraph I just finished was deleted and restarted.

Shen Lan couldn't help but shake her head: "You not only have to learn programming to make games, but you also have to make your own sound materials, and you also have to worry about the process of bank cards and account registration." Now, I have to write copy, isn't this burden a little too heavy? ”

Xu Zhe finally raised his head and stared at her, and said: "This is the way it was in the early days of entrepreneurship, the boss must know everything." You have to have a basic understanding that no one can help you. ”

Shen Lan: "The boss of a business also needs employees, otherwise, even Zhuge Liang can be exhausted to death." ”

Xu Zhe: "The average entrepreneur has far less work to deal with than Zhuge Liang. Of course, tired will be tired, but there is no way. For example, I, by far I am most satisfied with the program part of this game, which I wrote myself. I think the sound effects are average, because I'm new to this area, and even if I try hard, I can't do it perfectly. I find the most dissatisfying thing about art. ”

Shen Lan: "Art is the outsourcing part. ”

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but I can't be too others, because it's really hard to find a game model these days, and the cost is too high." I had to settle for 3D drawings instead, but the display was a bit worse. Of course, I could have suggested more changes, but a few more revisions would not necessarily make it better, and the cost would go up dramatically, so I had to make do with it. ”

Shen Lan smiled bitterly: "It's too late for me to study art now......"

Xu Zhe: "You don't need to study art, after the company starts to do it, I can hire painters and models at a high price." For us, the most important thing is technology, which is the program. ”

Shen Lan nodded, thoughtful.

She is now in her first year of high school, and according to common sense, she will be busier and busier in the next two and a half years, and she will not be able to relieve herself until the college entrance examination. But will the career of the young man in front of him still be as urgent as it is now in two and a half years? Will it be better to recruit more people, or will it simply go out of business?

In other words, if his entrepreneurial road collapses, he will definitely be in a particularly bad mood, right? At that time, if there were two gentle, lovely and lively little girls beside him...... It's hard to think about!

Shen Lan felt more and more that it was really necessary for him to join in as soon as possible, at least to be able to help him.

Then she thought about the information contest she was preparing.

If you can achieve good results in the national NOI competition, you can directly enter the top universities in China without the college entrance examination. If you get the competition in the second year of high school, can you use the third year of high school to start a business with someone?

And when she was in her third year of high school, Xu Zhe was also in her first year of high school, which was just right to ...... Thinking of this, Shen Lan showed a faint smile.

Xu Zhe: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Shen Lan shook the information in his hand: "It's nothing, I just think that these things don't seem to be too difficult." Give me a little time, and maybe I'll be back to work soon. ”

Xu Zhe: "Don't be in a hurry. My idea is that you should take a look at the first game, and I will also summarize the lessons learned, after all, this is the first time I have done it. When the second or third game comes in, it's time for you to help. ”

Shen Lan held her chin and asked, "Don't plan to hire other programmers?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I don't have this plan, I limit the cost very tightly. So let's say okay first, I can't pay much salary, at most one or two thousand......"

But before he finished speaking, Shen Lan smiled and said, "Isn't that already quite high?" ”

Xu Zhe was stunned: "One or two thousand is also high?" Well......"

Shen Lan nodded, staring at him with a smile on her face. It was only when he lowered his head and continued to look at the computer screen that the girl's lips moved slightly.

'Do you think I'm in it for money?' ’

She just moved her mouth and didn't really say it.

There was silence in the office for a while.

Xu Zhe's work has finally come to an end. He threw his hands up in the air and stretched out.

Shen Lan suddenly asked, "Do you want to play?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Forget it, I'm really tired now." And to be honest, I was in a nervous mood, and I didn't have the heart to play billiards. ”

Shen Lan: "Isn't that more in need of entertainment activities to let you relax?" ”

Xu Zhe: "The air in the billiard hall is not very good, I would rather take a walk outside and blow the cold wind." Alright, let's go, eat something first, and then I'll send you home. ”

Shen Lan smiled lightly: "I can send you home." ”

She had already realized that she still didn't know the precise address of his house, so how could this work?
