In Xinlang Building, Chu Xuan had just taken the elevator up from the underground parking lot and happened to meet Mr. Cao who had also arrived on this floor.
"CEO Cao."
The two shook hands and walked side by side to Longyou Information Technology Company.
"Have Mr. Liu and the others settled down well in America?" Mr. Cao asked casually.
"Settled." Chu Xuan nodded.
"If you need help with anything, just ask," Mr. Cao said enthusiastically.
Chu Xuan nodded: "Okay, thank you Mr. Cao first."
As the persons in charge of the web game platform, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going abroad for more than half a month during the development of the platform, so they naturally wanted to inform them in advance.
With the complete demand analysis report in hand, Mr. Cao didn't say anything and came over from time to time to check on the situation while staying in his own company.
"The development progress is still very impressive. After the theme framework and functions are designed, we can discuss cooperation with Alipay." Mr. Cao opened the door of the company.
Chu Xuan followed and walked into the company: "I'll leave it to Mr. Cao then."
Mr. Cao nodded slightly and walked side by side with Chu Xuan: "We can't give Alipay users for free. We have to make Mr. Ma spit out something. What do Mr. Chu think?"
Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "Cooperation is about a win-win situation, and what you put in will naturally lead to rewards."
Mr. Cao nodded with a smile, stopped talking about this topic, and walked to the office area with Chu Xuan.
Mr. Zhao, the project director, saw the two bosses coming and stood up from his chair to greet them.
The two parties said hello, and the three of them started wandering around the company, looking left and right at the office conditions on the computer screens in each work area.
"Is this the rebate module?" Chu Xuan stood behind a technical developer and looked at the page on the computer screen.
"Yes, Mr. Chu." Mr. Zhao replied.
"Can you see how it works?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao patted the technician on the shoulder. The technician also heard Chu Xuan's words and knew the meaning of being patted on the shoulder, so he started operating in front of them.
In Chu Xuan's eyes, first register an account, which will automatically generate an exclusive invitation code, and then register an account and fill in the invitation code, and the two accounts will automatically be associated.
Under the operation of the technical staff, the second account simulated a recharge of 10,000 yuan, but when the wallet interface of the first account was opened, the account had a distribution and withdrawal limit of 1,500 yuan.
"1.50% profit margin." Chu Xuan said, taking the tea handed over by the girl at the front desk.
Mr. Cao also took a cup of tea and said: "Don't look at the small number of 1.50. Once someone invites many users and there are many recharge players among the users, then this person can make money while lying down."
Chu Xuan and Mr. Zhao nodded. As long as they attract enough people, the users who attract people will probably earn income every day. They are indeed making money while lying down.
"Mr. Chu's idea is really good. This model is an excellent feature of our platform that improves user stickiness." Mr. Zhao praised.
Chu Xuan looked at the computer screen, crossed his arms and said, "If we can use this function to form an organized team, the efficiency of recruiting people will be greatly improved."
Mr. Cao raised his eyebrows and became interested: "Mr. Chu, what do you have in mind?"
Mr. Zhao also looked at Chu Xuan. Mr. Chu's creativity was really good. He didn't know what ideas he had thought of at this moment.
"Game guild." Chu Xuan looked at the two of them: "We can invite and support multiple game guilds and let the game guilds attract users."
"Isn't there a saying in Shengda's "Legend" that goes, 'No brothers, no legend'? This sentence also represents the passion and emotion of playing games as a team, which is what many players like."
"Among the first batch of games we developed, there are also several national war games, so settling in as a game guild will not only bring activity, but also stimulate the potential of users to recharge."
Mr. Zhao thought thoughtfully and then nodded slowly: "Mr. Chu is right. In our profitable function, the efficiency of recruiting people by relying on individual people is definitely far less attractive than the game guild."
He looked at Chu Xuan: "I have written down what Chu Xuan said. The other bosses and I will think about it first, and then we will have a meeting to make a plan."
Chu Xuan nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"This is indeed a good idea." After thinking for a while, Mr. Cao also felt that Chu Xuan's idea was good, but there was still one flaw.
He said: "There are currently three gathering places for game guilds, one is QQ group, the other is YY Voice, and the third is social networking sites such as game forums, post bars, and micro-entertainment."
He continued: "QQ group has Penguin, so we won't consider it; game forums and so on, we also have Micro Entertainment, so we won't consider it; I think we can build a software like YY Voice to further increase the viscosity of the platform."
Mr. Cao looked at Chu Xuan: "Mr. Chu, how are you? You should know the YY voice, right?"
Chu Xuan thought for a moment, YY Voice is the first generation of domestic social software that can communicate by voice.
He didn't know when it came out, but when he and Liu Yifei were still researching web games last year, they knew that this software already existed in the market.
Moreover, the current YY Voice can be said to have the largest concentration of game guilds, especially "Legend", which has the largest concentration of game guilds.
Whenever Sabak is played, a shouting conductor will shout loudly in the channel and play exciting background music, which will make the players feel very passionate and give them a sense of belonging to the guild.
And as long as it can attract players, it will be beneficial to their web game platform.
Mr. Cao said that they would develop a software similar to YY Voice. Chu Xuan thought this was a pretty good idea.
When the time comes, our own web game platform will even have exclusive voice software, which will indeed improve user retention rates.
Chu Xuan looked at Mr. Cao and was about to agree, but suddenly he thought of something and fell into deep thought again.
Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhao raised their eyebrows. Seeing that Chu Xuan looked thoughtful, they were speechless and did not disturb him.
Chu Xuan's thoughts were flying, and the memory in his mind combined with the current reality made him suddenly think of a golden idea.
It is good to develop a voice software like YY that can improve user retention rate, but its use should not stop there.
In a few years, when 3G networks will be rolled out across the country and smartphones will be widely used, this will be the beginning of the booming development of APP applications.
At that time, if a software similar to YY Voice is turned into an APP, wouldn't it develop into Douyin?
He doesn't know exactly how high the commercial value of Douyin is, but it is high anyway, but what he cares about is not Douyin.
Douyin is a short video field and a window for Internet promotion.
Micro-entertainment is a social networking site and also a promotional window.
Regardless of the value of these two, the publicity window is what he cares about most.
Today's publicity is still mainly offline. With the development of the Internet, online publicity will be the only one in the future.
If these two major publicity windows are in hand, wouldn't the Brilliant Era be even more invincible?
However, if Douyin is launched and Weiyu competes with Weibo, the two will be absolutely competitive in his memory.
Therefore, if Douyin is launched, it will inevitably compete with Weiyu, which is equivalent to beating itself up.
"but……"
"What if we combine Douyin and Weiyu to create an app? Wouldn't this be explosive? Will Weiyu become the absolute leader in the unshakable industry?" Chu Xuan thought about it for a while, although it was just a vague idea.
It’s an idea, but it’s feasible if we start planning now.
However, he is only a shareholder of Weiyu now, not Xinlang. He keeps this idea in mind for the time being and will discuss it with Mr. Cao after Weiyu and Xinlang are merged and listed and become a shareholder with a say.
"Mr. Cao's idea is good, but the current focus is on the web game platform. Once the platform is developed, we will discuss the voice software. What do you think, Mr. Cao?" Chu Xuan said.
Mr. Cao nodded and acknowledged: "The platform is the top priority, and we will talk about the voice software later."
After seeing the two bosses finish talking, Mr. Zhao also wrote down the key points and will make a plan when he has time.
After walking around the company for a few times and looking at the development progress with Mr. Cao, Chu Xuan said goodbye and left.
After taking the elevator downstairs, Chu Xuan arrived at the first floor and walked out of the elevator door. He took out his mobile phone and called Tang Jili.
Tang Ji Li has its own screenwriter team, which is a veteran team that has served Chenglong Films for more than ten years and is concentrated in the company of Tang Ji Li in Xiangjiang.
Chu Xuan called to inquire about the situation, but learned that it would still take a few days.
At this point, Chu Xuan gave up for the time being and could only wait patiently.
I got home, played on the computer for a while, went to Sister Hua's house for dinner in the evening, and then went home to sleep.
Without Liu Yifei's company, Chu Xuan's life has become simpler. Basically, it is a two-point rhythm between home and work, and he tries to find things to do to enrich himself.
Whenever the moonlight falls and the morning sun rises, it is the time that Chu Xuan looks forward to the most. Talking to Liu Yifei. Although the call is not long enough, he always feels at ease and comfortable.
In such a simple life, time passes day by day.
That day, a phone call came.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, come to my house to eat spicy hotpot."
In the living room on the first floor of the big villa, Chu Xuan is sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his legs. There is a document on the computer screen. He slides the touch panel of the laptop with his left hand to browse the document, and holds the mobile phone to his ear with his right hand to answer the call.
Su Chang's phone number.
"Eating spicy hotpot at your house?" Chu Xuan was surprised: "What the hell?"
"Oops, "Zhu Xian" started airing today, and you, the producer, have forgotten all your own work!" Su Chang's voice came from the other end of the phone complaining.
Chu Xuan was startled and looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen. Unknowingly, it was Friday, April 6th. It was indeed the day when "Zhu Xian" was launched. It was also a week after returning from the United States.
"Time flies so fast." He sighed with emotion and responded to Su Chang's invitation: "Are there any king crabs?"
Su Chang: "..."
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Su Chang came to complain: "Have you ever seen spicy hotpot with king crab?!"
As she complained, a group of people laughed on the phone.
Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Who are they?"
Su Chang replied: "Da Xinxin, Zhao Xiaodao, Huang Hanpi, Luo Jin, and Brother Bo, are you coming?"
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Su Chang said again: "Your wife specifically told me to call you here. She said that you are busy with things every day and don't know how to balance work and rest. She asked us to hold a criticism meeting for you."
Criticism meeting...Chu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Liu Yifei heard that his life these days was two-point-one without any entertainment activities, so she criticized him for wanting to balance work with rest.
But Liu Yifei was not here, so it would be meaningless for him to go out and play alone.
Friends also have their own things to do. Although calling someone as his identity would probably give him face, there is no need to disturb his busy friends.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help him put the situation together.
"What time is it?"
"It's twelve o'clock now. Come here early. We're going to prepare the ingredients now."
"Okay, I'll come over later."
Chu Xuan hung up the phone and opened the chat software. It was noon now, and it was early morning on Liu Yifei's side. When he was hesitating whether to send a message, Liu Yifei sent a message.
[I’ve contacted you. Remember to go to Changchang’s house in the afternoon.]
Chu Xuan felt warm in his heart and typed: [My girlfriend is so nice.]
——New Haven, United States.
In the Yi Lai community, in the dark night with the occasional buzz of insects, in the bedroom on the third floor of the villa, Liu Yifei was leaning on the bedside, holding a laptop with her legs bent. When she saw Chu Xuan's reply, she put her hands on the keyboard to reply.
[It is a good thing for men to be busy with their careers, but they must also know how to combine work and rest, otherwise life will be monotonous, which is not good.]
【As you command, Queen.】
Queen?...Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and typed: [My knight, the queen orders you to pay more attention to your life in the future.]
【good.】
Seeing Chu Xuan being so obedient, Liu Yifei felt happy: [In the evening, you said there was news from Director Tang. What happened? 】
In the past few days, she had learned from Chu Xuan one after another about the situation of the platform, the situation of screenwriters and the situation of "Legend of Red Flame", and she also had a follow-up understanding of these aspects of her career.
But there has been no news about Director Tang's science fiction, so she and Chu Xuan have been waiting.
In the evening, and also in the morning on Chu Xuan's side, on the phone with Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan said that he and Director Tang had spoken on the phone in the early morning, and Director Tang also sent an email to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan said he would check the email and explain it to her.
It's noon now at Chu Xuan's place. You've been watching for a few hours, so you should have some understanding, right?
[The story line is established, and the core is time and space travel. 】
Liu Yifei blinked, time travel?
When we were having dinner at home during the Chinese New Year, Chu Xuan proposed the idea of imaginative science fiction, and she immediately talked about some science fiction elements such as future worlds, aliens, and time travel.
Unexpectedly, Director Tang's story was actually related to the elements she proposed at the time, and she was immediately interested.
【Are there any specific settings?】
[The past, the present, the future, and the past that does not exist based on the current characters.]
Liu Yifei frowned slightly, past? present? future? past past?
It's interesting, but I still can't fully understand it.
【What exactly does it mean?】
[For example, I was born on March 5, 1984, April 6, 2007 is now, March 5, 1984 to now is the past, April 6, 2007 and after is the future, March 5, 1984
Before the number was my past that did not exist, that is, based on the current situation, it is equivalent to the past of the past.】
Liu Yifei looked at the explanation sent by Chu Xuan carefully, silently reading and understanding the message.
[Oh, I understand, we did not exist before we were born, so it is the past. 】
【right.】
Liu Yifei continued to enter her doubts: [In other words, Director Tang’s story divides time and space into four stages, so what is the significance of each stage? 】
[Director Tang’s setting is very complicated, let me walk through it.]
Very complicated?...Liu Yifei became more interested, looking at the chat box expectantly, waiting for Chu Xuan's reply.
After a while, a message from Chu Xuan appeared in the chat box.
[First, whether you travel to the future or the present, the real time and space will be solidified. 】
Real time and space will be frozen?...Liu Yifei blinked, this was a setting she had never heard of.
[If you change anything in the past and future, the corresponding things in real time and space will also be changed.
For example, if you go back in time and destroy the Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Liberty in reality will disappear. People were killed by the destruction of the Statue of Liberty in the past, and those people in reality will die, and all related interpersonal relationships will change as a result.
For example, if you travel to the future and a car causes a car accident because of your actions, when you return to reality, the car will definitely cause a car accident when it reaches this point in the future.】
Liu Yifei was stunned, thinking about these settings. It was indeed a bit complicated, but it was also very novel and interesting.
【So interesting!】
【It’s a bit interesting, but it’s not over yet.】
Liu Yifei looked at the screen with interest when she saw another series of messages from Chu Xuan.
【Traveling back in time, we replace our past selves while retaining our memories.
Traveling back in time to the past, such as the ancient times when we did not exist, will trace our roots and replace our ancestors in the current era, but it cannot change anything.
For example, if we, as our ancestors, marry someone else and have children, it will be equivalent to changing our bloodline. We will no longer exist in the future, and we can only stay in the past time and space.]
Liu Yifei was full of interest: "This setting is a bit advanced, I have never heard of such a setting."
[I haven’t heard of it either. This is completely different from the foreign rules regarding time travel blockbusters. Director Tang’s rules are self-contained and have a relatively complete logic.]
Liu Yifei entered: [Well, Director Tang’s imagination is simply exploding. 】
[It’s really explosive, this set of settings is also very fun.]
Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly: [It is very fun. Is this the core setting of the story? What is the main line of the story? 】
[This is the core of the story. There is currently only a rough outline of the main line, which is probably: we go back to the past and change our identity, then return to reality to do something with the changed identity, then go back to the past to find the source of the aliens, and then go
Set traps for aliens in the future, and eventually return to reality and wait for the aliens to perish.】
When Liu Yifei saw this story line, her eyes fluttered: [Wow! Is it related to alien invasion? It sounds interesting. Such a story has never appeared in Hollywood blockbusters. I think it will be popular.
yeah.】
[It has the potential to be popular, mainly because it is very creative, and foreigners like such imaginative things.]
Liu Yifei was very interested, moved her hands quickly, and typed: [Yes, foreigners like creative elements. Have you finished talking to Director Tang? Has the company started talking to Yinghuang? I can't wait to act. That's right.
, what is our character design?】
Liu Yifei asked multiple questions in succession, obviously she was very interested in Director Tang's story.
[Brother Chenglong can’t leave for filming. He and Director Tang will come to Beijing to negotiate with me and Sister Hua in a while. After we have no objections, Sister Hua will go to Xiangjiang to meet with Boss Yinghuang to discuss cooperation. I think there is no problem.
Wait for my news.
The setting of the character is still very vague. After figuring out the complete main story, Director Tang will design the character according to our acting and appearance conditions, so don’t worry.]
Liu Yifei entered: [Okay.]
[Go to bed early, it’s almost 1 o’clock over there, so get some rest quickly. 】
Liu Yifei pursed her lips: [Then remember to go to Changchang’s place to play with your friends.]
【I’ll go there later.】
Liu Yifei nodded with satisfaction: [Wish our "Zhu Xian" a prosperous start.]
[Wish our "Zhu Xian" a prosperous start.]
Seeing Chu Xuan reply with the same message, Liu Yifei smiled.
【good afternoon.】
【Good night.】
Liu Yifei turned off the computer, put it on the bedside table, and raised her hand to turn off the lights in the bedroom.
She pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes, thinking about Chu Xuan and fantasizing about the science fiction story she had just learned, and slowly fell asleep in the night.
