In the office area, dozens of technical department staff and customer service girls worked overtime at night.
These men and women were at their respective work stations, either chatting, walking in the corridor, discussing something seriously, or working on the computer.
Working overtime is a very embarrassing thing, but these people are a little excited, and they don't seem to object to working overtime tonight.
In addition to overtime wages, the company they work for is finally starting its own business, which is what makes them feel a little excited.
Some old employees know very well that the company has been established for almost a year, and its monthly expenses are nearly one million, but the company has no business and no income.
Although the company has the support of the giant Xinlang behind it, there is no need to worry about the company running away due to lack of financial resources, but Longyou is Longyou, and Xinlang is Xinlang.
After joining Longyou, a company where they currently live, they naturally hope that the company they work for will develop better and better.
While all employees feel relieved, they can also look forward to the future.
The company has been working hard for more than half a year, preparing things for more than half a year, and it will be launched after midnight tonight. Whether it goes smoothly or not determines the company's development, and is also closely related to their performance bonuses.
This made them nervous and very much looking forward to it.
Many people check the time on their computers from time to time, waiting for midnight to arrive.
Office, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Cao Guowei opened the thermos cup, and the steam of the hot tea in the cup rose up along the mouth of the cup. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. The hot tea in his mouth made him sigh: "When Weiyu was launched,
Mr. Wang and Mr. Chu also stayed up late waiting?"
While he tightened the lid of the cup, he chatted with Wang Jinhua.
Snow was falling outside the window, and the colorful neon lights reflected the snowflakes in the sky more clearly. Wang Jinhua looked at the night scene outside the window with her arms folded.
The cold weather can't stop the cars passing by on the streets.
In Beijing on winter nights, business in some entertainment venues and late-night snack streets is still booming.
"Micro-entertainment is related to the future and career direction of my sister and brother. That night we were so excited that we stayed up all night." Hearing Cao Guowei's words, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but recall the night when her and Chu Xuan's careers started. The two stayed up late in the office.
I feel extremely sleepy, but I just can't sleep.
The past few years have been so vivid in her mind that she cannot forget them.
Cao Guowei laughed: "I can imagine that you must be very passionate when you started your business at that time."
Wang Jinhua nodded slightly. The excitement between her and Chu Xuan was indeed very high. It was also a rare experience in her life: "If it happens again this time, everything will be fine."
Cao Guowei tightened the lid of the cup and said: "The Brilliant Era has Weiyu as a publicity window, and Weiyu's shares are also your capital base."
He put down the tea cup: "But most Internet assets are for value-added, long-term, and stable, and cannot provide a large amount of liquidity at one time."
He looked at Wang Jinhua: "The gaming field is different. It's about cash flow and timeliness. If Mr. Chu's web game plan comes to fruition and Bright Era has the dual help of value-added assets and cash assets, then it will really be a success in my country's entertainment industry. It’s out of control.”
"I hope everything goes well." Wang Jinhua nodded. Cao Guowei was talking about Chu Xuan's purpose, and it was also the consensus reached by the two siblings after Chu Xuan told her.
Micro-entertainment shares are the foundation, and using Micro-entertainment shares to cash out means shaking the foundation of the Brilliant Era.
But if Brilliant Times continues to develop according to the ambitions of the two siblings, it will require a steady stream of unpredictable and huge funds.
The web game platform is a plan that meets this condition.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Wang, it's time to start." General Manager Yao Zhongming opened the door.
"Mr. Wang, let's go." Cao Guowei turned around and walked away, followed by Wang Jinhua and left the office with him.
On the way to the office area, Wang Jinhua picked up her mobile phone and dialed Chu Xuan's number.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"No, I'm waiting."
Xiangjiang, hotel.
After learning that the plan would be launched after midnight tonight, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, who had been training for a day, endured their fatigue and had to wait for the news of the successful launch before they felt relieved.
For Chu Xuan, this is the starting point for the brilliant era to enter another turning stage of development, and it is also the beginning of his and Liu Yifei's prospects for the future.
For Liu Yifei, this is whether she can successfully become the boss's wife, whether she and Chu Xuan can truly achieve an equal basis for mutual achievement, and whether she can realize her dream with Chu Xuan on an equal basis.
In the dark bedroom, the young couple cuddled together at the head of the bed, with their mobile phones on hands-free between them, and they were quietly waiting for the news to come back.
Before midnight, the technician's voice came from the phone.
"Start accessing the server..."
"The network fluctuation value is normal..."
"Prepare to connect to the platform for the final personal test before going online! Communicate with the platform immediately to understand the situation! The server team is ready for data input and ready for monitoring! The customer service department is in place, waiting for calls from users at any time.
"
After the technician finished speaking, Yao Zhongming's voice on the phone came over.
"Mr. Wu, are you ready? It's up to you to keep an eye on the game."
"Mr. Liang..."
"Mr. Bi..."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei listened, and they also knew that the company was responsible for platform docking, customer service and game operations, while the three major game companies were only responsible for game technology.
At the beginning of this launch, the two need to cooperate closely and communicate at all times.
Just after midnight, I heard a series of voices coming from the mobile phone.
"17173 is online! No problem!"
"97wan is online and everything is normal."
"4399 is online, the situation is normal."
"2345 is online, normal."
"..."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei listened silently to the voices coming from them. Some of the platform names they had never heard of before, but when they heard that everything was going online normally, the young couple, who were slightly nervous, gradually became happy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "QQ space is online, normal."
"51 is online, normal."
The sound stopped here.
I just heard some people on the other side chatting with each other for a while, and then I heard Yao Zhongming say with a smile: "At 00:03 on December 31, all went online successfully."
"Oh!" There was a burst of cheers from the staff, and their excitement and excitement could be heard.
Chu Xuan hugged Liu Yifei tightly, and the couple kissed deeply for a few seconds, then looked at each other and smiled.
"You heard it." Wang Jinhua yawned: "I'm going back to rest. You guys should go to bed early. The rest is waiting for news."
"Thank you, sister." Chu Xuan hung up the phone.
Liu Yifei pulled up the quilt and covered her up, hugged Chu Xuan and said: "Go to bed, I hope whatever comes next will be good news."
Chu Xuan put the phone under the pillow, hugged her and slowly closed his eyes.
The fact that all three games have been successfully launched on all major platforms shows that there is no problem with the company's code module for connecting to the platform.
If you want to cooperate with the platform in the future, you only need to add the game entrance to this code module. This can also be regarded as the code template for the first generation of joint operations.
The three games are already on the market, the plan is on track, and everything that needs to be done and considered is in place. The rest can only depend on market feedback.
…
…
Guangzhou in the middle of the night is no more snowy than Beijing, and people walking around in the nightlife wear only thin coats at most.
In a temperature of nearly 20 degrees, under the illumination of street lights.
Xiao Qi listened to the sound of vehicles driving on the street on the left, and felt the noise of people eating late-night snacks at several tables outside the store on the right. He clicked the lighter and lit a Double Happiness.
The city was bustling and the evening breeze was warm, but he had no intention of sleeping.
As a programmer, I am used to working overtime all night, and it is difficult to have a normal schedule even during rest periods.
Xiao Qi went out at night and felt bored, so he thought of finding an Internet cafe to play games to pass the time, while also rediscovering the feelings of the past and reminiscing about the passion of the past.
I recall that at the end of 2001, when he was still in college, "Legend" came out and all eight of them in a dormitory found a common interest.
"Brothers, go to the Internet cafe at night and fight Woma! Steal the leader!"
"Friendly reminder, I have to check my bed tonight."
"I have someone in the dormitory management department, and I'm just worried about a phone call."
"Then let's go."
"How to go? The door is closed."
"There is a spot on the fence that was pried open by the brother next door, and you can go right through."
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
Xiao Qi chuckled, picked up the cigarette, put it to his mouth and took a puff. It was funny to think of the scenes in the past.
The eight brothers in their dormitory first entered college. It can be said that they became connected because of "Legend", and then they naturally got better and better at playing. This is also quite amazing.
As the game versions were updated from generation to generation, they spent four years happily sharing a common language.
It's just that after graduating from college, they went their separate ways and were busy with their own jobs. The passion they once had is no longer there and can only be regarded as a topic of conversation after dinner when they get together.
As a game enthusiast, Xiao Qi felt it was a pity. If the brothers could play a game together, it would be interesting to think about it, and they would have more fun in their spare time.
Just playing games takes time, a lot of time every day.
If you don't play every other day, you will fall far behind other players, and then playing will be meaningless.
PC games are also very inconvenient. It is difficult to switch between large screens and difficult to use in the company. It is very embarrassing if the boss bumps into me.
Due to many reasons, the brothers gave up this entertainment project.
There is no game without brothers, so Xiao Qi has not played games for a long time.
Even though the games produced by major companies have flourished in recent years, and the various gameplay methods are quite attractive, when he doesn't have much time, he only learns relevant information on major forums or micro-entertainment.
It was a day off these days, and he, who was used to staying up all night, suddenly remembered the feelings he had in the past, so he went out to find an Internet cafe to play.
As soon as the door of the Internet cafe was opened, an ancient "horn" sound came.
Xiao Qi's feelings immediately surged into his heart. He was very familiar with the sound of this game. It was the sound of a game called Rome.
There are many people playing this game, mostly older men and women in their thirties and forties. Young people are not interested in this game.
"Open all night." I swiped my ID card and spent six yuan to drive all night.
Xiao Qi walked into the Internet cafe area and looked around as he walked.
Some play "Legend", some play "Warcraft", some play "QQ China", some play "Hot Blooded Jianghu", and some play cards in the QQ game hall.
There are students playing "MapleStory", and there are also schoolgirls playing "Audition"...
Before he could react, he saw an aunt going straight to a machine. Sitting in front of the machine was a boy who was probably a junior high school student.
"Pa-" A slap hit the boy's face.
"Tricked me to sleep at my classmate's house?"
"Pa—" Another slap hit the boy's face.
"Your classmate's home is in an Internet cafe?"
The boy was so confused that he didn't even pick up the equipment that was revealed in the game, so his mother grabbed him by the ears and carried him away.
The aunt was very angry. When she came to the door, she scolded the network administrator: "If he comes to your place to surf the Internet again, I will report you to death!"
The network administrator is embarrassed. What does this have to do with him? Find a local Internet cafe alliance.
Although it is stipulated that minors cannot access the Internet, bosses always come up with strange tricks.
For minors who go online without ID cards, a large number of temporary ID cards obtained from unknown sources are provided to the minors. It is estimated that a large number of Internet users' ID card information has been leaked.
Everyone in the Internet cafe acted as a crowd and watched this scene. When everyone left, they sat down unconcernedly. It was very common for such things to happen in Internet cafes. They just watched the excitement.
Xiao Qi found a position in the sky and turned on the phone. This scene made him shake his head and smile.
I think back when he was in high school, he took a huge risk when he went to an Internet cafe and was extremely mentally prepared, for fear that his parents would find him and beat him up.
But now, seeing the boy being beaten and scolded just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority as an adult.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Qi moved his seat, turned on the machine and logged in to QQ.
In the past, people in Internet cafes would play games as soon as they turned on their phones, and few people would log in to QQ.
Even if there is, I won’t log in because it’s too troublesome.
Since Penguin has invested in South African capital, and with the vigorous promotion of Penguin United Internet Cafe, more and more people have become QQ users, and netizens have also become friends with each other. This has gradually made netizens develop the habit of logging in to QQ first when surfing the Internet.
habit.
To this day, the first thing most netizens do when they turn on their computers and go online is to log in to QQ.
Xiao Qi's QQ login was successful, and his online name is "Yanjiu Pi Ti Ti".
To be honest, he has been using his online name for several years and he doesn’t even understand the meaning.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s handsome, that’s it. If you don’t understand the main character, how can you call it non-mainstream.
Many friends imitate his online name, and he used to be very proud of it.
After logging into QQ, he opened the browser, opened Weiyu and QQ space to log in at the same time.
The social platform that Xiao Qi first came into contact with was the Tianya Forum, which was also the gathering place for the first generation of netizens to communicate.
Later, Baidu Tieba appeared and diverted services. He also followed the trend and had a Tieba account.
Later, with the emergence of micro-entertainment, netizens across the country saw for the first time that there was such a website that could focus on browsing all kinds of real-time news across the country.
Xiao Qi vaguely remembers the emergence of Weiyu at that time, which was very popular.
Various social games and personalized space decorations allow him to have a great time with many friends.
Since the emergence of micro-entertainment at that time, micro-entertainment has become an indispensable browsing tool for him every time he surfs the Internet.
However, he found that when he posted comments on Weibo, he would be judged by many unknown people, and he was overwhelmed with all kinds of strange words.
At that time, he asked three times: "What happened to these people? What happened to the world? Why are you scolding me when I just make normal comments?"
Since he experienced this injury and felt the malice, he has never expressed any words on Weiyu, and purely regards himself as a spectator.
It wasn't until the emergence of QQ Space that he found a place to express his feelings.
QQ space is different in nature from Weiyu. It is more like a closed dating space where friends basically browse and visit each other.
When facing a group of friends, every time he expressed his feelings, his friends responded with likes or normal comments, which made him feel very comfortable.
In this way, like many netizens, he regards Weibo as a place to learn about the world and QQ Space as a place to make friends and chat.
These two websites also capture the traffic of most Internet users across the country.
Xiao Qi replied to messages from QQ friends, looked at the news on Weibo, and then took a look at the news in QQ space.
Just when he was about to click on the "Grab a Parking Space" mini-game to get a good parking spot for his BMW, he suddenly let out a soft "Eh" and discovered an unusual thing above the mini-game bar.
""Three Kingdoms", "The Way of the Immortals", "Primordial Cultivation", this is a game?" Xiao Qi was suspicious. There was no such thing when he went to QQ space yesterday, but it suddenly appeared one night.
He guessed it was a game because the icon looked very game-like.
As a game enthusiast, I was a little curious because I didn’t know what game it would be.
With this curiosity, he chose "Three Kingdoms" and clicked it with the mouse.
Compared with the other two games, the words "Three Kingdoms" made him feel more familiar and cordial, and he had more desire to open it and take a look.
When the browser automatically opened a new page and jumped to the game loading page, Xiao Qi looked at the loading percentage bar and was stunned.
"This doesn't require downloading? Is it the same as grabbing a parking space or farming?" He muttered when he saw that the game seemed to require no downloading.
"Then this is a small game." Based on his experience of playing games on the market, he immediately thought that this was just a small game that did not require downloading.
Xiao Qi was a little disappointed. There was also the Three Kingdoms. The name was quite impressive, but I didn’t expect it to be a game?
Although he thought so, he still waited for the page to load to find out what the hell this was.
On the loading page, there is a blood-red battlefield background, with a man, a horse and a painted halberd standing proudly, and next to the character is a person named Lu Bu.
This background picture made him a little excited, and he began to doubt his own judgment, because he had never seen a small game that felt so grand to him.
When the progress bar reaches 100%, the QQ account automatically logs in and comes to the server selection interface.
There are ten servers on the interface, from [Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms Server 1] to [Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms Server 10].
Xiao Qi took the mouse and clicked on it, but it prompted "The server is full, please change to another server".
"Full?" Xiao Qi saw that the first seven servers had red marks showing that they were full. He was surprised: "Are so many people playing?"
He directly clicked [Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms 10 Server], and the page began to load, indicating that the entry was successful.
After a while, the page finally loaded into the main game page.
Xiao Qi took a look and found that the main page was a bit stuck and some pictures were still blank, seemingly loading.
Fortunately, the Internet cafe's Internet speed was good. After a few seconds, he was able to see the true face of the game, but the entire web page was blocked by a black screen.
Xiao Qi tentatively clicked with the mouse, but the interface did not respond. As an arrow flashed the cursor, he looked over and found out what other game instructions there were.
Game guide? This was a function he had never seen before. It was new to him and he kept clicking along the arrows.
He is also following the instructions and reading the introduction to understand the gameplay and functions of the game.
Until he followed the guide and clicked on the chat function, the appearance of the chat box completely attracted his attention.
"When was this game released? I've never seen it before."
"It came out at 12 o'clock in the evening. I saw it as soon as I entered the space."
"Is this game fun? How to play it? Please help me."
"There is a game guide, just follow it and you will be able to do it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..."
Xiao Qi looked at the time and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning. According to what the players said, the server had been open for two hours.
He looked at the excitement in the chat box and saw that there were really many people playing this game in the middle of the night.
Although he has never played such a game, his game awareness tells him that if he doesn't hurry up and catch up, he will fall behind.
He didn't stop any longer and continued to play along the instructions.
When the interface to select a country popped up, he chose Shu without hesitation.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel based on the perspective of the Kingdom of Shu. The influence from this book, as well as the influence of film and television dramas, has made the image of the Kingdom of Shu among the people more orthodox and upright.
Xiao Qi was also deeply affected. Compared with Wei and Wu, he preferred Shu, where Liu Guanzhang, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao lived.
"Who is the [Buried Love Flower] from the Wei Kingdom, and why can he attack our Shu city?"
"Damn it! This is a national war game! A function will appear at level 30, which counts down to 6 days for national war!"
"Real or fake? A national war game? I like it!!"
"It's amazing! I thought it was some kind of small game, but it turned out to be a large-scale national war game?"
“You don’t need to download it yet, just click it and play, it’s awesome!”
"..."
"A national war game." Xiao Qi said in surprise. He only knew that "Zhengtu" was a national war game. He didn't expect that this kind of game, which is easy to play and looks like a small game, could become as big as a PC game.
This kind of broke his understanding of the game.
However, he became passionate again.
National war means fighting, and fighting is the most enjoyable thing.
But there is a premise that it is fun to win.
Xiao Qi followed the instructions, farming to get food, planting trees to get wood, mining to get equipment and resources, etc. With many years of game experience, he probably figured out how to play this game.
But in the process of following the game guide, every time a function was unlocked, a money-charging module was unlocked, which made him stunned for a while.
Once the food function is unlocked, there will be a food fund.
Once the wood function is unlocked, there will be a wood fund.
And so on, hanging on the game interface and shining brightly, for fear that no one will notice these money-charging methods.
Xiao Qi ignored it for the time being and followed the game guide while groping on his own for two hours until four o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that the siege gameplay was unlocked and he could move freely on the world map, Xiao Qi became full of enthusiasm and controlled the team to attack the city of Wei.
However, as soon as I entered the battle screen and before I had time to feel the freshness, I was instantly killed by the opposite team.
"Why is that Wei Kingdom's [Buried Love Flower] so strong? I can't beat it at all!"
"I also want to say, what the hell is this guy? He couldn't beat him even after several fights, but he's still stuck at the gateway of Shu's attack on Wei. It's so annoying!"
"This guy has a general named Xu Huang, and every skill he triggers takes the whole screen seconds. How is this possible?"
"Where did his general come from? Why don't I have one? My generals are all rubbish, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. What the hell are these?"
"Brother, one more Zhang Jiao and you can become Huang Tiandang."
Xiao Qi watched the chat. He was also attracted by this person called Burial Love. He was still puzzled, but his chat was quite amusing and made him laugh.
The next moment he returned to normal, wondering why this man was so strong and where did that general come from?
He looked around the game interface and felt that there must be something he didn't pay close attention to.
He found a function and saw that you can get points by attacking a city. You can get points by killing as many enemies as possible. You can get more points by continuously attacking the city without dying. You can exchange the points for more things, and...
"Zhao Yun!" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up.
No wonder Buried Love is so strong. It’s all resources exchanged with points in this merit interface. That’s it.
Xiao Qi knew exactly how to play, and started to attack the city regardless of damage. After playing for an hour, he accumulated enough points, and decisively changed to Zhao Yun.
He replaced Zhao Yun on the field and tried again with Buried Love, but he still couldn't beat him.
But he already knew that it was because of the progress of this love-burial game.
However, if he is always in the lead, he will never be able to beat him.
what to do?
Xiao Qi recalled a point, retreated to the base interface, and looked at the two rows of glittering funds above.
He clicked on one to take a look. It was a strengthening stone fund gift package to strengthen equipment.
After playing for several hours, in his opinion, this strengthening stone has the greatest effect.
But you need to top up money, 328 yuan.
This is not a small amount, but it is within the range he can afford.
Xiao Qi silently thought about it. There is always a competitive spirit when playing games. The person named Buried Love has been blocking the pass and trying to gain merit from the players of Shu. No one has been able to defeat him, even if he died in the wheel battle.
That buried love will come over again.
If he could kill this buried love...
There is always a bit of vanity in playing a game.
Xiao Qi suddenly felt the urge and clicked the recharge button.
The page jumps to the Alipay payment interface.
"Alipay?" Xiao Qi was surprised, he thought it was online banking.
Fortunately, he has Alipay and registered it for the convenience of buying things on Taobao.
He scrolled down the page and came to the recharge area, but another benefit appeared: [New Year's Day gift, today's first recharge is 50% off.]
"50% off?" Xiao Qi's heart palpitated. In other words, 328 yuan is only 164?
He clicked to confirm the recharge, and the pop-up box indeed only showed 164.
"I like this." Xiao Qi smiled, decisively entered the password for verification and completed the recharge.
He returned to the game interface, collected the day's strengthening stone materials from the fund, and used them all to strengthen Zhao Yun's equipment.
After finishing all this, Xiao Qi took a deep breath and led the team back to Hulao Pass for another battle with the man named Burial Love.
Jumping to the battle screen, the result is that the team of Buried Love was killed in two or three blows.
"Garbage!!" Xiao Qi slapped the table and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"Brother is awesome!"
"Damn it, it's so embarrassing!"
"The love of burial was lost in seconds?"
“Awesome!!”
Looking at the compliments in the chat box, Xiao Qi felt that this moment was so refreshing.
