Chapter six hundred and ninety first: If life is just like first sight
Huh?
The King of Shu - should be called the King of China now. Didn't he go to the Golden State?
Why are you here again, and why are you holding a meeting for them?
Everyone was puzzled.
But he still shouted respectfully: "I have met the King of China."
After Li Min greeted them with a smile, suddenly, a woman next to him greeted him:
"I have met the King of China."
This was a gentle and beautiful voice, and Li Min was very familiar with it.
Hearing this voice, Li Min could remember who the owner of this voice was.
Shangguan Wan'er.
It had been several years since I last rejected her on the ship.
Li Min raised his head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er has fully bloomed, like a blooming peony, gorgeous and eye-catching.
However, there was always a faint layer of sadness in his eyes that lingered.
Li Min smiled slightly and said to her: "Wan'er, how have you been these past few years?"
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Min intently, already crazy.
Since being rejected by Li Min last time, Shangguan Wan'er's heart has been broken.
In the past few years, she has been busy working.
I thought that some emotions could fade away in a few years.
Some people can be forgotten.
You can meet a man who can make your heart beat.
However, in the end, Shangguan Wan'er realized that she had thought too much.
In the past few years, no other man has been able to enter her heart.
She had climbed high peaks before, so how could she see those low hills again?
This time, she never thought that she would meet Shu King Li Min here.
In the past few years, she has actually been avoiding him.
She once thought that when she stood in front of him again, she could be calm and calm.
At the very least, be able to maintain a semblance of calm.
But the facts proved that she was wrong, very wrong.
…
Soon, everyone sat down.
Li Min directly ordered people to close all the curtains, and the conference room suddenly became dark.
The people who came to the meeting couldn't help but be frightened.
I'm in a big hole, what's going on?
Okay, why are you closing the curtains?
Next, I saw Li Min, the King of China, press a button.
Suddenly a beam of light lit up and was projected directly onto the screen behind him.
Then, Li Min turned on the computer, and the computer startup screen appeared on the screen.
Everyone present, except Li Min, had never seen a computer before.
When they saw the computer startup screen, their eyes widened.
This is probably another new product launched by China Commercial Bank, right?
However, when China Commercial Bank launched a new product, why did it call all these people over?
This is really difficult for them to understand.
After a while, the computer was turned on.
Li Min did not start the operation immediately, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, there are no other things or new policies for calling everyone here this time."
"This time, I want to recommend a new software to you. Next, I will demonstrate it for you personally so that you can see the powerful functions of this software."
Li Min's words made these people have strange expressions on their faces.
Is it because the King of Huaxia wants to recommend new products to them that they come all the way to the meeting?
Just because of this little thing, you called them all over?
Although they really couldn't get angry when facing the King of China, they still had a look of dumbfounding on their faces.
And then, Li Min started to operate directly.
"Everyone, please see, I can open the player by double-clicking here with the mouse. Next, I will play a song for you."
"This song was just recorded and has not undergone any modifications."
Goodbye everyone, this is what everyone does.
Of course he knows what Li Min will do next.
However, they were not very interested in Li Min's operations.
Just look around quietly.
Soon, the song, which had not been modified in any way, finished playing.
This song is an original song that has never been popular on the market before.
However, this time, it was obvious that the King of China was not here to recommend songs.
This song is really too ordinary.
Next, it’s time to fix the sound.
Hua Xia Wang couldn't help but open a sound editing software and began to fix the sound of this song.
I saw King of China pressing various buttons to make adjustments while playing.
Then, it only took half an hour to fix one song.
When it was played again, everyone present was stunned.
This song is completely different from before it was revised.
The difference is really huge.
All the flaws from the first playback are gone.
The voice becomes ethereal and sweet!
This, this is really incredible!
You know, when they recorded songs in the past, they could only listen to them live.
Next time, I have to sing it over and over again and adjust it again and again.
Not to mention the time and effort involved, there are often some flaws that may not be noticeable at the time.
But after the production was completed, I discovered it again. What should I do at this time?
But now with this thing, everything has changed.
At that time, as long as you open this, you can correct all the flaws.
This function is really too powerful.
If they had this kind of machine, how much trouble would they be able to save by then?
And next, Li Min demonstrated to them what is truly powerful.
It turns out that the function of this machine is definitely not limited to audio correction.
Even pictures and videos can be processed.
And it looks simple.
For example, you can change the background of a picture with just a few simple steps.
Or change the color, or even the appearance.
With this kind of machine, future shooting will be much more convenient.
They were shooting a movie with so many shots that it was difficult to collect.
Or the collection is not satisfactory.
So what to do?
If it were placed in the past, it could only be collected over and over again.
But it’s different now!
Once you have this kind of machine, you can adjust it through this machine.
The same goes for filming movies.
Now, their unhappiness with the King of China has long been forgotten.
It has to be said that after seeing the powerful functions of this machine, they fell in love with this machine at first sight.
Simply love it to death.
By the way, King Caixia just said, what is this machine called?
It seems to be called a computer?
That’s right, it’s called a computer!
This requires buying a computer!
Seeing the expressions of these people below, Li Min couldn't help but smile.
No need to ask, it’s done.
After Li Min finished explaining, some people couldn't wait to come up and ask about the price of the computer.
Then I learned that a computer with the software inside it would cost a full fifty thousand dollars.
Fifty thousand yuan, even in this era, is still a huge amount of money.
But for these directors or choreographers, 50,000 yuan is really just drizzle.
Next, almost every person who came to the scene came to buy computers one after another.
Moreover, you basically have to buy more than one of these.
Most of them purchase more than a dozen or even dozens of units.
You know, they are not alone, but lead many people around them.
Where can they use a computer?
After them, naturally someone taught them how to use the computer.
How to use the software inside.
…
Well, now, the market has been opened for court procurement and the film and television industry.
In the future, they will inevitably need to purchase computers.
And the last group is the white-collar workers and rich people.
For the time being, ordinary people are basically reluctant to buy computers.
After all, this price is really too high for them.
Therefore, the main goal this time is to target the wealthy people.
However, publicity has become a big problem.
How to promote it so that they will buy computers?
If we follow the normal publicity methods, the best way is actually to conduct targeted publicity to target the local tycoons.
In the past, they often carried out such propaganda.
But this time, Li Min didn't want to use this method, but planned to use another method.
…
In the various states and counties within the Tang Dynasty, many new shops have suddenly appeared recently.
These shops are all opened by Chinese trading houses.
The name is Internet cafe.
What is an Internet cafe for?
Now, Zhonghua Commercial Bank has become the largest commercial bank in the entire Datang Dynasty.
Especially after the aristocratic family withdrew its focus from the Tang Dynasty, their various commercial businesses also shrank a lot with their withdrawal.
The influence of the Chinese Commercial Bank in the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled.
Every move of the Chinese Commercial Bank touches the hearts of countless people.
At this time, Zhonghua Commercial Bank suddenly launched Internet cafes throughout the Tang Dynasty, arousing the curiosity of countless people.
"Shopkeeper, what do you do at this Internet café? Do you sell nets? Are you a fisherman or a netbird?"
Internet cafe!
As the name suggests, it must be related to the Internet.
The net is either for netting fish or netting birds!
What else can you do?
But, what kind of network is it?
It enables Chinese commercial banks to launch it nationwide.
Is this website that good?
"Well! This is not a net for catching fish. This net is actually not a net."
Well, in fact, the name of Internet cafe is not worthy of its name now.
Internet cafes are the name of later generations. After the Internet is available and people can connect to the Internet, they can be called Internet cafes.
As for Li Min, he was just too lazy to choose another name, so he just named it an Internet cafe.
The shopkeeper of the Chung Hwa Commercial Bank who is responsible for opening the Internet cafe actually has no idea why it is called an Internet cafe.
After all, they had never even seen a computer before.
There is no Internet now. If they could explain clearly why it is called an Internet cafe, it would be weird.
"This Internet cafe is actually a computer. You can play games on this computer. It's so fun!"
"As long as users with our VIP card of China Commercial Bank can play games here for free in the first month."
The group Li Min targets are potential customers with certain spending power.
The number of VIP cards issued by Chung Hwa Commercial Bank is not a small number, but not too many.
Only those who spend more than 300,000 yuan will have it.
And the VIPs who can spend so much money at the Chinese Commercial Bank basically have the ability to buy computers.
When these distinguished guests heard that China Commercial Bank had launched a new game and could play it for free for a month, they were immediately overjoyed.
"Really? You can play games here for free for a month?"
The owner of the Internet cafe responded with a smile: "Of course it's true, but in order to allow more people to experience the fun of the game, everyone can only try it out for one hour a day."
An hour?
Nothing is enough!
In this era, there are no electronic game products at all.
They just have a curiosity about computer games.
Actually, I didn’t have high expectations.
"Here, shopkeeper, look, this is my VIP card. Can I go in and play now?"
"Okay, okay, quickly, take this gentleman to play games."
"okay!"
Soon, a young man led the gentleman to the Internet cafe.
Inside the Internet cafe, there are more than a dozen rows of long tables.
On each row of long tables, there are computers placed one after another.
When you look at a computer monitor, it looks a bit like a television.
Of course there is a difference, the screen is not as big as a color TV.
Seeing the appearance, the distinguished guest was obviously disappointed.
What kind of crap is this?
Why does this computer not look as good as a TV?
Soon, a guy helped them open the computer.
After the window appeared, they opened one of the games.
"Well, sir, this game is called Huaxia City Cube. You can try it out first. If you don't think it's fun, I'll change it for you and you can try it first."
The gentleman, looking at this game, was a little confused.
"What is this? What kind of game is it? How to play it?"
The guy immediately explained: "Look, sir, for this game, take the mouse and move it here, and there will be a start button."
"Click the start button and the game will start. Then you see, a material like this has appeared. We can change its shape and wait for it to fall to the ground at the bottom."
"As you look, another material comes out. Then press this to change its shape. Finally, it will fall down."
"When the next row is all solid, this row will be eliminated directly, and then you will get a hundred points."
"Of course, if you don't put it properly, the wall will keep rising. When it reaches the top, the game will be over."
"And the speed at which this material comes out is getting faster and faster."
After the waiter finished explaining, the man's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Huh? This is so fun! There is actually such a game?"
At that moment, he couldn't wait to grab the mouse from the clerk's hand, and then started playing the game of Huaxia City Cubes.
Well, this game is certainly not Li Min's original creation.
It is the Tetris of later generations.
Of course, in this life, there is not even Russia.
Even more so is the name Tetris.
Therefore, Li Min changed the name of the game to Huaxia City Cube.
This can be regarded as an indirect promotion of Huaxia City.
That man, he had never touched a computer before.
Where is the mouse used?
He held the mouse with his hand and moved it desperately, but the mouse just couldn't move to the position he wanted on the game screen.
Well, actually this game can be played without a mouse.
But it was the first time for him to play this, and everything was unfamiliar and he couldn't take care of it at all.
I was in a hurry and hung up after a while.
The man yelled angrily, then clicked start and continued the game.
In the Internet cafe, people began to be attracted one after another.
These people who came in were not in a hurry to play the game.
Instead, he stood behind the first man and watched with interest.
The game Huaxia City Cube is a very simple and easy-to-play game.
It’s not difficult to get started and you can understand it at a glance.
After watching it for a while, you will understand what is going on.
"This, this, put it here! It would be nice to put it here!"
"Transformation, transformation, oh, how did you do it? Why don't you transform?"
"You can do it, will you come?"
"And, I'll do it, I'll do it! Shopkeeper, please open a machine for me, just the one next to him."
Those watching the excitement are simply more excited than those playing games.
Standing behind and giving directions.
Then, the two started to quarrel and get angry.
"Haha, look, look, you are not as good as me!"
"I still scored more than 3,000 points, what about you? You failed without even scoring a single point! You still have the nerve to blame me?"
"Hmph! Didn't I just get started with this? If you give me a few games, I'll be much better at keeping it than you!"
At the beginning, the Internet cafe was not very popular and not many people came.
And as a few people came in, they started arguing and arguing. After it became popular, more and more people came in.
Most of the people who came in chose to wait and see.
And the game Huaxia City Cube is really attractive.
After watching it for a while, I became fascinated without even realizing it.
After being obsessed with it, where can you not turn on a machine and play games?
Therefore, there are more and more people in Internet cafes, and their popularity is becoming more and more popular.
Of course, not everyone likes to play Huaxia City Cubes.
"Shopkeeper, are there any other games?"
"Yes! It must be there!"
"Sir, look at this, this game is called Super Mario, you can try it out!"
Well, this Super Mario is the Super Mario of later generations.
It’s the Super Mario who eats mushrooms and grows up to be healthy, lifts bricks and steps on turtles and lives forever.
This game, like Tetris, is almost the same game that became popular all over the world in later generations.
Its appeal is, of course, needless to say.
As soon as you start playing, you will soon become addicted.
The entire Internet cafe was quickly filled with people.
And it’s not just these two games here.
There are also many stand-alone games!
There are actually shooting games inside.
Well, in this era, guns haven’t even been manufactured yet, and shooting games have come out first.
However, although they have never seen a gun, it does not prevent them from getting started quickly.
After all, even in the later days when arcades were popular, few children who played shooting games had actually seen a gun.
In addition to these, there are also Plants vs. Zombies games.
In short, Li Min borrowed seven or eight of the simple and classic games from later generations.
These games have all been tested by the market and are all extremely fun.
Have these second-generation ancestors of the Tang Dynasty ever seen this?
After playing this game, I couldn't help but become addicted and couldn't stop at all.
However, everyone only has two hours.
Two hours seemed like a long time.
But when it comes to playing games, it only takes a blink of an eye.
Before you know it, two hours are up.
"Mr. Lang, I'm sorry, your time is up, please get off the plane."
"Hey, are you kidding me? It's been two hours! I just sat down, how could it be that it's already time?"
"Lang Jun, it's really time. If you don't believe it, can you check the time yourself?"
"I'm so excited! Is it really the time? How could it go by so fast?"
"Oh, don't rush, don't rush, let me play for another two hours!"
"Lang Jun, no, you only have two hours a day."
"What a shame! Can't I just give you some money? Tell me, how much is it?"
"Mr. Lang, there is no charge for this month! Everyone can only play for two hours a day. This is the rule above. Don't make it difficult for me!"
"Hmph! How stingy!"
Anyone who can sit down and play is a VIP.
These people are basically either rich or noble.
The tempers of these second-generation ancestors are not small.
However, no one has ever dared to act wild on the territory of Huaxia Commercial Bank.
The reputation of China Commercial Bank is really too great.
Not to mention them, even their parents would not dare to act wild here again.
Therefore, although they were extremely reluctant to let go, they still stood up reluctantly.
As soon as he stood up, someone immediately stood up next to him.
There are two to three hundred computers in this Internet cafe.
This scale is already relatively large.
But now, it is full of people, and there are many people standing behind, either eagerly or watching happily.
Of course, the people standing inside are not necessarily VIPs.
The reason why Li Min decided that only customers with VIP cards could play for free for two hours was because he wanted to sell computers to them.
But in the future, it may not be these people who come to play in Internet cafes.
Therefore, all those sitting and playing now have VIP cards.
And most of the people watching from the back don’t have VIP cards.
They can watch, but they can't sit down and play.
As for the gentleman, after he stood up, he watched others playing, feeling anxious and itchy.
I couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper, you can only play for two hours a day in this Internet cafe. Do you need to sell your computer?"
In his view, computers are probably not possible.
People open Internet cafes just to make money, right?
The first month is free, which is to attract customers.
There will definitely be charges in the future.
In this case, how can it be possible to sell computers to external parties?
But what he didn't expect was that the shopkeeper said without much hesitation: "Sell it, of course!"
