return to bolang life

Chapter 397 The Ups and Downs of April
In fact, Wen Liang entered a half-vacation state, which was good and bad for Bo Lang, or for Li Ze and the others.

Let me talk about the bad side first.

The soul of Wen Liang is on vacation, including Wang Wanyu, the pressure that every Bolang executive must bear is definitely multiplied.

This thing is not something that can be avoided by someone who has grown up, experienced it, and gained knowledge.

If you insist on being true, it all belongs to the scope of metaphysics.

It can be said that in almost any company, the presence or absence of the founding soul will make a big difference.

Even if Wen Liang spends three days fishing and two days drying the net, Li Ze and the others just feel less pressure.

But when Wen Liang talked about vacations, such as the annual leave before, Li Ze didn't sleep well for several nights in a row. There was no way, he was actually Bo Lang's second in command.

On the plus side.

Wen Liang was not in the company, everyone including Wang Wanyu had to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Wen Liang is not 'reasonable' sometimes, his requirements for some affairs are often based on a principle: fast.

money is not a problem.

Not enough people, not enough, not enough comprehensive, global recruitment, domestic all-round cooperation.

Not enough money, he went to look for it, and smashed it hard.

Not enough time, go away.

This is where he is unreasonable. He doesn't listen to the difficulty of development, just a word, feel the west and cross the river, tell me that you can't make it, try it?Are you less head or less legs?

Basically, once the planning plan is finalized, the end time point is considered loose by Wen Liang.

So occasionally, in order to cater to the appropriate business operation strategy, acceleration will be required.

This put pressure on Li Ze and the others, always worrying that Wen Liang would beat them with a whip.

It is understandable for a commercial company to make certain compromises when launching products for the sake of business operation strategies.

Anyway, this kind of compromise will only happen at the software level.

The big deal is to arrange the version later to solve the technical debt left over from the compromise of the business strategy, such as the most important software product Scode at the moment.

falls into this category.

The closed beta version should not be directly pushed to the market. According to the previous process, it is still in the state of internal test today, let alone the official version.

But now it is launched in advance, with online real-time feedback, and with a huge maintenance team and a large team of development engineers, it can be done.

After all, the test group has expanded to a global scale.

In addition, Wen Liang also has a problem. He can often throw out a draft of a new plan. It was fine at the beginning, but later plans cost tens of billions. Wang Wanyu felt that her heart might have grown bigger since she became the God of Wealth.

Therefore, if Wen Liang is on vacation, everyone can be more 'calm' in specific matters.

but……

Right now, no matter what, Wen Liang has already made his decision.

Moreover, after Li Ze had expressed his approval, Wen Liang added another sentence: "Mr. Miao told me that I am still too high-profile in the eyes of some people."

"My vacation can help some people relax and relax, so as not to accidentally get angry and make a fuss. After all, those who dare to say such things are already very old. We must care for the elderly."

As he said that, Wen Liang looked at Chen Jiaxin: "Here I want to praise Jiaxin by name. Mr. Chen acts steadily in Beijing, with a gentle style and a restrained edge, which is very good."

Chen Jiaxin: "...Thank you."

"Do I dare to make an extra statement? Living in the capital is like walking on thin ice every day, and I'm so scared. If it wasn't for you supporting me behind my back, I'd be scared to pee."

He was really scared.

In those few days, many gentle grandpas shook hands with him.

Among them is Wen Liang and his grandfather.

He's not gentle, he can't open his mouth. This is also a grandfather, and that is also a grandfather.

"Mr. Chen is too modest. You are the one who has been on TV for several days in a row. You are more popular than Mr. Wen. He has never been on TV once!" Tang Pu broke the stage with a smile.

Li Ze also echoed with his thick eyebrows raised, "That's it."

At this moment, Wen Liang had almost eaten, he wiped his mouth and stood up: "Okay, don't talk too much, you guys eat slowly, I'll slip away first."

They all reached the door of the box, Wen Liang turned back to look at Wang Wanyu, and said, "Auntie, I'll go to school to pick up Xiao Li Rang. The first grade of elementary school is not difficult anyway, so let's take a break from class."

Wang Wanyu: "..."

What can she say.

She couldn't be more clear, her own daughter, she doesn't like school now, and there is one main reason for it, she feels that her classmates are too childish.

But it doesn't matter.

In the autumn, I will skip a grade and go directly to the third grade. After that, I may skip another grade and go directly to the fifth grade.

Her vision basically follows Wen Liang.

When Wen Liang went a little farther away, he would take her with him if he could. If he didn't take her with him at the time, he would take her with him later.

With the difficulty of the primary school course work, it really doesn't matter.

In short... On the afternoon of the first day of April, Wen Liang picked up Li Rang from the primary school attached to the Huashi Normal University, and directly boarded his own private jet to leave Yangcheng, with an uncertain itinerary.

When you thought he was in city A, he might have flown to city B again.

Small planes~ As long as it is a civil aviation airport, it can stop.

A small number of non-civilian airports can also be borrowed.

…………

…………

Shortly after Wen Liang left Yangcheng, the official version of Scode 1.0 was released globally simultaneously.

From a technical perspective, this version hardly adds any new features, and it can be said that it does not solve the technical debt of the software itself.

The differences from before are:
Documentation such as the discussion forum for the programming language 'starlight' has been improved over the past few days.

Addressed some minor glitches with Starlight.

Solved some small problems in the process of using Scode.

The official version charges non-Stars developer registered members in overseas markets, a one-time payment of $9.99, which is almost impossible to use without payment.

The English version is launched on the X platform, which supports the development of apk software packages for Android and Linux platforms.

At the same time, Starlight'Starlight' on the English version supports writing apk packages-this is probably the biggest update.

at the same time.

The changes of Scode1.0 version in the domestic market are:
1. Open the star platform developers to register membership rights, which is equivalent to the rules of overseas markets.

2. Open Android development and iOS development in the custom platform, Starlight language supports Android development.

3. There is no charge for the official version of Scode1.0.

4. Standardize and standardize the docking process between Scode and Xingchen platform.

After the official version of Scode1.0 was released in the global market at the same time, the first thing that happened was the official release of the Facebook Stars version.

This is the first application officially released to the overseas Stars platform after the official version of Scode1.0 was launched.

Of course, public opinion will not let it go.

Overseas sand sculpture netizens will not let it go.

Ah San: "It seems that the rumors are true. Bolang and Facebook are about to reach a settlement. You can buy XingHai1 with confidence. After the release of Scode, the Stars Apps ecosystem will be complete."

Xiao Xiba: "I think Scode..."

Xiaori: "I know, it belongs to your country."

Ami: "So... will XingHai1 go on sale here?"

Poland: "I don't think so, because XingHai1 is not sold in Aramco. It has nothing to do with Facebook, but the relationship with the region."

"..."

There are also some good people's analysis of the relevant situation in the discussion.

It mainly focuses on when mainstream social platforms in overseas markets will settle in Stars Apps.

“Twitter and Facebook have already settled in, and some commonly used applications are also basically available, and major online social platforms in other regions are also available. Now the most mainstream platforms are inferior to Youtube and Skype, but compared to Youtube, I prefer range , Compared with Skype, I prefer QQ."

"I think Youtube will enter Stars Apps very soon. Range is too attractive and will increasingly eat into Youtube's market share. It is rumored that Google once proposed to acquire Range, but failed."

"In fact, Stars' more and more perfect ecology will further change the pattern of application ecology. It is easy to replace user habits with things developed at the bottom of the system, unless you don't buy XingHai1, and XingHai1 is hard to resist."

"The rise of a new ecology is a very good thing, with diversified choices."

“Stars are very friendly.”

"..."

Something like that.

…………

As netizens expected, on the morning of April 4st Eastern Time, Facebook announced a transaction plan, the company will purchase all Facebook shares held by BoLang.

Facebook has temporarily suspended trading due to the potential impact of the transaction.

This once sensational U.S. stock case is now causing another sensation on April Fool's Day, and Wall Street is naturally in a state of turmoil.

There is still some impact.

After all, Facebook has a market capitalization of more than $1100 billion.

The final result was that after Facebook resumed trading, it fell slightly by 3%.

Once again, some people in the market took some benefits lightly and left.

Maybe this is called a transaction.

Of course, Facebook will not remove the Stars version it has released just because it has reached a settlement with Bolang.

How should I put it, that would not only hurt Bolang's Stars Apps ecosystem in overseas markets, but also Facebook's own goodwill and user reputation.

This is why Bolang has always believed that as long as it wins at a critical moment, Facebook has no choice.

…………

This April, when Wen Liang left Yangcheng on the 1st and entered a half-vacation state, was not very friendly to many people.

such as……

Small changes in the gaming industry.

Everyone thinks that the LOL game is quite interesting. At first, there was an operation failure in Xiaoxiba. It is said that the construction of Xiaoxiba broke the cable in the computer room.

This happened on April Fool's Day.

Leaving aside whether it was an accident, LOL was not very stable in Xiaoxiba in the past March, and there are rumors that it is due to geographical influence.

It's all right now, people just cut off the cable.

However, the follow-up repair process has infinite quarrels, and no one knows how it can be so boring.

Then the national service also began to go wrong.

At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong, and they all got to the bottom of it.

"Who did the white goose offend?"

"LOL is not popular, it is not as popular as DNF, and it is not even as popular as Guofeng's recently released "The Return of the Great Sage"."

"Is there a possibility that it is because it is not popular?"

"Actually, have you ever thought that White Goose's character in some aspects is due to its cooperation with Bolang, and the part that has not cooperated has always been profit-oriented, and White Goose is a listed company."

"It can't be said that. LOL is not just an operational problem, but also a technical problem. It is probably the developer's fault. Last year and this year, we were not very friendly with Ami, especially Bolang took the lead in the charge, making it very loud. Now the BTI jointly built by Bolang and White Goose is also doing well, which will affect the interests of many people in overseas markets, especially the Aramco market.”

"I just found out that a client game "Master of Glory" was launched a long time ago. It is also a MOBA type and also has local elements. It seems that it has been prepared for a long time."

"I feel that Bolang may be very sensitive, or that Bolang has experience in responding to the Aramco market. After all, who would have thought that Bolang could directly manipulate Facebook's operations. Now this is probably the time to find the right time, but this Why didn't you promote the voice this time?"

"It's still in the public beta. I saw it by accident before. The picture quality is very good. After all, it is produced by Guofeng."

"..."

The transfer has already begun.

Since "Master of Glory" was launched, there have been more than 60 registered users one after another. This is a typical example of LOL suddenly having problems here and there.

Then, in mid-April, White Goose reached a deal with an overseas company and transferred about half of its fist game equity.

However, White Goose still operates LOL as an agent.

This kind of news always lags behind for a long time, and obviously this time it will take longer.

…………

What makes some people even more uncomfortable is that the content of BTI goes overseas.

Because the Panlong manga was a huge success.

In mid-April, the first episode of the drama version was officially launched. Fatty Wang checked it, taking into account elements such as commercialization and excellent production, and received a very good response in overseas markets.

At the same time, Fatty Wang arranged for Nezha's comics to go overseas.

Continuous measures have not only achieved great success in foreign markets, but also received very good feedback in the domestic market.

Especially after the first episode of the Panlong drama version was released.

"Fuck, it turns out that such a fantasy TV series can be produced now, the special effects can be so magnificent, and the acting skills of the actors are finally on the line. Finally, it's not love at the beginning!"

"Although, Fatty Wang's ability to choose a female role is really strong, and the absence of love will not affect her immortality~"

"It turned out to be someone of the same kind."

"Ashamed to be with you, I haven't read it carefully yet, wait for me to criticize and criticize."

"..."

BTI's content overseas is becoming more and more successful, and it can only be logged in through the international version of Xiaochengshu and QQ international version, which naturally drives the expansion of these two comprehensive overseas social platforms.

Naturally, some people are very upset.

Moreover, the model is similar to that of Netflix, and the difference in content has brought a lot of pressure to Netflix.

But the two companies behind BTI are richer than Netflix.

Netflix spent US$1 million on political dramas like House of Cards, while BTI directly spent US$15 billion on fairytale fantasy dramas with unique oriental elements, as well as novels and comics.

Netflix has only one word:

Gan!
…………

On the other hand, with the passage of time, with the gradual popularization of XingHai1 equipment in overseas markets, and with the complete set of supporting software environment, people are becoming more and more irresistible to choose XingHai1.

This is the 'reckless' in the initial era of the mobile Internet.

A mobile phone can be regarded as ecology.

It is not the later era that has become more and more perfect to the point where all kinds of electronic equipment are required to make people even more inseparable.

Nor is it the era when the content that can be supported on mobile phones becomes more and more abundant.

Now the richest content support system is on the Xinghai series, which has latecomer advantages and vertical advantages.

Apple is almost meaningless.

Because Apple itself does not produce content, the ecology that Apple relies on is the construction of third-party content manufacturers.

Bolang originally started from the content and has a natural vertical advantage.

Although the amount of research and development funds invested is not comparable to that of upstream basic research and development, which often costs hundreds of millions of dollars, it has not been less invested all the time. BTI has invested 15 billion US dollars in cash.

Not to mention the domestic market, Yang Yun and Xin Dai, the two vice presidents, have not completely completed the inspection and inspection of the application Internet ecology.

With that comes more capital investment.

Make the whole system more and more perfect.

Since 2013, there have been as many as 53 cases of strategic investment in the application layer led by the enterprise development and investment department. Unlike the previous investment and merger cases, this type of strategic investment can be understood as a superficial, or more precisely...

It is called: Bolang Application Internet Ecological Support Program.

It is mainly aimed at small entrepreneurial companies. After prudent due diligence, strategic capital investment will be made to help them incubate products better and faster.

The method is similar to Chengtou.

A form of VAM with certain terms, no holding, no participation in operations, no interference with its development as much as possible, and exit in a way that is more in line with the wishes of the entrepreneurial team at an appropriate time.

It is equivalent to saying: Bolang spends money to incubate a more diversified future, and earns some capital gains in the process.

After all, Bolang no longer wants to spare energy to expand the ecological scale of its own application Internet.

In contrast, in the past few months, Bolang has not invested much in promoting the industrial chain of the semiconductor industry and the industrial chain of the material industry, mainly to complete the coverage of the huge research project planned last year.

However, after entering April, Bolang began to promote more dimensional, wider and more complex research projects.

In Li Ze's words, it is to try to make sure that there is no money left in the account before Mr. Wen returns to work, so as not to say that they are not working.

…………

Of course, it's not that Wen Liang hasn't been back to Yangcheng. He went back on Saturday the 13th and sent Xiao Li back to school to catch up on her studies.

On the 14th, Li Bowen, Zhang Yulin, Zhao Mingjie, and Wang Zhiyi had a meal together after they returned from wandering abroad.

I slipped away early on Monday the 15th.

This time he not only took the plane, but also chartered a transport plane to take some cars in his garage. God knows what he is going to do.

On Bolang's side, after Li Bowen came back to share some of Sun Baoyin's pressure, Zhang Yulin returned to the operating system exploration laboratory, and Wang Zhiyi and Zhao Mingjie continued to work on various types of algorithms, all core projects were fully reworked again.

In terms of the operating system, many sub-projects have been developed. The return of Zhang Yulin, the soul, has pushed many sub-projects forward, and opened a lot of sub-projects in one breath.

Funds were poured in like flowing water.

In this way, the end of April arrived in a flash, and Li Ze started to initiate a preparatory meeting for a big event.

By the way, Li Ze called Wen Liang: "Boss Wen, why don't you come back and have a look at the company?"

A gentle and lazy voice came from the receiver: "What's the matter?"

"Developer Conference."

"Okay, I'll arrive at night, it's May Day, it's time to take Xiao Li out to play..."

PS: Whenever I think that I have reached a low point in my life, life tells me that it is still lower. For example, in June that is about to end, the inflammation of the five fingers of my right hand is very serious. I can’t cook by myself, which greatly increases my living expenses. Alas...

I will not insist on full attendance in July, so I will ask for a few days off
