My rebirth is different

Chapter 777: Justify Your Name

Now Effie is talking about preparing to purchase servers in [-] regions, so the purchase budget will be as high as [-] million!

For any game company, this is not a small sum.

Moreover, Facebook Games does not only operate an online game like CSOL, World of Warcraft also has a high demand for servers.

So in the recent period, Facebook Games has become the largest customer of IBM's server department. Every purchase is directly connected with Facebook Games by the senior vice president in charge of global marketing at the headquarters.

Of course, because of Yuwenfei's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business unit, IBM is also relatively friendly to Facebook game companies.

High priority has been given to price, supply speed, and technical support, and the cooperation between the two parties is still very pleasant.

Another point to note is that Star Technology only acquired IBM's personal computer business unit, and did not acquire IBM's server division.The reputation and status of IBM's servers in the industry is no less than that of THINKPAD laptops in the field of personal computers!

Even more than that!

…………

If hundreds of millions are invested in it, and the revenue is dismal, this will put a mark of failure on Effie's resume.

Some directors of the company's board of directors should also have objections to her.

But Effie didn't seem to take these risks seriously, and continued to promote CSOL's free model unswervingly, even more resolutely than before the game went live.

Other executives in the company may not understand, but Effie knows that at this time, she must not admit defeat, let alone regret it.

CSOL's permanent free model must be successful, and it can only be successful, otherwise, my future will really be bleak.

It is not that she has not considered the risk of this free model before, but the great success of the 2003WCG Commemorative Edition skin box made her firm in her mind.

I think that in online games, launching this kind of free mode is feasible and will be groundbreaking!

In the game industry, Effie has just entered the industry for a year, although because she is in charge of the Facebook game, people in the industry regard her as a big boss.

Effie knows in her heart that others respect her only because she is the president of the Facebook game company, not because of her, Effie.

Perhaps behind the scenes, many people would mock him, saying that he was lucky, or even had some shady relationship with Mr. Fei, so that he could get from a college dropout to where he is today.

Effie's contribution to Facebook and Facebook games is naturally known to Yu Wenfei and all shareholders, but outsiders don't know much about it.

Because from an outsider's point of view, Effie really hasn't made any big moves, and her promotion speed is so fast that people have to doubt it.

In fact, Effie has been holding her breath in her heart, she doesn't want to be underestimated like this.

And since as the CEO of Facebook Games, she is considered a big figure in the game industry, then she has to do something that truly fits her status, so that everyone will remember her.

It should be a good choice to change the charging mode of online games and create a new mode...

Therefore, this time CSOL's permanent free mode is not only a question of whether a game can make money, but also Effie wants to justify her name!
…………

From top to bottom, Facebook games are busy with World of Warcraft and CSOL.

At this time, Yu Wenfei was a little free.

On February [-]th, Zhou Mengyi came back from the United States. Originally, Hu Jingjing said that she took the company driver to pick her up, but Yu Wenfei happened to be fine, so she drove to the airport to pick her up.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport. After a long flight, Zhou Mengyi felt a little tired.

Standing up from the large and comfortable seat, she stretched her waist, wrapped in a tight cashmere sweater and jeans, revealing her perfect figure.

There were not many guests in the first-class cabin, and most of them were greasy, middle-aged and elderly people with big bellies. A young girl in her early twenties like Zhou Mengyi stood out, and she was still single.

On the way, a middle-aged man sitting next to her wanted to strike up a conversation several times, and wanted to ask Zhou Mengyi for a contact number, but Zhou Mengyi politely refused.

He reached out to open the luggage compartment above his head, took out a small LV suitcase, put on his coat and scarf.

She took out a pair of large sunglasses from her bag and put them on. Zhou Mengyi was about to get off the plane.

The middle-aged man next to him also got up and took off his suitcase, and asked with a smile, "Going to the city?"

Zhou Mengyi nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "That's just right, my driver will pick me up later, and I'm going back to the city, why don't I give you a ride on the way. You don't have to wait for a taxi, wait for a taxi at the airport, It usually takes more than half an hour to wait in line.”

"No, someone should pick me up. If not, there is a free minibus."

He was so polite, Zhou Mengyi didn't want to be too cold, so she replied politely.

The cabin door has been opened, and the first-class passengers can go down in advance. Zhou Mengyi took the suitcase and walked out first.

The middle-aged man at the back hurriedly followed, and said without giving up: "The free minibus is dirty and messy, so how about it, if no one picks you up, just take my car."

"No need, thank you." Zhou Mengyi said without looking back.

Although he was rejected several times, the middle-aged man did not give up. He followed behind Zhou Mengyi, chattering about something, but Zhou Mengyi didn't hear clearly.

After walking through the long passage to the International Arrival Exit, Zhou Mengyi raised her head and took a look. She told Hu Jingjing about her return.

If the company is not too busy, someone should be sent over.

But if no one comes to pick her up, Zhou Mengyi doesn't care, she can take a taxi or take the free minibus.

Thinking of the free minibus, Zhou Mengyi thought of her father, didn't he just drive the minibus at the airport, he should have come back to work after the year, and I haven't seen him for a long time, so I should have a meal with him this time and chat with him Let's talk about things at home.

At the exit, Zhou Mengyi took a look, but she didn't see anyone holding a sign with her name on it, nor did she see anyone familiar.

She went straight outside, thinking that everyone in the company was busy and didn't have time to pick her up, so she could just take the minibus, maybe she could meet her father.

The middle-aged man who was following her also saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took two steps to catch up with Zhou Mengyi.

"What? Is there no one to pick you up? Let's go, my car is here, take my car back." As he said, he pointed to the side of the road, where a big black Mercedes was parked.

It can be seen that this is also a big boss with a wealth of wealth. In those days, it was not easy to afford two or three million Daben.

Zhou Mengyi grinned and shook her head, "No need, I'll just take the minibus."

The middle-aged man was about to say something more, when he heard a roar of "buzz..." mixed with the crisp "pop" sound when the accelerator was backfired, a moonlight silver sports car galloped towards him.

Hearing this sound, people on the side of the road turned their heads to look at the car. These days, sports cars are still relatively rare, so when encountering them, everyone will take a few extra glances.

This silver sports car is a bit different from those exaggerated supercars that you see in magazines. The front of the car looks like a car instead, with low-key and elegant lines.

Zhou Mengyi didn't care, she pulled the suitcase and was about to go to the minibus station, but who knew that the car stopped right beside her.

The car window was lowered slowly, and a voice came from the car, "Beauty, do you want to get in the car?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhou Mengyi suddenly turned her head, with a bright smile on her face, "Okay."

After speaking, he opened the door of the passenger seat and sat in. He directly carried the small suitcase in and put it in the back seat.

The middle-aged man following her was dumbfounded!

After striking up a conversation for so long, this beauty didn't even take a second look. Why did she just get in the car with a word?
But after looking at the Bentley Continental GT, and then turning his head to look at his own Mercedes, he seemed to understand something.

Although ordinary people don't know Bentley cars, he obviously knows them, but...

It's not that I can't afford this Bentley Continental!

Um... Although it is very painful to buy.

Don't girls nowadays only like sports cars and don't like big cars?
Then I have to think about whether I also want to build a sports car. The Bentley Continental is too expensive. I should get a Porsche 911. That is also a supercar!
…………

Of course, the middle-aged man thought he understood, but in fact he still didn't understand.

The reason why Zhou Mengyi got into the car so readily was because Yu Wenfei was sitting in the car. If it was someone else, she wouldn't have a headache.

After sitting in the car, Zhou Mengyi took a look at the inside of the car. It was the first time she saw Yu Wenfei's new car.

"This car is not bad. It looks like a sedan, and the interior is also very exquisite. You just bought it?"

Yu Wenfei smiled and said, "Yes, I just bought it a few days ago. By the way, I also bought one for you. Jim red, the color is very beautiful, you should like it."

Zhou Mengyi said with a smile: "As long as you buy it, I like it!"

"Come back this time and take a good rest for a while, and take a vacation. By the way, your villa has also been decorated, and I asked the housekeeper to hire a few servants for you, so you can move in directly." Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

Zhou Mengyi relaxed her whole body and leaned lazily on the back of the seat.

"Well, let's take a few days off, but it won't be too long. By the way, when I come back this time, I have to arrange my family. My father has worked in Shanghai for several years. I have his household registration, and my mother and The younger sister’s household registration has been moved here, and if I buy them a house, it can be regarded as settled in Shanghai. I can’t let the villagers point at me behind my back and scold me, saying that I am rich now, live in a villa by myself and drive a luxury car, and let the family people suffer."
