Chapter 173 Electronic Payment

Chapter 173 Electronic Payment
On the first day of the closed beta of "Sword Rain Jianghu", the number of server logins was around 700. On the second day, the number suddenly exceeded 1.

Fortunately, Shen Lang had prepared a backup server in advance, so that the game would not be noticeably stuck.

The entire closed beta is only two weeks long. Many players have no activation codes and can only receive high prices from scalpers. Some activation codes are directly copied from the original 100 yuan to 300 yuan. Not to mention three times, the supply is still extremely tight. .

The reason for this situation is due to the overall environment of the mainland online game market. Internet cafes are the headquarters of online games. The so-called Internet cafes win the world. It often happens that an Internet cafe is playing the same game.

With the game quality of "Jian Yu Jiang Hu", as long as there is one person playing in an Internet cafe, it will immediately attract the attention of countless bar friends.

"Hey buddy, what kind of game is this? It looks really fun."

"Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes." The players who were onlookers said proudly.

Someone asked again: "Sword Rain Jianghu? Is this the game? I tried it before, why can't I log in?"

"Oh, this game is still in beta testing, and an activation code is required to log in."

"Hey, it's the activation code again. Now these game manufacturers have learned from Ninetowns. Dude, where did you get your activation code?"

While manipulating the characters to collect herbs, the onlookers answered casually: "I bought it in a small Taobao shop, but now I can't sell it, so I can only buy it from scalpers. It's too expensive for hundreds of pieces. You can wait, the closed beta will be open for two weeks, and the public beta will be launched next month."

"Brother, is this game fun? I think the picture is pretty good, and the skills are also very cool. I think you just flew up. How did you do it?"

The onlookers raised their chins proudly: "It must be fun. This thing is called Qinggong. If you enter the sect, you can learn it after level [-]. Let me tell you, the game really starts to change after level [-]." It is wonderful, not only the combat skills have become more and stronger, but also various life skills, such as collecting herbs, alchemy, mining, forging, fishing, cooking, gathering, and brewing. The game content is simply too rich. It’s not like those Korean kimchi games, where you only know how to farm monsters all day long, which is not interesting at all, but it’s a bit troublesome to limit energy every day.”

Hearing what he said, the spectators behind him drooled, scolding the activation code system for harming people, and then slipping Zhu Junti out to scold him.

The same scene happened in many Internet cafes. The rich content of the game "Jianyu Jianghu" made players who were still dominated by the Korean kimchi game instantly fall. In some Internet cafes, there was even a person playing Jianyu Jianghu. A large circle of people stood and watched behind him.

You know, because it's just an internal test, Shen Lang hasn't let the Internet cafe management software push the advertisement of "Jianyu Jianghu". It's just relying on word of mouth among players to get such good results.

Undoubtedly, "Sword Rain Jianghu" is really popular.

This can be seen from the game section of "Sword Rain Jianghu" in the multiplayer game. The most popular post in the section is asking for an activation code.

In addition, "Sword Rain Jianghu" closed beta only one day, there are more than [-] various strategy posts, all of which are uploaded and shared by players spontaneously, and the total number of posts in the special area has exceeded [-], and the most popular posts have been liked. Break through [-].

This is just playing more games. Posts about "Sword Rain Jianghu" on various other forums have quickly become popular, and even communities that are not related to games like Tianya and Maopu have a lot of popularity.

Of course, there is one community that is an exception, and that is 17173. Due to the agreement between Tan Qunzhao and Qiu Bojun, the administrators of 17173 did nothing else this day. There are still similar posts popping up from time to time.

It's just that, even the novice players can see the tricks, and it's too obvious. Soon, Cai Zhongjian received a report from his executives, saying that the traffic of 17173 hit a new low.

However, at this time, Cai Zhongjian was already extremely dissatisfied with Shanda's practice of exhausting resources, and he didn't care about the future of 17173. Anyway, he had already withdrawn with money. If it wasn't for the contract that stipulated that he would have to work for two years, he would have resigned a long time ago.

On the other hand, for playing more games, due to the success of "Jianyu Jianghu", it has brought a large amount of traffic to the entire community, which seems to have occupied more than 65% of the traffic in the entire game community market. In favor of favoritism, many game manufacturers have begun to cooperate with Duowan Games.

No matter in terms of traffic or content, Duowan has become the game community industry in the mainland, and it is well-deserved No. 1. Only Shanda can entertain itself and say that 17173 is the industry's number one in various press releases.

That night, at ten o'clock, the lights of Inspur Technology were still brightly lit. While the players were experiencing the fun brought by the game, the entire Jianyu Jianghu project team and the multiplayer game project team were doing their best to bring players a better experience.

Shen Lang was no exception, squatting in the technical room with Wang Tao and Lei Jun all day, for fear that something would happen to affect the internal test.

Fortunately, although the team is operating an online game for the first time, there have been a lot of small troubles, but no big troubles. After ten o'clock, the peak of the game has passed, and Shen Lang can finally breathe a sigh of relief .

"Everyone has worked hard today, so I ordered a barbecue supper. After a while, everyone will get off work and go back to rest. There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!"

Shen Lang's words made the exhausted employees cheer. In fact, most employees don't care about your food, but the boss's similar actions are recognition of their work. Sometimes the sense of recognition is often better than directly giving Money makes it easier to keep employees.

"Old Wang did a good job." Shen Lang patted Wang Tao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"It's also thanks to Mr. Shen's suggestions, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make such a mature game."

What Wang Tao said was not to flatter Shen Lang. During the development of Jianyu Jianghu, Shen Lang participated in almost the whole process. Although he did not understand technology, he understood games.

Whether it is the face pinching system, the dungeon system, or the life occupation system, they were all improved step by step under Shen Lang's suggestion. In Wang Tao's view, Shen Lang's understanding of games has surpassed the limitations of this era.

"By the way, how is the development of our point card trading system and Baibaoge trading system?"

Soon after the supper arrived, Shen Lang took a bunch of chicken wings and asked Lei Jun while eating.

Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks of the Jianyu Jianghu project team, these two systems can only be handed over to other project teams to complete. After Lei Jun came, he also accepted these two projects.

Lei Jun took a sip of the wine while licking the skewers, and then said to Shen Lang.

"The point card system has been completed, and the Baibaoge system will be completed by the end of the month, but I am a little worried. Although this Baibaoge trades virtual items, it is a cash transaction after all. Will it involve some policy issues? ?”

Lei Jun's words really stunned Shen Lang for a moment. In his impression, the first batch of payment licenses would only be issued in 2011. Before that, all online payments were illegal, including Alipay, so he also Haven't really thought about it.

Now that Lei Jun mentioned it, Shen Lang felt that it was indeed a little risky, after all, he was just a grassroots person, and Lao Ma's family was not an ordinary person.

Shen Lang thought about it, and immediately called Zhu Jun.

"Hello." Zhu Jun's voice was a little impatient.

Shen Lang said angrily, "You're not still playing games, are you?"

"You know this as well?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes for a while, and Zhu Jun on the other end of the phone seemed to have stopped the game: "Tell me, why are you looking for me so late?"

"I just want to ask if Ninetowns encountered any troubles when they were developing the Baibaoge trading system."

As soon as Zhu Jun heard it, he understood what he was worried about.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. To put it bluntly, this Baibaoge trading system is a virtual trading platform. Doesn't the transfer ultimately have to go through the bank? As long as the relationship between the bank is dredged No problem." Zhu Jun said nonchalantly.

"Then, what if it's not a direct transaction between players?"

With Shen Lang's words, Zhu Jun stood up from his chair and asked in surprise, "Are you going to do electronic payment like Shanda?"

No wonder Zhu Jun first thought of Shanda instead of Ali. Taobao was only launched in May last year, and Alipay was only launched for three months, so it is not well-known in the industry.

On the contrary, Shanda's series of actions will attract the attention of the entire industry. In 2004, Shanda was the fourth largest force after the three major portal websites. exist.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the formation of the BAT pattern, Shanda was the most influential Internet company in the Mainland.

"You really have to discuss this matter with Director Qiu, I'm not very clear." Zhu Jun was silent for a moment after speaking, and couldn't help reminding.

"Brother, don't walk too fast on the road, it's easy to fall."

"Well, I know, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang saw that supper was almost eaten, so he announced that he was off work. Except for those who stayed on duty, everyone else rushed home exhausted.

Shen Lang didn't go home, but went to Li Wenwen's place. During the Chinese New Year, Li Wenwen stayed at home for more than a month and just returned to Shanghai.

Standing at the door of Li Wenwen's house, Shen Lang had just dialed the phone, and the door opened before it rang a few times. Before Shen Lang could react, he was pulled in, and then a delicate body was pressed against it.

Shen Lang's breathing was a little short. This young body couldn't stand the temptation, so he reacted immediately, kicking the door shut, dragging Li Wenwen's long legs in leggings with both hands, and walked to the bedroom.

The clouds scattered and the rain was sparse, Li Wenwen lay limply on Shen Lang's body, drawing circles with her fingers on his chest, and gave Shen Lang a resentful look.

"Hmph, I've called you so many times and I just came here today. Are you not interested in me?"

Shen Lang glanced at the messy bedroom, and jokingly said: "It's all like this, are you still not interested?"

"I hate it." Li Wenwen buried her face in the bed coquettishly.

The next day, Li Wenwen went to buy breakfast outside the community in good spirits early in the morning. When Shen Lang woke up, she had already prepared everything, even the toothpaste.

Shen Lang kissed her on the forehead in satisfaction, but was pushed away by her disgust: "Brush your teeth quickly."

It was only during breakfast that Shen Lang learned that Li Wenwen had already passed the civil servant interview and was assigned to the customs office as a clerical post. The degree from the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of Dongda University gave her a lot of points.

"Yes, you really passed the exam." Shen Lang was a little surprised.

Li Wenwen raised her chin proudly: "That's right, when I was in school, my grades were also among the top in the class, okay?"

"By the way, it's too far away from where I work, and I'm going to move to the dormitory over there." Li Wenwen looked at Shen Lang with some grievances.

The woman's mood really changes at will, Shen Lang had no choice but to comfort him: "It's okay, you usually go to work and make do with it over there, the house here is still reserved for you, and you come back from the weekend, we can still be together .”

"Yeah." Li Wenwen became happy now.

Coming out of Li Wenwen's place, Shen Lang called Director Qiu and roughly told him his thoughts.

"So, where are you, let's meet and talk."

A cafe near Inspur Technology.

Director Qiu sat down and ordered a cup of coffee, and then said to Shen Lang: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, Jian Yujianghu has achieved great success."

In fact, for Director Qiu, there are already two game companies in Shanghai, and it is not a big deal to have one more. He is really happy that with the cash cow of Jianyu Jianghu, all the cards in Shen Lang's hand will be alive at once. Yes, no matter which project is developed in the future, we have enough confidence.

"Thank you, Director Qiu." Shen Lang smiled faintly. In his opinion, the success of Jianyujianghu was inevitable. He was naturally happy, but it was not a surprise.

Director Qiu took a sip of his coffee and said seriously, "Why did you suddenly think of doing electronic payment? This has always been the business of the bank. Even if you are small now, the bank won't move you, but once you develop..."

"Electronic payment is the general trend. Mastering this means mastering the payment portal, which is the most important link in the entire ecological chain of Inspur Technology." Shen Lang's tone was extremely firm.

Director Qiu frowned slightly: "But the bank is already simplifying the procedures for opening online banking. Are you sure that electronic payment can compete with online banking?"

"Director Qiu, do you think the bank's efficiency can be compared to that of a private enterprise?" Shen Lang said with a disdainful smile.

Even in 2022, the work efficiency of banks can only be described as touching, let alone 2004.

Director Qiu was silent for a while, and then said to Shen Lang: "Well, let me help you find a relationship with the bank and see if there is any way to avoid some risks."

Shen Lang said gratefully: "Then I would like to thank Director Qiu."

Director Qiu shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully: "I still have two years left before my term expires. I hope to see Inspur Technology go public before that."

Shen Lang secretly rolled his eyes. If he told Director Qiu now that he had no intention of listing Inspur Technology so early, I don't know if he would give up immediately.
