my return 2002

Chapter 259 E-sports
Shen Lang and Luo Xin were also invited to the police station to take notes, and Luo Xin was still a little uneasy along the way.

"Don't worry, it's just a record. You are the victim, so there will be no problem." Shen Lang comforted him casually.

When they arrived at the police station, the two were recorded separately, and everyone from the MLM den was also taken to the police station.

When Shen Lang finished the notes and came out, Lei Jun arrived with the company's legal affairs, looked at Shen Lang with lingering fear, and was relieved to confirm that he was fine.

"Mr. Lei, this is Mr. Shen, right? Sure enough, he is brave and resourceful, young and promising." A middle-aged man in police uniform interjected with a smile.

Lei Jun quickly introduced: "This is Director Lin, who came here after hearing about your business."

"I'm sorry to trouble Director Lin, I'm still asking you for such a trivial matter." Shen Lang shook hands with the other party upon hearing this.

Director Lin patted Shen Lang's hand: "No trouble, it is our duty to ensure the safety of the people."

At this time, Luo Xin also finished taking notes, and then the group went to the director's office.

Along the way, Luo Xin looked at Shen Lang suspiciously, thinking: What is the origin of this person?Not to mention so many security guards in one call, even the director was alarmed?
In the director's office.

A policeman handed a document to Director Lin. After opening it, Director Lin took out a photo and showed it to Luo Xin.

"Is this the Ji Xiaoyan you mentioned?"

Luo Xin glanced at it and recognized it: "It's her."

Director Lin explained: "She is not called Ji Xiaoyan, but her real name is Qian Yanyan. She graduated from junior high school and specializes in colleges and universities in third- and fourth-tier cities across the country. , and then detained her, brainwashed her and demanded money from her family members, many parents have already reported the case to us, and we have been arresting her, but I did not expect to be met by you.”

Shen Lang asked: "Then has this Qian Yanyan been arrested?"

"Not yet, but Mr. Shen, don't worry, we have always had zero tolerance for such criminals. I will immediately set up a task force after I go back, and I will definitely bring her to justice." Director Lin said sternly.

"Then it will be hard work for Mr. Lin. If there is anything that needs our company's cooperation, it is unavoidable."

After a while of pleasantries, Shen Lang and his party came out of the police station, and when they passed by the observation room, they heard someone shouting inside.

"Let me out, don't hinder me from getting rich."

Seeing this, Shen Lang sighed. Long-term brainwashing has a huge impact on a person's values. Many people's values ​​are distorted because of this, and they firmly believe that they can get rich overnight. Dens.

"Director Lin, I personally donated 500 million police equipment, hoping to help the police fight crime better."

Director Lin excitedly held Shen Lang's hand: "Thank you Mr. Shen for your generosity, we will definitely solve the case as soon as possible."

Luo Xin stood there blankly, 500 million?Is Aunt Zhou's son so rich?And looking at him like this, it seems that 500 million is just a trifle?
After leaving the police station, Shen Lang looked at Luo Xin who was still at a loss, and said to her impatiently.

"Get in the car now."

After Luo Xin got into the car, Lei Jun pulled Shen Lang aside and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Seeing his gossiping face, Shen Lang rolled his eyes angrily: "I want you to take care of it."

Are you telling Lei Jun that this is my wife from the previous life?It is estimated that Lei Jun will send him to the psychiatric department for a comprehensive examination.

The car was replaced by Lin Aiguo, Yao Jianguo sat in the co-pilot, Shen Lang opened the rear door, obviously there was a lot of space, but Luo Xin squeezed to the side, leaving only the buttocks on the seat.

Shen Lang rolled his eyes: "Sit down, I don't eat people."

Luo Xin still had a low-browed and pleasing appearance, Shen Lang suddenly became amused, telling you that you always bullied people in your previous life, you deserve it!
"What are your plans now? How about calling home?"

Luo Xin shook her head violently when she heard it: "Don't, I'm afraid my parents will be worried."

Shen Lang sighed, alas, this stupid woman is still very filial to her parents.

"Then what are your plans now?"

Luo Xin thought for a while: "I brought some money with me when I came out. I will rent a house first, and then slowly find a job."

Shen Lang snorted: "Renting a house in Shanghai is more difficult than buying a house. At least you have to bet three times and pay one. Your little money will starve to death before you can find a job."

As soon as Luo Xin heard this, tears began to roll in her eyes.

Shen Lang complained secretly in his heart: He would pretend to be pitiful. In the past, every time he quarreled, he would cry or not, pitiful.

"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you to live first, and then you can find a job slowly by yourself."

Luo Xin wiped away her tears, her eyes were red: "Thank you, I will pay you the rent."

"Who cares about your little rent, remember to call your parents to ask about my affairs, and you just say that I am very difficult to get along with, so you just help me." Shen Lang said impatiently.

"Oh." Luo Xin didn't have much social experience, but she wasn't stupid. She somehow guessed that Aunt Zhou arranged for Shen Lang to pick her up, which was a little unusual.

Huarong District.

Shen Lang took Luo Xin to look at the house, Luo Xin fell in love with it immediately, but asked with some anxiety.

"The rent should be expensive, right?"

Shen Lang directly threw the room key to her: "There's so much nonsense, you can just live here with peace of mind. This is my staff dormitory. They moved into a new house last month and it happened to be vacant."

Ever since Shen Lang set up a house purchase down payment fund within the company, employees who have been working in the company for two years have applied one after another, but almost none of them are left behind. Some bought second-hand houses, and directly moved out of the company dormitory to live with their girlfriends Yes, some are still waiting for the decoration of the new house, but they can be regarded as seeing hope.

After Shen Lang left, Luo Xin was still a little dreamy. The experience of this day was simply too magical for her, almost catching up with the TV series.

Also, that Shen Lang feels so strange.

Shen Lang came down from the stairs and opened the door, only to find that Lei Jun ran into the car at some point with a playful expression on his face.

"Are you free?"

Lei Jun shrugged: "I originally planned to ask you to have a drink or two, since you are not happy, then forget it."

"Old Lin, find a restaurant nearby."

"Good boss."

In the hotel box.

Lei Jun directly poured Shen Lang a full glass of wine.

Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him: "Why do I think you just want to get me drunk?"

"I poured the wine, it's up to you to drink it or not, I can still open your mouth and drink it for you?" Lei Jun shrugged and poured himself a glass.

Shen Lang hesitated for a moment, picked up the wine glass, and took a big gulp.

Lei Jun was taken aback: "My ancestor, please slow down, you have to drink well, and tomorrow there will be news on the Internet: the Internet upstart died of alcohol poisoning, and the second-in-command is suspected of usurping the throne, don't you kill me."

"Go." Shen Lang pushed him angrily.

While eating and drinking, Shen Lang suddenly said something.

"Brother Jun, do you believe in past and present lives?"

Lei Jun snorted: "Bullshit, I only know that there is this life and there is no afterlife, the most important thing is to live in the present, don't always think about what you have and what you don't have."

"This person, when he is hungry, he has only one worry, but when he is full, he will have countless worries. Therefore, most people's worries are full of food."

Shen Lang suddenly smiled, touched Lei Jun with the wine glass, and took another big sip.

"That's right, I'm just full."

"Why do you say I am? I have struggled for so many years, and I haven't had enough time. It is enough to fall into a pit once. If I fall into it again, then I am not pure evil?"

"Don't do it, don't do it"

Before he finished speaking, he fell on the wine table, and Lei Jun pushed Shen Lang, complaining for a while.

"Your wine is really good. You fall asleep when you get drunk."

"Okay, you can send him back." Lei Jun said to Lin Aiguo and Yao Jianguo.

The two carried Shen Lang back to the car, one left and one right.

Shen Lang woke up again, it was already night, rubbing his swollen head, Shen Lang went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and then he recovered.

I didn't eat much at noon, I only drank alcohol. Until now, my stomach has been growling. Shen Lang found a bucket of instant noodles from the kitchen. Not to mention, I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time, and I feel that the taste is not bad.

I couldn't sleep at night, so I turned on the computer and clicked on the news to read it.

Wang Xiaochuan just came back from the company and was about to take a shower and go to bed when his cell phone rang suddenly, and it turned out to be the boss calling, so he answered it quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

"That's right. I was just looking at the news section of the portal website and found that everyone sees the same content. Do you think we can use intelligent algorithms to push news content according to personal preferences?"

Wang Xiaochuan was still in a daze, and it took him a while to react.

"Mr. Shen, do you mean to let us make a news interface with thousands of people?"

Shen Lang nodded: "That's almost what it means. You see, although various news are categorized on the portal website, it's still too bloated, and there are a lot of sticker ads on the interface, so the reading experience is not very good."

"If we can build a clean news website that understands user preferences, can we make up for the shortcomings of consulting?"

Wang Xiaochuan fell into deep thought, and answered after a long while: "Mr. Shen, although our intelligence research institute has accumulated a certain amount of technology, the database samples are still too small. I'm afraid it will be difficult to be absolutely thousands of people."

"I'm just offering an idea, not asking you to do it right away, and there's no need to make it too complicated at the beginning, as long as you classify the users, for example, if you often read financial news, give priority to recommending financial news to him For those who often watch sports, we recommend sports news first. Products can be iterated step by step. There is no perfect product in the world, and perfect products will always exist in the next generation.”

After listening to Shen Lang, Wang Xiaochuan said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Shen, I understand what to do."

"Well, it's good that you understand that the Institute of Intelligence will be our core business in the future, and I will increase investment in the future. Whether the company will be one step ahead or controlled by others will depend entirely on you."

When Wang Xiaochuan heard the words, his blood boiled, he patted his chest and said, "Mr. Shen, just watch my performance."

Shen Lang hung up the phone in satisfaction, he was at ease regarding Wang Xiaochuan's ability and hard work.

A few days later, when Shen Lang just arrived at the company, Zhuang Yan came to him with a document.

"Mr. Shen, this is the planned budget for our Internet cafe league and college league."

Originally, Zhuang Yan thought that Shen Lang would think the budget was too high. After all, it was indeed extravagant to spend 300 million yuan to hold this kind of small competition.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lang signed with a wave of his hand, and said.

"Is 300 million enough? If it's not enough, we can add some later."

"Enough, enough." Zhuang Yan said quickly.

"Well, that's good. You and Mr. Lu communicate more with each other. The main purpose of organizing the Internet cafe league and the college league this time is to exercise the ability of organizing events and cultivate talents in this area. The result is not important, but the ability is the most important. Do you understand?" Lang explained patiently.

"Understood, Mr. Shen, I know what to do." Zhuang Yan left happily.

Next, Zhuang Yan and Lu Bin began to conduct competitions between Internet cafes and universities in East China. In order to reduce the budget, the prizes for Internet cafe competitions are often some Internet cafe recharge cards, while the prizes for the preliminary competition of college leagues are mice, keyboards, earphones and the like. Peripherals, there are no cash rewards until the official group stage.

At the beginning, Shen Lang was worried that being so stingy would affect the enthusiasm of players to participate, but the facts proved that his worries were unfounded. Both the Internet cafe league and the college league were extremely popular.

In 2006, domestic e-sports was still in its infancy, and there were actually very few professional teams. Many of them were teams formed by a group of friends who liked to play games, and then affiliated with Internet cafes. The owners of Internet cafes provided them with free Internet services to attract many Customers who like e-sports games.

There will be some small competitions sporadically, and the prizes are also gifts of small value. Like [Ghost Blowing Lantern], five hundred, one thousand, three thousand, and up to ten thousand Internet cafe recharge rewards are considered very rich.

The scale of the college league is even larger. There are more than 60 colleges and universities in the area of ​​Shanghai alone, and there are also colleges and universities in cities such as Hangzhou and Suzhou in the surrounding area.

After the colleges and universities in each city have competed, there are three teams that can compete in the group stage, then the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals to compete for the final championship.

In addition to the normal 1V1 mode, there are also 2V2 modes and 4V4 modes. The 4V4 mode is a test of teamwork, and the matching of various professional skills is very particular. Once a mistake is made, it is easy to be taken away by the opponent.

The enthusiasm of college students for e-sports has gradually formed after years of cultivation. Compared with DOTA, CS, Warcraft 3, and StarCraft, the action game [Ghost Blowing Lantern] is easier to learn and has more cool skills. , Naturally, it is easier to get the love of college students.

Usually, a school's competition can attract hundreds of college students to watch. When it comes to the quarterfinals, there are even thousands of people watching.

Naturally, the game [Ghost Blowing Lantern] quickly became popular in East China.
