my return 2002

Chapter 63 The player is still too young.

The culprit of all this is naturally Shen Lang. Originally, the explosion rate of the public beta was lower than that of the internal beta. Zhu Jun listened to Shen Lang's suggestion and lowered the explosion rate of the blessing gem again, making the blessing gem the most in the entire game. scarce resource.

The purpose of Shen Lang's doing this is naturally to help Ninetowns make profits as soon as possible.

Speaking of online games in the mainland in 2002, no matter whether it was an internal test or a public test, it was free of charge. Compared with some games in the later generations that were open to charge for internal testing and public testing, it was simply conscience.

There is no charge in the public beta stage, players will not buy point cards, and Ninetowns will not be able to make a profit. This is an endless loop.

In order to break this cycle, Shen Lang suggested that Zhu Jun add a code to each point card, a point card worth 30 yuan. After recharging, the account can receive three blessing gems, and so on.

Of course, the recharge point card time during the public beta stage will continue until after the official release. As for whether players will buy point cards for the one-month deleted file beta test, Shen Lang is not worried at all, just look at how players are on the forum these days Those who scolded Zhu Jun knew how much they wanted to bless the gem.

These days, Zhu Jun is also negotiating with agents all over the country to try to cover as many Internet cafes as possible. This trick is also with Sheng University. In 2002, many players did not open online banking and could only purchase point cards through offline channels. By cooperating with Internet cafes, Shanda made Shanda the second largest Internet company in China in 2004 by market value.

Of course, players will definitely not recharge during the public beta, and no players will discover this "secret". So when the point card shop is almost ready, Zhu Jun starts to ask his employees to post posts on various forums.

"It turns out that there is still this method to easily obtain blessing gems. Haha, I'm going to strengthen my equipment. It's not a matter of minutes to get +9 this time!"

"Not enough blessing gems? Click here to teach you how to get it in 1 minute."

Soon, posts with similar titles began to appear in various game-related forums, among which the official forum and the 17173 area were the most popular, and quickly attracted a large number of players to browse.

After a few days of playing the game, the players have already deeply realized the importance of blessing gems. Among other things, just the various light effects after +7, standing in the main city, can immediately cause a group of players to call: big! Dude, there are many female players among them. The female players in this period are genuine, unlike the later ones who are likely to be transvestites. Who can refuse the temptation of girls?

Soon, the posts scolding Zhu Jun in the original forum gradually declined. Players with money in their hands went to buy some cards. As for those players without money, they scolded him even harder, especially those who were lucky enough to strengthen their cards. Players who reached +7 or above scolded Zhu Jun for money.

Gradually, there were more and more players with +7 or above in Miracle Continent. Even some players who were not used to visiting forums started to buy point cards one after another after they knew that they could get blessed gems by buying point cards.

Some players living in underdeveloped areas found sadly that there was no Miracle MU point card for sale in the entire county, and some players in developed areas gradually discovered that point cards began to be in short supply, partly because more and more players knew about it Some profiteers started hoarding point cards consciously.

Soon, Ninetowns received calls from point card agents in various regions, requesting delivery as soon as possible. Zhu Jun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard about it.

"Manager Shen, your plan is wonderful. I guess it will be analyzed by all the game companies in the mainland soon." Zhu Jun patted Shen Lang on the shoulder excitedly.

Shen Lang looked at Zhu Jun jokingly: "Mr. Zhu, this is none of my business. Other companies will only think that you did it. Don't betray me."

The corners of Zhu Jun's mouth twitched when he thought of those posts scolding him, but he still comforted himself: "Actually, it's okay, you see there aren't many people scolding him now."

"Really? That's not necessarily the case." Shen Lang smiled meaningfully.

Soon Zhu Jun found out that Shen Lang's words had come true. At first, many players who bought point cards +7 and failed again ran to the forum to scold Zhu Jun in anger. Then many players who had successfully strengthened also began to follow up. Yes, but the money is also spent. If I don't scold you, wouldn't I be sorry for those little money?

And this time the players were aggressive, and many players threatened to retreat, which made Zhu Jun's back shudder.

However, Shen Lang comforted: "It's okay, you just need to send an announcement to explain that this recharge point card to send blessing gems was originally for the official release, but I didn't expect that some players would recharge in advance and give a certain amount of compensation. For example Tomorrow double experience + double drop."

"This method is good, I'll let someone make an announcement immediately!" Zhu Jun's eyes lit up, and he said to Shen Lang sincerely again: "Manager Shen, in my opinion, you are a natural game planner, do you really not consider coming to Ninetowns? I even I can personally give you some shares."

Seeing that Zhu Jun was poaching someone in front of her again, Jiang Yan stared angrily.

Shen Lang didn't answer, but just smiled at Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun could only sigh helplessly, and asked someone to make an announcement.

Although this announcement did not fully satisfy the players, it also made most players secretly happy. It was not because of the one-day free experience and double drops, but because they felt that the game company had succumbed through their own struggle.

Well, it can only be said that the players in 2002 were too naive.

On the way back to Fuhua Finance from Ninetowns, Jiang Yan suddenly asked Shen Lang a question: "Do you think shares in Ninetowns are suitable for long-term holding?"

"At least in the last few years." Shen Lang replied subconsciously, and seeing Jiang Yan looking at him thoughtfully, he added: "I guessed wildly, this needs to be judged by yourself."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything else and concentrated on driving.

Copper futures prices began to rise in October, and Shen Lang began to buy long copper futures prices. Due to the impact of the previous three-month decline, copper futures prices were very unstable. Although the upward momentum was very strong, the frequency of shocks was also high, and This is just more suitable for Shen Lang to do T.

In just 20 days, Shen Lang rolled the original 837 million principal to 1368 million by selling high and buying low, an increase of more than 60%.

This day, when Shen Lang was staring at the futures market, he suddenly received a call. He saw that it was Liu Qin calling, and hung up without thinking. Who knew that the other party was very persistent this time, so he called several times in a daze. Shen Lang Simply turn off the phone, this time it is finally clean, Shen Lang suddenly misses the era of smart phones, just one tap will directly block the black.

As a result, Cao Lei found Shen Lang suddenly during the noon break.

"Is your phone turned off? Manager Liu is looking for you, and the call came to me."

Shen Lang thought for a while, and finally turned on the phone again. It was not to save Manager Liu, but shutting it down really delayed things. It was okay in the office, and he could always find him through the landline for work matters. It would be different when he went out. , things always have to be resolved, anyway, now only people beg him, no one begs him.

Not long after, Manager Liu called.
