The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 139 The Studio's Expansion Plan
February 8, noon.

Xue Weiqiang came to the office of counselor Wu Zhiguo and handed in the application form for the poor students in his class.

Wu Zhiguo took the seven application forms, looked at the information on them one by one, compared the information on the student list, and nodded from time to time.

After reading it, he raised his eyes to look at Xue Weiqiang, and asked, "Is the class fee also charged?"

"Confiscated." Xue Weiqiang nodded, and said, "However, the seven poor students have not been confiscated. Considering that they are indeed family difficulties, they will not be confiscated for the time being."

"Yes." Wu Zhiguo put the application form for impoverished students aside, then opened the drawer, and said, "I really should be considerate."

Having said that, Wu Zhiguo took out a red envelope from the drawer, opened it slowly in front of Xue Weiqiang, and pulled out a complete set of 10 hundred-yuan bills from inside.

When Xue Weiqiang saw the red envelope, his temples twitched and he became a little nervous: "Mr. Wu..."

"Here." Wu Zhiguo handed the thousand dollars to Xue Weiqiang, "Think of these as class fees for the poor students in the class."

Of course Xue Weiqiang knew how the red envelope came from. He was a little dry at this moment, but he still didn't mean to disobey Wu Zhiguo. He reached out to take the money, but he still said: "There are only seven poor students in total. There are three hundred more."

Wu Zhiguo sat on the chair, raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, and then said, "It's true, for the extra three hundred yuan, you can find a time to buy some drinks and popsicles, and reward your classmates."

"Hmm..." Xue Weiqiang held the banknotes in his hand, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, "I see."

"Oh, that's right." Wu Zhiguo remembered something, and reminded again, "You can say that you paid the seven hundred yuan in advance by yourself, and the other three hundred yuan for drinks and popsicles were paid by an anonymous person in the class. Classmates and parents provide it to everyone in friendship.”

Xue Weiqiang: "..."

"Don't worry, the teacher is not targeting you." Wu Zhiguo saw that his face was a little embarrassed, so his tone softened a little, "I'm very happy to accept gifts if only fruits are accepted, but we don't want other extra things. Bring it to school."

"As for your position as squad leader, it was never because your father asked me to give you a gift, but because I really value your personal ability."

"Based on your resume and achievements in high school, you can be more confident. This teacher hopes that you can figure it out for yourself."

Xue Weiqiang was silent, finally nodded slowly, took the thousand dollars, and left the office.

And Wu Zhiguo picked up the seven application forms on the side again, glanced at the name on the first one, picked up his mobile phone and made a call:
"Hello? Is that Zhang Nong? Come to the teacher's office if you are free at noon."

……

"The teacher has something to do with me, you go back first."

After lunch, on the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Nong received a call and said, "It should be a matter for poor students to apply."

"Go." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Our Min University can be regarded as a well-known university in China, and a little bursary is still worth it."

After watching Zhang Nong leave, the remaining three returned to the dormitory.

Xu Xing was still holding the pineapple computer, Lu Pengyou was sitting on a chair playing with his mobile phone, and Jian Jiashu was sleeping with a mask on.

距离8月27日又过去了半天时间，水果刺客27日全天的销量，已经从原本的2000上涨到了18000。

And now, half a day later, Xu Xing took another look at the sales, and it has already exceeded 30000.

[A Bin]: Do we count as earning money?

I don't know if this number is too big to make people numb, but Li Zhibin today is more emotionally stable than the previous few days, and he doesn't yell any more.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: What do you think, this is not obvious.

[A Bin]: I'm just a little confused now.

[A Bin]: Since this increase is the result of our studio's own publicity, is it possible to maintain such an increase after waiting for the recommendation?
Seeing Li Zhibin's speech, Xu Xing smiled, thinking that you are still too young.

[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: First, this increase is not exaggerated, you can wait two days to see it; second, why do you think that the recommendation will be made after the end of this week?

Xu Xing, who has mastered rebirth, is very clear about the impact of the Fruit Assassin game on the current mobile game market.

When the memory and other configurations of smartphones are still at a relatively early stage, even a pineapple phone cannot carry a slightly larger mobile game.

Therefore, during this period, light-weight mobile games like Fruit Assassin can often harvest the market and users to the maximum extent.

Especially for games like Fruit Assassin, after the initial fermentation period, even without any promotion and publicity, players will spontaneously form a very terrifying transmission chain.

If the later pdd's model of using WeChat circle of friends and relatives to forcibly harvest the number of users can quickly expand the user base, then the spontaneous promotion of players like Fruit Assassin will not be much less effective.

Although it is more difficult to spread than free games, in areas like Laomei, users' game consumption habits have been cultivated, and people don't think it is strange or unworthy to spend money to buy a game .

In this environment, once the Fruit Assassin forms a trend, it will be like a tornado, quickly producing a fission-like speed-up effect among the crowd.

But Li Zhibin, who just started accepting the fruit assassin's daily increase of more than [-], obviously hasn't posted the image that only exists in Xu Xing's mind.

[A Bin]: No, I believe what you said before is so exaggerated, but every time you raise my expectations like this, I feel like my body is floating when I hear it now.

Although he still didn't believe it in his heart, Xu Xing had walked all the way so calmly before, and almost every step he stepped on was where Li Zhibin didn't expect.

This made him gradually begin to distrust his own judgment.

Even looking at what Xu Xing said was still a bit outrageous, Li Zhibin just had the illusion that "this guy's nonsense will not come true again, right?".

[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: Leaving aside the matter of the increase, why do you think our game will be recommended?

[Abin]: Doesn’t that mean there is only one week?

Li Zhibin asked back of course.

But before Xu Xing continued to remind him, he himself reacted first.

[A Bin]: Damn it!

[A Bin]: Are you saying that our grades are too good, so there will be new recommendations in the future?
[One Minion Misty Rain]: Go and see the latest game sales rankings.

After being reminded by Xu Xingyi, Li Zhibin quickly clicked on the leaderboard.

At this moment, Fruit Assassin's [-] sales volume has already overthrown the previous top spot and easily reached the top.

The next one is the former No. 2 Hold the Position [-], which currently sells only [-] copies.

It was followed by the third child, Sword of Exotic Countries 2, with a total sales volume of [-] copies.

When seeing this scene, Li Zhibin opened his mouth slightly, and still didn't recover.

In this way, the game they made has unknowingly become the game with the strongest performance among the latest games on the App Store in a short period of time?

You know, Li Zhibin knows the details of their studio very well.

Including Xu Xing, the boss, the core development members are Xu Xing, Yan Chijiu, and Xu Niannian.

Yu Youjia who joined later counts as half, and Yao Yuanyuan who manages the finances counts as half, so there are only four people who are fully engaged.

But the game produced by such a small team can reach the top of the App Store rankings.

Although it is only the sales chart of the latest game, the impact on Li Zhibin is already huge enough.

It's hard for him to imagine now that among the freshmen of Min University in Shanghai, when other students are still looking forward to life on the university campus, this guy Xu Xing has been among them, but he has secretly become the boss of a start-up company.

And the young boss of this game company may soon become a successful person with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands.

wrong.

A few hundred thousand is just this week's income.

If the follow-up recommendations continue and the increase does not decrease, wouldn't it cost millions in a month? ! ! !
Li Zhibin, who suddenly realized this matter, was so numb in his head.

This horse riding is too outrageous!

The more he understands the production process of the Fruit Assassin game, the more crazy he feels when he finds out that this game is starting to earn millions a month.

What the hell is going on in this world?
Is it so easy to make money?
My brother just messed around in the summer vacation, and made such a cash cow with a monthly income of one million?

You know, this is only launched in the US region... In the future, it will be available in Europe, China, Japan, Korea, and even India and other regions.

Doesn't this money have to come rushing?
[A Bin]: I think I need a little time to calm down.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: Just get used to it slowly. When the military training is over, just go and finish what I told you first.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: There are many opportunities in the capital. The only person I know there is you for the time being. We brothers will not talk about scenes. If you want to see a different world above your head, then get used to it early get up.

[A Bin]: I just suddenly felt, Xu Xing, you have changed so much, I feel a little unreal even across QQ.

[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: I'm sorry, I only like women. If the above words have caused you any misunderstanding, then I would like to apologize to you first.

[A Bin]: ... You, who are on horseback, can't talk seriously!
As if afraid that Xu Xing would really misunderstand, Li Zhibin hurriedly added another sentence.

[A Bin]: I only like women too!

While Xu Xing was chatting and teasing with Li Zhibin, someone knocked on the bedroom door.

Lu Pengyou was playing Fruit Assassin while walking towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he heard someone outside handing out a leaflet with a smile on his face, saying: "Hello, junior, we are from the Work-Study Department of the Student Affairs Center. Here's our flyer, if needed..."

Lu Pengyou didn't listen at all. He nodded impatiently and took the leaflet. After he finished speaking, he closed the door, walked back to the chair, crumpled the leaflet in his hand, and threw it into the trash can.

"What is it this time?" Xu Xing turned his head and asked when he heard the movement.

"I didn't hear clearly, do you want to see it?" Lu Pengyou asked with his head down, chopping melons and vegetables.

"No, just ask casually."

In the past few days, various departments and associations have come to the freshman dormitory to sweep the floor for publicity, Xu Xing and the others are almost annoyed to death.

About [-] copies of the leaflets alone have been taken, and even thicker-skinned propagandists are pulling them to add QQ.

At the beginning, Lu Pengyou was quite new, but after listening to it a lot, he didn't even bother to take a look at it unless it was a beautiful senior who came to sweep the building.

……

Not long after, Zhang Nong came back from the teacher's office.

Lu Pengyou asked concerned: "How is it? Is there any drama?"

"It shouldn't be a problem." Zhang Nong scratched his head, "Ms. Wu said that my mother's income is not enough for the extremely poor students, but the first-level poor students can still apply."

"What's the difference?" Lu Pengyou was stunned, not understanding the difference.

"The extremely poor students are given to families with little source of income. They can directly waive their tuition fees, and then they will receive a subsidy of 5000 yuan per year." Zhang Nong said honestly, "The first-level poor students can reduce half of their tuition fees, and they can get 4000 yuan a year. A subsidy of [-] yuan is also very good.”

"That's okay." Lu Pengyou nodded slightly satisfied when he heard it, "I thought I couldn't make it."

"The teacher is pretty good." Zhang Nong said seriously, "He said he would help me apply for the extremely poor students first, because the quota may not be used up every year. If there are more, I still have a chance."

"And the subsidy for extremely poor students is issued the fastest, and it is estimated that the process will be completed in one month."

"If you are a first-class poor student, you will have to wait two to three months before you can get the subsidy."

"But I'm not in a hurry now." Zhang Nong said here, feeling more at ease, "If the tuition fee is halved, my own money will be enough to pay. In the future, I will have a subsidy of 4000 yuan a year, plus the money from my family. , Finishing college should be fine."

Hearing this, Xu Xing, who was operating the computer, felt a little relieved.

After all, Min University is a famous university, at least there is nothing wrong with the bursary for poor students. Most of the more difficult students like Zhang Nong can get the help they deserve, so there is no need for Xu Xing to worry about it.

[Yuanchengqiu]: I'm near Min University, are you and Jiujiu free these two days?After I read the addresses you gave, let's go out and have a meal?
When the military training was about to start in the afternoon, Xu Xing received a message from Yao Yuanyuan.

After looking at the military training schedule posted in the class group, Xu Xing replied.

[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: Wait until the evening of the [-]th, there will be no evening training that night.

[Yuanchengqiu]: OKOK, what about the office location?If I see something I'm satisfied with, I'll settle it right away?
[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: I just have a few requirements, to meet the work needs of less than 30 people, to be closer to the subway and other means of transportation, and to be closer to Min University, and you can figure out the rest.

[Round into a ball]: 30 people?you sure?
[One Minion Misty Rain]: I'm already preparing for recruitment. When the Fruit Assassins gain a firm foothold in the US, we still have to focus on China.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: Fruit Assassin is not the only project in my mind.

Right now, Xu Xing doesn't have the ability to control a relatively large game project, so he can only choose some relatively light-weight games as much as possible.

And after having the cash flow support of Fruit Assassin, it is completely possible to form a small team of five or six or seven or eight people, with Xu Xing in charge of the overall planning, and launch multiple projects at the same time.

A team of 30 people, excluding the necessary logistics, finance, administration, marketing and other positions, can probably pull up three to four small teams, which is almost the same in Xu Xing's view.

Xu Xing always feels at a loss if there is less Xu Xing, and he probably can't handle it if there is more, this amount should be just right.

Once Fruit Assassin is officially on the right track, then Tianshu Studio and Qunxing Company will usher in a period of real rapid expansion.
