Reboot 2003

Chapter 228 007: Man in Black ([-]-in-[-])

Although it may be a bit of a test, Qiao Yongping said this with good intentions.

But Boss Chen was a little unhappy after hearing this.

"Lao Gu isn't dead yet. What's his will still be his when he wakes up. You'd better restrain yourself from poaching Kuaikan now, and keep Moyou shares for him." Boss Chen said, "In two days, Tian’s investment department came over to handle the dividend distribution, and his share must be given to his family, so he cannot be left behind.”

Qiao Yongping was shocked: "You want dividends now? It's not the end of the year yet... Wait a minute, boss, I'll change the venue."

While Qiao Yongping seemed to be carrying his computer to find another office, Chen Qin said: "Everyone has been working so hard to make games, so it's time to allocate some money to improve their lives."

Qiao Yongping hesitated to speak and thought for a while before saying helplessly: "I know what you mean, boss, but now is the period of business expansion. Not only are we working hard to develop new versions, but we are also working with the Flash Empire "Three Kingdoms" also requires investment, and we also have other projects..."

Chen Qin insisted: "Stop talking, just divide it. You don't have to worry about the company's cash flow. I will approve an interest-free loan to the company in two days."

"Okay, boss, you have the final say." Qiao Yongping was helpless and finally tried to persuade him, "Boss, you know my position. In fact, I mainly feel that there is no need to use the company's line to make concessions to their family. You are the boss of the Three Kingdoms It is done by investing money, and the contribution to the project is greater between Lao Yao and Mr. Li from Zhushi. Even if the situation of Lao Gu's family is not optimistic now, after all, the company is under so much pressure now, we don't have to make adjustments to take care of his family's situation. Of course, I’m just talking about the pace. I just think we should do our own business well now..."

Seeing that Chen Qin was still unmoved, he finally gave up and said to Mr. Chen: "As for the loan, there is no need for it. The company's cash flow is very healthy now. In fact, we are still thinking about making other investments recently."

"What do you want to vote for?"

"Didn't we just join the group's investment channel? So I wanted to give it a try." Qiao Yongping said, "I discussed it with Lao Yao. Web2 has been so popular recently. I heard that the company is also working on a new project, so I want to try it myself, after all, we at Moyou.com also have a media department..."

Qiao Yongping quickly changed the topic. Although Mr. Chen was quite unhappy at first, he became more talkative when he heard about the product: "Although the new project we are working on recently has a social component, it has little to do with the current communication and social services. Besides, Internet social networking It was originally something with ecological barriers, but it is impossible to build a Facebook or Weibo network now. If you want to build web2, you might as well build something in a niche field."

Qiao Yongping asked humbly: "Then let's build a community in the gaming field? Or a Three Kingdoms online player community or something? But will this conflict with Weibo?"

"Of course, and your game is a content product. If you want to make SNS, a closed forum is enough. But the main question is, what's the use of doing this? Earn some forum advertising fees, and then go to Tieba and Weibo. Advertising?”

Qiao Yongping gradually entered the state and started thinking: "What should we do?"

Chen Qin inspired him: "You have to think about the problem from the perspective of players. What needs do they have that cannot be met by current SNS? For example, if they discuss daily life content in the game, chat and find other people to play with, they can go to Tieba. Those who are looking for information but are not very purposeful can search on Weibo, but what is left?”

Qiao Yongping suddenly understood: "Build a strategy website?"

"Yes, a guide website can meet your needs, but if you want to build a guide website, have you thought about what steps are required? Hire players who are good at playing or let company employees write their own guides, and then build a website specifically Record these contents? You have to know that there are no people in the labor market who are professional in writing game guides, and a person who can write guides cannot always write guides."

Qiao Yongping thought about it carefully and realized that this was probably indeed a problem: "How about asking some players to write about it as amateurs?"

"The answer is almost there. If you think about it, what is the main production method of this kind of content."

Qiao Yongping's eyes lit up: "UGC? Create a wiki? Yes, there are many players editing game entries on Galaxy Encyclopedia."

"Yes, but Galaxy Encyclopedia is an encyclopedia-like trademark. You can make a more complex wiki system. In this regard, you can refer to the Wikia model. It is not web2 enough in itself, but it is very helpful for Moyou.com's media route, and Isn’t your e-sports department still working on it? E-sports is also a UGC platform-based project. You can build a UGC platform with core players as the main body..."

……

Although I didn't want to talk about this at the beginning, other things came up, and the two of them chatted in depth.

Until Wang Yinglan came to the bedroom door with a bowl of pork ribs, hesitant to come in.

Chen Qin stopped talking. After his grandmother came in, Chen Qin also turned off the computer.

"Was he your netizen again just now?"

"Yeah." Chen Qin replied simply.

"I've heated up the ribs for you, come and try them."

"I'll eat later, grandma, do you want to watch TV?"

"You don't have to?"

"No need." Chen Qin opened the laptop next to him again, "I want to protect my eyes and won't play with computers anymore."

Wang Yinglan smiled and said: "You said you don't want to play, but you don't have to work hard on the computer every day. Your mother asked me to keep an eye on you when she left. Don't let you damage your body by playing on the computer all the time!"

Chen Qin said: "Mom is right, grandma, you can use the computer to watch TV."

As he spoke, Chen Qin opened his laptop. This laptop did not have so many security protection measures, and the system was still on the Win platform. In addition to some commonly used software, there were some messy online video clients on the desktop - there were quite a few names, one was called 'Shui Pavilion Songtai', one is called 'Galaxy Film and Television', the other is called 'Storm Film and Television', and the other is called 'American Drama Network'...

In fact, these gadgets are all launched by Galaxy Software.

When it comes to equity investment relationships and profit distribution, there may indeed be something worth talking about. For example, Waterside Getai is now independently operated. For example, Storm Video is the original acquired Storm Video and has become independent again. American Drama Network is in the form of investment. controlling……

However, the reason why there are so many vests is to expand the trademark coverage of the audience. Of course, there is also a reason to use the principle of "selective attention" to squeeze out the living space of other clients.

But the reason for doing this is mainly because client and online streaming are two streaming media service methods that appear to be similar but are actually very different.

The biggest difference is that the video client uses p2p sharing technology. Both bandwidth costs and server overhead are a drop in the bucket compared to video websites. Although it is more difficult to make advertising fees with this thing, the cost is still lower.

Therefore, this kind of video player client has had an equally huge impact on the company's development plan-Shuixie Getai mainly focuses on copyrighted content and UGC creation, and has greater influence. Naturally, it cannot engage in piracy on its own, and it is just a matter of developing a client. To save bandwidth.

Galaxy Film and Television was recently established by a bunch of people from the film and television industry. They are buying copyrights and building their own copyright library, but after all, it is still in its infancy, not yet mature, and there is not enough content.

After Storm Video became independent, although the big boss was still Galaxy Investment, the client and server were actually provided by Galaxy Software... As for American Drama Network, of course, the same was true.

But small companies are relatively unobtrusive and less constrained in doing things.

American Drama Network specializes in providing popular American drama resources, and Storm Video has no taboos. As long as the film and television resources are not illegal, they are all pirated and provided to the audience whatever they want.

This year is the year of the explosion of streaming media, and Chen Qin has already taught his grandmother to watch TV on her laptop.

He pushed the computer to grandma and went out of the bedroom with the bowl in hand.

Looking back, I saw my grandma opening the American TV Drama Network. Prison Break was a hit recently. Grandma had good eyesight and didn’t mind staring at the subtitles. She opened the video and opened it in full screen. Then she sank back and lay on the sofa chair to watch TV. She was so unhappy.

As for Chen Qin... he went to the balcony.

Although there are actually two computers, the company also has a lot of things to do - in addition to Moyou.com, Galaxy Software also has many new businesses. As a reborn person, giving a few casual instructions like just now can save a lot of effort.

Even Ji Xianglin's side is currently preparing to trade some of the CDS that cannot be cashed out in the short term and settle down.

If you have the energy, of course there is something you can do.

But at such a critical moment, Chen Qin talked with Moyou Company and then went to the balcony with the bowl.

In the night, looking at the mountains and night sky between the buildings in the distance, I ate the pork ribs cooked by my grandma.

After gnawing the bones, I washed the dishes and did some eye exercises.

I replied two text messages to Xu Lingling, read a book at the dining table for a while, then picked up the dumbbells from the flowerpot in the living room, and did thirty reps.

Then I went downstairs for a jog, took a shower after I got home, and that was how the first day of school ended.

……

The days seem to have become so dull. It is inevitable that I will not adapt when I first enter middle school, but I will also have new friends and a new life. Days like this are repeated, and the first two weeks of school have passed quickly.

"Crack..."

At seven o'clock this morning, the bubble sound like coconut milk came from the mobile phone under the pillow as usual.

When Chen Qin got up, he complained: "If you want to wake people up, can you use a more normal way? Are you making cross-country calls that cost a few yuan per minute just to cause trouble?"

A girl's chuckle came from the other side of the phone that had just finished ringing.

"Because there is a vocal class in the morning. It's time to practice your voice at seven o'clock. Who told you to get up so late!"

"Forget it, go to your class quickly!"

Chen Qin put on his newly issued school uniform pants, turned on his mobile phone, and turned off the automatic answering function. When he went out, his grandma asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"It's nothing, the phone ringtone is funny."

Chen Qin answered vaguely, sat on a chair and started eating omelette.

Then, the day started as usual.

On the way to school, Song Ziyun was already waiting in advance. When he arrived at the school gate, Chen Qin saw a man in a black windbreaker and a mask standing at the school gate.Does this scene seem vaguely familiar?

However, when Chen Qin and Song Ziyun walked over, the other party didn't react at all. They just stared at a beautiful senior girl. Because they were wearing sunglasses, they thought others didn't know.

Chen Qin recognized the person carefully and felt that although the person was dressed very similar, he didn't look like someone he knew, especially not Xu Lingling's mother, so he didn't care.

As in the past, when he arrived at the classroom of Class 12 and sat in his seat, Chen Qin asked Guo Yang in the front row: "Guo Yang, did you bring the basketball?"

Guo Yang said he would take it with him and handed a written composition book to Chen Qin.

Chen Qin said that we should have barbecue together in the afternoon!Guo Yang agreed somewhat unnaturally.

And all this fell into the eyes of my new deskmate A Yue, so during self-study in the morning, A Yue came over and whispered: "Chen Qin!"

"what happened?"

"Guo Yang asked me to change my phone number yesterday."

"Oh……"

"But he didn't have a mobile phone before. Did you buy him a mobile phone?"

Just like ordinary men and women sitting at the same table, in recent days, the relationship with A Yue has generally improved.

Of course, there are indeed some unusual things. For example, she was not angry when the instant noodle soup stained her clothes that day. For example, she would take the initiative to talk to Chen Qin. For example, in the next few days, Chen Qin and Song Ziyun went to the New Era Internet Cafe. She often goes with him, and she doesn't make any noise when she goes there. The two eldest brothers take care of them when they have time, and stay quietly by themselves when they don't have time.

Every now and then, he would give Chen Qin small gifts, such as snacks, drinks, and small decorations.

This way of getting along can only be said to be a little professional, but it is indeed useful in terms of efficiency.

After all, this is a social scene for middle school students. A more social environment means that the boundaries of private matters will be narrower. Now she and Chen Qin can directly inquire about private gifts without having an out-of-the-way relationship as tablemates.

Chen Qin denied it on the spot: "It's nothing."

"What are you talking about? I saw him doing homework for you every day. You are not afraid of being found out by the teacher." A Yue whispered, "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Chen Qin nodded and didn't reply, and Ah Yue didn't ask any more questions. After that, she was still looking at Guo Yang in the front row with confusion, not knowing what she was thinking.

After the second period of class, Song Ziyun and another child who was obsessed with games gathered in the second to last row to discuss the interesting things in the games over the past two days.

They were talking about the Chinese Valentine's Day event that just ended, and the next version that was already being warmed up.

It is said that the next version is called "Heroes Challenge Dong". While opening new plots and new dungeons, it seems that a national war map will also be opened. I don't know how to play it.

Chen Qin asked: "Which new content do you think is the most interesting?"

Song Ziyun replied: "It's okay to level up. The national war map must have been harvested by the big tycoons. If we upgrade our life skills in advance, we might be able to earn a lot of Internet fees."

In addition, the student said enviously: "How do you make money through games?"

Song Ziyun said with great dignity: "We have a friend, he has channels, and the game coins can be sold directly to him for money!"

Just then, my former deskmate Li Sitong came: "What are you talking about?"

Song Ziyun said: "Let's talk about games..."

Li Sitong also knew what these boys were playing, so he said: "I have never played Three Kingdoms, but I have heard of "Cao Cao". Is Lin Junjie really playing your game?"

Song Ziyun started to sneer: "Yes, he owns a house in our area. It is said that he spent millions on it when it was auctioned. It was real money!"

Chen Qin pointed out: "It is said to be equivalent to US$12."

Li Sitong was surprised: "That's a lot. A house in the game costs US$12?"

Song Ziyun said proudly: "Of course, virtual real estate is a hot topic recently. The game company guarantees that these real estate properties can be permanently valid and can be traded freely. Maybe a house costs 12 yuan now and 120 million yuan in the future. Many rich people are speculating on it." , even Lin Junjie’s house can only be considered mid-range in the game!”

Li Sitong was curious: "Do you have any? I heard that you seem to be making money in the game."

"Hey, where is this? Let's make some money. The cheapest houses now cost hundreds of thousands of game points, which would cost at least 2000 yuan in real money."

"Oh……"

Li Sitong nodded thoughtfully and looked at the curriculum on Ayue's desk: "Hey, I posted this curriculum here. It seems that Guo Yang's father agreed."

A-Yue then smiled and replied: "It seems that Chen Qin and I are getting a bargain! Speaking of which, I was late that day, and my boss asked me to sit next to Chen Qin, so I sat here."

Li Sitong asked curiously: "Why? Because Chen Qin studies well? I heard that he used to be the top student at Longshan Primary School!"

A Yue said: "Probably, my grades are not as good as yours. Teacher Qiu arranged for me to sit here, and I will need classmate Chen Qin to teach me more in the future."

"Weren't you No. 1 in the last quiz, Ayue? You were pretty good, too."

It was obviously the boys talking about games, but the two girls ended up chatting by themselves. After talking for a while, class was about to begin, and everyone in the front row had gone back.

Ah Yue looked at their leaving figures, her little face puffed up, but when she turned around, she saw what Chen Qin was writing on the paper.

She leaned over and took a look, and it turned out to be something about "Three Kingdoms Online".

First, I wrote, 'Fair competition cannot be achieved under objective conditions'

Also wrote, 'In asymmetrical competition, the relationship between players is the key point'

Then write 'Charge projects with a free trading basis are more popular'

Ah Yue has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she probably knew that this deskmate was indeed very powerful - Boss Gao, who runs a studio above the New Era Internet Cafe that he often goes to, is very kind to Chen Qin. He and Song Ziyun, two junior high school students, have free access to the Internet, and it is said that these two classmates are members of the studio. Some people from the studio said that Chen Qin found the script software for World of Warcraft for them.

From this perspective, perhaps it is easy to understand that Chen Qin himself spends money lavishly. In fact, Boss Gao has been helping to make suggestions recently when he opens up new markets.

However, as time passed, Ah Yue also vaguely felt that something was wrong.

For example, today - do you need to study these contents if you want to write a script for a game studio?

So she asked: "Chen Qin, Brother Gao and the others were going to start playing "Three Kingdoms Online" a few days ago. I heard that it seemed to have failed."

When Lao Qiu came in, Chen Qin closed his notebook and replied casually: "It's quite normal. Although popular games are more suitable for buying and selling virtual items, not every game is suitable for using scripts to make money. If trial and error doesn't work, it's also a good thing to give up early. "

Ah Yue asked enthusiastically: "I feel like you know games very well. Have you ever played games yourself?"

"I want to be able to play games by myself, and I'll sit here and go to school with you. Let's take your class!"

Chen Qin said something to her, and Ah Yue stuck out her tongue and took out her English book from the hole in the table.

Chen Qinze shook his head secretly. With his business now, Boss Chen has a net worth of tens of billions. Now is really not the time to play games honestly.

But...of course he has his reasons.

An important reason is of course personal health. After all, I have been busy all year long, and it is really time to take a break. At least the eye level cannot continue to rise.

besides……

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Qin looked out the window.

I was just relaxing my eyes as a rule, but on the playground outside the window, I saw the man in black that I had seen in the morning walking in.

He was obviously a man, neither tall nor low, and looked suspicious all over. Then he was noticed as expected - the playground in the third period was empty, and the man in black was particularly conspicuous after he appeared. A physical education teacher went over and pulled him Sleeves, asked him something.

With such a long distance, Chen Qin didn't know what they were talking about. The man in black had his back to the teaching building, so Chen Qin couldn't see clearly what he looked like. He only saw that he had taken off his mask. Maybe he was seeing someone. When it came to his true appearance, the physical education teacher finally did not twist him and send him to the guard room.

But at this moment, Chen Qin saw it - the man took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, and he and the PE teacher lit one each... and that's not all.

He also took out something and thrust it into the hands of the physical education teacher. Chen Qin recognized that it seemed to be Bao Ruan Yuxi. He had given this thing away before, and the price seemed to be quite expensive.

The physical education teacher put the cigarette in his pocket, looked much better, and finally let go of the man in black.

But the suspicious man in black didn't leave either. Instead, the two of them smoked cigarettes and started talking in the empty playground.
