Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

Xu Bo, this person is very familiar to Yuan Zhou.

However, in fact, any player who has played NetEase's "Fantasy Westward Journey" online game in his previous life knows this person.

He is the real hero of the game "Fantasy Westward Journey" and the main planner of "Fantasy Westward Journey".

Without him, there would be no "Fantasy Westward Journey" game, there would be no "Fantasy Westward Journey"'s super terrifying attraction, and there would be no "Fantasy Westward Journey" horror game life cycle that lasts for 20 years and has hundreds of thousands of people online. .

Even "World of Warcraft" has fallen, but "Fantasy Westward Journey" is still flourishing.

Xu Bo actually contributed a lot to this. Without the economic system he designed, "Fantasy Westward Journey" would never be as powerful.

This is an online game that can really make money for many players, and countless people have become rich and earned their first pot of gold through it.

In his previous life, Yuan Zhou's cousin Zhou Wei was one of them, earning tens of thousands per month from power training and reselling accounts.

And the most exaggerated thing about this game is that it has countless rich players. Spending tens of millions on the game is nothing at all, there are players with hundreds of millions!

All this is because of the person in front of me - Xu Bo! "Three, five, seven"

This guy, from a game planning perspective, is undoubtedly a genius.

And life is also extremely inspiring and legendary.

He only has a junior high school education and does not know how to develop, has never learned programming, and does not understand games. As written on the resume in front of him, he is just a customer service, a young man who has been working as a customer service for 6 or 7 years.

However, he is such a person. In the new 2020 Hurun Report, he ranks 197th, with assets reaching 26 billion!

And all this is just because of an accident.

The release of "Fantasy Westward Journey" was actually an accident.

In early 2002, the online game "Westward Journey 1" had failed, and NetEase began to develop "Westward Journey 2".

Xu Bo was just a customer service officer at the time. He participated in the internal beta of Dahua 2. After playing for a few days, he felt that there were many problems, so he wrote a feedback piece of more than 30 pages.

But what's the result?

The planning team of Dahua 2 did not accept his suggestions for revision.

At this opportunity, Xu Bo asked Dingdang, the manager of NetEase's game department at the time, if he could hand over the previously failed "Westward Journey 1" to him, and he wanted to realize his idea in it.

After a year and a half of development, Dahua 1, a project that had been basically abandoned by NetEase, was relaunched with a complete version under the leadership of Xu Bo and renamed "Cinderella", the predecessor of Fantasy Westward Journey.

Due to the early stage of internal beta testing of the game, the product name has not been officially announced, so some media reports and folk rumors have temporarily referred to this product as "Westward Journey: Cinderella" or "Dahua Q Version".

It wasn't until last year, that is, November 15, 2003, that this game had all its art resources replaced.

Fifteen days later, NetEase officially announced that "Fantasy Westward Journey" is the only name for this Q-version style NetEase masterpiece.

Therefore, Xu Bo, as a customer service officer without any say in the early days, almost single-handedly transformed an abandoned product into NetEase's most representative game in recent years.

However, Ding Sanshi was unkind later. "Fantasy Westward Journey" helped NetEase earn tens of billions, so he gave Xu Bo a reward of 200,000.

Xu Bo left directly and founded Duoyi Online Game Company.

Of course, this happened 2 years later.

"Now Xu Bo has obviously just received NetEase's attention. After all, "Fantasy Westward Journey" has only been launched for three months and has not yet become a hit!"

"But... did you send him as an undercover agent to explore the social game that was updated to version 2.0 on our school intranet?"

Yuan Zhou could guess what Ding Sanshi had in mind.

However, it can only be said that he thinks too much.

Not to mention the newcomers Xu Bo, even Liang Jie and He Xiaopeng, in fact, do not know what is updated in the school network 2.0. Yuan Zhou is afraid of leaks, so he stays alone in the dormitory to develop.

"However, Xu Bo is a rare talent!"

"I'm definitely going to stay!"

In this era when everyone only copies legends, it is very important to have such originality as "Fantasy Westward Journey". Without Xu Bo, there would be no Fantasy.

Yuan Zhou feels that NetEase has indeed gone too far in this matter.

Of course, it’s good to be honest and business-like, so it’s good that you didn’t directly give him a certificate... After all, in 2004, 200,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money for a customer service graduate who graduated from junior high school!

Yuan Zhou continued to look at the resumes there. There were several resumes from recent college graduates. In fact, he was quite skeptical.

If you want to go undercover in another company, public occupations and fresh college students are the best candidates.

The so-called public occupations are clerks, customer service, cleaners and other positions that every company must have. Because there are many people to recruit, and the personnel will not be scrutinized one by one, because there is no need, these people are generally out of reach. The company's core secrets.

Of course, this is just a general situation. Customer service like Xu Bo is extraordinary. As long as he wants to, he can easily access many companies' internal information.

The other type is fresh graduates.

Their identities are innocent, their resumes are blank, and there is no way to check their personnel background.

"Let's use it first and see!"

Yuan Zhou highlighted several fresh graduates. These students who graduated from 985 universities did not apply for jobs in large groups, but came to their small company that had just been opened for half a month?

This in itself is debatable.

After reading the resumes one by one and the interview next door was almost done, Yuan Zhou was just about to listen to the situation when he heard the sound of the office door.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Tiejun walked in from the outside with a bright face, followed by Lin Wenbin who was obviously frightened.

Obviously, this is the first time that Lao Lin knows that Yuan Zhou has done such a big thing as starting a business.

His mental state was obviously somewhat stimulated.

"Yuan Zhou, this time, the school will definitely help you come forward!"

"What Penguin did was too unreasonable to plagiarize your work?"

"I have contacted several alumni from my university, and they will all speak out for you online!"

Zhang Tiejun snorted and talked to Yuan Zhou there...

In addition to mentioning Yuan Zhou's entrepreneurship, this interview actually wanted him to talk about Penguin. However, since Yuan Zhou himself could not be interviewed, they could only interview people he knew.

At least I didn’t come back empty-handed.

"Principal, Penguin...you have admitted your mistake!"

"They just took down the classmate website, so... I won't bother you!"

Yuan Zhou was talking there, Zhang Tiejun was obviously stunned for a moment: "Ah? Did Penguin admit his mistake? So quickly?"

When he thought about it, how could such a large group company admit its mistake so easily?

"Yes, they issued an apology statement and removed the website of my classmates who plagiarized me!"

Yuan Zhou told Zhang Tiejun what happened, and Zhang Tiejun suddenly looked serious: "This shows that evil prevails over good. You did a good job in this matter!"

"To deal with them, we should attack like a wolf!"

Yuan Zhou really doesn’t want to stay here anymore.

This damn official accent is too strong!

"Principal of the school, if you have nothing to do, should I leave first?"

Lin Wenbin finally found a chance to interrupt and spoke quickly.

Yuan Zhou immediately agreed: "Just in time, Teacher Lin and I are going out together!"

"ah?"

Zhang Tiejun obviously didn't expect Yuan Zhou to leave so soon: "Is something wrong with you?"

He still has a lot to say to him!

"Yes, I feel like I have a headache!"

Yuan Zhou quickly held his head.

"Okay...Okay, that's it!"

Zhang Tiejun still knew about Yuan Zhou's request for leave due to illness.

"Yuan Zhou, if you need anything, just call me. If you ask for leave to stay in the dormitory, if half a month is not enough, then take a few more days of rest!"

"However, if you can't reach 3.9, you will miss your studies..."

"There are less than ten days left, but it's my first time to take the final exam, which is related to the college entrance examination, you know?"

Zhang Tiejun was chattering and caring, while Yuan Zhou hurriedly laughed and kept perfunctory.

After walking out of the office with Lin Wenbin, the two of them exhaled a long breath at the same time.

Obviously, Lin Wenbin couldn't stand Zhang Tiejun's attitude, although in Yuan Zhou's view, hiding his talents was all a good intention.

But who can withstand such concern?!

"Teacher Lin, let's go!"

Yuan Zhou was still very polite, but Lin Wenbin took a deep look at Yuan Zhou and sighed: "Yuan Zhou, tell me honestly, did you go to your company when you took leave a few days ago?"

"You're not sick at all, are you?"

Look, the person who knows you best, besides your parents, is your class teacher.

Although Lao Lin seems to be a fool, he still has a lot of thoughts.

"Old Lin, would you be sad if I said yes?"

Yuan Zhou suddenly glanced at Lin Wenbin. Lin Wenbin still didn't react: "You...what did you call me?!"
