Chapter 691 The Beginning of Online Games

Yang Dongxu had been to KTVs to sing and sing in his previous life, but this was the first time he asked a girl to come. Because when he came to KTV, he was either with friends or colleagues, all of whom were familiar people, both men and women, and he had never asked for singing companions.

But if you haven't eaten pork, you've obviously seen pigs run, so everyone knows what singing and drinking companions are. After all, men go to nightclubs to find women to drink with, as long as they are not brainless, they know what they are looking for.

And the best stimulation for men and women to play is undoubtedly to tease women in an ambiguous way. So they held hands while drinking, and even got close to each other, and then someone teased them about kissing, Yang Dongxu had no objection, and he also drank a cup of wine with the girl sitting next to him when Xiaowu and a few others teased him.

But while drinking, I don't know if it was because he was drunk or what, a girl who accompanied him to drink reached out for a cigarette and Yang Dongxu handed her one. But when a girl took out some pills from her small bag that were obviously not serious, his face naturally changed.

In fact, it was not only Yang Dongxu who changed his expression, but also Xiaowu and the others. Although they had done a lot of things like beating dogs and chasing chickens since they were young. But as a traditional rural people, they had never done anything bad, let alone taking drugs.

However, as his expression changed, Xiaotao couldn't help but take a pill and look at it. Obviously, no one had seen this thing, but most people could guess what it was. After all, Yangjia Village had no shortage of TVs, and they had watched a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies and had enough brains.

"Boss, do you want to try it?" Seeing Xiaotao pick it up and look at it curiously, the lady who took out the pill couldn't help but come up and lie in Xiaotao's arms.

"Don't hurt me!" Xiaotao shook his head and refused.

However, while refusing, the curiosity in his eyes could not be concealed. Although he knew it was definitely not a good thing, he always felt that he could get out safely if he tried it, and he was curious about what this thing felt like. As a result, it was difficult to pull it out once he stepped in.

"This thing is just a pill, not a white powder, it's not addictive, and it feels great after eating it." The drunk lady or, holding the pill in one hand and stuffing it into Xiao Tao's mouth, holding the wine glass in the other hand to try to make Xiao Tao drink it.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back." Yang Dongxu said.

He didn't mean to call the police as a biological mother to investigate thoroughly. Unless this thing is removed from the root, it's useless to catch these small fish and shrimps. Even if these points are sealed, it won't take long for people to find other places to sell goods. So in the face of this kind of thing, it's the right thing to stick to the bottom line and resist the temptation.

"Okay, let's go." Xiao Wu pulled his brother up. In fact, he was also very curious about what it felt like to eat that thing.

However, compared to Xiao Tao's young age, curiosity temporarily took the upper hand. Xiao Wu, who was a father, was naturally more mature. I won't touch this thing, and naturally I can't let my brother touch it.

"Xiao Li, the bosses are leaving, let's toast to these bosses together." The girl who was sitting next to Yang Dongxu just now pulled the girl who took out the pills.

No one was too surprised when Xiaoli took out the pills. Obviously, this was not the first time. But for some reason, although she felt that the guests who came today were unfamiliar and generous enough to hook her, she always felt a little uneasy. Especially when Yang Dongxu frowned just now, she was so scared that her body froze and dared not move.

"Then I'll toast to all the bosses. You must choose me when you come to play in the future." Xiaoli paused, then put away her things and laughed with the wine glass.

At the same time, she looked at Yang Dongxu with some anger. Seeing that a good ATM was about to take the bait, it flew away like this. No one would be happy. However, those who hang out in the nightclub and play this naturally have some eyes. Seeing that things are not going well now, she didn't force anything, otherwise it would be more troublesome for her if something happened.

1999 can be said to be a year of vigorous development of China's Internet. Sohu, Xinlang, NetEase. Almost all the Internet giants who are familiar to later generations opened their pockets at this time to harvest their first pot of gold in the IT industry.

Because of Yang Dongxu's appearance, Lei Jun was poached and "Legend" was intercepted. Therefore, Shanda, which could have soared to the top this year, is still the leader in antivirus software, but it is a bit stretched in other aspects. Although it is also planning to go public, without the cash cow "Legend", this road will undoubtedly be much more bumpy.

Yang Dongxu, who came out of his home, first went to Feicheng to see Chen Hong. As the first project he accepted to work for Haina, "Super Winner" has been following the outline planned by Yang Dongxu, but Chen Hong participated in the execution from beginning to end.

Although the first episode did not become a hit immediately after it was broadcast, it was well received and brought a wave of ratings to Anhui Satellite TV. The ratings of the next two episodes rose steadily, which made both parties very confident to make this program a trump card.

After staying in Feicheng for three days, Yang Dongxu flew to Hefei. In the new year, he dug a hole for himself again. After careful consideration, he split the game department from Dongxu Technology and established a new Internet company called Xuri Technology Co., Ltd.

He did not look for anyone else to be the person in charge, but took the position himself. In the past two years, he has been trying to accept various jobs.

But for now, except for Hurricane Construction, where he has to sit in the chairman's position, other companies are basically hands-off bosses. He undoubtedly lacked basic management convenience in the company's initial stage, so he simply split off the game network company and became the general manager himself to hone his work abilities.

In fact, Yang Dongxu also hesitated to place the headquarters of Xuri Technology Company there at first. Shenzhen was undoubtedly the best choice because the Internet development trend there was very good, Zhongguancun was also good, or Magic City was also good. However, after careful consideration, he decided to locate the company in Hangzhou.

When Xuri Technology was founded, it was very low-key. The office was more than 100 square meters, and there was only a game department that had just been poached from South Korea. Then there was a boss and a financial officer who looked like a grassroots team.

However, compared to the shabby appearance, Yang Dongxu, who is now definitely a leader in the mainland business community, has strong capital. Therefore, Xuri Technology’s foundation was very strong.

The game is still in the testing phase, and it has already spent 10 million to build an absolutely top-notch server. In addition, server construction is still in full swing, and it is necessary to support all players around the world to be online at the same time.

"How was the test?" In an ordinary office area, Yang Dongxu walked into the game department, the only department in the company.

"The inner copy has been completed and 13 bugs have been fixed. No new problems have been found so far. The test after three days showed no problems." Quan Zhiming looked at the boss who was younger than himself with a look of respect and even fanaticism.

In fact, when Yang Dongxu was preparing to bring "Legend" back to China from Lianguoduan, South Korea, the R&D department of "Legend" was very repulsive.

Although Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are very popular in South Korea, many mainland stars have emerged in recent years and are loved by Koreans. But the impact on the mainland is the same as that of other foreigners who are prejudiced against China.

Quan Zhiming also feels that mainland China is still in the 1970s and 1980s when even a car on the road was very rare. As for the Internet, and even games, it is simply a desert, okay? Going to the mainland is simply tantamount to suicide.

But under the temptation of high wages and the guarantee of a fixed five-year contract, the entire game development team was reluctantly brought back by Yang Dongxu.

When I first came to Hangzhou, although I was surprised that the mainland I saw was different from what I imagined, I was not too surprised. After all, although Hangzhou is prospering now, it is not the Hangzhou of later generations. Compared with South Korea, it is still slightly behind.

However, Hangzhou, which still looks like a modern city, made the game development team a little relieved that they no longer have to work in an office full of teachers.

Then the feeling of relief turned from surprise to shock, because although the office in front of me was not big. No matter whether it is the laid network, the computers used, or the servers used for testing.

Not to say they are all top-notch now, but they are definitely first-class, definitely one level or more better than what they use in Korea.

Then the boss who forcibly poached them from a continent that was originally thought to be an Internet desert. They were very dissatisfied at the beginning when they pointed out the "Legend" in the first regular meeting. But the more I listened, the more my eyes shone, and in the end I just worshiped.

Looking at these people as if they were fans seeing their idols, Yang Dongxu raised his lips with a proud smile: "As a veteran player of "Legend" for ten years, it is enough to just mention one or two classic settings of "Legend" in later generations. You guys are stunned."

"Be careful and don't be careless. And be fully prepared. There may be more than 100,000 players on the first day of the game." He stood aside and looked at the game screen, as well as the regular test characters running and fighting on the map. Blame Yang Dongxu nodded with satisfaction.

Although the image quality still looks a bit rough, when the warrior uses [Brutal Crash], the image quality in some corners seems to be mosaic-like. However, the overall level is basically passable, and these detailed problems can only be repaired slowly.

"One hundred thousand?" Quan Zhiming looked stunned.

You must know that even if a well-known game company launches a new game in South Korea, it cannot be said that the number of players will exceed 100,000 on the first day. What's more, although he saw that the company attached great importance to "Legend", he also spent a lot of money. But he had never seen any advertising, which made him have no expectations for the number of players on the first day.

But as a game developer, he believes in the quality of his game and has information about his game. Even if it is not popular at first, as time goes by and his reputation gradually grows, he believes that "Legend" will definitely succeed.

But this is obviously a long process, and he is ready for a protracted war. But who would have thought that when his boss came up and said that the number of players on the first day of opening the server would reach 100,000, it would immediately become a hit. This is simply incredible.

"Be prepared, I plan to guarantee 20 districts on the first day." Yang Dongxu smiled and patted Quan Zhiming on the shoulder, which made him look stunned again.

You must know that the servers built by Rising Sun Technology and their game zone settings can have up to 6,000 people online in one zone. The number of players in the 20 new areas on the first day was reaching 120,000, which was 20,000 more than the 100,000 that he originally thought was incredible.

"Be prepared first, be prepared for anything unexpected." Yang Dongxu smiled and did not explain.

As a Korean game developer who came to China for the first time, he obviously didn't understand the madness of Chinese game players. In fact, it's not just him who didn't understand. The current Chinese game companies also don't understand this crazy strength and the existence of a huge cake that will expand rapidly once it is opened.

But they don't know that Yang Dongxu knows, so he actually made a conservative estimate of 120,000 players in the opening area. You know, although he didn't make an announcement to promote Legend, because the general public now fears online games, he couldn't pass the review if he wanted to advertise.

The domestic Internet has just started and there is no chat software yet. The browser is just like that and there is no way to do online promotion, so naturally there is no way to place ads.

Although there is no way to place ads, game promotion has already started. At present, the largest Internet cafe management system in the country is made by Dongxu Technology, and the fertile ground for the rapid growth of Legend is Internet cafes.

So as long as the internal test is completed and the public beta is started, all regular Internet cafes across the country will immediately appear on the display page of the "Legend" port. Even though it was only 1999, there were already millions of Internet users in China, remember? With such a huge base, even if only a few percent of people play "Legend", it is still in the tens of thousands.
