Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 32: There is a journey between ideal and reality

Lot 034

In addition to the main program, an online game must also consider modeling, textures, music, etc.

Wei Dongsheng didn't expect it to be done by himself.

As mentioned earlier, Wei Dongsheng’s business philosophy is "IT is Idea and Team." Encyclopedia is not Wei Dongsheng’s pursuit. Rather than spending energy to learn textures and music from scratch, Wei Dongsheng would rather hire better employees to do it.

However, the idea is good, the reality is difficult.

The online game industry has just kicked off. Even in large cities such as Yanjing, Shenhai, Guangyang, and Shenpeng, many skilled programmers are not very good at developing online games, not to mention Wuping, a small county. Even for a long-established Internet company like NetEase, when it developed "A Journey to the West" in 2001, the technical background was incredible. How bad is it? The R&D team didn't know how to get the mouse and keyboard events of the HTML page directly from the program, but wrote an additional control, registered it in the system, sent information to the control in javascript, and then forwarded it to the main program. The R&D team of Westward Journey admits that the design is very stupid.

Netease is still like this. Wei Dongsheng lives in a small county in the mainland. Where can he recruit qualified employees?

Some in the small county town of Wuping, all of them were spectators like Huo Yongshan. They saw the label and exclaimed that Wei Dongsheng was a super big cow.

In view of the difficult reality, Wei Dongsheng could only do it himself and make a demo that could show Jing Minqiang's strength.

In all this, Wei Dongsheng bid farewell to the repetitive work of typing on the keyboard, and fell into the pit of program optimization design, racking his brains to think about which algorithms are more robust, efficient and streamlined. Wei Dongsheng went to class during the day, pretending to be holding a textbook, thinking about how to optimize yesterday's functional modules, and from time to time he picked up a ballpoint pen to simulate calculations in the homework. The programmer's world is so vast and so closed, and campus life seems not so boring compared to it.

On October 28, Shanda Network updated the legend to version 1.60 "Hot-Blood Condor", listening to the opinions of players, and simply built-in wax-free and run-up-free functions. Specific to the equipment, the new version launched the magic blood suit and the rainbow magic suit, attracting some private server players to return.

Wei Dongsheng ordered Cyanobacteria to check the source code of the new version of the legend, and found that Shanda Network's update greatly increased the violence rate of the skill book, slightly increased the violence rate of equipment, and deliberately reduced the difficulty for players to obtain equipment. The updated version of Shanda Networks launched new equipment, increased the rate of violence, and reduced the difficulty. Obviously, the purpose is to combat the increasing proliferation of private servers. The legendary private server industry is still in its early stages of development. The current advantage is nothing more than fast upgrades and logins to send advanced equipment. Shanda Network reduces the difficulty of acquiring equipment, and players are more likely to choose to stay in official servers with more numbers and more stable operations.

Shanda Networks reduced the difficulty of the game, and the number of equipment in the game increased, and the equipment trading business of the Internet cafe game studio was naturally affected. On October 25, the daily sales were 874,000 yuan; on November 1, a week later, the daily sales were 649,000 yuan, with a month-on-month growth rate of -25.7%. Legend has increased the rate of violence, and the income of the Internet cafe game studio has plummeted, confirming how fragile the business of sending genuine Legends is. Fortunately, the decline of the equipment trading business was expected by Wei Dongsheng, so he was not as restless as Huo Yongshan.

November 2 and November 3 are weekends. Wei Dongsheng took the opportunity to take stock of October's total revenue.

Perhaps because it has just been established, the revenue of the legendary private server industry chain is not optimistic. On October 20th, the transformation to October 31st only provided Wei Dongsheng with a profit of 802,000 yuan. However, unlike the equipment trading business that is declining day by day, although the absolute profit of the industry chain is small, it is showing a positive growth rate, which is worth looking forward to.

On the Internet cafe game studio, the legendary private server operated by Huo Yongshan has a revenue of tens of thousands of yuan, which is not worth mentioning. In the equipment transaction, although the overall trend continues to decline, the revenue is very impressive, with monthly sales of 29.305 million yuan. After deducting Huo Yongshan's nominal dividend and various expenses, Wei Dongsheng's gross profit is approximately 17.583 million.

1758.3+80.2=1838.5.

In October 2002, Wei Dongsheng made a huge profit of 18.38 million yuan in this game of Parasitic Legend. If Shanda Network had real data, it might be so jealous that it dared to buy murder.

However, under the raging fire, hidden worries are brewing.

Wei Dongsheng counted the total revenue for October with the help of Chlorella. He was shocked that the business list on October 30 showed signs of forgery and at least concealed sales of 7,000 yuan. As mentioned earlier, Wei Dongsheng has never dared to expect the Internet cafe game studio to operate perfectly. As long as the profit margin of the game studio is within the acceptable range, Wei Dongsheng can tolerate the small actions of Huo Yongshan and his team. However, the business list on October 30 was too much, and the fakers were not professional, so I dared to record a few messy accounts on the business list of the day. Is it tolerable or unbearable?

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the water is clear, there will be no evil. Wei Dongsheng will not part ways with Huo Yongshan because of this wrong account, but he must be beaten. If Huo Yongshan recognizes the mistake and is willing to correct it, or if Huo Yongshan does not know, Wei Dongsheng can continue to cooperate with him if he has not seen it; if everything is done deliberately by Huo Yongshan and becomes more greedy and no longer possesses the faithful character of the previous life, Wei Dongsheng will definitely Stop loss stopped cooperating with him and fought back fiercely to eliminate personal safety risks.

Whether to continue cooperating or to part ways, Wei Dongsheng handed over the choice to Huo Yongshan.

November 3 is a Sunday. Under Wu Ping's primary school week system, Sunday afternoon is the time for students to rest. Wei Dongsheng called Huo Yongshan without explaining the problem in advance, and simply asked him to have a light meal at a restaurant at the gate of Wu Ping Yi. Huo Yongshan attended the appointment on time and was inexplicable about this invitation: "You used to go to our school. How can you call me to your school this time?"

Wei Dongsheng thought for a while, didn't go around the matter, just started the article and handed the October 30 business list to Huo Yongshan: "Look."

Huo Yongshan didn't know why: "Is this the business list on October 30?"

Wei Dongsheng was too lazy to pretend Huo Yongshan was confused, put his right index finger and **** together to point to a certain area, and said: "I have a problem with these orders that I have drawn red lines."

Huo Yongshan is still at a loss: "Is there a problem?"

Wei Dongsheng said more clearly: "There is a problem with these orders, at least 7,000 yuan has been lost."

Huo Yongshan stood up arrogantly, his eyes rounded: "Lost money?"

Wei Dongsheng repeated calmly and surely: "There is less money."

Huo Yongshan was quite at a loss, looking at Wei Dongsheng with embarrassment. The atmosphere was silent for about half a minute, and Wei Dongsheng’s cell phone rang suddenly. It was Wei Manman, a female student at the back table: "Wei Dongsheng, have you handled your trivial matters? I'm at your door!"

Wei Dongsheng replied affirmatively: "Wait a few minutes, I will be at the school gate, and I will go home immediately."

Wei Dongsheng hung up the phone, got up and said goodbye: "My classmate has something to do with me, or else, would you go back and review it first?"

Huo Yongshan replied dullly: "Okay."

Wei Dongsheng left the red-marked business list to Wei Dongsheng, and simply walked out of the restaurant. The miscalculation of the business list may be someone's mistake, it may be that Huo Yongshan bullied Wei Dong when he was growing up on campus, or it was Huo Yongshan that was deceived by the student agent salesperson. However, the reason is not important, and the result is not important. What is important is Huo Yongshan's attitude. Wei Dongsheng simply left Huo Yongshan a certain amount of time for him to slowly sort out the causes and consequences and figure out disputes over interests.

Wei Dongsheng walked towards the house and soon saw Wei Manman and her friend Xia Mengjun.

Xia Mengjun is Wei Manman's best friend and friend, used to be at the same table in junior high school, and forged a deep sisterhood. Xia Mengjun is also studying at Wuping No. 1 High School. In the eighth class on the second floor of the first-grade teaching building, he often comes to class nine to find Wei Manman. In the previous life, Wei Manman was concerned that rumours and talks might tarnish her pure friendship with Wei Dongsheng, and often pulled Xia Mengjun to make up the count. In this world, because Wei Dongsheng misses too many classes and is busy with program optimization design, Xia Mengjun is still not familiar with Wei Dongsheng, and she is a little cautious when meeting.

Wei Manman has been acquainted with Wei Dongsheng: "How many houses live in this building, why does it look deserted?"

Wei Dongsheng was too lazy to deceive Wei Manman on such trivial matters: "I just live alone."

Wei Manman didn't really understand what Wei Dongsheng meant. First, he was astonished at what she cared about: "Aren't you afraid?"

This place is on the outskirts of the county, and the surrounding area was originally a mudflat. After Wu Ping Yigao settled down, slow commercial development began. Wei Dongsheng’s small two-story building is popular from the north to the east, but south to west is an inferior field with low yields. When night falls, it is quite frightening. Of course, Wei Dongsheng would not be afraid of these, and said with a smile: "What am I afraid of."

Wei Dongsheng often lives on the second floor, but the second floor is full of servers, computers, and simple computers, making it inconvenient to greet and send guests. Wei Dongsheng led Wei Manman and Xia Mengjun to the unused first floor lobby: "The weather is cold and it is not suitable for cold drinks. Would you like a cup of hot tea or coffee?"

Wei Manman refused: "Don't drink."

Xia Mengjun followed Wei Manman: "I don't drink either."

Wei Manman looked around in the living room: "Your room is so empty, except for the sofa and guest table, all...Huh, is this a computer?"

Wei Dongsheng desperately tried to clean himself up before it was too late, so naturally he would not deliberately hide the fact that he could program with computers. Considering that the large array of servers and simple computers on the second floor was too shocking, Wei Dongsheng deliberately placed a desktop computer in the most prominent position in the living room. Wei Manman and other classmates and friends came to visit. When they saw this computer, they would subconsciously understand and accept Wei Dongsheng's computer programming skills.

In 2002, computers, whether desktops or notebooks, were still a rarity in Wuping County.

The angle of view was narrowed down to Wei Manman. His parents regarded computers as a scourge affecting students' learning, and they agreed to buy a computer for Wei Manman until the end of the college entrance examination. During Wu Ping's three-year high school career, Wei Manman often followed Wei Dongsheng to Internet cafes actively or passively to learn about the new world of the Internet.
