Chapter 94 Plants vs. Zombies [Please subscribe! ]

On April 4, the Grain Rain, the weather in Beijing was a mixture of drizzle and flying sand. Wang Chengguang arrived at the Zhongguancun Spark Game Studio early in the morning.

When he passed by the Xinghuo Weibo department, the head of the Weibo project department gave him a new congratulations: the number of official registered users on Weibo had exceeded 800 million!
Wang Chengguang was also generous. He said during the initial research and development that if the project became a big hit, in addition to the basic monthly salary in the month of launch, everyone would receive a bonus ranging from 3000 to yuan.

This bonus still needs to be paid out in practice.

Inside the game studio.

Wang Chengguang summoned the main team leader, listened to the overview of the internal beta version of the tower defense Three Kingdoms, nodded and said, "The Three Kingdoms game is still worth looking forward to, let's open beta on May 1st."

The person in charge of Three Kingdoms Games smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Wang, that's easy to say, but I heard that the people downstairs are also planning to launch a Weibo game center? Will it start with Landlord, Mahjong, etc.?"

"So should we continue to cooperate with Xiaonei.com, or go to our own platform?"

Wang Chengguang did not hesitate. “If we use our own platform, the total number of registered users will surely exceed 10 million before May 1st. With a scale of 10 million, it is no longer a small platform.”

As I said, the majority of people who use Weibo now use PCs, and mobile game development is just in the works. It will take two to three years for Weibo to fully transition to mobile phones.

Until 2010, the original track of Zhalang Weibo also had more computer users.

It is normal for Xinghuo Weibo to launch its own game center, which has already conflicted with the campus network.

However, the overall conflict is not big. It will only happen when the Happy Farm web game is ported to the Xinghuo Weibo platform.

But this month, Xiaonei.com has gained two to three million new registered users, and is on its way to reaching 4000 million. The additional millions in advertising fees were still paid in a timely manner.

High-quality active users are the most important!!
The next moment, Wang Chengguang smiled and asked, "How is the development of Plants vs. Zombies going?"

That's right, he had already instructed the game studio to do something big, in addition to the Happy Farm, Three Kingdoms Tower Defense, and King of Glory card games that started with the bombing.

Plants vs. Zombies also has a super heavy hammer weapon!

This is a casual game that became popular all over the world in the summer of 09, not just in China.

The original version is still a stand-alone game that needs to be downloaded and installed, but from the beginning of the design, Wang Chengguang defined this interception as a web game, semi-stand-alone, but an interactive game that can launch a ranking list.

Of course, the various operations such as selling gold coins and high-level plants in the later mobile game mall were also transplanted into the first version as soon as they were started.

The trend of Plants vs. Zombies is no less than the trend of everyone stealing vegetables.

As long as it is done well, this will become the Xinghuo Weibo Game Center, a flagship product that will establish its own school, and will also be able to attract a large number of new Weibo users to give them money.

The studio manager nodded and explained, "You, the boss, control the entire game structure and various gameplays, and each R&D team just does the homework."

“Plants vs. Zombies is expected to be available for internal testing in May, and for public testing by the end of May at the latest.”

Wang Chengguang clapped his hands happily, "Well done, you can tell the R&D team later. It's still the same old rule. As long as the game is a big hit, each person will receive a bonus ranging from 3000 to 20000 for a few months."

Several supervisors were very happy and they were really lucky to have met such a generous boss.

Wang Chengguang inspected the progress of each project in the studio, had a chat with the finance department, and then went downstairs to start work at the Weibo branch.

Today, the curtain has officially opened for one thousand newlywed couples from Dade Group to take free wedding photos in Hanfu at the chain of Hanfu museums in four cities, reminisce about the culture of Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and visit tourist attractions.

In addition to being the best national father-in-law and super rich man, Meng Laicai's Dade Huitong era became popular thanks to this group wedding.

If today was not Sunday and the stock market was closed, it is estimated that Dade’s stock price would have soared again. It will definitely rise when the market opens tomorrow.

A large number of newlyweds have started to log on to Weibo and show off their wedding photos in Hanfu after taking them! !

Wang Chengguang sponsored 30,000 yuan and invited three students from Zibo Normal University and a dozen classmates to go back to Zibo for fun and barbecue.

Just as Wang Chengguang said at the beginning, tourism fever has been on the rise in this era, and various small news reports of tourists being ripped off and cheated are common, which has negatively cooled the tourism fever in many different cities and caused many netizens to complain.

Zibo's cultural tourism cooperation cannot play a big role, and it is impossible to give the whole people the experience of the 20s from top to bottom, but Zibo citizens' stall owners and shop owners do not overcharge customers, provide better service, and are fair and just, compared with other news about overcharging customers and unscrupulous tour guides...

Everything is afraid of comparison, so I want to highlight that the people of Zibo are simple and honest and there are many good people.

This can attract traffic. Even if the May Day Golden Week in 08 only earns twice as much tourism economy as the Golden Week in 07, it will be a great success.

It is impossible to achieve the Zibo barbecue popularity of the 20s.

But attracting people from Shandong Province to Zibo is a big profit!
The core of this hype is that the profit in 08 was much higher than that in 07! It contrasts the kindness of Zibo’s hospitality and other behaviors of ripping off customers.

………………

Night arrived again as expected.

At about one in the morning, Wang Chengguang, who had just fallen asleep for more than an hour, was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He asked twice in a slightly irritable tone, and Gu Jingjing's weak voice rang from the other side, "Mr. Wang, I applied in advance to help Nini and I take a group photo of the flag-raising ceremony on Chang'an Avenue..."

"You go to bed so early?"

Wang Chengguang suddenly realized, "Yes, OK, I'll get up right away."

Gu Jingjing and Wang Manni will be at the Beijing Auto Show tomorrow to promote Volkswagen's low-priced and affordable models. This will also be the first time for them to make an official public appearance.

What should be posted in the first group photo? It is also very important.

After much thought, I still think it’s best to watch the flag-raising ceremony in the second half of the night.

This matter could be done by asking other professional photographers. However, while chatting, Wang Chengguang felt that his physical fitness was getting better and better, he needed less sleep, and his home was not far from the flag-raising ceremony on Chang'an Avenue.

Since it was easily available, I accepted it immediately.

When he simply washed up and went downstairs, Gu Jingjing and Wang Manni were already waiting there, both still wearing the same school uniform.

They both wear side ponytails, blue and white sports school uniforms with sneakers. At most, this style of uniform highlights their slim waists and long legs... They only have fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs.

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Not bad, very pure and sporty. Wear school uniform to watch the flag-raising ceremony. Let's go."

Gu Jingjing walked to the driver's seat swiftly, "Boss Wang, did you disturb my sister-in-law's rest? I didn't mean to disturb you. The photographers in our company are inferior to you, but their salaries are not low."

Wang Chengguang was speechless. The people that Xinghuo hired to take photos for the internet celebrities were only at the excellent level, whether they were mid-excellent or top-excellent. Compared with him, who had mastered photography to the mid-level of excellence, there was a huge gap.

Photography, Excellence, (2187/5000).

This is not something I deliberately improved. I often helped people take beautiful photos in the company studio, and I got better through practice.

With his ability, he can capture a moment and amaze the audience better and more directly than many PS-edited renderings.

His photo editing skills were beginning to fall apart in his hands. What surprised Wang Chengguang was that when the three of them arrived at the flag-raising square, Wu Di, Yang Zixi, and another young man who looked familiar to him but whom he had never seen before were waiting.

Seeing Wang Chengguang, Wu Di strode over quickly and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, I heard that you guys are going to take a group photo tonight to watch the flag-raising ceremony. Xiaoxi and I are here to join in the fun."

"By the way, that's my half-brother Wu Wei. I also persuaded him to open our Xinghuo Weibo account, but we haven't promoted it yet..."

"I think if we promote it, we can also attract a certain number of fans on Weibo. My brother is considered a small stock god in the Chinese market. He is also popular on the Internet. Many small stock investors treat him as an idol."

Wang Chengguang was speechless, "Then your brother can promote it."

Wu Wei, the little stock god, is a model of a strong man, one of the small peaks that ordinary people can reach. Unfortunately, in the year the story begins, Wu Wei was diagnosed with brain cancer, that is, the late stage of glioma.

That was 2011, and now it is 2008... It seems that if I had been reminded to go for a checkup in advance, it might have been in the early or middle stages? Can I try to save it?

Of course, he couldn't just tell Wu Wei that he had a brain glioma. Even if he had learned some traditional Chinese medicine, he couldn't be so abrupt.

Next time you see Wu Wei, try to invite an old Chinese medicine practitioner or a famous doctor to be present. Perhaps a truly great doctor will be able to suspect that Wu Wei has a disease by observing his qi.

It was not surprising for Wang Chengguang to find a famous Chinese medicine doctor. He had already started to learn Chinese medicine on his own, so it was normal for him to seek advice from a national master.

In the entire Beijing love story, Shi Xiaomeng is an ordinary small town test-taker who encounters pressure and torture and becomes a representative of sadness and darkness.

Wu Wei is the true representative of the rise of ordinary people!

This man was raised by a single father, who met a single mother who raised Wu Di, and they reunited as a family. He went to study abroad in New York for college, and they were so poor that they had no money to go to parks and other places during the holidays.

I often drink the leftover drinks in the bar with other poor international students to relieve my cravings. There was a Chinese international student working in the bar. One customer had one-third of a glass of wine left, and another had one-fifth left... and so on. The leftovers of dozens of customers were mixed together.

Wu Wei and a group of foreign students shared the drink.

Despite being so poor, he returned to China in 1999 and has been active in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. By 2003, he had built up assets worth tens of millions and is now a billionaire.

Later, he took advantage of the stock market to buy stocks and cooperated with Liang Junzheng to snatch the shares of Dade from Cheng Shengen and Cheng Feng's family. If he had not died of brain glioma, he would have left his inheritance to Wu Di and his ex-girlfriend.

This is truly a model of struggle!!

As the two chatted, Wu Wei and Yang Zixi also walked over quickly. Yang Zixi smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Wang, this is our eldest brother, Brother Wei. Brother Wei is a very nice person. I am teaching him how to use Weibo."

Wu Wei smiled and shook hands with Wang Chengguang. "Hello, Mr. Wang. It is an honor for a small shareholder like you to have such close contact with Internet upstarts."

"Thank you for taking care of Wu Di for the past six months. I, a silly brother, have achieved what I have today. I really want to thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Chengguang smiled brightly, "I don't deserve it, Mr. Wu is too polite."

"Now that we're here, if you three want to take a group photo, I can help you."

Wu Wei was overjoyed. "Thank you very much. I've heard Wu Di and Xiao Yang say more than once that Mr. Wang's photography skills are absolutely professional. I don't have the time or opportunity to trouble a professional like you on a daily basis."

While waiting for the flag-raising time, everyone started chatting and the atmosphere was very good.

Wu Wei is a good person in the traditional sense and is not difficult to get along with.

When the flag-raising ceremony was about to begin, Wang Chengguang operated the digital camera, first capturing a few moments and taking a few beautiful photos of Gu Jingjing and Wang Manni, and then helping Wu Wei, Wu Di and Yang Zixi to take additional photos.

After the photo shoot, Wu Wei smiled and said, "Boss Wang, I wonder if your Xinghuo Weibo will invite Shao Huayang to join?"

"Speaking of which, Lao Shao is our Chinese stock god, the Hua Xia Buffett. He has also risen from the grassroots since he entered the stock market in the late 80s. Now he is the major natural person shareholder of the circulating shares of nearly ten listed companies."

"He is the creator of the myth of wealth in the stock market. If I am a small miracle among the stock investors on the Internet, Shao Huayang is a super idol."

"I have his phone number and his Penguin ID, but I feel that these two ways of contacting him are a bit too formal..."

"Weibo, a social platform that allows people to send short messages, seems to be more interesting when communicating across space."

Wang Chengguang laughed, "Celebrities like this still have appeal. We at Xinghuo certainly hope to invite him to stay and open a Weibo account, but for the time being..."

I've never come into contact with it before.

Wu Di smiled and said, "Brother Wang, let me try. I'll try to ask him to open a Weibo account. It's funny to say that I met Shao Huayang once when he was singing at a birthday party held by the CEO of a listed group for his father."

Wang Chengguang was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, it was not surprising. During the Spring Festival, coal bosses from Qin and Jin provinces invited Wu Di and Zhang Biao to sing for their parents' generation. Where did the time go?

After that, they must have had similar commercial performances, but it is impossible for everyone to be a coal boss. For ordinary listed group CEOs to invite such commercial performances, the quotation would be around 100,000 to 300,000 yuan.

At that kind of festive banquet, Wu Di and Zhang Biao could meet a lot of people.

No matter Wu Wei or Shao Huayang, they are not big stars, nor serious entrepreneurs, but how many stock investors are there in China?
This has been an endless stream of investors since the late 1980s. These two are the super idols in the hearts of countless investors!

A large number of investors became shareholders through stock speculation, which became an Internet meme 10 years later. However, Shao Huayang and Wu Wei were truly ordinary people who fought their way into large parent groups and became major shareholders.

That Lao Shao is the major shareholder of nearly ten listed groups!!

The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange were opened at the end of 1990, but as early as the mid-80s, there were commercial activities of selling physical paper stocks in small shops and counters in Shanghai and Shanghai.

For example, Shanghai-Shanghai Electric United Company, one of the old eight stocks, started selling stocks in 1987.

Shao Huayang was one of the earliest and leading stock investors who invested in the stock market before the Shanghai Stock Exchange was established.

Wang Chengguang smiled and patted Wu Di, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Meeting the small stock god and trying to invite the big stock god were all accidents. However, if they can come in, it will not be difficult for the water army to stir up trouble among the Chinese stock investors, create publicity and attract tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of stock investor users.

After chatting for a while, the group dispersed.

Gu Jingjing continued to drive back to Shengsheng International before she spoke, "Brother Wang, Wu Di and Yang Zixi brought Wu Wei here to promote this little stock god. Are they asking for credit?"

“Are they worried about being marginalized?”

Wang Chengguang, “…”

Wang Manni glanced at Wang Chengguang and said with a smile, "They are all successful and famous, billionaires, what are they worried about..."

"If I had 100 million, I would go back to my hometown, get married and have kids."

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When you really have 100 million, you won't say that."
