The result disappointed her greatly - a black avatar, a spotlessly clean circle of friends, this person's online life was extremely boring.
Zuo Pingping forgot her original purpose and started to scroll through her Moments. As she scrolled through them one by one, she found that many people were talking about a game.
[Finally cleared the game. Is there anyone in my circle of friends who hasn't cleared it yet?]
[Picture] (A picture from the game "Sheep, Sheep", but it's obvious it's photoshopped.
The reply below is:
【Another crazy one.】
【Why are you also playing this stupid game?】
What kind of game is this? This is the third time I've seen it today.
"Sheep a sheep?"
Zuo Pingping's eyes moved to her hand. The naughty kid was kneeling on the ground with his cell phone on the seat, tapping his fingers and having fun.
What game is this? Is it so popular?
...an hour later.
The naughty kid finally fell asleep, and the phone returned to Zuo Pingping's hands.
Zuo Pingping couldn't sleep.
The circle of friends seemed to be going crazy. More and more people started talking about this thing called "Sheep Lost a Sheep", which made Zuo Pingping feel very strange.
Don’t these people usually play games?
This piqued her interest.
She picked up the phone that still carried the warmth of the naughty child.
…
"Attention, passengers! Attention, passengers! Our next stop is Pingyuan Station. Passengers getting off please prepare in advance..."
Zuo Pingping raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at the passengers around her who were getting up to get their luggage. She said belatedly:
"Huh? We're at the station? So soon?"
On the phone, a pop-up window popped up at the right time: "The slot is full, share it with your friends and torture him/her!"
Zuo Pingping ruffled her hair and stood up, only to find that a passenger sitting next to her was also playing the same match-3 game as her.
She couldn't help but suspect that if she walked around the carriage, she might see seven or eight people playing this game.
How did this game become so popular?
…
In the gaming world, a strange storm is brewing, while in another small circle, a storm has already occurred.
"According to the usual practice in the V-circle, a song that reaches 200,000 views is called a Hall of Fame song, and a song that reaches 1 million views is called a Legend song."
"Currently, there are four V-circle hits that have become Hall of Fame songs: 'Ode to a Millennium Recipe,' 'Owe a Hug,' 'Owe Me a Shot,' and 'Power Over the World.'"
"Among them, 'Power Over the World' was only recently inducted into the Hall of Fame."
"You might have noticed I didn't mention the song that's been going viral lately..."
"Because fucking hell, this song has been out for a week and it's already got 500,000 plays. It's going to be fucking legendary!"
"Yes, this song is 'Ordinary Disco,' the first new song released by a new uploader. Judging from the current momentum, in a week or two, this song will have over a million plays and become a legend..."
"If this song gets over a million plays within a month, it will become the fastest V song to become a Legend song in history, including in the Japanese V circle..."
"No more talking, brothers, assist a million!"
...During the three days of Qingming Festival, it seems as if the seeds planted before all sprouted and bloomed and bore fruit at the same time.
The revenue from the game "Sheep and Sheep" and the single play of "Ordinary Disco" have created a two-pronged situation.
During the three-day holiday, Beichen Company made a lot of money, earning a total of 30 million.
The 30 million not only includes the advertising revenue of "Sheep", but also includes the revenue of "Synthetic Watermelon".
Compared to the visibly popular "A Sheep", "The Big Watermelon" is the kind that made a lot of money without making any noise.
If "Sheep and Sheep" is an open fire, then "Synthetic Watermelon" is a hidden fire.
Due to the different nature of the game, "Sheep" can basically only be monetized through advertising.
"Merge Watermelon" has a built-in purchase channel, and monetization is more direct than "Sheep".
So although this game is not as popular as "Sheep, Sheep", its revenue is no less than that of "Sheep, Sheep".
Moreover, this game is not like "Sheep", which is fraudulent and does not sell negative emotions. In the long run, this game has a longer lifespan.
The combination of the two games generated a huge amount of revenue for the young Beichen Company, almost driving the employees crazy.
Gu Yuqing received 10 million in dividends alone, and other employees received 10 million. Almost everyone received hundreds of thousands, which is equivalent to two years' salary.
Most of these employees are fresh graduates, and the most experienced ones are losers who quit after working in other companies for a month or so.
Where have these people ever seen such a generous boss?
The moment the money arrived, the entire Beichen Company was immersed in a sea of joy, clamoring to increase production capacity.
Suddenly everyone's loyalty was maxed out.
Especially Ishikawa Dong and Luan Qingying. Ishikawa Dong made the greatest contribution, so he got the most money, and Luan Qingying got the second most.
Luan Qingying felt embarrassed to take the money. He also felt that he had caused trouble and wanted to return the money.
Chen Ya naturally wouldn't let him return the money.
Soon after, Beichen Company started its second round of large-scale recruitment. This new company will soon see its first expansion in personnel.
…
As usual, Gaoshan Capital will hold a meeting after the holiday.
Wearing high heels and taking brisk steps, Gu Yuqing walked into the meeting room.
As soon as she entered the door, she paused for a moment, then walked in and sat down freely.
"Dad, you're here too."
"Yeah." Gu Zongyan nodded, but didn't look at his daughter. "I heard some rumors about you recently."
Gu Yuqing forced a smile on her face: "Dad, if you want to know about me, just ask me, why listen to rumors?"
Gu Zongyan glanced at her sideways, and Gu Yuqing immediately calmed down and asked seriously, "What rumor?"
In the conference room, other company executives were also seated. The smooth white long table was as calm as the surface of a lake, the atmosphere was as heavy as stagnant water, and the cautious breathing sounded like mist floating above the long table.
"I can only tell you that it's a bad rumor," Gu Zongyan said coldly, "As a girl, you should be more careful about your reputation."
"Oh? What's my current reputation?" Gu Yuqing asked coldly, "How come I don't know?"
