August 3rd.
Light rain.
Lu Yuan got up from bed early and made himself a seemingly rich and nutritious breakfast according to the recipe.
Lu Yuan really enjoyed the food.
Although……
Eating breakfast alone is boring.
I always feel like I'm the only one in the entire huge company making noises in the kitchen...
Very strange.
Lu Yuan looked in the direction of Wang Hao's room.
Previously, Wang Hao would occasionally have breakfast with me, but now that Wang Hao is participating in "The Voice of China", no one is with me anymore...
He can only eat alone.
You said there are also Wu Tingting, Wang Jinxue and Xu Lu?
Lu Yuan once enthusiastically invited the two to taste his cooking skills, and repeatedly stated that he was no longer the Lu Yuan with poor cooking skills...
But……
No one gave Lu Yuan a chance to prove himself.
Wu Tingting was fine. She kept saying that she was losing weight, so she only ate apples for breakfast every day. Xu Lu and Wu Tingting were also in the same group and said they wanted to lose weight. As for Wang Jinxue, she simply ignored Lu Yuan's words, as if she didn't hear what Lu Yuan said at all.
As for Fatty Wei, Li Qing and others?
When these people heard Lu Yuan invite them to breakfast, their expressions instantly became as exciting as if they were opening a soy sauce shop.
They kept saying they were busy, and kept saying they had already had breakfast and couldn't eat any more...
Lu Yuan felt very stiff when he saw them rushing to leave the company.
Are you really that busy?
Lu Yuan shook his head.
Cooking skills can be improved. Maybe my innate talent is a little lacking, but I can still improve through acquired efforts, right?
Is it necessary to be as fearful as a tiger?
However, Lu Yuan couldn't capture these guys and force them to eat the food he cooked, right?
After sighing for a while, Lu Yuan packed up his breakfast and returned to the office.
Two days later, "A Chinese Odyssey" will begin.
Xu Lu and others have gone to Zhenbeibao to do various jobs with the crew.
Calculating the time, Lu Yuan will have to leave tomorrow...
Staying in the office, Lu Yuan put down the psychology books and opened the "remote" game platform.
Yes!
The "Remote" game platform has been online for more than a month. During this period of time, the "Remote" game platform has made some profits for Lu Yuan...
Although the profit is not much, only about 300,000 yuan a month after deducting some maintenance costs and wages, but at least the company is still profitable.
Building a gaming platform is not like making a movie.
It takes two or three months to shoot a movie, and the results will be known ten days after the movie is released. However, a game requires a little accumulation and publicity from players, especially a small game platform like this, which takes longer to accumulate.
In short, the game company is indeed profitable, and Liu reports to Lu Yuan every few days on the user growth of the game platform, as well as the daily profits and statements generated. These things tell Lu Yuan that it's okay to take it slow.
only……
The "Remote" game company paid an extra three months' rent in Yanjing.
no way……
The two houses in Hangzhou Science and Technology Park are still under renovation and many facilities are incomplete. Even if the company wants to move there, it won’t be able to move there for a while, right?
Lu Yuan calculated the time.
It will probably take until the beginning of next year to renovate the two houses and put the necessary office tools in.
Well, it’s around the end of February or March.
After playing the game for a while, Lu Yuan felt a little bored.
Lu Yuan had long been tired of playing these games in his original world...
Lu Yuan searched the Internet and finally found an online game called "Martial Arts World".
Um……
It is a turn-based PK game launched by Tianxin Company, one of the domestic game giants.
But after Lu Yuan downloaded it and played one or two rounds, he felt like he was playing an old game.
For some reason, he even felt that this "Martial Arts World" was not as good as his company's previous game "Magic World"...
pity……
There are too many bugs in "Magic World", and the internal programming of the program is not rigorous enough. When a small bug appears, it is often necessary to push the entire program again and start over...
Of course, these cannot be blamed on Liu Cixin.
Liu has done well enough. He has tried his best in many things and done them in the way of dreams...
In this era of ever-increasing Internet advancement, it is really difficult to make a good game.
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan looked for other games on the market, but the final result was somewhat disappointing.
There are 3D games, but the graphics quality of the so-called 3D games are really ordinary, and the plots are also quite ordinary.
The future gaming industry does seem to have great potential.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The framework of "Magic World" cannot be lost, but the content inside can be based on World of Warcraft...
Yeah, that's right!
I wonder what the stand-alone game market is like now?
Then Lu Yuan opened the stand-alone game market in Chinese games.
After opening it, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up!
He thought of a game, a game that could be made into a TV series and have a very good reputation!
The name of this game is "Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
etc!
When thinking about this, Lu Yuan discovered that in addition to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", there is also "Resident Evil" which can be made into a movie, and...
this……
No, there's more!
Lu Yuan's body trembled!
After a few years when high-end smartphones become popular, the mobile games inside them...
Temple Run...
Cut the fruit...
Even later, when the entire market expands…
There are other types of games as well.
What about competitive games?
"League of Legends"?
I am so...
This moment...
Lu Yuan realized that there were still so many precious treasures in this world that had yet to be discovered.
Even if I don’t want to be a star anymore, I can still make games myself…
call!
Lu Yuan shook his head and suppressed the extremely excited thoughts in his heart.
Then close your eyes.
Now is not the time to think about these things. You have to eat one bite at a time and many things cannot be rushed.
after all……
Today's "remote" game companies are still small teams of only a dozen programmers.
You ask them to do so many fancy things right from the start.
Do you think each of them is a god from heaven with three heads and six arms?
By the way, Liu Cixin and his team are almost done editing “Plants vs. Zombies”, right?
Let's put this game on the market to test the waters first.
Well, if the sales performance is okay, then I can take the test for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"...
Lu Yuan took out his cell phone and called Da Liu.
"Big Liu?"
"Um, good morning, Mr. Lu!"
"You look pretty energetic. By the way, how is Plants vs. Zombies going?"
"It is now in the testing phase and will be officially operational in the middle of this month."
"On August 15th?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
"Oh, okay..."
"Mr. Lu, shall I send you the test version later?"
"Yeah, okay."
"By the way, Mr. Lu, this morning a very capable programmer wanted to join our company as a technical consultant. He seemed quite honest and said directly that he knew some hacking skills..."
"hacker?"
"Well, the technique is very impressive. Xiao Zhang and I have tried it together. But the person may be a little..."
"What?"
"He is a bit unworldly..."
"Not worldly-wise?"
"Well... Mr. Lu, do you think we should take this person..."
"Let's try it first. Our company is so small and poor right now. It's unlikely that this is a spy sent by someone else."
"Well, I understand. That's not right... Mr. Lu, we are not dirt poor. The number of users and consumption this month is not small. We can even make a net profit of over 400,000!"
"Hey, hey, come on..." Lu Yuan listened to Liu Da's passionate voice on the other end of the phone, but he suddenly held back the words in his mind and didn't say them out loud.
He was afraid that speaking out would undermine Liu's self-confidence.
after all……
Now it seems that my casual appearance fee can earn more than the entire company.
"Yes! Mr. Lu, I won't let you down!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan rubbed his head.
The game "Plants vs. Zombies" will be released around August 15th.
How will the sales of this game be?
Will it be as popular as the original world, or will the market response be mediocre?
If this "Plants vs. Zombies" fails, then is it necessary for me to create a "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series?
Lu Yuan, who has always been very calm, is now starting to feel anxious and worried.
After a moment of self-reflection, Lu Yuan was stunned.
Why the hell am I worrying about this?
Do I need to worry about this?
I am a man who has 300 million RMB in cash in my bank card!
Pooh!
And even if it fails, what would happen?
Can this turn me from a billionaire into a pauper?
How is that possible!
Doesn't exist!
Be rich and expand!
Yes, I am so inflated!
When thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but open his phone and look at the deposit in his bank card foolishly, and then smiled happily like a fool...
"Mr. Lu..."
"Come in..." Whenever Lu Yuan felt very happy and self-indulgent, Wu Tingting would always knock on the door at an inopportune time.
Lu Yuan felt that Wu Tingting was just a troublemaker.
have no choice.
But there is nothing I can do.
Lu Yuan retracted his smile and became serious...
"Um... Mr. Lu..."
"Well, what's up?"
Lu Yuan was immediately surprised when he saw Wu Tingting looking embarrassed and hesitant, and even her face turning red.
What happened?
"Um... psychologist Shen Fangfang is coming... Mr. Lu, do you want to meet her..." Wu Tingting lowered her head and spoke every word timidly, even her voice was very soft at the end.
Psychologist: What does this mean?
Only people with mental illness will seek out a psychologist!
Moreover, many people are extremely taboo about mental illness, and feel like they are insulting someone.
And if I suddenly told Mr. Lu about the psychologist, would Mr. Lu feel comfortable?
Maybe he’ll slam the table and get furious?
"What? Please speak louder. I didn't hear you clearly!" Lu Yuan frowned.
"What I mean is, psychologist, Shen Fangfang is coming to visit... to visit you... would you like to see her..." Wu Tingting finally changed it to a visit.
She felt that the word "visit" was very appropriate!
"Yes, I must meet her. I do feel that I am not normal mentally recently, and I have many academic questions about psychology that need to be discussed in depth. When will she come?"
"ah?"
When Wu Tingting saw Lu Yuan's eyes flash with joy, she was stunned.
this……
Mr. Lu’s reaction seemed...
Not only am I not averse to it, not only am I not angry, but I'm even a little excited?
Is this an illusion?
