Chapter 2324: The Game Under the Tree



"Where is your girlfriend? Is she still in touch with you?" Someone relied on his status as a boss to bring up all kinds of issues.

"We haven't been in touch. She went to study in the United States." There was no sadness on Yan Wei's face when he said this. It was obvious that he had come out of the shadow of a broken heart.

"He has a new girlfriend now, and she obeys him in everything." Xiao Rong, who is in the same online game group as Yan Wei, interjected.

"How's your Legend going?" Since Xiao Xiao interrupted, Wan Feng asked about online games.

"The completion rate is close to 80%. It will be completed in May, and closed beta testing can be carried out in June. If all goes well, it can be launched in October."

Wan Feng nodded: "Not bad, very well done."

It will be launched in October this year, so the issue of selling point cards needs to be put on the agenda and considered.

There doesn’t seem to be much to think about. Just give it to the computer dealer!

Selling game point cards is not a difficult thing, but the starting point’s charging is a problem.

Before Alipay, money transfers could only be made through the post office, which was not only slow but also troublesome. If Qidian had hundreds or thousands of income-generating authors, this would be a real hassle.

Do we need to create another Alipay?

Wanfeng is really not planning to get involved in the financial sector. This field is very special and is under state control. The waters in it are too complicated.

He is not good at this field. Even if he can recruit capable people, he has no idea about the general direction.

He doesn't plan to get involved in finance, but he can support others in doing so. Think about Xiao Ma now... No! Comrade Ma Yun is several years older than him. Calling him Xiao Ma is disrespectful.

Last year, Ma Yun fooled 18 people into founding Alibaba. However, at Lakeside Garden, the big promises Ma Yun drew did not excite those who were ready to follow him.

There were expressions of confusion and hesitation on their faces, rather than the deep passion that people later claimed was spreading.

Should I support Ma Yun?

If he had supported Ma Yun at this time, Cai Congxin would have had no chance of survival.

This idea stayed in his mind for a long time without him making a decision.

He hesitates and will be affected.

For those who started a business in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it can be said that none of them had it easy.

Those who have successfully started their own business did not have a background that was given for free. Don’t listen to those chicken soup articles in the media that say they were penniless and started from scratch.

Especially those who have returned from studying abroad and started a business and succeeded, if they say that they have a clean record, Wan Feng doesn’t know whether others believe it or not, but he definitely doesn’t believe it.

Wan Feng hesitated for a long time and finally decided to stay out of it. Although the ending was good, he had no idea what happened in between.

If you are not sure, stay away.

Anyway, Alipay has been out since 2004, and the remittance has only been a bit difficult in the past few years. During these years, the website was in its initial stage and the remittance flow was not too large, which was still within an acceptable range.

"Should we hold an online literature competition?" Wan Feng heard Zhang Xuan's suggestion when he returned home after the annual meeting.

"Holding an online literature competition?"

"Yeah! Wangyi and Rongshuxia have both done it, so we should do one too."

From October to November of 1999, the China Internet Literature Award and the First Rongshuxia Internet Original Literature Award kicked off the Chinese Internet literature award season.

Its emergence provides a stage for many literature lovers to express themselves.

Suffering from the high threshold for publishing orthodox works, these young literary people finally have a stage to showcase themselves.

At the same time, the organizers also increased their own visibility.

Take Rong Shuxia for example. The establishment of the online literature competition has greatly increased Rong Shuxia’s popularity and consolidated the brand effect of the website.

This has attracted many young literary people to publish their works under Rongshu, forming a powerful resource library.

This laid the foundation for the later publication of books.

The award ceremony of the first online original literature competition held by Rong Shuxia on November 11 last year has just ended. There are a total of 18 winning authors, including 6 novelists and 12 poetry writers.

Poetry is useless and can be ignored, but Wan Feng has no impression of the six novel authors. He only knows that the daughter of one of them became very famous later in life.

The author's daughter seemed to have become a writer later in life, but she became a public intellectual.

"Let's not do it! It's useless."

Wan Feng considered the so-called online literature they produced to be traditional literature. Although he had founded Qidian.com, he had no plans to pursue a physical presence. Even if he did, publishing would be years away, so what was the point?

"If we don't become authors, won't we all be attracted to other people?"

"Don't worry! It won't live for a few years. If you're interested, you can buy it."

If Wan Feng remembered correctly, Rong Shuxia would be in trouble by next year.

The founder of Rong Shu Xia is a Chinese American. It is said that he came to China in 1994 and established an advertising company, which was then sold to an overseas group for more than 12 million US dollars.

He used the money to open the Rongshuxia website.

Wan Feng strongly suspected that the website he sold for more than 10 million yuan was a form of profiteering, otherwise why would an advertising company be worth so much money.

Otherwise it's a scam.

Converted into Chinese currency, that's more than 100 million.

This year should be the most glorious time for Rong Shuxia. At that time, some famous young writers in China were working under Rong Shuxia, such as the one called Xiao Li Feidao, the one who wrote "Wulin Wai Zhuan", the one called "Baby", and the one who jumped up and hit you on the knees were all there.

It also gave birth to famous works such as The Monkey King.

Also this year, the founder of the Rongshuxia website brought his team to give speeches at universities across the country. Wherever they went, there were loud drums and gongs, firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people.

Xiao Li Feidao and Wulin Wai Zhuan's monthly salary at Rong Shuxia was 20,000 yuan, living in a garden house, and a round-trip ticket to Beijing Shanghai was provided every month.

At that time, the employees under Rongshu treated this place as their home, and were filled with laughter and joy.

By the next year, the site's founder claimed Rong Shu Xia was generating four million in monthly revenue.

In fact, its revenue is only tens of thousands of yuan.

During this period, the owner of the website began to contact more than ten investment companies and wanted to try the same trick of selling an advertising company.

In fact, in Wan Feng's opinion, this is a scam. Through packaging, the company is made to look like it is doing well and then sold or financed.

This routine has become commonplace in later generations, but at that time it was quite novel in China.

If the plane hadn't crashed into the building, his plan would have been successful.

But when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center with a loud bang, Rong Shu's dream was completely shattered by the loud noise.
