Chapter 186: Being fooled

There is a saying that goes, "Everyone has their own way."

The same goes for hobbies.

The Internet is vast and endless, but human time and energy are limited.

People who like games may not necessarily like music, and vice versa.

So, when this group of people who love games saw on the Metacritic website that all four games developed by WeChat Game Company received excellent scores, and that the company even topped the annual list, beating out Nintendo and Blizzard, they all responded with doubts.

But immediately, another netizen broke another shocking piece of news.

That is the single "Call Me Maybe" by Korean female singer Yoona, which is under Miracle Entertainment, another company of Yang Huan, the founder of WeChat Game Company. It not only received high scores on the Metacritic website, but also ranked first on the US Billboard.

This is the third consecutive week that the song has topped the Billboard charts.

At the same time, this is also Yoona's first US Billboard No. 1 single.

Not only that, the MV of this song also entered the top five of the Youtube Global Rankings, and its current momentum is very strong.

If we look at the Internet data alone, this single has surpassed last year's "Gangnam Style".

Of course, this song did not cause as much social response as "Gangnam Style", but it is also quite good.

This discovery immediately shocked everyone.

Who exactly is this Yang Huan?

Being able to make games is already quite amazing, but he can also write songs!

What’s even more incredible is that he is not only good at making games, but also at writing songs.

This is simply going to surprise everyone.

Because it’s totally unscientific!

How could one person be so powerful?

This time they were really embarrassed.

The party leader has become the most watched and hottest topic on the Internet. All the members of this group of * have also benefited from it and feel proud of it. They have all started to hang out on major websites and social networks with their heads held high and their stomachs shrunk.

*'s prosperity also attracted more and more fans to join.

Yang Family Villa, Longhai, China.

"Master, you're back!"

"Well, I'm back, Uncle Ming. Is my dad here?"

"Yes, master and the others are in the living room!" Uncle Ming said happily.

Followed Yang Wenfeng to the gate and helped open it.

"The master heard about Master Huan's story and is very happy now!"

Yang Wenfeng saw the news when he was at work in the afternoon. He was in a good mood the whole afternoon and was extremely happy.

"Dad, I'm back!" As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but express his joy.

"You're back. We'll have dinner soon!" Yang Huan's mother stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Yang Baoping was sitting at the top, facing the TV background. He pointed at his son who was laughing non-stop and laughed happily as well.

"Do you think he still needs to eat? I think he's already laughed his fill!"

After hearing this, the whole family burst into laughter again.

"Dad, how did you know?" Yang Wenfeng sat down next to his wife and asked with a smile.

His son became very famous abroad, leaving all those foreigners dumbfounded. As a father, he also benefited from this and received many congratulatory calls throughout the afternoon.

His son has become successful, and he feels proud as a father.

Yang Baoping pointed at the big TV and said, "It's on TV, and Lao Zhuang just called me and said it will be on Capital TV's news tonight and will also be in the People's Evening News tomorrow."

As he spoke, he kept laughing happily.

"You said, how could I not know about such a big thing?"

Yang Wenfeng was also a little surprised when he heard this, "Both Capital Television and People's Evening News are paying attention to this?"

That’s Capital Television and People’s Evening News, representing the most authoritative voice in China.

It would be really amazing if even they paid attention to it.

"Well, Lao Zhuang's information should not be wrong!" Yang Baoping was happy.

"I think it's just to catch an example. Recently, the government has been demanding innovation, industrial upgrading, and encouraging overseas investment. Ah Huan has caused such a big stir abroad, and foreign news has reported it. There is no reason why we shouldn't report it in our country."

Yang Wenfeng thought about it and agreed.

But he still couldn't quite believe it, and felt like he was dreaming.

Not long ago, that brat was still a playboy who knew how to squander money. How come he suddenly became smart?

Thinking of this, he, as a father, sighed again.

"Dad, I really feel like I'm dreaming right now."

"That's right. I always thought he was ignorant and I had to worry about everything before, but suddenly he became sensible. It really was like a dream." Yang Huan's mother had the same feeling as Yang Wenfeng.

"Also, he was ignorant before, but he was very obedient. If we told him not to stay outside at night, he would come back every night. But now he is sensible and successful. Nothing has to do with us and he can't make any decisions. When we asked him to come home and stay for a while, he said he didn't have time and would wait a little longer."

After saying this, the mother shook her head and sighed.

If she said as a mother she wasn't worried when her son was away from home, she would be lying.

Yang Baoping laughed out loud, "That's why some people say that a child is no longer under the control of his mother. When a child grows up, it's time to let go."

"That's right!" The mother was also helpless.

"Just now, Lao Zhuang called me. In addition to congratulating me, he also mentioned something."

"What's the matter?" Yang Wenfeng immediately asked with concern.

"I heard that Ah Huan recently invested 10 million pounds in Lao Zhuang's Zicheng to develop some virtual stuff. Anyway, I don't understand it, but I heard it's quite advanced."

Yang Wenfeng nodded, "I heard Zhang Ning mention that if the research and development is successful, it seems that it will be of great use, and the headquarters will be located in Shenzhen."

"I can hear that Lao Zhuang is very satisfied with our Ah Huan, so he asked me to take Ah Huan to the capital city to visit friends and relatives when I am free." At this point, Yang Baoping laughed proudly.

This old man Zhuang finally took the initiative to lower his head!

"So, Mr. Zhuang wants to..."

"Yeah!" Yang Baoping nodded. "I heard that the daughter of the old Zhuang family is also in the UK. I asked Ah Huan to meet her before, but he kept saying that he was busy. I heard that she is a lawyer and quite capable. She is currently working with her teacher in a well-established British law firm. She plans to return to China after accumulating experience in a few years."

"Dad, what does the Zhuang family's child look like?" Yang Huan's mother asked with concern. "I saw him a few times when I was a child. He was pretty and cute, but now he's grown up, and I don't know what he looks like."

Yang Wenfeng took over the conversation and said, "I heard from people that she was so beautiful that many young men in the capital were obsessed with her and even fought with her. It was because of this that Mr. Zhuang sent her abroad to study so early."

"I heard that there are some busybodies on the Internet who are talking about Nanzhang and Beizhuang."

"What is Nanzhang and Beizhuang?"

"Zhang Ning in the south, and the girl from the Zhuang family in the north."

"So, she's a good match for our Ah Huan." Yang Huan's mother was also satisfied after hearing this.

On the contrary, Yang Baoping shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that this kid Ah Huan won't listen to our arrangements. He has his own ideas now. And I can see that he likes Zhang Ning very much, and Zhang Ning is also of the same mind with him. I'm afraid..."

Young people nowadays value freedom in love. Even if they have a tacit understanding before, once love comes, who can stop it?

After he said this, everyone fell silent.

Given Yang Huan's personality, it is not necessarily up to them to make the decision.

"If you ask me, Zhang Ning is really a good girl. She is pretty, smart, capable, and has a good personality. It's just that her background is a bit..."

Many people knew that Yang Huan had supported her. If Yang Huan really married her, there would be no guarantee that there would not be people who would gossip about him.

After all, the Yang family is a well-known and well-connected family, and many things are not as simple as for ordinary families.

"Dad, don't worry, I will find another opportunity to talk to him properly." Yang Huan's mother also sighed.

She and Yang Wenfeng were not in a free love relationship, but they still lived a happy life.

Sometimes, being born into a family like theirs, you inevitably lose something.

"I hope he can understand!" Yang Baoping also sighed.

…………

Yang Huan had no idea what was happening at home as he stood outside the first-team training ground at Staplewood Training Base.

In front of him, three technicians were sitting in front of computers facing the training ground, skillfully operating a set of analysis software on the computers to collect data.

In the training ground, every player is still actively involved in training as usual.

The difference is that if you pull up their training suits and take off their football boots, you can see that there is a black vest wrapped around their chest inside their training suits, and there is something else inside their football boots.

As the players train on the training ground, more and more data is collected in the computer and is constantly refreshed. At the same time, with the help of software, the data is classified and differentiated. Some useful data is even permanently loaded into a player's file.

"There are two different perspectives in football right now regarding data and technology."

Standing next to Yang Huan, Marcus du Sautoy, an authoritative data analysis professor from Oxford University, was introducing his data analysis concepts to Yang Huan.

"One is the data-only theory, because they believe that people are easily deceived by their eyes, just like watching a magic trick, you will see with your own eyes that the magician takes out three rabbits from a hat, but the problem is that there can't be three rabbits in the hat at all."

Yang Huan also has a deep understanding of this.

Sometimes your eyes are the most untrustworthy.

"But there is another group that adheres to tradition. They believe that data cannot determine the outcome of a game. For example, when Redknapp coached Southampton, he asked the club's analysts to try to use computers to compare and see who would win the next game, but this is impossible!"

Yang Huan could also understand this.

Ferguson sold Stam because he trusted the data too much and thought Stam was starting to go downhill.

But who would have thought that Stam would shine in Italy.

Should we believe our eyes or should we believe the data? These are two opposing views that are very common in the football world today.

Of course, there is a small centrist group, but it is still very small.

For example, Klinsmann, the former head coach of Bayern Munich, Guardiola of Barcelona, ​​Mourinho, the head coach of Real Madrid, or Wenger of Arsenal.

They all insist on using both eyes and data.

"In my opinion, the football field is a network, and the eleven players are nodes in this network. A successful team is one that keeps the eleven nodes in the network connected to each other smoothly."

“That’s when data can come into play.”

"For example, for the same pass to a teammate, players with different technical characteristics prefer different types of passes, whether they rotate, whether they pass at the point, whether they pass with the left foot or the right foot. All of these can be statistically analyzed to give a probability."

"With the probability, we can consciously strengthen the players' training in this aspect in normal training, and then develop a tacit understanding and habit, so that they can pass different balls to different teammates in the game to ensure the maximum pass success rate!"

At this point, Marcus du Satoy laughed excitedly and enthusiastically.

“That sounds crazy, right?”

"But think about it, if we can target the characteristics of each player and keep this LAN smooth and efficient both on offense and defense, then our offense will be difficult to stop and our defense will become very efficient."

"And efficiency is precisely the core pursuit of modern football tactics!"

At this moment, Marcus du Satoy gave people the feeling that he seemed to have found the true meaning of professional football.

Yang Huan felt that perhaps he was right.

At least, he was successfully fooled.
