Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Maiwo Community started as a college student and harvested young people from all over the country. In the past 10 years, those early people have stepped into the society and even started a family.

They are scattered all over the place, each with their own lives, and they still visit the community from time to time. But everyone also feels that the community is not as lively as before, and users are slowly transferring to Weibo.

There are too many entertainment items, maybe in another 10 years when Maiwo community is mentioned, it will really be a feeling that lives in memory.

Jiangsu, South Jiangsu, Zhangjiagang.

Zhangjiagang used to be very poor, but now it is very rich. The county-level city with a population of more than one million can achieve a GDP of 185 billion this year, which is incredible.

There is an early user of the community stationed here, a former campus angel and the cousin of Jiang Chao, who has been wronged: Zhang Xiaowu.

After graduating, he didn't join 99 like Jiang Chao did. Instead, he went ashore and became a new member of the system in Zhangjiagang. He has been working for several years in the blink of an eye.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Xiaowu got off work and returned to his solitary residence.

Living alone is quite boring, and you don’t even have to do love—it’s like typing on a stand-alone computer, and you don’t even have a chapter to say.

He messed with dinner, went out for a walk, and when he came back, he could only sit in front of the computer for entertainment, revisiting the finals of "The Voice of China".

I have to say that this show has bombarded the Chinese entertainment industry, the quality of the first season has reached the ceiling, the instructors are full of attention, and the members are amazing.

That's all for Jin Zhiwen and Huang Ling. Yao Beina and Deng Ziqi's final championship competition is really fun to sing.

The whole country is exclaiming, where did they find these two monsters? Although it was picked up afterwards, one was a young singer in the system, and the other was a popular newcomer in the Cantonese-speaking area, but it didn't matter, everyone listened to songs.

Viewers are already looking forward to the second season next year.

And the global tour of "The Voice of China" is starting, and it's time to grab a wave while it's hot.

Many people think that this is like Supergirl, signing all the members, but my cousin talked to me, 99 Entertainment fell in love with Yao Beina, and then signed Deng Ziqi's mainland acting contract...

"That evil pen is calling!"

"That evil pen is calling!"

"Hello?"

The phone rang suddenly, and Zhang Xiaowu answered, "What the hell is going on?"

"Are you off work? Let's play a game!" Jiang Chao said.

"ah?"

"I'm just idle, form a team, "League of Legends"!"

"Your sister Ying's alliance is not available!"

He hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiaowu continued to surf the Internet, but he was really bored. He rested his fingers on the keyboard for a few seconds, and still typed the word "League of Legends".

This is a game that was just released in public beta not long ago. He didn't pay much attention to it. After checking the configuration requirements, there was no problem. It was boring, so he downloaded it casually.

After tossing for a long time, I was finally able to play.

Start the game, first there is a fancy opening, and then the novice training, there are three well-known heroes: Galen, the power of Demacia, Ashe, the ice shooter, and Ryze, the wandering mage.

It is still the S1 season. The game has 3V3 and 5V5 ranking modes. At the same time, the rank is set, and the rank points are used to record the player's ranking points.

In November, "League of Legends" officially entered the S2 season.

Now the national server is mostly closed beta players and a small number of novice players. In the impression, many people think that "League of Legends" was not popular at the beginning, but it is not.

Thanks to Tencent's channels, the maximum number of simultaneous online users reached 600,000 in just two months of public testing, which is a very good figure.

Of course, compared with the later "League of Legends", 600,000 people really can't watch it.

"Demacia!"

"grass!"

"Rubbish!"

Zhang Xiaowu is very good. After playing for 5 hours, he didn't like to play. He quit the game and stood up, his neck rattling.

"Oh, I'm getting old!"

He moved around, went to the toilet, and continued to sit in front of the computer when he came back.

After work, his game addiction has been greatly reduced. He usually plays mobile games. Mobile games are not boring, and he can touch two games in his free time. It is relaxing and pass the time.

But today, his gaming addiction was brought out.

I simply opened "Zhu Xian 2" again, and there was a big advertisement box:

"Ten years of companionship, thank you!"

"10 years ago, Mai Wo went online and started this journey of mutual companionship... 99 Group will hold a 10th anniversary celebration at the New Year's Eve party! For details, see..."

"At the same time, there will be a wealth of online activities, and we look forward to your participation!"

""Zhu Xian 2", ten years of youth, lucky to be with you!"

"Log in and get [Growth Gift Package] [Praying Lantern] [Blessing Coupon] Balabala..."

"Register Weichat, enter the Weichat number and you will get [Special Clothes · Beauty and White Hair], and randomly give 10-100M coins!"

"Damn it, you're crazy!"

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the densely packed content of the activities, all of which were all kinds of benefits, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. It’s nothing else, the most important thing to send when registering for Weichat is M coins, which are equivalent to RMB in the 99 ecosystem!

He couldn't help but received a set of [Beautiful Beauty and White Hair], and then drew 20M coins.

Playing around, it was past 12 o'clock without knowing it, Zhang Xiaowu was dying, washed up and fell on the bed, obviously sleepy, but still wanted to fiddle with his phone for a while.

Open Angry Birds.

The same ad box: "Ten years of companionship, Barabara..."

The same event: "Sign up for Weichat, receive limited skins..."

"Crazy crazy!"

"As for what?"

Zhang Xiaowu didn't understand, so he opened the community app, and found that some old friends who hadn't been online for a long time were there in the middle of the night, and they were chatting enthusiastically.

"Hahaha!"

"Take a look, what is this?"

"[The 10th Anniversary Celebration of 1999·Gathering of Old Friends] Invitation letter! This time it's at the National Center for the Performing Arts. It's not in vain for me to help the community run offline under the sun."

"Does every campus angel have one?"

"Those who have been in office for 3 years or more can go to the Grand Theater, and those who have been in office for less than 3 years have other arrangements. After all, there are too many people and the Grand Theater can't fit in."

A buddy posted pictures triumphantly, and then posted the activity process.

Including transportation fees, board and lodging standards, games, parties, gifts, etc., the richness makes people jealous.

Zhang Xiaowu envied and hated, thinking to himself, alas, there should be a quota, maybe the invitation letter is already on the way, um, on the way.

…………

"League of Legends" is in a public beta in a not-so-hot state.

99’s channel is no less than Tencent’s. It spends a lot of effort on publicity and promotion, but the game is fun as long as it is fun, and it is not fun if it is not fun. It requires user accumulation.

In contrast, the battle between 99 and Tencent is well known on the Internet.

"Do you have "QQ Speed"? Who is that, you can get a prop on WeChat!"

""Cross Fire" gave away a gun! You can get it by WeChat!"

""DNF" is assembled, wechat to send equipment!"

""Three Kingdoms" is here!"

"Fuck, I don't have a smartphone!"

"Recently, a fight took place in xx. One side was the local pusher of "League of Legends" and the other was the local pusher of "QQ Xianxia Biography"... A total of 12 participants..."

As we all know, when companies seize the market and fight price wars, this is the only opportunity for users to gain cash. For example, Meituan and Ele.me are fighting each other, and the subsidy is so cheap that ordering takeaway is really cheap.

But when the pattern is set and a monopoly is formed, people start cutting leeks.

The same is true for the 9Q war. In order to snatch users, both sides use the ecological circle to promote wildly.

Colleagues are also watching in dismay.

Last year's 3Q, this year's 9Q, what a hammer? Can you please stop.

As a result, not only did it not stop, but the scale was getting bigger and bigger. The two sides have established a relationship between Maimai/QQ, Maiwo Weibo/Tencent Weibo, Maiwo Mall/Paipai.com, 99 Games/Tencent Games, Maili Video/Tencent Video, and On the core Weichat/WeChat, an all-out war has launched.

And when everyone took a look, it seemed that it was the first time they had such a clear glimpse: the portraits of the two real girls!

(no more...)
