Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Blink of an eye to May 9, the eve of the conference.

At the Capital Airport, Liu Wei, Cai Haoyu, and Luo Yuhao, three homeboys, dressed in orange outfits—plaid shirts, jeans, and legendary equipment—a big diagonal bag, happily got off the plane.

"This! Here!"

A middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses who looked somewhat similar to Zhou Hongyi waved, and the three of them immediately rolled over and greeted in unison: "Mr. Song!"

It was Song Tao, the boss of Skye Network.

Song Tao is also very interesting. He graduated from an engineering college, worked in Eastern Communications in the early days, and founded Skye Network in Hangzhou in 2005. The big boss likes to ride a scooter to and from get off work, and his lunch is ramen.

When the company went public, they said they would treat the employees to a good meal, but in the end they ate a large plate of chicken...

In China's Internet history of more than 20 years, most of the people who have flashes of inspiration, such as Guo Jiangzhiqing, have been forgotten by the public, and occasionally a few are remembered, but it is not their own ability, most likely because of some anecdotes .

Just like Song Tao, when the history was written, no one may know what happened to Skye Network, only that he invested in MiHoYo.

"Get in the car! Get in the car!"

No matter how bad Skye's network is, it's still a listed company. It still has a car. Song Tao drove it himself and said, "Are you ready for the game presentation?"

"done!"

"Well, the 11th is our venue, and I will go up to speak at that time. The theme is [light games], and there will be a link for you to show."

"Is there a rehearsal?" Liu Wei asked.

"Yes... Hey, let's go directly to see the venue, and then go to the hotel, how about?"

The three naturally agreed.

Ever since, the car drove to the National Convention Center near the Bird's Nest and Water Cube.

Outside the center, a red carpet has been laid, and there is another large area as an exhibition area. Song Tao introduced: "During the meeting, you go in and ask for tickets, and the price is not low. These exhibition areas outside are for poor developers. Rent a booth.

Look over there, there are real estate and clothing sellers, all the fuck come here to join in the fun. "

"Why?" Liu Wei asked.

"It's hot, the conference is very hot...follow me, I'll take you in!"

At the door, Song Tao showed his guest card and led the three of them in for a stroll.

"This is the main venue. There will be a [peak dialogue] tomorrow morning. 99 vs. Tencent, Yao Yuan vs. Ma Huateng. I've already bought the tickets!"

Song Tao looked at the envious expressions of the three, and hurriedly said: "It depends on you, you have to buy tickets yourself, I have a budget!"

With that said, he came to each branch venue again.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I will have an exchange event with some bigwigs. The morning after tomorrow, I will also be in this hall, which is the developer day of our Skye network. Go in and have a look."

Entering the hall, the interior is still being decorated.

The three nerds are very excited, but also very restrained. For them, this is a big scene.

Cai Haoyu secretly asked: "Hey, have you written the speech yet?"

"wrote!"

"How is it written?"

"Don't worry, it perfectly embodies our original intention and belief in starting a business. It is very contagious and will definitely resonate with everyone."

Liu Wei is very confident.

Cai Haoyu also dared to believe it.

After going around in a circle, Song Tao took them to eat ramen, and then went to the hotel.

The three rarely come to the capital, looking forward to a luxurious five-star hotel, but they can tell from eating ramen noodles that it is impossible-in the end, they stay in an ordinary express hotel, which often offers hourly rooms. .

…………

Not long after they left, several groups of people came to the conference center.

These people did not enter the venue, but lingered around the exhibition area outside. There were as many as seven or eight people in each group, and as few as two or three people. Their faces were mixed with excitement and anxiety, and their hands were constantly busy. , Leaflets, backboards, pictorials, crackling and pasting on the booth, or testing the computer and network signal...

Obviously, they are the poor developers that Song Tao mentioned.

"Angkor, this table is not long enough, let's make the pictorial bigger!"

"Just show the character's head!"

"The backboard is placed vertically, vertically, yes!"

The speaker was a fat young man with a Chongqing accent.

His name is Wu Zifei, from Chongqing. He has worked in an American game company for many years. He returned to China to start a business in 2010. With the help of the YZ district government, he obtained an investment of 3 million yuan and established a company called Pasia.

The game currently being developed is called "Planet Explorer", which is in European and American style, and is naturally aimed at European and American players.

But there was not enough money, so I had no choice but to go to Beijing to try my luck.

In order to save money, he only brought one person with him, and kept nagging: "Angkor, this is the Mobile Internet Conference, and what we are doing is a client game, can it work?"

"It should work!"

"What do you mean should be? I don't think it's reliable. People won't even look at us."

"Others may not read it, but someone will definitely watch it!"

"Who is it?"

"Commander Yao!"

Wu Zifei held the official brochure, pointed to the process above, and said, "Look at the content announced on the 99 Developer Day. There are not only mobile games, but also client games. All developers are welcome to discuss cooperation."

"Do you believe this? Every platform says that all developers are welcome, but the result is just a formality."

"Um……"

Wu Zifei thought for a while and explained: "Before I went to the United States, I had been online for 8 years in China, and I was among the first batch of netizens. I registered in the community in 2002. From then until now, Commander Yao never broke his promise! "

Whoa!

The assistant was taken aback.

At this moment, Yao Yuan's 10-year-long aura of character is possessed by the soul, or in other words, this kind of character has been playing an invisible role all the way from him.

In the past ten years, many independent game studios have been born in China, some of which are mobile games, some of which are client games, brilliant ones such as Mihayou, which started from a small broken company and have been flying high all the way.

Others are not very well-known, but have achieved certain results, meeting the needs of different groups with their rich themes and painting styles.

Wu Zifei's Pasiya is one of them.

After the completion of "Planet Explorer", it sold more than 330,000 sets on Steam, and the final revenue exceeded 30 million.

The second one is called "My Time at Portia", which is still European and American style. It has sold 1.5 million sets worldwide, which is great.

Wu Zifei was sure that Yao Yuan would find him, because he was targeting European and American players, and Commander Yao was going to sea!

...

It's right next door to Wu Zifei's booth.

There is also a small gang.

The leader, with a wicked face and a wretched appearance, was also directing the arrangement.

His name is Bao Weiwei, the founder of Coconut Island Games. He established the company in 2009 and has made some achievements. The representative works of later generations include "Extraordinary Force Hospital", "Chinese Parents", and the most famous "Hundred Scenes of Jiangnan".

It is the "Hundred Scenes of the South of the Yangtze River" that let Yue Fei take the lead!

(No more... there will be more updates tomorrow!)
