Rebirth of the Wild Age

Industry harms the country, and real estate speculation rejuvenates the country.

Whether it is Song Weiyang buying a house in Shenghai, or Song Shumin building a house in Rongcheng, both father and son are contributing to China's GDP growth.

Freshly released statistics show that last year (2000) investment in real estate development accounted for 20.2% of China's total investment in fixed assets. In the past two years, China's economy has been able to maintain rapid growth. The first is real estate, and the second is large-scale infrastructure (accounting for 13.4%).

Real estate and infrastructure construction have stimulated huge domestic demand, while external demand is falling crazily.

You may not have imagined that the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States actually led to a negative growth trend in China's net exports, and it has been a substantial negative growth for two consecutive years. The research results of economists are: for every 1 percentage point decline in the US economy, the world economy will drop by 0.4 percentage points, and China's exports will drop by 10 percentage points!

Sheng Hai.

Lin Zhuoyun just "visited" her wedding room, and she is very satisfied with the house. Although the indoor area is only 230 square meters, the height of the living room is a full 6 meters, which is equal to the space on the second floor above the living room without counting the area, and several balconies are also presented as gifts. There is also a roof of more than 80 square meters on the top floor, which is also not counted. Lin Zhuoyun plans to build a "sky garden".

"This house is really nice." Lin Zhuoyun stood in front of the real estate model in the sales department and said with joy.

There is no way, Song Weiyang bought an off-plan house, and it will not be delivered until next summer at the earliest.

The salesman immediately said: "Boss Song, Mrs. Song, you two really bought it. Boss Song called to book a room before the Spring Festival, and sent someone to pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan. Just after the Spring Festival, the house price skyrocketed. You guys This apartment type and location have now risen to more than 6,300, and the value has appreciated by more than 70,000 in less than a month."

"An increase of more than 70,000?" Lin Zhuoyun was extremely surprised, and automatically ignored the title "Mrs. Song".

The salesman smiled and said, "Yes, so you have bought it."

In 2001, housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou really exploded. Taking Shenghai as an example, the price of villa-type housing rose by 22% a year, and the high-end apartment Song Weiyang bought also increased by 16.7%. And it will continue to rise——In 2002, the house price in Shenghai rose steadily in the first 11 months, but it skyrocketed by 20% within one month at the end of the year, 26% at the end of the next year, and 30% at the end of the next year .

Calculated based on this data, plus the increase in other months of the year, Song Weiyang's unit price of 5,980 yuan will rise to more than 16,000 yuan in early 2005, and he can make a net profit of 2 million yuan after selling it!

Then there was a sharp drop. In the summer of 2005, Shenghai’s housing prices suddenly plunged by about 15%, and high-end real estate properties fell by more than 35%. It took nearly two years of silence before finally recovering.

So, real estate speculators have to find the right time to start.

On the other hand, Shencheng is still relatively stable, because the speculation has already skyrocketed in the 1990s, and the housing prices are still floating in the air at this time and have not landed.

After signing the house purchase contract and leaving, the sales department immediately exploded, and both the sales staff and the house buyers were talking about it.

"That was Song Weiyang just now?"

"I think it's him. It looks like a picture in a magazine."

"Who is that girl?"

"His girlfriend."

"It may also be an underground lover."

"Hey, who is that? It's the house you just sold. Whose name is written on the real estate certificate?"

The salesman kept smiling: "Sorry, we can't disclose the privacy of our customers."

This was a very professional statement, but when he returned to the financial office, he began to gossip: "Song Weiyang is really married, and the house purchase contract states the relationship between husband and wife!"

The female employee who was in charge of collecting the money just now said in an envious tone: "Oh, this is fate. If that woman climbs a high branch, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life."

Another female employee sneered sourly: "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, maybe they will get divorced one day, and there are more rich people looking for mistresses to take care of their lovers."

"Divorce also requires the division of property. Song Weiyang casually leaked some assets between his fingers, at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions of assets."

"It's true, even if you get a divorce, it's not a loss."

"Song Weiyang is obviously still on the defensive. He didn't pay the full price for the house. He is so rich and still applies for a mortgage."

"The coal bosses in Jin Province are still generous. They give cash directly when they buy villas. Last time, a rich man gave a sack of money directly."

"..."

In the old house.

Doudou, who was about to take the high school entrance examination, was so angry that he smashed his mouse and keyboard crazily: "Ah, why is there another cheat? This person automatically steals monsters, it's too disgusting. Uncle, get someone to block his account!"

Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun had just returned from the sales department and bought some food on the way.

Lin Zhuoyun was busy in the kitchen, Song Weiyang walked into the study with a smile, leaned on Doudou's back and said, "What kind of cheating is it?"

Doudou pointed to the computer screen: "Look. This man ran around without using his skills. Monsters chased him wherever he ran. I hit those monsters with skills without hatred. The nearby wild monsters He took it all away."

Song Weiyang observed for a while, nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's not a particularly perverted cheat."

"Very perverted!" Doudou said angrily.

Song Weiyang patted her on the head: "What game are you playing? The high school entrance exam is only a few months away. Turn off the computer and do your homework!"

"Just go." Doudou pouted and left.

Song Weiyang called Jinshan to inquire about the situation, and Xishanju Studio was already dealing with it. Those players have obviously healed their scars and forgot about the pain. It has only been two months since the official stopped large-scale account bans, and new types of monster-inducing cheats have begun to flood again.

In fact, the self-developed games of Kingsoft are pretty good. The Korean kimchi game is full of loopholes, and various cheats can be programmed easily. "Dragon Race", which will be launched in half a year, does not need to buy extra plug-ins for that game, and can directly use "Jinshan Ranger" to modify the data.

Use a stand-alone game modifier to modify online game data, just ask if you are afraid!

In fact, Song Weiyang is very happy to see the emergence of various cheats, all of which are training the online game technical team. After experiencing the cheating incidents in the past year, Jinshan is no longer afraid of gear shifting. It can block shifting cheating purely by technical means, throwing other domestic game companies out of eight blocks.

Today, Jinshan's "Warrior of Gods and Demons" is still the most popular online, "Stone Age" ranks second, "Three Kingdoms" ranks third, and "King of Kings" has dropped to fourth.

"Stone Age" is the funniest. This is a Japanese turn-based online game. Because it does not require high network speed, it quickly became popular soon after it went online. The Japanese Benzene Company is very authentic and sold all the source code to the agent Huayi, but Huayi Company went crazy, not only did not crack down on cheaters, but instead launched various props to cater to cheaters, even selling point cards and war pets at the same time.

Renminbi players are so excited to spend money, and in the end, the game experience of ordinary players is extremely poor. This company just wants to make a quick buck and run away.

As for why "War of Gods and Demons" has been able to maintain its dominance, Kingsoft has carefully analyzed it. The content of the game is still second, the most important thing is to actively cooperate with Internet cafes, so that Internet cafes in many cities have their own game.

As for other online games, you can't find them in the computers of many Internet cafes, and the speed of downloading games can make people anxious to death. Players have to bring CDs with them to play games in Internet cafes, and most Internet cafe computers do not have CD drives-game CDs can be bought in software stores.

These are the operating experiences of online games, and now some game companies have followed suit.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

Lin Zhuoyun shouted in the kitchen: "Honey, open the door, I can't get out here."

Before Song Weiyang left, Hong Weiguo had already gone. He observed through the cat's eyes for a while, and found that it was a woman who knocked on the door before opening it, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The woman said confusedly: "Excuse me, is this Lin Zhuoyun's house? I'm her friend."

"Please come in!" Hong Weiguo stepped aside.

When Song Weiyang came to the living room, the woman greeted immediately when she saw her: "Hi, chairman!"

"You are that Zhang..." Song Weiyang couldn't remember.

The woman smiled and said, "Zhang Lin."

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "That's right, that's Zhang Lin. When did you return to China?"

Zhang Lin was Lin Zhuoyun's roommate when she was a teacher, and she borrowed money from Song Weiyang to study in Germany. She took out a bulging envelope and said, "Chairman, this is the money I borrowed at the beginning, and the interest has also been included."

Song Weiyang accepted it casually, and said with a smile, "You keep calling me the chairman, so you still work in Xifeng?"

Zhang Lindao: "I am the third employee in the German office of Xifeng Company, and the ninth employee in the European branch of Xifeng. I have graduated from a master's degree and served as the vice president of the marketing department of the European branch of Xifeng. In the United States, he serves as the marketing director of Xifeng North America Branch."

"It really is fate." Song Weiyang was a little surprised.

Zhang Lin was a money-worshiping woman who worshiped foreigners at the beginning. In order to be able to study abroad, she easily slept with Chinese Americans. But she has a brain, Song Weiyang borrowed money to help out for Lin Zhuoyun's sake, but he didn't expect to add an excellent employee to his company.

Song Weiyang still knows about the situation of Xifeng North America Branch, but it has not been able to open up the scene for several years, and the sales of canned food have not been able to increase.

Zhang Lin's transfer to the North American branch as the marketing director is definitely an appointment at a critical moment. Apparently, Xifeng's headquarters recognizes her ability very much.

"Zhang Lin is here," Lin Zhuoyun came out with a big bowl of soup and said with a smile, "Sit down, just in time for dinner."

Zhang Lin said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I came here to grab a meal. I just flew over from Xifeng's headquarters in the morning."

Zhang Lin hurried to help, and Doudou was also called out to set the dishes, and soon several people sat at a table.

Lin Zhuoyun asked: "It's been a long time since I emailed, how are you doing abroad?"

Zhang Lin said: "It's just like that. I'm busy working all day. Before I went abroad, I thought everything was good in the West. It took me a few years to realize the reality. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid before. The West is not a paradise, except for the economy. More developed than China, democracy and freedom are all nonsense.”

Song Weiyang asked, "Are you confident in going to America this time?"

Zhang Lin said: "Confidence doesn't come out of thin air. I only read some information about the North American market at the headquarters, and I have to learn more about the situation after I go there. This time, the North American branch has undergone a major change, from the general manager to the department head. Well, Mr. Yang has already lost his temper, and he must increase the sales of canned food in North America."

The North American side belongs to the sales branch, and there are only a few departments in total. Hearing what Zhang Lin said, it means that more than half of the managers have changed.

Song Weiyang said: "There must be some general ideas, right?"

Zhang Lindao: "The general manager who was transferred to North America this time happened to be my boss in Europe. I discussed with him that the proportion of middle-level employees should be increased. The reason why the business of the North American branch cannot be promoted is because of the previous The general manager likes to use Chinese people and likes to recruit from overseas students. This is wrong, we are just a sales branch, and the local people know the actual situation better than us. Just like multinational companies developing in China, they must also recruit a large number of Chinese people to manage Otherwise, all kinds of unacceptable jokes will be made."

"This idea is very correct," Song Weiyang expressed his appreciation and raised his glass, "I wish you all the best."

Zhang Lin picked up the drink and said, "Thank you, Chairman, for your encouragement."

Zhang Lin was on the plane to the United States in the afternoon, chatted for a while after dinner and left.

Lin Zhuoyun was a little emotional, and leaned into Song Weiyang's arms and said: "When I was in Fudan University, Zhang Lin was squeezed out by me as a lecturer. I haven't seen her for a few years. Now she has become a strong woman in the workplace and is in charge of Xifeng's entire North American market. , I am the only one who is still standing still. Weiyang, do you think I am not enterprising and have already been abolished?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "You're not bad now, the president and editor-in-chief of the magazine under the banyan tree."

"My magazine office is just playing around." Lin Zhuoyun said.

"Hey, stop thinking about it, you've always been excellent." Song Weiyang hugged her and kissed her to comfort her.

Lin Zhuoyun is actually a little inferior, because Song Weiyang has developed too fast, no matter in terms of economic ability or social status, she has reached the point where she can only look up to. In this way, as Song Weiyang's legal wife, the pressure on her can be imagined, and she is even more afraid that something will happen between the two of them one day.

Song Weiyang changed the subject and said, "How about we go on a wedding trip?"

Lin Zhuoyun said: "I still need to manage the magazine."

Song Weiyang said: "The daily affairs of the magazine can be handed over to other people, and you can also edit manuscripts abroad."

Lin Zhuoyun asked: "What about Doudou?"

Song Weiyang thought for a while and said, "Doudou has a good friend. She often comes to our house to play with the little girl surnamed Dou. You can let Doudou live in Professor Dou's house temporarily. Maybe Professor Dou will urge her to study. , It’s much better than playing games every day at our house.”

"Then...as you said?" Lin Zhuoyun actually wanted to go on honeymoon, "Then where do you want to go?"

Song Weiyang said: "Go to South Korea first, and then go to Japan."

The purpose of going to South Korea was to buy "Legend", otherwise Chen Tianqiao would have to do it in a few months. Even if he bought it and left it unoperated, he couldn't leave this game to his competitors.

In fact, Song Weiyang had his own flirtatious ideas.

He plans to buy the agency rights and source code of "Legend", and then according to the source code, let Kingsoft copy a brand new game. You can understand it as "Legend World", which is barely considered a self-developed game.

Why bother?

It's not because I want to eat alone, but because the Korean company is too bad.

What happened in Shanda back then was so big that someone like Song Weiyang who didn't play games knew it well. The South Korean company saw that "Legend" became popular in China, and suddenly raised the price on the ground. This can be tolerated, but the Korean side deliberately leaked the source code, resulting in an updated version of "Legend", and the private server came out before the official server.

As a result, Chen Tianqiao was furious, and developed "Legend World" by himself according to the model of "Legend".

The South Korean company also got angry and sued Shanda for copyright infringement and plagiarism. However, China has its own special national conditions, and Shanda actually won the lawsuit for this obvious infringement. Since then, China's online games have embarked on a road of no return, and various copycats have imitated or even plagiarized, just because there is Shanda's glorious example in "Legendary World".

Song Weiyang just wanted to spend more money and directly bought the source code of "Legend". After the game was put into operation, he would not be stuck. Otherwise, even bugs in the game would have to wait for the Korean side to solve them.
