Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

When Wang Zheng decided to develop the "Farm" game, he felt that the word "stealing vegetables" was inappropriate.

Therefore, it was changed to help farmers in the domestic version.

My friend, you see how meaningful it is that I take the initiative to help.

Well, if you gain 20 and take away two, you will have the joy of harvesting.

But for foreign versions, we don’t have to worry about that much.

We're talking about freedom here, maybe you won't be happy if I don't let you steal it.

Wang Zheng set up a multiple-choice question in a wicked way.

Are you going to steal or help?

You can get 4 by stealing once, and you can only get 2 by helping farmers.

This part of the data is worth studying.

The domestic version of "Ding Ding Farm" will be embedded in the secondary page of Ding Ding Leisure.

Users can directly launch the game window by clicking the farm function button, and a boss button function has also been specially designed.

WeChat naturally operates in the same way.

But the different part is that the domestic version can now support its own third-party payment platform, which is the acquired and adjusted Cloud QuickPass.

Midland’s WeChat can only support PayPal.

Fertilizer in China costs 1 yuan per bag, but here at Midland it costs 0.49 US dollars per bag.

Now that the game is developed, of course it needs to be reviewed first.

The American League's game review mechanism is still very strict. As a casual game, it naturally hopes to get an E grade, which means it is suitable for everyone.

Wang Zheng is quite worried that because of the concept of "stealing food", he will be classified as T-level, which means he is above 13 years old.

After all, national conditions are different, and from the government's perspective, children's psychological endurance varies greatly.

Facts have proved that Wang Zheng was overthinking.

In less than three days, the game was successfully rated E and I logged into WeChat the next day.

After an automatic update and online promotion, there were 80,000+ users on the first day.

The next day it was even more outrageous, quickly rising to 300,000+.

As we all know, the United States is a large agricultural country.

The emergence of farms gives every player the experience of a farmer.

Growing plants, stealing, or helping friends harvest vegetables has become a very hot topic.

In late April, Wang Zheng was sitting in Cheryl's office, drinking tea comfortably.

Cheryl held the report she just got in disbelief and covered her mouth in surprise: "Justin, do you know what the number of WeChat users is now?"

Wang Zheng shrugged: "3 million, or 3.5 million."

"No, no, no, yesterday we added 800,000 users in one day! Now it's 4.2 million!" Cheryl was going crazy: "No one doesn't like the farm game, Justin. Yesterday the farm's revenue was 300,000 US dollars

!”

Well, a bag of fertilizer costs $0.49, a bag of super costs $2.9, and watchdogs cost $29 each.

The number of users skyrocketed to 4 million in 10 days, and the payment ratio was astonishingly high.

Wouldn’t you be crazy if this horse-riding dog comes out with a limited edition dog for $99?

Of course, it's not good to catch all the water, so take your time.

Wang Zheng has not forgotten that the main purpose of promoting this game is to promote WeChat.

"Shirley, WeChat should start focusing on the release of casual games. We should be more open and allow casual game developers to join our platform, collect a small share of the revenue, and provide users with more and more fun games."

Cheryl nodded in agreement: "Justin, you are right. The release of games can further consolidate our market position. But we should not give up our research and development capabilities."

She has not forgotten that this game is an agent, and she has to pay an agency fee of nearly 30% of the profit every month.

Wang Zheng doesn't mind this too much. After all, it's a matter of left hand and right hand. This share will not be sent directly back to the country for the time being, but will be kept in the American League and used to expand business scale.

"How is the female college beauty pageant going?"

"The top ten have already appeared, and they are competing for the final championship. There is only one week left, and the event is about to end."

Cheryl smiled and said: "Justin, you should really go see those young and beautiful girls more instead of sitting in front of the computer all day."

Wang Zheng shrugged: "Maybe we can consider holding a grand award ceremony? This is the most beautiful female college student in the United States."

Cheryl teased: "The operations department is already making plans. We plan to hold a party on the Heat Wave Beach in California. You can be the winner's award guest, and maybe you can ask her to have dinner with her."

"good idea!"

During this period of time, he was almost blown away by the precise recommendation algorithm. If he hadn't been holding in his breath, he would have wanted to smash the keyboard and go on a trip.

However, the Meta community is currently in a period of user growth explosion, and this algorithm is urgently needed to improve user retention rate.

As BOSS, which came up with image compression algorithm and independently created the A2V image format, it has been unable to get this intelligent recommendation algorithm, which is simply disgraceful.

The reason is that the efficiency of data collection is too low.

The IE browser is extremely unfriendly, and the current Firefox is honestly not that great either.

A lot of data set on web pages cannot be returned through the browser, forming big data.

There are too few samples compared by the algorithm, which naturally leads to the current situation.

It has some effect, but only a little.

Compared with the future Douyin and Toutiao, let alone intelligence, it is almost the same as retarded.

A little closer to becoming a vegetative state.

He does have a browser, but the win version of OPEN Browser cannot be directly taken out, and the company has been established for many years.

The modified version of Hongmeng cannot be used on win systems.

I have never encountered this problem before, and Wang Zheng has never tried to develop this browser into a win version. He still wants to keep it as Hongmeng's exclusive browser.

Now it seems that it is impossible not to take it out.

In the evening, I logged into the domestic server and browsed twice the messages sent by Ye Zi. Most of them were about the daily life of college students. I was very happy to read them.

Then a task was assigned to the domestic R&D center to develop a win version based on the Hongmeng version of the browser.

Intellectual property rights must still remain within the country.

Of course, now that we have a browser, it would be a big loss if we didn’t do search.

But search engines, especially web search engines, can’t just be developed.

Guge and Qiandu have been deeply involved in this field for several years, and all kinds of patents have been registered. The moat is extremely deep, and it is basically impossible to cross over from these two companies.

For a rogue person like Zhou Hongyi, 360 search has never been successful.

There is also Wang Xiaochuan, whose technical strength is too strong, but Sogou has been working on it for so many years, but in the end it never took off.

Even Microsoft's Bing has not broken the bottom line of Qiandu's 85% market share in China.

The focus of this thing is the server side.

Google deploys tens of thousands of servers around the world. These servers control a large number of web crawler programs. Only after aggregation and processing can users get accurate search results.

This is typical artificial intelligence, deep learning.

No wonder the CEO of Google has been saying that we are not doing search, but artificial intelligence.

The reason why they are strong is because they have set such a goal from the beginning.

What better place to train artificial intelligence than a search service?

Thinking about the Alpha Dog of the future, you can feel relieved.

But now it is 2006. When it comes to which company is stronger in artificial intelligence, my classmate Xiao Ai is not convinced.

Let me tell you, none of you here can beat me!
