Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

It has to be said that although Lu Pengyou is a very nervous, familiar person with little emotional intelligence, in terms of his personal execution ability, he is indeed impeccable.

Basically, no matter what I think of, I won’t delay it and I’ll do it immediately if I can do it.

Xu Xing just gave him a small suggestion last night. When the instructor came to select candidates for the national flag team the next day, Lu Pengyou immediately volunteered, hoping to join it.

There is a saying that Lu Pengyou is 1.88 meters tall and strong. As long as he can walk well, it would be quite suitable for him to join the national flag team.

So he was successfully picked up by the instructor of the national flag team and began a miserable training life.

"Hiss... I was really tricked by you, Lao Xu."

Another day passed, Lu Pengyou was lying on the bed early in the morning, feeling that all the muscles in his body were moaning and resisting, and he grinned at the soreness.

Seeing him like this, Xu Xing could only snicker, but he still encouraged him: "You will get something if you put in the effort. Thinking about the way you passed by all the girls in the school carrying the national flag, will you suddenly be full of motivation?

"

"Fuck!" When he said this, Lu Pengyou immediately sat up from the bed, rolled over and got out of the bed, full of energy, "Damn it!"

Xu Xing looked at his energetic roommate and couldn't help showing an expression of relief on his face.

Lu Pengyou, who doesn't usually get angry, is actually quite cute.

…

The days of military training passed like this day by day.

Since Xu Niannian came to school, the male compatriots in Class 8 have gained an extra comfort from their daily training.

But sometimes it is also a kind of torture.

After all, although there would occasionally be seniors next to the playground who would stop to admire their heroic appearance for a while, most of them would just talk and laugh, and leave after a while.

But Xu is different every year.

This senior sister is a bit inhumane. On the first day she came, she just pretended to be her brother Xu Xing's girlfriend, but the next day she bought a cup of ice-cold milk tea and sat on the lawn nearby to watch them train.

On the third day, they went too far. They even brought a small electric fan with them and sat in front of them to enjoy the wind. Don't be too irritated.

As a result, on the fourth day, the heavyweight came.

I saw Xu Niannian holding half of a large watermelon cut into his arms. After sitting down on the lawn, he held the watermelon in his hands and took out a spoon to eat it.

When the male students in Class 8 saw it, all of them were drooling.

Finally, when the instructor announced a short break, Xu Xing from the team walked up to Xu Niannian unceremoniously, grabbed the spoon from her hand, and dug a big piece for himself.

"Hey! Don't dig the middle part!" Xu Niannian became anxious when he saw his actions, "I'll save the last thing I want to eat there!"

"Why do I care so much about you?" Xu Xing rolled his eyes at her, scooped out a big spoonful of the red flesh in the center, stuffed it into his mouth and it was immediately refreshing. It was so good to eat watermelon under the bright sun.

Comfortable.

"Senior Xu, you are so unkind." The envious male classmate next to him complained.

"Why are you so anxious?" Xu Niannian rolled his eyes and opened the plastic bag he brought next to him. Inside were several boxes of plastic boxes, with the other half of the watermelon cut into them, and a lot of toothpicks thoughtfully prepared.

, "Well, this is for you, share it among yourself."

"Wow! Long live Senior Sister Xu!"

The male compatriots in Class 8 immediately cheered and gathered around to grab the watermelon to eat.

Xu Niannian stood up and stood aside, looking at them with a smile, and did not forget to say: "After eating watermelon, you must not bully my brother in the future, or I will curse you to have diarrhea every time you eat watermelon."

"Can I still be bullied?" Xu Xing, who was scooping up half a watermelon next to her, said speechlessly, "Do you think I'm still a three-year-old child?"

"Sister, I'm helping you build a good relationship with your classmates, okay." Xu Niannian patted Xu Xing's shoulder affectionately and asked, "Where's the jealousy? I also left a box for the girls in your class.

.”

"Here, over there." Xu Xing pursed his lips, gesturing towards the square of girls diagonally opposite, and then said, "Let me get it for you."

"No, you can eat first." Xu Niannian held his shoulders, took a box of watermelon and sent it to the girl.

Seeing the handover between his two employees in the distance, Xu Xing felt inexplicably emotional. He ate the watermelon in his mouth, and the juice flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

It's really refreshing and refreshing.

…

August 20, noon.

After Xu Xing finished Xu Niannian's lunch, he returned to the dormitory, opened Lu Pengyou's Pineapple computer, and read today's news.

But when he opened his mailbox, he found that there were two more emails in it. After seeing the sender's address, Xu Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

[Hello, the game you submitted for review - Fruit Assassin - has been reviewed. There are no abnormalities in the game process and game content, and it has been approved for release in the US area of ​​the App Store. 】

[Launch time: 12:00 noon on August 20, 2012 (based on local time in the United States)]

After seeing this email, Xu Xing's first reaction was to take out his Pineapple phone.

He has registered the Pineapple ID in the US area in advance and purchased gift cards specifically for consumption. He can log onto the US area to purchase games at any time and experience the new games on the actual machine.

But when he logged in and checked the game name, he discovered that the game was not on the shelves yet.

After carefully looking at the content of the email, Xu Xing finally reacted.

At noon, it was past twelve o'clock on their side, but it was still early morning on the American side, and it was still early before twelve o'clock at noon.

Xu Xing couldn't help but smacked his lips, and suddenly felt that the next dozen hours would be a bit difficult.

However, there was another email left, so Xu Xing put aside the issue of the game being released for the time being and clicked on the second email.

[Hello, the game you submitted to us has met the App Store's game recommendation requirements after three rounds of trial testing by internal members. After discussion, your game "Fruit Assassin" will be released on August 25, 2012 at 00

:00 is recommended by the "Latest Games" column for one week.】

Seeing this second email, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the fatigue caused by military training was instantly wiped away from his body.

My wallet was finally saved.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing chuckled and simply took screenshots of the two emails and forwarded them to the QQ group.

[Management of Qunxing Company]

[Chairman and CEO Xu Xing]: Our first game is about to be released, and you can try it out then (screenshot)

[Financial Director Yao Yuanyuan]: It’s finally out? I’ve been waiting for almost a week! Why is Pineapple Company’s efficiency so low?

[Logistics Supervisor Li Zhibin]: Where is it on the shelves? I even logged into the US area and couldn’t find it.

[Financial Director Yao Yuanyuan]: Are you stupid? Read the content of the email carefully. The local time in the United States shall prevail. It is early morning here and it is only 12 noon there.

[Logistics Supervisor Li Zhibin]: Oh, oh, no wonder, then we have to wait until the early morning? It’s so troublesome.

The two senior managers in the group were chatting, and after Xu Xing finished sending the message, he sent separate messages to Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian respectively.

Yan Chijuan, because she uses a PHS and doesn't have a computer around her, has not been on QQ for a while, so she can only send her a text message to notify her.

On Xu Niannian's side, because Xu Xing was afraid of being discovered by his elder sister, he didn't dare to directly drag her into the group, so he still used the trumpet [Jun Jiu'er] to send messages to Xu Niannian.

Soon, the two women sent replies.

[Jiangjie]: Congratulations, boss! After the game is released, can you borrow your mobile phone? I want to play it too.

[Dear Boss]: Okay, tell me when the time comes.

…

[Nian Nian]: Congratulations, sister~ I will also support the game after it is released~ I wish our game a great sale!

[Jun Jiuer]: Well, you’ve worked hard too. During this period, you still need to work harder on the skins and backgrounds of the national regions.

[Nian Nian]: It’s okay, I’ll take care of it!

After chatting with the two dear employees, Xu Xing returned to his large QQ.

Above, Yao Yuanyuan and Li Zhibin were having a lively chat in the group, passionately discussing the possible sales of Fruit Assassin after it is put on the shelves.

Privately, both of them also came to see Xu Xing.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Hey, big boss, have you found the office location you told me about before?

[Yuanchengqiu]: I have finished handing over the Internet cafe. I have been very bored recently. There is nothing going on in the studio.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Isn’t something going to happen soon? Will the accounting bills related to the international country be done?

[Yuanchengqiu]: I’m afraid you’re not insulting me with this question...

[Yuanchengqiu]: If you know what my mother used to do, can you still ask this question?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Your mother is your mother, and it’s not Aunt Pei who is helping me work now.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Bah! You can just daydream and ask my mother to give you a job. You can have fun while I work for you.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Don’t change the subject. Have you found the office location? A decent entrepreneur doesn’t have the power to take action.

[Yicao Yanyu]: The document has been sent to you, please take a look at it first.

[Yicao Yanyu]: I visited about six or seven places in total before and selected three entrepreneurial parks. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of conditions and locations.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: When my military training here is over, I will ask you to come over and have a look together. Then we can finalize the decision after understanding the specific situation.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Okay, anyway, the studio doesn’t have much money in its account now, and we have to wait for the game to make money.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Hey, you think we should be able to get our money back, right? But don’t even be able to pay the rent by then.

[Yicai Yanyu]: You may not make much money this month, but wait until next month and don’t open your mouth too big when you do the accounting.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Hey, just blow it, it’s not like I’ve never seen big money before.

After chatting with his financial director, Xu Xing had time to deal with his logistics director.

At this moment, Li Zhibin sent a series of messages.

【Abin】: It’s finally on the shelves! I’ve been waiting for it for a long time!

[A Bin]: I’m a little nervous now. Lao Xu, are you too nervous to death?

[A Bin]: Hahaha~ Your boss must be much more nervous than me. You have invested so much money. If you can’t get your money back, I’m afraid your mother will beat you to death.

[A Bin]: But don’t worry, I will ask my classmates to support you, or help you promote it in school?

[A Bin]: I feel like the classmates around me like playing games, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Looking at the long list of messages sent by Li Zhibin, Xu Xing was speechless for a while.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Just be more calm. The logistics manager should act like a logistics manager, so don’t worry about it.

【Abin】: Damn it! I care about you.

[A Bin]: Besides, why don’t I help you promote it? Didn’t you say before that you were going to do “Light of Domestic Mobile Games”? Didn’t I help you warm up in advance?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: You can pull me down.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: If you can get your classmates to download a Fruit Assassin, I will give you half of the selling price.

[A Bin]: Real or fake? Even if you look down on me, you can’t look down on the students of Peking University, right?

Seeing his words, Xu Xing suddenly laughed twice.

This has something to do with the students of Beijing University.

The characteristics of the domestic game market determine that the buyout system is a difficult route to follow.

With a huge population and generally low-income groups, coupled with the long-term influence of piracy and free thinking, it is difficult for people to buy a game, even if it only costs a few yuan.

Even if the money may be the price of a cup of milk tea, or just a pack of cigarettes.

What's more, Fruit Assassin is now online in the US this time.

If you want to download it, you must have a Pineapple mobile phone, which is enough to block most people from the threshold.

After all, although pineapple mobile phones were popular at home and abroad during this period, the main market was still North America. Although there were many people in China, there were still relatively few people who would actually spend money to buy pineapple mobile phones.

Of course, the actual number of people is actually not that small.

But then you have to meet the second threshold, which is to register an ID in the US region.

Controls are not strict these days, and it is relatively simple to register an ID in a foreign region, but with such an intermediate process, many people may be too lazy to do it.

Not to mention that their studio’s Fruit Assassin still has a buyout system, so you have to pay first if you want to download it.

In China, you cannot use the online payment methods supported by the US, so you have to purchase the corresponding gift card online now, then redeem it on the App Store, and then you can purchase the corresponding game.

Such a process is enough to turn away domestic players who were originally willing to give it a try.

Fortunately, Xu Xing didn't regard domestic players as his first target, so he didn't take them seriously.

After Fruit Assassin is successfully launched on the shelves, it is estimated that except for members within their company, few others will be bored enough to download and play a foreign buyout mobile game.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: It’s still early before it’s released on the shelves. Let’s not talk about it for now. How is your military training going?

[A Bin]: What else can I do? Just like that, it feels boring and very tiring.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Isn’t there a girl you like?

[A Bin]: Damn! You still have the nerve to say that? Who made a bet with me before that prevented me from falling in love for four years in college?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Are you still serious?

【Abin】: Not that seriously...

[A Bin]: But to be honest, Lao Xu, you came up with a game during the summer vacation and it is really going to be put on the shelves to make money. It really has a great impact on me.

[A Bin]: I really didn’t think so much after the college entrance examination before, but now all I can think about is what I will do after graduation.

【Abin】: I always feel a little confused in life and can’t find my direction.

[Yicao Yanyu]: You are now my logistics manager, but you still can’t find the direction?

[A Bin]: Stop making fun of me... I, the logistics manager, are all joking.

[A Bin]: Although the others all have titles for fun, at least everyone has their own role to play. I am the most idle and useless one. To be honest, I just joined your team by force.

All a little embarrassed.

Seeing the message from Li Zhibin, Xu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this guy had awakened quite early.

Originally, he thought that Li Zhibin would slowly start to feel this way after at least a few more months and the real start of college life.

Unexpectedly, he has already begun to have his own thoughts about his life and future.

After thinking about it, Xu Xing pondered for a moment, and then laughed.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Do you really think so?

【Abin】: What other lies should I tell you?

[Yicai Yanyu]: Then I happen to have something that no one else can do for the time being, and only you can do it. Do you want to give it a try?

[A Bin]: Ah? Real or fake? Don’t tease me.

【一蓓雨】: Don’t worry, it’s very simple. You have followed the previous process, but the location has changed from Shanghai to Kyoto.
