Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Xu Xing didn't stay in the bedroom for too long.

After hearing the door closing in the bathroom, he packed up the things in his suitcase and returned to the living room with his laptop in hand.

The National Day will be after midnight. At that time, a game will be updated, a game will be launched, and the WeChat assistant will also appear on the stage of history.

Although Xu Xing has arranged all this, the effect is still unknown.

After all, no one relied on this method to break through in the previous life. In order to bypass the tall walls and moats of QQ, Xu Xing could only rely on clever ways to have the opportunity to accumulate the most primitive user base for WeChat Assistant.

In this regard, Liao Qinyu, who was far away in Shanghai, was even more nervous than Xu Xing.

"Everyone works hard tonight, and the overtime pay will not be less."

Liao Qinyu stood in the center of the office area, looking around at the few remaining employees responsible for emergency maintenance systems. He rubbed his hands nervously, covered his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath in and out.

He had previously been the head of the mobile terminal of a certain hi social software department, and had accumulated considerable experience in this area. During the development of the WeChat assistant, Xu Xing gave very clear suggestions and requirements.

This made the entire development process extremely smooth. In just over half a month, a simple but complete WeChat assistant with basic functions was born.

But what really made Liao Qinyu nervous was the initial promotion strategy formulated by Xu Xing.

Although this tricky approach can indeed secure a peaceful development period for WeChat Assistant, Liao Qinyu doesn't know if it will work if he wants to change direction later.

【Xu Xing】:Relax a little.

【Xu Xing】: To put it bluntly, it’s just an attempt.

[Xu Xing]: If you really can’t compete with QQ in the future, then WeChat Assistant is just an ordinary game platform channel. You can keep your mind calm and it’s not terrible if you fail.

Seeing the comforting message from Mr. Xu, Liao Qinyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

[Liao Qinyu]: If it is really just a game platform, then I will definitely be very relaxed. With Mr. Xu’s ability, as long as the subsequent games are high-quality, I can definitely win with quality.

[Liao Qinyu]: Now Fruit Assassin alone has tens of millions of user traffic. Once the game platform grows, games from other companies will be happy to be launched on our channel.

[Liao Qinyu]: But in social networking... To be honest, even though I said at some point that hi had a chance to capture a piece of the mobile market, I never expected to compete with Tencent's QQ.

[Liao Qinyu]: In fact, my original idea was to make a B2B or B2C social software to differentiate it from QQ, but I was not sure about this part of the market. In addition, it is actually difficult to use QQ directly for work now.

It was very convenient, so I didn’t think about it any more.

In the hotel in Kyoto, Xu Xing was slightly surprised when he looked at Liao Qinyu's speech.

For B2B or B2C social software, isn’t it Enterprise WeChat or DingTalk?

Liao Qinyu is indeed a veteran who has been deeply involved in social software for a long time, and his sense of smell in this field is indeed very sensitive.

[Xu Xing]: The social networking in niche areas you mentioned is indeed a good idea, but currently the C2C social model is more mainstream. You can write down this idea first and think about it more, and we will discuss it in detail later.

[Liao Qinyu]: Does Mr. Xu think there is something interesting?

[Xu Xing]: B2B and B2C, to put it bluntly, are social software used by corporate organizations for their own internal use or for other companies and individuals.

[Xu Xing]: For example, a certain degree of hi is now actually equivalent to their internal enterprise version of QQ.

[Xu Xing]: If this enterprise version of QQ is developed specifically for internal company communication and workflow, provides more detailed functions only for company affairs, and can be promoted among enterprises, it can do more than QQ.

good.

Xu Xing simply gave an example and stopped, then said.

[Xu Xing]: But this is not the key now. Let’s do the things in front of us first.

[Liao Qinyu]: Okay, let me write it down first.

While the two were communicating, it was already approaching early morning.

After Yan Chijuan took a shower, he walked out of the bathroom and wiped his hair with a towel.

Xu Xing, who was sitting behind the desk by the window in the living room, raised his head and glanced after hearing the movement, and was suddenly stunned.

At this time, Yan Chijuan was still wearing the pajamas he usually wore in the shared apartment, but his lower body was not wearing the pajamas.

The cute pink pajamas were long-sleeved and tightly wrapped Yan Chijuan's upper body, but the hem only reached half of her thighs.

Especially when Yan Chijuan raised his hands to wipe his hair with a towel, the lower hem of his clothes was lifted up again.

Although Yan Chijuan doesn't have the long legs of 1.7 meters like Xu Niannian, her slender white legs are still very attractive.

Especially when paired with Yan Chijuan's petite body, which is less than 1.6 meters tall, just looking at the proportions, her legs are actually not short, and the overall look is very well-proportioned and slender.

Well, ignore the little issue of height.

"You are so courageous." Xu Xing helplessly held his forehead, murmured, and pinched his temples to wake himself up a little.

Yan Chijuan didn't hear what Xu Xing was saying. He just lowered his head shyly and didn't dare to look at Xu Xing.

When she got close to Xu Xing, she used her hands to pull on the hem of her clothes, trying to pull her pajamas down a little, but in the end, her upper body was completely tightened, making her look even more attractive.

At this moment, Yan Chiju actually felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have listened to the advice Yao Yuanyuan sent just now. Would this kind of deliberate temptation make Xu Xing hate her?

"Come here."

Xu Xing stood up from the chair, picked up the hair dryer in the cabinet nearby, pulled Yan Chijuan to sit on the sofa, and went around behind her to take the towel off her head.

After the hair dryer was turned on, Yan Chijuan's short hair became flowing. She felt Xu Xing's big hands rubbing her head, and she narrowed her eyes in comfort.

"Remember to put on your pajamas later so you don't catch a cold." As Xu Xing said, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yan Chijuan's white and tender thighs, and he took a few deep breaths to calm down.

You know, tonight is different from renting an apartment in Shanghai before.

There is at least one Xu Niannian there, but here there are only two people, Xu Xing and Yan Chiju.

What's more, it's in a special place like a hotel.

Faced with Yan Chijie's lack of defense against him, Xu Xing was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself.

But Yan Chijuan thought Xu Xing was angry, lowered his head and tensed up, timidly trying to find a way to make amends for himself: "I know... I just forgot to take my pajamas... and left them in the bedroom."

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, feeling the hair on his palms gradually change from wet to smooth. He reluctantly turned his eyes to the night view outside the window, and suddenly asked coldly, "Jiju, do you think I will take you with me this time?"

Why did you come to Kyoto?"

"Ah?" Yan Chijie was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, "No, it's not that...it's because the people in the company are too busy, so you asked me to act as a secretary?"

"Ha." Xu Xing smiled, thinking that the little girl is really easy to deceive.

When the company was first started, there was only one secretary, Peng Yuxuan, who was very busy internally. Naturally, there was no time for him to come to Kyoto to help.

But after that, the company continued to expand its recruitment, and there were already several more people in administrative positions. Even if Peng Yuxuan himself had something to do and couldn't come, it would be no problem to randomly select someone else to come.

If necessary, Xu Xing doesn't need to bring Yan Chi vinegar with him.

"Have you ever seen a secretary who could let her boss blow dry her hair?" Xu Xing changed her hand to hold the hair dryer, looked away from the window, and accidentally dug into the collar of Yan Chi Jiu's pajamas, and quickly turned away to avoid it.

When Yan Chiju heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He twisted his legs and defended in a low voice: "It was obviously the boss himself who took the initiative to pull me to dry my hair just now..."

"Forget it, let's wait until these days are over." Xu Xing looked at her cute look and reluctantly held back, then said, "After the work here is over, you can accompany me to spend a day in Kyoto."

"Okay, okay." Yan Chijue nodded repeatedly, "Sister Yuanyuan will be coming later, do we want to come together?"

"Yao Yuanyuan came here on a business trip, not for tourism." Xu Xingdan said, "I am the boss, so I am qualified to arrange a day trip for myself to relax."

"Ah... what about me?" Yan Chijie asked cautiously, "I'm not the boss either."

"You are my secretary." Xu Xing looked down at her and chuckled, "Of course the secretary has to follow the boss."

Although they were talking about secretary, the two of them were probably thinking about another word at this time.

"Okay." Xu Xing turned off the hair dryer, rubbed Yan Chijuan's head fondly, and then said, "It's getting late, go to bed, I'll take a shower and go to bed."

"Yeah." Yan Chijue stood up from the sofa. She didn't have the nerve to look at Xu Xing for a second, so she walked into her bedroom in small steps in slippers. When the door was about to close, she poked her head out from the crack in the door and smiled.

Blushing, he said to Xu Xing, "Good night, boss."

"Good night."

…

Early morning on October 1st.

Fruit Assassin version updated.

A two-player mode has been added, including random matching and friend mutual assistance modes.

Among them, random matching allows the player to pair up with another unfamiliar player. Then both parties enter the same game interface to start the game. They can compete with each other to cut fruits. If you cut the bomb, points will be deducted. After one minute, whoever has the higher score will win.

.

In mutual aid with friends, you can invite your friends to cut fruit together. With the help of your friends, you can get higher scores, persist longer, and interact with your friends.

At the same time, Tianshu Company’s new game, Secret Escape, was also officially launched.

Taking advantage of the various public opinions that have been fermenting on the Internet these days, Escape has received a lot of attention as soon as it appeared.

From early in the morning until 12 noon, with the recommendation of Fruit Assassin's opening advertisement and the promotion of other major channels, the number of downloads of Secret Escape quickly exceeded the 300,000 mark, and the growth is still accelerating.

…

Three o'clock in the afternoon, the office of the Min University News Center.

An Xinyue walked out of it very discouraged, her whole body was downcast.

Because she had not been able to interview Yan Chijiu and Xu Xing before, the entire report was just her personal conjecture without any solid evidence, so her manuscript was rejected by the teacher.

After all, their school's school magazine still has to pay attention to the authenticity of the news, and it is impossible to adopt this kind of news that is like a roadside gossip tabloid.

An Xinyue wasn't that angry, she was just a little pity. If she had been braver yesterday and stopped the two people before they entered the elevator, maybe she would have gotten the first-hand information.

She was itching now. When she thought that the boss of Qunxing Company was so young and flew to Kyoto with the youngest freshman in the founding team, Min Da, for business, she couldn't wait to put her report in the school magazine.

Such a young boss!

It's simply too exciting.

If she didn't want to be regarded as a paparazzi, she wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. An Xinyue returned to the dormitory, sat down at her desk, and sighed quietly.

As a result, the roommate next to me who didn't go home during the National Day holiday suddenly said: "Yueyue, do you want to play games?"

"Ah?" An Xinyue was a little confused, "I don't play games very much."

"It's not a computer game, it's a mobile game, that Fruit Assassin." said the roommate, "I don't think you were playing it before?"

"Isn't that just a little game? You can just play it yourself." An Xinyue said with a smile.

"Hey, don't you know, Fruit Assassin has been updated." The roommate said quickly, "A friend mode has been added. Why don't you update it and play together? I don't have any other friends."

"Friends mode?"

An Xinyue was a little curious, and with her favorable impression of Tianshu Game, she immediately took out her phone and updated Fruit Assassin.

After the update was completed, she clicked to enter the game and found that the opening screen advertisement showed a game character running on a road similar to the Great Wall, constantly turning left and right and jumping.

Looking at the familiar picture above, An Xinyue suddenly recalled that Tianshu Company's secret escape seemed to be launched today.

So she simply clicked in, selected download, and then clicked on Fruit Assassin again to enter the game.

After closing the various activity pages that popped up, An Xinyue followed her roommate's prompts and found the new two-player mode.

As a result, a prompt popped up on the interface.

[The user has not completed account registration and binding, and cannot enter the two-player mode]

Below is a [Register Now] button.

An Xinyue followed the prompts and registered an account with her mobile phone number. After completing the binding, she added her roommate's friends, and the two immediately entered the friend mutual assistance mode in the two-player mode, happily cutting fruit together.

There is a saying, after adding such a friend mode, cutting fruits, which was already a bit boring, suddenly sparked players' fun again.

Especially in the friend mutual aid mode, two people are scored separately. It is said to be friends helping each other, but in fact it is a disguised friend battle mode.

An Xinyue played with her roommate for more than half an hour. The roommate thought she was too good and unchallenged, so she went to QQ to find other classmates to invite her.

After An Xinyue experienced it, she found it very interesting and shared it with her boyfriend.

Then she curiously clicked on various things in Fruit Assassin to see what other updates had been made besides the friend mode, and found that there were two more new skins in the skin mall.

However, these two new skins are skins from this week’s event and cannot be redeemed with achievement points for the time being. You need to wait until the event ends in a week before the achievement point redemption mode will be opened.

During this period, you can only complete the activities according to the requirements.

Of course, it’s no problem if you want to buy it directly.

An Xinyue looked at the requirements for obtaining the two skins. One of the skins requires sharing the Fruit Assassin on designated social platforms, such as Weibo, within three days of the week.

After meeting this condition, you can not only get free skins, but also other rewards such as resurrection coins.

As for the other one, it's a bit special.

You actually have to download some kind of WeChat assistant to get it for free.

With her trust in Tianshu Company, An Xinyue clicked to download the WeChat assistant. She did not need to register again. After entering, she could log in directly with the account registered by Fruit Assassin.

After entering, there is an interface similar to the QQ conversation list, but it looks much simpler, or monotonous and crude.

At this time, a new dialog box has appeared above, displaying the account number of the roommate.

But when An Xinyue curiously clicked on the dialog box of her roommate, a prompt popped up - [Your gaming friends have not yet registered for WeChat Assistant. You can invite your friends to join and observe the status of all games under Tianshu Games in real time.

Friends ranking]

"Hey, Lele." An Xinyue thought it was interesting, and quickly patted her roommate beside her, "Download a WeChat assistant and have a look. It's the one that can get skins for free."

"Huh? Let me take a look." The roommate followed An Xinyue's prompts and downloaded a WeChat assistant. After logging in, the two of them were able to communicate.

[Wang Lele]: Is this so? Can you still send messages?

[An Xinyue]: Got it, it’s quite interesting.

"Isn't this QQ?" Wang Lele curled her lips, looked at other functions, and found the game center button at the bottom.

After clicking to enter, the game center interface looks very shabby, with only two games: Fruit Assassin and Secret Escape at the top.

Among them, Fruit Assassin shows that it has been downloaded, while Secret Escape is still not downloaded.

Below this, the ranking list of Fruit Assassin's points is displayed.

Wang Lele has just added many classmates as friends. Even if the other party has not downloaded WeChat Assistant, as long as they register Fruit Assassin and add friends in the game, Wang Lele can see the other party's points here.

So she took a look at her points and found that she was ranked fourth among her friends, with only An Xinyue at the bottom. She felt unconvinced and immediately opened the Fruit Assassin.

After An Xinyue clicked into the game center, she curiously clicked on the downloaded Secret Escape and opened the game directly.

Entering the game out of curiosity, An Xinyue originally just wanted to give it a try.

Who would have thought that this attempt lasted more than an hour.

…

[As of 21:00 on October 1, the number of downloads of Secret Escape has officially exceeded one million]

At nine o'clock in the evening, Tianshu Games officially released an official announcement on Weibo to celebrate the download count of Uncharted Escape exceeding one million.

On the Internet, the news in major media outlets is also about secret escapes.

Especially this kind of 3D parkour mobile game, the excitement of running forward without stopping is attracting players who cannot put down their mobile phones.

In less than a day, a new round of public opinion triggered by the three new games of Fruit Assassin and Tencent has directly triggered the popularity of the new game Escape on National Day.

[It’s really fun, the operation is simple, but it also gives people a very thrilling and exciting feeling. I played for three hours in the afternoon and felt hopeless]

[The Tianshu game is so surprising. Fruit Assassin is followed by Secret Realm Escape. I am looking forward to the new game on the 4th]

[Tenxin hurry up and learn. When will it be able to create new games like Tianshu Games? Or is the parkour project already established internally? 】

[Didn’t Tianshu Games say that the new game on the 4th is also a parkour game? It’s just that it will be different from Secret Escape in gameplay. I just want to see what Tencent can copy it now]

[Have you noticed the skin mall of Secret Escape? There are not only character skins, but also monster skins, the monster chasing us]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I’m laughing so hard! All the monster skins in Secret Escape must be redeemed with at least achievement points. Only one penguin skin is available for free. If you fail the game, you will be overtaken by the penguins~]

[I give this operation full marks]

[Speaking of which, have you downloaded WeChat Assistant? The game center is quite easy to use. After adding friends, you can directly see the friend rankings of the two games, and you can also directly click on the game icon to enter the game]

[You can also chat with friends, but this function cannot be compared with QQ? Is it possible that Tianshu wants to enter the social software? 】

[Probably not. I saw an advertisement for WeChat Assistant on a certain website. It said that it was creating a game platform exclusive to Tianshu Games. In the future, when more games are produced by Tianshu Company, I feel that this game platform is quite good.

development potential]

[It is recommended that Tianshu Company directly develop WeChat Assistant into a specialized social software, and directly counterattack Tencent (funny)]

[Hahaha! Don’t think too much about this. Tenxin, among other things, is really invincible. I can’t even uninstall it. All my friends are bound to it]

…

The comment area on Weibo is very lively.

Here in Kyoto, the first day of National Day passed quickly.

As Li Zhibin contacted various start-up teams or companies he had known before, he successively signed several angel or A-round financing intentions.

In the investment circles in Kyoto, news about Qunxing Investment Management Company gradually spread.

In just one day, tens of millions of funds were invested.

Although it is just a letter of intent for financing, the specific contract has not been signed yet.

But after learning that Qunxing Investment Management Company is behind Qunxing Company, which started out as a mobile game company in Shanghai, many people became interested in this company.

Although it may sound like a nouveau riche, for entrepreneurs here in Kyoto, getting investment money is the most important thing.

Those professional investment institutions are not easy to fool, so trying your luck with Qunxing Company is another way to go.

So starting from the night of the 1st, the business cards that Li Zhibin had sent out one after another last month that no one cared about were suddenly found by some people.

For a time, Li Zhibin has become a very popular star in the Kyoto investment circle.

"Our game only made 70-80 million last month, right? You asked me to spend 30-40 million right now, and my hands are still shaking."

In the luxurious private room of the hotel, Li Zhibin was sitting on the sofa, feeling a little dizzy. He looked at the several financing letters of intent on the table and was lost in thought.

Although he had already discussed many of these issues several times last month, and worked out financing funds and various conditions, because Xu Xing didn't let him invest, nothing came of it in the end.

But today, under Xu Xing's instruction, Li Zhibin attacked directly and quickly won the financing intentions of several founding teams.

Although this thing actually has no legal effect, follow-up financing negotiations must continue, and various detailed terms and conditions have not been finalized, but the amount mentioned above alone has reached an astonishing more than 40 million.

"The financing money is not given in one go." Xu Xing said calmly while drinking tea, "And it has just begun. Follow-up negotiations will have to be done slowly. We will wait until Yao Yuanyuan brings someone here in a few days."

With Xu Xing present, Li Zhibin at least felt less weak. After relaxing his mood a little, he asked: "Then what are we going to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Shall we rest?"

"Why are you taking a break?" Xu Xing smiled. At this moment, Li Zhibin's cell phone rang again, so he pointed to Li Zhibin's cell phone and said, "Look, we are getting busy now."

"None of the people calling are the people you are targeting..." Li Zhibin muttered, but he still answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone, "Hello, this is Li Zhibin, the head of Qunxing Investment, who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Chen Wei. I am currently developing a software called Didi Taxi. Are you available recently? Or I can chat with you directly on the phone. I am available at any time now.

Do you see it?"

…

——————————

October 2nd, early morning.

Xu Xing was wandering in his sleep when he was suddenly awakened by a shaking.

"Boss, wake up."

"Didn't you say yesterday that you would get up early today?"

"It's almost seven o'clock."

Hearing the girl's gentle tone, Xu Xing reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Yan Chijuan kneeling on one leg beside the bed, wearing a pajamas, lying on the bed to shake him awake.

Xu Xing rubbed his eyes with one hand, put the other hand on Yan Chijuan's head, and then placed it on her pink face, squeezing it gently.

"I know, let me sleep a little longer."

Yan Chiju blushed a little when he pinched his face, but he still didn't give up. After thinking about it, he simply pulled the quilt on Xu Xing's body and tried to lift the quilt off with a strong force towards the end of the bed.

Fortunately, Xu Xing reacted in time and woke up. He quickly grabbed his quilt and shouted: "No, no, no!"

The quilt was lifted up and quickly pulled back by him.

But Yan Chijuan was already there, her cheeks turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She immediately turned around and ran out of the bedroom, slamming the door.

"The boss is a pervert!"
