Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

"I told you there's no need, why are you so bothered? Get out."

October 9, morning.

Zhang Nong led his team to promote the EatMe takeaway platform system at a Pizza Hut restaurant, but was kicked out by the manager inside.

The classmates who were pulled into the promotion team by Zhang Nong looked dissatisfied and muttered: "This manager is really nothing. When we go in, we all order first and then talk to them about business after eating. This is already polite enough.

As a result, every time he sees us finishing our order, he turns his back on us and refuses to recognize us."

"We've seen a lot of people like this." Another classmate curled his lips, "The more famous the restaurant, the easier it is for people inside to be like this. Let's try something else."

"The more popular shops around the school have basically been taken over." Zhang Nong flipped through the documents in his hand. The catalog was full of shop names, corresponding addresses and contact information. "Now we only need these few comparisons."

A reputable store.”

In just three days, Zhang Nong has successfully convinced other stores around the school based on the takeout data from more than a dozen stores in the early stage.

On the first day after the launch of the Eat.me takeout platform, although the sales of each store increased slightly, the effect was not obvious yet.

But as Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu gradually stepped up their promotional activities, and organized manpower to sweep the buildings at night to promote the food, the Eat.me takeaway platform quickly spread among the students on campus.

So, on the next day, the dozen or so nearby stores that participated in the E-Me platform suddenly experienced a surge in takeaway sales.

Originally, there were only thirty or forty takeout orders in one day, but on the second day, almost all the takeout sales exceeded 100!

Food like hand pancakes, which is easy and quick to make, even sold two to three hundred takeout orders, almost breaking the boss's arm.

So, with these data in hand, Zhang Nong successfully got the idea of ​​​​settling from the shop owner who had previously refused to settle.

On the third day, the number of merchants on the Eat.me takeout platform suddenly increased from 13 stores to 34.

It has covered almost all the stores closest to Min Da.

In addition to large fast food restaurants such as Pizza Hut and KFC, as well as some high-end restaurants.

Among them, the former is because it has its own takeout delivery platform, so it basically refuses door-to-door harassment from Chime.

The latter focuses on dine-in food and basically does not provide takeout service, so it is natural to exclude Chime.

"Anyway, let's put these stores aside for now. Let's focus on other things for the time being." Zhang Nong said this, and the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took out the new mobile phone Xu Xing had given him on the pretext of work needs and opened WeChat. There was a message from Xu Xing.

[Xu Xing]: I submitted an application form related to entrepreneurship support to Lao Wu before, and today a document was just approved, providing us with a storefront.

[Xu Xing]: I'll send you the address. It's next to the school gate, but the location is a little off. There are usually less people, so I haven't rented it out yet.

[Xu Xing]: It can be used as an office space for employees, and can also be used to rent electric vehicles to delivery workers. Remember to make arrangements for these.

[Zhang Nong]: Okay, Brother Xu, I’ll bring someone over right away to clean it up first.

[Xu Xing]: Oh, by the way, Lao Wu has said that we can start our own business, and we can ask for leave at any time, but we can’t fall behind in our studies. For subjects with midterm exam scores, our scores must at least reach the passing mark. Is that okay?

[Zhang Nong]: I don’t have any questions. Brother Xu also remembered to remind Brother Lu and Brother Jian that I took the time to study on my own during the weekend. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.

【Xu Xing】: That’s okay, you can go and do your work.

[Zhang Nong]: Brother Xu, wait, I have something else to ask.

[Xu Xing]:Huh?

[Zhang Nong]: Now that most of the shops around the school have settled in, what should we do next? Should we continue to look for shops further away?

【Xu Xing】:Of course not.

[Xu Xing]: Now let’s do a good job in Minda’s business. I’ll give you half a month to adjust, study and sort out the management model of the food delivery platform.

[Xu Xing]: This thing is not something you just bring in a store and pile up the number of users.

[Xu Xing]: You may encounter various problems during this period, including what to do if the merchant's delivery is slow, what to do if the delivery person spills the lunch box in the middle, or even the delivery person secretly eats the takeout, or the electric car is stolen while picking up the food.

Or maybe the person who ordered takeout didn't answer the phone for a long time.

[Xu Xing]: These emergencies will happen later. You must be prepared and come up with a response plan.

[Xu Xing]: Do your best internal work in the early stage, at least for more than half a month. After you sort out all these internal problems, it will be the time for us to continue to expand.

[Zhang Nong]: What about stores like Pizza Hut?

[Xu Xing]: Don’t worry, they will only actively ask to join in the future.

…

In the office, after Xu Xing finished his conversation with Zhang Nong, he sent another message to Wu Zhiguo.

[Xu Xing]: Teacher Wu, I told Zhang Nong, please bear with me in the future.

[Wu Zhiguo]: Haha, I can be regarded as lending him a favor. If he has any problems in this area in the future, just ask him to come to me directly.

After submitting Xu Xing's application form for entrepreneurship support and approval at a meeting with the hospital leaders, counselor Wu Zhiguo was appointed to serve as the liaison and instructor for their food delivery platform support plan.

In recent years, it is quite common for students to start entrepreneurial projects in the field of Internet+.

Wu Zhiguo didn't say much about Xu Xing's personal situation at the meeting, so the college leaders simply thought it was just an entrepreneurial project for ordinary college students, and after a brief discussion, they didn't pay much attention to it.

If the food delivery platform develops well in the future, it may be able to receive publicity and awards from departments and even schools, but it has not been launched yet.

After all, Chimei has only been online for three days, and the user registration and usage rates have not yet fully developed their potential. Everything still needs time to brew.

【Xu Xing】:Okay, I will tell him later.

[Xu Xing]: In addition, Teacher Wu, I am still in the company at the moment, so I have asked for leave for the afternoon class.

[Wu Zhiguo]: You'd better go to class and don't take down too much homework.

[Xu Xing]: Basic programming subjects are basically meaningless to me... Teacher Wu, don’t forget what I do.

[Wu Zhiguo]: Uh... I forgot about this.

Just thinking about the platform outside, Wu Zhiguo almost forgot what this guy's main business was.

If you were able to develop a game before school started, your computer skills must not be a big problem.

In this way, the university courses are probably not too difficult for him, and it doesn't make a big difference whether he goes to class or not.

[Wu Zhiguo]: Okay, but if you want to take leave every day, you still have to report it to me, so don’t take it seriously.

【Xu Xing】:Okay.

[Xu Xing]: Also, Teacher Wu, what do you think of this WeChat app?

[Wu Zhiguo]: Not bad? It’s not as fancy as QQ, and it looks much cleaner.

[Xu Xing]: Would you recommend it to all the teachers in the office? Relatives, friends, and school leaders can also recommend it.

[Wu Zhiguo]: You treat me as free publicity, right? Is it possible that you still want to replace QQ?

[Xu Xing]: No, no, QQ is the big brother, and I still respect it very much.

[Wu Zhiguo]: You bosses really don’t tell the truth. How can a teacher deceive you?

【Xu Xing】: How could it be? Everything I said is true.

Wu Zhiguo looked at the message sent by Xu Xing and couldn't help but smile. He really liked the way Xu Xing, a student, communicated with him.

There is neither too much alienation or caution because of the status of students and teachers, nor does one feel superior to others because he is the boss of the company.

Wu Zhiguo couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought that he could meet such a figure like Xu Xing in his coaching career.

[Wu Zhiguo]: Okay, I can help you promote it, but whether people download it or not is another matter.

[Xu Xing]: Thank you first, Teacher Wu. I’ll treat you to dinner when I get back to school.

After chatting with the counselor, Xu Xing put down his phone and stretched out on his office chair.

Then he stood up, counted the three game planning plans on the table, and said to Peng Yuxuan at the door: "Find someone to come in for a meeting, group them according to the previous projects, and call in the Rhythm King project team first.

"

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Peng Yuxuan heard the order and immediately got up and went out to call someone.

Xu Xing stood by the window and stretched his body, looking out at the distant scenery.

In the past two days, the two projects "High Speed ​​Rail Parkour" and "Exciting Skiing" that were prepared before have been handed over to Lei Wenyan and He Sitong respectively.

They have already had project experience in "Secret Escape" and "Happy Run" before. This time they continue to delve into the parkour theme, which can be regarded as support and training for them.

As for the other three new projects, "Rhythm King" and "Guard Carrot" will be developed by Gong Ao.

The former is a music mobile game made by tapping the notes that appear according to the rhythm of the music and completing a song like playing the piano.

The latter is a Q-version cute style tower defense game.

After Peng Yuxuan called all Gong Ao's team members in, everyone habitually brought their stools in and crowded into the office for meetings.

"Recently, the company has been looking for office buildings around it. Let's just feel aggrieved again." Xu Xing watched the employees take their seats and said with a smile, "When there is a new office space, there will be a dedicated conference room."

"It's okay." Gong Ao chuckled nonchalantly, "Mr. Xu, your salary and bonus are enough. I'm sure everyone has no other objections."

Everyone else would smile, but they didn't dare to make jokes like Gong Ao, but they were still very satisfied with the bonuses within Tianshu Game.

There is a 10% profit bonus pool for the first three months. Even if the number of team members is increasing now, it is still a very generous amount.

The only thing they are worried about now is whether their Mr. Xu can continue to lead Tianshu Games to success like the previous games.

After all, Fruit Assassin and Secret Realm Escape are both games with relatively simple core gameplay. The following games, Rhythm King and Guard Carrot, although they are also limited to one type of theme in terms of gameplay, are obviously more difficult to make than the first two.

Under such circumstances, it is still unknown whether Xu Xing can lead everyone to produce a game with good quality and performance.

However, for Xu Xing, with the core gameplay, game mode and specific details provided by himself, plus Gong Ao, an experienced planner from the former game department of a certain degree, to control the specific progress of the project development, it can be said that it is

No pressure.

The only thing we need to worry about is following the trend and crowding out from Penguin.

But... the number of WeChat users has exceeded 1.5 million.

You know, it has been less than ten days since WeChat went online. According to this growth rate, by the end of the month, it is expected to exceed the five million user mark.

This speed is enough to put most domestic social software out of reach.

In other words, Tencent's mobile QQ can take advantage of the number of users provided by the computer to stand at the top and overlook the world.

And once WeChat grows to the level of five million or even tens of millions, when Tianshu Company launches new games, even if there is no other promotion, just the traffic of its own games and WeChat itself will be enough.

It's enough to push the data of a game up.

Not to mention that Xu Xing still carries the huge advantage of past life information, so it is really difficult to make a breakthrough.

Of course, saying that I won’t rush into the street is a bit absolute.

For example, Xu Xing was actually a little unsure about the third project.

After explaining the specific development process and precautions for "Rhythm King" and "Guard Carrot", Xu Xing announced the dissolution of the meeting.

Gong Ao took people back to the workstation to start research and development, while Xu Xing asked Peng Yuxuan to call in the project team of the dress-up game.

Soon, Xu Niannian and Yan Chijue walked into the office.

Among them, Xu Niannian is mainly responsible for art, and Yan Chiju is the main person in charge of project procedures.

After the showdown between Xu Xing and Wu Zhiguo, it became much easier for Yan Chijuan to ask for leave. He no longer had to think about having to go to class every day during the day as before and could only rush over at night.

As long as he ensured that his usual grades would not fail, Wu Zhiguo would basically turn a blind eye to Xu Xing.

"Let's take a look at the planning plan first." Xu Xing motioned to Peng Yuxuan to go out and wait, and then sent the planning plan in his hands to the two of them, "I will explain the content first, and then you will ask questions."

Xu Xing's understanding of dress-up games is actually relatively limited, and his current planning plan is the poorest in content among several games.

However, in the domestic female-oriented mobile game market, such games have always been in a niche and scarce state. As long as the quality is guaranteed, female players' desire to make money is often much stronger than that of male players.

Many survey data can show that in the mobile game market, generally speaking, the proportion of male players who engage in prostitution for free is much higher than that of female players.

If possible, Xu Xing would naturally not give up exploring this market easily.

"...the core gameplay is mainly based on dressing up levels that match the progression of the plot. Players can continuously collect new clothes sets, develop characters and collect costumes through the development of the plot."

"In this regard, the art resources of clothing will be very important, which is why you, Xu Niannian, are in charge."

"In addition, due to the current performance of mobile phones, the most suitable 3D modeling is not available for the time being. At that time, Yan Chijuan will need to connect Mihuyou's 2.5D rendering technology, which can be regarded as a technical compensation."

Xu Xing explained the contents of the planning plan in detail, and also explained the reason why this project was given to them.

After all, when it comes to dressing up, girls definitely understand girls better.

Although this kind of dress-up mobile game in the previous life also attracted many male players who came to raise daughters, the mainstream player group is still dominated by female players.

At this time, it is particularly crucial for the development team to design the characters, plots and costumes in the game from a female perspective.

However, at the current stage when the dress-up mobile game market has not yet matured, Xu Xing's requirements are not high. For the first dress-up mobile game, he is already ready to train Xu Niannian and Yan Chiju.

Once you accumulate experience with this first game, you will naturally be able to continue to make breakthroughs in the future.

"I have a problem, I have a problem!"

After Xu Xing finished speaking, it was time for questions.

Xu Niannian immediately raised his hands and couldn't wait to ask something.

"What's the problem?" Xu Xing asked curiously.

"Hehe." Xu Niannian smiled slyly, "Mr. Xu, it seems you haven't given the game a name in your planning plan? It just says Dress Up Mobile Game."

"You can decide this internally." Xu Xing said, "After all, it is a mobile game for women. The specific name must be liked by female players. It is more appropriate for you to choose the name."

"Then I have an idea." Xu Niannian smiled evilly, "Just ask Junjiu to change his clothes and make a note of it~"

Xu Xing: "..."

"No, can you please stop making trouble? Are you really going to give this name to the heroine in it?"

"Jun Jiu'er Jun Jiu'er~" Xu Niannian even hummed, "Jiu'er is such a nice name, aren't you jealous?"

Of course Yan Chijiu knew where the name came from. He covered his mouth and snickered. After being asked by Xu Niannian, under Xu Xing's stern gaze, he still nodded vigorously in agreement: "I support Sister Niannian. This name is really nice."

!”

"You have the ability to use your own name." Xu Xing said with a speechless expression.

"Okay." Xu Niannian chuckled twice, hugged Yan Chijuan, raised his chin and said to Xu Xing, "Then let's make two more characters, one is called Niannian and the other is called Juju. They are both.

Jun Jiuer’s good sister~”

After hearing this, Xu Xing's head suddenly filled with black threads: "...Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything, just be happy."

It was rare for Yan Chi Ji to see her boyfriend's deflated appearance, so he immediately laughed happily in Xu Niannian's arms and secretly winked at Xu Xing.

Xu Xing rolled his eyes at her and said that you would be nice to see when he returns to the rental house in the evening.

As a result, Xu Niannian thought that Xu Xing was threatening her with his eyes, and immediately stared back: "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied? I've forgiven you for deceiving me so much before, what's wrong with using your vest number?"

"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Xing waved his hand in surrender, "As long as you like it. Anyway, after the game is released, don't say this is the vest number I used, otherwise I'm afraid that the game's performance will plummet, and then I will be extremely happy and sad."

"I'm not that stupid." Xu Niannian curled his lips.

"You should prepare well first. This is the first game that I am responsible for developing. The requirements are not high. As long as you can make back your money, just treat it as a practice." Xu Xing threw the planning plan in his hand on the table and said, "It's time for dinner.

, let’s have lunch first.”

"You look down on us?" Xu Niannian was a little dissatisfied with his attitude. He hugged Yan Chiju and encouraged him, "Jianwei, let's work hard. We will earn him tens of millions and beat him to death."

"Yeah." Yan Chijue was also full of motivation at this time. After all, it was the first time that Xu Xing gave her full responsibility for a development project, so he nodded vigorously and decided to cooperate well with Sister Niannian.

Strive to make an excellent dress-up mobile game.
