Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 242 Two-dimensional circle? lsp circle!

After sleeping for a few more hours in the morning, Xu Xing was no longer sleepy and simply got out of bed, changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

There was no one else at home, only Xu Niannian put on an apron and was busy in the kitchen.

Both Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian were busy with work and did not eat at home at noon. As the Chinese New Year approached, more and more people were buying clothes.

Not only online e-commerce stores, but also stores that usually do less business, as the new year is approaching, the number of customers has increased several times every day.

So although Xu Xing's son has returned home, it is still a little difficult to eat the food cooked by his parents.

"Want to help?" Xu Xing went to the bathroom to wash his face and felt much more awake. Then he walked to the kitchen door, leaned against the door frame and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Fried eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried pork." Xu Niannian turned around and tilted his head and asked, "Are these two dishes enough?"

"That's enough, let me help you."

"Then put this on."

Xu Niannian took off another apron from the wall, put it on for Xu Xing, then asked him to turn around and help him tie the knot at the back of the apron.

Feeling his sister's warm and slender hands, Xu Xing pursed his lips. After being put on an apron, his expression returned to normal. He walked to the kitchen counter and asked, "What should I do?"

"I'll prepare the food and you'll cook."

It just so happened that what Xu Niannian was most afraid of was the water and oil splashed when cooking, so Xu Xing was asked to act as a shield.

Two people are cooking together in the kitchen. If you look at it from an outsider's perspective, this scene is indeed very warm.

"Hey, Xu Xing."

After preparing the ingredients for the stir-fried pork and putting them on the plate, Xu Niannian nudged Xu Xing next to him with his butt and said.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think it will be like if you find a girlfriend in the future?"

"How does it feel?" Xu Xing blinked, thinking that it wouldn't be necessary in the future, he has it now, "I probably want to hold her all the time, even if I don't do anything else, it will feel right to hold her all the time.

"

"Really?"

"Why do you suddenly ask such a thing?"

"I'm curious." Xu Niannian pulled back the broken hair around her ears. She looked very beautiful from the side. There was nothing unusual about it. Everything looked like a natural brother-sister conversation. "Then tell me, if I find someone

What would it be like to have a boyfriend?"

"I suggest you ask Senior Sister Yu about this question."

"I didn't ask you until she wasn't here."

"I don't need to find a boyfriend."

"Then you analyze it from the perspective of your boyfriend?"

"How do I know?" Xu Xing was speechless, "You should just fantasize about it yourself."

With that said, Xu Xing had already taken the ingredients for the stir-fried pork and started to stir-fry.

Xu Niannian looked at the ingredients being stir-fried in the pot, smelling the scent that could no longer be concealed. He reached out and took out the tomatoes soaked in hot water, carefully peeled off the skin, then chopped them into pieces and prepared them.

After she beat a few eggs into the bowl and stirred them evenly, the stir-fried pork next to it had been successfully taken out of the pot. Xu Xing put it on a plate and put it aside.

After Xu Niannian finished preparing the dishes, he stood aside with nothing to do. He could only watch Xu Xing take a bowl of egg liquid, fry the eggs first, take them out and set aside, then stir-fry the chopped tomato pieces evenly, slowly

Cook them until soft.

Xu Xing had nothing to do while cooking. The two of them watched the tomatoes in the pot slowly softening. Xu Niannian glanced at Xu Xing's hand, secretly stretched out her hand and touched the back of his hand.

The next second, before Xu Xing could react, Xu Niannian held his hand tightly.

Xu Xing: "...?"

"Ahem." Xu Niannian cleared his throat, covering up his nervousness at the moment, and pretended to explain, "I have nothing to do. Let me experience what it feels like to hold hands with my boyfriend."

"...How can you still experience this kind of thing like this? I'm not your boyfriend."

"Then you just pretend. You can raise soldiers for a day and use them for a while. What's wrong with you, a younger brother, satisfying your sister's request?" Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him, but he only held Xu Xing's hand for a few seconds.

He relaxed and fanned his cheeks while saying, "I don't feel anything at all. Where did that electric shock feeling that others mentioned come from?"

"You have read too many novels, right?"

Xu Xing regained control of the spatula and stir-fried the tomatoes in the pot a few times.

What he didn't know was that at this time, Xu Niannian only felt that her palms and arms were numb and she had no strength. The excessive tension made her heart beat violently, and she could almost hear her heart beating like a drum.

If Xu Niannian could boldly test and attack when they were in bed at night because the lights were turned off and they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces, now they stay together in broad daylight and just hold hands,

It almost exhausted Xu Niannian's courage.

"Didn't you feel anything just now?" Xu Niannian calmed down and watched Xu Xing pour the scrambled eggs into the pot and stir-fry them with tomatoes. He couldn't help but ask, "Such a beautiful woman is holding your hand.

Hands, don’t you give me any reaction?”

"It's not like I've never held him before, so there's nothing strange about it."

The two have lived together since childhood. When Xu Xing was a child, he loved running behind Nian Nian's sister. Holding hands was a common occurrence.

"Hey, it's boring." Xu Niannian pouted and walked out with a plate of stir-fried pork. When he got behind Xu Xing, he didn't forget to kick him and walked out of the kitchen angrily.

When Xu Xing saw her walking out of the kitchen, he looked back at Xu Niannian's back, then lowered his gaze, stir-fried the tomato scrambled eggs evenly, sprinkled with chopped green onion, took it out of the pan and put it away.

Lunch was very simple. Two dishes were brought to the table. Xu Xingsheng handed the rice to Xu Niannian. The two sat opposite each other and it took more than ten minutes to clean up the food.

After washing the dishes, the two of them went downstairs together, Xu Xing got into Xu Niannian's car, and headed to the company for work.

"What time will you leave in the evening? Will you be together then?"

Xu Niannian asked on the way to the company.

"No, you can go back by yourself when the time comes." Xu Xing said, "The director of my dad's factory wants to treat our family to a meal tonight. I will go directly to the restaurant after get off work."

"Oh, that's it." Xu Niannian nodded, feeling a little disappointed, but she immediately said, "Then I'll take you to the hotel."

"...Alright."

…

In a clothing factory.

Xu Jian was inspecting the inside of the factory. After walking around, he returned to the office. He was about to read the new assembly line production plan again when he bumped into Yan Hongzhi who came to see him.

"Director Yan, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing big. We just have dinner together in the evening. Don't forget it." Yan Hongzhi said with a smile, "Also, I'm thinking that if we cooperate, it's rare for us to have a meal. Why don't we invite Mr. Pei to come too? It's just right.

Let’s talk in detail about the follow-up plans.”

"Okay." Xu Jian nodded, "Mr. Pei is the boss of our family. I wanted to invite Mr. Pei to dinner before, but I was afraid that she would be too busy, so I never did."

"I'm not sure about this either. I have to ask first." Yan Hongzhi said, "Why don't I say hello to you first?"

After the two of them finished chatting and Xu Jian entered the office, Yan Hongzhi turned around and took out his cell phone, called Pei Qinglan and explained his purpose of coming.

"Eating? I may not have time..." Pei Qinglan said, and then asked, "Is it the factory management who is eating or something?"

"If it's not the management, it's a private dinner. I've invited Xu Jian and his family, and I'll also bring my wife and children with me. We can treat it as friends."

"Oh? Xu Jian's family?" Pei Qinglan on the other end of the phone raised her eyebrows and became interested, "Will Xu Jian also bring his wife and children with him?"

"Yes." Yan Hongzhi nodded, "Mr. Pei, don't you also have a daughter? It would be nice to bring her together to get to know each other. The child also has a companion."

"Well..." Pei Qinglan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then please send me the hotel address and see you at dinner."

"Okay."

…

Shenglan International Investment Management Company.

After Pei Qinglan hung up the phone, she opened WeChat and sent a message to her daughter.

[Pei Qinglan]: Are you free for dinner?

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Oh? The sun is coming out in the west?

[Pei Qinglan]: Don’t be so talkative.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: What do you want to do? Invite me to dinner?

[Pei Qinglan]: It’s not me who invited you, someone else invited you.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Isn’t this just another social gathering? I’m not going.

[Pei Qinglan]: Your boss will also go.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Then let me think about it.

Seeing that Xu Xing was also going, Yao Yuanyuan's eyes wandered around and he found Yan Chijuan's WeChat message.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Juju, are you going to have dinner with Xu Xing tonight?

[Yan Chi Jian]: No, he has an appointment in the evening. It seems that someone invited his family to have dinner.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Oh~ That’s it.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Then you can accompany me to dinner tonight, I have prepared a surprise for you (funny)

[Yanchi vinegar]: What’s the surprise?

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Can it still be called a surprise if I say it? Just follow me obediently.

【Yanchi vinegar】:Okay.

After getting rid of Yan Chi's jealousy, Yao Yuanyuan nodded with satisfaction and sent another message to his mother.

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Send me the address of the hotel, and I will go there with you to have dinner with you.

When Pei Qinglan saw that Yan Chijuan was coming, she didn't refuse after thinking about it. It was just a private dinner anyway. She had liked Yan Chijuan before. If Xu Xing hadn't cut her off halfway, Yan Chijuan would have been there.

He was trained by her.

[Pei Qinglan]: When you come here, pay attention to safety on the road.

…

Xu Xing didn't know anything at the moment. After arriving at the company in the afternoon, he threw himself into the heavy work.

First, news came from Bizhan, saying that Chen Rui had led the team back from the Sakura Country. It was said that they had gained a lot, and they had negotiated the mainland rights for more than a dozen old classics and five new ones for March next year.

However, although the results are rich, it also costs a lot, and this thing is just a waste of money at present. If you invest tens of millions, you will probably not see any splash.

Only now that Qunxing Company has a lot of money can it support Chen Rui to spend money like this.

But as long as Bizhan's reputation rises and WeChat's user traffic is introduced, Bizhan will definitely become independent for financing later. Xu Xing cannot always spend his own money to support such a money-losing thing.

They say the end of the Internet is selling goods.

No matter what type of Internet company it is, in the final analysis, it still has to make money by selling advertising, and it always has to figure out how to maximize the benefits of advertising.

And what is advertising? It’s not just about selling products.

After the Internet has developed for so many years, there will probably only be a few businesses that can actually make money.

The first is advertising, the second is the two-way harvesting of customers and merchants by monopoly platforms, the third is financial payments, and the fourth is gaming business.

If an Internet company wants to make a profit, it basically relies on these items.

Any other Internet company that wants to rely on users' spontaneous payments will basically not be able to survive.

The most typical one is the video website. If it only relies on membership fees, it will simply lose money.

The reason why these video websites can survive is simply because they are a link in the ecological chain and can snatch user traffic.

Just like Bizhan, few people in the future expect it to be truly profitable, but it is very profitable, and the core lies in the other values ​​it can provide.

However, what surprised Xu Xing most during Chen Rui's trip to Sakura Country was that Chen Rui actually grabbed the domestic distribution rights of "Millions of King Arthur" from Shanda.

As the first two-dimensional mobile game hit in China, the importance of "Millions of King Arthur" is self-evident.

Xu Xing originally just wanted to give it a try and encouraged Chen Rui to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, the negotiation was actually concluded.

On the one hand, Bizhan, as the largest two-dimensional website in China, has gathered the vast majority of two-dimensional players, and there are plenty of potential users.

On the other hand, it is naturally because Bizhan is backed by Qunxing Company and has the rising traffic pool of WeChat at its disposal, which can be regarded as a trump card.

It's just that Shan Sheng's skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Xu Xing really didn't expect to succeed, so it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Once "King Arthur Millions" can fall into the hands of Bizhu, although it will be a bit difficult to completely cover the cost of Bizhu's purchase of the rights to the drama, at least it will not continue to suck the blood of Qunxing Company.

[Xu Xing]: You have to follow up on the national server version of "Millions of King Arthurs". You will have to work hard to celebrate the New Year this year.

[Chen Rui]: It's okay, it should be.

[Chen Rui]: But Mr. Xu, are you really optimistic about this game?

[Chen Rui]: Although this game is indeed very popular in Sakura Country, the domestic two-dimensional circle is still a very niche circle after all, and the actual effect may not be particularly good...

[Xu Xing]: The smaller the circle, the greater the potential after training. Don’t worry.

Seeing the message from Chen Rui, Xu Xing couldn't help but smile.

Although pure 2D is still a relatively niche circle in China, LSP is a very large circle.

How many cloud two-dimensional users will there be in the future? They have never seen the anime or played the game, but the fanarts, cosplays and even some indescribable short films of the beautiful characters in them are really treasures.

To put it bluntly, if you remove the characters that are so easy to read, how many people will still care about the Sakura Country elements in the plot?

They are both LSPs, so there is no need to be secretive.

[Friendshippy]: "I Only Have Some Girlfriends" - After figuring out the situation of his time travel and rebirth, Chu Liansheng made a decision that went against his ancestors and had more love.
