Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 278: Have you eaten?

Chapter 278 Have you eaten? The two giants of takeaway from the north and the south

When talking about the cooperation between Min Da and Qunxing Company, Wu Zhiguo obviously became energetic.

He actually had this idea as early as last year after the rapid rise of Qunxing Company.

But Xu Xing's true identity was known to only one teacher in the school, and Xu Xing also hoped that he could help keep it secret.

Therefore, Wu Zhiguo temporarily gave up this idea.

After all, at that time, Xu Xingming's official identity at school was just the founder of Eat Me Takeaway.

Compared with Qunxing, which has huge cash flow and a powerful weapon like WeChat, it is obviously not enough to start any cooperation with Min Da just by taking out food.

At that time, Chime.com was still expanding into the university market. At most, it was considered a start-up Internet company with great potential. It was already very good to be able to take over a small number of graduates’ employment.

But now, since Xu Xing took the initiative to talk about this matter, his meaning has become obvious.

"Are you planning to identify yourself to the school?"

"Well, that's right." Xu Xing nodded.

After I had a showdown with my family about the current situation, and after I had slowly adapted to the stimulation brought by this increase in wealth, the exposure of my identity became less important.

Just let nature take its course.

Since the school will involve a deeper cooperative relationship, Xu Xing does not intend to continue to hide it.

With the identity of being a current Min University student, the negotiation process for cooperation will be easier.

After all, they are all members of the family, so Min Da would be very surprised to see such a scary weirdo appear in his school.

"Let me briefly mention something to you first, so that you can have an explanation when communicating with the school leaders." Xu Xing continued, "There are probably several directions for cooperation, one is information security, the second is big data, and the third is

It’s the field of artificial intelligence.”

"These are the general directions. Specific subdivisions can be discussed in detail later."

"As for coming to Qunxing Company for an internship, we will have dedicated people here to contact the school and we will discuss the specific methods."

"Well, okay." Wu Zhiguo quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down, getting a preliminary impression of what Xu Xing said.

The two chatted for a while, and soon there were footsteps and knocks outside the door.

"Please come in!" Wu Zhiguo shouted toward the door.

Lu Pengyou took the lead. After hearing the counselor's voice, he opened the door of the conference room and dragged Zhang Nong's suitcase in.

Zhang Nong and Jian Jiashu followed behind.

After seeing Wu Zhiguo, Zhang Nong immediately said hello: "Hello, Teacher Wu, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"What's the trouble?" Wu Zhiguo shook his head with a smile and waved to him, "Come on, come on, take a look at the information and application form related to suspension of school. Your mother is not here. If there is no parent signature, I have to follow.

You have a trip."

"Well, it's really troublesome." Zhang Nong was still a little embarrassed. After sitting next to Wu Zhiguo, he took a cursory look at the information and began to fill in his own information.

Then throughout the morning, Zhang Nong followed Wu Zhiguo through the process, going to various relevant offices to get stamps and applications.

Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu stopped accompanying Zhang Nong and helped Zhang Nong take the suitcase back to the dormitory and put it away first.

As for Xu Xing, after giving Zhang Nong a few words, he left first and went to work in the company.

…

Ocean International Building.

After Xu Xing returned to the company, he walked into the company door, passed by the art director's office, and took a look at Xu Niannian inside.

He paused, thought for two seconds, and then walked to the door. While looking at Xu Niannian, who was working seriously on the computer, he knocked on the door twice with his knuckles.

"What's the matter?" Xu Niannian's desk was facing the door. If he didn't turn his head, he wouldn't be able to see the person coming in.

She thought it was her artist who was looking for her.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Xing's voice reached Xu Niannian's ears. Xu Niannian, who was sitting in the office chair, paused for a moment while holding the mouse.

"Mr. Xu, is there something wrong?" Xu Niannian did not tease Xu Xing like he did in the past. Instead, he looked businesslike.

This made Xu Xing a little helpless.

Ever since he came back from the countryside after celebrating the New Year, Xu has looked like this every year.

When I was in the company, I no longer made jokes with him. I just regarded myself as the art director and worked honestly.

When Xu Niannian returned to renting an apartment after work, he would return to some of his former liveliness, but most of the time he would shut himself into the bedroom after taking a shower.

Even compared to Xu Xing, the interaction between Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan has not changed much.

Looking at his sister in the office, Xu Xing opened his mouth and finally said: "How is the progress of the project recently?"

"The mobile games that have been launched, including Fruit Assassin, currently do not have a large workload."

Xu Niannian reported in a serious tone, "Several project teams are preparing for in-game activities for April Fool's Day on April 1st. We can follow up after the planners give us the requirements."

"In addition, among several new projects, the art resources of "Myth Comes to the World" have been following the project, because Youjia is responsible for the main art work."

"Several other small projects have been handed over to several other experienced seniors to take the lead, so as to gain experience for newcomers who will join the company in the next year."

In addition to "Myth Comes to the World", Tianshu Games has several other game projects, all planned by Xu Xing.

It's just that these new projects are relatively simple. Gong Ao has already made a lot of progress in "The Myth Comes to the World", so he handed over these small projects to his subordinates.

Including "Happy Match", "Snake Fight", "Crocodile Loves Bathing", "Cut the Rope", "Black and White Piano Keys", etc., they are all mobile games similar to Fruit Assassin and relatively small in size.

And it’s not difficult to make either.

Small games such as "Happy Fun" and "Snake Fight" have been very mature game models a long time ago.

It's just that at this stage, many teams that make such small games simply move such games from computers to mobile phones, and the entertainment model is relatively mediocre.

Xu Xing combined some fresh gameplay from later generations, put it into the planning of these two small games, and cooperated with WeChat’s channel efforts. It is very easy to capture this market.

For other puzzle mobile games including "Cut the Rope" and "Little Crocodile Loves Bathing", Xu Xing only provided an inspiration, and by the way, relied on his memory to barely provide templates for a few levels.

As for the design of specific levels, we still have to rely on the employees’ spontaneous design plans.

The current performance of Tianshu Games is very impressive, and it can provide very healthy cash flow to Qunxing Company every month.

But after all, Tianshu Games is a mobile game company and has no experience in developing large-scale games.

It is a good way to use this kind of mini-games to train new people.

Relatively large projects have to be handed over to mature planners like Gong Ao who were hired from other companies.

"In addition, Mr. Xu, the new game plan that you gave to Gong Ao before, because there is the "Myth of the World" project to be done, so currently only some concept drawings are given." Xu Niannian continued, "Including the island.

The general scene and the models of houses and trees are still in the early stages.”

"Well, I understand." Xu Xing nodded, seeing that she still looked businesslike, so he didn't disturb her work anymore, "Then you can continue your work."

As for the island Xu Niannian is talking about, it is of course the famous battle royale gun battle game in the previous life - "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

This battle royale-type shooting terminal game was released in 2017 and quickly swept the global market, becoming the most popular shooting terminal game at that time.

Its setting is very simple, that is, on an 8×8 km island map, various buildings store firearms, accessories, body armor, helmets, backpacks, grenades and other equipment and materials.

100 players will take a plane, fly over the island, choose where to parachute, enter the building to search for equipment, and arm themselves.

Then survive to the last person in the ever-shrinking encirclement.

Because the player who survives to the end will be congratulated with "Good luck, eat chicken tonight", this game was later affectionately called chicken.

Xu Xing had mentioned this matter to Gong Ao a long time ago, but at that time Xu Xing still preferred to focus on the field of mobile games and did not want to stir up trouble with PC games.

After all, Qunxing, which owns WeChat, can maximize the potential of channels in the field of mobile games.

The strength in client games is really weak.

So Xu Xing just mentioned it to Gong Ao before, asking him to take some time to pay attention to battle royale games and learn about them in advance.

But after Cheng Shaojie talked to him about Douyu Live Broadcasting, Xu Xing considered the big killer weapon of LOL in Tencent's hands, thought for a long time, and put "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in the plan in advance.

It's just that compared to "The Myth", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has a lower priority, so there is no rush.

After all, the live broadcast platform's live broadcast content of LOL is itself a kind of promotion of LOL, which can be regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship.

If Tencent had not blocked copyright because Qunxing Company was behind Douyu’s live broadcast, Xu Xing was actually in no rush to move “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” out.

After all, every game has its own background and environment for development.

The previous version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was able to sweep the world after its launch in 2017, but this does not mean that in the current time period of 2013, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can still achieve the same results as the previous version.

However, purely from the quality of the game itself, "PUBG" is indeed a game that can compete with LOL.

This does not mean the influence of game events, but simply the effect of live broadcast.

This can be seen from the chicken eating live broadcast in the previous life.

If it weren't for the official negative response to cheats in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, as well as the weakness of the competition, including some domestic environmental reasons, there would have been a chance to try out LOL.

Unfortunately, judging from the subsequent situation, LOL is still better.

But this does not conflict with Xu Xing's purpose.

He just needs a popular PC game that can benchmark LOL in the short term and ensure the program effects of the live broadcast platform content.

Otherwise, if Tengxin really wants to go against Qunxing, Xu Xing really has nothing to do.

Although the live streaming platform burns a lot of money and makes very little money, its influence is real.

If possible, Xu Xing naturally doesn't want to let go of this piece of meat.

…

afternoon.

Zhang Nong, who had already finished his suspension of study, came to Ocean International Building.

Zhang Nong, who had been here several times before, found Xu Xing's office with ease. Before he had time to find a rental house, he couldn't wait to come to Xu Xing to receive instructions.

"Here?" Xu Xing looked up and saw Zhang Nong, waved to him, stood up and sat on the sofa, "Sit down."

Zhang Nong nodded and sat down, then said: "You said before that we will take new actions after the new year. What are you going to do specifically?"

"Don't worry, you still have to wait for someone." Xu Xing took the tea made with Yan Chi's vinegar, took a sip, and then said, "Tell me first, what are your plans for the future?"

"There are no arrangements." Zhang Nong shook his head, "I just need to find a house to rent first, and then I can start working."

"Then let me ask for you. I live in Brilliance Homes now, and you can go there too." Xu Xing said, pointing to the ceiling above, "Then we can bring the EatMe takeaway team here.

Come on, I just asked someone to rent the place on the 15th floor, which will be your office space."

"Yeah, okay." Zhang Nong nodded, his expression tense.

"Relax, we are all our own people." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "I will ask Dai Zhuoshan's team responsible for the EatMe platform to move up with you, so that it will be easier for you to communicate."

Prior to this, Zhang Nong's take-out team was originally organized by a group of college students.

Later, as the team grew larger, many employees were recruited, and they were all placed in an office building not far from Min University, or in some facades within each university, applied by on-campus students in the team.

For example, Min Da has a base for E-Me takeout, which provides riders with the rental and charging of electric vehicles, as well as other logistics and management services.

This is all approved by the school.

The approval process here at Min University is free. Some other schools are free, and some require money. They all have many employees and part-time college students.

Now that there is a new base, some employees who need to work together can be brought to the Ocean International Building to facilitate unified management.

The team that was previously responsible for the establishment, follow-up maintenance and update services of the E-Me online ordering platform was a team led by Dai Zhuoshan.

However, after the takeaway was on the right track, Dai Zhuoshan handed over the business to his subordinates, while he continued to devote himself to the development and optimization of big data push of hot news and user portraits.

Boom, boom, boom.

While Xu Xing and Zhang Nong were chatting, the office door was knocked again.

Yan Chiju opened the door, and Li Zhibin's head poked in from the outside.

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you." Xu Xing waved to him.

Li Zhibin walked in quickly and sat down on the single sofa next to Zhang Nong.

At this point, the two giants from the north and south of EatMe Takeout, and the two people in charge of the Shanghai and Kyoto businesses, finally met.

[Friendly py]: "My death escape process is always interrupted"——

#I have unlimited life and will become stronger as long as I commit suicide during a duel.

——

The captain looked at the system with a sad expression on his face: "Didn't you tell me this? May I ask why I am still practicing qi now?"

System: "Yes, but you didn't die."

Lin Chief: "?"

System: "Half of him died, but he was revived again."

…

The senior sister looked silently at the junior brother who was always thinking about killing himself with a sword:

"Why do junior brothers always think about committing suicide?"

"Because I want to cut myself to boost morale before going to war."
