Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Yan Chiju was very embarrassed to be called the little rich woman. He kept his head down as he followed Xu Xing. He only occasionally raised his head secretly and looked at Xu Xing's tall back.

There is a height difference of more than 20 centimeters between the two of them, and because she is petite, Yan Chiju walks behind Xu Xing. People in front of her can hardly see her, and she is completely blocked by Xu Xing.

This gave Yanchi vinegar an inexplicable sense of security.

She seemed to prefer this feeling of being protected to walking beside Xu Xing.

When the two of them walked downstairs, Yao Yuanyuan was no longer at the front desk, and was replaced by another network administrator.

Yan Chijiu was slightly relieved after seeing this, otherwise he would have been teased by Yao Yuanyuan again.

After successfully walking out of the Internet cafe door, the two came to the barbecue stall next door.

The barbecue stall here is a business run by the chef in the hotel at night.

It is a restaurant during the day and a barbecue restaurant at night.

Many people around here come here to masturbate. For those who are tired from playing games in the Internet cafe next to them and are hungry at night, the barbecue restaurant is the best choice.

Xu Xing glanced at the long row of plastic tables and chairs placed on the street, and led Yan Chijuan to the store first. The two of them shared a basket and put the food they wanted to eat in. The basket was soon full.

Seeing that Xu Xing showed no intention of saving money for her, Yan Chijuan was actually very happy. After Xu Xing said enough, he obediently held the basket and handed it to the barbecue master.

Then Xu Xing opened the refrigerator and wanted to get a few bottles of drinks.

But Yan Chijuan stopped him, then took out a few bottles of cold beer and held them in his arms. After noticing Xu Xing's gaze, he raised his face and blinked, then lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Don't drink too much at night." Xu Xing looked at her and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter." Yan Chiju whispered, "The boss is here."

"Not all bosses are as upright as me." Xu Xing found a table in the corner, sat down with Yan Chijuan, took a can of beer and opened it.

"Is the boss going to fire me in the future?" Yan Chijuan blinked nervously and sat next to Xu Xing. He stepped on the horizontal bars of the plastic stool with his two small feet and bent his knees, making him look even more petite.

.

"Why should I fire you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Xing shook his head repeatedly, "Even if you go to college, if you don't mind, you can still continue to work part-time. I have no intention of just making one game."

Hearing this, Yan Chijuan's eyes brightened and the corners of his eyes curled up. He opened the beer, held it in his hand, took a sip and whispered, "Then I won't have another boss."

"Um?"

Yan Chijiu spoke in a very low voice, and the older guys playing skewers next to her were very noisy. Xu Xing didn't hear clearly and looked at her doubtfully.

"I mean." Yan Chijue opened his rosy mouth and spoke a little louder, "Boss, what other games do you want to play?"

"Oh, this." Xu Xing became excited as soon as he talked about this, and shared his current general plan with Yan Chijuan, "These days, the Internet has been occupied by the big guys. If you don't have your own source of funds, then

Basically, you can’t escape their pursuit.”

"So my current thinking is quite simple. Take care of the money issue first and then think about other things."

"The easiest thing to get into now is actually the newly developed mobile game market."

It's still 2012, and the epoch-making Pineapple Phone 5 has just been launched two years ago. Although the number of mobile phone owners is rising crazily every year, most game manufacturers don't pay special attention to this market.

The reason is actually very simple.

It's just a problem with the configuration of the phone.

At this moment, we are still in the transition stage between 3G and 4G, and the memory and network speed of mobile phones are not yet able to carry larger games.

Therefore, only puzzle mobile games that do not take up much memory, such as Sokoban and Snake, are more convenient to conquer this field.

So it can be seen that the early mobile game market was basically occupied by lightweight games.

At this stage, most mobile games have a buyout system, and the free in-app purchase system is still in the stage of exploration and trial and error.

This also leads to the fact that the mobile game market is currently far less profitable than the PC side.

The improvement of mobile phone configurations is also subject to investment in materials and research. This thing cannot be done in words, and requires real money investment to achieve returns.

At this time, people still cannot predict, or even imagine, that in the future, there will be an open-world memory monster like Genshin Impact that can be stuffed into a small mobile phone and run normally.

But Xu Xing knew.

Therefore, cash cows such as mobile games that can provide a steady stream of funds can naturally hold on to one after another.

If you have money, everything is easy to discuss; if you don't have money, everything is negotiable.

Especially in the mobile Internet era after 2010, basically no Internet company can escape the encirclement and suppression of those Internet giants in the PC era.

Life or death is entirely within one's control.

But hearing these words to a girl who has just finished the college entrance examination is really embarrassing.

However, although Yan Chijuan didn't understand some parts, and felt that Xu Xing might be a little whimsical, this did not prevent Yan Chijuan from silently appreciating Xu Xing's high-spirited appearance at this time.

Even if the two of them are just at a roadside barbecue restaurant, drinking beer and sitting on plastic benches, they look like they are just two ignorant kids who ran out to eat barbecue in the middle of the night.

"So what about you?" After Xu Xing finished talking about his short-term plans, he looked at Yan Chiju, who was holding his chin and watching him listen carefully, and asked, "What are your plans after going to college?"

"Study hard, find a good job, and live a good life." Yan Chijuan said quietly but firmly.

"When you say that, it seems that I am very ambitious." Xu Xing joked.

The barbecue chef next to him brought their barbecue to the table, so he picked up a mutton skewer and skewered it to the end.

Yan Chijuan blinked, picked up a mutton skewer, took a small bite, and said, "Then I'll prepare one more target now."

"uh-huh?"

"Make our game studio bigger and stronger and make a lot of money." Yan Chijie said with a serious look.

"I didn't expect that my little employees are quite enlightened." Xu Xing laughed when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal all the money earned by the studio?"

"It doesn't matter." Yan Chijue sipped mutton skewers and sipped beer, "I only need a monthly salary of three thousand yuan to live well, and the rest of the money will be given to the boss."

Xu Xing sounded a little stunned.

Looking at Yan Chiju's side face reflected in the moonlight and the few street lights on the street, Xu Xing felt for the first time that this silly girl was so childish that it was hard not to like her.

"Fortunately, I am your boss. If it were someone else, you would probably have been cheated and still had to count the money." Xu Xing held the kuaizi he used to eat roasted eggplant in his hand and couldn't help but reach out and poke this silly girl's cheek.

Face, I doubt whether she really exists, "No matter how you look at it, she looks stupid."

"No." Yan Chiju blushed shyly when he poked him, and quickly dodged away. While dodging back, he retorted in a low voice, "I know you won't harm me. If it were anyone else, I would definitely be very wary."

"That's true." Xu Xing nodded in agreement.

After all, when Yan Chijuan was still working as a model, she would ask Yao Yuanyuan to call every twenty minutes to confirm that the girl was safe.

It's just that Xu Xing helped her so much that she almost completely let down her guard.
