Chapter 363 Confidential Development
Before the mobile Internet fully emerged and fully replaced the TV niche, CCTV’s status was still very special in the hearts of the Chinese people.
At this time, CCTV’s communication power, influence and credibility are still very strong, especially the news broadcast at 7pm is of extremely special significance.
Being able to appear on the news broadcast is equivalent to an honor for ordinary people.
Don’t look at the campus network, which has been making rapid progress on the Internet. In just two years, it has unified the campus social field and become the most popular social networking site on the domestic Internet.
As a boss, Qin Shaoyan is just a small boss. There are hundreds of Internet company bosses like him in the country.
In terms of strength, it is not as good as Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, the three major portals, and in terms of influence, it is not as good as Penguin, Alibaba, and Baidu.
It is simply impossible to get on the news network just by relying on the strength and influence of the current campus network.
But Qin Shaoyan relied on his own operations to give the campus network a chance to show its face on the CCTV platform.
This achievement alone makes the company's employees admire him. He is indeed Mr. Qin.
In fact, this is not the first time that the campus network has appeared in the news of CCTV. CCTV reported on the last "Global International Marathon".
However, the report was mainly about the competition and did not mention the name of the campus network. The camera only showed the campus network's promotional banner and logo a few times.
At that time, Qin Shaoyan mainly wanted to take advantage of the situation to flatten the market of Dazhong.com, not to become famous, so the operation was mainly based on local promotion, targeting college student users.
This time, the "International College Student Summer Camp" and the "World College Student Forum Summit" are intended to take advantage of the situation to promote to the public, and target different target groups.
It was a complete surprise to be included in the news on CCTV.
After the CCTV News Network interview was broadcast, the campus network became an instant hit.
Coupled with the numerous reports in major newspapers, the reputation of the campus network has directly increased.
It was originally a famous social networking site on the Internet, but now its fame has broken through the limitations of the Internet and has become a household name.
In popular terms, it means leaving the circle.
Originally, ordinary people were not familiar with the Internet, and many people even found it far away from university.
If it were just a simple introduction to Campus Network, an Internet company, no one would be interested in taking a look at it and would just skip it.
But this promotion is different from the past. It accurately finds the common points that can attract the attention of ordinary people.
That is education.
In China, and even the entire East Asian cultural circle, education is taken very seriously.
Most parents "hope that their children will become dragons" and "hope that their daughters will become phoenixes" and wish that their children would reach the sky in one step.
Enroll children in various cram schools, interest classes, and advanced classes. The phenomenon of "chicken babies" is not something that only happened more than ten years ago, but has existed since ancient times.
It’s just that in the past, I was limited by my family’s income level and lacked financial resources, so I didn’t have so many conditions.
At this "World University Student Forum Summit", the wonderful performance of Chinese university student representatives shocked the world.
In everyone's opinion, a group of college students went to the United Nations and stole the show in competitions with students from various countries.
They have also won various awards. These students are not exaggerated to call them best among men, they are simply geniuses among geniuses.
These college students are not selected from key universities such as "985" and "211" in northern Qing Dynasty. Most of them are randomly selected from ordinary universities and then screened out.
The thirty students in the delegation are all ordinary people from ordinary families, and several of them are poor students from rural areas.
This "International College Summer Camp" event is simply a dream trip for them. Not only did they study abroad, they also received honors from the United Nations.
As soon as the delegation returned to China, they received commendations in the General Assembly Hall and were received by the leaders.
Not only did they receive national scholarships, but the school also gave them various awards, such as "joining the party", "recruitment for graduate school", "outstanding college students", various honors and bonuses.
In the hometown of the winning student, local leaders beat gongs and drums to express their condolences, and also gave a scholarship on behalf of the local government.
The parents of the students on the delegation were so excited that their eyes filled with tears, and they were a little overwhelmed by the good luck that seemed to fall from the sky.
The envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding neighbors and relatives made the parents of the students feel happy.
When everyone learned that the qualifications for the "International College Summer Camp" were obtained through an online lottery on campus, everyone went crazy and immediately went to find a computer to register their children's accounts online.
If you are lucky and your child gets the qualification, it will be like winning the lottery.
Not only parents of college students urge their children to register accounts, but even parents of primary school students are busy registering their children online on campus.
The campus network gained nearly four million new users in one week, and the server was almost paralyzed due to crowding. CTO Wang Jun was so frightened that he did not dare to go home for several days, and stayed in the office every day to stare at Check the server status.
Looking at the skyrocketing number of new users, Qin Shaoyan was a little bit dumbfounded.
For others, the increase in users is a good thing, but for Qin Shaoyan, these new users are just the icing on the cake.
……
Probably knowing that Qin Shaoyan had returned, Xiong Xiaoge immediately came to congratulate him with a newspaper.
"Mr. Qin is so prosperous now that he can even join the News Network." Xiong Xiaoge teased with a smile, "You really made a profit this time, congratulations."
" It's just five to six million new users, nothing to congratulate." Qin Shaoyan acted very calmly, as if it was someone else who was on the news network.
"Listen to what you said. If other Internet bosses hear this, they will definitely say you are hypocritical." Xiong Xiaoge marveled, "It's just five or six million new additions."
"These new users are relatively weak. Those who can remain active can have three achievements." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "To me, these users cannot create value for the time being, and they are destined to be users of the campus network in the future. Now it’s just a matter of early registration.”
"They don't have the ability to pay, and they are a low-net-worth group for Campus Network."
Xiong Xiaoge didn't care at all, "It will be listed next year. The more users of Campus Network, the better. Don't worry about it first. Regardless of whether they have the ability to pay, let’s gather the data and popularity first.”
“According to what you said, if we build the ecosystem, we will naturally find ways to pay later.”
What everyone looks at now is data. Don’t worry about whether your users can spend money or how much money they can spend. First, the goal is to attract as many users as possible.
With more users, there will naturally be ways to make money.
For example, Penguin has 100 million users and is anxious when it is not making money, but venture capital investors are not anxious at all.
If the campus network had 100 million users, Xiong Xiaoge wouldn't even ask how Qin Shaoyan planned to make money.
But, the campus network currently has less than 20 million users, so Xiong Xiaoge has to ask carefully.
"Well, I think so too." Qin Shaoyan said with great agreement, "As long as the community ecology is established, you can slowly find ways to make money, and you can always find it."
"The money scene of the campus network is in the future, not now. The next three to five years will be when the campus network begins to exert its strength. At that time, Mr. Xiong will be able to see the true potential of the campus network."
Good guy, this time the cake has been drawn to three to five years later. Is this guy simply unable to fulfill his previous promise and is starting to think about him?
Xiong Xiaoge looked at Qin Shaoyan suspiciously, "Don't tell me what will happen in three to five years. I just want to know about the IPO next year."
"Didn't you say you can make the campus network make money? Tell me how to make money, let me open my eyes."
Qin Shaoyan sighed, as if he was struggling in his heart, and directly Standing up, "Okay, I'll take you to see my secret weapon."
This time Qin Shaoyan didn't even bring his secretary or driver, so he called Zhang Minyi and drove away with Xiong Xiaoge.
The car became more and more remote, and Xiong Xiaoge felt a little guilty.
Secretly thinking about the possibility of Qin Shaoyan taking risks.
"Mr. Qin, where are we going?" Xiong Xiaoge asked tentatively.
“Go to Changping.” Qin Shaoyan explained, “I rented a few houses there and moved there for the game company.”
"Why did you move there?" Xiong Xiaoge was shocked, "In such a remote place, how do employees go to and from get off work? It's not easy for you to recruit people?"
"We won't be recruiting new people for the time being." Qin Shaoyan replied, "As for the issue of employees commuting to and from get off work, they don't need to consider commuting for the time being."
"From now on, the project has entered the closed research and development stage, and in order to keep it confidential, they must be managed centrally. "
"Only during the weekends, we will send them home by shuttle bus. They usually live in the dormitories provided by the company."
"Good guys" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "You guys. What are you studying, something mysterious?”
"A cross-generational online game." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "This is related to the IPO of the campus network, so we must be cautious."
"Now everyone involved in the project has signed a confidentiality agreement , mobile phones and other communication tools are usually handed over, and the company temporarily cuts off the external network.”
The car drove all the way into the quiet compound and stopped. The security guard closed the door tightly and locked it. .
After Xiong Xiaoge got off the car, he looked around and found that although this place was remote, the environment was good.
The yard is very clean, with flat cement floors, and some small pavilions, fitness equipment, swings, slides, etc. have been built. Lush green plants fill the surrounding space.
"This used to be a kindergarten, but I moved here later, so I rented it." Qin Shaoyan led Xiong Xiaoge up the spiral staircase made of welded iron frames and walked all the way to the second floor.
As soon as you enter the spacious and bright hall, computers are neatly listed on the table. Each employee has a large workstation, and various things are placed near the workstation.
Some workstations have four monitors on their desks, some have various hand models, some have green plants, and some have various snacks directly on them.
At this time, employees wearing plaid shirts were busy working nervously, and all they could hear was the crackling sound of keyboard tapping.
Going around the hall, there is another more spacious hall with nearly fifty people here.
Compared with the programmers, the art team is dressed more casually. Many people even wear pajamas and slippers, slumped in chairs, wearing headphones, and scribbling with writing pads and pens in their hands.
Constantly press Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+S, and concentrate on creating and modifying your works.
Qin Shaoyan approached a member of the 3D model team and asked, "Where is Teacher Hong?"
The other party took off his headphones and was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the conference room and said, "I'm planning a quarrel with Shabi inside. "
"Okay, you go about your business." Qin Shaoyan led Xiong Xiaoge directly to the conference room.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Teacher Hong's loud voice yelling, "Are you kidding me and me? You said you wanted thirty, and then you said fifty. Can you be a little more accurate?"
"You guys are dancing all day long, always saying that you are awesome. You are so awesome. Please explain your needs clearly, and you are just bragging about it all day long."
"Look at how awesome you are. Damn it, tell me, what does it mean to look like jade but not jade?”
“Translate, what does it mean to look like jade but not jade?”
The planners present were speechless as they were sprayed. They sat there silently and allowed Teacher Hong to vent.
"I'm warning you, if you do this again, you won't be able to do this job!" Teacher Hong slammed the table, "The art work schedule is already tight. I put forward a lot of requirements in advance, and then blindly asked for them to jump in the queue. I Even if there are three hundred people, they can't fulfill your request."
The person in charge of planning, Liu Kun, stood up and comforted Teacher Hong, "Let's calm down first, Teacher Hong. I will take care of them when I get back. Let's talk about the present moment first. How to solve the problem? "
"How to solve it? It can't be solved!" Teacher Hong spread his hands, "I have a full schedule, and I can't think about it. Once it comes out, it comes out."
A planner stammered: "But, but, we have decided to complete this event before the end of the month."
Liu Kun sighed. The tone was, "How about pushing it to next month first."
Qin Shaoyan laughed and said, "Forget about the next month, please stop everything you are doing and I will sort it out for you."
Teacher Hong was overjoyed when he saw Qin Shaoyan come in and jumped up from his chair. , eyes filled with excitement, "Looking for the stars and the moon, finally Mr. Qin is here."
"Mr. Qin, you don't know how they planned to torture us, they are not human." Hong The teacher said that tears were about to come down.
"Ahem." Qin Shaoyan interrupted Teacher Hong's complaint with a cough, "I'll talk about this later. Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Xiong Xiaoge from IDG, our investor."
“This is Mr. Hong Feihong, the company’s art director. He was responsible for the entire process of “Plants vs. Zombies” and won the Golden Keyboard’s Best Art Design Award.”
"Hello." Xiong Xiaoge shook hands with Hong Fei.
"This is Liu Kun." Qin Shaoyan pulled Liu Kun over again, "The ace stand-alone game producer has also won international awards."
"Okay." Xiong Xiaoge was very happy Satisfied, "President Qin has hidden dragons and crouching tigers under his command."
"There is also a program manager, Fan Xiaoqian, Teacher Fan." Qin Shaoyan glanced at the rock artist and did not see the rock artist, "He can't even play "Half-Life" A genius programmer that even producer G has praised."
"Where is Teacher Fan?"
"He worked overtime last night and is probably still sleeping." Hong Fei said, "How about I call him."
"No need." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Mr. Hong, go and do it." The latest version of our project is out, let Mr. Xiong appreciate it."
"Okay." Teacher Hong and Liu Kun immediately greeted the others, "Hurry up and package the version. Make sure the server is stable."
"It's okay to have some bugs, as long as the game can run." Qin Shaoyan added, "It's normal to have bugs in the development stage."
It's normal to have bugs, and the server is considered stable if it doesn't crash. Version.
After struggling for nearly half an hour, they came up with an online game that seemed to be very complete.
As soon as the beautiful picture of the login interface appeared, Xiong Xiaoge's eyes lit up.
Hey, it looks like there is something.
