Chapter 80 Legend 1 is officially in operation

Starting up in 2000 was not like the few seconds it would later. Just the program self-check would take half a minute or even more than a minute.

Wang Haitao looked around boredly and found that several machines around him were playing an unfamiliar game.

"Legend?"

At this time his phone turned on.

Yes, Penguin was still in the OICQ era at this time. It would not be officially renamed until three months later, in November 2000, when the classic QQ2000 was launched.

I checked that it was still early and opened the website directory out of habit.

Since having this website, Wang Haitao has habitually used it as his first choice for surfing the Internet.

And the new version of ‘Website Directory’ has launched a favorites function, which allows you to directly include some commonly used websites, which is very considerate.

I was about to go to Sina to browse the news, but the "Legend" public beta advertisement flashing at the top of the page came into view.

Thinking of the previous recommendation from the Internet cafe owner and the desktops of the computers around me, I subconsciously clicked on it.

First is the registration list.

As a hardcore game fan, he was no stranger to this. After registering skillfully, another list appeared.

Tell him the buttons corresponding to different operations and some basic game rules.

After a quick glance, I found that the keys are basically similar to the keys of popular games now, with only a few differences, so it is easy to remember.

After jumping over, officially enter the game.

That is, Novice Village.

Now the gameplay of killing monsters and upgrading is not as bad as it was later.

On the contrary, it is extremely novel and fits the temperament of young people very well, which is what is often said in novels as ‘full of excitement’.

So Wang Haitao was quickly attracted.

Afterwards, he even forgot about CS, and instead gave "Legend: Overlord War" to Amway to his friends.

On the day "Legend: Overlord War" was officially launched, countless people like Wang Haitao were attracted into the game by Hongmeng Company's advertisements.

In just three days, the number of registered people exceeded one million, and the number of people online at the same time exceeded 100,000.

Charging will officially begin in three days.

At the same time, the number of people online instantly dropped by more than half, and the number of people willing to spend money to play was obviously a minority.

But with the growth in registration numbers and word-of-mouth publicity, it began to slowly pick up again.

"Mr. Xu, after one week of official operation, our number of registered people has reached 3.5 million, and the number of people online at the same time has reached 56,762.

Average daily Revenue is 220,000.

According to the next development trend, this number will at least double by the end of August.”

Xie Wen's tone on the phone was full of excitement.

Xu Liang is also very happy, "Legend: Overlord War" finally did not disappoint him.

But I wasn’t too happy, because later when Shanda operated Legend, its daily revenue exceeded 2 million, and Hongmeng is still far behind.

Although it cannot compare with Shanda's "Legend of Blood", the current "Legend: Overlord War" is already considered a successful game.

“Find a place to hold a celebration banquet for ‘Jumang Studio’.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Also, pay attention to player feedback and never tolerate any cheats and private servers."

Although now he has directly acquired Artos and Yumede , there can be no more disputes over the copyright of "Legend".

There is a high probability that source code leakage will not happen, but don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Be careful where you should be careful.

After instructing Xie Wen, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

"Legend: Overlord War" is hot on the market. According to the current development trend, the number of people online at the same time will exceed 100,000 in one month.

However, it is basically impossible to achieve the level of "Legend 2" with tens of millions of registrations a month and over 400,000 online at the same time.

But he was already very satisfied.

As long as this kind of popularity is maintained, the monthly sales of "Legend: Overlord War" will exceed five million. One month later, it will not be difficult to reach tens of millions.

"Finally, I can see the money back."

Xu Liangliang was filled with excitement.

With the financial support of the game, he can confidently and boldly realize his ambitions in Internet search. "President? President?"

The soft call brought Xu Liang back to his senses.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think of this house?" Sun Mingzhen asked quickly.

"Yes, let's do it here."

A week ago, he asked Sun Mingzhen to find a house.

The latter was very conscientious. He visited all the wealthy areas in Seoul and screened more than a dozen properties for him. After looking around, he felt that they were all good.

In the end, I chose this penthouse duplex apartment located in Royal City, Cheongdam-dong.

The total building area is 370 square meters, plus a rooftop balcony of over 100 square meters, overlooking the Han River, and the environment is good.

The surrounding area is also very prosperous and life is more convenient.

And this is the shopping center second only to Myeongdong. It is home to many wealthy celebrities and businessmen, and has great potential for appreciation in the future.

Xu Liang spent 50 million won, equivalent to 2.5 million Chinese dollars, to buy this house in the name of Xiangjiang Hongyan Fund.

He didn't need to worry about paying the money and transferring the ownership. Sun Mingzhen was happy to do the errands.

"Gangzi, go to the hotel with Renqing and bring our gifts over."

Huo Gang nodded and left with Lu Renqing.

"You go buy some furniture and bedding, we will stay here tonight."

The apartment is fully decorated and has a sofa and TV that you can move in with your bags. But the sheets and quilt covers must be changed.

After Sun Mingzhen nodded, just as she was about to turn around and leave, the phone in her bag rang.

Picked it up and looked at it, and quickly walked towards Xu Liang.

“President, Li Haizhen’s phone number.”

Xu Liangliang was shocked and secretly looking forward to it.

“The wait is finally here.”

Take it and press the answer button.

"President Li, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Mr. Xu acquired the Naver stocks from Kim Young-quan and Fan Ji-sung?"

Xu Liang knows about this. He couldn't hide it for long. Ever since he learned about the concerted action agreement, he had no intention of hiding it anymore. There was no point in hiding it.

“Not bad.”

"Mr. Xu, there is no way I will give up Naver Company." Li Haizhen said firmly.

"President Li may have misunderstood, but I have no intention of letting you give up. I am a Chinese and cannot stay in South Korea forever. Therefore, Naver Company needs a manager, and President Li is the most suitable person."

"I don't believe in any verbal promises..."

"We can implement them in the contract." Xu Liang interrupted.

Li Haizhen was silent for a while.

"Mr. Xu, let's find a place to chat tonight."

Xu's conscience was shocked, and he said calmly, suppressing the joy in his heart.

“Yes.”

“Myeongdong Meifong Tea House, seven o’clock in the evening.”

“No problem, see you there or not.”

"See you soon."

After agreeing, Li Haizhen hung up the phone.

Xu Liang clenched his fist happily and waved it in the air.

Through the phone call just now, he clearly felt that Li Haizhen's tone had loosened.

"Mingzhen, get ready, we will go to Meifeng Tea House in the evening."

"Yes."
