Homecoming of Rebirth

First, I did maintenance work on several small websites for two years, and then joined the newly established Actoz company.

He can be regarded as a veteran, and he got mixed up with a small supervisor of the company.

Over the years, I have kept in touch with my classmates in China.When I returned to China at the beginning of the year, I also organized a class reunion.

It's just that Zhang Jian was busy developing an Internet cafe management system and a new server architecture for Qi Lei at that time, and the meeting place was in the capital, so he regretted missing it.

When Zhang Jian contacted Park Zhenghao, he was a little surprised.

At the beginning of the year, a group of college students even talked about Zhang Jian, and they felt a little pity for him.

One must know that the students of their class had either reached high-level positions in the capital city or the technologically advanced cities in the south, or they had gone abroad to seek development, and they were doing well.

There are really not many people who still stay in school to learn.

And it is a bit embarrassing for a technical master like Zhang Jian to achieve nothing.

Yes, although the aura of a Ph.D. is indeed dazzling enough, but the computer industry, it should be said that it is the best era, and it is not a wise choice not to ride the waves and concentrate on learning.

Take Zhang Jian as an example, what if he graduated with a Ph.D.?

When you come out to work, don't you start from scratch and get the same salary as master students and undergraduate students?

To put it bluntly, this is an era of technological explosion. Doctors who have just put down their books may not necessarily have a job for two years, and undergraduates with rich practical experience are more competitive.

The best result is to stay in school to teach, get a salary of hundreds or thousands of dollars, and survive until retirement.

As for whether it can produce any scientific research results, it will soar into the sky?

Hehe, other majors can still look forward to it. If you are a server, if you see the boss's things at a glance, there is basically no hope.

"What's the matter, old classmate? What wind reminds you of me?"

Of course, Zhang Jian couldn't come up and ask for help when he hasn't heard from him for several years. He just chatted with each other over the phone.

Regarding this, Park Zhenghao was also full of enthusiasm, talking about his good life in South Korea in detail.

He also persuaded Zhang Jian from time to time, "If you can't do it, come out! The domestic development momentum is indeed good, but there is still a big gap with foreign countries."

"It goes without saying that Europe and the United States are even worse than Japan and South Korea. Why bother to hold on to such a small domestic market?"

Zhang Jian also sighed when he heard it, "The vision of going out here is different. Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is all about the big environment and the big market."

Park Zhenghao, "I can't help it. I didn't know how naive I was in China until I came out."

In this regard, Zhang Jian had no choice but to perfunctory, "I can't leave for the time being, I joined a company, and I can't leave!"

After hearing this, Park Zhenghao was also happy for Zhang Jian, "Are you finally enlightened? Don't you just focus on learning?"

"Okay! Do you still want to be a server? If you need help, just ask. Whether it's technology or wind direction, it's much better than domestic ones."

Zhang Jian, "That's a good relationship, I take it seriously."

Park Zhenghao, "We're all classmates, why are you being polite!"

Zhang Jian, "To be honest, I really need your help with something."

Park Zhenghao, "Oh? Tell me."

Zhang Jian, "Your company has a game called "Legend", right?"

Park Zhenghao was stunned, "Yes, I solved the server solution, which is an innovative technology."

However, Park Zhenghao did not say that Legend only started to conduct online testing in South Korea in November last year, and it has just been completed recently and entered the formal operation stage.

It is still in the promotion stage.The number of people online is not high.

Why is the domestic news so well-informed?That's all you know?

"Why are you asking this?"

Zhang Jian, "Don't do anything! No, the company is interested in developing the game industry. Can you communicate with us to see if there is any intention to seek an agent in China?"

"Yes!" Park Zhenghao agreed immediately.

"However, our company is very stuck on the issue of overseas agency fees. It's not cheap!"

When Zhang Jian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Is it expensive?

But it didn't show it, "it's just reasonable."

Park Zhenghao, "That's true, but game operations are not just done at will. First of all, does your company have a license?"

Zhang Jian thought about it, and it seemed that there was not.

But he said: "This is simple, as long as the two parties reach an agreement, it will not be too late to go through the formalities."

Park Zhenghao nodded and asked again, "So, you are not a game agency?"

Zhang Jian, "No, we are an Internet cafe management company."

"network……"

Park Zhenghao was stunned, and then laughed again, "Old classmate, your boss thinks this matter is simple! Without experience in setting up large-scale servers, you can't play well."

This era is not like later generations. There are ready-made server operating companies and several server installation solutions for you to choose from.

General game companies have their own server technology teams, and they have to come up with their own installation plans and so on!

You have no experience, and you want to run the game?Are you naive?

"This is not the same thing as the small fights in Internet cafes. Without a large-scale server installation plan, you can't operate it."

"And our company should be able to delegate the game agency rights to Chinese companies. But the server setup plan is a company secret, and it is impossible to give it to you."

In fact, a game can be made with only a few modeling coders, but the server architecture is the core technology of a company and cannot be easily spread.

Of course, it is limited to this era, and it is a joke to future generations.

Regarding this, Zhang Jian didn't say anything. Relying on the old friendship, he laughed and cursed, "You can help me get in touch. Our boss will solve other matters by himself."

"..."

Park Zhenghao was a little speechless, "Old classmate, my words may be a little harsh. Now the domestic Internet industry is developing very fast, but you really can't have the mentality of an upstart. You can't do things with money!"

"This industry still needs a bit of precipitation. I think that the boss of your company is a bit too ambitious, and you may not have a future. You should... make plans first!"

Zhang Jian is also speechless, you have filled in the details.

Without further ado, he smiled and said, "Help me out!"

"Okay then!" Park Zhenghao nodded and agreed.

……

After contacting Park Zhenghao, Zhang Jian called Qi Lei to explain the situation.

In summary, there are two questions:

First, the agency fee is estimated to exceed Qi Lei's expectations.

Second, we have to set up the server ourselves.

In the end, Qi Lei didn't take it seriously.

The agency fee will be very expensive, because Zhang Jian misunderstood the word "expensive".

Qi Lei couldn't remember the exact number, but he knew that it didn't take much money for Shengda to win Legendary's agency rights.

Moreover, even if it is more expensive than later generations, compared to the rate of return, it can only be regarded as a cabbage price.

At that time, Shanda raised millions of dollars to operate Legend, and only two years later, it didn’t count how much profit Legend brought to Shanda. Only SoftBank Asia’s financing for Shanda was 4000 million.

4000 million dollars!

At that time, Shanda only had a legendary agency in his hands, without any remarkable achievements.

So, how expensive can it be?

As for the server...

"Xiao Jianjian, your classmate doesn't think highly of you!"

When Zhang Jian heard this, his expression immediately turned bitter.

Park Zhenghao was very enthusiastic, but there was indeed a sense of contempt in his words.

"What are you going to say?"

Qi Lei, "Slap in the face! It must be slapped in the face! In particular, we may really be a stick, but in terms of the server, can people make jokes?"

Zhang Jian was right when he thought about it, Sanshi Company doesn't have the energy now, and the server construction industry is a high-investment, long-term industry, Qi Lei looks down on it.

Otherwise, if Sanshi starts to make servers, not to mention that he has no rivals in China, he will be able to challenge him internationally.

After pondering for a moment, "Give me some time, let's think about it with Zhao Na!"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Nan Laona, you stand in my way!"

Qi Lei pursed his lips, "I seriously doubt that you said you wanted to think about it to hide from Mr. Nan!"

Zhang Jian laughed, but he didn't deny or admit it.

Putting down the phone, the next day, Zhang Jian gathered several capable people from the technical department in terms of servers, and held a technical seminar. Even Zhao Na, who was still in school, was called over by him.

Among them, in addition to Zhang Jian, there is also a doctoral student from the University of Technology, newly recruited a few months ago.There is also a master tutor of Harbin Engineering, whose technology is better than Zhang Jian, and he is a special consultant.

For this, Qi Lei offered a sky-high price of two thousand a month.

Don't use it for work, just come and stroll around when you are free.

In short, in terms of talent reserve, Qi Lei is not stingy at spending money.

There are now more than 20 people in the technical department, and more and more talented people in software and hardware. Qi Lei even recruited a hacker from Baodao through Cai Wuming's relationship.

However, it was poached by Mr. Nan, and the system research and development center just happened to be useful.

The symposium will focus on one topic: "Actoz, the server architecture of online games!"

Zhang Jian briefly explained the situation at the meeting, that is, Sanshi was going to represent a Korean game.

As for Actoz, the current situation is that they have a brand new server setup solution suitable for online games.However, it is only possible to take out the agency right, not the server plan.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Wang Yong, the master supervisor of Harbin Engineering, smiled contemptuously, "Traditional online games follow the web service architecture, which naturally has flaws."

It's no industry secret, but to put it more technically, web and game servers have fundamentally different concurrency aspects.

The server is only responsible for storing player accounts, data, and forwarding the actions of other players in the scene.Many key logics such as moving and using skills do not exist on the server at all, and you can change the speed of the game with changing gears at will.

In layman's terms, the simplest mode of server setup is actually one server corresponding to multiple clients.

The web server is this model. A server processes the client’s uplink and downlink data and puts it in the game server, which is to process player data, behavior, scene information, real-time interaction, etc.

This model is primitive and unscientific, and it has fatal drawbacks when used in games.

As long as you have a little professional knowledge, you can make a cheat in the game. Those so-called second-hand, teleportation, and invincible cheats come from this way.

Even without plug-ins, the commonly used system gears can be used to cheat.

And this mode, Sanshi has been eliminated long ago, not to mention games, our Internet cafe servers don't use this anymore.

……

The technical department also plays games, and examines majors from a professional perspective. Wang Yong understands this because of academic needs.

"If Actoz says it has an advanced server setup solution, it's nothing more than adding an extra logical server, right?"

Zhang Jian thought for a while, "It's very likely!"

Wang Yong, "Then why are they so awesome?"

"Adding a logic server, at most, is no longer simply uploading archives, downloading archives, and accessing pages. The game logic appears inside the game server, which can be used to synchronize the world seen by each player, and make the logic and The client is separated to avoid the defenseless logical system of early online games, but this solution is still completely defenseless against cheating, right?"

Zhang Jian, "I don't know where their confidence comes from."

Wang Yong, "Then why did you call everyone here? Our technology itself is already ahead!"

Thanks to the idea provided by Qi Lei, the current server solution of Sanshi Company is very advanced.

But Zhang Jiandao: "I want to be more advanced! Let the Koreans see that we are not just one or two generations ahead of them, but three or four generations!"

Wang Yong: "..."

Everyone, "..."

Zhang Jian's words cheered him up a bit.
