Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Shanghai, five minutes company.

About last year, three graduates Xu Cheng, Gao Shaofei and Cheng Yanhui established a "You and Me Information Network" to do online bookmarking business.

But they don’t make money. In order to support the company, the three of them took on some domestic and foreign outsourcing jobs.

This year's industry is in a downturn, and the amount of outsourcing has decreased. After thinking about it, social games are very popular now, so they should switch to social games!

So it became a "five-minute" company, which means that you can play a game for five minutes a day.

now.

There is a sense of poverty everywhere in the small office, more than a dozen employees are busy, and in front of a table, three bosses are huddled together, studying their own works.

This is their first game after transformation, called "Crazy Queen".

Chess kind of.

But it is not traditional chess, but a moving flash style. The black and white checkered board is like a battlefield, and the chess pieces have become anthropomorphic images: knights in full armor, bishops in robes and wands, majestic and domineering kings, elegant charming queen...

They act on the chessboard and have corresponding skills when they eat the chess pieces. For example, the bishop casts spells, and the knight chops and slashes.

"nice!"

"Yes, very good!"

The three young people finally tested it and were very satisfied with the work. As far as the art, design, and fluency are concerned, we will eat shit if it is not popular!

After the work is published, the next step is to find a platform for cooperation.

There is no doubt that the domestic duo of north and south, 99 and Tencent. So the three of them immediately contacted each other to promote "The Crazy Queen".

A few days later, there was a reply.

First, Tencent, the other party politely refused, the reason is that the audience of chess in the mainland is too small, and there is already chess in the QQ game hall.

Even 99, it was super polite to refuse, the reason is as above, the audience is too small.

Entrepreneurship is often a passion, no matter what, you will wake up when you are beaten. At this time, the three of them were a little confused, and they never expected that they would not be able to sell it.

"oops!"

Gao Shaofei suddenly called out, annoyed: "What did we think at the beginning, why did we make chess? Why didn't we make Chinese chess?"

"That's right, what do you think, who made the suggestion?"

"Everyone discussed it together. Don't blame anyone. At the beginning, I said that the chess painting style is handsome and compelling, and it looks good when it is made!"

"well……"

The three looked at each other and could only sigh.

While at a loss, the office phone rang, and Gao Shaofei answered it casually: "Hello... 99?"

When they heard that it was 99, the two of them immediately pricked up their ears, only to see Gao Shaofei humming and haha ​​for a long time, and finally hung up.

"what's the situation?"

"Is there a turning point? Are they willing to cooperate?"

"no……"

Gao Shaofei looked weird, confused: "99 said they want to buy our company."

…………

"Boss Yao, I refused in five minutes!"

"Continue to follow up, try to talk, don't engage in dirty tricks, what I want is talent, not that small broken company."

"Okay, understand!"

In Yingshi Building, Yao Yuan waved his hand to let the employees back down, without showing any expression.

He was looking for the development company of the stealing food game before, but he didn't know how to find it, and he never thought of delivering it to his door.

That's right, the original "Happy Farm" was developed in five minutes.

In reality, they will work it out by the end of this year and release it on the Xiaonei platform. It became popular in 2009, and successfully went overseas, earning a lot of money.

Then it was targeted by Tencent, and Tencent bought out all the rights and interests of "Happy Farm" on the QQ channel for 5 million.

There are two ways of cooperation between the game and the platform, share and buyout.

Tencent did not plagiarize this time, but spent money to buy it. It may be that its size has grown and its reputation is too bad, so it has begun to cherish its feathers. Of course, if it doesn't sell for five minutes, it may be another result.

Master Huang's three-movement chess: treat guests, behead them, and accept pawns!

After Tencent bought it, it changed its name to "QQ Farm" and used its huge user base to operate. If it was popular before, it became popular after that, and food stealing was officially recorded in the annals of Internet history.

But the situation of the original creator was very miserable in five minutes. Although there were some excellent works after that, they were unable to replicate the success of stealing food, and the financing also failed, so they had to be lost to everyone.

To put it bluntly, this is a story of a small company struggling hard but being beaten by capital.

If the five-minute financing is successful, it may be another way of saying it, but if there is no if, there are too many similar companies in the Internet wave.

Yao Yuan is also a casual player. The three founders of Five Minutes are all talented, and he is in urgent need of game talents, so he wants to acquire it.

Especially the one named Gao Shaofei, who later cooperated with Tmall and really ran to build a farm. The agricultural products he produced were sold on Tmall, which can be said to be both online and offline.

Yao Yuan wanted to take him in to take charge of the social game business.

...

"Happy Farm" has no technical barriers and is easily plagiarized.

Yao Yuan's is no exception, but it has just launched and is still in the promotion stage, so let's talk about it first when it becomes popular.

Today, Palm Springs Residence.

The two got married and didn't buy a so-called new house. They like Palm Springs the most, so they set up their new house here. Yinyin sat on the sofa, took out a large bag, and took out about twenty small boxes.

"This is chocolate, this is wedding cake, this is aromatherapy and soap... Let's see which ones are suitable and make a gift bag as a souvenir."

"Pick out what you must have first, wedding cakes, chocolate..."

Yao Yuan picked up a box of chocolates and suddenly asked, "Hey, are these chocolates of the same brand, right?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's a Ferrero for a VIP, and a white rabbit for an ordinary person."

"What are you talking about, who can do such a shitty thing?"

Yinyin snatched it over, feeling bewildered.

Yao Yuan shrugged, why not, Da Mi Mi has done this before, giving a chocolate and watching others order dishes.

The two chose for a long time, and finally chose eight items: chocolate, wedding cake, aromatherapy, handmade soap, a delicate nail clipper, a cup, a tiffany crystal candy box, and a digital camera.

Some are beautiful, some are practical, and some are expensive.

Yao Yuan usually doesn't show off his wealth, let alone extravagance and waste. This gift package is very expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the guests he invited, it is quite low-key.

And he doesn't understand that wedding photos are used as souvenirs. Gifts are given to guests. Why do people want your wedding photos?

"Ding dong ding dong!"

After picking things out and arranging seats for the guests, Yao Yuan's phone rang.

"..."

He glanced at his wife who was about to enter the door, Yin Yin didn't even lift her head, and said: "If you have work, go there, pretending, I have to work overtime later."

"That's different. It's different when you get married. You have to say everything."

Yao Yuan got up to find the phone, and Cheng Wei called. The child was a little agitated, and his voice was loud: "Mr. Yao, I have something to report!"

"explain!"

"HTC announced that it will launch the world's first Android phone!"

(No, I owe three chapters, don't worry, I will definitely make it up.

Thanks to the cute master of Baishuitan...)
