Reborn to create a virtual world

The so-called comprehensive cooperation, of course, does not mean exclusive licensing, or measures such as mutual advertising.

However, Jinjiang has too many works, and the quality varies. It is impossible for Lin Shu to make games for most of the works. However, he can let the officials of the two websites authorize each other, and let the users of both websites authorize their own games.

Popular works may have doubts about this, and even consider selling it for a price.However, some popular works are definitely easy to authorize.What Lin Shu hopes to do is to set up such a channel between the two websites. Anyone on the interface of Jinjiang's works can see whether a novel has been authorized by the future game platform, whether it is a general authorization or Exclusive authorization, whether it is free authorization or commercial authorization, and then all registered users can directly request or purchase game adaptation authorization from the original author through this channel.

In this case, if a reader feels unsatisfactory after reading the novel, he may click into the game interface to play related games.If a player has downloaded a story mod or character mod and finds it particularly interesting, he can click into the original work to read the novel.

The superposition of popularity is not the result of one plus one equals two, but the overall atmosphere will be improved.The nature of fan games and peripherals are actually very similar, and they are both a way to strengthen the emotional investment of consumer groups. The difference is that the latter requires higher investment costs, while the former requires more manpower.

Manpower is not a problem.The entertainment and cultural industries have always been the industries least likely to lack "love".

This is quite a new channel for online articles. Generally speaking, it is a win-win strategy, and it will not affect the original consumption form of the website, so Jinjiang actually has no real reason to refuse.

The future platform has recently started to promote on major video websites. Although the amount of advertisements placed is not very intensive, the advantage is that the scope of advertisements is wide and covers all types of websites.In contrast, although Jinjiang has the title of the largest women's Chinese original website, it is not active in advertising, and its ranking on various web navigation sites is relatively low.

Although in theory, Jinjiang’s daily turnover cannot be less than that of the future platform—Zheng Fangcheng actually wonders why the other party doesn’t spend money on advertising.Generally speaking, in modern society, even the best products need to be widely advertised.Obviously, as long as you spend a certain amount of money, you can get several times the benefits, why not do it?

But after all, this is an internal decision. Even if Zheng Fangcheng was puzzled, he would not express his opinion.

Because the future platform has been rising rapidly recently, and it is currently somewhat monopolistic, its influence has even been fed back to the plot modules and character modules that have been gradually released some time ago.The recently launched character template or plot template, whichever is released will drive the popularity of the original work, and push the original work to various lists on the website, and the popularity and subscriptions will also skyrocket.

Most of the authorized works that Xingze talked about before are completed novels.For web articles, after the general novel is finished, the income will slowly fall after a wave of highs, and there will be no list blessings in the future, and there will be no major changes without accidents.

But after the corresponding modules were launched on the future platform, the subscriptions of these novels began to rise one after another, and even one or two books suddenly jumped to the gold subscription list from time to time, which shows the power of game adaptation.

And there is another thing about future games that is different from ordinary fan games, that is, it has more than just a plot.Its plot system and function system are separated, and you can plug in a few functional modules you like at any time when you follow the plot line, which greatly increases the gameplay of the entire game. Compared with ordinary fan plot games, The fun of games on the platform has significantly increased.

Also because of the previous positive effects, the discussion of cooperation with Jin Jiang went a lot smoother this time.After both parties tasted the sweetness, they both showed full sincerity and started to discuss cooperation.

Having said that, it took a lot of time to actually negotiate the contract.This time, because the content of the contract was more important, Zheng Fangcheng specially flew to Yanjing and had a face-to-face discussion with the other party for a few days.

It was Jinjiang's vice president and several girls from the copyright department who negotiated the contract with Zheng Fangcheng, among them was Luo Ying who was in charge of contacting Du Sitong before.The vice president of Jinjiang, surnamed Liu, is a middle-aged man who looks a bit naive.

His demeanor didn't look like the boss of a company, but rather like the siege lions that Zheng Fangcheng had seen, who would occasionally lay down a bedding on the office floor and sleep in a pile because of busy work.Due to his overweight body, his overall image is more like that of a technical geek from the house next door.

However, Zheng Fangcheng was valued by Cui Wenxin and Lin Shu successively, so he naturally has some ability and city.So even though there was a discrepancy between the evaluation in my heart and the expectation, I didn't judge people by their appearance, and behaved very normal.

The character of this Vice President Liu is also a bit like a technical geek who has not been deeply involved in the world, so the negotiation process between Zheng Fangcheng and the other party is relatively easy. Basically, there are no special temptations or 36 tricks. Basically, each talks about his own side Cooperation tendency and required conditions - in the past, Zheng Fangcheng spent most of his time discussing contracts with people on detailed terms and additional conditions, but it was easy to talk to this Vice President Liu.The focus of bargaining is directly on the price and share, as directly as going to the mall to buy clothes.

But after the final contract was signed, some accidents happened.

It is said that the data of the website was wrong, which caused another problem with the connection to the server.

Zheng Fangcheng heard the word "again" very clearly, so he immediately thought that something happened to the website recently.When Zheng Fangcheng came to the capital this time, he happened to be taking Bai Chiwen back to Huxi by the way.This guy is super ignorant. Hearing that Zheng Fangcheng came to Yanjing to discuss cooperation with Jinjiang, he wanted to follow him.Since there was a technical problem at this time, Zheng Fangcheng took him along to have a look - after all, he was also an elite from a famous school, although this elite was noisy and sloppy.

At this time, there were only three or two kittens in Jinjiang's technical department.Zheng Fangcheng casually asked, "Where are the others?", but was told that there were only three or two kittens in the Jinjiang Technical Department.

Moreover, these three technicians are obviously very young, and they look like young people who have just been out of society for a few years.I saw a group of people busy for most of the day, but failed to revive the website.

Bai Chiwen watched for a while, then suddenly said a few words.After hearing this, the technician replied with a dissatisfied expression, but Bai Chiwen suddenly spoke a lot at a very fast speed.

All of his words were full of professional terms, some of which he had heard and some of which he hadn't, so Zheng Fangcheng didn't understand much.Anyway, as he was talking, his hand ran to the server console of others, but Vice President Liu and other technicians didn't stop him, and they were still arguing with Bai Chiwen sentence by sentence, watching helplessly. Erhuo, who met for the first time, made a move on his own server.

Zheng Fangcheng was still hesitating whether he should stop it, but seeing that his own company didn't respond, he just waited and watched.

But it is inevitable that this group of technical nerds are too careless about their own servers.

What he didn't know was that Mr. Liu took care of his own server very closely on weekdays, almost as much as watching his son.The reason why he didn't stop Bai Chiwen at this time was because the current website errors really needed to be resolved, and the few operations Bai Chiwen had just done were really useful.He even pointed out a certain problem in the Jinjiang system that has been difficult to solve with just a few casual words.

Bai Chiwen is quite familiar with himself, and he is also a little aggressive.Mr. Liu and the technicians did not stop him. He really started to work on the server. After checking the system over and over again, he said without a word: "Has your server been optimized? This system structure was established ten years ago. No one is using it, okay? What are these packets? Is it too big? And it's being read all the time...too much memory."

Then he glanced at the name: "...ents...? Comments?"

But Mr. Liu replied: "It's the comments and messages on the articles on the website. Because they are comments accumulated over the years, the amount of data is relatively large. But this is one of the characteristics of our website, and there is no way to simplify it."

Bai Chiwen asked, "How many years is this data?"

"Almost 14 years."

Bai Chiwen suddenly took a deep breath.

He said almost like a cannonball: "You keep the comment data of 14 years!? Do you know that the cache data of any big website is cleaned regularly!? Comments, rumors, this kind of data is generally at most one It will be cleaned up once a year, otherwise no matter how good the server is, it will not be able to withstand it.”

"I know that the user information and comment information on many websites are cleared every year." Mr. Liu said, but insisted: "However, the reason why our website can survive so much strong competition is mainly because The reason is that we retain this human touch. People often ridicule our company as a family workshop on the Internet, but if such a small family workshop company is not different from other websites, why should we be surrounded by many powerful enemies? survive?"

"So we won't clear up these comments. I hope that many readers will look back in ten, twenty, or fifty years and find the traces they left at that time."

Bai Chiwen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Vice President Liu, who looked like an uncle next door, had such a heart of a literary youth.

He paused for a while before saying: "If this is the case, you'd better change to a better server, and I suggest that you separate the database of comments from other types of data such as the body of the article on different servers On the other hand, this reduces the squeeze on the data stream and reduces the opportunity for errors.”

When Mr. Liu heard the suggestion of changing the server, he couldn't help but felt a little nervous. He felt that this young man really didn't have a backache when he stood up and talked, and he didn't know how expensive he was if he wasn't in charge, but he still replied: "Uh... I will think about it." .”

After hearing Zheng Fangcheng talk about this little accident, Lin Shu asked Bai Chiwen: "Is the situation of the Jinjiang server really so miserable?"

Bai Chiwen said: "Don't talk about it. The structure of the entire website is completely at the level of more than ten years ago, and many functions are cumbersome and redundant. There are often all kinds of useless codes mixed in. In my opinion, it can be cleaned up completely. .I wonder if it hasn't been optimized in years."

"The comment database is even more exaggerated, and the amount of data is astonishingly large when it is running... That Mr. Liu said it so sincerely, I am embarrassed to say that he doesn't distinguish between serious and serious... To play with feelings, you must also consider what you can afford I can't afford it."

Lin Shu thought for a while, then asked Zheng Fangcheng: "Did Mr. Liu say anything? For example, do you want to optimize or reprogram the system?"

Zheng Fangcheng replied: "I don't think that's what he meant. I tried to ask him about his plan, and Mr. Liu said that considering the problem of funds, let's use it like this for the time being."

When Lin Shu heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or amused—can this matter be used?

Is such a partner really reliable?

Later, after he chatted with Du Sitong.Only then did I realize that this website twitched not once or twice.And it's not the current thing that this website boss is cheating.

However, Du Sitong has different opinions from several men, big and small, on other issues: "Don't look at it as a scam, Vice President Liu is right about one thing, that is, Jinjiang can stand on many original websites, and its own The atmosphere is an important reason. Among the four women's websites we contacted, only Jinjiang has the most extensive themes, and the main reason is its own atmosphere and positioning...The boss Wenqing also has the benefits of Wenqing."

Lin Shu listened and asked: "Mr. Du, let's not discuss whether the comments should be kept or not. Let's talk about cooperation-I just say that as the partner of cooperation, we and Jinjiang are going to conduct long-term data exchange. This Under such circumstances, I certainly hope that both parties have a stable and efficient system, and I also hope that the other party’s development will get better and better. In this direction, do you think there is anything we can do?”

After hearing this, Du Sitong was silent for a while before saying: "Actually, in terms of the system, I personally like Jinjiang very much. There are various types of works and many good stories. I think there is basically nothing to be picky about. If If you don’t talk about problems, the most serious one is the system instability you mentioned earlier, and the website twitches from time to time. The other is piracy... Jinjiang’s anti-piracy is really bad. There are even more genuine ones. The VIP reading section under the name of Kuaishu still has the technology of picture protection, and Jinjiang has almost always been stolen in seconds, and I often see people complaining."

"Then there's the app. It's also very poorly done. I often hear people complain."

Then she asked Lin Shu: "But does this have anything to do with our platform?"

Lin Shu thought: Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter.But now when it comes to the two behemoths of Fetion Games and Kuaishu Group, it is more relevant.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. This sentence has been the truth for thousands of years.

But he didn't say what he was thinking, just smiled and said: "After all, he is a partner."

Afterwards, Zheng Fangcheng contacted Jinjiang Company again and discussed with the other party about rebuilding the website system so that the data of the two parties can be exchanged more conveniently and stably.In the middle, he emphasized on the issue of anti-theft and APP, and Jinjiang also knows that the future platform has first-class anti-theft and encryption technology, and it has been coveted for a long time, but there is still a certain difference between game anti-theft and novel anti-theft, so it is Didn't think too much about it.

After Zheng Fangcheng proposed, Jinjiang was obviously more excited, but Vice President Liu was really careful about budgeting, so the first thing he asked was the cost of remaking the system.

Zheng Fangcheng said: "The boss means that our anti-cracking technology is not for sale, but as a partner, it is also for mutual benefit. We will optimize the system specifically for Jinjiang to make it more effective in anti-theft. This system We only charge basic project fees, not royalties. However, Jinjiang can use this system, but has no right to use or sell related technologies in other respects.”

But this is enough for Mr. Liu.

After the two sides discussed the content of the cooperation, Zheng Fangcheng was ready to fly back to Huxi.At the same time, Bai Chiwen and Lin Shu's mother and son went back with him.

The end of the summer vacation at the end of August, and the start of school is approaching. Lin Shu's summer vacation can be said to be very fulfilling, and he is a bit too busy.

The cousins ​​showed a little reluctance to let their aunt and Lin Shu go home, and Liang Jiwen was the most important among them.But he didn't mess around. On the contrary, Liang Heyu acted very ignorant, rolled on the ground of the airport, was picked up by her mother and slapped her buttocks before she settled down. Shu shoulders cry.

When it was time to board the plane, Lin Shu felt very tired.

He rested for a while, then took out his notebook, and began to think about how to optimize the system and design APP for Jinjiang.

Generally speaking, it is more effective to use a unique encryption format for anti-theft.But there is also a problem with this, that is, it is not easy to control the size of the file.

Lin Shu thought about which encryption format is the most streamlined and convenient, and can be used in today's computer and mobile phone systems.

He wrote and drew for a while, but suddenly someone said in his ear: "Is this the encrypted format for Jinjiang?"

Lin Shu was taken aback, only to realize that it was Bai Chiwen who spoke.

He was sitting next to Lin Shu, and stretched his neck to look at the notebook in Lin Shu's hand, completely ignorant of what it means to see no evil.

Even knowing that this guy has this kind of personality and not out of malice, Lin Shu is still a little helpless.

But what surprised him even more was that Bai Chiwen was able to discover the purpose of the messy doodles on his notes.

The above can only be regarded as half a concept map at most.

But Bai Chiwen didn't get entangled in this matter, but said, "Lin Xiaoshu, I feel like I've been deceived...you're actually a child."

Lin Shu said helplessly: "I didn't say how old I was. And you didn't ask—don't you only care about salary and snacks?"

Bai Chiwen said: "Salary and novels are indeed what I care about, but what kind of person the boss is is also very important, right?"

Lin Shu said: "So you regret it now? You should say before boarding the plane that it was a waste of my air ticket. I won't be reimbursed for the return trip."

"Hey, hey!" Bai Chiwen didn't expect that the little boss had a worse mouth than himself, but said, "I haven't regretted it yet!"

Lin Shu shrugged: "Okay, what do you want to say?"

Bai Chiwen looked at Lin Shu for a while, and said, "I just want to know if you really have the level to create "Three Kingdoms Ideal". How about it, I will test you a few questions."

"...Say it."

Then Bai Chiwen began to test Linshu on some basic questions about games and programming.Lin Shu answered one by one, but Bai Chiwen didn't accept it as soon as he saw it. Instead, he asked and got excited, and the difficulty of the questions became more and more difficult. Later, he simply asked questions about advanced mathematics.

After listening to the question, Lin Shu took the draft paper and wrote it down halfway. Suddenly realizing the content involved in the question, he stopped taking notes halfway and said, "I don't know how to do this question!"

Bai Chiwen stopped immediately, looked at Lin Shu for a while, and said, "Liar!"

Lin Shu said: "If you say no, you won't."

Bai Chiwen said, "You haven't even done the math yet."

Lin Shu said: "Would it be possible to know without using a pen to figure it out? You can know it almost at the stage of formulating formulas. I know what you are asking, but I really don't know it."

He firmly insisted that Bai Chiwen couldn't make Lin Shu change his mind, so it was best to give up embarrassingly.

After getting off the plane, Lin Shu and Liang Yuehua returned home, while Bai Chiwen was first taken to the rented apartment by Zheng Fangcheng, and then brought to the company to report.

After Lin Shu got home, he called Ju Mingfeng first and told him that he was back, so as to prevent Ju Mingfeng from being overwhelmed because he didn't notify him immediately.

At this time, Ju Mingfeng seemed quite excited, saying that he wanted to come to find Lin Shu immediately, but was persuaded by Lin Shu.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shu followed Liang Yuehua into the room, only to see her mother put down her travel bag, first went to the kitchen, stretched out her fingers to touch the pot and the counter, and then walked out of the kitchen. He picked up his luggage and went upstairs, into his bedroom.

Lin Shu took her small bag back to the house and put it away, and when she went to find Liang Yuehua next door, she was shocked to find that Liang Yuehua was watching a laptop computer, and a chair was placed on the side of the cabinet, hanging from the top. A wire came down, and the other end of the wire was connected to a camera.

Lin Shu opened his mouth wide.

He approached Liang Yuehua lightly, and was about to peek at the content on the computer screen, but Liang Yuehua suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiao Shu...the vinegar in the kitchen is out, help mom to the supermarket to buy a bottle of vinegar Come back?"

Her voice was gentle and gentle, and she couldn't hear any emotion, but her eyes were full of exhaustion.

Lin Shu hesitated for a while, but took a step back and said, "Okay."
