Check for hidden dangers
A network game, in addition to the main program, must also consider modeling, map, music and so on.
Wei Dongsheng did not hope to settle this matter alone.
As mentioned before, Wei Dongsheng's business philosophy was "IT is Idea and Team". Compared to exhausting himself to start from the very beginning to study the notes and music, Wei Dongsheng would rather hire an even better staff to do it for him.
However, ideas are good, and reality is difficult.
The game industry had just begun. Even the Yanjing, Shenhai, wide sheep, Deep Roc and other big cities, many skilled Programmer were not familiar with the game industry, not to mention the small town Wu Ping. Even the Internet Enterprise who had been famous for a long time, in 2001 when she was developing "Gossip to the West", the technology she had accumulated was inconceivable. To what extent? The R & D team didn't know how to get the mouse keyboard events directly from the HTML page in the program. They wrote an extra control, registered it into the system, sent messages to the control in javascript, and then forwarded the control to the main program. The high-profile research and development team has admitted that the design is very stupid.
The dignified Netease was already in such a state, Wei Dongsheng lived in a small county in the mainland, where could he go to recruit qualified staff?
There were all kinds of customers like Huo Yongshan in Wu Ping's small town. When they saw the label "berating", they exclaimed that Wei Dongsheng was a super big cow.
In view of the difficult reality, Wei Dongsheng could only do it himself. He wanted to create a demo that could display its strength to Jing Minqiang.
With all these, Wei Dongsheng bade farewell to typing and repeating the same thing. He then fell into a deep hole in the program's optimization design, racking his brains to think of which algorithms were more stable, more efficient, and more concise. Wei Dongsheng attended lessons during the daytime, pretending to have a textbook as he pondered on how to optimize yesterday's functional modules. From time to time, he would lift the ballpoint pen and simulate calculation on the homework book. The world of the Programmer was so vast and so enclosed. Compared to it, school life was not as boring as it seemed.
On October 28, Enormous Network updated the Legend to the 1.60 version of "Hot Blooded Divine Eagle". As for equipment, the new version had introduced the Demonic Blood Set and the Rainbow Demon Set, attracting some Privacy players to return.
Wei Dongsheng ordered Bluegrass to check the source code of the new Legend and discovered that this update from Enormous Network greatly increased the drop rate for skill books. It slightly increased the drop rate for equipment, purposely reducing the difficulty for players to obtain equipment. The new version of Enormous Network was meant to increase the critical rate and decrease the difficulty in order to fight against the increasing number of Privacy. The Legendary Private Service industry was still in the early stages of development, and their current advantage was that they could quickly upgrade and log in and give away high-grade equipment. Enormous Network had a lower difficulty in acquiring equipment, so they had a higher chance of choosing to stay and operate more stable uniforms.
As the Enormous Network reduced the difficulty of the game, the amount of equipment in the game increased, so naturally, the equipment trading business of the Internet Cafe Game Studio was affected. On October 25, daily sales were 874 thousand yuan, and a week later, on November 1, daily sales were 649 thousand yuan, up 25.7 percent. As the Legend increased the critical rate, the profits of the Internet Cafe Game Studio plummeted. Fortunately, the decline in the equipment exchange business was within Wei Dongsheng's expectations, so he was not like Huo Yongshan, who would not be able to sleep at ease.
On November 2 and November 3, the weekend, Wei Dongsheng took the opportunity to count the total income for October.
Perhaps it was because of their recent creation, the profits from the Legendary Private Service s were not optimistic. On October 20, transition to October 31, they only provided Wei Dongsheng 802 thousand yuan in profits. However, unlike the equipment trading business which was declining day by day, the Legendary Private Service's absolute profits were increasing by the day, which was something to look forward to.
On the Game Studio's side, the Legendary Private Service s that Huo Yongshan operated only received tens of thousands of yuan, it was not even worth mentioning. On the equipment exchange section, although the overall trend was declining, the profits were very impressive, with a monthly sales of 29.305 million yuan. After deducting Huo Yongshan's nominal dividends and various expenses, Wei Dongsheng's gross profit was estimated to be 17.583 million.
1758.3 + 80.2 = 1838.5.
In October 2002, Wei Dongsheng made 18.38 million yuan for his Legendary Parasite game. If the Enormous Network obtained the real data, he would probably be jealous to the point of buying people to kill.
However, hidden worries were brewing under the boiling oil.
With the help of the green algae, Wei Dongsheng calculated October's total profit. He was shocked to find that there were signs of forgery on the business list of October 30th, which hid at least seven thousand yuan of sales. had never dared to hope that the Internet Cafe would be able to operate at its best. As long as the Game Studio's bottom line of profit was within the accepted range, Wei Dongsheng could tolerate the small actions of Huo Yongshan and his team. However, October 30's operating list was too excessive, and the forgery was not professional, daring to jot down a few messy accounts on the day's operating list. That was tolerable, but what could not be tolerated?
There are no fish in the water, and no fish in the water. Wei Dongsheng would never separate from Huo Yongshan just because of a single mistake, but there had to be something that needed to be done. If Huo Yongshan realized that he had made a mistake and was willing to correct it, or if Huo Yongshan was not aware of it, Wei Dongsheng could continue to cooperate with him as if he had never seen him before. If Huo Yongshan had done all of this deliberately, and become even more greedy, and was no longer as loyal as he was in his previous life, Wei Dongsheng would definitely stop his cooperation with him and fiercely retaliate against the danger of eliminating his personal safety.
~ Continuing to work together, or parting ways, Wei Dongsheng gave the choice to Huo Yongshan.
November 3 is Sunday, Wu Ping a high school week system, Sunday afternoon is the rest time for students. Wei Dongsheng called Huo Yongshan, without explaining the problem beforehand. He simply asked him to have a meal at a restaurant near Wu Ping's entrance. Huo Yongshan was punctual, but he was baffled by the invitation: "You always go to my school, why did you call me to your school this time?"
Wei Dongsheng thought for a while, but did not beat around the bush. Instead, he started the topic and handed over the list of items for October 30th to Huo Yongshan: "Take a look."
Huo Yongshan did not understand. "This is the business list for October 30th?"
Wei Dongsheng was too lazy to act dumb. He pointed to a certain area with his right index finger and middle finger and said, "There's a problem with the orders I made."
Huo Yongshan was still confused: "A problem?"
Wei Dongsheng made the words even more clear: "There's something wrong with these orders, at least 7,000 yuan have been lost."
Huo Yongshan stood up with his eyes wide open, "Young Master Qian?"
Wei Dongsheng calmly but surely repeated: "I don't have enough money."
Huo Yongshan was at a loss what to do, his face full of awkwardness as he looked at Wei Dongsheng. The atmosphere was quiet for about half a minute. Wei Dongsheng's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was the female classmate at the back table, Wei Manman. "Wei Dongsheng, have you finished taking care of your small matters? I'm at your door! "
Wei Dongsheng affirmed: "Give me a few minutes, I'll be at the school gate, I'll be home right away."
Wei Dongsheng hung up the phone and then took his leave: "My classmate has something to talk to me about. Why don't you go back and check first?"
Huo Yongshan replied depressingly: "Alright."
Wei Dongsheng left the business list of the red pen symbol with Wei Dongsheng and simply walked out of the restaurant. Maybe it was someone's mistake in settling the bill of business, maybe it was Huo Yongshan who bullied Wei Dongsheng and kept him stuck on campus for a long time, or maybe he was deceived by the sales representative for the students. However, the reason was not important, and the result was also not important. What was important was Huo Yongshan's attitude. Wei Dongsheng decided to give Huo Yongshan some time to slowly sort out the cause and effect, and to think about the conflicts of interest between them.
Wei Dongsheng headed straight towards the house and quickly saw the figure of Wei Manman and her good friend Xia Mengjun.
Xia Mengjun was Wei Manman's best friend. She had been at the same table as Wei Manman in junior high school and had forged a deep sisterhood with him. Xia Mengjun was also studying in the first grade's second floor's eighth class. She would often come to the ninth class to look for Wei Manman. In her previous life, Wei Manman often brought Xia Mengjun here to count because she was worried that the rumors might sully her and Wei Dongsheng's pure friendship. As Wei Dongsheng had missed too many classes and was busy designing programs, Xia Mengjun was not familiar with Wei Dongsheng yet, so she was a bit shy when she met him.
Wei Manman was already familiar with Wei Dongsheng: "This building has a few residences, why does it look so cold?"
Wei Dongsheng couldn't be bothered to lie to Wei Manman on such a small matter: "I'm the only one staying."
Wei Manman did not truly understand what Wei Dongsheng meant.
This was a suburb of the county, and its surroundings were once a flat area. Wu Ping had to settle down before she could develop her business. Wei Dongsheng's two story house was filled with people heading north to east, but to the south to west was a field with low output. When night fell, it was filled with a tinge of terror. Of course, Wei Dongsheng would not be afraid of all these.
Wei Dongsheng stayed on the second floor often, but the second floor was filled with servers, computers, and simple computers. Wei Dongsheng brought Wei Manman and Xia Mengjun to a hall that was not commonly used, "The weather is cold, so it's not suitable for cold drinks. Would you like a cup of hot tea or coffee?"
Wei Manman rejected: "No."
Xia Mengjun followed Wei Manman, "I don't drink either."
Wei Manman looked around the living room: "Your room is so spacious, other than the sofa and the guest table, everyone else is surprised, this is a computer?"
It was too late for Wei Dongsheng to do all he could to wash the white of his face. Naturally, he did not intentionally hide the fact that he knew how to program computers. Considering that the server and the simple computer array on the second floor was too shocking, Wei Dongsheng intentionally placed a desktop computer in the most obvious spot in the living room. Wei Manman and her other classmates and friends came to visit. Upon seeing this computer, they would subconsciously understand and accept Wei Dongsheng's computer programming skills.
In 2002, computers, whether desktop or laptop, were a rarity in the small town of Wu Ping.
When his vision shrunk to Wei Manman, his parents treated computers as beasts that would affect their students' learning. It was only at the end of the college entrance examination that they agreed to buy computers for Wei Manman. In Wu Ping's three years of high school, Wei Manman often followed Wei Dongsheng, whether actively or passively, to the Internet Cafe to understand the new world.
