Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 42 The night when **** descends

Regarding the fact that his behavior will most likely advance the entry of “Legend” into China by one year, Meng Qian knows nothing at the moment. He is now concerned about another thing. This summer, China is not only promoting it obviously. With the development of the Internet, there is another thing that is being promoted rapidly, and that is online payment.

Before the game was launched, especially when he was working on the Internet cafe management system, Meng Qian specially went to understand the current online payment environment.

According to the understanding at the time of May and June, only China Merchants Bank and China Bank had online banking before 2000, but China Bank was doing business on the enterprise side. China Merchants Bank’s personal online banking “One Netcom” was officially launched in September 1999, but other The bank doesn’t seem to mean to keep up immediately.

ICBC, the largest bank in the universe, did not release online banking until February 2000. Basically, there are no other banks until now.

This is the reason why Meng Qian didn’t consider the point card online purchase when doing the recharge function at the time. This environment simply couldn’t do it.

And at that time, Meng Qian went to set up two online banking by himself, and it was not as convenient for later generations. More importantly, it was not safe.

Since there is no such a big environment, Meng Qian did not go to the single-plank bridge, and just walked offline with peace of mind.

But just this summer vacation, some things are changing. In July, China Merchants Bank launched the Personal Banking Professional 1.0. ICBC announced that it had begun optimizing online banking. Many other banks launched their own personal online banking services this summer.

At the same time, the government voiced to increase the development of online personal banking. Obviously, China Xia’s online financial system is about to enter a key node.

In the development of this industry, one company seems to have played a very important role, and that is eBay.

The development of eBay is very fast, and Meng Qian has been paying attention to this company. eBay, founded in August 1999, became China’s most popular auction in the fifth “Statistical Survey on the Development of China Internet Network” by CNNIC in January 2000. website.

Of course, there are not many other websites at this time, but eBay’s development speed and development model still need to be affirmed. In February, it created the first 24-hour service in the country. In March, it reached a strategic cooperation with Sina. In May, it acquired 5291 mobile phone direct sales network. Quickly promote the fashion of online shopping.

EBay is indeed the representative of China’s first batch of e-commerce. If it were not for eBay Holdings to start Western-style marketing that is not suitable for China, perhaps eBay’s achievements would be even greater.

The fast-growing eBay has done a particularly important thing during this summer vacation, that is, eBay launched its personal online shop business in July. What makes people even more concerned is that the number of registrations exceeded 5,000 in one week.

Meng Qian, who reads the newspaper every day and pays attention to the news, is sensitively aware that the curtain of the era of online trading has been opened.

So Meng Qian has been thinking about what he can do with this Dongfeng in recent days.

Now that eBay has opened a personal online store business, his own card can also be sold on eBay, but after weighing it, Meng Qian temporarily gave up this option.

Maybe it was influenced by the ecological concept of later generations. Meng Qian wanted to do another thing, a game portal.

The first is because there are no well-known game portals such as 17173 for later generations, and the market is blank. The second is because the forum of “God’s Biography” is very active. Now as a game portal, Meng Qian can directly graft the forum to it. The third reason is that Meng Qian wants to install a mall on the game portal. This mall now sells point cards. In the future, he can also sell peripherals and the like.

For Meng Qian, he is very clear about his position. He can’t afford to be a comprehensive e-commerce platform like Taobao, but with the help of the popular application of “God’s Biography”, he can only use e-commerce in game-related industries to create a game portal. Can try.

As for who will sell the card in the future, naturally, it will be given to the agent. For Meng Qian, the agent route is because the agent route can help him quickly spread the market, because they have their own team, because they All have Internet cafe industry resources, because they can focus on one market, because they can help the company withdraw funds in advance wholesale.

In short, the benefits of the agency model are obvious, and this is why later generations of game companies adopt the agency model.

The advantages and disadvantages of direct operation and agency are things that are on the stage. The advantage of direct operation, that is, the disadvantages of agency, is more in traditional industries. The point card is different. There is no so-called product quality problem, there is no so-called so-called There is no after-sales problem because of the price dispute of Meng Qian, so after verifying for a period of time, Meng Qian at least has no regrets about this choice.

But the agent helped the company so much. Meng Qian couldn’t start looting their wool just because online trading took off. This was not only ugly but also unethical, so he decided to buy cards online in this market. For the agent, only the discount will change a little.

After determining the direction, on August 31, Meng Qian selected several people from the technical department to prepare the game portal, and at the same time asked the promotion department to send a message to the agents. The company will hold the first agent conference, which is scheduled for September. 19th.

Early in the morning of September 1, Meng Qian started typing code with everyone. At this time, everyone in Dafeng Technology Innovation, including Meng Qian himself, did not know what would happen tonight.

September 1, 2000, the national school day, but September 1 of this year happens to be a little special, because it is Friday.

A dormitory of Hangzhou University of Science and Technology.

“You don’t know “The Legend of God”?”

“As soon as I got home, my mother arranged to go to work. How can I go to Internet cafes.”

“Since I found a girlfriend, I have never had any money. I used to think that my girlfriend was used to drain my body, but now I understand that my girlfriend used to drain my wallet.”

“I have long advised you not to fall in love, isn’t it good to have the money to play “The Legend of God”? Isn’t it more interesting than a woman?”

“Is this game so fun as you said?”

“After listening to the secretary’s speech in the afternoon, I will take you to the Internet cafe to feel it. It’s not fun. I will sleep for you tonight!”

…

He County Senior High School, between classes.

“You guys have been talking about “The Legend of God” for a day, are you so excited?”

“You people who haven’t played before will not understand. At night, we plan to wait for parents to get out of bed. Shall we take you to feel it? Afterwards, everyone can get together to play ten people.”

“Sure, anyway, tomorrow weekend.”

…

Similar scenes were staged in major colleges, high schools, junior high schools and elementary schools across the country.

On the evening of September 1st, in Hangzhou, the Internet cafes that were a bit cold because of the beginning of school ushered in the first crowds. After everyone went to the Internet cafes, they clicked on “God’s Biography” tacitly.

At ten o’clock in the evening, several big Internet cafes in Hangzhou are already full of people, and at least two or three people are standing behind each seat.

“Why are there so many people today?” Even the owner of the Internet cafe was a little surprised.

“Your configuration can’t fight the dark bear, at least you need to bring another treatment.”

“Take this medicine and you will definitely die.”

“Go grab the ancient alien beast, now everyone has gone to clean up the secret hideout, it is better to go to the ancient alien beast to try your luck.”

“Fucking the powder package, the whole server seems to have only a dozen powder packages!”

Although many people didn’t grab a spot, they were in harmony while standing on the side watching and chatting.

Hangcheng has always been the hottest city in “God’s Biography”, so the popularity of this night is easier to be accepted.

But in some small cities, many Internet cafes usually do not have a good business at night, but this evening, the same scene is staged all over the country, even if it is only a fourth- and fifth-tier city, as long as there are Internet cafes, a large number of them will flood in. Old and new players of “The Legend of God”.

At four o’clock in the morning, Dafeng Tech was in chaos.

“President Meng, all the backup servers are up, but it is estimated that it won’t last long!” Wei Pengtian frowned tightly.

Meng Qian grabbed the phone and said nothing, he was waiting for the call.

At 4:30 in the morning, Li Qi brought a car of servers to the downstairs of Dafeng Kechuang.

“President Li, thank you so much this time.” Meng Qian sincerely thanked Li Qi.

Li Qi waved his hand indifferently, “My friend happens to be doing server leasing, otherwise he won’t have a chance to help you, let’s go, I will also help and move up quickly.”

Meng Qian wanted to stop, but Li Qi got started directly, and Meng Qian couldn’t say anything.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, after a busy night, the eyes of all Dafeng Technology Innovations are shining with passion Meng Meng, the latest data, last night, the number of game registrations was 1.13 million, the highest The number of people online at the same time reached…370,000! “Song Zhenluo looked at the backstage with a clear tremor in his tone.

At this moment, Chai Qian from the Promotion Department came to the company, “Meng, from last night to now, the total amount of wholesale agents nationwide has exceeded 1.5 million!”

The one who came in behind Chai Jing was Sun Xiaojing in high heels.

At this moment, everyone in Dafeng Technology is staring at Meng Qian, and they are waiting for Meng Qian to say something, including Li Qi who is sitting aside.

From the start of the “Biography” project to the present, everyone is waiting for the game to break out, and for the company to make a profit. This summer game has been moving forward steadily, but maybe it’s too stable, and it’s not a stone in everyone’s heart. lay down.

Until this night, everyone’s heart was finally determined that “The Legend of God” was a success! Your own efforts will not be disappointed!

looked around, Meng Qian slowly said, “Is it cool?”

“Cool!!!”

“Are you sleepy yet?”

“Not sleepy anymore!!!”

“If you don’t feel sleepy, continue to work.”

“Cut ”

Everyone showed various dislikes, but in their hearts, they were extremely firm in believing that Meng Qian would definitely give them what they deserve.

Perhaps due to various reasons, everything on this night, although many forums are hotly discussed, will not be reported by the official media, and the social impact is not much. It is just that in the game, which is now unacceptable, it Shined.

But after many years, on September 1, 2000, hundreds of millions of people will talk about it. They call this day:

The night when God descends.
