Chapter 132: A big smorgasbord
Natsui Makoto cooked a large pot of instant noodles and added ham sausage, vegetable leaves, and a miscellany of other things to it, just like a smorgasbord.
Before she placed the pot on top of the small round table, she also found a book to use as a cushion. Two empty bowls and two pairs of chopsticks were set out.
Since Natsui Makoto had been living a small life all by herself, she really didn’t think that someone would come and eat with her like this. All along, she only had one pair of chopsticks and bowls. As for the other set of dishes, it was still borrowed from a neighbor.
“You can use mine!” Natsui Makoto said bluntly without the slightest hesitation.
“It’s more hygienic for you, a girl, to use your own chopsticks. I’ll just use this set of dishes you borrowed from someone else.
Besides, I’ve been eating out for a long time as a person, so I’ve kind of eaten all the elements that are already on the periodic table and those that are yet to be discovered inside my belly.
My belly is a culture vessel for a colony.” Justice Kishimoto stroked his belly with the palm of his right hand and smiled in disagreement.
“You might as well use mine!” Natsui Makoto repeated.
“There are plenty of ways for you to show your love for me, so why do you have to stick to this one? Actually, my favorite …… you know.” Masayoshi Kishimoto had already picked up the dishes she had borrowed from the neighbor’s house and started them while playfully saying.
Seeing that he had started eating, Natsui Makoto no longer insisted. Immediately, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and instead of chucking things into her own bowl, she took the good things inside the pot, such as ham and sausage and other meats were voluntarily chucked into his bowl.
Masayoshi Kishimoto did not reject her kindness, and accepted openly, “Can you take a leave of absence? Accompany me on a trip to China Flower City.”
Natsui Makoto froze for a moment at his sudden invitation, then quickly recovered and said, “You’re going on a business trip, what are you taking me for?”
“It’s not exactly a business trip, think of it as me taking you out of the country for some fun.” Masayoshi Kishimoto’s original initial intention was to go to Pengcheng to meet Xiao Ma.
However, after much deliberation on his part, it was better to call it quits. The reasoning was that the penguin had yet to be established, so what kind of thing was it for him to proactively approach the door like this?
He decided to delay the time backward to the year 2000. This year is the first network bubble began to sweep the entire Chinese Internet.
Tencent entered the most difficult period, in the face of financial difficulties, had nearly developed ICQ software to 600,000 yuan price to sell to the Shenzhen Telecom Data Bureau, but ultimately because of the price of the collapse.
At that time, he went to find the small horse to talk about investment, not only will be half the effort, but also will be regarded as a life-saving straw.
Kishimoto justice to enter mainland China’s first stop from Pengcheng changed to Huadu, is that NetEase has already been established. It was established in June, 1997, the time.
In October 1998, he was in the present time. At this time, NetEase is still far from being big and strong, and is in urgent need of external funds to strengthen its own strength.
In Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, the two horses have not yet risen to fame, China’s Internet “Three Musketeers” are Sina’s Wang Zhidong, Sohu’s Zhang Chaoyang, NetEase Ding Lei.
Twenty years later, Sina has changed ownership, and Wang Zhidong’s name has basically disappeared from the public’s view. For the public, the loudest name is either Jack Ma, or Ma Huateng.
Sohu’s Zhang Chaoyang is to keep the middle in the flat, like when the “Three Musketeers” ranked second in the center. Sohu is not too successful in entering the online game industry, the most outstanding is the “Dragon 8”. The profit model of this game is to imitate Shi Yuzhu’s “ZT Online”.
Many people worship Shi Yuzhu because he is also considered grassroots and science class origin, with their own ability and talent to the top? As a matter of fact, Kishimoto Justice’s mind to its evaluation, he is full of the lord of that kind of banditry.
Even he himself said in CCTV2 entrepreneurship competition “on the road” personally, he is the wild card. It is not the university but the society that exercises people the most.
Kishimoto justice as a network game player’s point of view, hate Shi Yuzhu, is that he put the network game industry’s entire atmosphere are beginning to completely bring bad.
Mainland China’s network game companies one by one there is in the game, is completely in the money. In the “ZT Online” did not play a permanent free time, the mainstream mode of operation of network games is point card charges.
At that time, for the Chinese people who generally do not have personal computers, is undoubtedly a two-way charge, after all, to go to the Internet cafe to pay for Internet access, playing games to buy point card also have to pay.
I vaguely remember, in July 2001 on the line of the “Golden Age of Chivalry OL” (which is also an originator of online games, than the “hot blooded legend” 2 months earlier than the market), a CD-ROM with installation plus CD-KEY, there are a certain number of point card time, it is only 19 yuan.
It had an event promotion where the point card plus a short package with virtual props for the game was less than $40, only $38, and the deluxe package was only $58.
This game is an online game developed by Taiwan’s China Netdragon and represented by Longtu Zhiku. Even when Japanese and Korean online games led by “Hot Blooded Legend” were killing it, completely dominating and occupying the mainland Chinese online game market, it was the only one to snatch back some of the market and save a little bit of face for the domestic game.
Even the later “Jiuyin Zhenjing OL”, but also in many places borrowed from the “Jin Yong Qunzhuan OL” inside the gameplay and creativity.
Later on, there was a monthly card package, and the monthly card for Swordsman’s Edge 1 Network Edition was only 30 yuan. Even so, for some players still regarded as an economic burden, resulting in the game inside the virtual currency and point card or monthly card trading props generation.
The journey” to make money when the most bullish, to what extent? That is, “Fantasy Westward Journey” plus “World of Warcraft” are not as much as it earns in a year.
As a result, all the game companies in mainland China were envious and jealous, their eyes were spitting fire, wishing that their own games could also be as hot as ZT Online, making fast money, so that they could be filled with money.
The birth of ZT Online was the production team that Shi Yuzhu had poached from Chen Tianqiao’s Shanda Online Game Company.
This is a Chen Tianqiao almost abandoned team, the use of the early years of development of the “Great Tang Dynasty OL” as the basis for the most lucrative later generations of “ZT Online”.
For some people who were born afterward to say what “Dragon 8” is the most money, it is simply bullshit. I don’t know that it is imitating the profit model of ZT Online.
When ZT Online officially launched, it was 2006. A few tens of thousands of dollars smashed into it, not a single fart. People who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, big time inside the game was.
Even if you spent millions going down, there was still the phrase, don’t group him, he only spent over two million dollars. The person who spent tens of millions of dollars, is not without, more.
