Chapter 382 Planning
Yang Zhi’s college entrance examination is over. Nothing worth talking about happened during the period. It was as dull as a monthly exam.

For Yang Zhi, her first eighteen years could not be considered perfect, but since she had already handed in the answer sheet, everything after that was a new beginning.

Yang Zhi learned Xu Mingyuan’s attitude towards the rest of his life. He also wanted to leisurely lie in front of the computer to watch movies or play games.

But some things have been engraved in her bones. Yang Zhi feels that this lazy posture is very uncomfortable. She straightens her back unconsciously while sitting, and even feels uncomfortable when she half leans on the back of the chair.

There was nothing to watch in the movie. Whether it was a comedy or a drama, Yang Zhi was bored. Every time she watched it, she would be in a daze. When she came back to her senses and continued watching, the plot of the movie had already skipped and she could no longer catch up.

As for horror movies, Yang Zhi would definitely not watch them. She would not sit around doing nothing and make herself uncomfortable. Even a glance at the movie posters would make her feel scary.

If you don’t like watching movies, then there is nothing to play in games. Yang Zhi logged into his account and played two rounds of QQ Hall. When he saw the ridicule and shouting on the public screen, he would frown and quit the game.

Without Xu Mingyuan, she was afraid she would never be able to play again.

The only thing Yang Zhi could play was the Famicom game Bomb Man. It was the first time she had ever played a game in her life, and she could still play it for a while.

It’s just that playing games is very boring, and Yang Zhi also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time he wants to blow up all the destructible walls, he will choose to move on to the next level. If he does this, he will definitely not have enough time.

After getting the life of happiness and indulging in a daze that she had always dreamed of, Yang Zhi suddenly found that it was not as good as she had imagined.

Maybe it’s because I got it too easily, so I don’t cherish it that much…

……

As for Xu Mingyuan, he stayed with Xiao Yangzhi until she finished the college entrance examination, then returned to Jiangcheng.

Xiao Yangzhi finished high school, but he still had more than a month of classes to go. He also took a week off because there were some things waiting for him to deal with in the company.

Things at Starry Sky Technology have been dealt with, and Classmates.com has recruited a new group of employees, who are mainly engaged in the development of web games.

Since 05, web games have been booming, and this year, they have become an emerging trend.

Web games are low-development, low-cost, and high-return projects.

The sudden emergence of a group of small companies entering the market made it impossible for large online game companies to achieve a monopoly. Seeing this opportunity, Xu Mingyuan naturally would not let it go.

The main reason is that the development model of Tongxue.com has always relied on internal transfusions. With the increase in the number of users, it is necessary to achieve internal circulation and feed back Xu Mingyuan’s money.

Classmates.com already has its own profit model. The earliest game separated from the Starry Sky mobile phone was a martial arts sticker text version of the game, which was a product made by former employees.

Later, the content was expanded and used as a profit point for the classmate website, and the response was good.

Xu Mingyuan’s energy has long been away from the Alumni Network, but as a weather vane of the company, he still visits the Alumni Network from time to time.

The new version of the web game is based on the Three Kingdoms theme and is a strategy game with a simple name, called “Three Kingdoms Battle”.

As the chief planner, Xu Mingyuan had already given the copy to Tongxue.com.

Game development is not difficult, the only difficulty is optimization.

The target customers of this type of web games are not entirely college students, but office workers, mainly wealthy middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.

Since we are targeting office workers, broken computers are the mainstream. After all, this group currently has no idea about computer configuration, and many people spend a lot of money to buy low-spec second-hand products.

In order to get these people to pay, Xu Mingyuan specially asked Li Yunfeng to buy a few broken office computers. When the system can run smoothly on these computers, it will be put online again.

Xu Mingyuan has spent a lot of energy and he must be trying to make money. He will never miss out on any gift packages like the 6 yuan first recharge package and the 688 yuan recharge gift.

There are also many cheating tricks like server rolling and merging.

You also need to spend some money on advertising, preferably pop-up ads on portal websites, the more annoying the better.

There is no need for pop-up ads on classmates’ websites. College students have the most free time, and if they have a web game as a secondary game, they will probably click on it to take a look.

Xu Mingyuan does not need the college students to pay much money. It is enough for him to occupy a field for the rich players in the game to serve as an NPC. The tolerance of current players is very high. As long as there is a free game to play, they will not make any extra demands.

Since the tolerance level is high, Xu Mingyuan will ask players to be more tolerant. After all, he is not a good person.

In the afternoon, Xu Mingyuan had a meeting in the studio of Classmate.com.

From the beginning to the end, Classmates.com never moved to Star Technology Park.

The reason for paying an extra rent was not entirely because the studio was close to Jiangda, but because Xu Mingyuan did not want to absorb Classmates.com into the core of Star Technology Park.

After all, from the day that Classmates.com was founded, Xu Mingyuan’s plan was to wait for the right price and sell it out at the right time.

Once integrated into Starry Sky Technology, it will be troublesome to separate in the future, so it is better to continue like this. “Boss, this is the Guo Hang I told you about, a master in Java development, and he is very good at C language and C++. The underlying code of our Three Kingdoms was developed by him.”

Li Yunfeng brought a 28- or 29-year-old man with glasses into the office and introduced him to Xu Mingyuan.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, a lot about you.” Xu Mingyuan stood up and shook his hand, saying, “I heard that you are a top student who graduated from the computer science department of Peking University or Tsinghua University. Why do you want to work at Classmates.com?”

“I’ve heard of your name for a long time, but I don’t deserve to be called a master. I just saw the recruitment information on my classmates’ website and thought of giving it a try.” Guo Hang said with a smile.

“Most of the people on the classmates network are students from Jiangnan University. I usually call everyone senior. If you don’t mind, how about I call you senior too?” Xu Mingyuan looked at him and said.

Although Guo Hang is a science and engineering guy, his behavior is not as dull as most science and engineering guys. Generally, the more technical a person is, the more introverted his personality is. People like him are quite rare.

“Boss, please feel free to call me anything.” Guo Hang said.

“Senior, I’m curious about one thing. With your level, you shouldn’t be short of jobs, right? The salary offered by the classmates website is not high. Why do you want to work here?” Xu Mingyuan asked.

“I think the model of Classmates.com is very novel, especially the algorithm between acquaintances…”

Guo Hang talked about technical issues and explained the reason for coming here.

Xu Mingyuan was confused when he heard about technology. He was an investor and a boss, so how could he understand this aspect? It was enough for him to just know what was useful and what was useless.

But Xu Mingyuan still listened to his speech patiently, and understood the general idea in his mind, so he said to him: “Oh, you want to come here to learn, then do you have the idea of ​​starting your own business?”

“I don’t have any ideas about starting a business at the moment,” said Guo Hang.

“That’s right. The original underlying code of Classmates.com was developed by Li Guangyu and his team. He is not here now. He is responsible for the development of the mobile terminal. If you are interested in developing a mobile phone system, you can give it a try.”

“Mobile operating system?” Guo Hang was stunned.

“Yes, currently mobile phones are still feature phones, but in the future, intelligent systems will definitely be the mainstream. Mobile phones in the future will be like computers, allowing users to install software at will, instead of using whatever is in the phone as it is now…”

Xu Mingyuan explained it and drew a picture of it.

As long as they don’t want to start their own business, Xu Mingyuan doesn’t want to transfer the talents he has trained to other companies.

Classmates.com is not only a gold brick that Xu Mingyuan wants to sell, but is also mainly responsible for the technology delivery to Star Technology.

In the future, most high-tech companies will have to adopt a semi-Internet model, with the real industry as the foundation, and the Internet is also indispensable.

“At least three years?” Guo Hang asked.

“That’s right. We also need to sign a confidentiality agreement.” Xu Mingyuan replied.

“Let me think about it.”

“It’s okay, you can think about it seriously. If you want to stay in the classmate network, we are still very welcome.” Xu Mingyuan said.

After chatting for a while and waiting for Guo Hang to leave, Xu Mingyuan said to Li Yunfeng, “Brother Feng, thank you very much. If he can persuade you, then he can. If not, then forget it.”

“It’s a small matter. I will try my best. I think he came here to learn technology. If I can send it to Star Technology for him, I will definitely not hide it.” Li Yunfeng said.

“Don’t worry, Star Technology will always keep a position for you. When we have enough manpower, I will let you come back.” Xu Mingyuan stood up and said.

“Boss, I’m fine with anything. Classmates.com is short of people, so I never thought about going back to the company early.”

“Work hard. Star Technology is short of a lot of people. Sooner or later, you will be in charge of the project.” Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

“Okay, boss, I’ll take you there.”

Seeing Xu Mingyuan was about to leave, Li Yunfeng stood up to see him off.

As one of the oldest employees who followed Xu Mingyuan, Li Yunfeng knew very well what he wanted to do.

For Xu Mingyuan, Classmate.com is equivalent to the Whampoa Military Academy he founded. Every time he recruits a group of people, the most technically skilled employees will eventually go to Star Technology.

This was not a good thing for the development of the classmate network, but Li Yunfeng still withstood the pressure and did it.

And this is what Xu Mingyuan saw in him: he is reliable, capable of great use, and has plenty of opportunities in the future.

In terms of career, Xu Mingyuan has always had plans. The only difficulty may be life…
