The news that Mei Fang was making games actually reached Mei Fang's parents after the promotional video was played.
At first, Xiang Xiaoxia was very annoyed that Mei Fang did not concentrate on her studies and did all kinds of unproductive things. She even discussed with Liang Meijuan about asking her to take care of Mei Fang.
Mei Fang tried to persuade her in various ways at first, and then used her NOIP scores to finally appease her, and she also promised to maintain her scores in the final exam.
Now there is a deep generation gap between him and his parents. Although his father Mei Lijun doesn't care much about it, it is indeed difficult to explain to his mother.
Mei Fang is no longer a child. He knows that from his parents' perspective, it is normal to regard what he does as a waste of time. There is no need for him to lose his temper with his mother.
But the subsequent questions are also very torturous -
How can I tell my mother that my son has become an Internet upstart with a net worth of tens of millions
He always felt that if he told this to his mother, her mother would think that her son had joined some strange organization or was being used as a tool by someone.
So in the end, maybe Yuanyuan or Youxi will have to help him deal with his mother...
Looking at Mei Fang's legendary experience throughout the first semester of his sophomore year, Mei Fang exposed many of his identities in order to push Station C forward. It is already an unattainable thing for him to be an ordinary male high school student quietly without any interference and enjoy an ordinary youth romance story.
Sometimes the pressure from all levels makes him feel breathless.
But fortunately, he is not fighting alone, and his companions are still growing together.
After saying goodbye to his past self, Zhang Ming took the initiative to transfer to a parallel class after the summer vacation. During this period, his work enthusiasm during holidays increased a lot, and some of his talents were gradually discovered.
He is good at mathematics and has a good understanding of numerical calculations. His gaming experience is not rich but deep enough. His current level of ability has barely been promoted from an executive planner who does odd jobs to an entry-level numerical planner.
After the "Cloud Journey" project ended, Mei Fang allowed Guo Yun to rest for a while so that she could make progress in recovering her academic performance.
Guo Yun's ambition is to study at one of the eight major art academies, but her family knows little about this. Mei Fang helped her make some preparations and plans, and now she is also working hard in this direction.
After experiencing the trauma of CP collapse, Yue Xinyi concentrated on handling C Station related affairs. Although she was nominally the operations director, in fact she was learning things from some of the more experienced talents in her team. The staff on the Penguin side also provided Yue Xinyi with a lot of advice and help.
As for Peng Xue, except for a while of showing off because of Xia Yuan's victory at the beginning, she disappeared along with Yue Xinyi. Only her C station account is still active, posting some bass-related singing and playing tutorial videos.
Apart from studying, Liu Xiaoyu spends most of her time helping Xia Yuan compose melodies. Mei Fang now has almost no chance to be alone with her, and basically hears about her recent situation from Xia Yuan.
After being caught several times, Mei Fang would occasionally feel a little embarrassed when seeing Liu Xiaoyu, but they both tacitly understood each other and never mentioned it.
In the blink of an eye, 2012 has passed and 2013 has arrived.
The financing plan of C Station and Penguin was officially announced at the beginning of the year. The market saw this cooperation as Penguin's entry into the two-dimensional world and its confrontation with Shengda Network, the capital behind A Station.
Of course, this confrontation will not last too long, because the once prosperous Shengda Network will gradually fall apart within the next two years and become a dying candle in the wind.
Its gaming industry and technology industry will become independent Shengda Company and Shengqu Games;
Its game platform Bianfeng Games will also establish itself as the king with the thriving Three Kingdoms Killing OL;
And its layout in the field of online literature, Shengda Literature, will also usher in the final chapter. After leaving Shengda Network, it will become Penguin's most important IP incubation headquarters -
This is the origin of the well-known and well-known Yuewen Group.
Shengda Network is also a lost youth for Mei Fang in his previous life and young people of his age.
Once upon a time, Shengda Pass was also the most important virtual asset for domestic game players. Its status was not much lower than that of Penguin Account. To a large extent, the many achievements that Penguin has made in the entire entertainment field so far have been cannibalized by the fallen corpse of Shengda to get to where it is today.
The old overlords of the gaming industry are declining, while the new overlords are in their heyday. As a reborn person, Mei Fang started from scratch with Xia Yuan's ten dollars, and has barely kept up with the tide of the times. Although he can't reach the level of riding the waves, he is also following the penguin to ride the wind and waves.
After that, Station C will have to face direct competition from Station A and a brutal copyright war, so it needs some epoch-making changes.
The next most important update plan for Station C is the live broadcast function, which is also a new trend that the Internet industry is about to usher in in the near future.
In the near future, the first generation version of Douyu, the former live streamer, [Live Broadcast], will be released under the leadership of Chen Shaojie, the actual controller of A Station.
The early success of Douyu, the top live streaming platform, was largely due to the traffic from Station A, not to mention that it was originally a section of Station A.
Although Bilibili has not been launched, the A-station in this life is not much better than the A-station that Mei Fang saw in his previous life. A-station, the abandoned child of this era, may eventually go down the path of decline. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for C-station.
However, although Mei Fang has taken cautious steps towards marketization, the act of opening up barrage permission to informal members once caused a crisis of trust among core users.
Recently, some users have begun to discuss whether Miss has lost her original intention because of Penguin's financing. In the end, Mei Fang relied on the plan of limiting the number of barrages per day for informal members, which slightly calmed some public dissatisfaction.
Anyway, starting a business and working is really a difficult thing.
But after going through so much, it can be said that all the hard work has paid off, and this year's efforts have finally lived up to the expectations of most people.
After the end of the semester, Mei Fang was not in a hurry to return to his hometown. He had to organize and attend the first annual meeting of his company at Linxi Technology first. Mei Fang asked Sister Yueyue to prepare sufficiently generous annual meeting prizes, trying to attract more talents to join the company. He invited everyone to have a meal at a star-rated hotel, and spoke briefly on behalf of the three giants of C Station at the meeting.
Mei Fang does not like the cumbersome drinking table culture and organizational structure. This year, in addition to affirming everyone's efforts, he also promoted a small group of technical backbones to become the persons in charge of various functions of the website. Only the manager position is still vacant. Now he can only hope that Sister Yueyue can summon a powerful helper like uncle in this dimension to help Mei Fang promote the implementation of his plan.
In this Jiangcheng annual meeting, in addition to Liu Xiaoyu and Guo Yun who were originally on secondment in the company, classmates Wan Chaoxiong and Zhu Nainai also attended, which could be regarded as an opportunity for them to see the world.
The employees of Station C are enjoying the annual meeting organized by their high school student boss. The benefits accrued to each employee will become their sense of belonging, and they believe that they will have a brighter future following the station master.
As for the year-end bonus, the company's members will have it directly deposited into their cards; as for the members he has trained, Mei Fang plans to return and give them the bonuses like he did last year. This special care will ensure that Yue Xinyi, Peng Xue and others who did not participate in the annual meeting will not feel lost due to lack of participation.
After the annual meeting, everyone started preparing to go home for the New Year. Liu Xiaoyu was taking the bus back to Baimei County this afternoon, so he was quite rushed to attend the annual meeting.
However, before leaving, Liu Xiaoyu took the initiative to find Mei Fang, asked about the distribution of the year-end bonus, and put forward a small request.
"Can I get an advance on this year's bonus?"
"Of course you can, but I'm afraid you don't have enough money to pack it. You'll have to use a school bag to put it in."
"No... cash is fine."
"Haha, just kidding."
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyu was in a hurry, Mei Fang contacted the finance department to transfer the money to Liu Xiaoyu's card in advance. After handling all this, Mei Fang asked her, "Is there something wrong at home?"
Liu Xiaoyu shook his head: "Not really... I just thought that this money could be used to pay off the family's debts and reduce the burden a little."
"Well... that's good. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me again."
Liu Xiaoyu smiled and replied, "No need... I have already received a lot of care from you guys... I am really grateful that you can create so many amazing things and give me this opportunity to participate in them."
"Don't say we are yours. You have contributed to all these great achievements. Don't be so polite."
Although Mei Fang would give preferential treatment to his friends, he would never keep idle people in the company. He was very satisfied with Liu Xiaoyu's work attitude and efficiency, and he believed that Liu Xiaoyu deserved the praise.
Thinking of this, Mei Fang pondered for a while, "However, if you are tired of helping Yuanyuan and want to make some achievements of your own, we will also provide you with more independent development opportunities, which is also what Yuanyuan expects."
Liu Xiaoyu waved his hands after hearing this: "I won't get tired of making things with Yuanyuan! I think I can learn a lot..."
“Haha… I’m just giving an example, but what I’ve learned can probably be presented on a better stage.”
Mei Fang said, "I remember you said before that you were very interested in Yuanyuan's band. If you have any ideas, I will support you like I supported Peng Xue... Of course, you should have quite a bit of savings now. In short, it all depends on your own career plan. I think now is the time to consider these things."
"Well... I understand. I will seriously consider it." Liu Xiaoyu lowered his head and responded, then raised his head and smiled at Mei Fang, "Thank you, Mei Fang."
Great, typing on time.
