The original owner of the house made a layout of four bedrooms and one living room. Xu Tingsheng arranged one bedroom for himself and one for Xiao Xiang Ning. He was afraid that she might come over for a nap once in a while, at least that's what he expected.
There are two rooms left, one has been turned into a study, a part-time workshop, and the other is a guest room.
He and Huang Yaming finished the rest of the red wine, arranged for him to go to the guest room, and Xu Tingsheng went back to the room and slept until dawn.
On September 10, 2005, my country's Teacher's Day and World Suicide Prevention Day, these two together really have a profound meaning.
It seems that we must find some fun.
At 11 a.m., Happy Farm was officially launched on Weibo, and the application add-ons appeared on the left side of the page, allowing users to choose independently without destroying Weibo's own functions and the overall layout of the page.
The advertising slogan on Xingchen is very arrogant: the people first, casual games in the new era.
Note: The game is for leisure.
Of course, whether this note is a false advertisement and whether the game is really casual depends on each person's own attitude.
In order to keep calm, Xu Tingsheng asked He Yutan to report the data to him once an hour.
In the first hour after the game was launched, 120,000 people loaded the Happy Farm app on Weibo, and 70,000 of them had seeding operations, which is only a little more than half.
Considering Weibo's user base and the nature of the game itself, this result is far from popular, and it should even be considered bad.
Most of the young people in Weibo are playing large-scale online games or real-time battle games at this stage. It is not normal for naive casual games like farms at first.
In addition, there is another part, which may be the same as Xu Tingsheng's own previous life. At first, he clicked it and felt childish, so he let it go.
On the phone, he comforted He Yutan and told him to be patient and confident. Xu Tingsheng was actually trying to cheer himself up. He knew very well the popularity of the game itself in his previous life, but if the time and platform were changed, would the result still be the same
Xu Tingsheng was also a little apprehensive.
The group effect is the root of this game's popularity. At present, this effect has not yet manifested. Xu Tingsheng is waiting.
The data is reported once an hour. Regardless of whether He Yutan is getting more and more excited, and whether the data is growing faster or not, Xu Tingsheng just can't look back. He is checking Weibo until night, until he finds the hottest topic on Weibo. become:
Ask for attention, ask for mutual relationship, attention must be returned, steal food together...
As a big V who has been working on Weibo for the longest time and now has the most fans, Apple also posted the latest Weibo at the top of her Weibo: "Please pay attention, let's steal food together".
This is the first time Apple has asked for attention.
Finally, when he called his friends, and finally waited until the player took the initiative to abbreviate Happy Farm as "Stealing Vegetables", Xu Ting heaved a sigh of relief and called He Yutan to inform everyone except the staff on duty. People go home to sleep.
The group effect finally came out. The plot of the internal test was reproduced on a larger scale without any hindrance. Happy Farm, like the wave class, swept a large number of users. Some of them were just bored and tried it on their own. Yes, it was simply drawn in by relatives and friends.
The "half-year childish period for all people" is inevitable, and it will finally come, so Xu Tingsheng can sleep peacefully.
When I woke up the next day, the game loading data reached 2.7 million in a blowout manner, and the farm cultivation rate reached more than 80%.
One day, 2.7 million gamers, what is the concept in this era
Although taking advantage of Weibo's huge user base, taking advantage of the game's own leisure attributes and non-independent clients, this data is still amazing.
Xu Tingsheng knew that it would soon be even more astonishing.
Asking He Yutan, who was constantly yelling on the phone, to stop the hourly data report, Xu Tingsheng went out to buy a la carte, made his own lunch, packed up his things, and prepared to report back to school the next day.
Hu Shengming made several phone calls a day, urging Xu Tingsheng to put in fertilizer props, but Xu Tingsheng's caliber remained unchanged: "Wait until the active users reach 10 million before putting it in. I have to be prepared to lose one-third of the users because of this, but still not harm the overall situation. , dare to start."
"You are actually waiting for more people to become addicted."
Hu Shengming's words directly exposed his true thoughts.
The next night, all 602 got together. They were away for a few summer vacations. They didn't know Xu Tingsheng's injury experience. They asked Xu Tingsheng carefully and asked him to take off his clothes to check the scars on his back...
"It's not that serious. How can you say that you've been in a coma for several days?" Lu Xu said looking at the scar on the plastic surgery side.
"It was treated, plastic surgery, and it was specially done in the United States. At that time, I couldn't watch it anymore, and the whole piece was rotten..." Tan Yao lit a cigarette and explained aside. Regarding the issue of Xiao Xiang Ning, it may be because he was afraid of "a certain The "beast" couldn't bear it, so he and Lao Wai didn't bother to mention it for the time being.
Zhang Ninglang seriously and worriedly told Xu Tingsheng to be careful in the future.
On the other side, Li Xingmin suddenly yelled: "Damn it, I'm done."
After taking a few steps back to the computer, he screamed: "Old Wai, you XX stole my food, why didn't you remind me to collect the food after stealing it?!"
Lao Wai smiled and said, "Then hurry up."
Li Xingmin picked up the mouse, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait, let me know that Yang Yang came to steal it before taking it."
Xu Tingsheng found out that he still used QQ to make "notifications". How to change this is really difficult.
For five days, Xu Tingsheng attended five days of classes at the school. From the classmates, teachers, and alumni around him, he truly experienced the popularity of Happy Farm. Whether it was verbal disdain, eager discussions, and mutual concern...
The atmosphere of the whole people stealing food really came out.
At 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, He Yutan collected the data of Happy Farm's operation for a week and sent it to Xu Tingsheng.
The loading volume is 23 million, the active users are more than 70%, and the hot topic continues to occupy the first place in the Weibo rankings...
Posting screenshots of farms and asking for attention has become the most common Weibo content.
The frequency of mutual fans and interactions on Weibo has increased significantly, and the average number of account followers and times of being followed have soared.
Xu Tingsheng searched the Internet, and all kinds of jokes and PS pictures related to stealing vegetables came out. News about civil servants stealing vegetables at work also began to appear in the news media. Some experts and scholars began to jump out to accuse Happy Farm of affecting normal life...
Everything reappears as in the previous life.
"Let's put in fertilizer and props." Xu Tingsheng called He Yutan and said calmly.
"Are you a little anxious about this?" He Yutan hesitated.
"In any case, a batch will be lost, and the price of our props is low. There are daily gifts for Weibo members, and there is a chance of obtaining them through accidental events. There is a daily limit, which narrows the gap caused by the use of props. , I believe the impact will not be too great... "
Xu Tingsheng explained.
Xu Tingsheng remembered that there were dogs on the farm in his previous life, to prevent theft, and to catch thieves to get gold coins...Do you want a dog? Regarding this point, Xu Tingsheng only hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely gave up... This is an event that extremely affects the player's enjoyment, and it is the most complete damage to the game itself.
He would only consider it at the end of the farm's operation, when he was exhausted for the last time.
Xu Tingsheng also chose to give up the prop card for automatically cleaning up farm diseases and insect pests and watering.
More and more props, in order to earn a little more damage the life of the game itself and damage the reputation, this is the lesson Xu Tingsheng learned from the QQ farm in his previous life...
As a matter of fact, in Xu Tingsheng's memory, too many people gave up the game because of the appearance of the dog. The thrill of stealing vegetables has turned into fear, and the fun has plummeted...
Abandonment is inevitable.
In his previous life, Xu Tingsheng himself completely gave up at this stage. Even if his interest faded before, he still maintained the leisure of planting and harvesting when he was bored at get off work.
"By the way, brother Tan, please sort out the data of new Weibo users for me. It should be divided into age groups... Yes, I know that many people's information may not be true, just have a general idea. I'm sorry to trouble you."
An hour later, the Happy Farm props store was launched...
There was a lot of scolding, and then, a lot of money... The accumulated consumption of a few cents per person, the income of the item mall in the first hour of its launch, exceeded 100,000...
After a short period of excitement, Xu Tingsheng put aside the concept of money. What he really cared about the most, the data of new Weibo users was finally sorted out and sent.
Happy Farm opened for a week, the inherent growth of Weibo itself, coupled with the drainage effect mainly from Happy Farm, added 20 million new users, and Star Weibo has now completed 100 million registered users.
Among the new users, the proportion of people under the age of 18 is as high as 50%, and the proportion of people over the age of 45 is unexpectedly 18%.
This is younger siblings, sons and daughters, nephews and nieces, classmates... boyfriends, girlfriends, spare tires, ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends... parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, grandparents, seven aunts and eight aunts... Let's come together up.
"Close interaction crowd... finally waiting for you."
Xu Tingsheng raised his fist and raised his arms, laughing alone in the room.
Regardless of whether these people are actively participating or being pulled in, the next key is to wait for more influx of such people, and at the same time find a way to keep them, as long as these people can be tied, let them get used to and rely on This attribute has gradually been different from the Weibo of the previous life...
In the future, Xu Tingsheng can be like QQ in his previous life, and on this basis, he can do everything with twice the result with half the effort...
Following that, he will be able to fully take the lead and take the initiative at the turning point of the era of wireless Internet access.
There are many people who are paying attention to these in-depth information in front of the computer at the same time, such as everyone in Tianyi, such as Tencent and other Internet communication companies, portal websites, companies that are about to launch Weibo or similar products... and Lu Zhixin...
They can't get accurate data, but they can make rough guesses based on experience and their team, including guessing sales, profitability, user growth, activity, and even the composition of new user groups, changes in Weibo ecology...
For these industry insiders, the conclusions of all speculations are very chilling.
"His investment in game development will not exceed 200,000?"
"I think 150,000 is almost the same."
Someone communicated for a while, and then the people in the industry began to sigh with emotion.
"It turns out that this is fine... We spent tens of millions for the sake of the user base, and the effect may not be half as good..."
"It's the second time for a small soldier to make a great contribution...First he delivered food, and then he stole food. Xu Tingsheng is a kid who specializes in playing tricks and finding new ways, but he always succeeds... There is nothing to do with him."
"Do you think he will sell this copyright?"
"Idiots only sell it. I guess whoever imitates too much will have to pounce on him... You forget, his original Hucheng is the one who deals lawyer letters like poker cards. He is known as the number one in the domestic business community." A lawsuit against the madman..."
"..."
At this stage in China, the protection of intellectual property rights is very unfavorable, but that mostly means that the weak party basically has no way to take the strong party. It is not so easy to talk between companies of similar magnitude.
Now that several companies in Xu Tingsheng's hands are combined, who dares to say that he is not big enough
Someone weighed it up, and said helplessly: "Even if someone is not afraid of trouble, with Weibo's current user base and other people doing it, it will take three to four weeks at the fastest. The chances are not great..."
The fact is that the pattern of this contest is completely different from the previous state where Teng Xun could play however he wanted.
After receiving phone calls one after another, and receiving congratulatory text messages that almost filled his mailbox, Xu Tingsheng became increasingly sleepy.
"The next question is how to keep these people and tie them up."
The scene where Li Xingmin used QQ to inform others to steal vegetables had a great impact on Xu Tingsheng.
