"President Lei, it's really expensive. I should be the one paying."
"What do you mean by 'you're paying'? I'm the one paying in my territory."
"Come on, try the authentic Fish Head with Chopped Hot Red Peppers here."
At 7 p.m., Gu Yongqiang arrived on time.
"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"
"It's too spicy."
"It has to be spicy. People from Wu Province love spicy food."
"Try this one. This sweet and sour pork ribs is not spicy. It should suit your taste."
"Well, not bad. This one is good."
"Fortunately, I ordered some non-spicy ones. Otherwise, you would have to watch me eat it today."
"President Lei, you've spent a lot."
Gu Yongqiang said gratefully and then stopped after tasting it.
He didn't come here to eat today. He came here to talk about cooperation.
"Well, President Lei, we'd better sign the contract."
"Hey, President Gu, you're just eating. Don't talk about business."
"Okay, okay. It's my fault. Let's eat."
Since Lei Jun said so, Gu Yongqiang stopped talking and focused on eating with Lei Jun.
It was just that this meal took a long time. Although there were only five or six people, they ate for more than two hours.
Of course, it wasn't just eating.
During the meal, Lei Jun and Gu Yongqiang chatted about everything.
They talked about where the food was delicious.
This restaurant was actually ordinary today. They would bring President Gu to eat delicious food next time.
They talked about where it was fun. They even said that they found a fun place.
After eating, they would go to have fun together.
Two hours passed just like that. Lei Jun really took Gu Yongqiang to have fun.
"President Gu, let's go to karaoke."
"Ah, there's karaoke."
"It's rare for you to come here. Also, there's a brother who came with you. If we don't have fun, we'll let you down."
"Let's sign the contract before going."
"I said we won't talk about business when we're having fun. President Gu, don't be a killjoy."
"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about business. Let's sing."
He pulled Gu Yongqiang and ran to karaoke.
"Sister, you sit at the front of the boat. I'll walk on the shore …"
After three or four hours of crying and howling in the karaoke, it was already 11 or 12 o 'clock.
"President Lei Jun, about the contract?"
After finally finishing the song, Gu Yongqiang, who was a little drunk, brought up the contract again.
Lei Jun interrupted Gu Yongqiang and said, "There are still programs tonight. Let's go eat skewers later."
Now, he was leading a group of people to eat skewers in the middle of the night.
It wasn't until Gu Yongqiang and the others were already shaking their heads from drinking that Lei Jun said, "Manager Gu, our cooperation might be over."
"CEO Lei, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"Director Gu, I said that our cooperation has fallen through."
"Oh, it's yellow. If it's yellow, so be it. It's fine."
Gu Yongqiang, who was already drunk, did not take it seriously. He patted Boss Lei's shoulder and said, "Let's go. Is there a next program? Let's continue."
"Yes, yes, yes, of course."
Lei Jun was overjoyed. He supported Gu Yongqiang and continued to rush to the next program.
…
After 5173 reached a strategic cooperation with Jinshan, 5173 successfully won the promotion of the online version of Swordsman's Love.
Although Sohu was depressed, they couldn't do anything about Jinshan's decision.
However, even though 5173 won the promotion of the online version of Swordsman's Love, Chen Yu didn't use it to promote it immediately.
Swordsman's Love would be tested next spring. There was still time. The main task now was to promote Miracle.
As for why he didn't promote the two together, one was to not let the two compete directly. The other was because the market was limited.
If two such heavy games were put on the market at once, would everyone play Miracle or Swordsman's Love?
One by one.
2001 was the year when the domestic netizens exploded.
In the following years, the number of people increased by more than 50% every year.
This year, there were 40 million netizens. Next year, there would be 60 million netizens. The year after that, there would be 90 million netizens.
Don't fight. Sit in a row. Everyone would have a share. This also allowed everyone to eat their fill.
Of course, other than Swordsman's Love, there were also some other online games.
Chen Yu continued to promote these.
These online games were not heavy games. They could only barely make some money. There was no need to worry.
…
"Li Nan, how's our instant messaging?"
"Boss Chen, you finally remembered our instant messaging. I thought you had forgotten about it."
After the competition for the guild system, activation code, and Swordsman's Love, Sohu did not do anything else. Chen Yu observed for a few days. He was sure that Sohu had given up on the idea of a game portal and focused on making games.
Chen Yu also remembered the instant messaging that he asked Li Nan to do.
"Haha, you also have to consider the time. If the main business is not stable, you will think of other things."
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss Chen is right."
Li Nan nodded. "Boss Chen, our instant messaging is done. Take a look."
"Okay, let me see."
Chen Yu sat in front of the computer.
At this time, there was an unnamed instant messaging device on Li Nan's desktop.
Chen Yu clicked on it and found that there was no account number. He clicked to register.
Chen Yu shook his head. "You can't use any combination of letters and numbers to register an account. We have to assign numerical accounts, just like QQ accounts."
"Boss Chen, QQ accounts are not easy to remember. Many netizens say that they will forget."
"It's normal for them to forget because they don't go online often. If our users don't go online often, they will forget even if they register their own alphanumeric accounts. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the numerical account allocation is beneficial for both parties to contact each other. It's just like phone numbers. If you give a phone number, everyone will remember it. If you give an alphanumeric account, it will be much more complicated. "
"Okay, I can change this."
Chen Yu nodded and continued to the next step.
Although the instant messaging device was simple, if you did not register for each setting, you would be defeated by others.
Even if the setting was very simple, just like registering an account.
The system assigning numerical accounts was completely different from the user's random registration.
"The interface is too rough. It's not beautiful enough."
Chen Yu quickly registered an account and logged in. The instant messaging interface appeared in the upper right corner.
Chen Yu, who was used to the instant messaging interface of the future, frowned and immediately said.
"Uh, I made this imitation of QQ."
Li Nan was a little embarrassed.
"QQ's interface is also very ordinary."
"Boss Chen, do you mean to make it more beautiful, like Miracle?"
"No."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Miracle is too beautiful. It's not suitable for us. Our instant messaging needs to be elegant and beautiful."
"I'll study it with the technical department later."
"And this, this is not good either. It doesn't have much use."
"Why isn't this chat room function more eye-catching? This is our key function."
"What is this? Oh my god, you actually spent time upgrading the file transfer function. I'd like to ask, how many people know how to use this function?"
Scratching his head, Li Nan was still expecting Chen Yu to praise him.
But in just a few minutes, Chen Yu actually criticized Li Nan several times.
But Chen Yu's words made Li Nan speechless. He did not even have a chance to refute.
