My 1999

In 2000, booting up didn't take a few seconds like it did later. Just the program self-check could take half a minute or even more than a minute.

Wang Haitao looked around boredly and found that several machines around him were playing an unfamiliar game.

"legend?"

At this time his machine started.

Log in to OICQ first.

Yes, Penguin was still in the OICQ era at this time. It would not be until three months later, in November 2000, when the classic QQ2000 was launched, that the name would be changed.

I checked that it was still early and opened the website directory out of habit.

Since having this website, Wang Haitao has habitually made it his first choice for surfing the Internet.

Moreover, the new version of ‘Website Directory’ has launched a favorites function, which allows you to directly include some commonly used websites, which is very considerate.

I was about to go to Sina to browse the news, but the "Legend" public beta advertisement flashing at the top of the page came into view.

Thinking of the previous recommendation from the Internet cafe owner and the desktops of the computers around me, I subconsciously clicked on it.

First is the registration list.

As a hardcore game fan, he was no stranger to this. After registering skillfully, another list appeared.

Tell him the buttons corresponding to different operations and some basic game rules.

After a quick glance, I found that the keys are basically similar to the keys of popular games now, with only a few differences, so it is easy to remember.

After jumping over, officially enter the game.

That is Novice Village.

Now the gameplay of killing monsters and upgrading is not as bad as it was later.

On the contrary, it is extremely novel and fits the temperament of young people very well, which is what is often said in novels as ‘full of excitement’.

So Wang Haitao was quickly attracted.

Later, he even forgot about CS, and instead gave "Legend: Overlord War" to Amway to his friends.

On the day when "Legend: Overlord War" was officially launched, countless people like Wang Haitao were attracted into the game by Hongmeng's advertisements.

In just three days, the number of registered users exceeded one million, and the number of people online at the same time exceeded 100,000.

Charges will officially start three days later.

At the same time, the number of people online instantly dropped by more than half, and the number of people willing to spend money to play was obviously a minority.

But with the growth in registration numbers and word-of-mouth publicity, it began to slowly pick up again.

"Mr. Xu, after one week of official operation, our number of registered people has reached 3.5 million, and the number of people online at the same time has reached 56,762.

Average daily revenue is 220,000.

According to the next development trend, by the end of August, this number will at least double. "

Xie Wen's tone on the phone was full of excitement.

Xu Liang is also very happy. "Legend: Overlord War" finally did not disappoint him.

But I wasn’t too happy, because when Shanda later operated Legend, its daily revenue exceeded 2 million, and Hongmeng is still far behind.

Although it can't compare with Shanda's "Legend of Blood", the current "Legend: Overlord War" is already considered a successful game.

"Find a place to hold a celebration banquet for 'Jumang Studio'."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Also, pay attention to player feedback and never tolerate any cheats or private servers."

Although he has now directly acquired Atos and Yumede, there will no longer be disputes over the copyright of "Legend".

There is a high probability that source code leakage will not happen, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality.

You still have to be careful where you should be careful.

After instructing Xie Wen, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

"Legend: Overlord War" is hot on the market. According to the current development trend, the number of people online at the same time will exceed 100,000 in one month.

However, it is basically impossible to achieve the level of "Legend 2" with tens of millions of registrations a month and over 400,000 online at the same time.

But he was already satisfied.

As long as this kind of popularity is maintained, the monthly sales of "Legend: Overlord War" can exceed five million. A month later, it will not be difficult to reach tens of millions.

“Finally I can see the money coming back.”

Xu's conscience was filled with excitement.

With the financial support of the game, he can confidently and boldly realize his ambitions in Internet search.

"President? President?"

The soft call brought Xu Liang back to his senses.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think of this house?" Sun Mingzhen asked quickly.

"Yes, this is it."

A week ago, he asked Sun Mingzhen to find a house.

The latter was very conscientious. He visited all the wealthy areas in Seoul and screened more than a dozen properties for him. After looking around, he felt that they were all good.

In the end, I chose this penthouse duplex apartment located in Royal City, Cheongdam-dong.

The total building area is 370 square meters, plus a rooftop balcony of over 100 square meters, overlooking the Han River, and the environment is good.

The surrounding area is also very prosperous and life is more convenient.

Moreover, this is the shopping mall second only to Myeongdong. It is home to many wealthy celebrities and businessmen, and has great potential for appreciation in the future.

Xu Liang spent 50 million won, equivalent to 2.5 million Chinese dollars, to buy this house in the name of Xiangjiang Hongyan Fund.

He didn't need to worry about paying the money and transferring the ownership. Sun Mingzhen was happy to do the errands.

"Gangzi, you and Renqing go to the hotel and bring our gifts over."

Huo Gang nodded and left with Lu Renqing.

"You go buy some furniture and bedding. We will stay here tonight."

The apartment is fully furnished and ready for move-in, including a sofa and TV. But the sheets and quilt covers must be changed.

After Sun Mingzhen nodded, just as she was about to turn around and leave, the phone in her bag rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, then quickly walked towards Xu Liang.

"President, Li Haizhen's phone number."

Xu Liang was shocked and secretly looking forward to it.

"The wait is finally here."

Take it and press the answer button.

"President Li, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Xu acquired Naver shares from Kim Young-quan and Beom Ji-sung?"

Xu Liang knew that this matter could not be hidden for long. Since he learned about the concerted action agreement, he had no intention of hiding it anymore. It was meaningless.

"good."

"Mr. Xu, there is no way I will give up Naver Company." Li Haizhen said firmly.

"I'm afraid President Li has misunderstood. I have no intention of letting you give up. I am a Chinese and cannot stay in South Korea forever. Therefore, Naver Company needs a manager, and President Li is the most suitable person."

"I don't believe any lip service..."

"We can implement it in the contract." Xu Liang interrupted.

Li Haizhen was silent for a while.

"Mr. Xu, let's find a place to chat tonight."

Xu Liang was shocked, suppressing the joy in his heart, and said calmly.

"Can."

"Myeongdong Meifong Tea House, seven o'clock in the evening."

"No problem, see you there or see you."

"See you there or not."

After agreeing, Li Haizhen hung up the phone.

Xu Liang happily clenched his fist and waved it in the air.

Through the phone call just now, he clearly felt that Li Haizhen's tone had loosened.

"Mingzhen, get ready. We will go to Meifeng Tea House in the evening."

"yes."
