After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

After all, Mei Fang can always recruit excellent development talents as long as he is willing to spend money, but the companionship of going through thick and thin together cannot be measured by pure money.

Now Mei Fang has basically handed over the operation and maintenance of Station C to Lin Youxi and Yue Xinyi. There are still three years before the big copyright era that will begin in 2014.

In other words, if C Station fails to grow bigger and stronger and obtain angel investment in the next three years, all the non-copyrighted video series that C Station carries will be removed from the shelves.

At this time, it is almost impossible for Mei Fang to bear the risk alone and spend money to compete with other video websites backed by big capital for copyrights. No matter how many BAK coins he has, it will not be enough.

Then Station C can only rely on the original videos submitted by UP hosts to support itself.

In addition, accepting angel investment is also a risky behavior.

Some contract policies of the financial sponsor and the degree of control over the C Station industry will determine Mei Fang's willingness to raise funds, and even whether C Station can become a paradise in the future as Mei Fang originally envisioned.

Take the two Ma bosses' groups as an example. Penguin Empire is more inclined to delegate power after investment. Penguin's investment does not affect the major decisions of the investment targets, and it mainly focuses on dividends and profits.

The Ali Empire, on the other hand, prefers stronger control and changes the original industrial layout by parachuting in senior executives.

The final fierce battle over the layout of the map also proved that the penguin's strategy was superior.

After all, any big shot who intends to continue working hard for his career rather than pursuing financial freedom will not allow his hard work over the years to be manipulated by others.

All in all, many of Ali's strategic plans ended in failure.

At the same time, the three people's summer camp life at Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 was progressing in an orderly manner.

The three little Mei Fang children go to school together every morning, go home together in the evening, and go to the cafeteria to eat lunch separately.

Because they had more free time after the afternoon classes, the three of them made an appointment to meet for dinner.

During the meal, Mei Fang's deskmate Xiang Bingbing would always follow him.

Although Xiang Bingbing is a tall girl, her personality is not cold at all. Her lively and cheerful personality and her cute foodie nature quickly made her become friends with the other girls.

After all, with this height and this naturally eccentric personality, Xiang Bingbing seems like a big mascot.

What's more, she is indeed injured now, and Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi are not averse to getting along with her.

The knowledge that students from small places can access is relatively narrow, whether it is Shenlongjia or Baimei County.

During this meal, Xiang Bingbing started to complain to her new friends:

"I found that the students in my class are really amazing! The teacher teaches very quickly and the students in the class learn very quickly. Before I understand the knowledge points of the previous chapter, they have already started to preview the content of the next chapter."

Xia Yuan also put on a bitter face, indicating that she couldn't agree more:

"That's true... Although we let everyone study on their own during the evening class, everyone is running to the homeroom teacher's office non-stop. If you want to ask a question, you have to queue for a long time..."

Xia Yuan once suffered a lot of pressure and torture in junior high school because of studying physics. Although Mei Fang had pointed out her career plan to switch to liberal arts in high school, she could not escape the physics course in the first year of high school before the class division.

Yuanyuan is a strong-willed person. As long as she can work hard, she will never lag behind others.

So Mei Fang had to find a way to get her attention to focus on other things, such as -

"Yuanyuan, let me ask you..."

Mei Fang took the green peppers that Xia Yuan didn't like to eat from the plate and asked her:

"There seems to be a summer camp graduation party after the class placement exam at the end of the month. Our class has already started preparing for the program. Yuanyuan, do you want to join in?"

"Hey?"

Xia Yuan touched his face and said, "Our head teacher did say so, but I have never thought about it..."

"Then why not consider it? You brought your guitar anyway."

"Um……"

Seeing Xia Yuan hesitating, Mei Fang began to increase his encouragement.

What Mei Fang is doing now is to guide Xia Yuan to complete her life plan.

Although Xia Yuan is now responsible for the output and production of music and sound effects in Ximilu Studio, this is ultimately a cooperative project. He is only working under Mei Fang's command and is currently just a tool.

If Yuanyuan wants to grow into an independent individual, she must find a field where she can stand on her own.

Just as Mei Fang trained Youxi to be a programmer and let her focus on web page and application development to run C Station, Yuanyuan now also needs a field of her own.

Independent music producer, or online singer, is a very suitable training direction for Xia Yuan. Note that this is not to let Yuan Yuan enter the entertainment industry, which is not an area they can get involved in.

Xia Yuan thought for a long time and finally threw the ball to Mei Fang:

"Well... do you want to participate? I'll participate if you do. Haven't you always said that you wanted to perform on stage? Isn't this also an opportunity?"

"I haven't prepared my song yet. I should consider it during the Golden Autumn Arts Festival. Don't you have an original song for the assessment that I can use?"

"Wow, you all can play guitar, that's amazing!"

Xiang Bingbing said excitedly, "It's a pity that Mei Fang didn't bring her guitar, otherwise I would really like to hear you two perform a song together!"

"Ah?" Xia Yuan tilted his head, "Isn't your guitar in your room——"

"Ahhh! Yes, I didn't bring it here!"

Xia Yuan almost revealed the fact that the three of them were living together to Xiang Bingbing. It would be inappropriate if outsiders knew about this.

After talking about some random things for a while, the topic finally returned to whether to sign up for the summer camp graduation party.

"I think we can give it a try, Yuanyuan..."

Lin Youxi also expressed her support, and she smiled gently:

"Do you still remember the Children's Day cultural performance in elementary school? You participated in it every year, whether it was dance, guzheng, song, or piano."

"Since I was a child, I have always felt that you should always shine on the stage, because the way you stand on the stage is the truest you."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi praised Xia Yuan a lot. Indeed, Xia Yuan had not participated much in performances since he entered junior high school, and his former self-confidence was shattered by physics.

Encouraged by the two, Xia Yuan scratched his head sheepishly and said with a chuckle, "Then I'll try to sign up..."

Chapter 137 What kind of girl does Afang like?

After Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were admitted to Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 in the first half of the year, they took advantage of the last time to finish their guitar courses.

After that, the two rarely played instruments together, but in fact Mei Fang had been trying to compose his own music in his free time.

Of course, when we say that Mei Fang was writing music, he was actually just translating famous songs from his previous life into guitar tabs, but Xia Yuan was actually creating original works.

In addition to "In That Not Faraway Place", Xia Yuan also collaborated with Mei Fang to compose "Lanshan Memories", a birthday gift that Mei Fang had previously given to Lin Youxi. After obtaining Lin Youxi's consent,

This way she can play and sing two songs at the party.

Since making up her mind to sign up for the graduation party performance, Xia Yuan has been actively preparing and practicing.

However, Xia Yuan no longer lives in his own small western-style building. The sound insulation between the upper and lower floors of this kind of community is poor, and playing the guitar is quite disturbing to others. Therefore, Xia Yuan chooses the pavilion in the community as a practice place outside of school.

As soon as Xia Yuan finishes the weekend homework, he will go downstairs to practice immediately. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi will be busy with the development of two games and the C Station APP respectively.

In the early years, the version numbers of development engines were relatively low, and many convenient functions were not implemented, which was quite difficult for most programmers who had just started to use these development software.

Fortunately, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi are both experienced programmers with 10 years of programming experience. Due to Mei Fang's familiarity with programming languages ​​in his previous life, the two of them avoided many detours. In addition, Mei Fang wrote the plans and implemented the functions himself, so the development progress can be said to be quite fast.

"Okay! I'll just wait for Zhang Ming and Yue Xinyi to match the watches, and then it will be done..."

Mei Fang stretched his body and saw Lin Youxi opposite him still typing the code meticulously. He then rested his chin on his hand and stared at Lin Youxi for a while.

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, who have officially entered high school, had a little interaction in their previous lives. Of course, their interactions were limited to passing by each other in the corridor.

Compared to the vague aloof temperament in memory, although Lin Youxi still has an expressionless face on weekdays, she doesn't have that cold feeling.

Of course, it’s not that I would say he’s cute and silly, but if I had to say it, I’d say he’s serious and taciturn?

And beneath this appearance, she also has a gentle temperament. This is the blessing that only Mei Fang and Xia Yuan can enjoy, haha.

When Mei Fang came to his senses, he found that Lin Youxi had been staring at him.

"What are you thinking about..."

Lin Youxi was a little confused, "Is the code finished?"

"I was just wondering... it's been a while since we started programming, right?"

"Well...I haven't played for a while."

Lin Youxi nodded and smiled, "But writing code is fun, isn't it? Seeing the characters I typed out finally become something that makes everyone happy is actually quite fulfilling."

"It seems that you really love this job..."

"By the way, can we really put the games we developed in the new game section of C Station? Will there be any related restrictions or something..."

"It's okay. It's still early."

"Very early?"

"Well...just don't worry."

The requirement for domestic game licenses was proposed in the 1990s. Games without licenses will be regarded as illegal publications and prohibited from being used for commercial profits.

But for a long time, this policy has been ineffective.

The era of big game licenses, in which games cannot be put on the shelves without them, actually began in 2016. That year, more than games were submitted for approval, and almost every game was approved.

As for what happened later, let’s not talk about it for now.

Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, "We plan to release these two new games on PC/Android/IOS simultaneously, so don't forget to deal with the differences in interfaces."

"I've recorded this in my work log. However, our sales strategy this time is a buyout system. Will domestic players really buy into it?"

It is 2011 now. It is a pipe dream to expect players to have good paying habits. Mei Fang is also very clear about this:

"You don't need to count on their sales. There are definitely a lot of cracked versions out there, and the symbolic price of 1 yuan and 6 yuan will do."

"We are mainly promoting the reputation of Ximilu Studio and increasing its popularity so that we can have a sufficient user base for large-scale games in the future."

"Besides, IOS is listed on the App Store after all. If it sells well, its sales revenue can still be expected to increase slightly."

"Moreover, in addition to our own games, we can also help publish games from other studios in the future. According to the current traffic level of C Station, those small studios should also be willing to put their games on our platform."

After hearing what Mei Fang said, Lin Youxi finally felt relieved. "In this case, Station C can finally be said to be making money, which can more or less compensate for the financial maintenance pressure brought by the bandwidth."

"That's right..."

Mei Fang stood up and loosened his arms. "Looking at the computer for a long time will make you nearsighted. Why don't you get up and walk around to relax your eyes?"

"it is good."

Lin Youxi followed Mei Fang to the balcony outside the living room. The August sunshine was dazzling and bright. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi looked into the distance, gazing at the scenery in the distance.
