Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 138 Home Office
In the next half month, Xu Pengkun focused on testing the land. In the end, he spent nearly 2 million to acquire a land covering an area of ​​more than 20 square meters. The average price was more than 1000 per square meter. The price was not bad. .

Then contact a well-known foreign design company and start planning the overall park building with reference to Chen Hao's suggestions.

After an overall assessment, it is expected to be completed and put into use by the end of 04.

By early April, cases had begun to appear in Beijing.

In fact, signs began to appear in Guangdong in December last year, but no one paid attention to it at the time. Although Chen Hao knew the seriousness, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. The burning reached the north and he did not know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

As a result, it arrived late.
No wonder some celebrity concerts and large-scale performances in Beijing were inexplicably canceled at the end of March.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, even though it was not the front page headline, it also made Chen Hao very alert, and he finally came
Chen Hao immediately called Zhang Xiaolong and asked about the situation there.

At this time, the situation there was getting serious. Chen Hao ignored Zhang Xiaolong's insistence and gave him a death order. Anyone with suspected fever symptoms was not allowed to continue working despite being sick, and all were given paid leave.

It was also asked to count the number of employees who did not have network cables at home. The company paid for them to install network cables and allowed employees to move their computers home and work from home.

At the Beijing headquarters, Chen Hao was preparing for a rainy day. Chen Hao asked Wu Hanqing to send people below to collect relevant domestic data. The efficiency was very high. In less than three hours, a pile of information was placed on the desk of Chen Hao's office.

I really don’t know if I don’t check it. I was shocked when I checked it. After just watching it for a few minutes, Chen Hao felt frightened. I hope it’s not too late now.

Chen Hao called Li Fang and asked him to find two editors with good writing skills to help him organize and polish it quickly.

Chen Hao convened an emergency meeting of the group at short notice in the afternoon. He finally finished sorting out the information before leaving get off work, and all the company's top executives were already present.

After everyone arrived, the landline phone was connected to Zhang Xiaolong, and the hands-free was turned on to allow him to participate in the meeting remotely. Chen Hao stood at the top with a serious expression, "Comrades, there is a war!"

Everyone was confused. All their opponents in the market were stepping on them. Fighting?Who else to hit?

Chen Hao walked to the blackboard and wrote: 'Work from home' in big characters.

Then follow the compiled materials to popularize the concept of the disease, its hazards and SARS-related data.

The first case of infection occurred in Foshan, Guangdong on November 2002, 11.

On December 2002 and 12, 5, the first case appeared in Shenzhen.

On January 2003, 1, several cases of medical staff being infected occurred simultaneously in ZS City. An expert investigation team stationed in ZS City to investigate, and on January 2, 2003, an investigation report was issued to all health and medical units across the province, requiring Relevant units have paid attention to the prevention and control of the disease.

On February 2003, 2, the head of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention predicted in an interview with reporters that there would be no widespread epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases across the country in the near future.

On March 2003, 3, the first imported case was reported in Beijing.

On April 2003, 4, the Ministry of Health held a press conference in Beijing, announcing that experts from the World Health Organization had arrived in Guangdong, and after inspecting the situation in Beijing, they excluded Beijing from the epidemic area. At the same time, they stated that the epidemic had been effectively controlled and the overall situation was stable. Good luck to China, it is safe whether you wear a mask or not.

On April 2003, 4, in order to show that the epidemic had been effectively controlled, 6 people gathered at the Tianhe Sports Center under the leadership of some leaders to start the spring fitness long-distance running event for people.

And today is August 4th.

It can be seen from the data that in less than half a year, the edge of war has reached the capital.

Judging from the data on the PPT, the overall situation is getting better. But on the next page, Chen Hao made a chart of the development trend of the epidemic. The trends in many places are very similar. Inferring from this, the capital is not as calm as it seems.

Based on this, Chen Hao announced the following measures, which will be implemented unconditionally by everyone!
1. The human resources department purchased thermometers, masks, alcohol, cold and fever-reducing medicines and other supplies in large quantities. In addition, they also asked them to purchase gas masks in large quantities.

2. Lu Tao sent people to count all employees’ homes without network cables, and the company installed network cables in their homes for free.

Although Li Qian, the human resources director, didn't understand, she did as her boss said.

After the meeting, in addition to asking the bosses of each department to pass it down, Chen Hao also sent a company-wide notification email.

The content of the email first explains the dangers of the disease, preventive measures, and finally a series of countermeasures taken by the company.

1. Help employees install networks at home for free.

2. Starting from tomorrow, everyone needs to wear a mask when going to work and use alcohol to disinfect the virus at the entrance, otherwise entry is prohibited.

3. If symptoms such as chest tightness, cough, fever, etc. occur, you will be forced to take paid leave. It is prohibited to continue working despite being sick. Violators will be directly fired.

4. Start a one-week trial of online simulated office work. Each department will try its best to conduct work communication through QQ and get used to online communication.

5. Starting from April 4th, except for special types of work, everyone else will work from home in principle, and their wages will still be paid!

Friendly advice: Buy more masks, cold medicine, and have at least half a month's worth of food at home.

This email has been sent, and it has caused thousands of waves.

Employees were talking among themselves.

"Is there something wrong with the company's operations? Why are you being asked to go home and work?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I've seen the data, our situation is good." "As for staying at home, I read the reports, haven't we already effectively controlled it?"

"The boss really made a fuss out of a molehill this time."

"Hey, should I tell you that you got both vinegar and isatis root?"

"No, I went to the supermarket two days ago and they were all sold out. There was no vinegar, so I had to make braised pork ribs."

"Where did you hear that these two things can resist viruses?"

"That's what they all say."

"who are they?"

"They are what they are. There are various statements on the Internet. Be prepared if you can. It's better to believe them."

Fortunately, Chen Hao has accumulated enough prestige on weekdays. The employees just felt that the boss was a little cautious this time and made a fuss out of a molehill, but he was just complaining and carried out what was needed.

Because Chen Hao knew that in a few days, with the seriousness of the situation, schools and businesses would be suspended, it was a certainty that he would not cause trouble to his superiors and stay at home first.

After a few days, employees from other companies in the Guomao Building have concluded a rule. Anyone who wears a mask is almost certainly an employee of Century Zongheng. Then they also found a few weird people wearing gas masks to work, and the number of people returning to work was astonishing. .

Chen Hao even wore an N95 inside the gas mask, which was even more outrageous. He was laughed at by Lin Xiaoran when he went out.

He muttered in his heart, you know nothing, and this time, I have experienced it three times, so I am really scared.

In the next few days, Chen Hao had people clean up the courtyard, purchased a few more refrigerators, filled them with stock, and prepared for the winter, and even hired a cook temporarily.

After the company worked from home, Chen Hao brought Xu Changlong and five or six game planners over to conduct closed research together.

What to study?Of course it is the game structure and gameplay of Martial Arts World OL.

As for the game engine, let the technical experts work on it behind closed doors at home and communicate online if there are any problems.

On April 2003, 4, all employees of Century Zongheng strictly implemented the hibernation plan.

These employees originally thought that it would be easy to work from home, without having to commute to and from get off work on buses and subways, and with no one to supervise them.

As a result, after working from home, I found that there was no such thing. I really didn’t need to commute to and from work. I could work at home in my pajamas. However, the work intensity became even more intense because there was no concept of commuting to and from work, especially with the games of the Beidou Division. Madman, apart from eating and sleeping, he spends the rest of his time on work.

Time passes like this day by day, and the wind in the capital is getting tighter and tighter.

On April 4, Beijing announced the suspension of classes, companies in principle to suspend work, and people not to leave Beijing unless necessary, among other measures.

It turned out that some employees who had complained had disappeared, and some colleagues were saying that the boss was far-sighted.

Some Internet manufacturers that were late to the incident were caught off guard. Some bug fixes were not done in time, servers were down, and so on.

But the games of the century series are as stable as a mountain, and they fall all the time. On the contrary, there are more players than usual playing Miracle, Ragnarok, and Bubble Hall.

The Ragnarok RO plug-in, under the care of some experts from the Netshield technical team, added a protective shell to the outer layer, making it impregnable and invulnerable to water and fire.

Chen Hao and Lin Xiaoran, together with a group of planners from Tianxuan Studio, stayed in the courtyard. They never left or entered the courtyard. There was a cook to prepare meals, the refrigerator was full, and the family had enough food. They were calm and not panicked, which was a rare thing for a group of people. Started living in a compound.

Eating, sleeping, and talking about games are really the joys of life.

No matter how time flies outside, this place is truly a paradise.

"Can you try this thing first at the end of the month?"

"If there are any problems, it's okay. I'll make corrections and improve them as I use them. I just want to take this opportunity to do some testing."

"The architecture is solid. When it comes to simplicity, we can just add functions to it. It can be made into a plug-in, plug-and-play, and modular."

"What? Name it? Isn't Tencent called QQ? Let's call it PP."

"It's not casual, that's it."

Chen Hao hung up the call from Zhang Xiaolong, thinking that PP sounds pretty good. It is better than DingTalk. The name always makes people think of it, and later it became a must-have software for online classes at home.

This voice chat task was developed as early as early April when Chen Hao asked Zhang Xiaolong's technical team to start developing it. After all, there was nothing that Foxmail could do no matter how much it wanted to improve it.

This is Zhang Xiaolong's first time as a product manager. It feels very different to consider and design a software from a product perspective.

So when the demo came out, he took the initiative to report to Chen Hao, which led to the above conversation.
