Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 198: Playing Games at Work

"Fuck~ I pressed it too hard again. This little thing really tests my skills."

"It's more of a test of mentality than a test of skills. The first 1,000 points are easy, but the difficulty comes as the higher the score, the more unstable your mentality becomes."

"You all can't do it, so I put a stopwatch and a ruler next to me. After some exploration, I have found the pattern between distance and duration. I share my experience with you. The success does not have to be mine!"

".Why don't you ask the programmer for the specific parameters? It's more accurate and convenient."

"Ah? It's possible to do this, why didn't you say so earlier~"

"Hey, you know, these diving platforms are colorful and oddly shaped. Aren't they natural advertising spots? If one comes up from time to time, don't you think it's all money?"

"Sure, write it down. Which suggestion is this today?"

"This is the seventh one. I'll send it to the product review team later."

"NND, the second level seems unsolvable. If this wasn't an internal test, I would have spent nearly a hundred dollars on it."

"Oh no, who designed the second level to be so perverted? I haven't been able to pass it in several days. Who was so smart to come up with such a huge contrast?"

“I heard it was the boss.”

"Well, the design is indeed very challenging, and the boss really put a lot of thought into training our mentality."

"The boss and the head are not here right now, who are you going to show your progress to~"

"Hahaha~~~103 million points, you lose, kneel down and call me daddy!"

"Get lost, you didn't even shout last time you lost, we're even now!"

"Hey, why is there a guy named 'I'm the Boss'? He must be sure that the boss doesn't play games. This is simply outrageous. It's only 108 million. I'm going to beat him this time!"

At this time, someone in the group exclaimed, "Everyone, look at the number one on the leaderboard. The one named Black Knight has 999 million points. How is that possible?"

It instantly attracted the attention of others, and it turned out to be true.

"Black Knight? Is he a classmate from the platform division?"

Later they went over there to ask and found out that the guy named "Black Knight" had discovered a vulnerability and had already sent it to the game division for repair.

In addition to the various problems discovered by company employees during internal testing, the Platform Division worked with the company's security engineers to conduct various attacks and scans on game security, trying to identify various problems in order to improve the security of the game.

After all, fairness is crucial to the game.
On April 4, the “Three Small” games had only reached the final stage and were far from being ready.

Next, this continuous internal testing phase within the company will become the norm until the boss announces the launch.

So to be on the safe side, Sun Ziwei left one developer and one tester in each group to continue following up and resolving various issues and suggestions raised and fed back by other colleagues in the company.

He led the rest of the team and returned to the research and development of the "Four Major" games.

Chen Mo is still playing games at work and comparing them with his memories.

"Shooting the Plane": Similar in style, almost no cost to get started, just have the hands, and it gets harder and harder. His best score in the past few days was 108 million points, which was his best performance. As a result, he ranked 26th in the company.
"Jumping Grids": There is nothing much to say about this. It's like a spring. The longer the charging time, the farther you can jump. The closer you are to the center of the next step, the higher the score. There are also some BUFF steps with a small circle in the middle. Just jump into it and your points will be doubled.

In addition to doubling the points, these gain steps also ensure that the next 5 jumps will hit the center of the circle, and the angel halo will offset one drop, etc.

These settings that increase surprise and fun are simply measures to reduce and narrow the gap between expert and ordinary players.

As for "Oh My God", to put it bluntly, it is a connect-the-dots game. The model is copied from "Sheep, Sheep", with the first level being of "kindergarten" difficulty and the second level directly jumping to "graduate school entrance examination" difficulty. It is easy to get started but difficult to pass, and luck plays a big part in it. In fact, it is a kind of "slot machine effect" in psychology.

This will make people feel more accomplished when they share the screenshots they have passed on their social media.

As human beings, the tendency to compare is innate.

During this period, the three games have aroused strong response and praise from everyone in the company. Many students even open them and play a game as soon as they have time after work.

A good beginning is half the battle.

Moreover, through the collective efforts of all employees of the company, many excellent ideas and suggestions were put forward.

For example, by jumping, the steps can be turned into advertising space, "Oh My God" adds three small props, and cuts out the cheap way of reviving by watching ads, etc.

However, when the WeChat app was launched, Chen Mo did not plan to release all of them, and only released "Shooting Up the Plane" first.
After all, it is impossible to use up all the bullets in one magazine. Launching three models at the same time will only cause internal friction and disperse users.

As a colleague later told him, when he buys games on Steam, he will play one at a time and then buy another after he finishes playing it, and he will be very patient to experience every game.

But during the summer and winter sales, I bought nearly ten new games in one go. But after half a year, I only tried a few games and lost the urge to play them. In the end, they were just gathering dust in the virtual warehouse.
It's the same old saying as "you can't chew too much".

Starting from April 4, Li Jianchao led some employees of the WeChat Business Department to connect with major banks and conduct joint debugging. When encountering some problems, corresponding technical personnel will provide assistance and support.

This greatly changed his original impression of these technical personnel in state-owned enterprises.

What he didn't know was that the bank's technical staff had been individually contacted by their leaders, so the joint debugging project progressed smoothly in the next few days.
Chen Mo took into consideration that the major version would not be released until the end of next month, and updating a version every two months was not particularly user-friendly.

Therefore, he produced a small version of the requirement V1.3.1 and gave it to Li Jianchao, asking him to evaluate the possibility of launching it online on the 28th of the month.

This small version has only two requirements. The first one is relatively simple, which is to display and calculate the approximate distance between users through LBS positioning. Since the data is ready-made, it is necessary to write a few small logics.

The second one is a bit more complicated. It adds a set of yellow face emoticons and an emoticon package function to the dialog box. Users can collect pictures into emoticon packages, which means they can fight with pictures.
Although the function is small, time is tight. For Qi Mengmeng, making emoticon packages is a piece of cake. She likes to draw all kinds of funny and cute expressions on weekdays. She organized the materials and processed them under Chen Mo's suggestion.

But this version as a whole is not an easy test for Li Jianchao, so he made some adjustments to the priority of the to-do items. Since V1.5 will not be launched until the end of next month, some of the unfinished functions of this version can be put on hold for the time being.

After technical evaluation and discussion, it can be completed by the end of the month if all employees devote themselves to the task and consume nearly half of the remaining overtime quota.

When he got the latest schedule, Chen Mo gave an order to add V1.3.1 to the R&D plan.

Release date: 28th!
While things were in full swing here, the Guangyan Center was also busy, but the process was not so pleasant.

Zhang Xiaolong frowned when he received feedback from the technical director about the problems encountered during project development.
"What's going on with WeChat payment? The process hasn't been run smoothly yet? I remember we were coordinating with Tenpay for about a week, right?"

He had a sullen face and looked extremely dignified.

The technical director was also somewhat helpless, "It's not our problem, it's Tenpay's problem."

“Why didn’t you give me feedback earlier?”

“Since last week, Tenpay has been working with us on the project and the progress has been normal, but this week the time for joint debugging has been getting shorter and shorter.
As of today, there is only an average of one hour of joint debugging time, which is indeed not enough. I asked the technical staff there and they said that there was an urgent project and they only had this one hour, or they had to work overtime to squeeze out the time.

This is what creates the risk. Brother Long, why don’t you talk to the head of Tenpay? Actually, we don’t need too many people to support the joint debugging. Only five professional technicians are needed.”

"Okay, go down, I'll take care of it!"

Zhang Xiaolong thought about it and realized that Caifubao was a separately established subsidiary of Tencent Group, and its nature was similar to that of the Guangyan Center.

He understood that even if everyone belonged to the same group and was at the same level, he could not command anyone, so he looked through the company address book and called Liu Yingqi, the general manager of Tenpay, to coordinate resources.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I really want to help, but the project I'm working on is urgent, so we can't help you. But even though our technical resources are so tight, you see, I still squeezed out a few people to support you, didn't I?

We are all technical people, so we should understand. That’s it for now. I have a meeting. I will come to Shenzhen some other day and have dinner with you.

Zhang Xiaolong thought about it and felt that the other party's words were just polite talk, but on the surface there was indeed nothing wrong with them. After all, if the projects collided, it would be his friends who would die rather than him.

Since everyone has their own important and urgent projects, let the boss assess the priorities.

He just made a phone call to Xiao Ma Ge and asked for help from his parents when he was in doubt!

After calling Xiao Ma Ge, the result was improved.

A few minutes later, Liu Yingqi from Tenpay called Zhang Xiaolong, "Hello? Mr. Zhang, you guys are going to connect to Tenpay for your WeChat chat project. This is the highest priority project for the group. I need to know how to prioritize your project.
No need to say anything, I will say hello to the people below now.
Next time, we should just communicate clearly. There are some things that we shouldn’t bother the boss to do personally. We, as subordinates, should make the boss worry-free. What do you think? "

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong snorted coldly. Would you cooperate so obediently if I didn’t find the boss?

Nowadays in Tencent, WeChat is a well-deserved T0-level project, and everything makes way for WeChat.

However, the best scenery is on the top of a dangerous mountain. One step to heaven and one step to hell. He couldn't say how much effect 5 million yuan could have, or whether it could kill WeChat in one fell swoop.

All he can do now is to gather all resources and manpower, do his best, and then go online to see the real results!
Then he called the technical director, "We have finished communicating with Tenpay and they will fully cooperate with our joint debugging. In addition, I got the news from my boss that the payment license will be issued and take effect on May 5. The task system and bounty activities will be postponed for one week and will be launched simultaneously at that time!"

"Okay, Brother Long!"

"Is there any news from WeChat?"

"There has been no latest news since the new version was updated."

"When will 'Shake It Up' and 'People Around Us' be online?"

"The end of this month, the edition will be released on the 28th!"

"Well, everyone has been very busy recently. You should readjust your plans and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I see that there are some bad comments about our company on Zhiyan. You should know that Zhiyan is on the other side. Don't leave any handle for them. You still have to pay attention to the impact!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Long~"
