Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 3 Playing with Things?

The grandparents’ house is usually within a 15-minute walk, but the family left the house before 8 o’clock, and the journey was delayed for 2 hours, and it was almost 10 o’clock before arriving.

Basically every 20 meters along the way, Fang Jie's family will encounter a wave of acquaintances, who will come forward to say hello to Fang Wanxing, the head of the family.

This is simply unimaginable.

Although Fang Jie is a scholar, he is far inferior to his father in terms of personal connections and interpersonal relationships.

However, the position of the head of the supply department of the construction branch is indeed not something that ordinary people can sit on.

The construction branch is mainly responsible for the construction tasks of various workshops, infrastructure and residences of the head office, which is similar to the nature of a real estate development company, while the supply department is specially responsible for purchasing building materials with public funds. The pass-through funds for the project range from tens of millions...

This is a special department where countless powder kegs are buried. People with bad relationships will be bombed to the sky, people with poor ability will sit for a while, and people with bad behavior will fall into the abyss.

Fang Wanxing became the section chief at the age of 28 and has been in this position for more than ten years. The character, the level is not high, but everyone in the head office knows everyone.

Correspondingly, the Tongcheng Shuanglu District, an area where all employees of state-owned enterprises live, has become well known to passers-by.

A section chief, who has been mixed up to this level, is no one, even Fang Jie, who is like a scholar, can't do this.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let my father go to sea. It is the right way for such an awesome father to mix up the system. As a second-generation official, he is stable!

When I arrived at my grandparents' house, I found that my relatives had already arrived, and there were more than a dozen people in each room, otherwise the living room alone would not be enough.

There are six brothers and sisters in the father's generation, Fang Wanxing is the eldest, the next brother and four sisters, plus the spouses and children of these people, a large number of people can gather here every New Year.

Such a lively scene is rarely seen in the later city.

These relatives are not bad, they are all mixed.

His uncle was a university professor, and his eldest uncle was the vice-principal of Tongcheng No. [-] Middle School. He was the teaching director of Huanggang Middle School. He was one of the authors of the so-called "Huanggang Secret Book".

The second uncle is a doctor of Tongcheng No. [-] Hospital, and he is also the son of the director of the hospital. The second generation is one of the officials. The third uncle is a peasant in the mountainous area, but he is currently a deputy regimental officer of the staff of a certain military region, so it is inconvenient to introduce others. .

The 34-year-old uncle is also an unforgettable scholar. He graduated from Jiangda Medical College, or later Tongji Medical University, and is now the director of the ENT department of the employee hospital under the state-owned enterprise.

My grandfather, who came from begging for food, used to be the mayor of the township. He abandoned his office to become a worker in the city. Now he is the secretary of the neighborhood committee. Even his grandmother is a retired cleaner from the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Bureau.

In short, very good, very powerful, so that Fang Jie, a scholar, is inconspicuous among this bunch of relatives.

Every year at this time of the year, Fang Jie, the eldest son and grandson of the family and a scholar, was the main topic of discussion for everyone.

This year is no exception, except that Fang Jie has turned 18 this year, so there was another topic during lunch: finding a partner.

The grandmother, who has blind confidence in her eldest grandson, has a clear attitude: "After entering the university, I will study abroad and bring a foreign wife back!"

This remark immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter, and even the women's table also started booing.

In this era, the idea of ​​worshipping foreign countries is more serious, feeling that the moon abroad is more round, and even the air is fragrant.

I remember when I was in elementary and junior high school, the highest FLAG set by my grandmother for Fang Jie was to be a national leader. Now I am a lot more rational and my values ​​have changed.

Now studying abroad is the most face-saving thing, then if you can marry a Yanma back, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is equivalent to a counter-attack, it is a bunker!

Fang Jie, who has rebirth memories, of course knows what a ridiculous value or belief this is.

But 20 years later, the value of Hand cramps.

Of course, you can't blame the stars for this. They are just senior wage earners. What really dominates all this is the capital behind it.

Capital has no feelings, and the pursuit of profit is its essence.

After lunch, when a bunch of relatives continued to make trouble at the grandparents' house, Fang Jie took a total of 1600 yuan of lucky money received from his parents and all relatives at the dinner table, said goodbye in advance, and went to the Internet cafe to implement his first plan.

But before that, he had to go home and grab Li Qing.

This is one of the second major long-term goals. You can't do things without regard for one or the other. You have to grasp with both hands, and both hands must be hard!

Back to the tower, go straight to the sixth floor neighbor Li Yi's house.

The situation in Li Yi's family is very similar to that of Fang Jie.

Li Yi's father was also a section chief, but he was the section chief of the inspection department of the smelting branch company. He had the same rank as Fang Wanxing, but his status and reputation were far worse. He belonged to the department head of a department with only one office.

Li Yi is also an academic bully. He is currently a sophomore at Beijing University, majoring in computer science. Later, it is said that he entered a relevant state department... Anyway, the people around Fang Jie seem to be very good, maybe this is the so-called circle.

Fang Jie's arrival was naturally warmly received by Li Yi's family.

After a long chat, Fang Jie called Li Yi and Li Qing to the balcony, and said with a smile: "There's nothing interesting at home, how about we go to the Internet cafe to play games?"

Li Yi, who was studying at a university in Beijing, seemed to have this intention, and agreed: "Okay!"

"What is an Internet cafe?" Li Qing didn't understand what the two were talking about.

At the beginning of 2000, there was no term for Internet cafes in Tongcheng, nor for provincial capitals. Only the first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou just appeared in such a relatively high-level name at the time.

Fang Jie couldn't help but patted his head and explained to Li Qing with a smile. "It's a computer room with Internet access, where you can play games online."

"Oh!" Li Qing suddenly realized.

She knew the computer room, it was a computer game room that could play single-player or LAN games.

She has always liked to play games since she was a child. Her family bought red and white consoles earlier than her brother and Fang Jie's. When she was in elementary school, Fang Jie went to her house to play game consoles for a while. Nice to go to her house.

Hearing about being able to play games online, Li Qing immediately became very interested. She couldn't wait to hold the two of them's arms and walked towards the door, saying, "Okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up and hurry up. Time to play for a while!"

Such an intimate gesture, my brother Li Yi, who is accustomed to it, didn't think there was any problem.

Fang Jie's mind was swayed, thinking that this little loli is really simple and cute. Don't you know that this is stepping on the tail of the big bad wolf, and it may be eaten at any time?
When going down the stairs, Li Yi walked in front, Fang Jie hung in the middle, and after deliberately pulling a distance from the other party, she whispered to Li Qing who was behind her: "You also slept so late last night? "

Li Qing pretended not to care and nodded: "Well."

Fang Jie asked again, "Why are you sitting in the living room? Look at me?"

"No way!"

Li Qing blushed suddenly, raised her hand and beat Fang Jie twice.

Seeing that the little girl was thin-skinned, Fang Jie laughed, but he didn't make fun of the other party anymore, and quickened his pace to keep up with Li Yi.

On the way, Fang Jie directly chatted with Li Qing in front of Li Yi, and the topic of course became more serious: "What are your plans for graduating from art school?"

Li Qing was originally Fang Jie's next year's junior, but when she was in the second and third year of junior high school, she realized that she would definitely not be admitted to high school, so she skipped a grade and went to a secondary school. So now they are in the same class, she faces Finding a job after graduating from art school.

"do not know."

When talking about this, Li Qing was very depressed.

When she went to the art school, she did not think it through carefully, mainly because there was a teacher at the art school who bewitched her to go there, saying that she could stay in the school to teach after graduation. As a result, three years passed, and the original promise was not fulfilled at all.

Brother Li Yi knew about these situations, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "When you said you wanted to go to an art school, I was the only one in the whole family who opposed it! The art school asked you to go, just to use your talent. After you run out, cross the river and demolish the bridge. Relationship background, why do others keep you teaching? I take it for granted!"

"Actually, I was against it."

Fang Jie said shamelessly: "I remember hearing you mentioned this in the summer vacation, and I opposed it. It would be great to go to school with me every day, but I went to the art school in the city. The art school was so chaotic, I thought It's not easy to protect you."

Li Qing, who was reprimanded by her brother, was about to cry, but when she heard Fang Jie's words, her face suddenly became a big red face, and she thought what did you mean by that? Why did it sound wrong everywhere? Look at me reluctantly, where do you object

Unexpectedly, brother Li Yi echoed: "Yes, Fang Jie mentioned it to me several times! You may not know that Zhang Yan, the eldest sister of your school, is his junior high school classmate. , do you think your art school can be so quiet these three years?"

"Ah? What else?"

Li Qing looked at Fang Jie inexplicably, and was quite moved.

Fang Jie sighed and didn't want to speak.

In his previous life, he was indeed a fool. Like the male 2 in a Korean drama, he gave silently, but the heroine did not know it at all. In the end, the good cabbage was cheaply given to other pigs, which was really naive.

In his heart, Li Yi asked, "Fang Jie, which university are you going to go to? Why don't you come to the capital to accompany me?"

Fang Jie glanced sideways at Li Qing, and the other party also glanced at him.

After confirming his eyes, Fang Jie said: "The capital is too far away, so just find a key university in the provincial capital to read a book."

After hearing this, Li Qing was still disappointed. It is still 100 kilometers from Tongcheng to the provincial capital, which is still a bit far...

Li Yi hates that iron cannot become steel: "When you go to a first-tier city, you will encounter different people and things, and see the world differently. It is better to read one book in the provincial capital than to read two books in the capital. New things that appear abroad, It will take half a year to be introduced to the capital, the provincial capital will take another half a year to become popular, and the copper city will have to wait half a year, such as the name of the Internet cafe.”

Well……

Fang Jie pondered, not knowing how to explain.

Speaking of the world and knowledge, I, a person who was reborn in 2021, are two years older than the present, and I can't digest it all. Why go to the capital?

The provincial capital has the advantages of being a provincial capital. It is close to home, and you can often come back to see your parents. This is one of them.

Second, Jiangcheng has millions of college students, many talents, and low labor costs, which is convenient for business development.

Then there is the place of the dragon pool and tiger's den in the capital. Any person you encounter on the road may be the second generation of officials or the second generation of wealthy people. It is easy to provoke right and wrong and cause changes. In the early stage, it is better to make a fortune in the provincial capital. .

Seeing Fang Jie's silence, Li Qing thought he was thinking of going to the capital to study at a university, and couldn't help but said, "Actually, I think the provincial capital is pretty good. You can get home within two hours by car."

Li Yike did not regard his cousin as a goddess, and immediately reprimanded: "What do you know! Think about why you have come this far!"

Li Qing's tears fell immediately, but she looked very cute when she cried.

"Oops, New Year's Eve, what are you talking about!"

Fang Jie, who was on the side, hurried to smooth things out, and at the same time patted Li Qing on the back as a sign of comfort. That's why he dared to do it now. How could he, the innocent man in the past, be so embarrassed to act like this.

Fang Jie changed the subject and said, "Li Yi, do you think making games can make money?"

Li Yidao: "Games? That's playing with things and losing your mind. Just play it normally, don't think about it!"

Fang Jie chuckled: "The reason why Li Qing and I like to play games is because you brought them out. From arcade machines, to red and white machines, Xiaobawang learning machines, Saturn game consoles, and now computer games, you and Did I say that playing games is playing with things?"

Li Yi rolled his eyes and said: "I play games to learn. Before I was admitted to university, I learned the BAISC programming language through games, and I can make some simple games. I know this better than you. Now piracy is rampant, making games. The company is almost dead, making money!"

Fang Jie scratched the back of his head, but he didn't expect to meet an understanding king: "What about online games?"

"The future is unclear."

Li Yi thought about it and said: "The Internet industry is developing rapidly, but the domestic Internet infrastructure is still very backward, and the speed of the Internet restricts the development of online games. Now let alone 3D games, 2D games can't be brought. It's still the world of LAN games."

"Ok."

Fang Jie smiled noncommittally and gave Li Yi a bad comment in his heart.

Through the views revealed by the scholar Li Yi, Fang Jie understood one thing - if there is no advantage of rebirth, the scholar is also a scumbag, just following the trend, and he does not have much vision than the average person.

Li Yi's point of view is almost contrary to the historical development. If nothing else, just talk about the development momentum of the Internet... If I remember correctly, on the 10th of next month, the Nasdaq will collapse, marking the burst of the Internet bubble. .

While Li Yi was not paying attention, Fang Jie approached Li Qing and said in a low voice, "I'll show you how to make money through online games in a moment..."

With red eyes, Li Qing subconsciously grabbed Fang Jie's arm and nodded.
