In Luo Fan's hometown, Luo Yang was organizing people in the town to load fruit into trucks one by one.

Today has been a week since the major version update of Star Chat. Starting from the next day, Luo Yang became busy.

Express orders were coming like snowflakes, and Luo Yang organized everyone in the town to work together to barely catch up with the delivery speed.

Fortunately, the town itself is mainly based on fruits and vegetables, especially apples. The apples in their town are the best in the entire city.

Most of the better apples in their city are exported abroad, which also leads to the fact that there are many foreign businessmen in their city.

At the same time, many foreign businessmen came to invest here. In his previous life, Luo Fan's father had met many foreign businessmen who came to invest. Some of his friends even cooperated with foreign businessmen to set up factories. This was one of the reasons why Luo Fan's father was deceived.

Fruit, as a commodity between rigid needs and non-rigid needs, is best if you eat some, and eating some without will have no impact in the short term.

In recent years, the prices of various fruits have become more and more expensive for some unknown reason.

Wages haven't increased much, but the price of fruit has doubled several times, which has discouraged many people.

Many people even feel that there is no need to buy fruit because of its price.

In fact, the fruit itself is not expensive, what is expensive is the distributor between them.

For example, for the apples in Luo Fan's hometown, if outsiders come to the orchard, they can buy a ticket and go in to pick as they please. It is normal for people in your own town to pass by and pick apples or pears when they are thirsty.

situation.

The best apples, which meet export standards, can be sold to foreign businessmen for between 5 cents and 1 yuan.

The same apples that are not exported and sold to domestic fruit dealers cost about 3 cents each.

These dealers buy apples from fruit farmers for 30 cents, and sell them in big cities for 4 or 5 yuan per catty. Generally, you can only buy 2 or even less than 2 apples per catty. On average, one apple is

From RMB 2 to RMB 2.5, after all costs are factored out, the dealer earns RMB 1 in tears.

In this environment, if it is free fruit and it can be delivered to your door, how many people can refuse it?

Happy Farm followed the major version update of Star Chat, and Star Chat itself brought its own traffic. Coupled with Luo Fan's deliberate traffic diversion and publicity, it didn't take long for Happy Farm to show the expansion speed it should have.

With the influx of a large number of users, the social attributes of Happy Farm itself were immediately activated. Game users began to actively promote and attract friends to join, and these friends would repeat the same operations.

In the past few days, StarChat's servers have been almost overwhelmed by new users.

Fortunately, Xingyuan's cloud service center has been built, and Luo Fan directly started the server there, allowing the two servers to work at the same time.

Star Chat has great benefits for new users this time, which resulted in a very huge data flow in the early stages of the event.

After another week, a large number of newcomers received their novice benefits, and Happy Farm entered a stable period.

Luo Fan took a look at the background data and found that about 80% of the users attracted by Happy Farm chose to stay in Star Chat.

Half of these 80% of people log in to Happy Farm every day.

Because with the end of the novice benefits, Star Chat has intentionally limited the acquisition of later energy. If you want to get the fruits, you need time to slowly pile them up.

And if the user is diligent and often visits other people's forest spaces, then the waiting time can be greatly reduced, and it is basically guaranteed to receive one kilogram of fruit in one week to 10 days.

The other half of the users don't like this piece of fruit, but occasionally they will go in and take a look when they are bored. When they see the record of their energy points and water drops being stolen, they will subconsciously steal it from others.

a little.

Although the rewards are not as quick as the initial rewards, many people have received a few kilograms of free fruit, and with obvious energy data, the expectations have become very considerable.

The combination of many factors, as well as StarChat as a platform, made Happy Farm instantly become one of the games with very high daily activity. Its daily activity completely crushed the most popular game under Xingyuan, Clash of Clans.

It’s just that the daily activities in Clash of Clans make money, but the daily activities in Happy Farm lose money.

As of August 16, 2012, it had been half a month since Happy Farm was launched. After half a month of struggle, the traffic of Star Chat stabilized. Wang Jing came to Luo Fan's office with the compiled data.

At this moment, Luo Fan was discussing with Xu Jiale the next update plan for Clash of Clans.

Seeing Wang Jing coming, Xu Jiale said with a hint of ridicule: "Old Wang, why do I feel like I haven't seen you for half a month? What were you doing during this period?"

"What can we do? Over there at the Star Chat headquarters! We are so busy during this period. Many employees in our technical department, as well as many of the young men at the Star Chat headquarters, slept directly in the company and did not go home for half a month.

There are a lot of people here." Wang Jing said helplessly.

Luo Fan smiled when he heard this and said: "Mr. Wang, you can rest assured to contribute to the company. I will definitely not treat them badly. Anyone who works overtime in the past half month will receive a 5,000 bonus, plus five days of New Year's leave."

"Then I'll thank the boss for them." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"By the way, Lao Wang, I remember that there don't seem to be many women in your department, right?" Xu Jiale asked, changing the topic.

"What do you mean there are not many women? Our technical department is all made up of big men."

"Where's the Star Chat headquarters?"

"It's a little better over there, but there aren't many women."

"The same goes for our game department. We are all male, and we are all single, including me. I have grown up without a girlfriend, and my mother called me again yesterday to urge me.

Boss, I think rather than giving them more bonuses and arranging annual leave, we should find ways to solve some of their life problems," Xu Jiale said.

"You mean to arrange a blind date or something?" Luo Fan asked.

"Well! Boss, my employees have no complaints about working overtime. After all, the various benefits we provide are in place.

But they are all getting older and have to start a family and start a business. Take me for example. I am 27 this year. I have a house in Shanghai and a car, but I don’t have a girlfriend. This has become a problem for me and my family.

A matter of concern.

My parents say they have to rush me every day. I get a headache just thinking about it, and it also affects my work.

Many people in the game department are facing the same situation as me, so I think our company must step in to solve this problem."

"Boss, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Xu's statement. Our department is also full of big men. They are very busy at work and need help from the company." Wang Jing followed.

After listening to what the two said, Luo Fan also understood that many of his colleagues in his previous life were single.

Most of the people who work in their field are men, and they are generally very busy at work and rarely have time to meet girls.

In addition, most of the technical people are relatively dull and are standard honest people. This kind of men are not very popular among the opposite sex.

Luo Fan remembered that in his previous life, Xu Jiale got married at the age of 31 to a young and beautiful stewardess.

After two years of marriage, the stewardess gave birth to a son to Xu Jiale. Xu Jiale felt reassured by her and worked overtime every day.

It wasn't until one day that Xu Jiale forgot to pick up something and ran home in the middle of work that he discovered that his wife had cheated on her.

Fortunately, the child was still his. Later, Xu Jiale divorced his wife directly. Until Luo Fan was reborn, Xu Jiale was still single, and his parents took care of his son.

Xu Jiale has messed with him in this life, why can't he let this kind of drama happen again?

Thinking of this, Luo Fan said: "It is true that I ignored everyone's personal problems before, but actually thinking about it carefully, the conditions of our Xingyuan employees are quite good.

Not to mention other things, many old employees have already paid down payments to buy houses in Shanghai.

Well, hasn't our company's headquarters been completed? The leader there wants us to move there as soon as possible. I'm going to take the time to go there and talk about this. Then I'll talk to the leader there and arrange a blind date meeting.

What do you think?"

Luo Fan's words are actually correct. Xingyuan's employees are indeed quite competitive. As an upstart in the Internet industry, the first batch of employees who followed Luo Fan already have a certain amount of wealth, and many of them have bought houses and cars.

Moreover, Xingyuan is an Internet company, which is a gap in the Shanghai listed economy. It will not compete with traditional industries. In addition, the traffic is huge and has a huge publicity effect. Therefore, Xingyuan's corporate image in the Shanghai stock market is also very good.

Although the employees of Xingyuan cannot be said to be popular, they can still be called young and promising young people.

Most of the leaders around them are civil servants, one is a civil servant, and the other is an employee of Xingyuan. The civil servants are stable, and Xingyuan's income is high. The benefits of both are very good, and they are basically highly educated. This combination is quite good.

s Choice.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiale said, "Then I will wait with my brothers."

"But whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

Female civil servants in Shanghai have extremely high requirements for boyfriends. If they are from other places, it may be better. If they are local civil servants who have housing, they may not be favored by ordinary employees in Xingyuan.

However, there will always be a certain success rate if you try a few more times, which is also beneficial to the stability of Xingyuan technical employees.

During this period, with the rise of Xingyuan's various businesses, many Internet companies in outside cities began to desperately recruit people. No matter how good the benefits of Xingyuan are, they are for everyone, while headhunting is for individuals, and it cannot be prevented no matter what.

living.

It is basically impossible to transfer civil servants. As long as it is done, when there is only one Internet giant in Shanghai, it is unlikely that these employees will leave. In the early stages of Xingyuan's development, the stability of personnel is still very important.

of.

"Whether that's natural or not depends on everyone's ability," Wang Jing said.

"Ahem, what kind of boss is that? Are our company opposed to office romance?" Xu Jiale asked.

"Hmm? Mr. Xu, do you have anyone you like in the company?" Luo Fan asked with interest.

"Forget it...let's do it!"

"Who is it? It can't be Mr. Qin, right?" Wang Jing asked.

Qin Beibei was recognized as the number one beauty in the company. Not to mention Wang Jinghui thinking of her, Luo Fan felt that Xu Jiale might have fallen in love with Qin Beibei.

"No...no, how can Mr. Qin like me?"

"Who is that?" Wang Jing asked.

"This horoscope has not been revealed yet! Once it is done, let me tell you, boss, we are not opposed to office romance, right?"

"I don't object. If I object, I can't break up with Jingyi immediately? In short, it's up to you to decide whether it's possible or not!" Luo Fan said.
