February 2, 2010 is 10 days away from the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday, Wang Jing and his team completed the last test of the Xingyuan application platform and successfully integrated big data push with the Xingyuan application platform.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

Luo Fan immediately contacted Meng Xianbin and asked him to help promote the Xingyuan application platform in the media.

Meng Xianbin asked Luo Fan whether he would leave the publicity entirely to them or if he had some ideas of his own.

Luo Fan thought for a while and said that in the early stage, we would start with the two games 2048 and Fruit Ninja and introduce Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., and in the middle and later stages of the promotion, we should focus on free games.

Meng Xianbin nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the afternoon of that day, Alibaba fulfilled its promise, contacted many mainstream media, and purchased press releases from them.

The next day, all major mainstream media reported on 2048 and Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Fan casually clicked on the web page and could see news reports like this on the portal: Two small games have taken the world by storm and made countless foreign friends go crazy. What kind of miracles has Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. created?

A similar headline appeared prominently in today's newspaper: How did a game that parents regarded as a scourge create tens of millions of dollars in revenue? What is the charm of 2048 and Fruit Ninja?

The double promotion of the Internet and traditional media has made the two games that had not been popular once again become popular again, and even ranked among the top searches on Weibo.

In the face of media publicity, many people became interested in both games, but after some searching, they found out that they required money, and instantly lost interest again.

Some people even think that games have to charge money, and they are crazy about money and start to insult Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Others feel that the media should not report on games, as this will lead to bad behavior for children.

There are all kinds of comments, and Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. was quickly pushed to the forefront under the influence of these comments.

The louder the discussion about Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. on the Internet, the happier Alibaba will be. Only with discussion can there be traffic.

Just like writing a novel, the scariest thing is not that others criticize you, but that no one even criticizes you.

After the public opinion fermented for two days, Ali felt that the time was almost up, and the second round of publicity they prepared began.

This time Alibaba began to direct everyone's attention to Luo Fan, the founder of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Fan himself is a very explosive person. An 18-year-old freshman has achieved such achievements. He has created two games that are popular all over the world, and he also has two patents that attract the attention of Internet giants.

This kind of story about a genius boy is the most popular one among the public.

As some of Luo Fan's deeds were exposed by Ali, many people's attention was attracted to Luo Fan.

Luo Fan received many interview requests from the media in one day.

After much thought, he rejected most of the media and only accepted an exclusive interview with the Game Channel.

At 8 a.m. on February 6, the interview team arrived at Luo Fan’s company.

Luo Fan had prepared everything in the office early, waiting for the interview team to arrive.

As soon as the interview team arrived, Luo Fan asked Qin Beibei to lead them to his office.

"Hello, classmate Luo Fan, I am reporter Jiang Wen." The female reporter who took the lead set the tone for the interview as soon as she entered the door.

They interviewed Luo Fan, an entrepreneurial college student, not Mr. Luo from Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Fan naturally understood the main direction of this interview from Jiang Wen's title.

In fact, Luo Fan had already expected this. Compared to Luo Fan, a businessman who makes games, the 18-year-old college student who started his own business and achieved certain achievements is obviously more in line with the core values.

Luo Fan then asked Jiang Wen to sit down, and then asked Qin Beibei to prepare some refreshments and send them over.

Jiang Wen smiled and did not refuse. She happened to not have eaten either!

Soon Qin Beibei came over with brewed tea and snacks.

She also carefully distributed mineral water and chocolate to satisfy their hunger to other staff members.

Jiang Wen ate tea while reviewing the interview questions with Luo Fan. After confirming that there were no questions that Luo Fan would not be comfortable answering, the interview officially began.

"Hello, Luo Fan, I am reporter Jiang Wen. You are very popular recently! I can see you when I turn on the news. An 18-year-old freshman has developed two popular games around the world.

You hold two patents with high commercial value, and you also established your own company. How did you do this?"

"Actually, it was just a coincidence! Something happened to me during the college entrance examination, and I failed to take the last English test. I was planning to repeat the exam at that time, but we had to wait until August 1st to repeat the semester.

While I was recuperating at home, I felt so bored that I always thought of some game to pass the time.

It just so happened that I taught myself programming when I first entered high school. I had already gained some proficiency in three years of high school, so I tried to make a game myself."

"Is this game 2048?" Jiang Wen asked.

"That's right."

"Student Luo Fan, you just said that you had some accidents in the college entrance examination and failed to take the English test. But as far as I know, the school you are currently attending is also a 211 university. What is your usual score?"

"My grades are relatively average, only in the early 700s."

When Jiang Wen heard Luo Fan's words, she almost stopped. She paused and asked, "Is a score of 700 still average? Luo Fan is too modest."

Luo Fan smiled and did not dwell on this issue.

Then Jiang Wen asked Luo Fan about learning programming by himself.

Luo Fan said he just learned it because he was interested, but he didn't expect that he would actually learn it.

Self-taught programming already seems to have little value in the top Versailles competition where Luo Fan's previous score was generally over 700 points.

This is actually Luo Fan's little thought. He is deliberately shaping himself into a genius with a particularly strong learning ability.
Chapter completed!
