Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1206 Web Game

On the weekend, Xie Wanghe, Shao Xingchi, Zhou Haikuo and Xia Fenghua came to visit Peking University and Tsinghua University.

After a round of walking, Xia Fenghua concluded: "No wonder so many people try their best to get into prestigious schools. The environment and facilities here are really incomparable to that of my crappy junior college."

Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi also felt emotional. They originally thought that the environment of a second-tier university was already good, but after arriving at Peking University and Tsinghua University, they realized that they were just frogs in a well.

While Xie Wang and the others were still focusing on the campus environment, Zhou Haikuo noticed the intimate looks between Qin Hao and Ma Siyi.

"Haozi, Siyi, are you two in a relationship?"

Qin Hao and Ma Siyi smiled at each other, which was considered as their agreement.

Xia Fenghua was surprised and said to Ma Siyi sourly: "Okay, you said we were good sisters, but you didn't even tell me about such an important matter."

Xie Wanghe's expression changed immediately: "It's none of your business if someone is dating someone else. Why are you so gossipy?"

"I just gossip, so what? It's none of your business."

The two of them argued with each other for a while, and Xie Wanghe pretended to be angry and ran away.

Xia Fenghua thought that she had made him angry, so she quickly chased after him.

Shao Xingchi and Zhou Haikuo looked at each other, not understanding why Xie Wanghe suddenly got so angry.

After dinner, Qin Hao and Ma Siyi sent Shao Xingchi and Zhou Haikuo to the bus stop and then returned to campus.

"Does Xie Wanghe like me?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "You didn't find out today, did you?"

Ma Siyi shook her head: "I used to think he might be in adolescence and had a sexual attraction to me, but I didn't expect that..."

"So, you don't want to help him, do you?"

Facing Qin Hao's joke, Ma Siyi spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think it's a pity that our friendship, which we've had since childhood, has changed because of this."

"Leave it to time. You just need to know that no matter what happens in the end, I will always be by your side."

"Ah."

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, two months have passed. Everyone has gradually become accustomed to the study and life on the university campus.

The same goes for Shao Xingchi and Xie Wanghe. Their knowledge of computers is still limited to playing games in Internet cafes, and all their professional knowledge has to start from scratch.

Zhou Haikuo seemed to be at ease. He had a strong interest in programming since high school. He taught himself many programming courses and his grades were always among the best in the class. It is said that he has formed a study group with several classmates with good grades. The next step is to put it into practice and write software.

Ma Siyi's foreign language courses are relatively easy, and she has more time to update her novel.

The density of economics courses is still very high, including Western economics, statistics, international economics, monetary banking... which makes students who have never been exposed to similar courses before overwhelmed. Qin Hao’s three roommates are no exception. They study late into the night almost every day until the lights are turned off in the dormitory.

"Oh, Lao Qin, let's copy the homework of the teacher's stock trading simulation. What stocks do you plan to buy?"

After the lights in the dormitory were turned off, Liang Yu suddenly poked his head out from next door.

“Taihang Cement.”

Qin Hao's answer surprised Liang Yu and the other two. They opened the stock trading software on their laptops one after another. After searching, they found that this stock looked ordinary in every way and the share price was only a pitiful less than two yuan.

“Is there anything special about this stock?”

"Have you heard of the 4 trillion yuan plan?"

"You mean, you think this economic stimulus will benefit the construction industry? But why didn't you choose the leading companies in the construction industry, but the obscure Taihang Cement?"

"The cost is low, so even if we lose money, it won't be that big, and the low ticket price also means there is huge room for growth."

After listening to Qin Hao's analysis, Liang Yu and the other two felt that it made sense.

"Then we'll buy some too."

Qin Hao smiled secretly. He was not just simulating stock trading. In reality, he also emptied his family's savings and invested 6 million in Taihang Cement.

此时的股市上半年经历了2007年10月的6124点跌到了1668点，跌幅达73%。

Coupled with the impact of the financial crisis, the entire stock market is in a state of mourning.

However, with the introduction of the 4 trillion yuan economic stimulus plan, the stock market has gradually begun to rebound.

In early November, the share price of Taihang Cement began to rise gradually. By mid-November, it had hit nine consecutive daily limit ups, directly pushing the share price to 11 yuan, which doubled Qin Hao's six million yuan.

By late November, the stock price had broken through 11 yuan, causing great regret among retail investors who missed the opportunity to buy in.

However, after entering December, Qin Hao began to gradually reduce his holdings. The reason why Taihang Cement could hit the daily limit in succession was not because of its good performance, nor was it entirely because the 12 trillion economic stimulus plan was beneficial to the infrastructure sector. To put it bluntly, it was simply the Jiangsu and Zhejiang hot money playing the game of passing the parcel, with the daily turnover rate exceeding 20%.

Qin Hao had no intention of taking this deal, and he gradually sold out all of his Taihang Cement shares at an average price of 8 yuan. His capital also expanded from 600 million to 2400 million.

What’s interesting is that Liang Yu and his classmates copied Qin Hao’s homework and ended up getting a good result of top five in the simulated stock trading.

"As expected of Lao Qin, the stocks he recommends are reliable. Unfortunately, if I had known that Taihang Cement would rise so sharply, I should have persuaded my parents to sell their house and borrow money to invest in the stock market."

Qin Hao quickly advised: "Simulated stock trading is completely different from real stock trading. Investing is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market."

Liang Yu thought so, but then he became very curious: "Old Qin, why didn't you buy the stocks you recommended to us when you were trading in simulation?"

"If everyone in our dormitory buys the same stocks, wouldn't that be telling the teacher that we are copying each other's homework?" Qin Hao made up an excuse.

"That makes sense. Old Qin is really thoughtful."

……

Ma Siyi looked away from Qin Hao's laptop screen and frowned slightly: "Why are you always researching stocks recently? Even when you accompany me to class, you are still looking at the candlestick chart."

Qin Hao closed his computer, smiled and held her hand: "I just paid attention to it. After all, the market situation brought about by the 4 trillion yuan plan is not common."

"But didn't you say you had already cleared your position?" Ma Siyi lowered his voice, "Could it be that you secretly invested money again?"

Qin Hao was about to answer when the professor on the podium suddenly called on him: "The boy in the gray sweatshirt in the back row, please translate this into Italian."

Suddenly, the eyes of the whole classroom were focused on the two of them. Ma Siyi was about to "tip off" Qin Hao, but saw Qin Hao calmly saying the sentence on the blackboard in Italian.

"Well, there are no problems with the grammar and vocabulary, but I remember that you don't seem to be a student in our class?"

Before Qin Hao could speak, Li Miao raised his hand: "He is here to accompany Ma Siyi to class."

The professor half-jokingly said, "It seems that our classmate Ma Siyi's family education is very good. She taught her boyfriend Italian so well. Do you plan to immigrate to Italy with your boyfriend in the future?"

The classmates laughed and Ma Siyi's cheeks turned red. Fortunately, the professor did not pursue the matter further. He just said, "Don't pay attention in class," and continued the class.

In the cafeteria, Ma Siyi picked up a piece of fish for Qin Hao.

“So you added to your position again?”

Perhaps because of her mother, Ma Siyi has always been wary of things like pyramid schemes, stock speculation, and gambling that promise to make you rich overnight.

"Don't worry, I didn't use any leverage. Most of this money was earned from the stock market. Even if I lose it all, it won't affect my life. At worst, I can just continue writing online articles like you."

Since the advent of the Internet age, traditional magazines have been on the decline, and the royalties have been declining. Qin Hao has not submitted articles to them for a long time.

Ma Siyi pouted: "It's been a while since you updated. Your readers are probably going to send you razor blades."

"I can't help it. I've been busy lately."

"Excuse me, I think you are just lazy."

Qin Hao was speechless and could only pretend he didn't hear it.

Ding-ling-ling, Qin Hao's cell phone rang, and he saw the caller ID was Zhou Haikuo.

"Hey, how's Haikuo doing lately?"

"Oh, okay, then come over, we'll meet at the same coffee shop as last time."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Siyi asked curiously, "What does Haikuo want to talk to you about?"

"Oh, he and some classmates developed a software, and they encountered some problems, so they wanted to ask for my advice."

Zhou Haikuo and two computer science students hurried over to the coffee shop. Qin Hao and Ma Siyi were already sitting by the window.

Zhou Haikuo first introduced each other, then went straight to the point, took out his laptop and pushed it in front of Qin Hao.

"Lao Qin, we are planning to imitate Happy Farm to make a web-based social game. This is the underlying framework we designed, but some functions cannot be implemented. Can you help us find out where the problem is..."

Qin Hao went through the underlying code again and pointed out the problems first.

"I see. You are worthy of being a top student from Peking University and Tsinghua University." Zhou Haikuo's two classmates looked at Qin Hao with admiration. Science and engineering guys are like that. They will not submit to anyone else but those who are more technically skilled than themselves.

Just when Zhou Haikuo and the other two were about to go back to modify the code, they were stopped by Qin Hao.

"Have you ever thought about this question? The reason why Happy Farm became popular is not because of the game itself, but because Kaixin.com itself has a large number of highly active users. Even if you develop a game like this that is highly dependent on social interaction, how can you compete with Happy Farm in the future?"

Zhou Haikuo and the other two looked at each other and scratched their heads: "We haven't thought that far ahead. We just want to practice first."

"It doesn't hurt to practice and find the right direction first. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Zhou Haikuo immediately understood: "Haozi, if you have any ideas, just say it directly."

"How about this? I'll take out one million to set up a game company, and then invite you to develop a game. After the game is completed, I'll give each of you 100,000 RMB. Or you can join the company directly, and I'll pay you a salary of no less than 10,000 RMB a month. How do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two of Zhou Haikuo's classmates asked quietly, "Old Zhou, is your childhood friend reliable? He just asked for a million to start a company."

Zhou Haikuo shook his head: "When he was twelve years old, he led us to earn one million, one million per person."

"real or fake?"

After some discussion, Zhou Haikuo's two classmates agreed.

“What kind of game are you going to have us develop?”

Qin Hao said slowly, "I call it an idle game, which is a game that can be upgraded even when idle. The template can refer to the classic settings of "Legend" - killing monsters, exploding equipment, and upgrading, but the operation is simplified so that players can grow without being online for a long time. Nowadays, students and office workers have fragmented time, and this "lazy mode" may have a better market."

Zhou Haikuo at the side hesitated and said, "But where is the profit point of this kind of game? Legend has been declining since it changed to a free model. We can't rely on point cards to charge for a web game, right?"

"You don't need to worry about this for now. What you need to do now is to complete the design of the underlying framework as soon as possible. As for the follow-up, I will arrange it. However, within a month, I need to see a working demo. If you can't even get the basic framework done, it means that the team's execution ability is not enough."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Zhou Haikuo looked at the two classmates beside him. He definitely didn't care. As long as Qin Hao wanted to do something, he would do his best to help even if he didn't ask for money.

"Okay, then it's settled."

After seeing Zhou Haikuo off, Ma Siyi asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly want to make a web game?"

"You think the stock market is too risky, so I have to find something to do. It just so happens that Haikuo has the idea of ​​making a web game, so this is a perfect match."

Ma Siyi's eyes were full of warmth: "Actually, you don't have to accommodate me like this..."

"If you like someone, it's not considered as concession."

Ma Siyi was so moved that she offered him a kiss, but she didn't know that this scene was recorded and posted on the school website, and a curious person even gave it a very eye-catching title.

"The beauty of the foreign language department fell for the weed of the economics department."

This made Qin Hao famous in the campuses of Peking University and Tsinghua University. After all, Ma Siyi's appearance was so outstanding that she stood out even in the foreign language department which was full of beautiful girls, and had many admirers.

Qin Hao didn't care about this at all, and still "swaggered through the streets" with Ma Siyi under all kinds of envious and jealous eyes.

Three weeks later, Zhou Haikuo and his two classmates found Qin Hao with the demo.

Qin Hao tried it out and found that many structures were still a little immature. Listening to the various problems pointed out by Qin Hao, Zhou Haikuo and his two classmates looked more and more unsightly, not with anger, but with shame.

"It's not bad to be able to finish this in a month. How about this? You guys continue to develop. My game company has been registered. Next, I will recruit professional artists and architects to help you improve this game..."

Zhou Haikuo and the other two were stunned for a moment, then hugged each other and laughed.

"Haha, we succeeded."

"When the game goes online, I'm going to smack the faces of those classmates who are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!" (End of this chapter)
