January 17, 2001 is the Little New Year in the North.

It is also a national statutory holiday. Starting today, Bomi employees can go home on holiday.

There is only one exception, that is, the gaming platform department that Liu Guangran is responsible for and Penguin’s QQ department.

It was originally supposed to let them go back for holidays to reunite with their families earlier, but now it is indeed an extraordinary period.

This is not good for online games. Even during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, people have to be on duty, especially when the project is first launched, it is easy to encounter some emergencies.

If there is a bug in the program during the holiday, or the server explodes, someone attacks it, etc...

If no one is in the company, he is likely to face a catastrophe.

Bomi's game platform now looks very powerful, with as many as 3 million registered users and as many as 100,000 online users, but Cao Yang, Xiao Ma Ge and Liu Guangran are very clear about it-

This little thing has only been a short month since it was born. It is still a baby in swaddling clothes and needs care.

According to Cao Yang's idea, after about half a year, the platform will stabilize and the employees will not have that much workload. Then we will make up for the fakes for them.

"Goodbye, boss!"

After work in the evening, the company's employees said goodbye to Cao Yang one by one.

It makes people feel a little sad.

In addition to the female colleagues who were embarrassed to hug each other, Cao Yang hugged and said goodbye to more than 40 colleagues from the company's game department one by one.

"Get a good rest and come back early after the New Year." Cao Yang held his hands and looked at the group of friends who had worked with him for about a year.

Employees in the Internet industry are really cute people.

Especially in 2000, this group of people was simply dying.

Since I just left college, I went directly to the company, and the atmosphere of the entire company is not much different from that of the university.

If you say that Internet companies are better than other places, it probably lacks some social atmosphere.

Of course, this is relatively speaking.

From 11 years later, the penguin has become a gu-raising base, and the intrigue of penguin employees is no less than a palace drama.

Cao Yang has a deep understanding of this.

"Okay boss."

"Boss, please be careful, don't be too tired."

"Go." Cao Yang waved his hand.

The last one to leave was Ai Xiaomi. When she came to the company today, she towed her suitcase, but she was on the train at 9 pm, so she was not in a hurry.

Ai Xiaomi walked up and tiptoed, preparing to give Cao Yang a big hug.

Cao Yang stood there and pressed her forehead, "Okay, okay. Don't engage in these formalisms."

"All right."

Ai Xiaomi rubbed the scattered bangs in front of her forehead, a little regretful.

She took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Cao Yang, "The boss is lucky."

Cao Yang wanted to speak but stopped, and almost blurted out [Eat chicken tonight]

He looked down at the red envelope on Ai Xiaomi's hand, as thin as if nothing was stuffed inside.

This is stingy.

It probably only costs one or two hundred yuan.

However, compared with other employees of the company, Ai Xiaomi is worthy of being a first-class flattery loli.

Others pointed at Boss Cao and sent them red envelopes, but there were people who did the opposite.

"Thank you, good luck." Cao Yang took the red envelope.

He is still very happy.

"Xiaomi, you are so attentive, who will you promote if I don't promote me?"

"Hehe, it's Xiaomi's luck to be able to follow the boss for three years. It's okay for me to give the boss a red envelope." Xiaomi smiled happily.

"Okay, okay, we're going to be blown away by business here." Cao Yang pinched a corner of the red envelope and fanned it out to say goodbye.

"You all come back early after the New Year, and I will send a big red envelope each of me."

This is also the old tradition of penguins.

On the first day of work, you can go to Brother Ma’s office to lead the boss’s red envelopes and take a photo with you.

It’s also very touching to speak of it. Cao Yang in his previous life was standing outside the door to receive red envelopes.

Now that Penguin has been acquired, he has become an insider.

"Thank you, boss."

Ai Xiaomi was ecstatic and bowed to Cao Yang, then ran out with her little feet and pushed the suitcase.

Looking at the back of the last employee who left, Cao Yang sighed silently.

He felt a little embarrassed when he said that.

If it weren't for the time to develop the game hall, Cao Yang originally planned to pay a 48-month bonus for each employee at this time of the year.

However, he himself did not expect the game hall to burn so much money.

This thing is similar to half a QQ, and you have to burn money first to make money.

Fortunately, the results are good.

From then on, Bomi has added a powerful tool for continuous mining, and he will have confidence to pave the way in the future.

In terms of corporate benefits, the biggest difference between online games and stand-alone games is that:

Single-player games are a one-time deal, and they are the kind that doesn’t open for three years and can be eaten for three years.

After it was released, there was only a very short profit cycle, which was about three to five months. After making this money, the game almost ended.

(Of course, it’s another story to be able to become a famous IP)

As long as the user scale reaches a certain level, online games can generate continuous profits.

This is also easy to understand. For example, there are only a few main modes in Honor of Kings. After that, only new heroes and skins are needed every year.

Chess and card games are simpler. The modes of Landlord, Mahjong and Texas Hold'em are basically relatively fixed. There is a relatively small space for gameplay expansion in the future, and it is basically concentrated on the game mode for development. At this time, the manpower required is not as tense as in the early stages.

It may be updated once or twice a year.

The gameplay is fixed, and the interaction between players becomes the core of the game. As long as there are users, they can play for the rest of their lives.

Like mahjong, it has a history of thousands of years and has not been tired of playing it yet.

So the success of the game hall means that from then on, the rear of Bomi will be stable.

Originally, he planned to sell Bomi and continue to support penguins if the game hall was smashed.

Or find ways to get some financing, even if it is sold out most of the equity, it is not a pity.

Now it seems that there is no need for it.

Although the financial report for the first month has not yet been released.

However, the single-day turnover generated by the game hall yesterday was as much as 3 million.

...

Cao Yang turned around.

"Guangran, let's go eat something, I'll treat you."

Liu Guangran raised his head and looked at the boss with some confusion.

The boss emphasized how many of the three words [I invite you] mean?

Isn’t the boss treating him to dinner usually?

The boss has so much money,

Do you still ask the employees to invite you?
