The sun-exposed weather in August makes people not want to go out. However, humans are social animals after all, and the needs of social and entertainment are inevitable.

But going out in the sun is not a smart choice. As a bridge fan, Paul already feels that he is itchy and is about to buy it. It is not that shopping has become popular in the United States twenty years ago, but the jokes circulating in their circle of friends, describing Paul's fingers as flexible as octopus when playing cards. Since Paul has too many hands, he can naturally pretend to be a horny snake if he chops too much.

Ah-God knows how much he misses the days when everyone gets together and plays bridge happily.

However, since the temperature rose 37 degrees, he could no longer gather a table of people to play bridge. People would rather stay in the air-conditioned room bored than go out to meet friends. At least they would not die if they didn't play bridge, but if they went out to bask in the sun for a while, they would definitely shed a layer of skin like a snake.

When he was bored, Paul had to turn on his computer and connect to the poor 28.8kbps network, wandering around the network boredly.

"Huh, what is this?" A floating window popped up in the lower right corner of Paul's computer screen, pushing a software called "Lianzhong Chess and Cards".

"Lianzhong Chess and Cards!" The nerves in the bridge in Paul's body were triggered and he quickly clicked on the advertisement.

The introduction text on the download page really aroused Paul's interest. As long as you have a Liuer Im account, you can find someone to play bridge? This is to meet a rainy rain for a long time, and meet an old friend in a foreign land!

Paul was so excited! What else could meet his needs at this moment than a software that could play bridge with others on the Internet? This is simply a blessing for people who can't find a card friend! He couldn't believe that there was such a software. It must be a miracle that the Lord had heard my voice!

This software, this company must be the spokesperson for the master in the world!

At this moment, Paul couldn't help but burst into tears.

The launch of Lianzhong Chess and Cards is not just a separate event. In fact, its existence has even solved the biggest crisis since the operation of Liuerim.

The spirit of free sharing and other spirits that the Internet has always adhered to have made it develop very quickly. However, since its birth, the Internet's profit model has become a serious issue.

Advertising is the main means of revenue in the Internet industry. However, on the one hand, the price of Internet advertising is low, and on the other hand, visitors are very disgusted with it. This has led to the vast majority of websites having very lack of profitability in the early stage. If advertising is significantly increased in the later stage, it will be easily replaced by rising competitors.

How to explore a profit path is a roadblock facing Internet industry operators.

If you can't find this path, no matter how popular the website looks, it will inevitably end up closing down after burning out the enthusiasm of investors.

Although Liuerim launched many novel operating methods from the beginning and also made a lot of profits by selling agent rights, these are ultimately a one-time transaction and investment income. To put it bluntly, what is sold is still a vision and market for the future. If value-added services for users cannot be provided, then these will inevitably be beach bunkers and water moons in the mirror.

Under Zhou Shuo's urging, Lianzhong's server was set up very quickly. Especially with a large amount of money, the Las Vegas branch of the casino in the Nevada desert was soon launched.

The laws of each state in the United States are different, and their attitudes towards gambling are also different. If Lianzhong Chess and Cards want to involve recharge, virtual currency and other businesses, putting the server in Las Vegas is the best choice.

Although the virtual currency recharged does not have a exchange relationship with money, it cannot be considered a gambling act. In the later Penguin's chess and card games, there are also "precedents" for recharge to obtain virtual currency for games, Zhou Shuo, who is careful in everything in a foreign land, still chose to prepare for the future. After all, China and the United States have different national conditions. Even the states in the United States are different, so leaving redundancy in law is a safe choice.

In the early days of the Internet, pornography and gambling were the most popular Internet services. In the United States, the two industries with the highest online consumption rates were not popular searches or social networking, but pornographic websites and gambling websites. In these two aspects, people's generosity and stinginess in other aspects formed a sharp contrast. Of course, now this throne has given way to e-commerce such as eBay and Amazon.

If you can pay to watch small movies, no matter how complicated the procedures are, people will try it tirelessly. If you pay for other entertainment such as reading novels, people will try every means to find free shared resources. This is how human nature is, there is no need to say much.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Liuer Software Company is well-known, and now any action is almost under the watch of the entire Internet industry.

Mark Anderson locked himself in the office for a whole morning. He didn't look up slightly until his assistant knocked in.

"This Lianzhong chess and card is amazing!" He pointed to the computer screen and complained to his assistant: "Do you think Chinese people have such powerful heads? Why can this person always come up with such amazing ideas?"

"I think it might be just an exception." The assistant said cowardly: "Not everyone has this kind of vision and skill."

"The company is full of idiots, vocal bugs!" As if thinking about the pain of being forced to hand over 20% of the shares, Mark Anderson accused with distress: "Why isn't anyone able to propose such a solution? They only know how to eat Netview browser's old capital and the creativity that Americans are proud of? Sooner or later, I will drive all those incompetent guys out of the company! Then take back what I deserve from this Chinese!"

The assistant's face changed slightly and he quickly advised: "Mr. Anderson, there are many dissatisfaction with you in the company now. If you say less, otherwise the board of directors will definitely be a lot of trouble if you find out..."

As the two were talking, Mark Anderson suddenly threw his mouse on the table and cursed: "f**k! I lost my 10.6-ear coins again!"

He stood up in anger and circled around behind the desk like a tiger trapped in a cage. He pointed at the assistant and shouted loudly: "Go and find me a bridge expert in the company, I have to win back my money!"

As a result, even Mark Anderson himself became addicted to it without realizing it...

Once Lianzhong Chess and Cards were launched, it quickly attracted the first batch of players by bundling it with Liuerim account and giving away virtual coins after registration.

Before this, there were not no entertainment games on the Internet. Text online games called mud have long been popular. However, their complex operation methods and poor expressions have made the audience not wide. The emergence of Lianzhong Chess and Cards fills this gap.

The advertisements endorsed by the Las Vegas Bridge champion in the previous year were hung in almost every corner of the Internet. Liuer Im, Liuer Browser, even Netscape and American Online were also joined. There was no way, Mark Anderson's life was in the hands of Zhou Shuo. American Online and a number of famous Internet websites were also in the honeymoon period of cooperation with Liuer Software.

Zhou Shuo's influence in the Internet field may have been said to be "super god", but there is definitely no problem with "big killing and special killing".

At this time, the advantages of Liuerim's huge user group were revealed. Like I software, multi-party interactive games like Lianzhong Chess and Cards are very beneficial to the user's viscosity and expansion speed.

If a user wants to play a game of bridge with his friends, first of all, both of them need to download Lianzhong Chess and Cards' clients, and secondly, it is best to have Liuer Im software. If one of them does not have Liuer Im or Lianzhong Chess and Cards' clients, then he has to download one.

As long as the software is attractive enough to users, this effect of spreading one to ten or hundreds will be very scary when it comes to play. Maybe the invitation from a friend is nothing, but as time goes by, friends around you are gradually talking about this "Lianzhong Chess and Cards" thing, who can still sit still?

The recharge of virtual currencies has ignited the enthusiasm of players. One dollar can buy 100 points of Liuer coins. Although these virtual currencies cannot be exchanged in physical form, they can be used to place bets in Lianzhong chess and card games, or to purchase value-added services in Liuer Im.

Want a cool contact list username effect? ​​Want to increase the number of invisible users? Want to expand the number of administrators in groups? Want to use special dynamic expressions in chat?

One value-added service has been developed on Liuerim. If you do not recharge Liuer coins, of course, it will not affect the normal use of users. But it is right in front of you, constantly seducing you and seducing you, watching other paid users show off their privileges, and whose vanity is not shouting wildly.

Liuer coins are not worthless, they just cannot be exchanged for currency. But this is not difficult for the hardworking and intelligent American people. Offline Liuer coins trading soon appeared on major websites and forums, with cash in one hand and Liuer coins losing to you in the other. This not only did not reduce the recharge amount of Liuer coins, but instead aroused the enthusiasm of users because of the monetization channels it has.

Of course, it is not that there is no one who dares to make ground on Tai Sui's head. Lianzhong chess and card technology is not complicated. The chess and card games themselves and even a programmer can make a set of them. Adding network interaction functions and server-side programs is also something that software companies above the level can do.
