Yan Xinlei believes that the entire society is a single-player game, and the purpose is to win to gain money and power.

The operating mechanism of society is that citizens are all playing the same stand-alone game: politics, law, property, etc.

People are chasing higher academic qualifications, higher positions, more savings, and bigger properties. Most people, throughout their lives, only play single-player games.

In contrast, online games such as culture, religion, and country must show diversity, constantly innovate, keep up with the trends of the times, and play a set of eternal games.

The most intuitive view is, of course, that the online game approach is correct, because fame and wealth are just fleeting, and the greatest value in life is often a more far-reaching impact.

Then, Yan Xinlei gave an example using Zhou Buqi.

When it comes to starting a company, if you think of the shopping mall as a battlefield, then the most important thing in running a business is to eliminate competitors. This is a stand-alone game with the purpose of winning.

But those great entrepreneurs do not become bigger and stronger by attacking competitors, but are customer-centered. In order to meet the needs of customers, they constantly innovate themselves. This is an online game with the purpose of continuation.

For example, if the target is set on competitors, the size of the structure will be determined. If the opponent is a company worth 10 billion, then the entrepreneur's structure will be 10 billion. If the goal is to meet customer needs, the size of the structure can be infinitely enlarged.

.Because customer needs have no limitations and are constantly changing.

This example gave Zhou Buqi a flash of inspiration.

The truth is really right!

For example, what is the goal set by Lenovo? To become the world's No. 1 PC company. Then, it did it, and it is indeed very powerful. But this is a stand-alone game with a winner and a loser. When the winner is announced, the motivation is gone. Glory

no longer.

The layout is limited.

Huawei is different. It wants to break through the technological blockade of the great powers so that the country will no longer be bullied. There is no victory or defeat involved. The purpose is to continue. It is an online game.

The patterns are limitless.

"The game consists of four parts: rules, referees, participants and spectators. If it is a stand-alone game, the spectators can only watch, and the participants can only play under the constraints of the rules and under the supervision of the referee. Online games are different. In order to

To keep the game going, we must constantly change the rules to cater to the needs of participants and even the audience.”

"interesting."

Zhou Buqi smiled, feeling that this proposition was a bit big, and he really couldn't understand it in a short time.

Yan Xinlei continued: "So in the playground of online games, participants can unite the audience, influence the referee, and even change the rules of the game. Online games have no boundaries and can constantly change the rules and broaden the boundaries."

Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat.

If we regard this society as an online game, who are the rules, referees, participants, and spectators? Can participants and spectators influence the referee and modify the rules in reverse?

It seems to work really well.

After years of complaints from the express delivery industry and the living needs of the people, the industry has finally reformed, and the government and enterprises have been separated. The separation of the post office and the postal company marks the arrival of spring for the domestic express delivery industry.

However, the two names of stand-alone games and online games are not accurate enough.

More precise vocabulary is needed to describe these two game modes.

This idea is very exciting.

Because stand-alone games are the apparent game mode in this society, most people, institutions and organizational units operate under this mode.

Online games are a more high-end one, another way of thinking in another dimension.

Using the thinking of online games to play single-player games is a dimensionality reduction attack.

And this idea also exactly solves the biggest problem currently plaguing Zhou Buqi - how can the many scattered businesses under Ziweixing be integrated using one theory?

The thinking of online games can just explain it.

As long as it can meet customer needs, there are no boundaries, no goals, and even the rules must change frequently.

Players of stand-alone games play within the boundaries and under the existing rules; players of online games always play within the boundaries and constantly promote rule reform.

For example, the players of "World of Warcraft" are all at level 60 and are on the border. They can trigger the revision of the rules and open a new large dungeon of level 70. Everyone will continue to explore the next border, then level 80, 90

Level, level 100...

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

I feel like this idea is a bit complicated.

"Why do you think of this?" Zhou Buqi asked him in surprise.

Yan Xinlei said: "I just think those people in the class are quite boring. Some people are trying to get to the student union, some people are trying to flatter the teacher in various ways, and some people are thinking about scholarships and poverty alleviation funds every day. It's totally true.

With the thinking of stand-alone games, I think we can do something bigger."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment.

Yan Xinlei said with emotion: "In this world, most people are playing stand-alone games, a few people are playing online games, and there are even some people who don't even know that life is like a play."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "The concepts of stand-alone games and online games are not accurate. Many stand-alone games are disguised as online games, and many online games are actually stand-alone games connected to the Internet. You can use a more accurate word, huh

…finite games and infinite games.”

"Finite...infinite...well, yes, that's what it means!" Yan Xinlei clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I think it makes sense. Finite games are played within boundaries, but infinite games are played within boundaries."

Zhou Buqi looked at him strangely, "You're not studying philosophy? Are you interested in philosophy?"

Yan Xinlei said: "We major in business management, and I am a game expert. I usually think more and think more deeply, and I figured it out."

Zhou Buqi really wanted to say, you are really weird!

However, I have to admit that this guy has a lot of ideas.

Very novel and intuitive.

Yan Xinlei went on to say: "Great people play online...well, infinite games. No matter how well you play a finite game, it is just a 'fighting dog' for the amusement of the world. If you are willing to transcend and play an infinite game

The game is "fighting against the sky" or "fighting against the earth". You must either have great ability, intelligence and perseverance, or you must have a free and easy and self-sacrificial spirit that does not care about other people's opinions."

"The former's great achievements are easy to understand. How to understand the latter's self-sacrifice?"

"Some people are tired of the game and don't want to be controlled by the game, so they quit mentally. But their physical bodies are still in the game. What can they do? They often die very tragically, and there often are some weird and great deaths.

The most that can be gained by using the Dharma is later pity, regret, or enlightenment, and pursuit of fame after death.”

"So profound?"

Zhou Buqi was really unexpected, and he was really impressed by this guy.

Yan Xinlei nodded and sighed, "Many geniuses who died young, hermits who escaped from the world, or people who sacrificed for a certain idea or emotion all ended up like this. If life is a gladiatorial game, this kind of people are actually in the game.

On the outside, they are non-violent and non-cooperative, and they are very great heroes. But from the perspective of the inside of the game, their life may sometimes be a complete tragedy. They are often beaten until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen, and they even have to rely on others for help.

"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Then you still want to play the infinite game?"

Yan Xinlei said: "The infinite game is correct, it is a higher perspective. With the thinking of the infinite game, it will definitely be very simple to enter the finite game again."

"It is right to make choices from a higher perspective and then work hard to improve your abilities after choosing the right path."

"You think so too?"

"Well, the domestic education system cultivates generalists. If a Chinese major has to take exams in mathematics, physics and chemistry, no matter how high the ability is, what's the use? The direction chosen is wrong."

Yan Xinlei was very happy and said excitedly: "Yes, you are absolutely right!"

Zhou Buqi asked him with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I want to drop out of school and work with you."

"ah?"

"You are my roommate. I have this resource, why don't I make good use of it? This is the most stable and ruthless life choice. All of our classmates are stupid. If we receive a scholarship worth thousands of dollars, everyone will be jealous.

They are extremely envious. But they have no idea that behind them is the Sunshine Avenue. All academic qualifications and achievements are bullshit."

"If your remarks get out, you will be criticized."

"What do they know? A group of players of finite games who don't understand how to play infinite games. More than half of college students across the country work in jobs that have nothing to do with the major they studied in college. But even if they have nothing to do with their major, the results achieved by college students

, far more than technical secondary school students. Why? Because university is not a place to learn knowledge, but a place to learn thinking."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Do you think your thinking is enough?"

Yan Xinlei asked back, "Isn't it enough?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What you said today was very helpful to me. Can you write this theory in detail to me later?"

Yan Xinlei was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "I just have some free time. I'll think about it for a while. There are many side details and it's a mess. I haven't sorted it out systematically. It's probably full of loopholes."

"It's okay, just write it down and I'll refer to it."

"Oh, what about me?"

"Do you really want to drop out of school?"

Yan Xinlei said: "This study is boring. Studying business management at the undergraduate level is simply a big joke."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Then you don't play games anymore?"

Yan Xinlei paused, looked up at him, and said calmly: "I won't play computer games anymore, but the game of life has just begun."

Zhou Buqi asked very strangely: "You are so smart and have such good understanding, why...why are you still being deceived by Immortal Jump?"

"There are benefits."

"What's the benefit?"

"It turns out that you, the big boss, take seriously my weird roommate who only knows how to play games every day. I will be motivated."

Zhou Buqi laughed and exclaimed: "Am I being tricked? Amazing!"
