I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Although Mr. Jin, the leader of Goryeo, strongly recommended that Yang Ming and others go to Jeju Island for vacation, Yang Ming found that there is really nothing interesting to see in Goryeo now.

I stayed in Korea for nearly a week.

Among them, they visited the Li family of the Samhung Group, then the Zheng family of the Hyundai Group, and some Korean chaebols who cooperated with the Imperial Group, that is, they met with the partners of the Imperial Group.

However, Yang Ming also noticed that some game companies began to appear in Korea, but now these games have little influence.

Even within Goryeo, the market is ordinary.

On the contrary, Empire Games, represented by the Silla Group, monopolized the Goryeo game market.

this day.

Yang Ming came back from a game city in Seoul.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

That is about the future of Goryeo, which has a very popular game.

"Legend", also called "Legend of Blood".

The emergence of this game not only represents the rise of Goryeo games.

Even Chen Tianqiao in China became the richest man in the country after being an agent of this game.

One can imagine how influential this game was in China and how much wealth it brought to Chen Tianqiao and Shengda at the time.

Now Yang Ming is wondering, has Gaoli's R&D team already developed this game?

Has it already appeared?

If the R&D team has appeared, Yang Ming will definitely acquire the entire R&D team.

Yang Ming recalled it in his mind.

For this game, it can be regarded as a memory from his previous life in college, because it was so popular at the time that almost all the boys in the class had played it.

Historically, Actoz was a company based in Korea who developed the Legends series. The company was founded in 1996 and released a computer game called "Legend: Overlord War" in 1998. It was this game that became an outstanding representative of the "Legend" series of products.

In 2000, Chen Tianqiao accidentally discovered this game called "Legend" in Korea. At that time, it was not called "Legend of Hot Blood", but was just called "Legend".

In 2001, Chen Tianqiao used his entire net worth of US$30 to formally sign a one-year contract with Korean developer Actoz, obtained the exclusive domestic agency rights, and launched a massively multiplayer online role-playing game at that time "Legend of Hot Blood". There are three professions: warrior, Taoist priest, and mage.

At that time, Internet cafes were all about single-player games. Once this online game was launched, it received great popularity. In the blink of an eye, the Internet cafes were full of players playing Legend, and they were overcrowded at eight o'clock every night.

Since then, after eight years of evolution and 24 version updates, version 1.76 is called "Reloaded". It is a relatively pure version with relatively low equipment confusion. Compared with the previous old version, version, there are more types of equipment, but it is not too complicated and monotonous. Reloading clothes are classics in Legend games, such as Judgment, Dragon Mark, Bone Jade, etc. When mentioning Legend, people will think of the names of these classic reloading clothes.

The later version 1.80 was called "Hero", which was launched after Shengda implemented free games.

It introduces the new map Dragon City and Dragon Equipment. The flame, thunder, and light jewelry are more exquisite than the Red Moon series, and the new weapons such as Zhentian and Xuantian are also very eye-catching. Especially the new skill Kaitian Slash gives people a domineering feeling.

The new clothes maintain a refined but not exaggerated style.

In September 2002, the source code was accidentally leaked, triggering a chain reaction: a large number of legendary private servers emerged.

The first private server in country Z began operations on September 9 of the same year, and more than 28 private servers were opened in just six months. In order to cope with the competition from private servers, the official "Legend of Blood" had to quickly carry out version iterative updates to retain players.

However, Shengda Company's poor management of the official servers has led to serious problems with internal and external plug-ins, which has greatly affected the gaming experience of many players.

Shengda ignored the problem of private servers until it was too late to realize the dangers of private servers. The situation was out of control and a large number of players were lost.

Subsequently, Shengda and the developer terminated their cooperation due to disputes, and Shengda arbitrarily added a series of paid content in subsequent version updates, causing ordinary players to suffer.

Since then, Legend of Blood has completely become a game for rich players, and many ordinary players have chosen to quit the game. Since then, Legend of Blood has begun to decline. It can be said that the origin and evolution of the "Legend" game is a story full of twists and changes.

From the creation of Actoz Company to Chen Tianqiao's launch of "Legend of Hot Blood" in Country Z, to the emergence of private servers and the management problems of Shengda Company, Legend of Hot Blood has experienced a turbulent period.

However, due to various reasons, including private server issues and strategic adjustments by Shengda Company, this game has gradually lost its former glory.

Despite this, Legend of Blood has left a deep mark on the history of gaming and has become a classic in the memories of many players. Both its origin and evolution demonstrate the unique charm and influence of the "Legend" game.

This game has already introduced Chen Tianqiao, making Chen Tianqiao the richest man in the country.

However, now that Yang Ming came to Korea for inspection, he suddenly discovered the presence of these game companies in Korea, which reminded him of the most popular domestic game "Legend" in his previous life.

It's already 1995, but I don't know if this company has appeared?

If it hasn't appeared yet, then Yang Ming has to take action in advance to avoid being taken away by the Koreans.

"gentlemen."

He Chaohuan's voice came from behind.

She found that when Yang Ming came to Goryeo, except for quietly meeting Park Jinhui, he didn't know what he was thinking most of the time.

"What are you thinking?"

"A very important thing."

This game already has Chen Tianqiao, the richest man in the country.

Although this richest man in the country seems a bit arrogant in Yang Ming's eyes, he is indeed the richest man in the country.

Therefore, for Yang Ming, this game is indeed very important.

Yang Ming took He Chaohuan aside and looked out the window.

He thought about time more clearly.

Actoz Company, whose Chinese name is Actoz, developed and tested "Legend 1998" in 1.

In 2000, Park Wan-ho, one of the founders of Atos and the person in charge of the development of Atos' core product "Legend of Mir", led the development team to "stand on its own" and established a new company, Wemade.

Developed "Legend of Mir 2", which later became popular all over the country.

This is a critical period when ATLOS is preparing to go public, and the departure of the core team will obviously have a negative impact on the listing.

So Atos offered a condition of investing 40% of the shares of Yumed Company and helping Yumed sell its products, and registered the copyright of "Legend of Mir2" as jointly owned by both parties.

After the contract expires, Artos will transfer its share of "Legend of Mir2" to Yumede.

However, with the huge success of "Legend 2" in country Z, Artos failed to fulfill its promise at the time, which also laid hidden dangers for subsequent disputes.

In November 1999, Chen Tianqiao founded Shengda Network in Shanghai and launched "Network Silicon Valley", a graphical online virtual community game with the leading concept of Country Z.

The initial business direction is to be the earliest animation community in China, establish a cartoon magazine, and purchase animation copyrights to create a "Disneyland" in the Internet industry.

Developed an online interactive entertainment community and launched the graphical online community "Heaven Returns to Valley". A few months after this project went online, it attracted 100 million users to register. It was quickly spotted by China Net and received US$300 million in venture capital. After receiving the investment, the animation community still had no income, and the future of the company was bleak.

In early August 2001, the company's previous product "Millennium" had achieved great success in country Z. It formally signed a contract with Shengda Network for US$8 to launch the large-scale online game "Legend" in the mainland and Hong Kong. 》 (English name: The Legend of Mir30).

Then Yang Ming just thought about the rise and decline of Legend and Legend of Blood in the country. (End of chapter)
