Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 775 You Better Talk About Games
For some reason, seeing the distorted expression on Xiong Minghua's face as if he had eaten vomit fruit, Li Zhengkai wanted to laugh.

But considering that he was still making a living under Xiong Minghua's hands, he still held back very hard.

And after Xiong Minghua heard Lu Yiming's name, it was really like Galen who had been whispered came out with a big sword, silent and broke his defense.

Digging the richest man in Asia to work for himself, let alone him, even his boss Bill Gates failed to do it back then.

After taking a deep breath, Xiong Minghua looked at Li Zhengkai, as if he was asking, or talking to himself: "Then what should we do now?"

Li Zhengkai chose to remain silent. Like everyone else, there was nothing they could do about losing to their opponents technically.

Besides, he is not a company executive, so of course he won't talk too much.

After graduating for such a long time, and struggling in the enterprise, Li Zhengkai is much smoother than when he was studying, and he is no longer stunned.

Faced with the superpower of QQ's rapid introduction of new functions, Microsoft really has no choice.Facing the encroachment of QQ on MSN's mid-to-high-end business market share, Xiong Minghua had to go all out in various ways in order to restore the declining trend, and tried every means to speed up the research and development progress, so that MSN could keep pace with QQ in terms of functions.

A software that is supposed to be prepared by white-collar workers, but its function is not as good as that of an opponent that has been looked down upon all the time. This is really too fatal.

However, what they didn't know at all was that the breakpoint transfer function that made them scratch their heads was nothing at all on QQ's side.The real ultimate move is quietly covering it.

Zhonghai,

Lu Yiming had just left the airport, and Shi Qingxue, who came to pick him up, embraced passionately, hugged her around several times, the little girl flushed with shame, "Okay, let me down quickly, there are so many people watching."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "If they want to watch it, let them watch it, let them be envious."

Shi Qingxue gave Lu Yiming a white look, and laughed and scolded: "They are all the richest man, and they are not serious."

"Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"That's not it."

"That's fine."

In the car, Shi Qingxue asked curiously: "I heard that you are not robbing users from that MSN? Why don't you stay in Baiyun City and come to Zhonghai?"

Lu Yiming said: "Of course I'm here to accompany you on a serious matter. Of course, I will do a little work by the way. I plan to talk to Jiang Rongfa about the new game, hehe."

Shi Qingxue couldn't help but rolled her eyes again, she had no resistance at all to Lu Yiming's behavior of chattering outside anytime and anywhere.

The earthy love story is actually divided into two parts.If girls are interested in you, they will ignore the earthy part, and if girls are not interested in you, they will ignore the love part.So it is reasonable that the same words have different effects.

Of course, in terms of the relationship between Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue, picking out any of these four words is positive.

Shi Qingxue was sweet in her heart, but her mouth was unforgiving: "I see you, it's the business to find Jiang Rongfa, and you met me by the way, right?"

Lu Yiming quickly complained, saying, "Career is not as important as you? I love beauties and not country!"

"cut……"

After sending Shi Qingxue back to school, Lu Yiming came to Junzi Huyu and found Jiang Rongfa.

"Old Jiang, the one we did before, "QQ Farm" is ready to go online."

The game has actually been developed a long time ago, and various stress tests have been done all the time.

But Jiang Rongfa, the developer, was somewhat resistant: "Mr. Lu, do we really want to release this game?"

In his opinion, the game is either crazy-cool graphics, or the playability is against the sky, or like those 3A masterpieces that are being produced abroad recently, no matter the graphics, playability, or even the plot, try to make it as perfect as possible. That's the real good game.

But what the hell is stealing food?
This game has no graphics, no playability, it's a hell of a thing.

To put it simply, the whole game, what the player has to do is to plant crops on the land given by the system, then water and fertilize them, and pick them when they are mature.The picked crops can be sold to the system store to make money to buy better seeds.Steal the crops that are ripe but too late to pick in the farm of your QQ friends, and then raise a dog to try to prevent the vegetables you grow from being stolen by other players.

The point is, such a simple game mechanism, good dogs and good dog food, luxury kennels and top crop seeds, actually cost real money to buy!

Not cheap!

This krypton gold mechanism is also gone.

Jiang Rongfa didn't even dare to tell others that he personally presided over the development of this game, nothing else, just for fear of embarrassment.

Lu Yiming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this game will definitely become a hit, trust me."

Jiang Rongfa suddenly laughed uglier than crying: "What I'm afraid of is that it will catch fire, and I will probably become the laughing stock of my peers by then."

Lu Yiming quickly corrected his erroneous thinking: "What you said, we develop games to please players. If you don't steal or steal, why are you afraid of being laughed at by your peers? What's more, when this game becomes popular, you will earn money if you become famous." When the money is pouring in, will those colleagues in the game industry still laugh at you? Don't be stupid, they will be the joke at that time, and you will be their uncle."

Jiang Rongfa still couldn't believe it: "Boss Lu, can this game really make money? I'm afraid the players will be so angry that they will dig my ancestral grave."

Lu Yiming hurriedly said: "How could it be? At most, you just scolded your ancestors for eighteen generations. After all, it is against the law to dig up your ancestors' graves."

Jiang Rongfa: "..."

Now that Lu Yiming has said so, he naturally has no reason to object.After communicating with Yixun, QQ Farm implanted the small program entrance of the QQ client and began to officially push it.

What surprised Jiang Rongfa was that Lu Yiming not only bound this game to QQ, but also used all the resources in his hands to promote the QQ farm crazily. The degree of insanity was not even in "Legend of Blood" back then. treatment.

Advertisements for QQ Farm appeared on every interface of Yiwen.

Yixun Technology directly spent money to invite the hottest star group in recent years, the originator of non-mainstream groups in later generations, F01, which became very popular with the TV series "Meteor Garden" in 4.

Four handsome pots and a plate of Chinese fir vegetables, and possed in front of the TV with a smile on his face, he invited the audience: "Come steal vegetables with me!"

This picture, who can stand it?
For a while, the game of stealing vegetables became popular all over the Internet, and it was unstoppable.

Although it is considered by peers as "nothing to play and extremely rubbish", it can't stop QQ Farm from constantly attacking the city in the social field.

Baiyun City, Bihailongting, NO.16 villa.

Surrounded by green hills and flowing green water, Long Wu's mansion is located here. With Lu Yiming as his backer, the company has been specializing in the high-end residential market for the past few years, and it can be said that it has made a lot of money.

The scenery is so beautiful, and the neighbors are either rich or expensive. The most important thing is that it is very close to Lu's richest man's villa, so even though he made a lot of money, Long Wu did not move, and has always lived here.

After all, the "feng shui" here is so good that a fool wants to move out.

Unfortunately, Long Wu's youngest son, Long Wenhao, is such a fool.

In the bedroom, he yelled frantically: "Sister, let me out!"

Outside the bedroom door, Long Yuzhu frowned and sighed: "Long Wenhao, you stay in the room to study for me. Dad and Mom said that you can't be released before the college entrance examination."

Earlier, Long Wenhao was playing games in a bakery outside. He took a group of his younger brothers to play "Legend of Hot Blood". He didn't go home for three whole days, and he didn't even make a phone call.

The family was worried to death, and finally Long Wu, the father, called the police to arrest the brat.

Since then, I have basically been grounded. As long as I leave the house, I will be followed wherever I go.

Long Wenhao said: "Staying at home is too boring. No one is around to cheer you up. It's so boring."

Long Yuzhu said: "If you want to play games, you can. There is a computer in the room, so you can play casually, but you have to stay at home before the college entrance examination, and you are not allowed to step out of the house."

Now Long Wu, who is not what he used to be, has completely given up on this unfulfilling son. How about his academic performance? Anyway, Yinghao International School can help with the procedures for studying abroad. After the college entrance examination, he will be sent to study directly. Come out of sight.

Locked in the room and guarded by bodyguards 24 hours a day, Long Wenhao had no choice but to turn on the computer and log in to "Legend of Hot Blood".

As a result, after going online, there were not many people online in the trade union list. His younger brothers, without him, the rich leader, were all sent back to school by their parents to study hard, and no one played games with him.

"These guys are really speechless."

Without his little brother by his side, even though the characters in the game were wearing cool equipment, Long Wenhao still felt a lack of interest, walking around in the game bored, not wanting to fight monsters or PK.

At this moment, he saw a rolling advertisement.

Speaking of which, this Junzi Huyu is also a genius. He actually advertised directly on the game interface. The slogan floated in the center of the game screen. It was hard for people not to pay attention.

Fortunately, the number of advertisements is not too many, otherwise the players would really jump up and scold.

"Web games?"

"Click to play?"

A few key words immediately attracted Long Wenhao's attention.

With the current network speed, downloading is always a headache.

When a new game is released, if you want to download it to your computer yourself, it will take an hour or two.It is estimated that after the next good game, I will not even be in the mood to play the game.

Especially in Internet cafes, not to mention the slow Internet speed, the key is to spend money. The next game will last for a few hours, and the Internet fee will be gone, and the time will be completely wasted.

The appeal of web games that are click-and-play is completely different.

This is also one of the magic weapons that made 4399 popular all over the Internet.

As long as you open the website, there are countless games, and you can play them immediately. Who can resist this.

Anyway, being idle is boring, and "Legend of Hot Blood" has no teammates, so bored, Long Wenhao began to click on the link from the QQ client.

Because it is entered from the QQ client, even the one-click login procedure is omitted, and it directly enters the game interface.

The first thing that pops up is the gameplay hint.

There are only three lines in total.

It can be said that it couldn't be simpler.

"Stealing food? Such a rubbish game is only played by idiots..."

After reading the game introduction, Long Wenhao couldn't help complaining.

But he is so bored now, so boring to such a garbage game, he still clicked into it and acted like a fool.

However, after playing this game, he couldn't stop immediately.

His mouse turned into a Q version of a big hand, crazily stealing vegetables in the farm of his QQ friends.

"I steal, I steal, I secretly, so you don't let me go out!"

And the person who was stolen was his sister Long Yuzhu!

Soon, Long Yuzhu's angry roar came from outside the house: "Long Wenhao! You stole my food!"

In the bedroom, Long Wenhao smiled even more happily.

"Haha, who told you not to let me go out?"

At this time, Long Wenhao had already forgotten what he said about the mental retardation of the game, and began to send the promotion hyperlink to all his friends.

This means that there are many people who have to steal, and it is fun to play. You steal from me and I steal from you, it is not too much fun.

In the world, there is a kind of happiness called getting something for nothing, taking advantage of others so happy.

The reason why the food-stealing game became so popular in the world where Lu Yiming lived was because it hit people's deep-seated psychology of "secret poking and poking". These two points are vividly displayed.

It’s a loss if you can’t steal your friend’s food, so many people calculate the time when their friends’ food is ripe, set countless alarm clocks, and get up in the middle of the night to steal food.

In Beijing, Xiong Minghua, the MSN division of Microsoft Xiaguo, is also using the QQ account he just applied for to steal food.As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. He downloaded QQ immediately, and even knew about the game of stealing vegetables called QQ Farm.

However, the more secretive others are, the happier they become, but the more secretive he is, the more frustrated he becomes.

MSN is in danger!

The game QQ Farm is really magical. First of all, the game is very simple and has no difficulty. It can be played by anyone, young or old.Secondly, everyone has the instinct to take advantage of others, which has nothing to do with morality, but belongs to human nature.

The combination of these two points gives QQ Farm a very strong social attribute.Because you want to upgrade faster, farming is meaningless, and only by stealing can you barely maintain your life.

The more friends you have, the more you can steal.In this way, in order to steal more food, you will take the initiative to pull in all your friends. People who do not have QQ, as long as someone around them uses QQ, they will inevitably passively contact QQ, and thus have a high probability of becoming QQ. User.

Although the top-up purchase channel has been opened on QQ Farm, Lu Yi clearly set the level very high on purpose.

First, of course, it is to encourage users to grow vegetables crazily and steal vegetables to accumulate experience.

Second, it is to prevent the free prostitution players and krypton gold players from opening up a very large gap as soon as they come up.

Lu Yiming, who has played countless online games, knows very well that if the gap between the rich and the poor is too large in the game, ordinary players will take the initiative to leave the game.

It's just the game world, if I can't provoke it, can I still hide it?If I'm not happy with this game, I won't play it.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is an instinctive body mechanism of human nature. There are not many people in this world who like to seek abuse and be abused.

People will take the initiative to adjust. If life is stressful, they will naturally find ways to reduce stress.Under such circumstances, the game official promises benefits and introduces incentives, but in fact it is useless.All rewards are temporary, if you are not willing to move the source of pressure, everything will be in vain.The player is not stupid, how could he be fooled by your sweet words?
Therefore, now Lu Yiming does not intend to give krypton gold players a chance, and let all living beings be equal for a while.

What's even more ingenious is that if users attract new registered users, they can get fertilizer rewards. This effect is better than spending money on advertising. Promote spontaneously.

How much is the fertilizer in this game worth?Although the mall shows that it costs up to one yuan per pack, it is actually just a bunch of data, and there is no cost at all.The setting of this one dollar is also to make players feel that they are paying for game props for free, which is completely in line with the psychology of taking advantage.

In fact, online games are studying the psychology of players.

A powerful game company has a department dedicated to researching psychology.

With Lu Yiming's combination of punches, it is equivalent to gaining tens of millions of salesmen without spending a penny.And these hundreds of thousands to millions of salesmen don't know how many salesmen can spread out.

Xiong Minghua, who was playing the game, was not stupid, he could see through Lu Yiming's sinister intentions at a glance, but he had no choice, as MSN now had no similar games that could compete with QQ.

At the departmental meeting, Xiong Minghua mentioned this issue, and Chen Yongzheng also had a frowning face, and asked Xiong Minghua: "What should we do now?"

Xiong Minghua's expression was very serious: "The only way is that we also build a QQ farm. I checked this game. The design difficulty is not high, and it is easy to get it out."

Compared with Xiong Minghua, who only looked at the problem from a technical point of view, Chen Yongzheng, as the head of Microsoft, still had to face, hesitantly said: "Is this not good? What if he sues us for plagiarism?"

Xiong Minghua was very calm: "We are not plagiarizing, we are just learning from each other's gameplay."

Anyway, MSN has borrowed a lot of QQ functions, and it is not a problem to borrow another one. Don't worry if there are too many lice.

Chen Yongzheng was speechless for a while, and could only say: "...well, as long as you like it."

In this way, under Xiong Minghua's order, the MSN business department immediately formed a development team, began to "learn" Yixun's ideas, set up a happy farm project team, and carried out intensive development.

They didn't even bother to change the name of the game.
