Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 786: "Blood Legend" Free

Under the scorching sun, the freshman ushered in the first summer vacation of the university.But many students did not choose to go back to their hometown immediately, but planned to take advantage of this time to learn about the outside world.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sun was shining brightly. After Wang Wei finished washing, he saw that Long Wenhao was still lying on the bed sprawled, sleeping like a dead pig. He immediately pushed him down and shouted, "Haozi, get up."

Long Wenhao watched the drama last night until midnight, and now he is very sleepy. He was forced by Wang Wei, but he still didn't wake up completely. .”

Wang Wei yelled: "It's a fart when the sky is falling. The closed beta of "Wonderful Trail" starts at [-] o'clock, and the closed beta will open at [-] o'clock in the evening. If you don't get an account, you won't be able to play."

"what……"

Long Wenhao screamed, as if a spring had been attached to his butt, he jumped up from the bed, his eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "What time is it?"

Wang Wei looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and said, "It's 52:[-]."

"Fuck!"

Long Wenhao didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he rolled out of bed, and frantically started plugging in the wires and turning on the computer.

"I hope I can still catch up. Old Wang, why don't you help me turn on the computer first? I hope there will be no blue screen..."

Since stealing the food, Long Wenhao has basically been unable to resist the games developed by Junzi Huyu, especially "Fairy Trace", which has been constantly exposing the development progress in the past two years, which he has been looking forward to for a long time.

As a college student, good-looking novels and interesting games, he can't resist these things at all.

Fortunately, the computer did not cause trouble this time, and the computer started up smoothly in just over two minutes.

soon.

It's time.

Click the mouse, tap the keyboard, and then take out the ID card account to bind. The registration process is a bit cumbersome, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of the players.

"It's finally time to start!"

After registering his account, Long Wenhao couldn't wait to log in to the game.

In front of him, the door to a new world is opening to him.

The grand background setting, various but very interesting basic settings, plus a variety of occupations and sub-jobs, the arrival of "Wizard" has impacted all players' three - the original game can also be made like this!
It is no longer a mindless hacking of monsters, but you can wander around, look at the magnificent and magical scenery inside, choose a variety of mission routes, the prehistoric land, the five major races of scorpion, scale, hair, feather, and kun , There are also different fairy sect forces, different professional talent combinations, there are too many tricks that can be played!

Long Wenhao only felt as if he had put his whole heart and soul into these episodes of either poignant or magnificent epic plots, feeling the joys and sorrows of every character in it.

Even some of the NPCs in the game "Legend of Blood" and the characters that appeared in the novel "Battle of the Conferred Gods" have been perfectly restored, and they were able to appear in "Wizard", attracting screams from countless fans.

Zhonghai, the headquarters of Junzi Interactive Entertainment.

Jiang Rongfa is very excited at the moment. Although with his efforts, Junzi Huyu has produced two popular games, "Legend of Blood" and "QQ Farm", but the success of these two games belongs to the type of slanting swords , and the real good game in his mind, it is the opposite.

But "Fairy Trail" is different!

In his mind, this is truly a "perfect" masterpiece, and it is a good game that can leave a strong mark in the history of world games!
With the progress of the closed beta, the players received rave reviews, which made him very excited.

Looking at the various data of the internal test game interface, Lu Yiming was also very happy. With the relay of "Wizard", Junzi Huyu will continue to dominate the domestic game. The throne is so stable that it is almost unshakable.

With such a new cash cow in the company, Lu Yiming has the money to toss about his industrial chain layout.

But Jiang Rongfa didn't think too much about it. He excitedly said to Lu Yiming: "If Mr. Lu hadn't invested in Junzi Huyu, I would have changed careers long ago. I wouldn't be where I am today. Sigh, thinking about it, I really lament the world. wonderful."

If he hadn't met Lu Yiming back then, if he hadn't sold the company, Jiang Rongfa felt that he might have missed out on this great honor.

In the past, there was nothing more sorrowful about domestic games than death, but now he has created a top-level IP like "Wizard" almost by himself. Jiang Rongfa can be said to have no regrets in this life.

When you love an industry to the extreme, what you need is so simple and unpretentious.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "I'm also very glad to have a helper like you. Without you, no matter how many ideas I have, it would be difficult to realize them."

What I said was sincere. Although the success of Junzi Huyu is inseparable from Lu Yiming's ideas and creativity, Jiang Rongfa's talent is also indispensable.

Game creation is not just about brainstorming. The polishing of details and the accumulation of technology are the real hard power.

And Jiang Rongfa was able to manage a large-scale development team with more than 200 people, and successfully made the giant project "Wonderful Trail", which opened a precedent in history, which in itself is a superhuman talent.

If Lu Yiming is Bole, then Jiang Rongfa is a thousand-mile horse.

Together, the two of them created the brilliance of mutual entertainment between gentlemen, and at the same time made an indelible contribution to the cultural output of the Xia Kingdom.

Lu Yiming patted Jiang Rongfa on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Lao Jiang, I hope you can always keep your original intention of loving games. I don't want Junzi Huyu to become a complete commercial company after the success of "Fairy Trail" , we must always remember that our goal is to make a game that players love, not to make the most profitable game."

Although the game company is established to make money, it is obvious that Lu Yiming has higher expectations for Junzi Huyu, hoping that this is a company that can undertake the task of cultural output.

Because he is not short of money.

Therefore, he will not even let Junzi Huyu go public.

Although it is very powerful now, Junzi Interactive Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned small and micro enterprise affiliated to Lu Yiming himself.

Lu Yiming also has a profitable game company, and that is the pig factory listed on NASDAQ.In the future, if anyone encourages Junzi Huyu to go public, it will be thrown directly to the pig factory.

Jiang Rongfa had the same goal as Lu Yiming on this point.So he said very solemnly: "Well, I will keep this original intention in mind."

The great success of "Fairy Trail" caused a frenzied shock in the game market of the entire Xia Kingdom.

In particular, Tenglong Game Company, which regards Junzi Huyu as its biggest competitor, even held a meeting overnight to discuss the chain reaction caused by the closed beta of "Xianji".

You know, this is just a closed beta with limited distribution of accounts, and it has already caused such a big commotion. After the public beta, what's the point?
Ma Teng stood in his place with a gloomy expression, as if a volcano was about to erupt.He lightly tapped the table with his right index finger knuckle, glanced at a group of executives, and then said expressionlessly: "Have everyone played the new game developed by Junzi Huyu? What do you think, let's talk about it now. "

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to speak first.After all, with Ma Teng's current state of mind, it's just a little spark, and no one dares to touch this bad luck.

In the end, Zhang Zhidong saw that no one had spoken, so he sighed and opened his mouth: "I got an account for the internal test and played for a while. Regarding the evaluation of this game, I only have two words - invincible. Whether it is the screen or the plot, It’s still the gameplay, and even the background music inside, telling the truth—there is no money spent in this world. This is a game that is piled up with money.”

Now that Zhang Zhidong spoke, the others breathed a sigh of relief and waited silently for Ma Teng to speak.Everyone is considered a veteran in the industry, and you can basically know whether a game is good or not as soon as you get started.And "Fairy Trail" is just like what Zhang Zhidong said, it is invincible.This is really not an exaggeration.

Gentleman Interactive Entertainment spent hundreds of millions of dollars and took two years to create "Fairy Trail". In this era, the word "Invincible" is literally written all over its body.

Other online games of the same type are not even qualified for comparison.

Ma Teng looked at the director of the R&D department and asked, "Old Dragon, is it possible for our Tenglong Games to develop a product of the same type?"

Director Long couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Mr. Ma, I heard that the richest man Lu spent at least [-] million yuan on Xianji. Even if we don't consider the issue of infringement, the cost alone can't bear it."

Five billion!
Ma Teng couldn't help but gasped.

According to his idea, since "Fairy Trail" is popular, we will reproduce it.

It turned out to be [-] million!
Now Tenglong has finally introduced a stick game, and before it became popular, Lu Yiming tossed it into obscenity—although he has no evidence to prove that Lu Yiming did the code leak, but Ma Teng held this pot in his hands. On Lu Yiming's head.

The current Tamron is the same as when it was doing QQ back then. Although it is not so poor that it is like pants, it is almost the same.Where do you let him go for [-] million?

Even if plagiarism saves half of the funds, that would be more than [-] million yuan, which is not affordable by the current Tenglong.

Even if there are all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and the money is taken out, what if the game fails when it is made?So Tenglong Games can't be disbanded in place?

This time, I might be in debt.

Ma Teng didn't dare to gamble.

Betting but not daring to bet, betting and failing to bet, all of a sudden fell into an endless loop.

Ma Teng scratched his head and said, "Then what shall we do now?"

Zhang Zhidong said helplessly: "In the same type of field, there is no way to go head-to-head with Gentleman Interactive Entertainment. We can only find another way. Let's go to Bangguo to see if we can represent other types of online games."

Although Ma Teng really didn't want to admit defeat, but he couldn't beat him. In business, there's no need to struggle with money. It's a bit embarrassing to admit defeat, but it's better than losing money.

In the end, Tamron Games chose to back down.

The same goes for other online game companies. Facing opponents like "Fairy Trail", colleagues shy away.

So much so that in the segmented field of MMORPG, Xia Guo's two most popular games, one is a game produced by Junzi Interactive Entertainment, and the other is also a game produced by Junzi Interactive Entertainment.

Others can only strive to compete for the position of the third child.

But it's meaningless to win, because the remaining market share is less than [-]%, and the money is not enough to rent a server.

However, just when everyone was feeling prosperous, Jiang Rongfa called Lu Yiming over.

When Lu Yiming arrived at the company, he saw Jiang Rongfa's bitter expression, and he felt a thump in his heart, and asked, "Lao Jiang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with "Fairy Trail"?"

Jiang Rongfa sighed, and said, "It's not that something went wrong with "Fairy Trail", but something went wrong with "Legend of Hot Blood"."

Hearing that it wasn't something wrong with "Fairy Trail", Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with "Legend of Hot Blood"?"

Although the lifespan of "Legend of Hot Blood" is a bit outrageous in history, but now that "Legend of Hot Blood" has been in operation for three or four years, it is not short-lived.So, when Lu Yiming heard that "Legend of Hot Blood" had a problem, he relaxed.

Jiang Rongfa said distressedly: "Because of the popularity of "Xianji", "Legend of Blood", an online game of the same type, has been greatly affected. Even the version update with many new contents cannot save it."

No way, the generation difference between the two games is there.

Jiang Rong found that this was what he was worried about. He said: "Many employees in the company now have complaints, saying that everyone is in the R&D department. Why do the employees of the "Fairy Trail" team have such high bonuses, while "Hot Blood" The income of the employees of the "Legend" team has plummeted by more than half."

If everyone's work intensity is different, that's fine. In fact, the work intensity of the two groups is not much different.They are all maintaining the game, fixing bugs, and making new copies, the process is similar.

After listening to it, Lu Yiming understood, and said, "You mean, the company can't keep a bowl of water right now, right?"

Jiang Rongfa said: "That's it. The life cycle of the game "Legend of Hot Blood" has reached, but updates and maintenance are necessary. I don't know how to deal with it now."

This problem is indeed quite troublesome. If you say that the salary is the same, it is a big pot meal. In the future, various project teams may play the same trick.But the salary is different, and it is indeed unfair to the members of the "Legend of Blood" R&D team. After all, many members of the "Legend of Blood" team came out of the "Legend of Blood" project team.Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

Jiang Rongfa said: "Why don't we just cut "Legend of Hot Blood"? Anyway, the number of players is also dropping sharply."

Lu Yiming said: "Cutting it down is too wasteful, you have underestimated the power of feelings. And the long-term income of the game "Legend of Hot Blood" is actually pretty good. Otherwise, "Fairy Trail" will still maintain point cards in the future. Fee-based model, while "Legend of Blood" is forever free."

Jiang Rongfa was puzzled: "Mr. Lu, this game is free, how can we make money?"

The game is free, and the development is still in progress, isn't that a waste of money?
Might as well cut it off.

Lu Yiming said inscrutablely: "You don't understand this, the free ones are the most expensive."
