You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 145 I can also talk, I can also give money
However, Qin Shaoyan has always had a good psychological quality. He answered the phone calmly and asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Ma, you haven't rested at this late hour."

Ma Huateng, who was awake late at night, was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you were very successful at the American exhibition this time."

"It's okay." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The main reason is that there are no outstanding game works in this exhibition. I am the king of tigers and monkeys in the mountains, and the others are mediocre, so we stand out."

"Mr. Qin is being humble." Ma Huateng said with a smile, "I have seen many reports in China saying that Chuxin Technology's games are epoch-making products. What is the next generation called?"

"The concept of next generation mainly refers to our engine technology." Qin Shaoyan began to educate MCA. "Our engine uses many new concepts and technologies and has reached the world's advanced level."

"And our engine uses a lot of advanced technologies, such as..."

After listening for a while, Ma Huateng couldn't help but interrupt Qin Shaoyan's introduction, "Mr. Qin, what I want to ask is, what's going on with your "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare"? I saw some news reports said it was a stand-alone game?"

Qin Shaoyan readily admitted, "Yes, it is a stand-alone game, but an online battle mode will be added in the future."

He actually admitted it readily? !
Ma Huateng was speechless and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Qin, where is the Counter-Strike online game you promised us?"

"Didn't I say that the FPS I was making was an online game? Why did it become a stand-alone game?"

"Mr. Ma, you don't understand game development, so you misunderstood me, but I don't blame you." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "You don't understand my good intentions."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Mr. Ma, you don't understand game development, right?"

"Mr. Ma, let me ask you, is my game engine awesome?"

Qin Shaoyan let out a sigh of relief, it's okay if you don't understand.

Ma Huateng nodded, "It's indeed amazing, very shocking."

"Mr. Ma, is there anything wrong with what I do?"

"We have made a lot of improvements in the engine, and to be on the safe side, we first made a stand-alone machine to verify bugs. We will not officially apply it to online games until all technical verifications are passed."

“If you don’t consider the game image quality, you can have an FPS online game in a year or two.”

"Huh?" Ma Huateng was stunned. What did Qin Shaoyan mean by this?
"FPS research and development is easy to get started with, but difficult to master." Qin Shaoyan explained, "Small companies can create an FPS game, but this kind of game can only be played simply, and there is still a long way to go before it is a finished product. Needless to say, there are some problems with online gaming.”

"Originally, the publicity was good. Everyone said that Chuxin Technology and Penguin were collaborating on FPS online games. But why did you suddenly have a single-player FPS game?"

"But." Qin Shaoyan raised his voice, "Mr. Ma, I, Qin Shaoyan, cannot fool Penguin with inferior works. I still have this professional ethics."

"Does Penguin know anyone about this?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"When Valve made Half-Life 2, it took three or four years, and the cost reached million US dollars. Of course, this was mainly due to the problem that it took too much time to use the new engine."

"Uh, no problem." Ma Huateng replied subconsciously.

"I don't understand." Ma Huateng admitted honestly.

Qin Shaoyan said categorically, "Our future online games will use the new engine to achieve the best graphics."

"No." Ma Huateng sighed. If Penguin had talents in this field, he would have done it himself. There would be no need to find another game agent.

"After engine problems are improved in stand-alone games, online games can use mature technologies to reduce development costs and improve user experience." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Stand-alone games are the pioneers of online game technology. I have mentioned this concept many times. , no one in the industry pays attention to it.”

"The development of FPS online games can be completed in just one or two years."

"Ah?" Ma Huateng was very surprised, "Is it so fast?" "Of course, besides, I am personally responsible for it, so research and development is not a problem." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "Mr. Ma, why are you so anxious?"

In fact, Qin Shaoyan did not lie to Ma Huateng. FPS online game development is indeed simpler than other online games.

Take a familiar game as an example. Xiaomen, which developed CF, is just a small game factory, and the entire development team does not have many people.

In 2004, the South Korean FPS online game "Special Forces" was launched and was very popular in South Korea, so Xiaomen decided to follow suit and develop an FPS game. In January 2007, it negotiated with Penguin for agent operation, and then delivered it for testing and improvement.

So CF became a national-level online game, known as "the dream of 300 million mice."

Ma Huateng was relieved to hear Qin Shaoyan's conclusive guarantee.

Qin Shaoyan still has credibility.

However, Ma Huateng was still a little worried and asked: "Mr. Qin, is there a rough schedule for the development of online games?"

"Before 08, I want to complete the stand-alone version first. After all, V Agency gave me million US dollars." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a while, "And I also have an online game in cooperation with Sohu, and they also paid for it. , and also transferred the shares of Pixel Software to me, which I had agreed with Mr. He of Sohu years ago.”

Ma Huateng understood at this time that what Qin Shao said was that he wanted to play games with me and queue up at the back.

Faced with such rhetoric, Ma Huateng had nothing to say.

After all, everyone spent money, and Penguin just signed a letter of intent for cooperation with an exclusivity clause.

"Mr. Qin, I can also negotiate, and I can also give you money." Ma Huateng said with a hint of jealousy and resentment.

"Let's talk about this when I get back to China." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Mr. Qin, are you going back to China next week?" Ma Huateng couldn't help but ask.

"I can't tell, I still have a lot of things to deal with in the United States, and I will go to V Club with the development team for a while." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "After all, if you want to make an FPS game, you need to communicate and learn more with people from V Club. "

Ma Huateng was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, people from South Korea's NEXON came to contact us a few days ago."

"They said they have the license to develop the online game Counter-Strike, and told us not to believe you."

Qin Shaoyan immediately frowned and asked displeasedly: "What else did the Korean say?"

"Well, they criticized you very much. They also told me about the Golden Keyboard Award and said you were a liar." Ma Huateng immediately explained, "Mr. Qin, the Koreans are talking nonsense, and I didn't believe them."

Qin Shaoyan was happy, "This is how Koreans compete in business, right?"

Ma Huateng echoed: "The Koreans' methods are indeed unsound."

"Mr. Ma." Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly and said solemnly, "The Golden Keyboard Award was personally awarded to me by Gabe Newell, the boss of V agency. It is a famous award in the American gaming circle. Koreans made rumors about me. ”

"Mr. Qin, please calm down. Koreans have never seen the world, so don't be like them." Ma Huateng comforted him quickly.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Ma, let's talk later."

After putting down the phone, Qin Shaoyan's face darkened.

Bangzi, you are very impatient, right?
