Game Dynasty

Chapter 265 Coming So Soon?

There was a slight error in the last chapter, but it shouldn't be a big deal. 【】Everyone only needs to know that wow has five supercomputers with 3 trillion operations as servers.

There is no doubt that 2004 was a bumper year.This bumper harvest continued from 2004 to 2005.It keeps the whole tour in a state of extreme excitement.

At the same time, this is also a good harvest and victory for the headquarter of the game. Since 2003, for more than a year, the turnover of the game business of the headquarter of the game has been surpassed by the website business department.In 2 alone, the large-scale online entertainment and consumer community developed on the basis of Tencent, which integrated 2004, instant messaging and flv, its value evaluation from Morgan Stanley doubled sixfold.However, in the past year and a half, the market value of You has not changed much. It was not until 04 that the market value of You reached a peak value again. In 05, when the new year came, the market value of You had already exceeded 500 million US dollars.

Undoubtedly, the big sales of the mainframe, the two big hits that carry the top game, the strategic cooperation with Glass Slag and the revealed development of the full simulation system, this makes You the industry's No. The colleagues left far behind.

Time flies.

At the end of 2005, a discussion about whether teenagers are suitable for playing games was once again brought up by some youth experts. The ridiculous thing is that the "youth experts" who raised these questions are basically uncles over 50 years old. This debate Swim to the cusp again.And the result of the debate is... the anti-addiction system, which Liu Xiang has been sighing and spurning for several years, was officially introduced under the joint action of the eight ministries and commissions.

What's even more comical is that it is You International who is responsible for developing this system.

In 2005, in addition to the introduction of the anti-addiction system at the end of the year, the biggest earthquake in the national travel industry was an acquisition.

You International, on September 2005, 9, bought Tianlu in full for 15 billion RMB!

This is a "huge" acquisition in the entire China travel industry, and even the entire China Internet and all companies. The chairman of Tianluo released all the shares in his hand with a very gracious attitude.On the day of the press conference, two equally young chairmen toasted with smiles and announced the news of the earthquake, which is suspected to be above magnitude 80 in the industry.

So far, You International has completely monopolized the country's game market.

At the same time, the game development of the fg console has also entered a bumper stage. For a console game with a development period of more than ten months and a development fund of tens of millions of dollars, game developers have to bear far more risks than the console provides. business.In the past year, the various sales guarantee policies adopted by You International have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the hot sales of consoles have also made those console game developers who are undecided finally choose to cooperate with You.This includes large Japanese software developers like Sega.

And the only thing that is a bit regrettable, or a headache, is the commonplace problem of piracy.

As we all know, the domestic piracy business has reached its peak.Especially since the Internet has entered a period of rapid development and popularization, domestic piracy has become more and more prosperous, and it has become the largest software piracy base in the world.

In the consciousness of Chinese people, since I have already bought your machine, whether it is a computer or a game console, there is no need to spend money on the software used on this machine.Just like TV, do I have to spend money to buy a TV, and should I also spend money to receive a program?

Therefore, although there is a domestic market for console sales, the market is not small.But the software... makes most developers and even gamers feel a little chilled.

Although the Chinese people were taken care of from the beginning, each game was given a version contrary to international conventions, but a console game worth hundreds or even thousands of yuan still put Youzhan on the cusp of being scolded by the masses.

In the meeting room, Zhang Jiajia, the executive president of You, is holding the regular high-level meeting every quarter, and Liu Xiang is attending the meeting as the chairman.

"Then, does the operation department have a solution to the increasingly rampant piracy problem?" Zhang Jiajia frowned, and deftly turned the ballpoint pen around.

"I think, is it possible to suppress piracy by reducing prices?"

It was Cui Bo who said this, that is, another guy who took the plane after Yu Keke. When Yuan Ye and Yu Keke were away, Cui Bo became the core of the game operation department.

"As of last month, FG's domestic sales have reached 200 million units, and this number is still slowly rising. This has already accounted for [-]% of global sales."

"But the sales of the game only reached ten thousandths of the global sales, right?" Zhang Jiajia smiled and frowned slightly.

In other words, only one out of every ten consoles sold in China will buy a genuine game!After playing all the bonus games, the vast majority of players chose to swipe chips to buy pirated copies.

"Yes." Cui Bo blushed a little, but he quickly returned to normal. After all, it wasn't the operation department's fault.It is a problem faced by the entire domestic software industry.

"Then is there any proposal, and how suitable is the positioning?"

"According to our analysis, the genuine price generally accepted by domestic players is between 50 and 150..."

When he said this, Cui Bo's face was really a little red.

As we all know... selling game consoles is a job that loses money.Although the research and development cost of w is relatively high for those who have already produced prototypes

s3 is not high, and the manufacturing cost is not high.But... that would cost thousands of RMB to make.

All the profits of the console come from selling genuine games.Fortunately, the game development cost of fg is not too high. Compared with the cost of each game of xbox, which costs tens of millions of dollars, the games of fg platform are really too cheap.

And even so, between 50 and 150rmb... this figure is a bit too ridiculous.Maybe, the Chinese proficiency of European, American, Japanese and Korean players in the future will be popularized through fg.

"Cough, cough... Let me say a few words."

Liu Xiang, who dozed off for a long time, finally spoke.Clearing his throat, he grabbed his water glass and took a sip of mineral water.

"It has been proved by the practice of countless predecessors that it is impossible to eliminate piracy in the country, or in the world. Therefore, we don't need to waste time and effort on this."

"If you want to change the machine, if you want to flash the machine, let them get it. Anyway, the latest anti-flash drive is coming out soon. Then we will adjust the sales price of some games appropriately." Liu Xiang touched his forehead and said with a wry smile.

Yes, piracy...it's an extremely serious problem.However, genuine pricing is an extremely serious problem!

In many countries with spending power, a game of hundreds of dollars is nothing more than a player's wages for a day or a few days.But in China, this is a few days or even a month's salary for the working class.

If we want to take care of domestic players, there must be pirates in Europe and the United States doing what domestic pirates do now.Compared with domestic players, it is even more depressing to lose the big bosses from European and American countries.

Somewhat depressed, he walked out of the conference room, and Liu Xiang walked into the laboratory.

Since Liu Xiang gave the laboratory the data delivered by the National Academy of Sciences half a year ago, the simple calculation of how many times Xi Xiaoding said has continued until now...

Since the full simulation equipment is led by the Academy of Sciences and has full authority to conduct research and development, You are only responsible for funding the research and development and enjoying success.As a result, before the results came out, You didn't have any reason or opportunity to get in touch with the technology and secrets of research and development.

However, this does not mean that You gave up his desire to master this cutting-edge technology.On the contrary, under the circumstance that the Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences deliberately concealed and recruited experts in the algorithm of Youshu, You also set up a laboratory to conduct theoretical demonstration and data demonstration of full analog equipment.

Almost every time the research progress of the Academy of Sciences is released, You Lab will start to get busy.Numerically analyze and reverse these ethereal progress.

After such a year, You Lab's performance is not bad. The main server for simulation has changed from a commercial server to a supercomputer with a speed of 5 trillion operations per second.On this supercomputer, the theoretical basis for the full analog equipment has also been messed up.

Walking into the laboratory, Liu Xiang saw that Ge Jun, who was in charge of presiding over the conjecture part of the network, was smiling all over his face.

"How?" Liu Xiang smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to Ge Jun.The latter took a deep breath after taking it, and then gave Liu Xiang an OK gesture. 2 network, the current network simply cannot withstand such a large data transmission. "

"According to the analysis of the server group, for such a large amount of calculation, it is estimated that the main server is not enough to use a supercomputer with ten trillion operations."

"Well, a few days ago they re-sent the plan, asking us to purchase another 30 exaflop supercomputer for research and development, but I got a exascale supercomputer." Liu Xiang smiled and agreed. Just light a cigarette for yourself.

The flamboyant Liu Xiang of the Academy of Sciences knows it very well.Supercomputers are needed everywhere, but not everyone can give them anytime.Therefore, after half a year ago, Liu Xiang was not satisfied with a ten-trillion-flop supercomputer. Liu Xiang decisively gave the Academy of Sciences a one-time job and got a one-trillion-flop supercomputer. What I got were several pieces of information that I had access to before.

Making a gesture of admiration to Liu Xiang, Yuan Ye touched his head and pointed to the inside of the laboratory, "By the way, Mr. Xi is also inside. It is said that he just came to the special line, and tomorrow the Academy of Sciences will come to discuss game development."

"what?"

coming so soon?
