"Mr. Gu, long time no see. ”

"Mr. Lei, hehe, it's been a long time. ”

"How is it, I heard that Mr. Gu has recently been in charge of the Sohu Game Division?"

"Don't mention it. ”

Gu Yongqiang met someone today.

This person is none other than Lei Jun, the president of Jinshan Company.

Right.

This Thunder Army was the Thunder Army known as Rebus in later generations.

Lei Jun graduated from the Computer Science Department of Wuhan Provincial University and was a man of the year in school.

Later, he used technology to decrypt Kingsoft's WPS, and the founder of Kingsoft, Qiu Bojun, was very interested in Lei Jun.

Invited Lei Jun to have a meal, and recognized Lei Jun's great talent during the meal, and invited Lei Jun to join Jinshan.

With his outstanding talents, Lei Junzhi joined Jinshan and sat all the way to the president of Jinshan.

"Hehe, isn't online games quite profitable, what's the matter, looking at Mr. Gu's appearance, what trouble did you encounter?"

"Well, that's a long story. ”

Gu Yongqiang took a sip of tea: "I have seen a lot of winds and waves in Sohu over the years, but I didn't expect that this time I was in charge of the game division, but I planted a fight." ”

Now Gu Yongqiang is under a lot of pressure.

Although Zhang Chaoyang, the boss of Sohu, has always trusted Gu Yongqiang, it is useless if he can't make a result.

No, he made an appointment with Lei Jun.

As soon as he flipped through it, he told Lei Jun about the recent events.

The Lei Jun on the side listened to it interestingly, and laughed from time to time.

Especially for the activation code mentioned by Gu Yongqiang, Lei Jun was very interested: "Activation code, hehe, I didn't expect it to be used like this." ”

Lei Jun naturally knows the activation code.

They Kingsoft Company can be said to be the earliest software company in China to use activation codes.

Like their WPS and so on, they use activation codes.

It's just that they WPS use activation codes just to prevent piracy of WPS.

Unexpectedly, the activation code can also be used in online games, and the effect is so powerful.

"That 5173 is a little interesting, as soon as the activation code came out, it turned the internal test that everyone could test into a test that required a certain qualification. And such qualifications, he stimulated players' yearning for the game, making players feel that the closed beta is sacred and not everyone can participate, thus further boosting the popularity of the game. ”

Lei Jun is a big man.

Before the major giants became famous, Lei Jun had already begun to mix IT, and it can be said that he was the predecessor of many bigwigs.

However, the IT industry is changing too fast.

Especially with the Internet, the whole industry has changed all of a sudden.

It turns out that the way of selling money by only writing software has been somewhat outdated, but Lei Jun, who is very sure of the market, has set his sights on online games. During this period of time, they Jinshan also prepared an online game, which they plan to launch on the market next year.

Gu Yongqiang just said it, but Lei Jun saw the doorway.

"Mr. Lei is really discerning, I have to say that 5173 does have two brushes, and I underestimated him before. By the way, I heard that Mr. Lei, you Xishanju are also going to enter the online game industry?"

"Yes, there is this idea. ”

Lei Jun didn't hide it, this matter had already been spread, so he said: "What is the most profitable thing in China now, Chen Tianqiao has already told us." ”

Although Kingsoft is a well-known enterprise, it is even one of the top software giants in China.

But it's useless if the software giants don't make money.

Although their WPS has played a national office software brand, it has always been unable to compete with Microsoft's word.

Although Kingsoft is still a domestic software giant, to be honest, life is really embarrassing.

At this time, I suddenly saw that online games were so profitable, and it was impossible to say that Jinshan had no idea.

Moreover, Xishanju Game Studio, a subsidiary of Kingsoft Company, started making games a few years ago.

However, at that time, they made games as stand-alone games, and they started selling well.

But then there was piracy, and the single-player game didn't sell well.

However, although the stand-alone machine is not easy to sell, it is now an online game.

Online game technology is actually not much different from stand-alone technology, and it doesn't even need to be so complicated.

All he needs is an internet connection, and a single-player game can be turned into an online game.

Therefore, Jinshan wants to turn the stand-alone game of Xishanju Studio into an online game.

Lei Jun said honestly: "Swordsman Romance has been doing stand-alone machines before, and we intend to launch the online version of Swordsman Romance. ”

"Great, I'm a fan of swordsman's love. Swordsman love can be said to be one of the best in China, and if the online version is launched, it will definitely explode. ”

"You can't say that, Swordsman Love was originally just a stand-alone game, but now it has become an online game, and we don't know if it can succeed. ”

"Mr. Lei is humble, our Sohu most anticipated online game rankings, your swordsman romance online version ranks first, and the distance between the second place is dozens of times. ”

"Huh. ”

Lei Jun said with a wry smile: "I haven't made any money from playing games for so many years, but I didn't expect to earn a lot of fame." ”

"Fame is also money, once the online version of Swordsman Love is released, I believe it will be an absolute hit. ”

"Then thank Mr. Gu for his kind words. ”

Speaking of which, Lei Jun is actually looking forward to the online version of Swordsman Love. However, Lei Jun has always been a person who strives for excellence, although he very much hopes that the online version of Swordsman Romance will be launched as soon as possible, but according to the process, it will have to be next spring at the earliest.

"By the way, Mr. Lei, have you started the promotion of swordsman love?"

"Not yet, we expect to test it next year, and there is still time for it. ”

"Mr. Lei, I think you should warm up now. ”

"Oh?"

"The online game industry is a new industry, and people are very receptive to new things. The legend of the front foot has become so popular, and the popularity of the miracle has surpassed that of the legend recently. Warming up as soon as possible can also hang the expectations of players, and if it is promoted next year, I am afraid that the time is too short and there is no hurry. ”

"That's right. ”

Lei Jun nodded.

"Hehe, Mr. Lei, how about the promotion of your online version of Swordsman Love, how about we Sohu exclusively help you publicize it?"

"This. ”

"Mr. Lei rest assured, I'm talking about Sohu, not just the Sohu Game Division. ”

Knowing that the 17173 of the Sohu Game Division is not as good as the 5173, Gu Yongqiang added another sentence.

"Okay. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Lei Jun nodded.

Although 17173 is not as good as 5173, if there is the entire Sohu portal promotion, it is not worse than 5173.

Coupled with Gu Yongqiang, an old acquaintance, I believe that the promotion efforts are not bad.

It's just that although he said so, Lei Jun still said: "But Mr. Gu, at present, Xishanju is not in charge of me, I can only verbally agree to your request." As for the formal signing of the contract, I will have to wait until next month when I am transferred to the helm of Xishanju. ”

At present, Lei Jun is the president of Kingsoft.

Although Lei Jun intends to enter the field of online games, he is not the one who is temporarily in charge of Xishanju.

Of course, the board of directors has already met before and said that Lei Jun will be transferred to Xishanju next month to fully take over the game division, and he only needs to go through the procedures later.

"Haha, Mr. Lei is humble again, it's just a matter of one sentence, I know. ”

After receiving Lei Jun's promise, Gu Yongqiang was overjoyed.

Getting the promotion of Swordsman Love, this is equivalent to getting the activation code of Swordsman Love.

In a few days, he was ready to throw out the activation code of the swordsman's love and kill the majesty of 5173.

He believes.

With the popularity of swordsman love, if this activation code comes out, I think you have any miracles?
