Chapter 1624: Wang Qiwen, who is about to become a sinner through the ages
"The sales of the second generation are not bad?"
Wang Qiwen was quite surprised.
The Kirin Computer II will appear sooner than expected, so the final release time here is on New Year's Day.
Actually, the software and design of the second generation have already been done before - after all, there is a GS paradigm out there.
So after the modification was made, and then tested for a month, this side has already started.
It's not impossible if it's a little later, but Wang Qiwen has too much stock before, and if he doesn't start selling now, the pressure on inventory will be great.
So, after updating all the inventory machines with the new system, they rushed over and started selling.
However, even Wang Qiwen himself didn't expect that when the second generation began to sell...... Sell like crazy.
After Wang Qiwen got the news, he waited in the store to see the situation of the machine.
It turned out that many of the people who came to buy the machine were young people who had just started working, or college students.
Looking again, he saw that everyone seemed to have a game in their hands.
Sword Art Online.
This game is an online game and is free to play.
However, in this store, the merchant was very shrewd and shouted the slogan of "Sell Kirin Computer, Send Sword Art Online Monthly Card".
"Is that the latest game from Senxia?" he thought as he hid in the corner.
Of course he knew the game.
In fact, this game is also the focus of the Kirin 2nd generation test at the factory.
But what he didn't expect was that this game would be so popular?
"Dude, I see that you all bought this game, what kind of game is this?" Wang Qiwen found a young man who had just bought a computer.
"It's not sold, it's an online game, it's free. This is a monthly card. The man said casually, he looked at Wang Qiwen again, and then said, "This game is called Sword Art Online, it is very popular, and the game screen is also very powerful." Recently, there is a very popular "Legend", you know, this game is a hundred times more fun than "Legend"!"
Yes, this old man actually asked Wang Qiwen for peace.
"Is it really so fun?" Wang Qiwen pretended to be Xiaobai.
"Of course. The other party hurriedly said, "I went to the Internet café yesterday to take a look, and I basically play this game with Kirin computers." I actually thought about the money a few months ago. At that time, there was no second generation, and the picture effect of the first generation could not reach such a top-notch. ”
"Yes, I also came to buy it when the second generation came out. I bought a GS before, but during the National Day, I was damaged by a relative's bear child, and it was too expensive to buy a kimono, and it was much more convenient to have a unicorn. I just didn't expect it to come out half a year late, and I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up. At this time, another person next to him also came over.
"The first generation can also play, but the effect is not as advanced as the second generation. The man before also said, "By the way, if you want to play, remember to go to the telecom to set up a broadband, without which you can't play online games." ”
"Oooh oh. "Wang Qiwen is really a little white this time.
However, the news still made him feel quite excited.
Looks like that's pretty good.
Because of the launch time, the time between the first and second generations of Kirin computers is quite close to the time of launch, but in this year, the development of a large eastern country has been rapid, and the development of machines is also leveraged.
What's more interesting is that just before, a ban came from the side of a large eastern country, which made the entire market a blank in an instant.
The current development of Kylin Computer is equivalent to the fact that the whole road has a country in front of the road, and there are special people blocking the road behind, so that others cannot enter.
On the cusp of this storm, even pigs can fly into the sky.
Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration, if anyone can come up with cheap technology to beat Kirin computers at this time, then the future of Kirin computers is still unknown, but since there is none...... That's where the final say goes.
Wang Qiwen doesn't have any thoughts about the game at this moment.
Because the business he does is oriented upward.
In a large eastern country, all kinds of piracy are becoming more and more rampant, and PS can sell tens of thousands of copies in the market, which is already a very remarkable achievement - even in the piracy market, the share of this software has reached one million copies, but this money can't be earned.
Therefore, in these years, most of the domestic software in a large eastern country wants to survive, and most of them have taken the above path.
If pure domestic production can't be done, then domestic production and joint ventures are the best way.
What Wang Qiwen attaches more importance to now is actually this part of the market.
"Is online gaming really so godly?"
However, Wang Qiwen found that online games seem to be ...... Pretty powerful?
Wang Qiwen once studied abroad in Mud Bang.
He knows how games are advancing computer technology.
However, if you put the word "network" in front of the game, it will be difficult to say.
Because online games are really not very easy to do.
Unlike the mud bombardment that is vigorously developing the network, a large eastern country has not yet reached the level of fiber-to-the-home.
Wang Qiwen once heard Senxia describe the beauty of the Internet age, so after he returned to China, he also conducted some research on this market.
Some of the major network enterprises in China were basically established in the past few years, probably around 98 or 99.
The main business models of these online businesses include web portals, e-commerce, instant messaging, online games, etc.
In terms of the number of Internet users, there are actually quite a lot of them in a large eastern country.
-- The number of Internet users in a large eastern country reached 8.9 million in 1999 and has grown at a rate of more than 100% in recent years.
On the other hand, during this period, the domestic network infrastructure was also rapidly rolled out, and the entire market was booming.
It was at this time that Mud Bombard saw the rapid development of the network next door, and he woke up like a dream and started to work on the E-japan project. And there was a one-step approach, and directly engaged in optical fiber to the home, not only seconds a large eastern country, but even the lighthouse country next door.
However, just last year – oh, the year before – the year before – that the dot-com bubble began to burst.
Although Sen Xia is a very powerful little butterfly, this little butterfly is not against the sky to the extent that it can change such a big thing, because this kind of thing is almost inevitable.
- Relatively speaking, a large eastern country that pays more attention to leadership is, in a sense, like a Schrödinger's box, and no one knows what is going on inside.
Wang Qiwen doesn't know Senxia's entanglement, but he understands the situation in China.
Last year, the dot-com bubble began to burst, with the Nasdaq index plummeting from 5,084 points to 1,300 points, more than 200 Internet companies going bankrupt, and the market value evaporating by $8.5 trillion.
Affected by this impression, an Internet company in a large eastern country is also suffering, forced by the pressure of funds and the policy restrictions on domestic listing, if it wants to go public, it even has to go to the lighthouse country next door - and the result is that it happened to encounter the cold winter of the Internet.
Brother Pony is lucky, he is following the path of Society A and the Order of the Phoenix, with abundant funds, and he doesn't even need financing.
Of course, in the end, Penguin still raised money, because financing is not finance, but relationships, and there is no interest, why do people help you?
It is precisely for these reasons that Wang Qiwen is actually not optimistic about the development of network business.
Of course, what he means is not that the network business must not work, but that the past two years have been the bottom of the market, and it is unrealistic to rely on this side to develop.
Wang Qiwen believes that online games can be a good supplement as a popular category on the machine, but what he didn't expect was that someone would buy a computer because of the game.
"Or else...... Go check it out?"
Speaking of which, Wang Qiwen found that he didn't seem to have played the game much either—in fact, in recent months, he has hardly had that time to play the game.
And now, Wang Qiwen cares a lot.
This game might be a lot of fun.
He grabbed a CD-ROM - because the Internet download speed is relatively slow these days, so online games also have installation disks - and a game point card, and then went back to the office.
There are quite a few machines being tested here.
However, Wang Qiwen chose his own machine.
When he plays games, on other people's computers, he just doesn't like to log in to his account.
Therefore, even if he is on the company's side, he has his own computer.
After installing Sword Art Online, he started experimenting.
Compared with the picture of the first generation, the picture of the second generation, the texture adopts a high-quality design, and there is an anti-aliasing design in the game, and the picture of the whole game, compared to the first generation, is really a big upgrade.
Wang Qiwen has seen the demo of this game before, but the picture over there is definitely no way to compare with the current one.
"It's so dazzling. ”
The graphics are awesome.
Then, he gave the game a try.
At the beginning, it was really a pinch.
Wang Qiwen has known this for a long time, because the game of A Society, if there is no pinching people, it is called news.
After a lap, he landed in the game.
Subsequently, he entered the monthly card number and opened the monthly card.
"The free model is good. ”
At this time, Wang Qiwen suddenly felt ...... This free model seems to be quite interesting.
This similar game first appeared on Hero's Tracks, which is free-to-play, but has a lot of extra content.
Subsequently, the krypton gold system began to develop gradually on the "Infinite Realm".
He also knows the latter game.
The charging system of this game is very special, basically everyone can play, but the game is through the monthly card system, and resources are distributed to players every day.
But at that time, he was just amazed at the crazy kryptonite of the group of people over there in the mud bombardment.
And now "Sword Art Online" is also in this mode.
"Speaking of which, a lot of the software on the market today is pirated. ”
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
In Wang Qiwen's eyes, what he suddenly looked at was the expansion of the game fee model of "Sword Art Online".
Because he found that this monthly membership model is not only suitable for the game in front of him, but also suitable for playing in other software fields.
For example, the PS over there.
This is free in the Kylin computer software market.
- But we can get a membership!
It's great that members can have network storage space and enjoy better graphics and features.
"Actually, in the normal mode, you can also add a little advertising ......"
He thought it was a good idea.
"Also, game development can be done in a free-to-play ......"
The development of China is very hard, and Wang Qiwen also knows this.
But there is nothing he can do to help everyone, because this is limited by objective laws.
But now he had an idea.
Oh, we can make free games and then charge for the content.
"Yes, yes, not only can you have additional monthly card resources, but you can also directly put weapons and functional items in the game. ”
Wang Qiwen thought about it and felt that this trick seemed to be quite good.
However, he then felt that something was not right.
This model looks good, but will it be too money-oriented?
There is a feeling of losing money in the eyes.
This feeling, Wang Qiwen is actually quite uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, I remember chatting with my uncle before, and he said that the country should vigorously develop the Internet...... "Wang Qiwen thought of something.
He didn't think the whole market was mature.
But now he looked up at Sword Art Online's server selection screen.
There are dozens of servers in this game, and all of them are already full.
Seeing these overcrowded servers, Wang Qiwen felt that his previous judgment was a little conservative, and the number of domestic network users has exceeded 10 million, although the means of payment are not yet mature, but the point card points in the application market of Kirin computer are universal, which can be said to be a "card", so I don't need to care too much about this aspect.
So, it's nice to let players play the game step by step and pay for it step by step.
"-However, I can't develop it myself, I can also invest in other people's development!"
There is no mature venture capital in China, and ordinary people may not have heard of "angel investors" and the like.
However, Wang Qiwen felt that he might be able to come here as an investor.
He is quite rich now, and from the perspective of a certain eastern power, he is definitely a standard local tyrant.
"That's right......"
He seemed to think of something, and went into his drawer.
He began to look through the contents.
There are all business cards, and he just looks through them one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a business card.
"Yes, I remember him saying before, it seems like he was going to make an online game......"
This is a person who used to be involved in real estate before, and he later went to do health care products.
But now, people are saying that they want to do the game industry.
Wang Qiwen had dinner with the other party because of his family relationship, and the other party talked about it. So he received business cards at that time. At that time, Wang Qiwen still felt that he couldn't talk to the other party.
The other party is not short of money, but lacks technology, and his own side not only has money, but also technology.
It seems good to test the water with an outsider?
Wang Qiwen nodded. Now, that's just right......
......
