Chapter 1040: False Alarm
The manufacturers who called to consult one after another, and the relevant discussion messages on the Internet were also one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The road ahead seems to be smooth, but for the Order of the Phoenix, the test has actually just begun.
Just after the press conference, the bad news about DC came one after another.
"Hardware upgrades, old DC users are abandoned?"
"There is no sincerity, the new Sega launch is just a handle!"
"When an underage CEO takes office, DC may be a scrap. β
Shaking his head and putting down the magazines and newspapers in his hand, Sen Xia complained: "It's really hard for Sister Yiji to be able to collect so many reports about us." β
This is a villa located in the suburbs, and Sen Xia is sitting on the rooftop of the villa at this time, looking at the sun and the news that Sister Iki has searched.
"There's negative press everywhere. Lihua, who was on the side, was also watching the news.
"Well, it should be Sony's counterattack, but Nintendo is also possible, no, maybe both. β
Looking at the woods in the distance, Senxia was thinking about it in his mind at the moment.
"Well, but don't worry too much, these game weeklies and tabloids have a very limited influence. β
On the balcony at this moment, there are only Senxia and Lihua, and the surroundings are very quiet, sitting in such a place, leisurely drinking black tea, reading books and magazines, it is also a very pleasant thing.
After the hard product comes up, what you need to pay attention to after that is the publicity, and the cost of publicity and distribution can sometimes be even higher than the development of a game itself.
However, publicity is not what Senxia is good at, so Senxia handed over the matter of publicity to the magical conch...... Phew, it was handed over to Sister Iki.
In addition, it will be Christmas in a few days, and Mori Xia also plans to take a good rest.
Today's weather is good, it is close to noon, the temperature and sunshine are very suitable, holding warm black tea in his hand, Sen Xia put down the magazine in his hand.
"Ah, what a peaceful day......"
"Hey, Mori Xia, aren't we going to have fun? Oh, and Miss. Kichishoin!"
This is English that is deliberately pretended to be Japanese-style English.
Mori Xia turned his head and saw Honey standing there smiling at Mori Xia and Lihua.
Mite is a native of the Lighthouse Country, and at this moment, Senxia and his party are in Mite's house.
Yes, this is Mit's home.
Originally, Mite was also on the mud bombardment side, but after hearing that Mori Xia was coming to the Lighthouse Country, she also came back, and then invited Sen Xia to come to her house as a guest and spend Christmas by the way.
Under her warm invitation, Senxia and they agreed.
However, even Sen Xia didn't expect that this lighthouse country sister who went to study abroad because she liked animation turned out to be Bai Fumei, who lived in such a villa alone......
And then...... Then Senxia regretted it.
Living with such a white Fumei seems to be a pretty good thing.
But Senxia then discovers that Mite seems to be as unrestrained as she is in those COS photos.
It's like now.
It's winter, but Mite is dressed very coolly.
The upper body is a sleeveless denim short vest, or ...... Well, chest-length vests?
There was no buckled chest-length vest in the middle, and with every step, Senxia was worried that she would be gone.
In the lower part, Mite wears a pair of hot pants like briefs, and the zipper in the middle of the hot pants ...... Didn't pull it up at all.
"Ahem, Miss Torret, you're going to catch a cold if you dress like this. β
Lihua reminded her with a blushing face.
However, Mite shrugged his shoulders at this: "Anyway, the air conditioning is turned on in the house, it's okay, and usually, I'm sometimes home alone, and it's okay to have nothing on me." β
"It's, it's so shameless!" Lihua's face suddenly turned red.
"Well, I'm the only one in the family anyway, so what's wrong with that?"
Mite tilted his head, and his chest, which was even bigger than Yukina, rippled even more.
"Hmm......"
Lihua seemed to be forced back a few steps by this invisible aura.
"I'm going to buy a Christmas tree for Christmas, are you going to come?"
Mite didn't seem to notice the strange thing here, she picked up the black tea next to her, and poured herself a cup too.
Mite is a photographer that Mori Natsu and Chika met when they were at COS Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it has been several years now.
But seeing such a bold and unrestrained Mite, Senxia found that he seemed to know nothing about the other party......
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not. It wasn't Senxia and Lihua who spoke, but Qianjia who came up from behind, "I'm afraid we still have a job." β
"What's going on?" Mori Xia asked.
"Huge hard, they want to buy our QICQ. Qianjia shook her head.
β...... I see, sorry, Mit, I'm afraid we don't even have time to chat right now. β
Sony or something, it's actually okay to say.
In fact, Sony doesn't have anything to fight back on this side now, Sony doesn't take the Order of the Phoenix in its eyes, otherwise, their counterattack is not just this kind of smear attack.
The damage caused by Senxia's side to Sony is more of a challenge to Sony's prestige.
It is impossible for Sony not to respond to such a challenge, so even if there are directors to exert influence, it is useless.
But if Sony values them more......
Anyway, after seeing these junk news, Senxia was relieved.
If you say that IGN or BBC are out of the now, Senxia might panic, but the problem is no.
As for Nintendo...... They were probably assessing the impact that Senxia's handheld controller would have on their GBA, right?
So for Senxia, the most troublesome thing now is actually the giant (micro) hard (soft).
"It's a robbery while it's on fire. β
Senxia immediately saw the idea of giant (micro) hard (soft).
After taking the fax from Qianjia's hand, Sen Xia was studying what the giant (micro) hard (soft) wanted to do.
At this moment, Senxia thought of the giant (micro) hard (soft) MSN.
MSN is an instant messaging app that used to be very aggressive -- and then it didn't go anymore.
There is a LINE in the mud bombardment, and a certain oriental country has QICQ, and MSN can't beat any of them.
But MSN is still very strong now.
MSN services first started running in August 1995, and then it only took half a year to exceed one million users, and last year, giant (micro) hard (soft) acquired Hotmail, and then opened up the channel between MSN and Hotmail, adding eight million users to MSN at one time.
Of course, according to Senxia's survey, the number of users who use dial-up Internet access to the network is about 3 million, and the number of users who use ADSL and broadband access to MSN is ...... Belch...... Sorry, it's not a fraction of the QICQ.
QICQ crushes MSN in terms of interaction, whether it is chat history, offline messages, or group functions, which MSN does not have.
Well, yes, MSN is a software that can't even send messages to the other side offline.
By the way, QICQ supports custom emoji packs, and the system will compress custom emojis to 10~20KB and transmit them to the other party.
MSN, on the other hand, has no such capability at all.
The most talked about by QICQ users is that QICQ provides a point-to-point file transfer system - as for the offline transfer function, Senxia wants to do it, but due to technical reasons, he can't do it at all.
Finally, QICQ also supports voice chat, especially multi-person voice.
In front of QICQ on Senxia's side, MSN is not enough to see at all, so as long as users use broadband, they will basically choose the better QICQ, because in this way, they can get an excellent online chat experience.
"Juqiang probably values our broadband users. β
After reading the request over there, Mori Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Things are not as bad as you think.
At first, Senxia thought that Ju Hard wanted to swallow the entire instant messaging system market in one go, and then forge ahead.
But at this time, Senxia knew that the giant hard was really still "Microsoft".
They just want to buy the business here and expand their users.
"Ten million dollars?
Senxia tossed the file away, then shook his head.
"Aren't you nervous?" asked Qianjia strangely.
"It's nothing, they didn't see the deeper value of QICQ, so when I saw it, I was relieved. Senxia laughed.
"Then what about this?" Qianjia looked at the document, "It's not good if you refuse directly, after all, they gave so much technical support before." β
Before, Senxia firmly hugged Microsoft's father's golden thighs, and with the help of Microsoft staff, he was able to get the operating system of the new host.
When I heard the news just now, Senxia thought that Microsoft was beating snakes and beating seven inches, and wanted to take advantage of the limelight of the new host conference to take the opportunity to acquire QICQ, otherwise Microsoft only needs to threaten the host a little, and Senxia may really have to give up the new host.
And now, after analyzing Microsoft's meaning, Senxia believes that the other party does not seem to think so highly of QICQ.
If you get into a fight with Microsoft Dad now, it won't be a wise move for Senxia.
After all, dad will always be dad, and this golden thigh must not let go.
"QICQ is absolutely unacceptable, but we may have an alternative......
Mori Xia muttered.
"But can Microsoft see it? MSN is already very good, Microsoft may not be able to see what we're proposing. β
Qianjia asked strangely.
"Yes, because Microsoft is now under antitrust investigation, we are a mud bombardment company, and those people in the big lighthouse country may turn a blind eye at that time, but if it makes a big fuss, it will not be good for Microsoft. "People leave their hometowns, and companies are the same, except for a large eastern country that can enjoy super-national treatment, in other places...... Then don't think about it for now.
Senxia thought about it, and he found out why Microsoft didn't have a hard tone.
The antitrust investigation is an important reason, if it were not for the bursting of the Internet bubble later, Microsoft may really be torn in half.
Based on this, coupled with the rigidity of the structure of large companies, the other party should not press too hard.
In summary.
"A false alarm. β
Senxia sat down, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, it's possible that Microsoft just wants us to help them......"
Senxia thought of another possibility.
Things are good on the QICQ side, but MSN isn't bad either - at least for now.
So if Microsoft's real purpose is to make Senxia and them work as technology and coolies, it is also possible.
"So what do we do?" asked Qianjia.
"I think Microsoft seems to have a plan for a gaming platform as well, right?"
Senxia remembers that Microsoft also has a very delicate plan.
It's not difficult to know this - in fact, the game Bejeweled also appeared on Microsoft's online game platform at the earliest, but because Microsoft didn't value the Internet, the copyright of the game was later bought back by the developer Treasure Blossom itself.
Bejeweled was developed by Microsoft for Baokai, and the number of online users of this game "once" exceeded 100,000, but Microsoft still didn't care about it, and let Baokai buy the game copyright back.
"Senior sister, you should first make a false deal with them and figure out what Microsoft is going to do. β
In any case, the Order of the Phoenix and DC-P are now on the cusp, and before the new machine is launched, similar unimportant things can be delayed, and they can be solved simply without being complicated.
All in all, you have to find a way to prevent the spread of negative information.
"Okay," Chika nodded.
"Looks like I can continue drinking my black tea. Mori Xia decided to go back for tea.
"Wait a minute. However, at this time, Qianjia stopped Senxia.
"Anything else?" asked Senxia.
"On Christmas Eve, are you free?" Chika looked at Mori Xia.
"Christmas Eve, isn't it a big dinner at night?"
"I mean daytime. β
"During the day? Senxia replied.
"Alright," Chika nodded, and then slipped an envelope to Mori Xia, "Then let's go shopping then, the lighthouse country of Christmas, I want to see it too." β
"Well, okay. Senxia did not refuse.
Anyway, the lighthouse country of Christmas is the same as the Spring Festival holiday in a large oriental country, there are no people on the road, shopping is to look at the street scene, easy and relaxed~
But then again, could it be that Senior Sister Qianjia forcibly found a topic to call me for this matter?
Saying goodbye to Senja Qianjia, Senxia walked upstairs again, and at this time, he saw Yukino, who seemed to be looking for Senxia as well.
As soon as she saw Mori Xia, Yukino's eyes lit up.
"Yo, Yukinoβ"
Senxia was greeting Xue Nai here, but before Senxia could finish speaking, Xue Nai's side spoke first:
"--Brother, are you free on Christmas Eve?"
She asked.
......
In fact, I've been struggling with whether it's a giant hard or Microsoft OvO, because when I think of the word Microsoft, I always think about it......
This is the festival of the day.
Meow meow meow ~ I've been so burned out lately, I'm going to work codewords!
Still not out of the soul stripped QAQ.
