Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Legend of Sword and Fairy
The next day, an announcement was published in the world's mainstream media.
"You know what? The picture can be made like this.
You know what? Because its engine is extraordinary,
You know what? It's just one step away from you!"
The background of the text is a picture of a sports car with a science fiction color, speeding down the road......
At the bottom is a line of words:
Huaxin Technology will hold the release of the world's first 3D/2D graphics acceleration card in the Wanbei Building on September 20, 1994, and at the same time launch the world's first 3D engine acceleration card based on OpenGL graphics interface.
At the same time, Wang Anran arranged for the office to print more than 200 invitation letters, and searched everything he could think of in the media, IT and IC companies.
Wanbei City is an international metropolis, and most of the media, IT, and IC companies have set up offices in Wanbei, and some have even set up branches, so the distribution of this invitation has reduced a lot of pressure.
For other corporate media, they use their published corporate email or fax numbers.
The efficiency of Zhang Lei's team was very fast, and all the invitations were distributed in one day.
Among them, Wang Anran attaches more importance to the OpenGL Standards Committee, and this fax was personally sent by Wang Anran.
Compared with the first-generation Fissioner graphics card of Huaxin Technology, OpenGL has not had a long history, and only the first-generation OpenGL 1.0 version has been released, which has many deficiencies and needs to be improved, especially in multi-scene processing and light reflection, and related support is limited.
In addition, the OpenGL Standards Committee is now considering not only improving the standard, but more importantly, promoting the OpenGL graphics standard as an industry standard.
But it's not that easy.
In 1994, in the field of display chips, there were not only old giants such as Intel and ATI, but also rising stars such as 3DFX and NVIDIA.
Why do we bury our heads in research and development, and you set standards?
In addition, Microsoft also sees the prospects in the graphics field, and also comes to plug in, and the graphics editing program interface Direct 1.0 released by it is not successful because of the lack of hardware support, but how can Microsoft easily admit defeat!
In such an environment, Huaxin Technology's Fission graphics card undoubtedly gives the OpenGL Standards Committee a big gift package, and the Fissioner graphics card is a discrete graphics card, installed on the standard PCL slot, and there are almost no requirements for hardware compatibility.
In terms of software, it comes with its own driver, and the Hongmeng SP operating system developed by Huaxin Technology is even more touching in terms of support for new hardware.
You must know that in May 1991, ATI released Mach 8, which was to ask Intel to optimize the chipset specifically to seek good compatibility of the Northbridge chip with Mach 8.
On the fissioner graphics card, there is no soft underbelly of the neck, the PCL external equipment slot is determined by you, and the OpenGL graphic programming interface is also determined by you, Huaxin Technology is just in accordance with your standards, releasing the world's first real 3D graphics card.
Now Huaxin Technology is the leader of the display industry, and Wang Anran naturally has more demands.
............
In a bar in the north of the bay, amid the noisy roar, Wang Anran raised a cocktail and took a sip, the liquor slid on the tip of his tongue, sweet, spicy, and with the foamy feeling of carbonated drinks.
Wang Anran frowned slightly, put down the wine glass, and said to Qiu Baijun on the side: "Since you are talking about things, how can you make an appointment in this place, you can't hear clearly!"
Ji Xiaoqing obviously came to this place for the first time, looking at the guests performing on the small stage with a blank face, and eating something by herself.
Zhang Lei on the side seemed to enjoy such an environment, and walked out of the private room from time to time to appreciate the demeanor of the singer on the small stage.
Qiu Baijun took a sip of wine, patted Wang Anran on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "I like this kind of place when I talk about things, there is an old saying like this.
What is a hardcore brother, the three irons in life, together in the window, together with the gun, the two of us are not classmates, nor have we been soldiers together, that is only the third iron, together P over ......"
Burst......
Wang Anran almost squirted out a mouthful of water, Ji Xiaoqing glanced at Qiu Baijun angrily, he couldn't see his face, but he also felt that his demeanor was not very natural.
Zhang Lei landed a pink fist on Qiu Baijun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You men, there is no good thing." ”
Qiu Baijun saw the pole and went up, grabbed Zhang Lei's words, pointed at Wang Anran, and said with a smile: "What Xiao Lei said is not bad at all, look at the one opposite, he is sanctimonious, and it is not a good thing at first glance." ”
"Phew, how can the boss do anything to ordinary men......"
"Anran, you have to pay attention, women, if you distinguish a man, then the next step will be dangerous......"
Zhang Lei was so embarrassed that he couldn't reply for a while, stood up and stomped his feet, almost beckoning to Qiu Baijun.
Wang Anran shook his head and said: "Old hatred, you are really, there is nothing to tease girls for, isn't there something serious? I brought the cadres of the Administration Department and the Graphics Card Division, if you have something, just say it!"
"Anran, I said that you are just boring, it's not my brother who talks about you, your character, if a woman likes you, it's weird. ”
After taking a sip of wine, Qiu Baijun continued: "Anran, today's main owner has not yet arrived, his name is Mu Zijin, and his company is called Daewoo Information, you don't need to ask anything else, you just need to know that this person is my brother, and his company is making games." ”
"Daewoo Information?"
Wang Anran's heart beat wildly, this company is too familiar.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy, an epic masterpiece, even Wang Anran, who was in the United States at the time, has been with this game for many years.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy conquered the Chinese market at once with its excellent plot and classical pictures, but it's a pity that it is not popular, because of the rampant piracy, the whole copy is not too much sold.
However, with its excellent IP, Daewoo Technology has become a first-line game company, and has subsequently developed a series of popular games such as Monopoly.
If at this time, Daewoo Technology can be pulled into its subsidiary, not only can I develop a set of high-quality games based on the HarmonyOS SP system and 3D engine through Daewoo Information.
Through this game, the influence of the Hongmeng SP system in the Chinese community can be detonated.
As for the long-term income and the excellent IP resources of Sword and Fairy, compared with the Hongmeng SP system, for Wang Anran, it is the icing on the cake.
"What time did you make an appointment?"
"Look, what are you anxious about!" Qiu Baijun stretched out his wrist and looked at his watch in the dim light.
"It's almost time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The waiter ushered people into the room, and the first thing that appeared was the milk tea he had seen two days ago, followed by Chen Sheng and a man in his twenties.
This person is Mu Zijin?
