At present, domestic game portals are also blooming everywhere, what Xunyou.com, Firefox Game Network, Tianyou.com, 168 Game Network and so on are all popping up rapidly. The 17175 website can emerge in all these online game websites, the main reason is the effect of Lin Yan's "explosive strategy", with the help of a legendary online game, the strong counterattack of auxiliary hang-up, coupled with Lin Yan's advanced consciousness and operation methods, there is a situation where today's faint portal is dominant.

Soon, however, other websites followed suit. You have an auxiliary hang-up program, and I also develop an hang-up program, or even a more powerful plug-in; you use the mobile phone bill recharge service to attract people, and I also introduce a payment window for water and electricity bills; you do player interaction strategies, no problem, I imitate. In an era when copyright protection was not well developed, none of this was a problem.

Lin Yan is not worried about this kind of competition, because he knows that following the trend at any time cannot be eliminated, and the only thing you have to do is to be one step ahead and do things that others have not thought of.

Because the 17175 online trading website is subject to payment problems and the ideology of players, the traffic and transaction volume of the platform are not particularly eye-catching, and a large amount of maintenance cost investment can be said to be beyond their means, but Lin Yan is interested in its future prospects, so it has maintained a large amount of capital strength unchanged.

Now the technical staff is divided into two parts, one is the update and maintenance and innovative development of the 17175 game information website, and the other part is game development.

The game development department in the digital world has the largest number of personnel, and with the addition of Lin Hai, the game department is also more specialized, with designers, programmers, artists, animators, and audio engineers, totaling more than 40 numbers.

The game development department is divided into several large parts, one is the hang-up assisted development of the popular online games, and even the development of plug-ins, one is the development of casual games, and the other is the development of web games.

Lin Yan even came up with the planning plan of the "Immortal Dao" page game, and asked Lin Hai, Qiu Xianlin, and Zhang Lanjun to lead the team and develop it within a year. The operation and update of the online trading platform developed by Qiu Xianlin after normal operation was also handed over to the following team members, and his main focus was also shifted to the development of web games.

In order to save the design department from brain-draining creativity, Lin Yan personally wrote out the basic materials such as the background setting, character setting, item props and other basic materials of "Fairy God Dao", and asked the artist to draw the approximate prop style according to his own oral description, the player team, task system, trading system, PVP system, etc. in the game system, Lin Yan also used the memory in his mind directly, and introduced it to the game planner in detail, so that they could arrange the design and production.

The theme of this game is adapted from domestic mythological stories, telling the story of the war between the gods and demons between the god Nuwa and Chiyou, and players can play any of the 5 professions of martial saint, flying feather, sword spirit, general star, and warlock, and go with the god Nuwa to save the world invaded by demons.

Because there are only inputs and no outputs, the company's financial report for September shows that there is an imbalance between the company's income and expenditure. Lin Hai reminded Lin Yan that he needed financing, otherwise there would be an increasing demand for funds in the later stage, and it was impossible to drop the chain at the critical stage of game development, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted.

The only thing that makes money for the company is the 17175 website platform, and now the competition has become fierce, and many game information websites have emerged. Those sites that used to only do portal search have also begun to inject capital into this field, or invest or acquire or develop, and Lin Yan also has a deep sense of crisis.

The sudden rise of 17175 has actually attracted the attention of many investment giants, and Lin Yan also receives short interest and phone calls from financing from time to time. At the same time, I also received many invitations to conferences, some said the Internet, some said that the information exchange meeting, some said that it was the Chamber of Commerce, and so on.

If Lin Yan is willing, there are still a lot of venture capital companies willing to inject it. But Lin Yan didn't want to dilute the equity of the digital world, and rejected many investors. But now Lin Hai's analysis is very reasonable, if you don't find financing, it is difficult to make a big company with your current funds, and if you reduce the number of personnel and become smaller, it is a failure. There are some things that can't be retreated, and if you take a step back, you will lose everything.

Just when Lin Yan had a headache due to the shortage of funds, Lin Hai came to find Lin Yan again.

"Mr. Lin, recent market research and our background data show that the growth trend of player visits to our 17175 website has decreased month-on-month. This has a lot to do with the increase in the number of gaming portals of our genre.

Another reason is that our 17175 website has been imitated so much, and there is no innovation in the recent version, which also affects the stickiness of players.

Among them, there is a 'Tianyou.com' website, more than 90% of which are imitations of our website design, and it is also an online game hang-up auxiliary program, many of which are free to download and use, which has attracted many players. What surprised me the most was that through the investigation, this Tianyou network has only been established for 1 month, but it actually has such a mature method, obviously very familiar with our web background programming, I suspect that our company has an internal ghost.

If the similarity of the website platform is just a suspicion, then there is now a "Legend of the Blue Wind" in the online game industry to set off a frenzy of game private servers, and the core idea of the "Legend of the Blue Wind" and the map package are all developed by our digital world, the transaction and recharge system inside, the ingots mall is unique on the market, only our own people can know.

The online game online trading system is no longer unique to us, and Yiqu.com was originally only engaged in the sale of physical goods, and now it has also begun to get involved in online transactions.

The next step of our channel promotion plan may be very expensive, so Mr. Lin's financing plan has to be implemented as soon as possible. ”

Lin Hai's words gave Lin Yan a slap in the face, if the similarity of the game portal is forgivable, but the Blue Wind Legend's ingots mall will definitely not be successfully developed in a short period of time, it can only be the leakage of the source code program.

"Find someone to carefully investigate Tianyou.com and Blue Wind Legend to find out the specific situation. Regardless of whether the company is an internal ghost or not, we are secretly acting, and when we get off work, Mr. Lin will stay, and we will discuss this matter. Now you go get busy first!" Lin Yan immediately calmed down after the initial shock.

After Lin Hai left, Lin Yan immediately went to the website to search for the legend of the blue wind, and as Lin Hai said, it is true that the propaganda can be seen on major websites, and the system features, map settings, and trading systems including equipment and props are indeed the same as the original digital world development, Lin Yan shook his head and smiled awkwardly. Then I found Tianyou.com, except that the IP of the website is not the same, and the content in it is 8 similar, Lin Yan knocked on the desktop. picked up the phone and called Zhou Lili, Chen Zhi'an and Qiu Xianlin respectively, and asked the two shareholders and the game director to come into the office to talk together.

The three of them came in one after another and greeted Lin Yan, but Lin Yan didn't get up to speak, and was silent in front of the computer. The three of them felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and looked at each other. Zhou Lili saw Lin Yan with such a gloomy face for the first time, and she was very apprehensive and uncomfortable.

Lin Yan turned the computer monitor on the table and directly asked them to look at the screen. opened the Tianyou game website, a few people took a closer look, they were a little surprised, it was simply a copy of 17175, Qiu Xianlin wiped his sweat, and some knew what it meant.

Lin Yan then opened the Legend of the Blue Wind and let the three of them take a look at it again. This time, Qiu Xianlin was not calm, his face was pale, and a cold sweat broke out on his body. This is a picture he is very familiar with, it was originally one of the products of his own department, but now it is actually used by others to operate directly, and he has a great responsibility.

Qiu Xianlin's mind instantly remembered what Zhang Lanjun said to him a few days ago, and complained about Lin Yan's timidity. At that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a little complaint from his brother, but now he can't believe this, could it be that Zhang Lanjun did all these things?

Four years of classmates, a brother in a dormitory, once in the library for a program project, the two of them together to find materials to overcome problems, once in the Blue Wind Internet café, the Internet rivers and lakes, all-nighters, and finally in the Oudian café, seven people are full of spirit, full of ambition, and start a business together. How long has it been? Why? Qiu Xianlin couldn't bear to ask.

"Blue Wind Internet Cafe", "Blue Wind Legend", Qiu Xianlin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and guessed what the connection should be.

"Lin Yan, I don't know if it's a coincidence, I think, we can send someone to the Blue Wind Internet Café to see if this Blue Wind Legend will be the server set up in the Blue Wind Internet Café. I, I'll call Zhang Lanjun over and ask!" Qiu Xianlin was already a little choked up, and his eyes were red.

Seeing this moment, Zhou Lili and Chen Zhian had already understood, and there was also a burning anger in their hearts, and Chen Zhian couldn't wait to go up and beat him immediately.

"Wait a minute, don't rush yet. It has happened, we have to calm down, everything is just speculation before the matter is settled, and we will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, but in secret. Zhou Lili, from now on, the personnel department and every employee must sign a confidentiality agreement, especially the game department, and at the same time the company strengthens security management.

Chen Zhi'an, you go to the Blue Wind Internet Café to verify whether the Legend of Blue Wind has anything to do with the Blue Wind Internet Café, and then carefully check who helped design their server and who is involved behind the scenes.

Qiu Xianlin, through technical means, you can investigate how much difference there is between the source code of Tianyou and us, check their IP address, and find out where the server is located. We also investigate all of our company's external and outgoing file records, as well as computer program copy records. Figure out if the source code is a copy of a CD-ROM copy, or sent by email, or some other way. Trying to find the evidence, of course, is difficult.

The personnel department arranges that October will soon be the end of the month, and all departments of the company will do work assessment. Qiu Xianlin, all the technicians in the game department, conducted the exam in the name of job assessment, using program code snippets as questions, hoping to find some clues. ”

Lin Yan stopped Qiu Xianlin's impulsiveness, informed the three of them of his thoughts, and asked them to startle the snake as planned, so that those people took the initiative to show their original form after seeing the measures. Once the rumors of the work assessment are released, the content of the assessment is insinuating, and then asking to sign a confidentiality agreement, those who have ghosts in their hearts will generally mess up with themselves, and may go out of their way, or hide deeper, or take the initiative to leave before signing the confidentiality agreement. Lin Yan hopes that if it is really Zhang Lanjun's doing, he will rein in the precipice under his own alarm bell and take the initiative to admit his mistakes, so that everyone is still brothers, and they can work together.

The purpose of Lin Yan's rectification is to eliminate those half-hearted people, and also to serve as a wake-up call for the company's security in the future.
