Ironically, at the China Game Industry Report Conference hosted by the Department of Audio-Visual Electronics and Network Publishing Management of the General Administration of Press and Publication, and jointly organized by the Game Working Committee of the China Publishers Association, China Telecom Corporation, and International Data Corporation (China) IDC, Shanda's "Legend World" was selected as the first place in the "Top Ten Most Popular National Games"; 1st place in the top 10 most popular online games.

Well, "World of Legends" is plagiarized like that, almost printed in the same mold as "Legend of Blood", and it can actually become a national game...... I have to let people say the word "service".

Moreover, "World of Legends" is still a hot mess.

SoftBank had invested in Shanda Group in its previous life and made a lot of money.

And in this life, SoftBank invested in Shanda Group, which seems to be rolling forward along the historical wheel of the previous life.

It's just that Li Zetian will let Shanda Group grow bigger in the Chinese game market?

Li Zetian still doesn't know that SoftBank has invested in Shanda Group, if he knows, hehe, one word, do it!!

At this moment, in a small conference room of Blizzard, Li Zetian and Mike Mohan and other company executives are discussing the development of "StarCraft Online".

On the big screen in the conference room, "EVE Online" developed by the Icelandic game manufacturer (CCP) was playing, and everyone watched and talked about it.

With Blizzard's current position in the game industry, it is a bit embarrassing to learn the games of a small company. However, a good company is about learning and improving in order to stay ahead of the curve.

Plagiarism? No, that's "shameless questioning", it's a reference, it's to take its essence, and remove its dross!

Li Zetian believes that Blizzard will always develop games with their own characteristics. The originator of real-time strategy games is "Dune Castle 2", but Blizzard's development of "StarCraft" and "Warcraft 3" has become synonymous with real-time strategy games!

EVE Online is a niche game that is difficult for newcomers to get started, but Blizzard has developed a game that can be played by people all over the world, and the two games have completely different backgrounds, so the two games should be very different.

StarCraft Online is an online game, but it's sure to add some real-time strategy game ideas to the mix. Players can look for various forces to rely on, or they can stand on their own, or even be a cosmic pirate, a powerful player to build a country. Players will have their own armed forces, including warships, fighter jets, tanks, ground troops, etc., and the battle mode is by no means turn-based, and it is best to allow players to show off their operations and tactics.

Li Zetian and others discussed in the conference room for a morning, and finally decided to develop "StarCraft Online", what kind of game will be developed, naturally more time is needed to discuss. With Blizzard's lean game development speed, a new game will not be completed in two or three years. In addition, Blizzard has a tradition of skipping tickets, and it's really hard to say when the online game "StarCraft Online" will be released.

Blizzard's bounce is well-known in the game industry, what "there is a kind of bounce, called Blizzard", "no bounce, no Blizzard"......

It would be strange if Blizzard didn't bounce tickets one day.

Blizzard's ticket bouncing behavior makes players grit their teeth and admire it at the same time, which can be described as love and hate. The reason for the bounce is that Blizzard wants to pursue higher product quality, and it is precisely because of this that so many players around the world like Blizzard's games!

After lunch, Li Zetian left Blizzard, he just started, how to develop "StarCraft Online" mainly depends on Blizzard itself.

In the afternoon, Li Zetian went to eibo (Weibo) company to learn that half of the website development will be completed by the end of this year.

As for how William's Facebook project is developing, Li Zetian didn't ask, and it was all up to William to do it himself.

Three days later, when the news of SoftBank's investment in Shanda Group came, Li Zetian was only slightly startled, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this sneer, those who are familiar with Li Zetian know that someone must be unlucky!

Li Zetian's disdain does not mean that those game manufacturers in China can also disdain.

As soon as the news of SoftBank's investment of 100 million US dollars in Shanda Group came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the Chinese game industry!

Everyone can see how profitable the game is, and Shanda Group counts the money and counts the cramps in his hands because of a "legend". However, the current portal website is not very profitable, and NetEase, Sina, Sohu and other portals have sought a way to transform. Among them, NetEase's transformation direction is the clearest, which is to develop or act as an agent for games, and established the NetEase Game Division in 2001.

In addition, strong game companies have also emerged, such as Nine Cities, Giant Network and other companies.

In 2002, Jiucheng obtained the exclusive mainland distribution rights of the game "Miracle MU" developed by South Korea's EBZEN company, and as the favorite online game of Chinese mainland players at that time, Jiucheng became the only company in the industry that could compete with the grand representation of "Legend".

The Giant Network was founded by Shi Yuzhu, a person who is very famous in China and quite legendary. In 1994, he invested in health care products, and the first product was "Brain Gold", and later he almost went bankrupt because of the rupture of the capital chain caused by the investment in the Giant Building, owing 250 million yuan. Later, it made a comeback and launched the health care product "Brain Platinum", which was a great success and quickly spread to the whole country. Speaking of which, there must be no one who doesn't know the advertisement of "Brain Platinum": "I don't receive gifts during the holidays this year, and I will receive Brain Platinum when I receive gifts!"

I don't know how many people in China have been brainwashed by this advertisement......

The success of Brain Platinum once again made Shi Yuzhu on the "Forbes Rich List", therefore, Giant Network's financial resources are very strong, and unlike Jiucheng Company's agency of Korean games, Giant Network's goal is to make a game that truly belongs to Chinese online game players, create Chinese's own online game masterpieces, and is currently independently developing an online game called "Journey"!

NetEase, Jiucheng, Giant Network and other companies have held meetings to discuss SoftBank's investment in Shanda Group.

……

Tencent's headquarters in Los Angeles, USA.

It was the first time Li Zetian had met Ma Huateng face-to-face, and the other party was obviously a little nervous and excited.

"Ma Huateng, don't be nervous, I called you here from Shenzhen this time, and I have something good to tell you. Li Zetian patted Ma Huateng on the shoulder, smiled and asked, "Are you interested in the position of president of Tencent China?"

As soon as he heard this, Ma Huateng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his eyes lit up, he didn't know how he was inexplicably dug into Tencent, and now more than four years have passed, although he is working hard to climb up, but Tencent is full of talents, a radish and a pit, and it is not easy to "be promoted". At this time, he suddenly heard that Li Zetian wanted him to be the president of Tencent China, how could Ma Huateng not be excited?!

"Interested!" he hurriedly replied loudly, knowing that this opportunity was rare and could not be missed.

Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and then said: "Okay! But I have one condition, if you can defeat Shanda Group, I will let you be the president of Tencent China!! and tomorrow you will return to China, mainly in charge of Tencent's game division." Hehe, I'll just wait to see how you perform!"

Ma Huateng immediately straightened his waist and responded loudly: "Mr· Li, don't worry, I will definitely lead Tencent's Game Division to defeat Shanda Group!!"
