Chapter 14: Let the Storm Strike More Fiercely!

Microsoft's involvement, firstly, brought a lot of money to Villefort, and secondly, it provided countermeasures from the media.

In business duels, although it is often said that everyone does not have justice, when publicizing, they must boast that they are the protagonists of history and the righteous side.

The same is true of what Microsoft excels at.

To be honest, Microsoft's fortune process is inevitable to some extent. But there are many times when the means are not glamorous.

For example, the most popular product of the well-known Netscape company is the Netscape browser.

Why does Microsoft treat this browser company like a hostile one!?

It is because the browser can monopolize the entrance to the Internet, if Netscape's software really becomes the software that every computer has to install like office software, Microsoft may even miss an era.

Perhaps, people today do not realize the potential of the Internet.

However, in Microsoft's view, in Bill Gates's view, the potential is unlimited.

Why?

You must know that although the entire universe of the real world can be said to be infinite, human beings have just been able to leave the earth, and they can't even go to Mars.

In other words, at the current level of technology, the real world is finite, as big as the Earth.

However, the world of the Internet is not limited in comparison.

As long as there is a need, you can expand.

Don't look at the current Internet users in the United States, there are tens of millions of people when they are full. Almost half of them are video gamers.

But what about the future?

It is likely that everyone in the world is a member of the Internet.

Even, the virtual world composed of the Internet is not as important as the real world.

Because, the Internet can carry people's spiritual life.

You must know that movies and television are also a carrier of people's spiritual life, and the duration is not long, and the cost is not low.

But it can grow into a huge industry.

And what about the Internet?

Because of the marginal cost, the more developed the cost is, the lower the cost is, and the more likely it is to enter thousands of households.

Even, when technology develops to a certain extent, such as movies and television, it can also be included in the Internet.

People can choose to watch TV series, watch movies on the internet. And the entrance to all this, from the current point of view, is only the browser this option.

If Netscape is not contained, Netscape could become the Microsoft of the new era.

If Netscape is really allowed to ride the wind, then what about Microsoft?

Therefore, Microsoft has to forcibly push its own browser regardless of word of mouth.

It is precisely because of its rich experience in the struggle that Microsoft is more comfortable helping Villefort.

Of course, there is another reason why we are so full of help to Villefort, that is, because Wanhu also makes operating systems and browsers.

Although it's not as persecutive as Netscape, it doesn't have to be solved right away.

However, it is precisely because of Wanhu's slow appearance that Bill Gates feels like a man.

However, on the side of Wanhu Interactive Entertainment, Nick is the only one in charge.

It's not that it's all about it, Nick once asked Takahashi how he should feel about the current crisis and how to deal with it.

Takahashi only said one sentence, and that was "he hit him, I hit mine." ”

In other words, Wanhu's main energy will not be focused on how to scare Villefort, and even counterattacks are handy.

The main focus will be on the players, how to play a good game, how to improve the game experience, is what Wanhu Interactive Entertainment cares about the most.

Because, the main group of video games is still the players, not the competitors.

Even if you rub your competitors on the ground by commercial means, and your own game quality is not good, will there be no second or third competitors?

Once you can participate in the struggle with all your strength, what about two or three times?

There's always a time to fail, doesn't it?

Takahashi told Nick that he had to grasp the main contradiction in doing things.

Is the main contradiction between the two games "Counter Terrorism" and "Counter-Strike" a conflict between the two companies?

No, it's not.

It's a contradiction between the two games and the needs of the players.

There are many advantages of Anti-Terrorist Action, such as faster updates and better network services. But the disadvantage is that we can't connect locally and can't support LAN battles.

Counter-Strike has a lot of things to offer, and one of the drawbacks that we don't have is that their games support both local and LAN play.

So how do we do that?

A lawsuit with Villefort?

No.

We want to make up for our weaknesses.

However, we can't change our current model, because if we do, it will cause a flood of modifications.

So what do we do?

Why don't we start investigating where there are more players playing the game, why don't they like online battles, is the network bad, or is it too expensive?

We can all help to solve these problems.

In other words, when we settle a fight, the solution is not necessarily within the matter, and sometimes we have to jump out.

Why do college students prefer local battles?

It's because they don't have a network, the network is not good, or the network will be disconnected when the time comes.

Can we help them with this?

I think so.

Takahashi's words immediately opened the door to a new world for Nick.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, the content of Takahashi's words is not very profound. But it's hard to think of.

Because, people's vision is often limited by the things in front of them. It is not possible to understand the whole story from a higher level.

If you don't know the whole thing, there are some problems.

What's the problem?

It's just that the struggle will only be fought in such a small grid.

And there is not much space in the small grid in terms of resources or use, so it is difficult to do anything.

Takahashi's approach to solving the problem is to start from the outside and solve the root cause.

Once Takahashi said that all the places where the game is played, the network is good, and there is no need for local connections.

Without the need for local connection, are the advantages of Counter-Strike still an advantage?

If it's not a good thing, why doesn't ...... Anti-Terrorist Operation become the hottest shooter?

Therefore, although Nick was the only one who faced Villefort this time, Nick was confident and undaunted.

Come on, let the storm come harder!
