Chapter 265: Valve Arrives
There are many chat software in China, and several large web portals have pushed: | For example, Google's "googletalk", TOM's "TOM-Skype", and of course, the most famous "TS voice platform", are designed for teamwork.
If you choose to acquire a real-time voice software for secondary independent development, it will undoubtedly be more proactive, and at the same time, you can take advantage of the popularity of the game to enter the instant chat communication market. Tencent's successful precedent is there, and no one is not jealous. However, in this way, it will definitely cause a strong counterattack from Tencent, and the side of the couch will not allow others to snore. At that time, it will be another bloody battle, for Tencent, chat software is its fundamental interest, who moves its piece of the cake, will definitely hit the opponent at all costs. This is definitely the "second shijie", and it is also what Lin Feng is unwilling to face.
If you choose to cooperate with Tencent, it is undoubtedly a win-win situation. The "second realm" can save software development costs, as well as additional servers and corresponding network bandwidth costs, just enjoy the results. As for Tencent, on the basis of text chat, it has developed an instant voice chat function, which can establish the absolute hegemony of the domestic chat software industry, and perhaps it can go abroad and compete with ICOs by virtue of the east wind of "Counter-Strike Online" Asian Internet. What the "Second Realm" loses is the loss of an opportunity to enter the world of chat software.
Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and then decided to cooperate with Tencent. The fiasco of Pepsi that year, Lin Fengke firmly (in his heart, he has enough "enemies" now, and there is really no need to provoke Tencent, the absolute hegemon of the domestic chat software industry, not to mention that he owns 1 share of Tencent, and he is also the third largest shareholder of Tencent after Milard International Holding Group and Ma Huateng. There is no need for Lin Feng to ruin the good cooperative relationship between himself and Ma Huateng for a chat software with little prospects.
Wu Zhao nodded, although he felt a slight regret in his heart, he was more in agreement. After all, although the "second world" is thriving, compared with foreign companies that have been established for more than ten years, the "second world" is still very fragile, and now it is not qualified to set foot in other industries. Lin Feng's decision was just to cut off the little illusion in Wu Zhao's heart, which could ensure that the "second shijie" was down-to-earth and developed steadily.
After discussing the details with Wu Zhao, Lin Feng dialed Ma Huateng's phone.
"Haha, national hero, call me so freely today?" Ma Huateng was in a very good mood. After Tencent was listed in Hong Kong, its stock went all the way up, and now it has risen from 12 yuan to 18.54 yuan at the issue price, and the company's performance is also booming.
"Hehe, Ma Dong is in a very good mood!" Lin Feng smiled, and after a few words of greeting, he got straight to the point, "Ma Dong, I need an instant voice chat tool, I need a partner, in the chat software industry, I think there is no more haode company in China than Tencent." Lin Feng complimented.
Everyone loves to listen to sycophants, especially when this sycophant comes out of Lin Feng's mouth, it's even different. Lin Feng has just been rated as the youngest richest man in China by the Hurun Report, and his status is not comparable to that of the past. (:〕
Voice chat tool?Lin Feng's words made Ma Huateng's eyes light up.
"Lin Dong, I think we should meet and talk in detail, which will be extremely beneficial to both of us. Ma Huateng is keenly aware of the business opportunities here. Tencent can take advantage of the "Counter-Strike Onlnie" Asian Internet to break into the market of other Asian countries, and the instant voice chat tool is not troublesome for Tencent, they have enough jishu and professional talent support, not to mention that Tencent is also preparing to develop this market.
"Well, but I'm really busy during this time, Lin Feng is embarrassed to say. I really didn't have time to fly to Shenzhou during this time, so I could only hope that Ma Huateng would come to Shanghai. However, how to say that Ma Huateng is also the chairman of a listed company now, and in China, Lin Feng is not easy to say that he should let Ma Huateng fly to Shanghai to see him, otherwise he will fall into an arrogant and arrogant pretext with no one in his eyes. (:〕
"Haha, it's okay, I'll just fly to Shanghai. Ma Huateng haha smiled. As long as you can make money, you will lose face if you save face, not to mention Confucius said: Those who reach are the first. In the business world, although he debuted earlier than Lin Feng, he was not as successful as Lin Feng, and he needed to learn from Lin Feng.
"That's a lot of offense, I don't know when Ma Dong will be able to come to Shanghai?" Lin Feng asked.
"I'll be in Shanghai tomorrow. Okay, Lin Dong, I still have something to do, so I won't say more, we will meet tomorrow and talk in detail. Ma Huateng said and hung up the phone.
Lin Feng nodded, solved the player's communication question, for "Counter-Strike Online", it solved the problem of players being separated from each other and lacking instant communication, which is definitely a good thing for players
You'll have more options and won't worry about losing a game because of a lack of money
Lin Feng looked at his watch, and the two Jishu members of Valve Company were almost in Shanghai, so Lin Feng asked the company's public relations department to pick up the plane. (〕
Unexpectedly, when Lin Feng saw the VALVE company's Jishu personnel resisting the company, he was stunned. It was not only the two jishu members who had previously contacted us, but also Gable Newell, the CEO of valve, and MinhLe, the father of "CS".
"Gable, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you who came, if I knew you were here too, I would have picked you up in person. Lin Feng hurriedly got up and said with an apologetic face.
"Haha, it's okay, Lin, we're here uninvited too. Gable warmly shook hands with Lin Feng, Daxiao said.
"Why don't you rest today, and we'll talk about the changes to Counter-Strike Online tomorrow. Lin Feng saw that Gable and the others looked haggard, and proposed.
"It's okay, let's start now, and I have something very important to talk to you about this time. Gable said solemnly.
Lin Feng's heart froze, nodded, and invited a group of people into the conference room.
"Lin, about your modification to Counter-Strike On~Line, Jihua we have talked about it in detail, and it is a big question. "Gable sat down and got straight to the point.
Lin Feng frowned, but did not speak, waiting for Gable to follow.
Gable didn't say much, instead looked at Minh-Le.
"Lin, "Counter-Strike Online" was originally designed with reference to the stand-alone version of "Counter-Terrorism ~.English", so the original design theory was also modeled on local area interconnection, only networking, adding some new elements, but it is still a map that can accommodate up to 32 people, and now I want to modify each map to accommodate more players, I am afraid that the structure of the game will be fundamentally damaged. And there's another question.,The 3D engine of our game is the "Ouake" engine of the purchased 'iddsoftware',At the beginning, I didn't pursue too much of the gorgeousness on the picture.,If the number of players on a picture increases,There are also certain questions on jishu.,And there's another point.,The current computer hardware configuration can't support more players in a picture game at the same time.,Even if we can develop it.,I'm afraid most players' computers can't withstand the configuration requirements required for the game.。 Minh-Le said helplessly.
You know, the fun of online games lies in the simultaneous play of multiplayer, and if the number of people in the game is too small, there is no difference between it and the local area network, which is not suitable for the development of online games. Lin Feng said.
"Sorry, at most people, no more. If you want to increase, I'm afraid this revision will be drastic, and it will be completed in a few days. There are too many parameters and various game data involved in this, and it can affect the whole body at one moment. I recommend that this aspect not be modified. Minh-LLe shook her head and said helplessly.
Lin Feng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"I'm sorry, we didn't think about that in the first place. "Gable came out to play the round, and it was true that they were a little vague about the concept of online games at the beginning, which caused the current situation. Moreover, he did not expect that Lin Feng would come up with a cross-century plan for "Asian interconnection".
"However, other aspects can indeed be modified, and I suggest that they should not be changed for the time being. MinhLe suggested.
"Not modified?" Lin Feng felt that although he was playing "Counter-Strike Online" now, he thought that it was not much different from LAN, and it was far inferior to the classic "Interstellar Online" that Lin Feng had played before his rebirth. The battlefield that is enough to accommodate thousands of people, planes, tanks, motorcycles, and all the weapons of war imaginable can appear in the game, which almost makes the blood of people who no one plays.
Of course, at that time, there was an unavoidable problem of "Interstellar Online" that was relatively harsh on the computer configuration, and many players' computers could not run "Interstellar on~.e" smoothly at all.
"Yes, because this game was a bit of a concept error when we first set it up, the concept was wrong, no matter how you modified it, it didn't meet your requirements. Minh-Le sighed. The feeling of self-denial is not good, but he has to admit that the original design concept of himself and others has indeed deviated. After all, online games are online games, and they are too different from stand-alone games.
Lin Feng frowned, if he didn't modify it, the current situation was not impossible, and it was obviously impossible to reach the height required by Lin Feng.
"Hehe, Lin, don't be sad, because we have brought a new game development jihua, this jihua will definitely satisfy you, which is why weishenme and Minh are here together. Seeing Lin Feng's sad face, Gable smiled.
Gable's words lifted Lin Feng's spirits. (Read!)
