Chapter 35: Fengyun Internet Cafe Sets Sail (I)
Not surprisingly, the performance of the Moonlight Goddess II machine impressed the representatives of the game companies present, and gave quite high scores in all aspects of the evaluation score, only the marketing aspect was slightly reserved, after all, even if they are full of confidence in the strength of the Oriental Industrial Group and the VisualSystem Group, but it is the first time to enter the home game console hardware market, and it is difficult to say how much market share it can achieve. Sony's success on the PlayStation console is a hope for the majority of companies trying to enter the home console hardware market, but Sony's increasingly solid success is also an obstacle that cannot be ignored for latecomers, and Nintendo and Sega, which are temporarily lagging behind, believe that they will not sit idly by and watch others break in and get a piece of the pie.
As representatives of Oriental Industrial Group and VisualSystem Group, Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin also reached a verbal agreement that the promotion of Moonlight Goddess II in the Americas and Europe will be responsible for VisualSystem Group, and the promotion of Asia and Oceania will be responsible for Oriental Industrial Group, and the game companies of both sides will join the game development camp of Moonlight Goddess II machine. As for the formal agreement, it will then be followed by the corresponding heads of the two groups.
Before leaving, Yang Xinxin pulled Zhang Lexing aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you have an official name for your game console?" The name of this moonshine goddess is good, but it still doesn't seem to be suitable as a product name. ”
Zhang Lexing smiled embarrassedly, he really hadn't seriously thought about the official name of the game console, now that he thinks about it, whether it is "Moonlight Goddess" or "Dream", it seems that it is a bit unsuitable as an official name, in fact, he originally planned to hold a game console name collection activity after a while, but he didn't expect Yang Xinxin to ask now, he had to say embarrassedly: "What, I haven't thought of it yet, but there is still time, let me think about it slowly, and besides, this matter also needs to be brainstormed, hehe." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll let you go this time, but you have to hurry, you don't want to wait until the console hits the market and even the name is still to be decided." Yang Xinxin explained earnestly.
Zhang Lexing had no choice but to nod his head again and again, and secretly wondered in his heart whether he had to consider bringing the game console name collection activity in advance, so as not to have any accidents and make him in a hurry.
……
At this time, in China, the heated discussion caused by "Game Dream" is still ongoing, spending about 100 yuan, not only can you buy a good game, but also have the opportunity to win awards after clearing customs, and even go on to learn game production, which players have never dared to imagine before, and it is also something that newspapers and magazines have never heard of. As a result, many newspapers and periodicals related to games have devoted a certain amount of space to tracking this matter, and such as "Play and Excellent?! Titles such as have become the most common topics in some newspapers and magazines recently.
At the end of August, Fengyun Interactive's last game in the summer vacation file "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" was launched, which immediately caused many Sword and Fairy fans to rush to buy it, and even some fanatical players queued up all night just to buy a set of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" Collector's Edition, and the newspaper reports about "Game Dream" temporarily gave way to this new hot spot.
Many players who have not purchased "Game Dream" or have successfully cleared the game, most of the players running on their computers at this time are this freshly baked "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition", such as Li Wenbo. Ever since he received a call from Fengyun Interactive and made the decision to study at the Game Academy, he ordered a regular version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition", intending to be a reward for himself.
Li Wenbo is not strictly speaking a fairy sword fan, unlike his old classmate Wu Yufei, who is obsessed with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", not only will he buy every game related to fairy sword, but he even collects a lot of fairy sword peripherals. There was not much publicity about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" before it was released, and the introduction of the game's content was also vague, only slightly mentioning that it was a subversive war game for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and even compared it with "Final Fantasy Strategy" on last year's PS console.
Unpacking the package, Li Wenbo casually stuffed the disc into the optical drive, set the directory for game installation, and then picked up the game manual and read it carefully, so a very unusual fairy sword picture scroll slowly appeared in front of him. The story told in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" is far, far away from the era in which "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" takes place, and it can even be said that it is just a story with the name of Sword and Fairy that is not very related.
“…… In the distant ancient mythological era, since Pangu opened the world and embodied all things, the aura between heaven and earth gradually converged in the extreme west of Middle Earth, condensed in the heart of Pangu Hanging Mountain, the mountain is ten thousand feet high, with a radius of 800 miles, which is the ...... of 'Kunlun'."
“…… A few years later, there are people who cultivate immortals who perceive the strong aura near 'Kunlun', so they settle down at the foot of the mountain, and then there are accidental successes who fly into immortals, so the number of people who come is more and more, and the number of successful people who cultivate immortals gradually increases. Most of the successful people who ascend live on the hanging mountain, and call the mountain 'Shu Mountain', and some people call it the 'fairy world'......"
“…… After a good deed person ascended to immortality, he gave the elixir obtained from Shushan to his friends in the land of Huaiyi, and helped him to successfully ascend, and the remaining elixir was divided by his friends and family, and he also soared, and some people even said that the poultry and livestock in his family also flew into immortals because they licked the remaining elixir in the vessel......"
“…… In a certain year, the 'Ethereal Mountain Incident' occurred in the fairy world, and more than a thousand immortals were lost in the newly born demon world, and most of them gradually degenerated into demon generals, and then it was a centuries-long battle between immortals and demons......"
“…… After hundreds of years of war between immortals and demons, both the fairy world and the demon world were exhausted and could no longer launch large-scale attacks, so the two sides signed a thousand-year covenant to suspend sword warfare...... In order to ensure that the agreement was not easily broken, the two sides used a large space binding spell to close the fairy world and the demon world, and cut off the communication with the human world, but the fairy world still retained seven ascending immortal ropes in the first heaven of Shu Mountain, which were used as the only channel to connect the human world......"
“…… During the Spring and Autumn Period, the aura leaked from the heavy sky of Shu Mountain gradually took shape in the foothills below after years of accumulation, and after being discovered by a new generation of immortal cultivators, it was regarded as the legendary 'Shu Mountain', and it also became the ...... of Shu Mountain in the world later."
“…… In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of immortal cultivators in Shushan was unprecedentedly prosperous, up to several thousand, divided into hundreds of small sects, each with a unique set of immortal cultivation methods. At the same time, some immortal cultivators unexpectedly became demons, and all kinds of mountain birds and beasts on Shu Mountain also turned into monsters, demons and monsters began to gradually appear in front of human beings, and a considerable number of monks in Shu Mountain took it as their responsibility to kill demons and hoe monsters, thinking that this could accumulate virtue and ascend to immortals, so Shu Mountain swordsmen began to be active in folk legends......"
“…… At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the contradictions and disputes of the various sects in Shushan continued, under the advocacy of the "Xianjian School", the monks of Shushan gathered at the top of Shushan to hold a conference, forming an alliance of various sects in Shushan - "Shushan League", and at the same time established a headquarters at the top of Shushan, forming the prototype of the Shushan faction in the future......"
...... story of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" took place in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the disputes between various factions in Shushan were at their peak. Due to years of turmoil, Han Li and Zuo Yuan, who were originally friends, were separated in a military disaster, and by chance came to Shushan one after another, Han Li worshiped the Immortal Sword Sect, and Zuo Zheng joined the Immortal Sword Sect's biggest opponent, the Green Falcon Faction, so a pair of best friends were forced to stand on opposite sides because of the sect dispute, can their friendship continue in the future......"
Li Wenbo closed the game manual in his hand, the background introduction part of the game is not thin at all, and by the time he read it hastily, the installation program on the computer had already ended for a long time. Li Wenbo threw the game manual aside, clicked on the new icon of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Strategic Edition" on the desktop with his mouse, launched the game, and then chose Han Li's process, and soon his first test came. After Han Li joined the Immortal Sword Sect, after half a year of study, he was sent to the Trial Cave behind the mountain, where he had to conduct actual combat training on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to collect five Zhu Ling and five Ambergris plants from the Trial Cave.
Han Li and the other two junior brothers followed the map to the trial cave in the back mountain, and as soon as they stepped into the cave, they noticed that Zhu Ling and ambergris grass were just surrounded by seven or eight red sand spiders unique to the trial cave, and if they wanted to get the medicinal materials, it seemed that a fierce battle would inevitably begin, so the first battle under Li Wenbo's control began......
Also in Beijing, a new signboard was hung downstairs in the Oriental Electronic Game City, with the words "Fengyun Chain Internet Cafe Beijing Flagship Store" written on it. An eye-catching sign stands at the entrance of the building, which reads, "Fengyun Internet Cafe Chain opens today, free trial for three days!" ”
More than a dozen big-shouldered security guards maintained order at the entrance of the building, and many players who came in the name of free lined up, registered with the staff at the entrance in order, received a one-hour free trial card, and then ran down the stairs to the third floor. Some people are a glance at the empty computer, immediately pull the chair and sit down, and don't care about the rumors around to inquire about the situation, while some people first go to the computer that has been played by people to take a look, and wait for the bottom of the heart, this is not in a hurry to find the empty machine, anyway, he knows, no matter who can play for an hour at most, there is no need to worry about not finding a place, rather than wasting time in a hurry, it is better to prepare first.
In a corner of the Internet café hall, Wang Hao, general manager of Fengyun Investment Holdings, Chen Xingchan of the market development department, Yan Tie of the security department, Zheng Tianli, the manager of the flagship store, and Zhao Haiguang gathered together, looking at the busy scene in the Internet café, with happy expressions on their faces.
"Mr. Wang, it seems that this Internet café will definitely be very prosperous in the future." Zhao Haiguang's gaze swept over the crowd of people who were sitting or standing in front of the computer, and turned his head to Wang Hao beside him and said.
"Where, it's still a free promotion period, and it's normal for there to be a lot of people." Wang Hao shook his head and said modestly: "President Zhao, it's still a little early to say that it is booming, and it will take a while to find out." ”
"Mr. Wang is humble, hehe." Zhao Haiguang smiled, glanced at the crowded Internet café hall again, and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, the association still has some things to deal with, so I'll leave first." ”
"Originally, I was going to arrange a working meal at noon, President Zhao, how embarrassed we were when you left, and the boss also specially instructed us to entertain you." Wang Hao hurriedly said.
"It's okay," Zhao Haiguang waved his hand and said, "I'm really in trouble, or another day." ”
"It's okay, then President Zhao, you will be busy first!" Wang Hao made a gesture and said, "You go slowly, I'll send you." ”
"No, no, don't you have anything to do, I'm okay with myself." Zhao Haiguang shook his head with a smile and said.
"I'm sorry about that." Wang Hao sent Zhao Haiguang to the elevator next to the door of the Internet café, and said politely: "President Zhao, then you go slowly!" ”
Zhao Haiguang nodded, walked into the elevator that had just opened, and then waved his hand at Wang Hao, the elevator door slowly closed, and then descended. After sending Zhao Haiguang away, Wang Hao returned to the lobby of the Internet café, and then Zheng Tianli greeted him and said: "Mr. Wang, we just counted a little, 120 computers are full in less than half an hour, of which 112 play games and only 8 are online, which is about the same as our previous estimate, and the bandwidth of the current Internet line is enough to cope." ”
"Well," Wang Hao nodded, and instructed: "Manager Zheng, although the charges have not yet begun, the relevant services must be in place, only from now on to make the word of mouth out, the development of the Internet café will be wider and wider in the future, you must pay attention to this aspect." ”
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I will follow up and promise that there will be no problems." Zheng Tianli agreed.
"Manager Chen, although it is a free trial period these days, the data collected is definitely not the same as usual, but don't ignore the data collection work, only by mastering more comprehensive data, our future management work can be targeted, understand?" Wang Hao turned to Chen Xingchan, who was standing on the other side of him, and ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll pay attention to this matter." Chen Xingchan pursed her lips and nodded solemnly.
Wang Hao came to Yan Tie, who was standing aside with a vigilant face, patted him gently, and ordered: "There must be a lot of players who come during the free trial period, Minister Yan, your security work will definitely be under great pressure, but you must appease those security guards, and remember that we are here to provide services for players, to provide players with a safe and comfortable gaming environment, and no action can violate this purpose." ”
"Yes, Mr. Wang, I understand." Yan Tie, who had a dark face, habitually saluted and agreed.
