Ge Minghui connected to the newly installed ISDN with a dial-up connection, then clicked on the "King of Kings" icon on the desktop, entered his account and password, and logged in to the game. He is a novice player, and he has only been in the world of "King of Kings" for about ten days, strictly speaking, "King of Kings" is even the first computer game he played, he used to be a fan of video games, and the reason why he came to "King of Kings" has to start with the online gathering during the National Day.

Ge Minghui remembered that it was the third day of the National Day, and he was also idle and bored at that time, and a friend happened to go to participate in the online gathering of "King of Kings", so he picked him up, and later he learned that this is called "bringing the old with the new". The online gathering was held in a club in the Wangfujing Hotel, Ge Minghui and his friends arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as they entered the hotel lobby, they saw a pair of huge dragon babies at the door as a greeting, chubby and looked quite cute, walked to the door, and saw two guys wearing stupid red robes at the elevator entrance, it is said that these two are wearing what god and demon robes are wearing, it is said that these two are still GM.

Under the leadership of GM wearing the robe of the gods and demons, Ge Minghui and his friends came to the Sunshine Club upstairs to hold a party, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a few beautiful cuties who were either wearing Qing Dynasty costumes or dressed as the heroine of a stand-alone game, and then looked inside to see more beautiful cuties.

Hearing this, Ge Minghui couldn't help but sigh: "Plush toys are really lethal to girls!"

When Ge Minghui and his friends walked into the Sunshine Club, the online gathering had already begun, and several beautiful girls on the stage were singing beautiful songs and dancing, which immediately attracted the attention of the two of them. After listening to the song and watching the dance, Ge Minghui's mind was full of the beautiful figure of the girl, so much so that he forgot what song they sang and danced.

After the beautiful girls sang and danced, a guy dressed like a dog came to the stage to give a speech, but Ge Minghui and his friends were not interested in listening to this person's nonsense, so they simply took advantage of this effort to find a place to sit down. Next, the activities of the network gathering continued, but there were not many people who left a deep impression on Ge Minghui, one was the beautiful woman who came to the stage behind the guy who gave the speech, although the voice was a little hoarse, but the person was beautiful and generous, and the speech was Sven and gentle, which looked very attractive, and I heard that people said that they were still from the treasure island of Taiwan.

Then there is the selection of the top ten players, it is said that only three of them are local to Beijing, and the others come to Beijing from all over the world, such as a person named "Calling Pig Gege" is from Chongqing. What made Ge Minghui happiest was the finale of the lottery, and I don't know if it was Ji Xing Gaozhao or what's wrong, his friend who played "King of Kings" didn't win the prize, he didn't play the game but won the lottery, and it was also a magic weapon in the game, so that he was a little embarrassed when he came on stage, and it was for this reason that he began to play "King of Kings".

After a period of low-handed process of killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, with the help of friends, Ge Minghui gradually became obsessed with "King of Kings", and gradually grew from a low-handed who couldn't find a clear direction to a quasi-master who could show a small face in the war, of course, in most cases he belonged to the category of being chased behind his ass and killed, and occasionally he could get rid of one or two unlucky ghosts when he was lucky.

Today is a big day for Ge Minghui, because his friend is about to build a country, and he plans to let him become a minister, which he hasn't had a chance to experience yet, so he logged in to the game according to the appointment time with his friend, and waited for news from his friend in the city......

One day in mid-October, 12th Floor, Block B, Sigma Apartment, No. 49 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China......

Li Riyuan, general manager of Huacai, looked at the latest report of the "King of Kings" operation report, a slight smile appeared on his face, compared with the terrible results some time ago, the current situation has improved greatly, not only the number of online people has recovered to the level of 10,000 people, the number of new registrations per day has also climbed to nearly 1,000 people, although there are still some gaps with his expectations, but at least it seems to be developing in a good direction.

However, in order to achieve such an effect, the world Huacai still made a lot of blood, just recently during the National Day, under the pretext of celebrating the number of registered users exceeded 100,000, the Sunshine Club on the third floor of the Wangfujing Hotel was chartered, and a large-scale "King of Kings" player network gathering was held. Originally, according to the plan, Li Riyuan planned to hold this online gathering again after a while, which could enhance the relationship between players and attract more loyal players, but the previous dismal results made him have to advance his plan, and the content of the online gathering has also been adjusted to a certain extent.

Li Riyuan still remembers the situation that day, it was on the third day of the National Day, and the network gathering was arranged at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but in order to prepare, the staff of Tianxia Huacai rushed to the venue at 7 o'clock in the morning, and he went at almost 11 o'clock, on the one hand, to check the layout of the venue, and on the other hand, to comfort these hard-working employees. I originally thought that the party would start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and someone would come around 1 o'clock, but I didn't expect that before 12 o'clock, someone was already probing at the door of the club.

In order to maximize the attraction of new players to enter the "King of Kings", this network gathering also arranged the activity of "sending gifts to the old with the new", that is, the old players introduce new players to receive the "King of Kings" game client and the novice card (you can enjoy 1 month of free games), and the new players complete the registration of the account and log in to the game, then the old players can receive a free monthly card, and they can also participate in the lottery, the prizes range from dragon baby dolls to the kings coins in the game, and even the game monthly card, which can be said to be everything.

As a result, more than 10,000 copies of the "King of Kings" game client and novice cards were taken away, of course, most of them were only picked up after the network gathering, and a lot of prizes were also given out, which also brought about the rise of this wave of "King of Kings", but unfortunately because of the free monthly card, "King of Kings" The sales of the game monthly card have been affected a little, but Li Riyuan believes that as long as the number of registrations goes up and the number of online users remains at a high level, after surviving this month, there should be no problem with future profits.

It's just that when he thinks that the main competitor "Legend" performs better, Li Riyuan is very unhappy in his heart, he is also operating an online game, and the data of "Legend" is at least four or five times that of "King of Kings", or even ten times, he believes that as long as "Legend" starts charging, he will definitely make much more money every month than "King of Kings", which makes him very envious. After more than a month of investigation and research, Li Riyuan also learned about some of the operating methods of the operator of "Legend" Fengyun Network, compared with the world's Huacai, Fengyun Network seems to be more generous, they only deployed a few game servers in Beijing, and people have already begun to distribute points across the country, they only see those users who play games at home, and people have already begun to start from Internet cafes, so he can still understand that there is such a big difference in results.

It's just that if Li Riyuan learns the method of Fengyun network, it is not easy, the world's own funds are not much that can be squandered at will, and even Huacai Group is not much better, originally expected to rely on "King of Kings" to make money after rolling investment, before in order to increase the server and network bandwidth has spent an additional sum, if a guy like Xuefengyun Network invests tens of millions of dollars to build server centers everywhere, then Huacai will no longer need to operate any games, because the company has gone bankrupt. I can't learn to build a server center, Li Riyuan thinks that the promotion of Internet cafes can be tried, anyway, there are so many Internet cafes in the country, and it is impossible for Fengyun Network to occupy them all, so how should I be able to find the living space of the world's Huacai.

"Who will be in charge of this?" Li Riyuan touched his chin and thought about this question in distress.

No. 29 Shangdi East Road, Haidian District, in the office of Zhiguan Electronics Beijing Company............

General Manager Feng Hua sat at his desk, slowly rubbing his temples on both sides, it has been a month since the launch of "Three Kingdoms on the Internet". In this month, Feng Huazhu has tasted almost all kinds of sweet, sour, bitter and salty tastes, with the loud signboard of "Three Kingdoms", many players have invested in the world of "Three Kingdoms", and then they have been caught in the net, after all, the charm of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms is still difficult to resist.

Today is the third day that "Network Three Kingdoms" began to charge, and a week ago, the game monthly card of "Network Three Kingdoms" has been rolled out through the channel, and now it is time to test the results. The number of online users of the game has unsurprisingly dropped, reaching 8,000 at its peak, but now only half of it is left. However, this is not too bad news for Feng Huazhu, at least it shows that more than 4,000 monthly cards have been sold, and according to 19 yuan a piece, there are about 40,000 yuan that can be obtained, which is at least enough for him to pay for the game server.

In fact, Feng Huazhu also knows that now is not a good time to start charging, after all, there is a temporary free game "Legend" there, "Network Three Kingdoms" will definitely have many players jump ship over there as soon as they collect money, and it is not to grow up with other people's ambition to destroy their own prestige, he once sneaked into "Legend" to see it, and compared with the rough and boring "Network Three Kingdoms", "Legend" is much more interesting.

But Feng Huazhu didn't want to collect money, he couldn't do it, the things on credit in front of him couldn't be delayed anymore, if he didn't pay, even the game server might be dragged away, so he had no choice but to start charging hard, fortunately, the players didn't run out, so it seems that the situation may be much more optimistic than his previous estimate.

Glancing at the operation report of "Network Three Kingdoms" again, Feng Huazhu comforted himself in his heart: "Maybe the number of people online will rise again in two days......

Room 9072, Jing'an Center, North Third Ring Road East, Chaoyang District, Beijing Huayi United Software Development Co., Ltd. Office Area......

Zhou Chenghu, the general manager, stood by the window, looking at the high-rise buildings outside and the vehicles shuttling on the ground, he couldn't help but have a complicated feeling in his heart, Beijing Huayi United Software Development Co., Ltd. was jointly funded by him and Huayi International for 5 million US dollars, in order to use his connections to open up the online game market in the mainland.

Zhou Chenghu still remembers five months ago when he met Huang Bohong, chairman of Huayi International, when the network company he opened had closed its doors because of another financing failure, he was looking for a new way to make money, it happened that Huang Bohong came to the mainland to inspect the environment and look for partners, one party has a wide range of contacts, and the other party has goods in hand, so the two sides hit it off, and there is now Beijing Huayi United Software Development Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Zhou, you know that there are only 22 million people in Taiwan now, and it is already a great achievement for an online game to achieve 100,000 people online, but there are more than 1.2 billion people on the mainland, and the market potential is very huge in comparison, and online games are different from stand-alone games, so you don't have to worry about piracy, and it is not a one-time transaction......"

At that time, Huang Bohong advocated to Zhou Chenghu in this way, he still understands a little bit when it comes to stand-alone games, because he has a friend who makes D version of the disc in the south, it is said that some masters have also tried to break the newly listed game disc within three days, that is, I have heard of these, so although he is quite interested in the game, he did not dare to touch the stand-alone game at all, but chose the fashionable Internet company last year, in fact, it is to find a few people to get a website, and then go to fool foreigners with money, who wants to wait for his website to get a good job, but foreigners are not so easy to fool, and the company also collapsed。

Zhou Chenghu didn't know much about what an online game was, when he first heard Huang Bohong talk about it, he thought that online games had something to do with websites, and it was immediately like a flash person, and there was no reason to do it again after playing it once, and then he listened to Huang Bohong's explanation, and he figured out that the so-called online games were similar to "Lianzhong Game World" and "Network Genesis".

This next week, Chenghu figured it out, he has played both "Lianzhong Game World" and "Network Genesis", and in order to play better, he also rushed through "Lianzhong Game World" After Huang Bohong's explanation, he knew that the original online game was to set up the game server first, and provide the game client to the player, and then you can collect money through the charging system, just like China Telecom, as long as the player continues to play, he has to continue to pay, but even if he lies on the bed and does nothing, the money is rolling in. At that moment, Zhou Chenghu felt that he had finally found his future career, and what could be better than making money while lying in bed.

Now Beijing Huayi has been established for almost three months, the online game "Stone Age" strongly recommended by Huang Bohong is methodically Chinese simplified, the debugging of the game server has also begun, the server line, the version number required for game operation, etc. He has done seven-seven-eighty-eight, and the mainland online game market has become slowly prosperous as they expected, in addition to "Lianzhong Game World" and "Network Genesis", new "King of Kings", "Legend", New games such as "Three Kingdoms", especially "Legend", are extremely popular, and it is said that the number of registered users has reached 2.3 million, and the number of online users has exceeded 60,000, and the number of users is still increasing rapidly.

Zhou Chenghu is not worried that "Legend" will rob the users of "Stone Age", because the game styles of the two are completely different, "Legend" is a bit similar to "Diablo", "Legend of Black Stone", hot-blooded, passionate, suitable for men to fight together, and "Stone Age" is a Japanese-style Q version of the turn-based game, refreshing and cute, with a wide variety of pets, which is more suitable for female players to experience, according to Huang Bohong, the user groups targeted by the two are completely different.

Although there is no need to worry, but the preparation of "Stone Age" is still very troublesome, before Zhou Chenghu thought that it would be done in a week, who knew that it would really be so troublesome, according to the current progress, at least until December to start the game test. Zhou Chenghu can only call every day to urge and urge, and then watch others be lively every day, and in his mind, he will be obscene lying on the bed counting money and counting until his hands cramp.

"What kind of car should I buy first?" Zhou Chenghu, who had nothing to do, held his chin with his hand, propped himself on the desk and daydreamed......
