I remember that when Tencent QQ dominated the world in the future, it was not a new wave, a wave of UC, or Microsoft's MSN, or a mobile Feixin, as well as Shenma E Talk. All kinds of instant messaging have appeared, but in the end, it still can't beat Tencent QQ.

Later, with the development of online games, more and more people finally understood that no matter how hard they tried in instant messaging, it would be difficult to shake Tencent's position. So, they started developing a group voice chat tool.

Therefore, in the game market, many group chat software was born accordingly. Like what ts, tk, etc. It's a pity that most of what they do is not very good. Because, with such a voice group chat software, you can do it, and he can do it. That said, group chat software technology is low. The group chat software launched in the market is a foundation to support his upward development.

Software without a foundation, even if it can fly, but when it encounters wind and waves, it will be destroyed by others.

At this time, YY was born.

This group chat software launched by the game portal multi-play, because of its powerful functions, is convenient, and it is supported by the game portal website for more play. Many guild members and gamers have chosen to enter YY. Finally, YY fought her way out of the countless group chat software in the market.

Until later generations, basically as long as you play online games, you will know YY. It can be said that although YY did not defeat Tencent in the instant messaging market, it has achieved absolute hegemony in voice group chat.

Don't underestimate YY, although it seems like YY is just a small piece of software. However, the number of online gamers in China has reached as many as 60 million, and this does not include those who play some other games. Moreover, it's not just gamers who use YY. In fact, many groups, or enterprises, have chosen YY. It is the fan group of some great god book friends in later generations who are also stationed in YY.

This time, what Chen Jiayi said about being worth TT in Battle.net is not worth TT instant messaging software, but what is worth being TT group chat. Because of group chats, he also supports instant messaging. Of course, the functions and the upper part of the page, TT needs to be changed. None of this is a problem, though. With just one command, a TT group chat software can be developed in a week at most.

Moreover, players can use a TT group chat account as long as they apply to become a Battle.net user. And this account can also be logged in to the TT instant messaging software.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi said to them, "A battle.net can have a lot of functions, and it doesn't just provide players with competition. Of course, the main function of Battle.net is competitive battles. However, when we are playing, we can also add some add-ons to it. Just like our Counter-Strike, in addition to selling games, we can also use games to sell some peripheral products. Until the end, when players get used to using our TT group chat products, then our TT instant messaging may also be able to stand in the world market. With this opportunity, you can compete with international instant messaging software such as ICQ and MSN. ”

Battle.net +TT.

At the beginning, Battle.net supported TT, but later, as the number of TT group chat users increased, in turn, Battle.net would be supported. If this cycle continues, the TT+ Battle.net model will surely form an unbreakable pattern. Investors who have no future, whether they enter the group chat market or enter the competitive battle market, will have a hard time because of the existence of the Tang Dynasty network.

A new combination mode was completed in a flash of inspiration from Chen Jiayi.

"I see."

When everyone heard Chen Jiayi's explanation, they suddenly realized.

"It's just that we are still worried about Battle.net's profit model."

Although Chen Jiayi has already thrown out the Battle.net platform model, for this time, WCG, this Battle.net platform, has to set up a large number of servers around the world. Calculated together, such an expense is still a bit larger. Of course, servers and the like are all one-time investments. In the future, the investment will be much less. However, this time there are too many investments, so Liu Sichen is not worried.

If such an investment continues, if something happens, it will be extremely unfavorable to the development of the network in the Tang Dynasty.

"I have thought about this clearly, and with the current financial situation of the company, I have calculated this investment, and there will be no major problems. After all, Counter-Strike is selling well all over the world, and it has made a lot of money for Tang Dynasty Network. What's more, our ethereal journey OL, at the end of September, will also be open beta, and the point card will also have a good income at that time...... In addition to that, in September, I will go to ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Jiayi did not continue, "In short, everyone should believe that the Internet is the most prone to miracles, and we have just seized this opportunity." ”

As for why, there are so many Internet users.

Having such a large number of people is a valuable resource in itself.

In the future, the truth that users are equal to money must be understood by countless enterprises. It's just that now, not many people will understand. Even Blizzard, it seems, has only just recognized, but it is not very deep. Otherwise, he wouldn't have caught only those who love Blizzard games. And for passers-by, and even players who play soy sauce, Blizzard has given up.

However, Chen Jiayi, who knows the future development, is clear. It is precisely these soy sauce players who have created incomparably huge profits for some enterprises again and again.

It's just that Chen Jiayi didn't say clearly that users are for money, let them understand this for the time being.

…… Second, Tang Dynasty Network sent a group of key members to Europe and the United States to discuss cooperation with many game companies. As for the Tang Dynasty Network, which can spend money to build a battle network and invisibly promote games for them, many game companies are naturally very happy. Originally, they wanted to get it themselves. It's just that this thing costs too much. In addition, my own company is not like Blizzard, which has a whole bunch of games. The products they have developed are also very simple. Later, the plan was gradually canceled.

Now that the Tang Dynasty network has been sent to the door, how can I not be happy in my heart. As soon as the Tang Dynasty Network spoke, it had already agreed. and made a decision to the Tang Dynasty Network, saying that he must strictly abide by the contract and will not disclose half of the news.

However, Tang Dynasty Network has entered major game companies in such a big way. Some department heads, there are also some surprises. However, after the Tang Dynasty Network threw out the WCG plan, these supervisors dispelled all doubts. They believe that the Tang Dynasty network is only for the purpose of holding WCG competitions, which opened the battle network. Although they don't understand why it seems worthless to spend tens of millions just for a competition. But, all of a sudden, they understood. Legend has it that the Chinese are very face-saving, and for this WCG, which seems to have a long face for them, I am afraid that it will cost tens of millions more, and they are willing.

Thinking of this, even if there was any surprise, it would come to naught at this time.

However, it is not without its worries.

For example, Blizzard, this game company.

Regarding the fact that Tang Dynasty Network is going to start a war network, Mike, the president of Blizzard Entertainment, is a little worried. Although on the bright side, Mike still gave a warm welcome. But secretly he kept frowning.

Because Blizzard had already opened the Battle.net platform, he knew too well what kind of profits Battle.net could bring them. If Tang Dynasty Network decided to develop the Battle.net platform just for this WCG, it doesn't matter. If Tang Dynasty Network just wants to enter the ranks of Battle.com, then it has to be worried.

"Allen, what do you think of this action of the Tang Dynasty Network?"

Seriously, Mike can't figure out what the Tang Dynasty Network is going to do right now. In this way, on the one hand, Mike first agreed to the cooperation of the Tang Dynasty network, and on the other hand, he was also thinking of a way. This time, he found his old buddy, Alan.

Speaking of which, Alan and Mike are both founders of Blizzard. However, Alan is more interested in technology research and development. For this reason, he specially gave up the position of president to Mike. Let Mike continue to lead Blizzard, and he's been leading R&D. I have to say that Alan can indeed be called a technology maniac.

Such madmen, in China, I really can't find a few. Because, men are keen on power.

"Hey, man, don't bother changing the program, you can tell me about it."

When Mike didn't have an idea, he mostly came to refer to Allen's opinion. Although Alan is a technology fan, he is no worse than Mike in the general direction of the game as a whole. Moreover, Alan has always studied technology. It can be said that he is on the outside, and now he is asked to analyze, and he can be seen from the perspective of a bystander.

"Tang Dynasty Network was able to enter the world market with a counter-strike. Presumably, the Tang Dynasty network must have something special. As for this battle platform, it must also have deep meaning. I don't think it's as simple as promoting the game. ”

"I think so too."

McDo walked a few steps, then turned back and asked Allen, "In that case, how should we Blizzard deal with it?" ”

"It's simple."

Alan laughed, as if he had an idea.

"Tell me."

Mike rejoiced to hear that Eren seemed to have a way to deal with it.

"Then let go of our Battle.net platform and plug in other games."

Speaking of which, this is a simple measure. As long as Blizzard is willing, it can be done in three days.

"No, no, this won't work."

Mike shook his head.

Now Blizzard's battle network has brought Blizzard a very large borrowing profit. Mike said that he wouldn't open Battle.net.

"If not, I can't help it."

Alan stretched out his hand, indicating that there was no other measure. Moreover, he is only engaged in research and development, and the plan he just said is just an instinctive reaction. After thinking about it carefully, I found that this plan was not easy to implement. I had to put this problem aside, and I still developed the game myself, and let all those plans and actions be left to Mike.
