"Penguin product director told reporters: 'Penguin 2010 concept' is the second upgrade of instant messaging software, and the majority of users will get a new chat experience on the new software."
"Panda may have defined the 'second generation of instant messaging software', but I think it will be Penguin who will really create the 'second generation of instant messaging'! (The original sentence comes from Zhang Fan's speech at the Panda Conference: Bill Gates may have coined the term 'tablet', but I think it was we Chinese people who created and really defined the tablet.) )”
In addition, the person in charge also revealed: "League of Legends", which is concerned by the game industry and players, will also appear at the conference, and the game will be the main product of Penguin 2010 and closely related to Penguin Chat.
"League of Legends is a DOTA-based real-time strategy game developed by Riot in the United States. After going public in the U.S. in 2009, it achieved millions of results in just three months......"
……
Early morning on the 6th, Beishan Villa No. 15, backyard.
"It turns out that the 'League of Legends' occasionally mentioned on the radio is a penguin agent...... I remember that it seems to be mentioned in it: in 14 years, the registered users of this game reached 60 million. ”
Come to think of it. Zhang Fan's mind suddenly flashed to another popular game mentioned in the future broadcast - "Minecraft".
Thinking. See him quickly type in the Baidu search bar 'Minecraft' keyword. Subsequently, in the 'search results', a game forum news attracted Zhang Fan's attention.
Post title: "The American sandbox game 'Minecraft' is open for pre-order, and the classic version is available for early access." 》

……
"The picture is very average. It is very close to the style of "Contra" and "Super Mario" in the past, that is, it is a 3D version......"
"What are you looking at?"
Just thinking about it, he saw Zhou Yang coming over eating scallion pancakes, looked down and said, "My world...... The boss is also starting to pay attention to the game? The quality of this 'sandbox game' doesn't look very good. ”
Zhang Fan looked up and smiled: "I just saw the news of the 'Penguin Carnival', and I suddenly had a whim, so I took a look at it casually." What do you mean by 'sandbox games'? ”
"It's this kind of high-freedom game." Zhou Yang pulled out a chair and sat down and said: "The sandbox game is characterized by 'allowing players to build and change the game world, without forcing the main line'. The most classic is "The Elder Scrolls", and if you want to play, you can come to my house to feel it. ”
"By the way, what does the Penguin Fiesta say?"
"It's mainly about releasing some games, but I think they might not be drunk." Saying that, Zhang Fan told Zhou Yang about the 'Penguin Chat Concept News' he just saw. The two talked and came to the living room.
……
After breakfast, Xuejun returned to school, and Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang drove to the company.
It's 9 a.m. today. The company will officially hold cooperation negotiations in Kazakhstan Telecom, and Feng Hong and other executives will attend the meeting on behalf of Dabai.
After the cooperation is confirmed, Spark will send a team to Kazakhstan to hold a local press conference with the other party. Secondly, it will also take the opportunity to conduct business investigations on local Internet and other markets.
At 8 o'clock, the two came downstairs to the Yasheng Building.
Zhou Yang suddenly remembered something, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Boss, the penguins have attacked us several times. This time he held a 'carnival' in the magic capital, should we do something too? ”
"Another thing, the "Happy Island" project has almost been reviewed, and Xiaotian has also begun to design the island map. I think we can start designing our 'Spark Game Engine', integrate the 'Five Minutes' game, and then make the "Super Marines" mobile game and the Big White BOX version. ”
"In the future, 'Spark Games' will expand the game copyright for the best-selling works on Sparrow micro-comics and novels." Spark Animation's extended anime rights and physical book rights for them. 'Spark Cinema' and 'Sparrow Video' as animation output channels......"
"By the way, counting Yutang's 'Spark Pictures', we have a complete set of copyright production, incubation, and sales industry chain."
"When the time comes, it will definitely be a virtuous circle, which is not only in line with our Spark route and interests, but also a good thing for fans and authors."
Ding, the elevator doors open.
Zhang Fan patted Zhou Yang and said with a smile: "It seems that I should really give up the position to you, I don't remember a word of what you just said." ”
"Hahaha......" The two laughed in unison.
Now that Xinghuo has passed the most difficult stage of entrepreneurship, everything seems to them to be handy, which is a good start.
……
"Boss, Mr. Zhang......"
Spark Chairman's Office.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Feng Hong and the others greeted one after another, Zhang Fan looked at the big white delegation in business clothes and said, "How are you prepared?" ”
"It's all ready, but I'm a little nervous."
Feng Hong smiled: "This is the first time we have been in contact with an international company...... Just now, I discussed with Kong Fei that we planned to send them a souvenir after the cooperation was reached. ”
"It's okay, just a few more contacts." Zhang Fan took the water cup handed by Gao Ting and sat down and said, "What gift do you plan to give them?" ”
"Isn't this a good discussion?" Gao Tingting said: "If you are willing, I think it is appropriate to give them a painting of yours." When the time comes, I will say that this is the gift of our supreme leading brother to you. Don't hurry up and be 'flattered'! ”
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Fan said with a smile: "I'm willing to paint, but I don't know if they like it or not." It's good for me to give white dolls and souvenirs. Well, it's not early, you guys go early, don't keep the Kazakh VIPs waiting. ”
"Okay boss." With that, Feng Hong left the office with the big white representative.
Zhang Fan recalled Zhou Yanggang's mention of the 'sniper penguin carnival' and some suggestions, and asked Kong Fei to call Qian Yutang and other Spark executives.
Waiting for everyone to arrive, Zhang Fan said: "Have you seen the news about the 'Penguin Carnival' this morning?" ”
"I watched it last night." Gao Ting said: "I also said that I would release the 'Penguin 2010 Concept Edition' on the same day, which is obviously a gimmick to intercept the loss of users." Why are you mentioning this? ”
"Of course, it's a 'courtesy exchange' to create some public opinion news for him." Zhou Yang said with a smile: "The penguins have poured dirty water on us in the past two months, and we should also make something for them, at least not let him play too beautifully." ”
……
Speaking of this, everyone nodded sympathetically, and you discussed the 'sniper strategy' word by word.
Half an hour later, Zhang Fan said: "'Troublemaking' for the penguins is only secondary. If there is no 'handle' of the level of 'penguin voyeurism', the methods we just talked about are just 'tickling' for them, and they will not affect the other party's foundation. Notable is the 'Penguin Concept' product. ”
"Whether it's true or not, we can't take it lightly. Gao Ting, how is the design of your 'Big White BOX'? ”
……
'Dabai BOX' is also 'Dabai Smart Box'.
This product prototype is the metal packaging shell that houses the 'big white robot' in "Super Marines", and its peripheral physical products were developed in August, and it is currently selling well in shopping malls.
Recently, the design department, the product development department, and the hardware department are discussing how to develop this product into a 'smart product'.
After that, everyone thought: integrate the 'Dabai Intelligent Routing' that they thought about before, and form a 'home entertainment integrated host' with the Hummingbird system, and the name is 'Dabai BOX'.
According to the preliminary agreement:
The appearance of the 'BOX' is based on the 'large white metal cube' in "Super Energy".
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION IS INTEL MOBILE PROCESSOR, LARGE MEMORY, SOLID STATE DRIVE, WIRELESS ROUTING, WI-FI HARDWARE. If the R&D progress can keep up, the 'Spark 360 security chip' and 'holographic display chip' will also be added.
The system configuration is tentatively 'Android or Microsoft', in addition to adding the original 'APP mall', 'unlimited point-to-point transmission', 'screen mapping' in the big white system......
In the future, it will also be integrated into the 'Blue Sparrow Voice Assistant', 'Intelligent Routing Management System', 'Home Theater System' and 'Holographic Console Game System' under development.
The 'Blue Needs Assistant' in 'BOX' can be connected to a mobile phone and use a mobile app to complete remote downloads and language command transmission to this host.
The 'Intelligent Routing Management System' will be integrated with Xinghuo Cloud technology to help users maximize the use of home networks and manage networks.
The 'Home Theater System' is a commercial layout of Xinghuo, and will be equipped with 'Xinghuo Cinema' in the future as a third-party screen extension of Xinghuo Cinema.
The final 'Holographic Console Game System' is part of the future 'Hummingbird System', so it will be released together with the 'Hummingbird System'.
The development team defines the system as 'game console + holographic engine technology', which can be used with 'holographic glasses' and 'somatosensory devices' big white phones and tablets in the future.
