Chapter 1237: Developing World of Warcraft
Honestly, Paul? Allen's dancing is not good at all, but Kirilenko is watching with relish. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he doesn't look at the dancing posture, but the person who dances, even though it's a man.
After watching the dance, Feng Yu declined the invitation to go to Las Vegas with Kirilenko, he was going to California to see the Blast Game Company under Wind and Rain Games, which had just launched "Warcraft: 3: The Beginning of Chaos".
When it came to the snowstorm, looking at the company's sales report, Feng Yu was very satisfied.
In recent years, Blizzard's game launch speed has also been very fast, and after being controlled by Fengyu Games, it has more adequate funds, recruited more game developers, and the game development speed is getting faster and faster.
Diablo 2 King of Destruction, which was launched last year, easily sold three million units, and due to the wind and rain game push, the Huaxia market was further opened.
Previously, the largest PC game market in Asia was not an island country, but South Korea, and StarCraft alone easily sold millions of units in South Korea, even more than North America. It's no wonder that in the previous life of esports, South Korea was always very strong, and they played with a lot of people.
At that time, Huaxia was limited by the low penetration rate of computers, especially the low family penetration rate, and the other was that the copyright protection was not enough, and most people were pretending to be pirated games, so the games in the previous life were not sold well in Huaxia.
In this life, Feng Yu intensified his crackdown on piracy, took out a lot of money, offered rewards, and reported the production and sale of pirated copies, and could get a good reward. In addition, it is advertised that pirated CDs often contain viruses and Trojans, which endanger computer security.
And these game discs, but also often with Lianxiang computer tie-in, although the price is generally lower than foreign countries, but finally have a profit, and also let people slowly get used to it, buy genuine products.
This piracy and genuine copy, to put it bluntly, is a matter of habit. It's not that many people don't have the money to consume genuine copies, but their concepts can't be changed, others use cheap pirated copies, and I use genuine copies, so isn't it a loss.
When Half-Life was launched, Huaxia's genuine disc sales were good, and the data was definitely much higher than in the previous life. In the past life, Huaxia was known as the nightmare area of game companies.
Looking at the huge market, far more than North America, but every time you sell genuine game discs, it is not as good as one-third of that of the United States, do Chinese people really not play games?
Of course not, but they buy the kind of "cracked version" sold at the gate of the computer city, or on the overpass! In terms of cracking other people's technical protection, Huaxia is a big bull.
At that time, many companies claimed that if anyone's software security protection program could not be cracked by the Chinese market, then they could stand at the peak of the software market, after all, even Microsoft failed to do this.
Feng Yu thought, how can he not be cracked? Simple, that is, after letting those people crack it, there is no profit, and let them know that they will bear a lot of legal responsibility!
When they have a profit of 1,000 percent, then of course they dare to take a risk, and the CD produced for two yuan will be sold out for twenty yuan.
But if at this time, when the cost of their disc rises to five yuan, and the price of the genuine game disc is only thirty yuan, their profits have dropped significantly, and they also know that they have to bear extremely high legal responsibility, they will hesitate.
First of all, they give dividends to those technicians who do cracking, which will not be so high, and the enthusiasm of those people will be seriously reduced. Just ask these technicians, the level of education is not bad, who doesn't know that this is a crime?
Of course, there are still some reckless moves, after all, there is still a profit in this. But after all, there are not so many such people, and some websites that blatantly provide pirated software downloads have also been blocked under Feng Yu's intervention.
It doesn't matter if you're trying to make a profit or not, you can't offer piracy. It's not that you don't have a chance to defend yourself, just delete those downloaded resources and pay the fine.
If you don't pay the fine, then the website will be blocked for a long time. Why do you say that the above is so face-saving to Feng Yu? Money can make ghosts grind.
The vast majority of the equipment of Huaxia's network supervision department was donated by Feng Yu privately. Excluding the expenditure on these equipment, the remaining personnel salary expenditure is not a big burden. More importantly, the leaders of relevant departments are also very satisfied with the establishment of such a department, which is also their political achievements, isn't it?
As a result, the development speed of piracy in Huaxia in recent years has lagged behind that in previous lives, and the leaders have not experienced the era of crazy piracy, but Feng Yu knows that these people are still working effectively.
The popularity of genuine has also given those companies in China that really do software development a soil for survival. In the past, even if they developed good software, they couldn't sell much, and they found that everyone else used it.
Well, now, at least their software can really be sold to make money. The largest software agency sales company in China is Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company, which is also the largest software development company in China.
Not much to say about antivirus software and office software, it is ahead of China, even Asia, and has a certain position in the world. The development of other applications is also very good, and several small software companies have been acquired because they have developed good applications.
Even think about the development method of Yinshan at this time, which is Microsoft's former model, what you can do by yourself is to do it yourself, and if you can't do it yourself, then if someone else makes it, you will buy someone else's company, or merge it over.
To be able to join the big family of Lianxiang Yinshan, those small companies are not happy. What's more, if you are fighting for an unknown future, it is better to focus on the present and get the money first. What's more, if you agree to the merger and acquisition, you can also exchange for some shares that even want to be Yinshan, and this dividend is not low.
Feng Yu is quite satisfied with the development speed of Lianxiang Yinshan, and the only thing that is not very satisfied is the development of the personal PC operating system. At this time, I came up with a first-generation version, Feng Yu tried it, and it was indeed a little better than WinXP, but it was also limited, and there was still a gap with the win7 he had said.
And compatibility, it's not good enough, if it's not compatible, how to swallow up Microsoft's market? Users have inertia, and the fact that the computers of the fruit in the previous life have been selling well has a lot to do with their own software systems.
If it can be compatible with the win system, then after this operating system is listed, it will definitely be able to sell wildly, and then it will be the moment when Lianxiang Silver Mountain really rises.
Qiu Bojun and Lei Dajun both want to release it now and make money a day earlier, so that they can have more sufficient funds to invest in product research and development. Feng Yu refused, telling them that since they had persevered for several years, they were not afraid to persist for two more years.
After this operating system is launched, it must be a blockbuster, and the current product is not amazing enough.
Thinking about Microsoft's shocked appearance at that time, Feng Yu's heart was extremely comfortable. In the future, the leader of the software industry should also sit on our Huaxia company!
"Adhan, what's the next report?"
"It's a new game development plan, and we're calling it World of Warcraft!"
