Chapter 36 Formed
In 1992, the Internet industry developed quite rapidly. This is largely due to the fact that materials are evolving.
In particular, the improvement of semiconductor integration has increased the network speed, and basically the average household can reach a speed of one-tenth of a megabyte.
Of course, this refers to some developed countries, and developing countries are still a long way from this standard.
Because of the popularization of the Internet and the popularity of personal computers, personal computer online battle games have also been developed in the long run.
The confrontation between people is originally a matter of seeing and dismantling tricks. The overall level has a great impact on the individual level.
A person has been playing with a group of rookies, even if he can beat all these rookies obediently, he is only a relatively strong chicken.
Because, the person who fights against him is too weak, so his strength has reached that level, and he will not improve again.
Except, of course, this kind of networkable game, which is essentially a single-player game. Another new mode of gaming has emerged, which is online games.
The entire game requires an internet connection to play, and there is no part that can be played locally. This kind of game, compared with the stand-alone game, the pure game fun is a certain decline, but there are many people who play it, because it is very social, many people play this game, in fact, this kind of game, as a large chat room.
Playing games is less about playing games and more about chatting with other people in the game.
Even, because of online games, it is not very rare for people to become husband and wife. People on the Internet in this era. Due to the cost of Internet access, they are basically people with relatively high economic conditions and education levels. Basically, the Internet is regarded as an extension of reality, although there are unreliable people. But compared to later, it is still a lot less.
The only problem is how online games can be profitable. In the beginning, online games, like traditional games, made money by selling game discs.
The reason why we don't directly provide network downloads is because the current network speed is too slow. Of course, if you really want to go down, you can finish it. You still need an activation code after the next step.
The only difference from traditional games is that the activation code needs to be tied to an account, not to a machine.
What Lin Yan has done recently. It is to simply refine the social part of these online games to form a situation of chat software.
For a variety of reasons, carriers in Japan vary widely. SMS charges are very inconsistent. Cross-company SMS charges can make people want to cry.
So. Over the years, mobile phone mailboxes have become a tool to replace mobile phone text messages, and have gradually become a common thing for the majority of Japanese people.
What Lin Yan wants to do is not this kind of chat tool, but a software that can chat in real time like in online games.
Live chat and SMS email, while they don't seem to be very different, have a very attractive magic.
Plus this software, compared to those complicated game programs. It's not that hard for programmers.
Lin Yan has a more accurate picture in his heart, and he doesn't always need to modify it. So, the whole program also has a full version soon.
Because, because of the performance of the machine now, in fact, the personal computer software at this moment cannot have a very good interface.
Of course, a machine with a graphics card is another story. However, personal computer software should focus on the bottom line rather than the ceiling, so it is necessary to accommodate those who are not very good at computers, and it is necessary to make the software look less sophisticated.
In fact, although the operating system is not a major profit item of Chiba Games, the operating system of Chiba Games still has a high number of holdings in Japan.
In addition, because of the expansion of Chiba games around the world, there is also a certain degree of transmission abroad. After all, as the upstream and downstream of Chiba games, and Chiba games use a unified system by the advantage.
Because of the factor of interest exchange, the system software of Chiba Games is actually compatible with the micro-hardware system. The operating systems of the two can basically be said to be different in appearance.
Lin Yan is now testing this software, the instant chat software, although it is not difficult to write, but there is also its difficult part, that is, the preservation of data.
How to keep the data on a person's account from disappearing is an important question. Lin Yan's solution is like this, a chat account, if you have friends, you can always exist, because this friend account will prompt the existence of this account.
And those accounts that do not have friends, after a period of time, say a month, will be withdrawn and reissued.
The issuance of accounts is not something that users can register at will, but has a sequential numbering. Start with five digits and work your way up to the back.
Of course, in view of Lin Yan's heart, he has a certain vision for this software. He kept a large part of those accounts with connected numbers, accounts with beautiful metaphors, and sold them through the situation of beautiful numbers in the future.
Lin Yan doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, if a product can't feed itself, there is no need to exist. And like this software, it is free to use. In the entire history of computer software, it is almost the first. It must have a means of monetization.
And the pretty number is one of these means. The pretty number will not be sold completely, but will be rented out for users to use.
This "rental" is different from others, that is, it has a beautiful icon and a red name displayed.
After the user base reaches a certain level, a special membership service can be launched. Those ordinary users only have the most basic functions, while member users will have different privileges such as roaming chat history, red name, and so on.
This will allow the software to evolve and continue, and there will be a variety of specialized services. For example, the green diamond privilege for listening to music and the blue diamond privilege for playing games.
The cost of each one is not too high, and it will not be like a game software. A one-time painful charge, but in the long run, the charge is only a lot more.
In fact. This model is called a small continuous payment.
This model has its superiority, that is, at the beginning, it will not make people feel pain, boiled frogs in warm water, and a lot of money has been spent before they come back to their senses.
In fact, Lin Yan wanted to do the next step. It is to promote this model to online games.
One of the benefits of Chiba Games as a company with young people as leaders is that it is not conservative. Some lean towards radicalism.
So, there are a lot of various attempts. There are both successes and failures, and there are many failures, but even if they fail. These are very valuable resources.
Because. Failure can sum up a lot of experience, so that Chiba game people know why they failed and know the next success.
In fact, Chiba Games has recently lost a lot of money on non-gaming businesses.
It was real estate investment in China, in a place called Hai-Nan, the southernmost part of China. However, this failure did not stop Chiba Games from handling the real estate business in China.
Instead, it is concentrated in places like Shanghai-Hai and Bei-Beijing. Through slightly less normal channels. Entered such a market and bought land on a large scale. Either hoard, or build into a building.
The local leaders, even if they know something, will not refuse these huge investments for them.
And the people of Chiba Game Real Estate Company are not as vexatious as some other foreign businessmen, of course, there will still be conflicts of interest. But it is more harmonious.
Some of the companies managed by Chiba Game Real Estate are not actually under their umbrella and look like they are completely Chinese companies.
There are multiple considerations for doing so. On the one hand, the heads of these companies may have a relationship with some of the people in charge, which can be regarded as sugar-coated shells, which can make Chiba Game Real Estate and local people become a community of interests.
The other is to avoid some unnecessary risks.
And because of the collapse on the Japanese side, in fact, Chiba Games Real Estate has a very mature team. These teams are very loyal to Chiba Game Real Estate.
The reason why this is the case is because these people are basically pulled back from the rooftop by Chiba Games.
The place where they work is actually quite similar to Japan a few decades ago. So, with some minor modifications to the previous model, it can be applied in this new place.
Their hard work, as well as their professional ability, make Chiba Game Real Estate very good among other foreign counterparts.
Of course, there is still a certain gap with the commercial giants in the United States who have played once in Japan and come here to play.
After all, those places are with the highest salaries, and the top talents are invited, and many of the people's operating methods are not only efficient, but also the imagination in them, which also makes the people of Chiba Games stunned.
Of course, the reason why it involves the real estate business is because Chiba Games has too much cash. Staying in a bank feels like a waste after all.
Lending money to others and setting up a financial institution on your own lacks a large number of professionals and the corresponding space.
You must know that although the Chiba Group is mainly a large-scale retail, the core is still the financial industry. The entire Chiba Group was developed with Chiba Bank as the center.
Although it is not the first in Japan, it is not even the top five, and it is not a particularly large group, but its own influence does not need to be underestimated.
The Chiba Group owns almost 5 percent of Japan's assets and 1 percent of its employees.
It can be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, it is also a very behemoth.
Of course, recently, Chiba Games, a company independent of the Chiba Group, has become an outlier in the Chiba Group. This company, to a large extent, is also a testament to the ability of Yuki Chiba.
For this young lady of the Chiba Group, the voice of approval of her inheritance of the Chiba Group is getting louder and louder.
However, the old man Chiba has still been very strong over the years, so some people are still in full swing. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and some things are impossible to find out clearly, so they are left to their own devices. It would be nice not to let him expand.
In fact, the operation of these real estate can be regarded as part of finance. That's not a good thing for the people in that place.
Of course, it's not a good thing, it's a long-term thing.
In the near term, this is a good thing. Beautiful environment, reliable quality building. In addition, the initial price was not very expensive, so many people who lived in it had a sense of luck.
In the future, they will feel that their fate is more fortunate, because the place where they live can even be multiplied by more than ten times or dozens of times.
You know, many things don't have such an increase in efficiency.
Of course, as Lin Yan, who has been cheated by high prices, he actually doesn't agree with this method. It's essentially shearing the little sheep's hair.
Those little sheep who follow the wind, although they seem to have made a lot of money, are basically gnawing pigs' trotters with pigs and gnawing on themselves, which is a state.
Chiba Game Real Estate, about their newly selected cities, is very optimistic. They basically decided to hold the land in these places for about 20 years, and then sell it off.
This is not an estimate of a single real estate industry, but an estimate of the development potential of the entire large region, which almost twenty years later reached the level of the late 80s in Japan.
A little bit further there is a big collapse, and if you go slowly, you can go in circles. And leaving early, although it is safe, but it will lose a lot of profits.
These professionals who come down from the rooftop, so to speak, don't grow wise, and they still like this mode of dancing on the tip of a needle.
I don't know if they have too big a heart, or if they don't have a heart at all.
In fact, Chiba games have a great influence in many countries. This is because Chiba Games is engaged in the business of the cultural industry.
The same is true for Chiba Games Global Entertainment, in fact, over the past few years, as the team has matured, and a variety of programs have been introduced.
Chiba Games Global Entertainment has been able to become completely self-sufficient. Of course, they still don't have autonomous financial rights.
Because, the financial power is still liberalized, and Chiba Games Global Entertainment is likely to stand on its own. This is not a small probability event.
In fact, the Chiba Group, which is centered on banks, can vaguely understand something.
In the new year's selection, Chiba Games ranked in the top 50 of the world's top 500 companies, and its influence in the entertainment industry ranked third.
There are only two Hollywood studios ahead of Chiba Games, but it seems that as time goes on, it seems that it is not a problem to surpass them.
The Chiba gaming empire seems to have been formed. (To be continued.) )
