Ninety-sixth Website
Lin Yan wanted Chiba Games to make an official website, and even, he wanted to buy a bunch of domain names to store.
It is said that those domain name dealers who have an early vision don't have to do anything one by one, and they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives just by selling domain names.
It's almost like buying a large piece of land here when Shenzhen was still a small fishing village. But it is said that it is really lying down and getting rich.
Chiba Yuki didn't have much reaction to Lin Yan's actions. In fact, she is not too optimistic about the Internet and pays attention to this thing.
If, unlike Lin Yan, people who have experienced what era they have experienced, they don't know the infinite possibilities that the Internet has.
In Chiba Yuki's view, there are so few people with computers, and there are even fewer computers connected to the Internet, so why do you want to build a website, you have to set up a server, you have to design pages, you have to update the content, and you have to find someone to maintain it, which is another expense.
As the saying goes, open source and reduce expenditure, although Chiba Games makes a lot of money now, it can't stand such a "indiscriminate" spending.
However, there is no need to oppose Lin Yan's optimistic things. Chiba Yuki pondered for a while, but still agreed to Lin Yan and let him do the Internet by himself.
In fact, Lin Yan wants to get more than just the official website of Chiba Games and buy a bunch of domain names, he also wants to start some community forums.
And it's a forum without a direct background of Chiba games.,It is intended to provide a platform for communication for these primitive netizens now.。
Actually, in this world, people who build personal forum websites. Can't say less. However, few survived. Even if it can survive. There aren't many people who can keep the website stable all the time.
Because, the community website does not charge for netizens. However, maintaining a website requires a lot of cost. Using the computer at home as a server, the bandwidth is not enough, and it is unstable. How could Lin Yan be so wealthy, he bought a batch of servers from the dark blue giant, and also spent money to pull a special line.
After the Chiba game website was opened, except for a report on "Game Pass", the rest of the media did not react. After all. The Internet is an emerging field, and although universities take it seriously, there are not many media people who think it's really important.
Lin Yan specially organized a team of 20 people to maintain the forum and website.
Once, Lin Yan opened the Japanese website and found that their website was simply unsightly and shabby. He was a little skeptical. Haven't these Japanese always admired beauty and humanity, why is the website of their own country so bad?
Compared to domestic websites in China. It's the difference between heaven and earth. One lives in the new century, and the other lives in the primitive age of the Internet.
Later, he figured it out. Why is this happening.
It turns out that this is what it looks like.
The vast majority of websites in China with a little bit of capital. As well as most of the websites in Europe and the United States, there are a group of people who regularly maintain and upgrade the website interface.
After the first version of the site was finished. These people are here, but they can't be allowed to eat rice idlely. As a result, the web page will be changed again and again, becoming more and more extreme, more humane, and more reasonable.
Most of the website production in Japan is outsourced, and even post-maintenance, most companies outsource.
Moreover, outsourcing is the norm in Japan, and almost 9 out of 9 websites are outsourced. This is a hammer deal, people have finished the first version for you, and after you inspect and receive the goods, it will naturally have nothing to do with them.
Upgrade or not, it's a matter of getting money again. Without going through repeated upgrades, it will naturally not become more extreme. Therefore, it is good to say that locals are used to it, but foreigners will be surprised when they see it.
I don't think Japan is an Internet desert.
After Lin Yan set up the website, he would also open a vest from time to time to irrigate.
However, the Japanese Internet is really bad enough, even in Chiba Games, which has already used a dedicated line, accessing the forum is like a snail pulling a cart.
In view of such a reality, of course, there is no such thing as a picture.
Even the logo of the website is spelled out with characters.
People, in the face of any kind of dilemma, will come up with a solution. It didn't take long for the forum to get more people on the forum, and something like emoji was invented.
It is to use all kinds of symbols in the computer font to spell out expressions. There are smiles, there are angers, there are pitifuls, all sorts, and so on.
And often these emojis are also cute, and they spread like this.
Lin Yan was not idle here, he had already agreed with a research institute to specialize in the study of Japanese input schemes. How to make Japanese fast and good, and how to input with a low repetition rate, became the research topic of that research institute.
After the release of "The Sims", it received good reviews.
Many dead souls have returned to their hometowns and lived a full life in the game, with a group of wives and concubines and many children. After about a hundred hours of gameplay, the players who can't control themselves are the ones who make the whole town their own children.
What, it's no surprise that my daughter is my granddaughter, and it's a lot of fun.
This is another flashpoint of video games, after the popularity of this game, there are some people who have doubts about this ethical issue.
However, these are all small things, and they can be settled with money.
The PC was released simultaneously with the Super Red and White Machine platform, and the sales volume easily exceeded one million in the first week, reaching more than two million. And in the second week, there was no obvious decline.
There are even forecasting agencies that predict that the sales of this game can exceed 10 million.
Of course this is impossible, and everyone in the Chiba game knows that it is impossible. You know, The Sims is definitely not a game that is particularly popular and suitable for all ages.
If there are really children who play this game, do it like in the game, and force their younger brothers and sisters to do that, it will be a big deal.
Because of the audience, coupled with the quality of this game, Lin Yan's predicted sales should be around five million.
This is Lin Yan, that is, Chiba Games, who changed companies. Five million sales can make this game the face of their company.
However, for Chiba games, it is not uncommon to be absent. Not to mention anything else, there have been more than a dozen games over the years.
The sales volume of the Mario series is even about to exceed 100 million.
In this case, a game with five million sales is just good. (To be continued.) )
