"How do you know?"
Guang Yongyuan's rhetorical question directly proves that what Lin Hong said is true.
But these things can be said to be extremely confidential, Guang Yongyuan originally thought that no one in the country should know about this situation except himself, but he didn't think that Lin Hong said it casually, as if it was a trivial matter.
Lin Hong smiled and just said, "I'm just guessing." ”
After that, he didn't say any more.
Of course he couldn't tell Guang Yongyuan that he had secretly tracked this person on the Internet for a long time out of curiosity?
When Lin Hong found this person, it was also by chance, he happened to collect a very good code in the information, which was very skillful, Lin Hong was curious after seeing it, so he tracked it down and investigated.
Eventually, this person was discovered.
According to the information he gathered, this person was extremely talented, and he was young, similar to him, Lin Hong originally had the heart to make friends.
However, in the end, it turns out that the other party is the leader of a piracy organization, specializing in cracking software or games for profit.
In the end, Lin Hong still gave up his plan to contact the other party.
Listening to Guang Yongyuan talk about gamez88 this time, he remembered that person, and it seemed that there was overlap in many aspects, so he asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be him.
Although Guang Yongyuan knew that he must not be telling the truth in his heart, he did not continue to ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and they have the right to choose whether to tell others or not, and if they continue to ask questions without interest, they will only be bored with themselves.
Guang Yongyuan said: "Let's go to the packaging group now." ”
Then they came to the third group in the department, the packaging team.
The packaging here is not the shell design of the software. Instead, the game or software cracked by the crack group is compressed and packaged.
"In the cracking circle, packaging also has its own conventions and mature specifications, and it is not just a matter of compressing the cracked software directly into a package." Guang Yongyuan introduced. "It can be divided into two types: hard disk and optical disc."
In order to facilitate Lin Hong's understanding, Guang Yongyuan went directly to a spare computer and turned on the monitor that had been turned off. Then give him a demonstration in person.
Guang Yongyuan first opened a hard disk version of the game called "FIFA97", and he continued:
"See, the game is compressed separately, and the size and specification of each package are fixed."
As he said, Lin Hong saw that the size of each of these compressed packages did not exceed 2.8m.
"Under normal circumstances, it is best to have no more than 65 subpackages for a whole compressed package." Guang Yongyuan continued.
"Why?" Lin Hong really didn't pay attention to this situation, it was hard to predict. There are regulations on how big each package is and how many there are.
Guang Yongyuan shook his head: "It's mainly for the user to download, if it's too big, it's very inconvenient to download, which is an experience custom that has been handed down." It's like the distance between the railroad tracks of a train. It is generally accepted in the industry that it is more responsible for users to do so. ”
The distance between the railway tracks of trains in our country is 4.85 feet, or 1.48 meters. This size is also the standard distance of the international standard gauge.
The gauge between railroads in the United States is also of this size, and this is because the British also have this standard, and the earliest railroads in the United States were designed by the British. The railways in the UK were designed by the people who built the trams, and the distance between the trams was exactly 4.85 feet.
So. Where did the standards for tram tracks come from? The answer comes from the earliest distance between the two wheels of a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times. Why is this standard used for horse-drawn carriages? It is to conform to the ruts of the old roads of England. And these ancient ruts are left behind by the chariots of ancient Rome. Why was the distance between the two wheels of the ancient Roman chariot 4.85 feet? Because the chariot of ancient Rome was drawn by two horses, and the width of the buttocks of the two horses was exactly 4.85 feet.
It can be seen that this kind of "forward compatibility" thinking has existed since ancient times.
In the field of computer software and hardware, this idea has been implemented more thoroughly, and no one dares to break this law casually unless it is forced to do so.
After Apple-II and III models, Apple launched the highly anticipated Lisa model, but this model violated the idea of "previous compatibility" in many ways, and the changes were very large, and many previous programs were not supported, causing many Apple users to switch to the arms of IBM compatible machines.
Countless people have confirmed with their own tragic endings that breaking this law comes at a great price.
Next, Guang Yongyuan continued to introduce the compression standard of the disc version to Lin Hong.
The disc version does not have this limit, but in general, compressed packages are usually 15 trillion each. The general rule of specific compression is that an ISO package contains a ZIP package, and the multimedia files contained in the ZIP package are compressed with ace. This ensures a compression ratio of 1:12 and facilitates online dissemination.
Although Guang Yongyuan did not put it on the Internet, but burned it directly, this standard was meticulously implemented. As he said, there are no rules, and only rules are easy to manage.
Finally, there is the production team, they have a special disc printing workshop, which can produce the latest products in the first time, and then fully distribute the goods.
Needless to say, Xiangg itself is a piracy paradise, most of which flow directly to the entire mainland through Guangz, followed by some exports, sold to non-developed countries such as Southeast Asia and Africa.
According to Guang Yongyuan, in Xiangg, many gangs have their own piracy companies, but there is a difference between large and small scale, and there is also the type of work. For example, 14k's piracy is mainly concentrated in the field of erotic/erotic films, not only buying genuine film sources from Europe, America, Japan and other countries for piracy, but even having its own film entertainment company, and also shooting by itself.
At present, the income from the piracy business of Kowloon Hall accounts for a large proportion of Kowloon Hall, and it is a source of funds that cannot be ignored.
After listening to Guang Yongyuan's detailed introduction, Lin Hong really saw a complete piracy industry chain.
I have to say that this is indeed a profitable business, the cost is extremely low, there is almost no development cost, and the products developed by others with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds are directly cracked and copied, and then sold at a very low price.
Lin Hong came to visit out of curiosity and interest, and it did not mean that he encouraged this kind of behavior.
Many hackers crack these software, originally just out of interest or to maintain the spirit of hacking, but if these things are copied in large quantities and profited, it seems a bit unethical.
Lin Hong is not a moral pioneer, he does not ask others to do it, but at least he does not do it himself.
Of course, as a gang/gang organization, Jiulongtang does not do drug trafficking, forcing prostitution and the like, but does piracy, relatively speaking, it is already quite moral, and you can't ask too much of them. Everyone has their own way of living, and there will always be people who benefit and someone who gets hurt.
Lin Hong and Guang Yongyuan had just finished visiting all the departments, and Ah Lang, the patriarch of the cracking group, found Guang Yongyuan.
"Manager, there's something I'd like to report to you." Ah Lang said in half-baked Mandarin.
He is a Xiangg person, but Guang Yongyuan is a mainlander and is used to speaking Mandarin, so when they report the situation to Guang Yongyuan, they all follow him.
Guang Yongyuan said directly: "What's the matter, just say it." Mr. Lin is his own person and is out of the way. ”
Ah Lang said: "There is something wrong with the cracking in the United States, there was originally a batch to be handed over today, but now it has been delayed for several hours. ”
Guang Yongyuan was stunned: "What is the specific situation?" Why don't they deliver on time? ”
He naturally knew that the "over there" in Ah Lang's mouth naturally referred to the gamez88 crack group.
"They said that in the early hours of this morning, the American police raided one of their offices and arrested two core members, who are likely to face infringement lawsuits, and they said that they were arrested for helping us crack it, and asked our side to bear the loss. They demanded a fifty percent increase in the original price. ”
Guang Yongyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he thought about it, and finally said: "Their people were arrested, let us bear a certain responsibility, I have no opinion on this." But this can't be regarded as an interface for him to raise prices, this is a matter of principle. Tell them that we don't have to work with them, if we don't, we can find someone else, or even do it ourselves! ”
Their company has developed to the present, and it is no longer as weak as it was at the beginning, and Guang Yongyuan already has such confidence.
Originally, in order to insist on cooperation, they took the initiative to raise the price with the other party a few days ago, and the price for them was already quite high, but they didn't expect to be thought by the other party to be very generous, and now that something happened, they would directly increase the price by 50%.
Ah Lang said helplessly: "I also said this to them, but the other party said that this game, in addition to them, may only be able to crack the core at present, unless we can find core cooperation, otherwise this batch of goods will not be shipped at all." ”
Now the competition in the cracking industry is also quite fierce, if they can't be issued in the first time, they may be preempted by other companies, and their previous investment and preparation will be in vain. In addition, if you can't deliver on time, other sales channels may think that your strength is no longer good and will throw yourself into the arms of others. (To be continued.)
