Chapter 396: The Big Market for Games
Nick. Anderson had long discussed the game market with Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui, and after his virtual battle system (live CS) was denied by the Pentagon and aroused the interest of the Chinese military, he began to work on the development of a civilian version. The civilian version has no technical difficulties at all, what kind of standards should be used for difficult things. Real-time terrain simulation with sensors is obviously not feasible and unrealistic, but considering that it is not good to equip Pandora's helmet with a mouse and keyboard, Pandora spends more time not on the implementation of technology, but on the unification of standards. Eventually, they felt that after the launch of the new Bluetooth glove accessory, it was also necessary to open up the mouse and keyboard interface of the virtual helmet, so that it would look a bit silly to take a big helmet and then sit on the table and shake the mouse and press the keyboard. But if it is equipped with Bluetooth gloves, this operation can be replaced by manual operation, which is very hands-on. If you get a set of full-body sensing sensors, and then turn on the real battle mode networking, directly through the guΓ² network and the host connection, it will be close to actual combat, if the actual combat platform is large enough, the number of access jΓΉ is enough, then it is not impossible to simulate military battles, this is the Chinese military is interested in such an information platform can be equivalent to the actual combat simulation of military confrontation.
The civilian version of the game has been in the planning, and the first to be launched is "Counter-Strike", of course, in addition, Pandora has also acquired the copyright of many games, and is ready to make a big show in this field, not to mention anything else, just say that the real and fantastic game effects produced by Pandora's helmet are enough to make people flock to it. In fact, with the opening of the mouse and keyboard interfaces, the Pandora helmet can function as a game console just like a computer. Even if the graphics are only two-dimensional, the game is better than a computer screen.
Therefore, when Shen Zhenghui and Liu Gongzi explained this matter, Liu Gongzi immediately threw the profits of Pandora's film into the back of his mind.
There are ready-made examples of making a fortune in games, and Mr. Chen of Shanda has relied on a Korean kimchi game and has now reached the level of tens of billions of dollars; Boss Zhu also relied on the agency of the game "World of Warcraft" to become a giant in the industry. also invested in the football team to play, and Ding Sanshi was red-eyed, and wanted to fight for the agency of "World of Warcraft", the two people and their backstage fought hard, and the profit of the game was so high; Not to mention Penguin's practice of plagiarism as a profession, with a huge number of users, he has no time to lose money.
Liu Gongzi already knows very well that Pandora is a technology monopoly and relies on monopoly technology. Direct control of the upstream and downstream. Let's not care about how the technology monopoly is broken, just talk about the current situation, a Pandora-format game - the only one, the only agency, in such a huge market as China, no matter how it is operated, it is a comparison of making more and earning more, not to mention that the follow-up games are all their own agents. Figure this out. Liu Gongzi couldn't help but drool.
"Do you want me to start a game company? It's better to buy one first and then upgrade the technology. Liu Gongzijian said, "I can pay all the investment in hardware." β
"Don't worry. We can talk about this slowly, and I think we can just talk about principled things. Shen Zhenghui said, "This game can only be said to be a test of the market, we can talk about the specific details later, I will roughly say it, you can probably guess it." The actual operation of "Counter-Strike" is like LOL, you can play it for free, and you can charge money to buy weapons......"
Liu Gongzi had already seen countless banknotes flying down from the sky, "...... First set up local servers around the world, and finally be able to play games around the world...... But I don't know if it will not be tried because of bloody violence. β
"I can't wait." Liu Gongzi snorted. "Don't worry, there must be a way to get the permit approved," he crooked his mouth, "Am I not as good as Penguin?" Masturbating and poisoning teenagers is not the same as passing the trial. β
"That's why I'm willing to cooperate with you," Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows, "In terms of technology, Pandora will assist you, and we don't invest or interfere in game agencies, but I think it's better for you to buy a website first or make your own website." After a pause, he said, "The game will be a combination of online and disc release," and after a pause, he said, "The game package is a bit big, and I'm a little bit worried about the technology." β
"Pandora format! Understandable. β
After talking about the principled things in a few words, the two of them fell into silence a little. Liu Gongzi hid all kinds of doubts in his heart, after all, Shen Zhenghui had just met, but the business that the two of them talked about just now, the future income is not afraid of tens of billions, so he tried to get closer to the relationship between the two people, coughed, Liu Gongzi asked, "I heard that you have become an expert in the construction of spiritual civilization." β
"Guidance experts, you don't need to hear about it, if you are on the news network, you must have a very clear background."
Liu Gongzi blushed, of course he knew it very well, he even thought that this was a slap in the face by Shen Zhenghui to him, but he still asked with some doubts, "The elder in charge of the construction of spiritual civilization is about to retire, what else can you do at this time?" You know," Liu Gongzi stared at his face, "Now this 'go to the grassroots level, be down-to-earth' or something is his last political work." β
"Yes," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "At this time, I should also show my ability to the next elders, right?" β
"You want to show the Great Elder what you're capable of?" Liu Gongzi was shocked.
"It's not that the next elder in charge of spiritual civilization, and even your father are the ones I want to show their abilities to, of course, for people like us, it is enough to prove that we have such talents, and how to use them is not up to us." He spread his hands, "But I'll try to retain a little bit of autonomy. β
"So you're going to do that online micro-film contest?"
"You're well-informed!" Shen Zhenghui was quite surprised, "Yes, I did it." β
"I don't think the organizers have any official units, so are you -- bring your own dry food?"
"Sometimes you have to pay a little money yourself," Shen Zhenghui nodded, "but most of the time you can earn it back." He smiled. It is also necessary to take advantage of this time that no one is in charge, otherwise, it is really not possible to protect yourself without an official organization, but generally speaking, the ability of official institutions to do bad things is much stronger than the ability to do things, especially in the propaganda department. β
Liu Gongzi subconsciously pouted. He expressed a certain disdain for this consistent prejudice, which was due to his grievances on behalf of his old son. However, even he had to admit that these bureaucrats are really good at bad things when they do more and do more wrong, less wrong and not good propaganda departments, and they don't know how to do things correctly in the new form, and this is completely a system problem.
"So there will definitely be your work by then?"
"Yes, at least there will be a work directed by me." Shen Zhenghui replied.
"Oh. That's really looking forward to it! Liu Gongzi said, as if to show closeness, he said, "I like "Magic Apprentice" very much, the first two episodes of the prequel, I just watched it some time ago. β
"Oh, really?" Shen Zhenghui was surprised.
"Isn't that weird?" Liu Gongzi asked rhetorically, "If you don't look at it." How do I know that doing Pandora's business is promising? β
"You can be honest." Shen Zhenghui's tone couldn't tell if it was mocking.
"Well, I'd like to ask." Liu Gongzi asked, "How long do you think Pandora's technological monopoly can be maintained?" He stared at Shen Zhenghui with blazing eyes.
Shen Zhenghui said in his heart, how do I know, it depends on Nick. Anderson's wrist was gone, but he still had a calm expression on the surface, "The difference between the first and the next is not the technical step. β
Liu Gongzi's face obviously showed a thoughtful expression. Then he nodded, "You're right. He couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for future game development?" β
Shen Zhenghui grabbed his hair and said a little perfunctorily, "A lot." Then he seemed to remember, "By the way, Apprentice Magician is also going to be a Pandora-style online game," and with a laugh, he continued, "Starting with the prequel and going to the sequel, now that the schedule and settings are ready, we are thinking about how to implement it." β
"Really?" Liu Gongzi was a little distracted, "The online game of "Magic Apprentice"? β
"There is also a stand-alone version," Shen Zhenghui responded, "Actually, if we can, we even want to make Harry Potter an online game and a stand-alone version of the game, which are very good selling points." β
"Of course I believe it," Liu Gongzi narrowed his eyes, "to be honest, I have a collection of Pandora-format movies from "Apprentice to Magic" and "Harry Potter", and even if I take a few minutes every day to feel the feeling of being in that magical world, it makes people feel refreshed." β
"Really? However, the sales of "Twilight" and Japanese adult movies are also good, have you felt these two categories? β
Liu Gongzi's face showed embarrassment, "This, hahaha......" and then he switched back, "You also have plans for the game?" β
"There is a Japanese market," Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, "It can even be said that Pandora-format movies are probably the most made in Japan now, and when Carl and Friedrich were still tossing the second part of the prequel to "The Magic Apprentice", several Japanese adult film directors had already made finished products and were ready to be released. Shen Zhenghui sighed with emotion, "They are very research-oriented, of course, this has something to do with the fact that their finished scenes are relatively simple." β
Liu Gongzi was a little stunned by this insider, "Is that so?" He asked, "I thought," he looked at Shen Zhenghui, "Hollywood will be the first to catch up, and you can also take care of China Film." β
"Actually, from a technical point of view, Pandora is the same as real 3D and 3D, and the technical difference is not particularly big."
"It's just that it's very large." Liu Gongzi nodded to himself.
"Most of the volume is used for encryption." Shen Zhenghui responded.
"Okay," Liu Gongzi spread his hands, "I really hope your encryption is so effective now." β
"I remember you said before about piracy or something, why, your subordinates broke this encryption? Or is it really as you said, it was cracked by the state real yΓ n room. β
A hint of unnaturalness flashed on Liu Gongzi's face, "Of course the National Real Office has this ability," he said, "If the supercomputer counts for several days, what password can't be cracked?" Liu Gongzi pursed his lips, "But as you said, those who can do this are units with names and surnames, and they can't violate the copyright law to seek this kind of benefit, just make a technical reserve." β
"This really makes me a little disappointed in the folk masters!" Shen Zhenghui smiled slightly.
Liu Gongzi was squeezed for a moment, and said with some annoyance, "Actually, there is a university research institute that has also made achievements, and he has cracked the password lock that you prohibit copying and pasting, and many individuals are ready to invest in his patented technology," and then he pouted, "Fortunately, this person's brain is still relatively clear." β
"He can't refuse you?"
"If I can get your permission, of course I don't need this technology." Liu Gongzi confessed very frankly, "But if you can't get it, how big of a deal is it to set up an underground company to sell pirated discs?" I'll just be pirating Hollywood movies when the time comes. β
"You're a ...... Confess! Shen Zhenghui said with some emotion, "Actually, we all know about that gentleman, Nick. Anderson has already sent someone to acquire his technology, and then you know that the next generation of Pandora format will be upgraded. β
Liu Gongzi paused for a moment, "You guys are really fast!" β
"It's also for eating!"
"Pandora's company has a big business," Liu Gongzi pouted, "It's really capable to have such a reaction!" β
"Husband's misfortune often accumulates in the slightest, and wisdom and courage are more trapped in drowning." Shen Zhenghui smiled, "That's it." β
Liu Gongzi was not very interested in Shen Zhenghui's dragging, and at this time, his phone rang, this stood up and walked to the corner to answer the call, Shen Zhenghui sensed from his changing expression that this was a big thing, especially from the receiver of the phone came words such as "car accident" and "crashed to death", which made Liu Gongzi's expression more and more gloomy.
"I have something to do and I'm going to leave soon." He said, and the two attendants immediately stood up.
"Not a big deal, is it?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"It's a bit troublesome," Liu Gongzi said in a low tone, "A partner has died, and we have to re-talk about the equity issue of our cooperation." (To be continued......)
