Chapter 434: Gain Half a Year

As a result of the emergence of Wang, a powerful game manufacturer has emerged in the Chinese market. For South Koreans, the Chinese market is a matter of life and death. They will not be deterred by Celadon technology, but will launch more violent attacks.

The 1,500 game manufacturers in South Korea once fought on their own, and the Chinese game industry was thrown to pieces. If it's united...... The power is not to be underestimated!

Before Wang Buzhu knew it, his thinking had turned a corner. He was thinking that "Stunning Country" would take about half a year to make. In December, what games will Koreans come up with to attack the Chinese market?

When he was working on "Stunning Country", if he was always distracted to block the Korean games that popped up one by one, could he still concentrate on making games?

……

Just when Wang lived up to his worries about the Koreans.

Minister Huang, who had met Wang at E3, has come to China and is hosting a real estate owner. The real estate owner had a fat head and big ears, a gold necklace, and the female secretary next to him was tall and charming. Looking at the way this person looks, he doesn't know much about the game.

Minister Huang didn't know what to think in his heart, with a straight look on his face, and introduced the agency method of Korean games to the boss.

Outside the office, there were four or five bosses with secretaries or drivers. All have to see Minister Huang.

Soon, the door opened. Minister Huang sent the fat-headed and big-eared real estate boss away, and politely welcomed a boss in.

Minister Huang worked very hard. A game as "simple" as "Air Combat Vanguard" can be as profitable in the Chinese market. This made all Koreans red-eyed.

Minister Huang some time ago. Dozens of parliamentarians were courted and a proposal was passed in Congress.

In this proposal, the South Korean government will set up a formal department to coordinate and guide the development of Korean games, and the government will come forward to promote the export of Korean games.

Minister Huang rose to the top and sent to China on behalf of the South Korean government to help Korean games enter the Chinese market.

His department, officially known as the "China-Korea Entertainment and Cultural Exchange Office". The main job is, of course, to help Korean games find agents in China.

As soon as he arrived in China, Minister Huang began to act. The tiger skin of the "South Korean government" is really easy to use. When dealing with local governments in China. At the very least, he will be received by the deputy mayor. Minister Huang went to several places in a row, but he was not neglected.

Those leaders are particularly fond of showing the demeanor of a great country and are very fond of doing "face-saving" things. It was very embarrassing to hear the "representatives of the South Korean government" begging their local leaders. The leaders were triumphant. Promise to help say hello.

Soon. The promotional draft of the Korean game appeared in the newspapers of those places.

The press release was carefully written by Minister Huang. He wrote about the plight of Korean games, the difficulties of the European and American markets, and the fact that China and South Korea should stay warm, and also introduced Korean games that appeared on E3.

This promotional release is not for players, but for Chinese bosses who have money but nowhere to spend it. Every sentence in it. All have deep meanings.

Writing about the difficulties encountered by Korean games and the difficulty of entering the European and American markets is to show weakness and tell the big bosses in China that Korean manufacturers are very easy to control, and the risk of acting as an agent for games is very low. China's big bosses are used to doing business, so they naturally know the importance of stable supply of goods. Most of the draft is about this matter.

The Korean game made it to E3, which speaks to the quality of the game. Stable and high-quality products are here, are you afraid that no one will be impressed?

Sure enough, there are really a lot of people who are moved.

The miracle of Wang's establishment not only made Koreans red, but many people in China wanted to take a piece of the pie. In traditional industries, a rate of return of 200 percent is enough for people to take risks. But what about the king? The king lived up to it, but it was a five, or even tenfold rate of return!

To join the game box games, quality assurance is required, and this threshold prevents a lot of speculators. For those big bosses who play finance and do foreign trade, the more they are denied entry, the more they are eyeing the game market.

When they saw the propaganda draft, they were very moved. Koreans sent to the door, isn't it a match made in heaven? Ready-made games are here, and you don't need to make them yourself, you can make money!

For them, the game is all the same. It's like instant noodles and sweaters, but it's just a difference in taste and style. Since the game market is very profitable, as long as the quality is okay, someone will play it when it is released. Someone plays, and you can make money!

……

It was only in the afternoon that Wang learned that the Koreans had set up a stronghold in the capital a few days earlier and began to attract investment. He also got the promotional draft, and after reading the games on the draft, he felt that the threat was not too great.

The Korean games that have appeared in E3 are almost all games made in the first half of the year, or even last year. The fashion level is not as good as "Air Combat Vanguard", and the quality is not as good as the two ARPG games "Diablo 2" and "Amazing Country: Gaiden". Outdated.

It is true that the Chinese game market has great potential, but players are not stupid, how can they spend money on any game?

Wang Bu thought about it, but decided that in order to ensure safety, he had to make preparations. He made a phone call and called someone from the legal department to ask if there would be a legal danger if the game box was connected to Diablo 2.

Wang's question is very strange, but the legal counsel doesn't care about it. They think about it for a moment and say, "It depends on whether you're ready to make a profit." If you make money from that game and get sued, the lawsuit will definitely be lost, and we can only reduce the amount of compensation as much as possible. If you don't make money from that game, we won't lose the case if we can. ”

The bottom line is that it's not profitable. The king lived up to his heart. The preparation he has to do is to integrate Diablo 2 into the game box.

Longyou Company relied on "Diablo 2" to make a lot of money. But after deleting the Battle.net module, "Diablo 2", which became a stand-alone game, did not have a long-term vitality and began to cool down.

Of course, Wang Bubu would not have let the game box be connected to that game before. But now facing competition from Korean games, Wang has to let go of his prejudices. Turning the stand-alone version of Diablo 2 into an online game should have the effect of stopping Korean games.

Anyway, Diablo 2 has sold more than six million copies. Sales have been very stable, and even if they can be connected to the Internet, they will not increase sales much. Players who have bought the genuine version and want to pull their friends to play Diablo 2 online, most of them will not let their friends buy a new one, but will give their own disk to each other.

And using the game box to play "Diablo 2" online, although Wang does not have visible benefits, there are also invisible returns. Players of Diablo 2 install the game box for the first time in order to connect to the Internet, and the advertisements of the game box and the push of celadon games can be counted as revenue.

Even if it doesn't do any good, it's worth it just to capture the market and stop those Korean games that are on E3 from becoming popular in the Chinese market.

It took half a year for Wang to make "Stunning Rivers". In the past six months, Celadon Technology has been like a cocoon of butterflies, unable to respond quickly to the environment.

If there is a Korean game that takes advantage of the long holiday in the country during the National Day in October, it becomes popular. At that time, "Stunning Country" will be halfway through, and Wang Bubu will have no strength to react, so he can only sit and watch the market be eroded. This is something that Wang Cheng cannot accept.

To capture the market, you not only need a game that is popular enough, but also the right genre. Launching a hundred excellent real-time strategy games can't occupy the MMORPG market. Wang Bufu has represented a lot of games from E3, and he can continue to throw them out, but he is not up to the task of occupying the market.

The 3D version of Diablo 2 is a good fit. That's definitely a good game, well-made and informative. In the European and American markets, this game relied on the bonus of "Blizzard Battle.net" and sold more than 10 million, suppressing all games in the same period. At E3, Blizzard's booth was crowded, and it was clear how fun Diablo 2 was in its entirety.

Although this game is not in the hands of Wang Buful, when playing with Korean games, you can't be so meticulous. Not allowing Korean games to profit is the highest criterion for kings.

The implementation of "Diablo 2", Longyou Company is also unable to make a profit. In the opening animation of "Diablo 2", there is only Blizzard's logo, and the words "Longyou Company" do not appear in the game at all. No matter how popular the game is, the brand value of the dealer will not be improved.

Wang called the team of the game box and asked them to study the method of using the game box to connect to Diablo 2.

The game box team listened to Wang's request and didn't understand it very well. Wang Buful's words are very good, "Diablo 2" removes the login module of Battle.net, and the networking function has not been deleted. It's just that Wang Bubu wants to help his opponent promote the game?

Last month's showdown between Celadon Technology and Blizzard attracted national attention. Until now, there are people debating which of the two different types of ARPGs is fun. Within Celadon Technology, in the face of European and American giants like Blizzard, the entire company has the same hatred and hatred, and the cohesion has increased greatly.

None of the employees have forgotten, did Wang Bucheng forget it first?

Wang didn't live up to the smile, what kind of duel, it was all the blood that I listened to at that time. Now that it's over, we have to look forward. How can you keep staring at what happened two months ago?

"You do it first. When is it expected to be done? Wang asked.

"Wait a minute." On the side of the game box team, the employee who answered the phone turned his head and asked loudly: "Alas, you said last time that you extracted the networking module of "Diablo 2" and realized LAN connection. Can it be integrated into a game box? ”

The voice of the person who answered was very soft, but Wang Buyi could still hear it: "Yes! In the past few days, a few cousins in my family wanted to play Diablo 2 online, so I cracked it. It can be connected to the local area network, and it can also be connected to the game box. ”

It seems that none of the teams that need the game box will spend much time. Wang Buyi said: "You make this function into the game box, and when it is done, it will be released and updated." I'll send you the text of the updated notes later. ”

Wang lived up to his plan and wrote a sentence on the update file: "This update adds the networking function of Diablo 2. ”

In this way, the two types of role-playing games "Diablo 2" and "Amazing Country: Gaiden" all have 100% gameplay through the Internet. Completely occupy the market of RPG games, and give Celadon Technology half a year to make games with peace of mind. (To be continued......)
