After the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show, Yang Yun walked around North America in turn, Los Angeles, New York, Burnaby, and Minnesota, meeting with some people and explaining a few things.

The Timberwolves team has Alexey's assistant, a qiē is normal, the key is the "Game-Informer" magazine, this magazine Yang Yun knows, the game magazine peers, before he was reborn, known as the world's No. 1 game magazine, the highest circulation in the world, now it is necessary to have a good relationship with them, Yang Yun specially came to the door in person, invited their CEO Ford to China Shanghai Longteng Company as a guest.

In Los Angeles, Yang Yun met with Cheng Long, and pulled the Walter family to hand over the film adaptation rights of "Tomb Raider 1 - China Prequel" to Cheng Long Company, produced by 20th Century Fox, starring Angelina Jolie, Cheng Long and Jon cameo, the script was in place, and filming started in early 95.

Go to Burnaby, meet Distinctive secretly, Need for Speed is in the works, KTT has more and more mature 3D engine technology, and Yu Suzuki's porting on PC is getting more and more comfortable, but Yang Yun has left them with a whole year, and they have plenty of time to improve.

Finally, he went to New York, in addition to meeting Jiang Shaoyun, Yang Yun also secretly met with KTT President Brown.

Under the appeal of many players, John had to agree to port Doom2 on the SS platform, but Yang Yun knew that this was impossible, and it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to have any relationship now.

In Jiang Shaoyun's office, Yang Yun said solemnly: "Brown." I told you last time when Tomb Raider was released. That's when KTT acquired ID. The most valuable thing about this company is the Doom series of engines, but Doom 2 is in my opinion. Not even as good as our Stereo No. 3! It's very simple, I don't care what means you use, suppress, destroy, acquire, I don't want to see a Doom3 engine on the market! ”

Jiang Shaoyun was shocked in his heart, he had never seen Yang Yun so ruthless and so solemnly to such a ruthless attack on a small company in the same industry. Even the original "Dune 2" against Nishiki was only a delay, not a ruthless attempt to suppress Miè.

Brown didn't care, and said coldly: "Count, KTT has contacted ID no less than 15 times." I have long wanted to use tactics against them if I have repeatedly refused to listen to persuasion! ”

Yang Yun is ruthless, even if he doesn't want to, he has to destroy Doom3, otherwise ID will launch "Thor's Hammer" in 1996 in the future. His Quake engine will become the world's leading 3D engine, and will spin off classics such as "Half-Life", "Thief", "Unreal", "Deus Ex", and "Return to Wolfenstein".

It's fine to have him alone, these classic games, without the Doom and Quake engines. He can do the same, and there is no need for so many competitors in the market!

Then Brown was a little embarrassed: "NWC's 'Heroes' hasn't been made yet, and Distinctive's Need for Speed is still in the works. Now it's going to destroy the ID again, it seems that there is only action. And I can't see the benefits! ”

Yang Yun pondered for a while and said, "Doesn't Heishi even have this little patience? That's right. There's a company called Maxis-Software, and it's going to have to be acquired. While their SimCity series is the same competitor as Dragon's Theme Park series, it doesn't matter, as long as you grab it from EA, it doesn't matter how many competitors there are! ”

Brown finally got excited, Wall Street traders love to do financial activities, and the small companies they are targeting, except for hard bones like ID, are basically handy.

After arranging North America, Yang Yun stopped flying back to Shanghai, just in time for Zhu Shuguang to return to Beijing to participate in the National Day activities, the two met, exchanged for half an hour, and hurriedly separated.

The preparations for the Dakar Rally are basically completed, the Great Wall Racing Team's special pickup trucks and drivers are in place, and the cooperation between the Shanghai Big Shark Racing Team and General Motors has also been completed, and the two teams carry the dream of Chinese racing, test vehicle performance in the desert near Beijing, and train drivers scientifically and systematically.

These things don't need to be personally managed by Yang Yun, the State General Administration of Sports and the Shanghai Municipal Government attach great importance to it, and at the same time, CCTV is also tracking and filming the whole process, recording programs, and funded by Longteng Company.

Because the time was too short, Zhu Shuguang didn't explain too many things, and there was no way to elaborate on many thoughts, so he patted Yang Yun on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yang, after the National Day, I'll ask the secretary to call you!" ”

Yang Yun was also busy, and after saying goodbye from Zhu Shuguang, he inspected the Shanghai R&D Center.

The game rating proposal he put forward at the consumer electronics exhibition, of course, is that it will be done, and the proposal has been made, and it is impossible to end it so hastily.

When it was first proposed, it was to disrupt Ken Kuta's position and judgment, and sure enough, they put Nintendo together at the press conference, and although they didn't turn their faces on the spot, they also left a rift.

After a complete face-to-face with Sony, this game rating can only be done by Longteng and NEC, but Yang Yun has found a more suitable partner, the American collaborator is the "Game Announcement" magazine, and the main force in China, of course, is reserved for the "Popular Software" that is close to Longteng!

Li Jian rushed over after receiving Yang Yun's notice, and sat down with Ford and Yang Yun from Minnesota to discuss it carefully.

Yang Yun said: "I only want to make one request, openly, fairly, and impartially evaluate all games and PC games on the Sega platform, I don't care about the specific method, you can discuss what to do yourself." ”

Longteng's royal domestic media "Popular Software", the American cooperative media "Game Notice" that Longteng just found, let the two of them openly and fairly score every game in the world, oh no, it's all game ratings except Sony and Nintendo, isn't this a cover-up?

Li Jian asked tentatively, "Mr. Yang, is this for anyone?" Or ......"

This is a common practice in China, and the Jingheshi yàn room is no exception, more or less will have their own preferences and preferences, so Li Jian wonders if it is going to be done for some people, such as Japan's "Famitsu", whether it is against them.

Yang Yun shook his head: "No, I'm serious!" I want you to make the most authoritative rating group, all composed of independent editors, not influenced by the outside world, to make it the most authoritative rating committee in the world, so that players around the world can regard this rating list as the Bible, can you do it? ”

Ford's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "This is the first in-depth cooperation between Chinese and American magazines......

Li Jian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally understood what Yang Yun meant.

At the height of Longteng, do you still need to bribe various rating editors? What he wants is the most authoritative and fair committee, which checks the players in advance, and makes evaluations and recommendations by the way, and is a rating committee that is completely from the perspective of the players.

To make the world's most authoritative leaderboard, so that players have dependence, and then forget about Sony and Nintendo games that are not in the game list, and reduce their influence to the minimum, this is Longteng's plan!

Li Jian said excitedly: "Mr. Yang, this matter is handed over to me, I will reorganize the Jingheshi room and discuss with Mr. Ford to come up with a better way to make the world's most authoritative, most consulted, and largest professional game magazine!" ”

Ford couldn't stop laughing, they finally climbed the big tree of Longteng, and now they immediately get a good project to establish global authority, a fool will refuse, this is a good opportunity for "Game Pass" magazine to be famous all over the world!

Yang Yun smiled with satisfaction, Longteng has the help of two world-class professional game media, and the popular software and games have become famous and profitable, which is a win-win ending.

As for whether it's really fair?

There has never been absolute fairness in this world, and the strong will always be respected. Now Sony's games with Nintendo are not eligible to be added at all, and unless they compromise with Dragon, there can be no fairness!

After this matter was dealt with, the second thing that Yang Yun was busy with was that the whole company was on first-level alert, and all the people were soldiers to fight against the alliance of Sony and Nintendo.

After the official turnaround, there was a huge upheaval in the global game industry, and the Japanese media gradually began to advocate the revitalization of Japanese games, regarded Sony Games as a hope to save local games, and called on all Japanese game producers to provide games for Sony's PS platform, while criticizing Sega's monopolistic behavior.

In China, all of them support Longteng Company, demanding strict management of game quality, rejection of inferior and abusive games, protection of the healthy development of the game industry, and resistance to disorderly and malicious competition.

The two sides insisted on their own words and fired in the media over the air, while a large number of offline game production companies basically stopped standing in line and began to wait and see what happened.

The biggest threat that Yang Yun may face is the participation of the Japanese government, you know, the Japanese government is also one of Nintendo's shareholders, and it will definitely not sit idly by and watch Sony be crushed, if they use executive orders to restrict Longteng, this will be a fatal blow!

"The change of national policy is force majeure in the contract, if the Japanese government rules that our Longteng is a malicious monopoly, then the exclusive game contract we signed will be invalid!"

Yuan Xinyi's face was pale, she didn't dare to imagine this terrible consequence, if the game industry reshuffles and prohibits any game platform company from signing exclusive contracts, then the hundreds of game manufacturers in Longteng's hands are likely to lose some of them to the PS platform.

When Yang Yun heard her report, his face was expressionless, he looked at the ten most trusted subordinates under him, and asked lightly, "What do you think about this matter?" (To be continued......)
