Chapter 812 Rune 24 East
Yang Yun's journey to the west took a total of 40 days, this time it was really enjoyable, walked a full 12,000 kilometers, starting from the capital first to the northwest, and then to the southwest, through five provinces, and finally in a big circle in the new province, from the Taklamakan Desert seven in and seven out, Toyota China full team rescue and professional guide command, the team traveled throughout the western Xinjiang.
Yang Yun saw Zhao Yongping, Zhang Guoqiang and others waiting at the entrance of the Fourth Ring Road, thanked them for their perseverance at home during this time, and then said: "When I got married, I traveled abroad for half a year, and now I come back to travel at my doorstep. Next time the company has annual leave, I will build yƬ everyone to go to Xizang together. ā
The people in Blizzard Studios all looked a little haggard, and after such a long trip, they couldn't bear to be an old otaku like them who didn't go out all year round, and Marcos and Bill had a thousand words, which finally turned into one sentence: "The long river of Chinese history is too vast, and the scenery is too spectacular." ā
Zhao Yongping arranged for the staff of the Toyota Land Patrol team to follow the lead car to the animation and game industrial park, and then walked into Yang Yun's Mercedes-Benz commercial car and directed the team to set off in the walkie-talkie.
"Yongping, I didn't say anything in front of so many people just now, a few of you organized a convoy to pick us up from the West Fourth Ring Road, this is not your style, right?" Yang Yun asked.
Zhao Yongping smiled: "I can't hide anything from your eyes." Today, there will not only be a convoy to greet you, but also a police car to open the road, and when you arrive in the animation industrial park, there will be interviews with TV and media. ā
"Why?" Yang Yun wondered: "What qualifications do we have to make the police car drive the way?" ā
Zhao Yongping smiled mysteriously, Zhang Guoqiang really couldn't hold it back. preemptively said: "Mr. Zhu is inspecting the animation industrial park. ā
Yang Yun suddenly realized: "You borrowed Mr. Zhu's police car?" ā
Zhao Yongping explained: "It was Mr. Zhu who took the initiative to mention it, and he heard that there were guests from Toyota. I hope we can thank each other for their safe escort along the way. It's the same with people from TV and media, I heard that you went to the Western Regions to collect style. A lot of people are concerned about whether or not they are preparing for the next Western Regions style game. ā
Yang Yun laughed: "These people are too imaginative!" ā
It is more than ten minutes away from the West Fourth Ring Road to the Animation Industrial Park, and soon the convoy arrived, because of Zhu Shuguang's reasons, all activities were arranged and instructed by the security forces.
Yang Yun still had half an hour to wait, he first went back to the office and took a quick shower, then changed into a set of clean clothes and walked out, waiting in the designated conference room, almost all the high-level executives on Longteng's side were there, and after a while, Zhu Shuguang finished the meeting from the No. 1 multi-functional hall of the industrial park. Bring someone to this small conference room.
"Hello Mr. Zhu!" Yang Yun was the first to catch up, and his hands stretched out and shook Zhu Shuguang vigorously.
"Don't be restrained, you are business people, not officials, please sit down, feel free!" Zhu Shuguang smiled and pulled Yang Yun to the first seat, an oval conference table, where the leaders of the municipal party committee and the industrial park sat here, and there sat a plate of entrepreneurs. The atmosphere was congenial.
After Zhu Shuguang briefly inquired about Yang Yun's trip to the Western Regions, he smiled at Marcos, a foreigner, and said: "I hope that you foreign friends can look at our Chinese culture with a special eye, so that the game can show a unique style of artistic beauty!" ā
After listening to the interpreter's introduction, Marcos was a little excited. Stood up and said, "Don't worry, Longteng only makes high-quality games!" ā
This clever answer received a round of applause from everyone, and Yang Yun and Zhao Yongping also sent approving glances with a smile. I didn't expect Marcos, a half-China expert, to know how to speak so well.
Because it's a more formal contact. So everyone said some official words, and Zhu Shuguang left ten minutes later. Hulala, a large group of people all left, including the leaders of the industrial park, all the left-behind personnel breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled, and finally successfully completed the inspection task.
Yang Yun took people back to his company, made them tea, and then began to ask about what had happened recently.
Zhao Yongping introduced: "There are no big things, small things are constant, let's start with the domestic environment, the game "Dark 2" is too popular, and now many domestic college students have spontaneously organized the Dark Association, thousands of new posts in the dark area of the online forum every day, and the dark zone on the game battle platform has become the most popular online game, and in a round of applause, some discordant voices have jumped out again. ā
Yang Yun smiled dumbly: "Please allow me to burst into a foul language!" Why, these people are all well fed, and they can't see that we have some achievements, right? ā
Zhao Yongping was helpless: "Who said it wasn't?" However, there is a very headache point of view, they say that we worship foreign countries, our own country's games are not good, and as soon as the Western magic game comes out, it is either Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer Warhammer 40,000, which will have a bad impact on traditional Chinese culture in the long run, and will distort the cultural outlook of young people. ā
"Cultural outlook ......" Yang Yun was really speechless: "I know that no matter what we do, there will be people who hold high these so-called moral banners to criticize us." Leave them alone, I can do whatever I like. ā
Zhao Yongping knew that Yang Yun was a little unhappy, so he changed the content: "That's almost the case in China, let's talk about the reaction of the foreign market." Diablo 2 has been on the market for 40 days, but we only counted the sales of the first month, the first day was 2.4 million copies worldwide, and the monthly sales were 4.1 million copies, of which more than 3.5 million copies were sold in Europe and the United States, which has broken the record for PC games, and no game in history has reached this level. ā
Hearing this news, Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
In real history, the entire Diablo 1 and 2, including the expansion pack, according to the number of Blizzard's white papers, the statistics add up to 17 million copies, but there must be moisture in between, after all, the preferences of European and American players and Chinese players are completely different.
European and American gamers' love for games is mainly on TV game consoles, PC games in Europe and the United States market share is not as good as TV games, but in China, this is a reverse number, Chinese PC games occupy a dominant position, TV games are almost invisible, whether it is the number of game consoles or the number of games, far inferior to PC games.
Of course, this is also related to the national decree, in 2000, seven ministries and commissions issued a decree, the game industry was completely blocked, only the rapid development of the PC remained, players who like games had to choose PC games, more and more people can only contact online games, as for video games, many people may not have heard of.
In addition, when China developed the Internet, due to its own special reasons, it was impossible to control the spread of pirated software, and the first two generations of gamers in China did not have the genuine awareness that "playing games is to pay a fee", and people can download almost any resource for free on the Internet.
Therefore, Yang Yun believes that the 17 million copies of Diablo 1 and 2 on Blizzard's white paper are likely to be exaggerated.
He is now only selling 3.5 million copies of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 selling 4.1 million copies, even if you add the expansion, it will reach 15 million copies in a few years.
But at least the 2000 joint ban of seven ministries and commissions that appeared in real history has not yet appeared, and I wonder if Zhu Shuguang came to inspect it today, will there be a reason for this?
Yang Yun was very pleased with this: "Okay, I'm very satisfied." You're all doing a great job, all of you are doing a great job, and I hope you all keep up the good work! ā
After leaving the company, Yang Yun plans to rest for a few days today, going out to play is also a hard work, he almost didn't stick to it, he sat in the rescue car several times in and out of the desert and didn't get down, but Lin Zhiling can keep up with the big army throughout the whole process, no less than those strong guides and leaders, women's toughness is really stronger than men.
When he got home, Yang Yun saw his son running towards him with his hand upside down, and he was so happy that he immediately squatted down and threw his son into the sky with both hands, making his son giggle.
After kissing his son enough, Yang Yun noticed that Wu Cimei was coming, Cao Nini was also there, and pulled Lin Zhiling to talk non-stop, Lin Junjie was running blindly in the living room, and at this time he was trying to catch goldfish with a net, and the two nannies and aunts were chasing this little ancestor.
"Where's Zhihong?" Yang Yun asked strangely.
Wu Cimei looked at Cao Nini helplessly, and Cao Nini came over to complain with a look of grievance: "Brother, can you take care of Guan Zhihong?" He was fascinated by playing that game every day, and he didn't care about anything at home, and he didn't even want to play with his children......"
Yang Yun looked at Wu Cimei again, logically speaking, the daughter-in-law and her son have a conflict, this mother-in-law's position is very critical, whether the mother-in-law does well determines whether the family is harmonious or not, if Lin Zhihong does not do it right, the most effective thing to speak should be his wife Cao Nini, not his mother Wu Cimei!
But Wu Cimei was still that helpless, and her expression looked like she couldn't take care of it, but it was more like she didn't want to care.
Yang Yuncai was reluctant to get involved in these headache housework, he smiled and said, "I'll see what's going on first." Is he here today? ā
"Here, play games in the study!" Lin Zhiling pointed to the side of the study.
Yang Yun walked over there, and Cao Nini reminded him in a whisper: "You must persuade him not to play games~"
"This woman! Is this a good persuasion? Yang Yun didn't think so, pushed open the door, and saw Lin Zhihong concentrating in front of a large monitor.
"You're back? Come on here, I'll show you something! Lin Zhihong waved excitedly.
Yang Yun walked over and took a look, sure enough, it was "Diablo 2", and then swept it, yo, the difficulty of hell was still fighting Countess Andariel.
"Show me something?"
"Ist Eastist rune, according to the number, it is the 24th, it was dropped by the countess yesterday, this is the highest-level rune dropped by the countess I have ever seen, it needs to be level 51."
ā¦ā¦
It's the end of the month (to be continued......)
