When he walked out of the technology market, he was faced with a heat wave, and Qi Ming suddenly regretted that the Yili torch in his hand just now was too fast.

The six games, all of which are genuine, are more than 600 yuan, which is really barely a conscience price.

In '99, Japanese games represented by Sega and Capcom were very popular.

The two leading players in the European and American game industry are EA and Ubisoft.

At the same time, a shooting game of V Society, which became a blockbuster at last year's E3 exhibition, and quickly became popular in Europe and the United States, called "Half-Life", and domestic players like to call it "Half-Life".

But in the real sense, the "Half-Life" that domestic players are familiar with is actually "Counter-Strike" made by mods.

And following the popularity of Half-Life in China, there is another Blizzard game "Diablo 2".

However, the popularity of these two games will be next year or the year after, and with the mushrooming of domestic computer rooms, these games first appeared in the computer room.

At this time, opening a computer room is really profitable, there is a saying, how to say, if you want to send, open a computer room - phew! It doesn't rhyme at all.

Five hundred yuan is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for a high school student like Qi Ming, but fortunately, his parents are both in business, and he has intentionally cultivated Qi Ming's awareness of saving money and managing money from a very young age.

After graduating from junior high school, Qi Ming had a bank card of his own, and he deposited some money in it from time to time, and now there are more than 2,000 yuan in it.

Coming out of the technology market, Qi Ming was not in a hurry to go home.

Instead, I came to a building opposite the technology market, took the elevator to the third floor, followed the sign to find a room inside, and was attracted by the inconspicuous words at the door.

"Internet affairs with the wind computer room, 13 yuan per hour."

That's right! Thirteen yuan an hour, you must know that pork is only three or four yuan a pound at this time.

At that time, small cities like Zhongzhou, or most cities, did not have the concept of computer rooms, and most of them were called computer rooms.

The game basically only has Red Alert, Interstellar, Age of Empires, and in addition to watching movies, only surfing the Internet remains.

Compared with the 100 megabit broadband of the home network in later generations, the network speed of more than 100 KB in this era is called Internet surfing.

At the door of the computer room sat a young woman about 20 years old, wearing black-framed glasses, knocking melon seeds, while using a computer to watch "Huanzhu Gege Part II".

Qi Ming glanced at the computer room and roughly figured out the overall pattern.

In the entire small half-story building, there are about 20 machines.

The kind of solid and heavy gray big head monitor, you can also see the floppy drive and optical drive on the chassis.

The half-dead air conditioner whines overhead, and the Crystal Girls and Sunshine Boys around them are chatting happily on OICQ.

Even in the corner, there are several junior high school students sharing a computer watching indescribable European and American movies.

"Surfing the web, thirteen in a single hour."

The young girl who was eating melon seeds said without raising her head.

"Sister, I don't go online."

Qi Ming's small mouth is like smeared with honey, and the one that my sister calls is called sweet.

The little girl who was eating melon seeds heard that the other party's mouth was very sweet, even though her appearance was cold and indifferent, but she was very happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but take her eyes off the TV series.

Seeing Qi Ming as a white young man, he is not handsome, at most he is pleasing to the eye. Wearing a white shirt, it seems a little out of place with the atmosphere of this computer room.

"I just want to ask, can our computer room crack the genuine game?"

This sentence made the little girl sit up involuntarily, put down the melon seeds in her hand, she glanced at Qi Ming again and waved her hand: "We are a regular computer room, and we don't do piracy." ”

Qi Ming didn't mean to give up, and continued to ask: "The latest European and American games, the kind that are not available on the market." ”

"Not interested."

"So,What about sinicization? Purely manual translation of the sinicization,Interested? Qi Ming continued

The little girl who swallowed melon seeds: "My boyfriend is the boss here, you wait here for a while, I'll call him out, and the two of you can talk." ”

Compared with later generations downloaded directly from the official platform,All games at this time are discs,Some popular large-scale games,Domestic publishers have their own sinicization。

But there is a time gap in this, such as classic games such as "Half-Life" and "Diablo", the former has been popular in Europe and the United States after the E3 exhibition in 98 years, and "Diablo" was also released at the beginning of the 20000s, and then the sales were out of control.

However, it will take two or three years for these two games to enter the field of vision of domestic players.

From 1999 to 2001, two years were like a vacuum, and if you don't catch it, I'm really sorry for this back-file life.

The boss of the Internet is a young man surnamed Lu who is a few years older than Qi Ming.

How to describe it, skinny, a small white T-shirt, it still feels empty on the body, a bit like the fat head in Chen Xiaochun's version of Lu Ding Ji.

He has long hair, the ends of his hair are thinner, and his bangs hang down in front of his eyes, yes, it is the Wenqing hairstyle that was popular for a while in the late nineties, represented by his father-in-law.

It's full of entourage and uninhibited, it's just not easy to take care of, and it's greasy if you don't wash it for two days.

In fact, it is no accident that Qi Ming found the Internet affair with the wind, let alone a blind cat touching a dead mouse.

There are about a dozen computer labs near the technology market, and this is not counting the many little-known computer masters in the technology market of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The reason why I chose to follow the trend of online affairs is because during the crackdown on piracy in 07, the scale of the boss who followed the wind in online affairs was the largest.

Later, Qi Ming learned his identity, and this product turned out to be a senior moderator of the 3DM forum.

When it comes to cracking games, especially those that have just been released for a short time, not to mention the whole country, there are only a few studios around the world that have this ability.

And 3DM and Ranger Network are the leaders in China.

The boss of the Internet affair is surnamed Lu, and he glanced at Qi Ming up and down, to be honest, a high school student, they are really not necessarily in the eyes of social people.

But when he heard that Qi Ming could provide sinicization, he was very interested in chatting with Qi Ming: "You can crack any game you want." But I need to remind you, lad, that you should know that there are risks in doing this business. ”

Qi Ming said without thinking: "I'll take the risk myself, I'll crack six games first, and I'll bring them over after three days." ”

"How much can you give?" The boss surnamed Lu rubbed his fingers and counted the money.

Qi Ming smiled: "Look at me as a high school student, if you open your mouth, I really can't help it." It's a big deal that I don't do business, and I don't have much to lose. ”

"Tell me how much you can make?"

"I'll spend five hundred dollars at the most to crack six games first." Qi Ming touched his trouser pockets on both sides, "Boss, you have to know, I spent a lot of money just to buy these genuine games, but boss, you have the skills." What's more, you are still guarding the technology market, and you have the latest game in your hand, and you are still worried about not being able to sell it? ”

At this moment, the boss surnamed Lu finally understood the deep meaning of Qi Ming's words, this is not to bargain, this is to bleach.

Seeing that the boss was a little hesitant and hesitant, Qi Ming continued: "You spare me one more sentence." The games I provide are basically not available on the market.,That is to say, the domestic agents haven't gotten it yet.,And they haven't started to be Chinese.。 I got the cracked game myself and sold it out.,I'm sure I can't do it sloppily with sinicization.。 I'll just say this, the latter words are still not thorough, you are a smart person, you will definitely weigh the pros and cons yourself, not to mention that you are still an insider, you see the prospects of this business farther than me. Right? ”

What does it mean to be clever and eloquent? Even if Qi Ming's words didn't speak to the other party's heart, at least it made the other party feel that it was indeed profitable.

What's more,It's too tempting to sinicize alone.。

Take genuine games as an example, whether it is a console game or a PC game, the opposite technology market is shipped from Hong Kong, sack by sack from Luohu in the deep sea to the mainland.

As for cracking the game, the surname Lu himself is a senior moderator of 3DM, and he has a wide range of contacts in the forum, so cracking is not too rare for him.

But it's this sinicization.,Especially the games that have just been released abroad.,There's no sinicization at all.,Not even traditional Chinese.。

Later generations 3DM,Ranger Network and Nomad Starry Sky,For sinicization, it can be said that the competition is white-hot.。

At the beginning, I was willing to be artificially sinicized.,The pursuit of high-quality sinicized content.,But in the end, the competition between the three is becoming increasingly fierce.,It's simply a direct machine flip.,The content is even more uneven.。

These are all relatively profitable Sinicization groups.,Not counting those folk who generate electricity with love.,The Sinicization group organized simply because of love.。

The boss of the Internet said, "When did you bring the game?" ”

"Three days later. I'll take six first.,You help me export the text file, and I'll go to sinicization.。 When I'm done sinicizing,You guys try to crack it again.。 As for how much to burn, how much to sell. Then the two of us will have to cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing their magical powers. Qi Ming smiled confidently.

His confident smile seemed to the other party to be completely the conceit of a high school student who was not deeply involved in the world.

There are more than 20 computers in the computer room, and if each of them can be equipped with the latest games, how many customers will it have to attract?

This is not counting guarding the technology market opposite, as long as these cracking games appear, they are the source of cracking, and the sales prospect is too impressive.

"Then I'll wait for you for a few days, and then I'll invite a few friends from Dijing to crack your game. I hope you don't run the train with your mouth full, and then bring out dry goods. ”

"Well said, well said. The owner has a thriving business. Qi Ming smiled, didn't talk nonsense with the other party, turned around and immediately went to the computer room.

……

Early in the morning of the third day, Qi Ming came to the technology market alone. I found the small shop that assembled the computer, and naturally took six games from the boss.

"Outlander Requiem", "Rainbow Six", "Delta Special Forces", "Resident Evil 2", "Tomb Raider 3", "Allied Death Squads".

The six games filled the entire school bag, went on a trip to the Internet, and asked the boss surnamed Lu to export the text in these games.

With the exported game text, Qi Ming came directly to the family home of the Seventh Bureau of China Construction.

Standing at the bottom of the building on a hot day and rushing at the building of Fang Wenjin's house, it was called a sigh. There's no way, the contact in the era without a phone is really basically a roar.

After shouting a few times, the window of Fang Wenjin's house opened, and a shadow appeared by the window.

The long hair spread out wantonly, and it fluttered with the hot wind.

Fang Wenjin lived on the fourth floor, and said curiously: "Come up, stand downstairs, don't you think the sun is poisonous outside?" ”

Qi Ming ran to the fourth floor with a snort, Fang Wenjin was also at home alone, and opened the door to welcome Qi Ming into the house. As a result, someone stood at the door, without the slightest intention of going in: "Go, go out with me." ”

"It's so hot, I don't go out."

"Soda, please."

"That's not going either."

Seeing that this girl didn't enter, Qi Ming said, "You really don't plan to go out?" I remember some time ago, you asked me to rent a bookstore outside the school, and rented a few books for you, what are they called? Oh, by the way, "Stealing Joy Alone", "Red Sleeves" and "Drama Mandarin Ducks". At first, I didn't understand why you didn't go by yourself, but then I rolled my eyes a few times and saw what was inside...... Tsk tsk, I heard that Xi Juan's book is widely circulated among you girls. ”

Fang Wenjin was ashamed and angry, and was so angry that he stomped his feet at Qi Ming's threat, but he had no choice but to say angrily: "Qi Ming, you shut up for me!" ”

I was angry for a long time, but I found that there was nothing I could do about Qi Ming, so I could only hold back a sentence: "You wait at the door for me, and I'll go change my clothes." If you dare to tell others about my reading of idle books in the rental bookstore, I will tell Aunt Qi Bo Dai about your smoking at school. ”
