The problem is not whether there is plagiarism between the two games, even if Liu Neng continues the operation cycle of the game "Three Kingdoms", this game will only be a niche game.

Board game card players are already niche in China, and "Three Kingdoms" can try to activate the pan-users of card board games.

Some people may be interested in board game cards, but because they haven't been exposed to it before, they don't know what they like. The role of "Three Kingdoms" is to pull these people into the circle.

That's all there is to it. Pan users and core users make up the player group of "Three Kingdoms", but the number of this group is far less exaggerated than it seems now. The registered users of "Three Kingdoms Kill OL" have now reached 1500W, but basically that's it.

Stuck in a bottleneck.

Pan users should have come in a long time ago, and many people who came in didn't like it very much, so they left, and generally won't come back. Parting is always sentimental, and the most sentimental thing is that you can't make any money. The theme of the Three Kingdoms is also promoted in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea at most, and even further away may be promoted. Therefore, these board game card users account for a very small proportion of the overall gamers, Liu can not say this number, but according to experience, it is only about three percent.

No matter how hard you try, "Three Kingdoms" will not become a national game. It is possible to organize some medium-sized leagues, but when you want to do professional competitions online, you will find that you can't organize them at all. Of course, "Hero Killing" came into the scene to disrupt the game, but this game is so big, no matter how much it is mixed, it is not of much use.

Therefore, the problem is not plagiarism between the two games at all, but the fact that the player's plate is so big, and it is unnecessary to fight for these players.

The competition of "Three Kingdoms" has some ornamentation, but it must be admitted that it is not very enjoyable. A very important reason why Liu Neng insisted on doing the competition before this was to lay a foundation.

But if you don't kill me, some disgusting methods will still be used.

For example, Liu Neng's announcement that has caused an uproar among the player community now.

It's just that when the players continued to discuss fiercely, Liu Neng was already in the capital. However, this time I didn't come to talk about cooperation with Hu Yuehai, but I was drinking green tea in a café with someone I had never met before.

The person in front of him was in his thirties, looking a little restrained, and the hair on the top of his head was slightly sparse, which seemed to be geek. His name is Zhou Zheng, and his name is unknown.

Liu Neng saw this person's information on a forum, and he said to himself that he was developing an open mobile platform modeled after iBal, and the demo has been completed. But the money has bottomed out and wants to look for investment. The post hung on the geek website for many days, and some people asked about the situation, but in the end, it didn't happen.

Zhou Zheng was originally disheartened and planned to seal the project and then go to Zheng'er Bajing to find a job. But a phone call pulled him back to the Hope Line, and a man claiming to be Liu Neng contacted him.

That's why we had this meeting. In the years that followed, when Liu Neng had already achieved fame, this simple meeting at a café was overshadowed by the admirers with a strong sense of sacredness.

After a brief introduction to each other, Zhou Zheng was surprised by Liu Neng's youth, but thinking that this was the first "future financier" to officially meet him, he still put away his contempt and took out his works for demonstration.

Prior to this, Zhou Zheng actually did some research on the name "Liu Neng". Geek's methods are a little different from ordinary people's human flesh, and they are able to see more of the truth hidden beyond the surface.

But the truth he saw made him even more puzzled, this twenty-three-year-old man didn't seem to have much to pay attention to in the first half of his life. All the changes seem to have happened in the last year, from falling out with the supervisor, to being suppressed, from participating in creative competitions, to creating your own game studio; Interestingly, some of the interesting developments he is doing now coincide with some of Zhou Zheng's ideas.

For example, an open, low-level, platform-based, game engine; It is very similar to the open, operating system-level, platform-based, mobile device operating system that he advocates.

This is one of the reasons why he is most interested in Liu Neng. In Zhou Zheng's view, technology should be shared, which is the spirit of geek. However, a high-profile, celebrity-a-romant, game-playing (frivolous) boss is one of the reasons why he feels less reliable.

Five buckets of rice to press the waist is a very real problem, which is also the most fundamental reason why two people can sit face to face.

After watching the demonstration, Liu Neng put forward a few comments:

1. More people need to complete the development together;

2. After the development is completed, it is necessary to form a broader alliance, preferably with mobile phone manufacturers, so as to ensure the ecology;

3. It is not open enough, and the source code needs to be completely open;

4. A centralized application store is necessary, and the source code is completely public, so that the people who make the application can understand the cost is lower;

5. There should be some better operating habits, which should be for mobile devices.

After listening to these points, Zhou Zheng's perception of Liu Neng skyrocketed. Probably due to the programmer's poor words, he finally weakly asked, "If you were to invest, how much would you be able to invest?" ”

"Investment?" Liu Neng shook his head, "I'm not interested, I would prefer to be wholly owned." I will achieve your personal financial freedom and set up a company or studio with you to take the lead and continue to develop the project. ”

Such domineering remarks directly made Zhou Zheng stunned for several seconds, "Can you talk about it specifically, how much capital can be injected to form the company?" ”

Liu Neng, who leaned back tactically, directly gave Zhou Zheng an answer that he couldn't refuse, "You can decide the price." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, still digesting the answer, but Liu Neng continued, "I believe you should have investigated me before meeting." I can't compare with the bosses of those big companies for the time being, but at least the profitability of our games is good, I can completely overdraft a year's income to inject funds, and if there is still a need in the future, I can continue to invest in them. The point is that this project is going to happen. ”

Finally, Zhou Zheng was moved by Liu Neng and nodded to accept the acquisition. The formal signing of the contract will wait for him to move to Shanghai, and the details of the contract will need to be redrawn by two people.

Many years later, Zhou Zheng once asked him, "Why did you support this project so resolutely in the first place, the probability of success is too small, and the probability of failure is too great." ”

Liu Neng said in a tone that seemed to be a serious but serious one, "I really don't look down on the foreigners who used the computer operating system to harvest a wave of leeks and use their mobile phones to harvest a wave of leeks again." Anyway, it's all about making money, so why can't we just stand and make money ourselves? ”
