"Mr. Zhong, what is it, can you reveal it in advance?" Tang Zi couldn't wait to ask.

"Nothing bad to say...... The next thing we're going to do is the game engine! Zhong Zixing smiled, turned his head and said: "Sister Wu, the personnel department should pay attention to the talents who are interested in the game engine, and recruit me hard, and if I can't recruit them, I will dig them!" ”

"Hmm!" Wu Wanrou nodded coldly and began to take notes.

In the field of game engines, the financial requirements are acceptable, but the technical requirements are very high, the development is extremely difficult, and the possible results are not satisfactory.

When Zhong Zixing acquired Candle Dragon Information Technology, he mentioned that in order to make an epic online game, he must make his own game engine.

There is a game called Max Payne, which was developed by Monolith, which will be wholly acquired by Nintendo in the future, and the engine they use is called MAX-FX.

However, it took more than four years from Final Reality, the initial prototype of the engine, to the development of the final product, MAX-FX. The development of the LithTech engine took a full five years and cost $7 million.

Funding is secondary, it's time that matters!

No one knows if the engine you've been working on for a few years will be suitable for this market in a few years.

Of course, Monolith's investment and manpower are definitely not as much as Zhong Zixing's investment, and the technology cannot be compared, so this time will be greatly reduced, and the results will appear within a few months.

Developing a game engine is thankless, and there are many very useful engines on the market for people to choose from, but Zhong Zixing's ambitions obviously don't stop there.

Tengxun Group's revenue excluding advertising, value-added business in communication software, most of which comes from games, and Neutron Star Information Technology Company must make some revolutionary moves if it wants to surpass him in this regard.

For example, we have developed a super engine that is suitable for most games and surpasses all other engines on the market in terms of rendering, physics, collision detection, sound effects, etc.

And this self-developed super engine is connected to the Weibo game platform, and the Weibo game platform is open to all game developers.

If they want to develop better games, they naturally have to choose a better engine, and if they want to use the game engine of Neutron Star Information Technology, they must publish the developed games on the Weibo game platform.

Directly defeat Tengxun's game business from the root.

A plan is a plan, and whether it can succeed or not is another matter.

Once successful, Teng Xun will directly scrap half of it and completely lose the game market!

"Mr. Zhong, you have to take me with you when you develop a game engine!" Tang Ziqiang shouted, and he almost came up and hugged his thigh.

People who are obsessed with technology like to do this kind of challenging thing the most, and not letting him join is even worse than killing him.

"Alright, let's all go down and prepare! There's still a tough battle to fight tomorrow! Zhong Zixing said.

......

Morning, 1 February 2009.

Everyone in the company was waiting for it, staring closely at the dynamics of Tengxun Group, and the two companies of Wangyi and Sohu were directly ignored by them.

When it comes to user drainage, there is no stronger company in the world than Tengxun, including Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

People in China are scolding Tengxun's cancer while using their products, and they are never tired of it.

It's not that I don't want to abandon Teng Xun, but I can't do it at all, just look at the 3Q war, people who go online would rather choose to give up 360 browsers and antivirus software, rather than give up the buckle.

Not only is it because of the social connections that exist on the button, but also because all users have no other choice.

Tengxun has formed a monopoly in instant messaging, and you don't even know what to do when you go online.

And now, Neutron Star Information Technology is breaking that pattern.

Using Weibo as a platform to gather users and radiate and drain traffic to other fields, it will eventually form a giant that is also rooted in the social field.

Regarding the strategic vision, the company has made a stipulation that starting from the new year, it will not make products that other companies have done, and wants to invade other industries and use money to acquire.

To give all the domestic Internet industry a chance to compete fairly, we must not learn from Tengxun and stifle the creativity of all technical personnel.

Although after the 3Q war, Teng Xun chose an open platform and began to invest in other fields, his reputation is still difficult to reverse.

Zhong Zixing and several executives came to the technology department, silently waiting for the launch of Tengxun's Weibo, and then caught him off guard.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one spoke, until Tang Ziqiang broke the calm.

"Mr. Zhong, Tengxun Weibo is online, look!!"

"Open it and take a look!" Zhong Zixing stood up violently and looked at the computer.

What catches your eye is the same simple and clean interface as the Weibo of Neutron Star Information Technology Company, and the simple operation method, but it lacks a sense of science fiction and does not look so advanced.

"Made, this is too shameless, isn't it?" Miss Zheng Wen, the former art director of Candle Dragon Information Technology and the current executive of the art department of Neutron Star Information Technology, suddenly couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

Not to mention that the UI design is exactly the same, even the operation mode is exactly the same, only the background and border are slightly modified? Why don't you just move the original version over!

"Calm, don't you know Teng Xun's routine?" Zhong Zixing resisted the urge to scold.

The products that others have worked so hard to make are directly moved over, not to mention, and they don't even bother to make big changes, so how many people will be buried?

You copy someone else's stuff and rely on your huge user base to quickly promote it, and the people who actually make it become unpopular......

"No wonder they all call him a tumor, it makes so much sense!" Tang Ziqiang was furious.

Zhong Zixing calmed down and said: "Don't care, our Weibo is no longer a fledgling small software, it can withstand the wind and rain!" As long as new features are always opened, Teng Xun can only chase behind, and he will always be one step behind! ”

"Let's see how many people are on their Weibo!"

Tang Ziqiang swallowed the cursed words, "In twenty minutes, there are already 1 million registered users!" It is expected to go straight to 500-8 million today! ”

"Don't worry about this, most of the users of Tengxun Weibo overlap with our Neutron Star Weibo users, once they have run their own Weibo, it will be sticky, and it is difficult to put down another product!"

In order to increase the number of fans of Neutron Star Weibo, many people deliberately called their relatives, friends, and classmates, in short, it troubled many people, will it be repeated again?

Most people are attracted by the advertisements that appear on Tengxun's products such as spaces, pop-ups, portals, etc., and register with a curious mentality.

The freshness came back as soon as it passed.

What really reassures Zhong Zixing is the entry of universities, star groups, students, major enterprises, and news media, as long as these people do not turn to their arms, the status of Weibo cannot be shaken no matter what.
