Chapter 395 No one knows games better than me

The influx of foreign capital is the general trend.

Because one's own camp chose reform and opening up.

In other words, if the East wants to develop, it must go out.

Sell ​​your own products to North America, Europe, South America, Africa...

But in the process, if you sell things to others, they must also sell things to you, otherwise you will earn all the money and resources, and they will lose a lot?

Therefore, the greater the export volume of the East, the faster the influx of foreign capital.

It is like an international street on Daze North Road.

Last year, the length was less than 500 meters, and there were only a few scattered office buildings.

This year, it has been expanded to three kilometers, and there are many buildings on both sides, with foreign signs everywhere.

In this context, it is impossible for Xu Fei to use his official status to suppress the development of foreign companies, or even make small moves. Instead, he wants to support the other party and give certain preferential treatment.

Otherwise, a series of agreements on "Foreign Trade·Most Favored Nation Treatment" will be violated, constituting a breach of contract and breaking the rules.

In this way, to counteract foreign capital, private capital needs to take the lead, which is called economic marketization.

Because of this, they will reduce the market share of state-owned assets and make concessions for private capital.

The question is, can private capital really compete with foreign capital?

Xu Fei is familiar with foreign capital operations, and is not optimistic about his own private enterprises.

Just like the company acting as an agent of legend, he let the other party do publicity in the supply and marketing computer room, let the other party make pop-up windows in Souhu, let the other party implant the database app in the red flag system equipped on the smartphone, and even through the relationship with Modu, Help give tax cuts and support to the other party, and only hope that the other party can 'apply what they have learned', continue to accumulate experience in modifying works and operating games, and then launch 'cultural products' belonging to their own camp.

What now?

The other party secretly sold the company to Goldman Sachs. If the foreign exchange was not in our hands, maybe the boss had already donated money to North America and emigrated directly.

This is also the reason why Xu Fei would rather leave all the peripheral business of Daze Industry to the villagers and let the group of nouveau riche mess around rather than support outsiders.

After all, no one in the village dared to run away, otherwise the ancestral graves would be ruined by him.

After Xu Fei finished talking with his second sister, he walked to the red Founder's conference room, had someone deliver a brand new laptop and corporate electronic screen, and started working.

First install the Hongqi system, then log in to the personal account, and then click the icon of "floating cloud" in the middle of the five-pointed star. With the help of the dedicated CCC network, in less than 2 minutes, this laptop computer becomes a familiar personal page, and the inside is also downloaded. Previously used office software and materials.

If you don't want to use this computer, according to Director Xu's authority, log out of the account, and the hard disk and memory will be automatically destroyed.According to the authority of ordinary users, if you log out of the account, the data in the hardware will be automatically destroyed.

After you install the Hongqi system on other computers and log in to your personal account, the data will come back.

This is where the self-developed Hongqi system excels.

In other words, as long as you have a Hongqi system personal account, you can find your own information on another computer with Hongqi system installed without carrying any hardware.

Similarly, the Hongqi system can also set up N accounts, as long as the storage space is large enough, the number of accounts will increase.

This model has led to a rapid increase in the number of Internet users in the East. Having a Hongqi personal account is like registering for a QQ account.

Surfing the Internet is nothing more than browsing the web, surfing forums, listening to songs, watching movies, and playing games.

Therefore, the popularity of Legendary should be attributed to the Hongqi system, otherwise it would not necessarily have 500 million players if given five years.

Now that Goldman Sachs has acquired the agency rights of Legendary in the East, it means that Goldman Sachs will also take over Nanbang Company, which produces Legendary games.

After Goldman Sachs took over, according to the idea of ​​"making money", it will first turn this point card game into a free game, attracting more people who are unwilling to spend money or have no money in their hands, and then rely on the "payment" of the supply and marketing system. "Function", just like the game of Mechanical Three Kingdoms, starting to sell fashion and props...

According to the "Foreign Trade · Most Favored Nation Treatment" agreement, Xu Fei cannot use his official status to let the supply and marketing system kill the legend.

Therefore, some unconventional operations are required at this time.

First of all, I need a game that is compatible with legendary players and can attract more players.

"It's a little tricky."

Xu Fei logged into the 'Iron Game Platform', checked the PC game rankings, and then checked the mobile game rankings.

Thanks to the expansion pack, TEP Computer Service Company has produced many "future masterpieces" according to the description of the genius factory manager.

Such as 'Nail House vs. Demolition Team' (similar to Plants vs. Zombies).

Such as industrial style 'look who is lazy' (similar to finding fault)

For example, "Automobile Assembly Factory" (similar to Xiaoxiaole, but reverse operation, find parts and combine them together, from three-wheelers, four-wheelers, one-by-one assembly to aircraft carrier).

For example, "drive out of the parking lot" (the parking lot is full of vehicles, you need to start from the outside and move them out one by one, similar to a puzzle game).

With the increasing popularity of Daze Industrial Park and the increasing sales of power banks, smart phones and PC terminals, these games have already become popular all over the world.

If the smart phone launched by your company cannot carry the 'iron game platform', then your company has lost its competitiveness in the market.

It can be seen that buying a mobile phone is equal to buying a service, and playing with a mobile phone is equal to playing with ecology.

It's a pity that the development of large-scale games does not happen overnight.

In the past three years, in addition to the pixel game "Three Kingdoms", the card game "Three Kingdoms: The Lord Don't Panic", West Studio's Command and Conquer series, Old Walker's movie-level Call of Duty series, and many skin-changing works , So far, I have not been able to produce a serious large-scale rpg game.

Because the company is mainly engaged in 'industry', it has not paid much attention to software entertainment. Even TEP Computer Service Company, which is in charge of the computer field, is mainly engaged in projects such as 'network security', 'server leasing', and 'CCC network operation'.

Xu Fei thought for a moment, then approached an acquaintance in the industry information, and asked the other party to notify the relevant personnel in charge of reviewing the game, and go to the red Fangzheng for a meeting.

15 minute later.

Several buses drove into the Fangzheng parking lot, and a group of people rushed into the meeting room with small steps.

"Is there any game similar to Legend or Diablo recently, apply for a version number?"

"There is a swordsman."

"Oh?"

Needless to say, Xu Fei, the staff turned on the personal computer and found three games submitted by a company named Qianshanju.

One is Swordsman in 97, the other is Swordsman Gaiden Moon Shadow Legend in 01, and the other is the online version of Swordsman.

The last one is still under review. It is estimated that there is no hope this year, and it will not be released until next year.

Xu Fei asked the staff to contact Qianshanju, and asked them to start the server, and then update the beta client here, and log in to the game experience as a GM.

The story background design is very good, the picture style is also biased towards the national style, the operation method is slightly complicated, and the difficulty of getting started is not as good as that of Legend.

Overall, replacing legendaries is a bit difficult.

In addition, Wan Tao of Wanxin International has organized staff to produce 3D masterpieces with 'simulated computers' since the year before last, comparing the 'pictures' of the two, and how the characters of JX online version look like stickers.

It can't achieve the legendary "knife to meat" at all, and it can't show the boldness and passion of the children of the world (the swordsman was revised later, and it became popular).

"Yes, it's better than nothing."

Xu Fei took out his mobile phone with the idea that "my son" is his own, and planned to contact Qianshanju, give the other party a sum of money, and then support the other party's talents, and strive to make the game more refined.

However, another staff member took out the computer, "Director, what do you think of this game?"

Xu Fei heard the words, and followed the trend, "Qin Shang?"

"Yes, it has passed the review, and it may be available in July. It is a stand-alone machine, but it uses the Zigbee technology that connects to nearby players in LAN mode."

"I actually used the Zigbee network." (Power bank interconnection technology)

Xu Fei immediately walked to the laptop and operated the character to experience it.

The screen is similar to Diablo, and also similar to Legendary, but the character design is a bit small, the related values ​​are also very complicated, and the "five elements gameplay" has been added.

Very national style, but not suitable for commercialization.

Xu Fei recalled the setting of the legend, and then referred to the future game in the expansion, "Okay, you can go."

"Yes, director."

"It's almost Labor Day, each of you has a ticket for Kirov's round-the-world travel, go out and have fun."

"Thank you boss!"

"But this game I took over?"

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

After the other party left, Xu Fei turned on the intelligence system and searched for keywords.

The company that developed Qin Shang, called Target Software (Jingcheng), was established in 95 and is the earliest high-end entertainment and multimedia software development company in the East.

It's just that piracy is popular in the East, and the products of the East don't have much popularity and audience overseas. As a result, this company has never been able to develop, and even the registered capital of 420 million US dollars has not been subscribed.

After Xu Fei had seen it, he randomly selected an outstanding employee from the Daze labor dispatch company and asked him to buy a Kirov lottery ticket.

10 minute later.

The Kirov lottery, which has not drawn a lottery for half a year, has a super jackpot of 500 billion.

Let alone sensationalize the country.

The outstanding employee who won the lottery took the remaining 300 billion yuan after deducting the Daze social security fund with tax, took his father who was a manager in the workshop, and his mother who was a cashier in an accounting firm, and flew directly to the capital to talk to the target software. cooperate.

Under the operation of the capital, the two parties quickly reached a "shareholding" agreement, and outstanding employees became major shareholders.

Afterwards, according to the requirements of the 'factory director', the outstanding employees ordered Qin Shang to undergo drastic rectification.

What?No funds?

We have 200 billion!

What?No talent?

We have 200 billion!

What?No equipment?

We have 200 billion!

In less than three days, the target software company welcomed a large number of game developers, artists, and game operation teams from Wadao, Nanbangzi, and North America...

3 month 20 number.

The new Qin Shang development team decided to buy out a 3D game engine and change Qin Shang to a 3D game.

On March 3, Qin Shang's development team removed 25% of the game's settings and remade 80D stickers.

On April 4th, Qin Shang's brand new character model was released with the same style, and uploaded to the forum for netizens to taste. Unfortunately, the company is not well-known and only attracted four or five people to watch.

In the afternoon, Director Xu, who was doing nothing in the Phalanx Guest House, saw this game by accident. He was amazed and burst into tears, "How many years, how many years! The national style game that I have always wanted to play in my dreams has finally come out. "

In the evening, Director Xu, in his own name, quietly rewarded the target software with 5 million U.S. dollars to support the first martial arts work in the East.

4 month 12 number.

After receiving the "rewarded" target software, I decided to invite Director Xu to visit the company.

After receiving the news, Director Xu readily agreed and rushed to the building next door in only 3 minutes.

No, it was to go to the target software company.

The technicians showed the brand new online version of Qin Shang to Director Xu.

The biggest feature of this game is the 'simulation variable' commissioned by 'Osawa Industrial Design Company'.

Just like the rotation, friction, and damage of mechanical gears, Qin Shang's sword and gun will also make similar sounds when they collide, and change the state of the weapon.

Hence the term durability.

The second major feature of the game is the 'combination of movement and stillness'.

Such as splitting with a long knife.

When I raised the long knife, because I was exerting force, the speed was not fast, so the game changed to slow motion. When I chopped down, the long knife accelerated, and the game changed to fast motion.

If the opponent is a sword and shield player, he sees me raising my hand, and he has time to make a shield block, but when I see him block, because the power is over, he can't stop his movement, so he can only watch the long knife hit the shield superior.

This is called forward swing.

When the sword and shield hand is slashed with great force, the body will fall back, and it will be slashed and fly, unable to make other movements. This is called stiffness.

If the sword and shield hand is physically strong and can resist the slashing of the big knife without moving, this is called blocking + domineering body.

Therefore, Qin Shang, who joined the new gameplay, only retained his body, strength, and agility for the time being.

When the players are familiar with it, new professions will be opened in the future, such as Warlock, Mohist, etc., and then attributes such as intelligence, law, and will will be added.

In terms of equipment, all ancient equipment is used, from simple to complex, only two levels of gray and white are available for the time being.

The map introduces the seamless connection technology of Mechanical Three Kingdoms, as well as the gameplay of large and small secret realms.

In addition, in the plot, many folk stories fabricated by the Faculty of Letters of TEP University were referred to and designed into missions and secret places.

After Xu Fei experienced it, he put aside his satisfactory game and turned to study the market.

In the past month, he has not been idle.

First let the team of "Factory Manager's Legend Play" increase capital and expand production to 200 people.

Then let them take their pocket money, buy equipment everywhere, create a high-end account in each legendary server, and become a well-known player.

Then let them spend a lot of money to acquire the 'Woma Horn', create gangs, and absorb personnel.

By this time, Goldman Sachs had fully acquired this game that was hardly played in Nanbangzi but was very popular in the East.

Influenced by the market, for example, players spend money to buy equipment in private, players buy Woma horns in private, and players trade accounts in private.

In order to make money, Goldman Sachs invested a lot of money to imitate the "Trading Platform" of "Tinhide Entertainment" and launched a similar trading website.

At the same time, as Xu Fei guessed, Goldman Sachs began to change the legendary point card model to a free model, launching 100 sets of new servers in a row.

The related server must be rented by TEP computer service company.

Moreover, a regular server can accommodate up to 2000 game characters. If you want to accommodate more, you must go through the server upgrade procedure. The wealthy Goldman Sachs, attracted by the preferential package of TEP Computer Service Company, won 100 groups of servers in one go for ten years of use Rights, a total payment of 15 billion US dollars.

15 billion U.S. dollars, or about 122.25 billion red notes.

It seems a lot, but with the legend of 500 million players, plus the free mode that attracts more people, and the upcoming US and European servers, as long as Goldman Sachs operates for a period of time, it will push the company that holds the game to re-list and earn money. What comes back will be tens of billions of dollars.

Therefore, in order to build momentum for the legend, Goldman Sachs began to promote the new map, new boss, and new gameplay as early as April Fool's Day on April 4st.

At the same time, it merged Shengda Network in the East, Valmet in South Bangzi, and operating companies in North America and Europe, and made a plan to list on NASDAQ.

Xu Fei witnessed a series of operations of Goldman Sachs through the pet dog of the executive director of Goldman Sachs Group, and then contacted Romney who hadn't made any big moves recently and was staying in the governor's office of Massachusetts to keep healthy.

"Come to live!"

"Xu, you finally called me. The group of beggars on Wall Street actually said that I had washed my hands in a golden basin."

"Short the upcoming 'Goldman Sachs Network', how many and how much you short, and short the stocks, funds, futures, etc. invested by Goldman Sachs, this is up to you."

"Ok...But Goldman Sachs has been very stable, and their strength is also very strong. There has been no negative news recently. If we want to succeed, it is best to Boom the villas of several of their minority shareholders and get them involved in several disputes."

"Routine operation this time, don't worry, Xu's stock trading method will never misjudge."

"Yes!"

After Xu Fei finished his work, he checked the information again.

As of mid-April, Goldman Sachs had exchanged 4 billion dollars in red notes with the PBOC, equivalent to investing 20 billion dollars in the East.

On April 4, Goldman Sachs once again exchanged 16 billion US dollars for the listing of Shengda Network in Shanghai.

As the saying goes, the bigger the plate, the bigger the investment.

Soon, due to the short time for the point card model to be converted to a free model, and there was no fashion and other paid items for the time being, Shengda Network, which did not make a lot of money, ran out of operating funds, and Goldman Sachs was forced to exchange 2 million red notes for payment. Adaptation team and marketing team salaries.

Xu Fei counted the days and felt that it was about the same time. He contacted Qin Shang's development team and asked them to push the "Qin Shang online version" to the Eastern Supply and Marketing Computer Room through the CCC network.

A week later.

Goldman Sachs announced that the number of legendary player characters has exceeded 1.2 million, and the number of regular online characters has exceeded 1000 million, making it the epic game with the most players in the world.

On the same day, Goldman Sachs Network successfully landed on NASDAQ.

Affected by the popularity of the legend, no matter Wall Street, Japan Island Capital, or European capital, no one doubts that Goldman Sachs is capsized in the gutter, and they are all very optimistic about the 'Goldman Sachs Network'.

It's a pity that shareholders don't buy it.

Because stockholders who fled the stock market poured money into electrical appliances and cars, they temporarily had no money to speculate in stocks.

However, Goldman Sachs is looking at the Eastern stock market.

In other words, Eastern stockholders are rich.

This is also the main reason why Goldman Sachs insisted on entering the East, insisting on acquiring Legend, insisting on promoting the merger of 'Shengda Network' and Nanbangzi 'Valmet', and then listing and harvesting.

On April 4, the 'Goldman Sachs Network' was registered on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Although no one buys overseas stocks, Goldman Sachs Capital can use its own funds to create the illusion that overseas stock markets are booming.

And in the east, Goldman Sachs Internet listing will naturally rise all the way.

But right now.

More than 200 gangs that used to run rampant on various Legendary servers announced their disbandment overnight.

The news caused a sensation in the East and shocked Wall Street, which helped Goldman Sachs create a false impression and bought a large number of Goldman Sachs Internet stocks.
