The richest man

Chapter 264 Game Revolution! ! !

In March 2006, spring was in full bloom, and the legendary town was full of birds and flowers, and it was full of vitality.

Zhang Jun and his senior team are playing football on the field.

Even though Zhang Jun is over 50 years old, he is still growing strong. Even the young men in the company can’t beat him in playing football. Once the company organized a race, and Zhang Jun also participated in it. As a result, the young male employee who was a physical education teacher was far behind him~
"I'm old and useless. I started to feel tired after playing for more than ten minutes!" Zhang Jun took the handkerchief handed over by the secretary, wiped the sweat off his face, and sighed.

"Boss, I see those players in the national football team. After more than ten minutes of intense exercise, their physical strength is not as good as yours!" The female secretary said with a smile.

Shangguan Muye and the others played for more than ten minutes, and then went off to rest one after another.

In the lounge, Zhang Jun, Shangguan Muye and the others were resting and chatting.

At this time, the staff brought a flat square box, disassembled it, and took out the latest home game console developed by Legendary Technology Company - the Kunlun Wii somatosensory game console.

Zhang Jun smiled and said to everyone: "The Kunlun Wii has arrived, and everyone has tried it. The emergence of the Kunlun Wii is a major revolution in the game industry, that is, the somatosensory game revolution, which allows users to play games in the virtual world while letting their bodies Really 'move'! The concept of somatosensory games has made the game industry break through the bottleneck of decades of invariable game methods. The emergence of somatosensory games has also blurred the boundaries between players and non-players. As a popular culture recognized by non-gamers, Can greatly expand the user base!"

"The game we're about to play right now is called Wii Sports. The game includes five sports simulation games, mainly to show new players the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii game console. The sports include tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and Boxing. Players can use the Wii handle to make actions similar to real-life sports, such as swinging a tennis racket, throwing a bowling ball, etc. The rules of each sports game are simplified to make it easy for new players to learn... "

After all, Zhang Jun and a group of bigwigs started to play Kunlun Wii in the lounge. Not far away, the staff took a video camera to film the scene of everyone playing the game.

In the evening, Zhang Jun posted this video on Facebook, Weibo and Twitter, and attached a sentence: "Kunlun Wii is a lot of fun, suitable for all ages, really fun!!!"

Zhang Jun has a lot of fans on Laishu, Weibo, and Twitter. As soon as he updates his status, many people immediately watch, click, comment, and even forward it.

"Oh shit, is this the latest product of Legendary Technology Company? Somatosensory games? What a fucking blockbuster, the Kunlun Wii can even be used as a fitness device! A fat house like mine needs such a game console!!! Please post the link, I want to buy it!"

"Boss, it's very interesting to play Kunlun Wii. The bigwigs from Legendary Technology have a good standard of swing with the Wii controller. It looks like they have practiced it. What, I just want to ask, this game When will the machine be released, I can't wait!"

"Oh, oh, the competition in the home game console industry is becoming more and more fierce. Kunlun Wii has created a new way to create a somatosensory game revolution. Legend Technology is indeed the industry leader and has been leading the trend of the times!!!"

"..."

The news sent by Zhang Jun caused a thousand waves of shock with one stone!

The official website of Legend Technology Company immediately released a message on the Internet saying: "Legend Technology Company will release the Kunlun Wii somatosensory game console NO.15 in March!"

The game fans of Legendary Technology Company cheered, and the competitors all looked ugly. They hurriedly held an emergency meeting to discuss the development of motion-sensing game consoles.

On March 3th, the online live broadcast of the product launch event had more than 15 million viewers.

At the press conference, Zhang Jun first introduced the hardware configuration of Kunlun Wii to everyone, and then demonstrated the gameplay of Kunlun Wii again. The audience applauded continuously. It can be seen that everyone likes Kunlun Wii very much.

As soon as the press conference ended, Amazon, eBay, Taobao, Qunar and other platforms opened up online purchase channels.

Kunlun Wii is priced at $399, including the game software "Wii Sports".

The price is a little bit expensive, but it is difficult to suppress the urge of countless players to buy it.

On the same day, the online pre-sale of Kunlun Wii totaled 524 million units.

The next day, the Kunlun Wii was also put on the shelves in the legendary store, and there was an endless stream of people queuing up to buy the Kunlun Wii.

Kunlun Wii once again overwhelmed other home game consoles, becoming the most popular game console in the market, and also the fastest-selling game console in the history of Legend Technology.

Kunlun Wii has swept the world, brought huge returns to Legendary Technology, and once again consolidated Legendary Technology's dominance in the game field.

……

……

At the beginning of May, Kunlun Wii sold 1500 million units, which caused a sensation in the world!
The net profit of a Kunlun Wii is as high as 200 US dollars, which can be called huge profits.

In one year, Kunlun Wii sales may exceed [-] million.

In addition, many games have been sold on the Kunlun Wii game console platform, and Legend Technology can continue to rely on selling games to make money.

Seeing that the legendary technology company's ability to attract money is so strong, all the media were stunned.

"It is conservatively estimated that the annual profit of Legend Technology Company is at least 600 billion U.S. dollars!" The editor-in-chief of a financial newspaper in the United States released his inference on Twitter after investigating the information of Legend Technology Company in detail.

As a result, the editor-in-chief became popular, and countless people retweeted his Twitter.

"I know that Legendary Technology is the most profitable company in the world, but I didn't expect it to make so much money. It earns 600 billion US dollars a year. I can't believe this concept. My annual salary is only [-] to [-] US dollars. !"

"It's really rich, 600 billion US dollars, my God, I can't describe my mood at this moment in words. My current mood is complicated, and I have the idea of ​​robbing Zhang Jun!"

"Brother, before robbing, you should first understand Blackwater International! After you understand it, you won't have such thoughts!"

"..."

Legendary Technology's ability to make money is too strong, even if Zhang Jun wants to cover it up, but others are not fools, and many things can be deduced.

……

"Boss, in this situation, should we release "World of Warcraft", "Dungeon and Fighter DNF" and "Crossfire FC"?" Tian Hongzhuo, the PC game director of Legendary Technology, couldn't help asking.

"Fat! There's no reason not to do things to make money! Everything is done according to the original plan!" Zhang Jun said without hesitation.

"Okay, boss, then I'll arrange it."

After Tian Hongzhuo left, Zhang Jun rubbed his temples, he was hated for making too much money, as the saying goes, "A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it".

Zhang Jun is also very helpless now, he is too good, what can he do?
Zhang Jun shook his head, too lazy to think, he got up and walked outside, and then came to a laboratory."Legendary Technology AI Department" is written on the door of the laboratory building.

In order to create the world's most advanced AI artificial intelligence, Legend Technology's investment in research and development is difficult for other companies.

Supercomputers, data centers, big data, search engines, etc. are all serving AI.

"Boss, you're here!" Leng Zian, director of the AI ​​laboratory, saw Zhang Jun, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Dr. Leng, have you developed what I need?" Zhang Jun asked.

Dr. Leng Zian replied: "The ultimate goal of our laboratory is to develop a real AI artificial intelligence. The thing you want is not difficult and has already been developed. With the improvement of AI artificial intelligence technology in the future, its capabilities will also increase." Become stronger! Boss, please come with me, I'll let someone demonstrate it to you!"

"Ok!"

Not long after, Leng Zian asked someone to bring a device similar to a tablet computer, but because it was a laboratory product, he didn't pay much attention to the shape design.

After Leng Zian activated the device, he suddenly said, "Hey, Siri."

The device makes a "ding" sound, a colorful flowing circle appears at the bottom of the screen, and then a voice: "Hello, can I help you with something?"

"Open iTunes music player!"

"Open word file!"

"Open the Amazon website!"

"Open the Fruit Ninja game!"

"..."

Leng Zian conducted many tests, all of which were successful.

That's right, the product developed by Zhang Jun to Dr. Leng Zi'an is siri.

"Boss, what do you think of this thing?"

"Well, not bad! I'm very satisfied!" Zhang Jun nodded.

"Boss, since you are satisfied, can you increase your investment in the AI ​​department?" Dr. Leng Zian said with a smile.

"Uh, I know, I will, don't worry, I attach more importance to AI than you can imagine!"

AI wants to break through, not only in software, but also in hardware.

The team led by Dr. Leng Zian and others is mainly engaged in the algorithm development of AI software.

When Zhang Jun left the laboratory, he had some thoughts in his mind. The speech recognition technology of Legendary Technology Company is already ahead of the world. Perhaps a speech translator can be developed, so that he can travel all over the world without fear...

Now that siri has been successfully developed, Zhang Jun immediately notified Jobs to ask the iPhone development team to add this function.

After seeing the power of Siri, Jobs was shocked and danced excitedly, showing admiration on his face.

"Boss, this Siri is too powerful, and your idea is very genius! I think that when we launch Siri, there will be countless people cheering and screaming for it!!!"

"This is natural! We launched the iPhone 1 Pro last year, just to enhance the performance of the mobile phone and increase the screen size. If we talk about breakthrough product technology, there is no such thing. But this year we have siri and a three-axis gyroscope. The iPhone 2 must be It will be more popular than the iPhone 1!" Zhang Jun smiled secretly, patted Jobs on the shoulder and said, and then left.

……

……

The outside world's discussion of legendary technology has gradually decreased over time.

In fact, although Legendary Technology Company makes more money, it also has a lot of expenses, especially a lot of R&D investment, which costs a lot.

Therefore, Zhang Jun is still trying to make more money.

Recently, Legend Technology has successively launched new games "Dungeon and Fighter" and "Cross Fire".

In the previous life, the three giants of Chinese online games were "League of Legends", "Dungeon and Fighter", and "Cross Fire".

Even if the latter two games are not very popular in Europe and the United States, the Chinese market alone is enough to make a lot of money.

After the launch of "Dungeon and Warriors" and "Cross Fire", it naturally set off a game boom in China very quickly.

In the Internet cafe, nearly two-thirds of the players are playing "Dungeon and Fighter", "Cross Fire" and "Legend of Blood".

Netease Ding Sanshi walked into an Internet cafe and saw many players playing "Dungeon and Warrior" and "Cross Fire", he couldn't help feeling: "Legendary Technology Company can always develop games that players like. I admire it!"

"Indeed, this is amazing. Legendary Technology has occupied the throne of the game overlord for more than 20 years, and the games developed during this period rarely lose money." Colleagues around Ding Sanshi also sighed.

With the release of "Dungeon and Fighter" and "Cross Fire", many game developer bosses did not hesitate to visit Internet cafes in person.NetEase is looking for transformation and has been making games for several years. Because "Fantasy Westward Journey" was snatched away by the legendary technology company, the current situation of NetEase is far worse than that of the previous life.

"Boss, I think that in the field of PC games, it may be difficult for any company to compete with Legendary Technology, so we might as well develop mobile games. With the popularity of smartphones, the market for mobile games is getting bigger and bigger. Legendary Technology companies are not in a monopoly position in the mobile game market. Many mobile game developers have emerged and made a lot of money in the mobile game market. If NetEase wants to seek a breakthrough, it must invest heavily in mobile games!!!” NetEase game development department The director's tone was very firm.

Ding Sanshi sighed: "Well, let's enter the mobile game market. We really can't compete with Legendary Technology in the PC game market."

After finishing speaking, Ding Sanshi couldn't help feeling lingering in his heart, and secretly said, "If you fail in making mobile games, you might as well raise pigs yourself. I like raising pigs anyway."

NetEase was listed on Nasdaq in 2000, and Ding Sanshi has already achieved financial freedom.

Raising pigs is pretty good~
When Ding Sanshi and others returned to the company, they immediately changed the company's development plan and vigorously entered the mobile game market.

In fact, Legendary Technology also attaches great importance to the mobile game market, but the mobile games that Legendary Technology wants to develop are relatively difficult and take a long time to develop, so only a small number of games have been released for the time being.

There are a total of 6 mobile games that Legend Technology is focusing on developing: "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite", "Yuan Shen", "World of Warcraft", "Pokémon GO", and "Fantasy Westward Journey".

The mobile game market is far larger than the PC market, and even the legendary technology company cannot eat it all.

And the speed of the mobile game market is also very fast.

In fact, Zhang Jun is more interested in virtual reality games.

Legendary Technology has invested heavily in the development of this virtual reality game.

Zhang Jun even proposed the concept of "Metaverse", but the news did not spread.
