my return 2002

Chapter 192 Anti-addiction

A few days later, Shen Lang came to the meeting place, and just stood at the door when he bumped into an acquaintance.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, long time no see." Ding Sanshi came over to say hello warmly.

NetDragon Technology owns Ding Sanshi’s shares, and now NetEase’s game point card online transactions rely on Shen Lang’s Internet cafe management software. Of course, the main reason is that NetEase’s Fantasy Westward Journey is a Q-version turn-based game, which is different from Inspur Technology. direct competition.

"Boss Ding, long time no see, you look pretty good." Shen Lang teased.

In the past two years, Ding Sanshi has been absolutely triumphant. NetEase's stock price has risen from US$0.6 when trading was suspended to tens of US dollars. He has also risen from the brink of bankruptcy to the richest man in the mainland.

Ding Sanshi smiled wryly: "Mr. Shen, don't make fun of me. Who is not worried about this recent incident?"

Speaking of this topic is too heavy, and I have no intention of joking.

The two stopped talking and walked into the venue. There were already many game company bosses and CEOs inside. The snail's Shi Hai stood up and waved to Shen Lang, which was regarded as a greeting, but his face was not good-looking. No wonder, seeing that the Voyage Century of Snail research and development is almost completed, if it is put on hold due to policy issues, all the previous efforts of Snail will be in vain, or he will go bankrupt directly.

Ding Sanshi's popularity in the circle is not bad, and there are many people who know him, so he was quickly surrounded, while Shen Lang was ignored by no one, who made him so tender, those who didn't know thought it was a stunned young man or a secretary flow.

Shen Lang was also happy to be at leisure, so he simply sat next to Shi Hai, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, there are so many game companies here, with an annual output value of billions, and the top should not be one size fits all."

"I hope so." Shi Hai smiled bitterly at Shen Lang, his expression still tangled.

Shen Lang didn't say anything else, and started to close his eyes to meditate. After a while, he heard that the venue was getting lively. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that Chen Tianqiao had come.

As the well-deserved No. 1 in the game industry, Chen Tianqiao is still very appealing. The bosses of various game companies came forward to say hello, and Chen Tianqiao also greeted them very politely.

Then a very interesting phenomenon appeared, a group of people sat around Ding Sanshi, and a large group of people sat around Chen Tianqiao, Shen Lang's side seemed very deserted, just him and Shi Hai.

Not long after Chen Tianqiao came in, Zhu Jun also arrived, and when he saw Shen Lang, he walked over directly.

Seeing Zhu Jun greeting Shen Lang familiarly, some people began to guess Shen Lang's identity.

"Who is this person? I haven't seen it before."

"I don't know, could it be from a small studio?"

"I'll go. What are you looking at? That's Shen Lang, the boss of Inspur Technology."

"What? He is Shen Lang? Isn't this too young?"

"That's not right, Old Wang, didn't you say that Shen Lang invited you to dinner when you went to NetDragon to talk about point card agency last time, why didn't you recognize it just now?"

"Ahem, I'm short-sighted."

After someone recognized Shen Lang's identity, some people came to say hello to Shen Lang one after another, and some even sat directly beside Shen Lang.

Gradually, three camps appeared in the venue. Although there were few people on Shen Lang's side, there were Inspur Technology and Ninetowns, who were the strongest. Ding Sanshi had a medium number of people, and there were top five companies in the industry like Guangtong. Chen Tianqiao had the largest number of people, but they were all small companies, and Chen Tianqiao was surrounded by stars.

Of course, there are also some people who are not so gregarious and sit far away from the crowd. Among them, Shen Lang knows Perfect’s boss Chi Yufeng. More are the bosses of Hong En Education.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the gate of the venue was closed and the "national team" entered.

The standard of this meeting is still very high, not only the Ministry of Information, but also the Ministry of Education, the General Administration of Press and Publication, etc., a total of eight departments attended.

A leader of the information department was the first to speak: "I called everyone together for this meeting today. The main reason is the current chaos in the online game market and the adverse effects it has caused. You are all leading companies in the game industry. What do you want to say? Yes, you can talk freely today."

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly seemed a little dull, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be this early bird.

Before the bosses of the game company here spoke, a leader of the Ministry of Education spoke.

"I think the poison of online games to young people is too serious. Look at the children today. Many of them have been addicted to online games since elementary school. If things go on like this, how can the country revitalize? Education is the foundation of everything. I propose to ban it directly. Online game!"

As soon as this person spoke, there was an uproar in the venue. The bosses of the game company couldn't sit still, and began to discuss in a hurry. They all stared at this person who spoke with angry eyes. If eyes can kill people, probably This one has already been chopped into pieces.

"Cough cough, be quiet, everyone has something to say, come one by one." The leader of the information department who presided over the meeting said.

Shi Hai, who was sitting next to Shen Lang, couldn't sit still, and stood up all of a sudden.

"Leaders, I admit that online games have indeed had some bad effects, but if you look at the world, which developed country does not have online games? Why don't they worry that games will affect education? Isn't this the fault of our domestic education itself? Question? Why put the blame entirely on kids and games?"

"Okay, well said!"

The words made the person from the Ministry of Education pointing at Shi Hai speechless for a long time, and the bosses of the game company also applauded.

For a while, the atmosphere on the scene was tense.

The leaders of the Ministry of Information immediately began to smooth things over: "The national conditions are different. What we are discussing now is not foreign countries. We should look at the problem according to the basic situation in the mainland. It is a fact that young people are addicted to the Internet. We are meeting this time to discuss solutions. It is not for everyone to attack each other, please correct your mentality."

Shen Lang also pulled Shi Hai to sit down, and shook his head at him. Fierce confrontation would only make things worse. An egg can never touch a rock.

A leader of the public security department said at this time: "According to our recent statistics, from 2001 to 2003, all kinds of bad public security incidents caused by online games have shown a rapid increase every year. What do they do when they hang out in Internet cafes and have no money to go online? To steal, to rob, many of them are underage, these are real cases.”

There was a sudden silence in the venue. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that games do have a great impact on young people, so there are not a few who are addicted.

For a while, many people present turned their attention to Chen Tianqiao, who made Shanda the leader in the industry, and this incident was also caused by Shanda.

Seeing this, Chen Tianqiao could only stand up bravely: "I don't think this problem can be completely attributed to online games, right? What we provide is just a form of entertainment, which is no different from the previous skating rink and KVT. Players should also have the ability to distinguish reality. The ability between illusion and illusion."

"Take this Shanda player's rights protection incident as an example. Did Shanda do something wrong? His game equipment was indeed obtained through illegal means such as cheating. We delete the illegally obtained equipment, which is to protect Shanda's rights and interests. , It is also protecting the rights and interests of the majority of players, and rights protection can be done through formal means, you can go to the court to sue, if this is the case, as long as someone comes to make trouble, we will compromise, what is the rule of law?"

"That's right, if something goes wrong, blame us for everything."

The leader of the education department gritted his teeth just now and said: "But many of your players are still children, they have enough discrimination and not enough self-control, and you game companies are taking advantage of this to make huge profits!

As he said this, he glanced at him and said sharply: "I heard that the most popular game on the market is called Jian Yu Jiang Hu, and the number of online users has exceeded 120 million at the same time. How many of these players are underage children? ?”

For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on Shen Lang, and Chen Tianqiao also took the opportunity to sit down, and even felt a little gloating in his heart. Before, the eyes of the superiors always fell on him, and now someone finally helped him share the burden. .

Shen Lang cursed inwardly, it's really a person sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky.

Shen Lang stood up slowly, all the leaders on the stage were amazed at his youth, they whispered to each other, as if confirming Shen Lang's identity.

"Leaders, fellow colleagues, I have been listening and thinking just now. In fact, the current point of contention is nothing more than the issue of minors playing games, right?" Shen Lang said lightly.

"Well, this is not a small problem." The leader of the education department said solemnly.

Shen Lang nodded: "That's right, education is no small matter, but shouldn't we also think about a question, if all of us local game manufacturers are killed with one shot, will no one play games?"

This questioned the leaders of various departments present. Before online games, video games existed for many years. developed into what it is today.

Shen Lang continued: "Players will still try their best to play games. Japanese servers, Korean servers, and American servers, as long as players want to, they will definitely be able to play. At that time, the money will be made by foreign game manufacturers. The problem is still It has not been resolved. Our mainland game manufacturers have already fallen too far behind. Many game companies do not even have the ability to independently develop a game. They can only represent games from other countries. If we are all killed now, we will think about it later. How much time will it take to develop the game industry? How much money, material and manpower will be spent?"

"That's right, it's pain for loved ones and quick for enemies. Those foreign game makers are eager for us to go bankrupt."

"I said, why are all the negative news about us recently, and the co-authors are all foreign game manufacturers behind the scenes."

While Shen Lang's words filled many game company bosses with righteous indignation, unknowingly, the interests of all game companies were linked together.

Chen Tianqiao was a little annoyed, especially the sentence about not having independent research and development capabilities, which seemed to be mocking him no matter what. Although Legendary World claimed that it was independent research and development, in fact, everyone knew that it was just copied from Legendary's code. Just made some upgrades on the screen.

Zhu Jun glared at Shen Lang fiercely when he heard the words, isn't this clearly talking about Jiucheng.

The leaders present also fell silent when they heard the words, but the leaders of the education department still did not buy it.

"No matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the fact that online games are poisoning young people!"

Shen Lang smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet."

"As I said just now, the focus of everyone's debate is nothing more than minors' addiction to games. If this is the case, can we solve this problem by building an anti-addiction system?"

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, the leaders on the stage started discussing one after another, and someone asked directly.

"Mr. Shen, how do you plan to operate the anti-addiction system you mentioned?"

Shen Lang glanced at the boss of the game company present: "It's actually very simple. Our game company can build an identity verification system. Once the identity verification cannot be passed or the ID card shows that the player is not full, after a certain period of time online, the game revenue will be reduced. Half, no benefit, or even direct disconnection.”

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, some game company bosses at the scene immediately expressed their opposition.

"Our company is not capable of designing such a complex system."

"That's right, developing a game is a huge expense."

Shen Lang said lightly: "If you believe me, this anti-addiction system can be developed by our Inspur Technology, and it will be free for everyone to use."

"Mr. Shen, you are free for how long?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Of course it's free forever."

"Forever free? Boss Shen is so generous!"

"Mr. Shen, is it really free forever? Then I agree."

Immediately, the scene became lively. When he heard that he could use it for free without developing it himself, the boss of the game company immediately regarded Shen Lang as a living bodhisattva.

Seeing this, Chen Tianqiao immediately stood up and said loudly, "Our Shanda can also develop it for everyone to use for free."

However, in the middle of this uproar, the leaders of the Ministry of Education once again sang the opposite tune.

"No, I don't agree. This kind of anti-addiction is like a fake. There are still a lot of minors playing games every day."

For a while, the bosses of all the game companies glared at him, smashing people's jobs is like killing their parents. Originally, the anti-addiction system proposed by Shen Lang has already affected everyone's income, but everyone knows that it has to be done now. Only by making concessions can we survive, so we reluctantly agree.

Who knows, this one is still not forgiving.

There was another tumultuous debate, and finally the meeting was called off, but everyone could tell that the leaders of other departments recognized Shen Lang's anti-addiction system.

Sure enough, from the second day on, the meeting began to repeatedly pull around the specific rules of anti-addiction.

Shen Lang, Zhu Jun, and Shi Hai departed from the capital on the same flight, and the three of them looked at each other at the airport, feeling lucky that they survived the catastrophe.
