Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

Ye Yunzhou returned to his CEO’s office, ready to think about which game to “copy”.

After a while, technical director Xu Liuyang knocked on the door and came in.

“CEO, you’re looking for me?”

“Hey, Liuyang, sit down.”

After Xu Liuyang sat down, Ye Yunzhou asked, “How is the market feedback after Facebook updated its functions?”

“The market response is very good, especially the student group. Among the groups we surveyed, they basically all gave high scores to this Facebook update.”

“Very good, although you are specialized in technology, you must keep in touch with Xu Lei and the marketing department at all times, always pay attention to the market response, and optimize the Facebook functions according to the market response.”

After listening, Xu Liuyang immediately wrote down Ye Yunzhou’s request.

“By the way, the game engine I wrote recently has been completed, and Lu Ming from Hahayou Game Studio will take the lead in the final testing. You need to help keep an eye on this matter. We will start game development next.”

“Okay, President.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

After Xu Liuyang left, Ye Yunzhou began to check the current game industry on the Internet.

According to relevant institutions, the scale of the game market in Daxia this year will exceed 2 billion RMB, and the game market in Daxia will grow exponentially in the next few years.

The most profitable online game in Daxia is “Legend”, which is a large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game developed by South Korea and operated by Shanda Network in Xiaguo. This game is not only very popular in Daxia, but also has many loyal players abroad. Ye Yunzhou played it in his previous life, but he didn’t play games much after he was reborn, especially this kind of online game.

The second largest domestic revenue game is also a game developed by a Korean company, called “Bubble Hall”. This game is also a game introduced and operated by Shanda. It is no exaggeration to say that Shanda has made a lot of money in China by introducing these two games from South Korea.

Of course, games like “Westward Journey Online 2” and “Fantasy Westward Journey” are also very popular.

In the European and American markets, the most popular game is a sports game called “Madden NFL 2004”, produced by EA Sports. The success of this game is not only due to its excellent game quality, but also due to the wide audience base of rugby in Europe and the United States. Ye Yunzhou knows that this game will win this year’s “Game of the Year” award.

Of course, Nintendo’s classic game “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” is also very popular. The revenue of this game exceeds that of “Madden NFL 2004” and is one of Nintendo’s most profitable games.

What are the popular games that will be launched next year, that is, in 2004?

Well, it seems that “Legend of the Swordsman” and “MapleStory” are very popular in China, but these games have been developed by others and cannot be copied for the time being.

The most popular game abroad is of course “World of Warcraft”. This game is simply a money printing machine for Blizzard. Even in 2024 before Ye Yunzhou’s rebirth, it is still one of the most popular large-scale online games.

Well, no, “Hot Blooded Jianghu” seems to have been launched in 2005, which means that this game has just started to be developed. If I develop it in advance, I will cut off the luck of some Korean game companies. Hahaha, okay, let’s do it. Moreover, Ye Yunzhou has played this game in his previous life. Its character setting and trading system are well done.

Well, this game is copied.

In addition to this game, there is another dance game “Audition” that will be very popular in the next few years. The prototype of the game is similar to the online dance machine. Follow the beat of the music and tap the corresponding arrows displayed on the screen on the keyboard. After completing the action, the virtual character in the game will dance different dance moves. The game uses a virtual cash system to sell the costumes, expressions, accessories, etc. of the virtual characters. It also provides some functional props, but most of the props need to be purchased with cash.

The most important thing is that this game will become the first batch of online game products suitable for minors approved by the Ministry of Culture of Daxia. It seems that this game must be copied. However, the most difficult part of this game is the game music, which requires enough music authorization.

Regardless, I’ll list it as one of the games to be copied.

Well, besides these two games, what other games will be popular in the next few years?

Oh, by the way, if the adventure game “Titan Quest” that I played before my rebirth could be developed before 2005, it might be able to compete with Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft”.

The game world is mainly based on the areas around the Mediterranean, including ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient China, Macedonia, Crete, Egypt, Persia, Babylon and other regions. The main purpose of the player in the game is to find the instructions left by the legendary god of the earth, “Titan”.Ring.

Well, we can add more elements of Xiaguo at that time. If it can be promoted globally, it can be regarded as cultural output. It seems that this game will also be included in the list of games to be copied.

Just as Ye Yunzhou was planning which games to copy in the office of Alphabet Company, the headquarters of Tencent in Shenzhen City was already busy.

“Pony, Facebook has updated too many functions this time. If we want to copy their functions, it will take at least two weeks.” The person in charge of the campus network project said to Ma Teng in frustration.

Because Facebook chose to update the new functions on Saturday, most of the company’s employees have been on vacation, and only a few people are on duty. Last night, as soon as Facebook updated the new functions, the person in charge of the campus network took several core technical personnel to study overnight. The result of the research is that it can be copied, but it takes enough time.

“Jeff, how is the recent feedback on our campus network? Recently, the voices discussing our plagiarism have become louder and louder online. Our investors have called me and asked us to control it and eliminate the impact so as not to affect the listing next year.”

Jeff’s Chinese name is Wu Guang. He is one of the co-founders of Tencent and is currently responsible for the marketing-related business of Tencent.

“Pony, in general, the growth rate of campus network is faster than that of QQ when we launched it. However, due to the fact that Alphabet has been promoting negative information about our plagiarism on the Internet, and they have been promoting the lawsuit against us, our reputation among users is not very good. If it weren’t for our good marketing, we would have difficulty competing with Facebook.”

Campus network’s current marketing has a lot of color, which is strictly prohibited by Ye Yunzhou. However, this kind of color marketing is indeed effective. The number of users of campus network has exceeded one million after just over a week of launch.

Ma Teng frowned and continued to ask: “Jeff, how is the user response to Facebook’s new features?”

“The response is very good, especially among students.”

Ma Teng turned to the person in charge of the campus network and said: “Lucas, you heard it too. We are on the verge of copying. If we don’t have the functions they have, we don’t have the qualifications to compete with them at all, so quickly call the brothers in the project department back to work overtime. Tell them that the overtime pay will be calculated at three times.”

Lucas’ Chinese name is Luka, the general manager of Tencent Campus Network and the vice president of technology of Tencent.

After listening to Ma Teng’s speech, Luka also knew the urgency of the matter and immediately said solemnly: “Okay, Pony, I will call the brothers to come back to work overtime.” After that, he turned and left Ma Teng’s office.

“By the way, Jeff, how is the lawsuit between us and Alphabet going?”

“We have both won and lost. They can’t beat us in Shenzhen, but we can’t beat them in Yanjing either.”

Alphabet first sued Tencent for plagiarism and infringement in the Shenzhen Court, but was directly found guilty. Ye Yunzhou was a little surprised when he heard about it. He didn’t expect Tencent to become Nanshan Pizza Hut now.

There was no way, Alphabet sued Tencent again in the Yanjing Intermediate People’s Court. This time Tencent was found guilty, but Tencent was not satisfied, so it continued to appeal. Anyway, the dispute is still going on, and Ye Yunzhou’s intention to resolve the issue through legal means has directly failed.
