Rebirth of the Wild Age

The programmers of Xishanju laughed at Korean games based on their traditional knowledge of video games. At this time, no one in the world can imagine the real development potential of online games, including those in South Korea.

In South Korea in the 1990s, software piracy was so serious that it was not at all lost to its Chinese counterparts.

Therefore, South Korea's stand-alone game market also tended to collapse, until 1996, when "Nation of Wind" turned out. Strictly speaking, "Nation of Wind" is just a game that uses mud graphics, but it is the first to establish a charging model for online games, giving a new lease of life to the game market that has been eroded by piracy.

The success of "Nation of Wind" allowed South Korean stand-alone game developers to quickly switch to the field of online games, and a landmark work of "Paradise" was born.

It wasn't until the advent of "Paradise" that people began to pinpoint the development direction of online games. "Paradise" has far-reaching influence not only in China, but also in the world. It contains almost all the successful elements of mmorpg. European and American manufacturers are also learning from the experience of "Paradise" in various ways.

A piece of "Paradise" made online games completely popular in South Korea. The size of the South Korean online game market reached 16 million US dollars in 1999. Countless Korean game makers followed up, and it came to fruition two years later-the Korean online game market was only US$17 million in 2000, and it became US$26.3 million in 2001!

So capital showed its power.

First of all, games such as "Paradise", "mu", and "Ragnarok", which were the first to seize the market, began to join forces to exclude other games from entering the market. The vast majority of Korean online games cannot recover their costs in South Korea. They can only find breakthroughs overseas. The Chinese market is one of them and the largest.

Entering overseas markets is very risky, and there is no guarantee that one of 100 games will succeed. Therefore, the capital's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits has emerged, and 99% of South Korean online game manufacturers have begun to abandon their pursuit of quality and frantically win by quantity. Anyway, it is a massive production of games with extremely similar content, which are sold in foreign markets like lotteries. Korean online games have quickly entered a dead end since then.

From becoming popular to violent death, Korean online games only took three years.

After some market cleaning and reorganization, casual games such as "Running Kart" and "Adventure Island" finally brought South Korean online games back to life.

At this moment, no one can predict that South Korean online games, which have just become popular, will form a firestorm in the next few years. It is even more impossible on China's side. Telecom is still busy studying how to promote broadband services, and even broadband infrastructure is still in meetings and discussions.

In China, the bandwidth is generally only 14.4kb-56kb. Who can make up your mind to engage in online games?

Therefore, when Song Weiyang decided to set up an online game project team, he was opposed by Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun.

Song Weiyang, who has never intervened in the operation of Jinshan Company, expressed a tough attitude for the first time and even called Zhang Xuanlong to Xiangshan for a board meeting.

No matter how Song Weiyang explained, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun disagreed. They believe that they should wait first, at least until the Internet speed in China generally reaches 100kb or more, before they have the basic environment for online games to survive, and now they can only act as pioneers and martyrs in online games.

This view cannot be said to be wrong, and it is extremely correct.

Historically, the first batch of Chinese manufacturers who acted as online game agents were basically martyrs. The success of "Legend" is a prerequisite for the slow popularization of broadband, which has brought too many Internet cafe users.

But Song Weiyang is not short of money. He firmly believes that he can survive the difficult times and now he must train the technical team and the operation team in advance.

As long as you can survive, take the lead step by step, take the lead step by step!

In the case of unreasonable reasons, Song Weiyang directly patted the table and said: "If I disagree with the online game plan, then I will withdraw my capital. Anyway, the funds have not been fully paid, and the money that has already arrived will be regarded as my liquidated damage! Now play the game. There are a lot of studios, I just bought another one!"

Lei Jun hesitated to speak and then turned his gaze to Qiu Bojun.

Qiu Bojun is not very concerned, he hesitated to speak, and turned his attention to Zhang Xuanlong.

Zhang Xuanlong smiled bitterly: "I don't know much about games, and you are a major shareholder, so let's listen to you."

Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun looked at each other and were forced to agree to Song Weiyang's plan, but they demanded strict control of online game project funds.

In this way, Xishanju's first online game project was passed, and he aimed directly at the hottest overseas "Paradise" to imitate it.

Song Weiyang also said to Zou Tao, the project team leader: “Don’t make so many bells and whistles, the simpler and rude the better. The game is positioned so that fools can quickly learn it. There are three game roles, warrior, archer and magician. It’s coolest to be able to PK each other for equipment."

Hearing this, Zou Tao was also dumbfounded.

Tao Zou has his own pursuit of the game, such as creating a world background in Hongdae, writing poignant love stories of heroes, and setting up complex and perfect careers, skills and equipment systems. Now Song Weiyang gave an order, which is equivalent to asking Zou Tao, who plans to build an armored combat vehicle, to get a farm tractor out for fun.

This boss is poisonous!

Anyway, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun are too lazy to care about them. They just don’t see the online game project team and they don’t even bother about how they can make the online game.

Zou Tao's online game project team is like being sent to the army. His father is not in love with his mother, and he collects project funds regularly every month. With these guys messing around, the ghost knows what a weird game can be made.

Song Weiyang doesn't care, isn't he just throwing money?

…

Kingsoft's affairs have been arranged, and Song Weiyang is preparing to return to Shenghai.

This morning, holding a stack of publications in thought, he said to Song Weiyang who was eating in the hotel: "Boss, today's newspapers and magazines have been sorted out for you."

The work of meditation is very careful, and the news that she thinks is more important is specially marked with red pen.

Song Weiyang was watching the news while eating breakfast, and soon discovered a strange phenomenon: Several national newspapers, industrial and commercial magazines, and computer publications were all reporting on a website called Yanhuang Online.

The website of Yanhuang Online is very domineering, Chinese, this domain name is worth at least 1 million yuan.

Many major newspapers published full-page full-page Yanhuang online advertisements with only one sentence: Let’s make it big together!

What a ghost, Nima, where did this wonderful thing come from?

In the next few days, Yanhuang Online's reports and advertisements were overwhelming, directly stealing the limelight from Sina and Sohu, and it seemed to have become the leader of China's Internet industry.

Top company announced in a high profile that it will invest 600 million yuan to build Yanhuang Online for global Chinese, and to build a Chinese online community across five continents. It didn't take long for this website to transform into a global Chinese business website, and within a few days it became a solution expert in the retail industry.

So, is Yanhuang Online a network community or a commercial website? Or is it an e-commerce website?

No fart!

This is a farce of money scams and hype.

There is a rural youth named Song Ruhua. He was from a poor family. He lost his mother at the age of seven and was admitted to university by hard work. During his time at school, he set himself eight no principles, not going abroad, not doing business, not smoking, not drinking, not singing, not dancing, not watching movies, not going to the park, and studying hard wholeheartedly. He graduated with honours and stayed as a teacher, and was promoted to associate professor by exception. He also won the "Special Prize for Youth Teaching and Educating of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering".

During the 1992 Southern Tour, Song Ruhua violated his vow not to engage in business and became a member of the army. He rode a tricycle around reselling computers, and made a lot of money by selling software, and became a rich little boss.

If Song Ruhua died in a car accident at this time, then his whole life will be positive and worthy of praise and learning.

However, this guy encircled a 100 acres of cauliflower field in Xikang Province, inserted a brand called "Western Software Park", and immediately held a press conference. This software park, with only one broken brand, has received the attention of the leaders of the central government and Xikang Province. Because the western region is economically backward, a high-tech park has now emerged. It is like a firefly in the dark, and it is directly listed as the first batch of the four major national " One of the "National Torch Program Software Industry Base".

The second-in-command of Xikang Province personally handed over a loss-making state-owned enterprise to this person for backdoor listing-the loss-making state-owned enterprise was located in Rongping City, only a 10-minute drive from the headquarters of Xifeng.

Song Ruhua was stupid himself, and was ecstatic! He started various campaigns, raising the company's stock price from 0.01 yuan to 6 yuan that year, and then raising the stock price to 24.58 yuan the following year.

The mountain village boy who used to study hard, the associate professor who used to teach hard, and the small boss who used to go through storms, became a big capitalist playing finance.

Song Ruhua couldn't stop at all and kept copying this model: he negotiated with the local government, declared that he would invest 100 million yuan to build a huge software park in the local area, and promised to introduce hundreds of software companies within a few years. uukanshu.com makes it the largest high-tech park in the province.

Such a tempting business plan made the local government completely unable to refuse. The people who were deceived were: Anshi, Shaozhou, Jinling, Jiacheng, Taicheng, Weidao, Wuxi, Changshi... For several years, Song Ruhua's software The park has been opened to dozens of provinces and cities across the country, and it has become the largest "it landlord" in China!

Now it is estimated that the software park project is not easy to do, and the local government has also learned so well, so Song Ruhua began to enter the Internet again.

Song Weiyang casually checked the public information and financial reports of Top Company, and he couldn't laugh or cry. This person is so **** capable of cheating!

Is it because the surname is Song?

Song Weiyang was too lazy to care about this guy's mess, but he didn't expect that he received an interview invitation from "Chinese Entrepreneur" when he returned to Shenghai.

The magazine could not refuse, Song Weiyang could only agree to be interviewed. The reporter said straightforwardly: "Boss Song, the Internet industry has developed rapidly in the past two years. Our "Chinese Entrepreneur" magazine is preparing to do an Internet topic. You are a major shareholder of Sohu.com and Sogou Search, and you are the most famous in China. Young entrepreneurs, so we would like to ask you to talk about your views on the Internet."

"No problem." Song Weiyang smiled.

The reporter and Song Weiyang discussed the development prospects of the Internet, and then started talking about Chinese Internet companies. The reporter suddenly said: "Now the most famous Chinese website is Yanhuang Online. How does Boss Song comment on this website?"

Song Weiyang smiled and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth." The reporter said.

Song Weiyang said: "Except for the real domain name, Yanhuang Online is all fake. What's the investment of 600 million yuan? If he invests 6 million yuan, I will go straight to the Bund for three hours."

(Today there is something to go out, there will be only one update, and tomorrow will be updated three times.)
