Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 604 The future of Dragonscale Company; "Counter-Strike" failed?

in the next few days.

The promotional video of "Final Fantasy: Tifa" spread very quickly abroad, and became popular directly.

How popular is it?

It is said that young people in the streets and alleys are talking about it, and many people even went to the sales place of [Dragon Scale 3] to inquire.

This thing is very funny.

[Thunder 2] new game news, why go to [Dragon Scale 3] sales office to ask?
Isn't this disgusting?
This is not the most outrageous, the most interesting thing is that there are even many reporters who came to interview, wanting to get a lot of inside information about the game "Final Fantasy"...

This makes people very speechless.

It's all inside news, how can I tell you?
Want to eat fart?

After driving away these reporters without hesitation, foreign media soon reported that the [Thunder Group] store was bullying customers. It's fake, it's just a show.

Many foreign media colleagues also made critical remarks based on this incident, accusing [Thunder Group] of being too domineering and serious, impersonal, and violating the traditional virtue of "hospitality" of the Great Xia Kingdom.

……

"Where do these strange things come from?"

Tian Moyun was a little speechless.

"Whatever, foreigners are like this."

Li Tenglong shook his head, and said casually: "The attribute of sand sculptures is not unique to Daxia. If you often go abroad, you will find that there are more sand sculptures abroad than domestic ones, and they are even more outrageous. They don't even have the most basic logic. My mind is completely muddled, and many times I wonder how people like them grow up? And they can still find a good job, which is an insult to those normal people with ordinary jobs."

"..."

Tian Moyun didn't go abroad often, so he didn't know about it.

and also--

The two of them are sitting here, not discussing sand sculptures.

"Let's talk about the future development of [Dragonscale Company]."

Tian Moyun changed the subject: "What do you think?"

[Dragon Scale Game Company] The future situation will inevitably be a bit embarrassing.

According to their previous agreement: [Thunder 2] will inherit everything from [Dragon Scale 3], including all game resources on this platform and foreign self-operated sales channels, all of which will be the foundation of [Thunder 2], Help open the market for new game consoles.

As such.

[Thunder 2] can get the greatest benefits, and minimize the risk of slow sales caused by the launch of new game consoles.

But... [Dragon Scale 3] is in an embarrassing situation.

This game console will therefore withdraw from the stage directly, and with the end of [Dragon Scale 3], it is the [Dragon Scale Game Company] behind it.

Without the rich heritage left by [Dragon Scale 3], the company will no longer be able to do [Dragon Scale 4], and the entire game company will be reduced to history.

To know--

The [Dragonscale Game Company] at this stage has a very good development prospect and is about to go public. If the game machine business is cut off, the entire company will inevitably go bankrupt, and there is no need to think about going public.

……

"It is inevitable to cut off the game console business."

Li Tenglong said: "I plan to keep the game development business after cutting this business, and enter the mobile phone/computer market, and lay out the Internet by the way. This is the big trend in the future."

"pretty good."

Tian Moyun nodded and did not speak again.

Li Tenglong didn't say a word, just made tea silently, the tea art looked pretty good.

After a while, he said, "What do you think of the future? The future of the three industries of mobile phones, computers, and the Internet."

"The future will be the pinnacle of these three industries."

Tian Moyun thought for a few seconds: "The economy is getting better and better, and the consumption power of the people is gradually increasing, but at the same time, the competition among enterprises will become more intense. If you want to enter these three industries, besides the Internet, the other two It is better to globalize this industry, which is easier to do.”

"Why doesn't the Internet work?"

Li Tenglong frowned and asked.

"Genetic data, privacy, politics."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "With the gradual development of the Internet, all countries will start to pay attention to Internet data. It will be difficult to do this in foreign countries. They will not trust the Internet companies in Daxia Kingdom... There are many reasons. It can be done, but Difficult to do, be careful not to eat the mutton and cause a commotion."

"That's it."

Li Tenglong was thoughtful.

"As for the two major industries of mobile phones and computers..."

Tian Moyun continued: "My suggestion is that you can try to develop an operating system by yourself. I can provide core hardware such as processors, and you can make your own products based on the hardware framework."

The future belongs to the era of smart machines.

For mobile phones and computers, the operating system is very important.

Taking advantage of the absence of smart phones, it is better to build a system quickly than anything else. If a western scientific research giant took the lead in making a smart operating system and then popularized it to the world, then it would have to depend on other people's faces for food. That would be hard.

"Operating system? Aren't you going to do it?"

Li Tenglong was startled, a little puzzled.

"Do it, but [Xingkong Technology] is only using it here, and it will not be opened or sold to the outside world."

Tian Moyun said casually: "[Starry Sky OS] remains independent and closed, and then I plan to do high-end, but this obviously cannot win the entire market, so, in addition to [Starry Sky OS], there will be another open The system exists, and I thought, instead of having someone else do it, why not do it ourselves?"

"You keep talking."

Li Tenglong was interested.

“[Longlin Company] can develop an operating system by itself, and open it to all mobile phone manufacturers in the world for free, and let them help you complete the update and optimization. Although it is free, but in this way, you can use this system. Ownership is in your hands and you are protected from extortion.”

Tian Moyun said casually: "The computer system is too complicated, it may be difficult for you, and now the whole country is using [Starry Sky OS], it is difficult to popularize the second system, overseas countries should also compare the computer system of Great Xia Kingdom Be wary, so ... consider a mobile operating system."

Open for free!
Li Tenglong gradually came to his senses and suddenly realized.

Develop an operating system, and then open it to global mobile phone manufacturers for free. As long as the market penetration rate of this system is high enough, it will definitely attract more software manufacturers to participate. In this way, it will be very difficult for others to promote their own systems. up.

And after they have thoroughly mastered this system, it seems that they can't make a profit from it, but... profiting from the side will become very smooth.

This is like 【Star Fetion】.

This is a completely free software. As the world's largest social software, it does not make any profit, but the horrible cost must be paid. From any point of view, this does not seem to be a wise thing.

However, relying on this software, [Star Technology] has developed a series of peripheral profitable businesses, and has successfully become the most profitable subsidiary of the entire [Thunder Group].

According to a more reliable conjecture——

The revenue and profit of [Starry Sky Technology] is equivalent to the sum of the six subsidiaries of [Cool], [Mege], [Little Squirrel], [Longteng], and [Thunder Games], accounting for half of the entire [Thunder Group] , quite scary.

The "free and open operating system" proposed by Tian Moyun is actually similar to [Starry Sky Fetion].

The product itself does not need any profit, you only need to do surrounding profitable business around the product, and you can make a lot of money.

"Why don't you do it?"

Li Tenglong was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that Tian Moyun can completely do this business by himself, taking the entire mobile phone market into his arms, and there is no need to hand it over to others. Isn't this creating competitors for himself?

"The market needs competition."

Tian Moyun said casually: "Only proper competition can make a company develop the fastest and always be at the forefront of the times. If a company has no competitors, it will lose the motivation to move forward, and it will inevitably be eliminated by newer things. ,replace."

"Aren't you afraid to create a difficult opponent who will eventually overthrow yourself?"

Li Tenglong asked.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Tian Moyun smiled: "No enterprise can exist forever, just like life, from the moment of birth, life is heading for destruction. The same is true for enterprises, [Thunder Group] is the king of this era, but in the next era , may become dust of history, who knows?"

"I'm trying to do what I think is right. I can't just do nothing because I'm afraid of destruction, right?"

"If [Thunder Group] has no opponents, it will continue to grow, and eventually provoke some invincible enemies, and thus quickly decline and destroy... This may be faster than normal competition."

"One side is that it will be destroyed soon, and the other side is that the next era may be destroyed... For anyone, they will choose the second option instead of the first."

"Create an opponent for yourself, so that enterprises can always maintain vitality and a spirit of seeking change in the constant competition. This is the long-term kingly way... I think my opinion is not wrong."

……

Li Tenglong didn't speak, but seriously digested the deep meaning in Tian Moyun's words.

He can understand that the two sides have different perceptions on many issues.

Compared with him, a "insignificant" little man, Tian Moyun stands at a higher place, and can almost see what will happen in the future.

It's not about predicting the future, but...

When the height reaches a certain level, the answer from the "future" can be obtained from history.

Will there be some changes in this era?
What are the signs of the next era?

What is the next "node" in the evolution of human civilization?

Tian Moyun saw many things, he could even "see" the destruction of [Thunder Group].

Is it destroyed now?Or future destruction?

This is something he has to think about and try his best to change and change.

……

"The scariest thing in the world is not how strong the opponent is, but the absence of an opponent."

Tian Moyun said softly: "When all opponents are gradually dying out, it is destined... that I will be the next to die. This is an eternal truth in thousands of years of human civilization."

"maybe."

Li Tenglong shrugged: "Speaking of which, if I want to develop an operating system by myself, it may not be easy. You should have a way to help me, right?"

"..."

Tian Moyun looked up at him for a long time, and said quietly: "You are becoming more and more proficient in 'comprador' now."

The previous [Dragon Scale Game Console] was like this. This guy directly purchased core hardware and system templates from Tian Moyun, and then went back to assemble and sell them.

The first generation, second generation, third generation... all of them are like this, even the games have to be provided by Tian Moyun, and they do very little work by themselves, so they are just taking advantage of it.

"You'll get used to this kind of thing."

Li Tenglong chuckled.

"I will provide you with a basic template. As for what to do next, you have to figure out your own way."

Tian Moyun thought for a while and said, "The public system framework I provide will be based on a newly created hardware architecture, which is different from [Thunder Processor]."

"Afterwards, I will make this hardware architecture free and open source for chip companies all over the world to develop and produce on this basis."

"As for [Thunder Processor] and [Starry Sky OS], I will keep them for my own use. I will not open source them, nor will they be supplied to any third parties."

……

Transformation into a three-in-one developer of mobile phone hardware, mobile software, and game content is the best way out for 【Longlin Company】.

As long as this step of transformation is smooth, you can submit an application for listing and successfully become a listed company, and it is still at the giant level.

This is a plan that the two sides discussed early in the morning.

Transforming from the game industry to the mobile phone industry, this is a very wise choice for [Longlin Company].

If there is no transformation, even if it can be successfully listed, the market value will not be too ideal.

Because [Dragon Scale Company] has very little core technology and relies heavily on [Thunder Group], it does not have any profitable business except for the game industry.

In terms of the game industry, [Dragonscale Company] has a relatively high risk index in Daxia, and is overly dependent on game manufacturers internationally. When competing with giants such as [Super Hard Moluo], it appears to be relatively passive.

The overall risk index is very high.

Under such circumstances, the success of applying for listing is certain, but it is also certain that the market value is not considerable.

Li Tenglong was eager for change.

Cutting down the game hardware business, transforming into mobile phone software and hardware business, and taking care of some other industries by the way, such as computer assembly and sales, game content development, Internet business, etc., will greatly reduce the risk index and have great benefits for listing.

As for the open operating system proposed by Tian Moyun?

If this thing is really successful, then [Dragon Scale Company] is likely to become a big crocodile among listed companies in the world's technology industry as soon as it goes public.

The outlook is bright.

……

9 month 13 day.

This is a special day.

"Counter-Strike" was officially launched just 30 days ago.

Many netizens are curious about the first sale of this game and want to know how much money "Counter-Strike" can make.

Some people even began to speculate that the revenue of "Counter-Strike" may not be comparable to that of "Blood Sword Heroes", and that game is really evil.

The answer is that they guessed right.

【Storm Games】announced the news: ""Counter-Strike" has been officially launched for 30 days, and the revenue of the domestic version is 3.46 million, and the international version is still counting."

As soon as the news came out, many netizens expressed shock.

"Isn't it? A super masterpiece like "Counter-Strike" is actually not as good as "Blood Sword" in terms of revenue?"

"Now, those local tyrants are going to be rampant again, hey."

"Isn't the international version released yet? The domestic version plus the international version, it's safe to play "Blood Sword"."

"This is playing a rascal. "Blood Sword" only has a domestic version. Comparing the two domestic versions, "Anti-Terrorism" is indeed the loser."

"Those local tyrants are too fierce, aren't they? Just keep doing games like "Anti-Terrorism"... I feel complicated."

"Boss Tian is no longer the most profitable game designer in China, Chen Wenlong is."

"However, we firmly do not recognize Chen Wenlong's status in the game industry. If he is capable, he will make a game like "Anti-Terrorism."

""Anti-Terrorism" is good, but it doesn't make money, and I heard that it has invested hundreds of millions. In contrast, "Blood Sword" only invested 3000 to [-] million...Your product."

"It's not that "Anti-Terrorism" doesn't make money, but that buyout games are not as profitable as pure online games. The habit of seeking profits with capital may become the world of online games in the future."

"It's a pity that "Anti-Terrorism" lost to such a game. The good mood early in the morning suddenly disappeared."

Many netizens expressed that it was difficult to accept, and they all bad-mouthed the future of buyout games.

Many big Vs in the game industry stood up to speak, appease the mood of netizens, and objectively analyzed the pros and cons of the two game modes, saying that the future of buyout games is still very bright, and they will not die like arcade games.

However, under the attack of those rampant local tyrants licking dogs, everything seemed very futile.

……

Not only netizens, but even people in the game industry are a little at a loss.

"Counter-Strike" invested hundreds of millions, and it is Tian Moyun's super masterpiece, but in terms of revenue, it is still not as good as "Blood Sword", a heavy krypton game that only cost 3000 to [-] million. Hesitant, and somewhat inclined to develop heavy krypton games instead of super masterpieces.

"Perhaps, the heavy krypton game model is the right way out for online games."

Some bosses think like this: "A game like "Blood Sword" is difficult to cater to all players. Why don't we develop a krypton gold game suitable for ordinary people? A game that recharges thousands of dollars should also Are they all within the limits of ordinary people’s acceptance?”

They began to study the krypton gold gameplay of online games, and believed that this market had great potential.

……

"Don't you want to say something?"

Su Qiong turned her head to look at Tian Moyun, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

This guy seems to be...in a good mood.

A well-crafted super masterpiece, lost to a game like "Blood Sword", how did he laugh?

"What can I say?"

Tian Moyun said indifferently: ""Counter-Strike" has been a success. Players at home and abroad are very enthusiastic about this game. Even, the download volume of overseas players exceeds that of domestic players, and the combined revenue is almost 10%. It's over [-] million...and this is just the beginning, what's the rush?"

"You want to... start a global game competition?"

Su Qiong was thoughtful.

"Yes, "Counter-Strike" is very enjoyable to watch, and it is very suitable for launching a global competition. This is the real peak moment of this game."

Tian Moyun smiled: "As long as the global competition of "Anti-Terrorism" is held smoothly, then this game will become one of the most profitable games in history... Many people on the Internet said that this game failed. This kind of view is very inexplicable. Isn't it?"
