Chapter 114: Rebs

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

"Mr. Lei, hehe, it's been a long time indeed."

"How about it, I heard that Mr. Gu has recently been in charge of the Sohu Game Division?"

"Forget it."

Gu Yongqiang met someone today.

This person is Lei Jun, the president of Kingsoft Corporation.

right.

This Lei Jun is the Lei Jun known as Leibus in later generations.

Lei Jun graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Wuhan University and was a man of the hour in school.

Later, the WPS of Jinshan was decrypted with technology, and Qiu Bojun, the founder of Jinshan, was very interested in Lei Jun.

Invite Lei Jun to have a meal, and recognize Lei Jun's great talent during the meal, and invite Lei Jun to join Jinshan.

With his outstanding talents, Lei Junzhi became the president of Kingsoft after joining Kingsoft.

"Hehe, isn't online games quite profitable, why, looking at Mr. Gu's appearance, what troubles did you encounter?"

"Oh, it's a long story."

Gu Yongqiang took a sip of tea: "I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves in Sohu over the years, but I didn't expect that this time I was in charge of the game business department, but it was a fight."

Now Gu Yongqiang is under a lot of pressure.

Although Zhang Chaoyang, the CEO of Sohu, has always trusted Gu Yongqiang, it is useless if he can't achieve results.

No, he made an appointment with Lei Jun.

As soon as he turned around, he would briefly talk to Lei Jun about the recent events.

Lei Jun next to him, however, listened interestingly and laughed from time to time.

Especially for the activation code mentioned by Gu Yongqiang, Lei Jun seemed very interested: "Activation code, huh, I didn't expect it could be used like this."

Lei Jun naturally knew the activation code.

Their Jinshan company can be described as the earliest software company using activation codes in China.

Like their WPS, etc., the activation code is used.

It's just that their WPS activation code is just to prevent WPS piracy.

Unexpectedly, the activation code can still be used in online games, and the effect is so amazing.

"That 5173 is a bit interesting. Once the activation code came out, it turned the original internal test that everyone could test into a test that requires a certain qualification. And this qualification has stimulated players' yearning for the game, allowing players to I feel that the internal test is sacred and not everyone can participate, which further promotes the popularity of the game.”

Lei Jun is a big boss.

Before the big giants became famous, Lei Jun had already started to mix IT, and he could be said to be the predecessor of many bigwigs.

However, the IT industry is changing too fast.

Especially after the advent of the Internet, the entire industry has changed at once.

It turned out that the way of selling money only by writing software has become somewhat outdated, but Lei Jun, who has a great grasp of the market, has focused his attention on online games. During this period of time, Jinshan has also prepared an online game, which they plan to bring to the market next year.

Gu Yongqiang just said it, but Lei Jun saw the doorway.

"Mr. Lei is really smart. I have to say that 5173 does have two brushes. I had underestimated him before. By the way, I heard that Mr. Lei and Xishanju will also enter the online game industry?"

"I have this idea."

Lei Jun didn't hide it either. The matter had already been spread, and he said, "Chen Tianqiao has already told us what is the most profitable thing in the country."

Although Kingsoft is a well-known enterprise, it is even one of the top software giants in China.

But software giants are useless if they don't make money.

Although their WPS is a national office software brand, it has always been unable to compete with Microsoft's word.

Although Jinshan is still a domestic software giant, to be honest, life is really embarrassing.

At this time, I suddenly saw that online games are so profitable. If Jinshan has no idea, it is impossible.

Moreover, the Xishanju Game Studio, a subsidiary of Kingsoft Corporation,

I started making games a few years ago.

But at that time, they were doing single-player games, and they started to sell well.

But then there were pirated copies, and single-player games were not easy to sell.

But although the single machine is not easy to sell, but now online games are up.

In fact, there is not much difference between online game technology and stand-alone technology, and it does not even need to be so complicated.

He only needs to be connected to the Internet, and a single-player game can be turned into an online game.

Therefore, Jinshan wanted to turn the stand-alone game of Xishanju Studio into an online game.

Lei Jun told the truth: "Jianxia Love has been doing stand-alone before, and we intend to launch the online version of Swordsman Love."

"That's great, I'm a fan of Swordsman Romance. Swordsman Romance is one of the most popular in China. If the online version is released, it will definitely explode."

"You can't say that. Swordsman Love was originally a stand-alone game, but now it has become an online game. Whether it can be successful or not, we have no idea."

"Mr. Lei is humble. Our Sohu's most anticipated online game list, your Swordsman Romance online version ranks first, opening a distance of dozens of times the second place."

"Ha ha."

Lei Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't made any money from playing games for so many years, but I didn't expect to gain a lot of fame."

"Reputation is also money. Once the online version of Swordsman Love is released, I believe it will definitely become a fire."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Gu for his beautiful words."

Speaking of which, Lei Jun is actually looking forward to the online version of Swordsman Love. However, Lei Jun has always been a person who strives for perfection. Although he hopes that the online version of Swordsman Love will be launched as soon as possible, according to the progress, it will be next spring at the earliest.

"By the way, Mr. Lei, have you started the promotion of swordsman love?"

"Not yet, we expect the internal test next year, there is still time."

"Mr. Lei, I think you should warm up now."

"Oh?"

"The online game industry is an emerging industry, and everyone is very receptive to emerging things. The legend of the front foot has become so popular, and the popularity of miracles has recently surpassed that of legends. Early warm-up can also hang players' expectations. If it is promoted next year, I am afraid it will be too long. It’s a little short and not in a hurry.”

"It is."

Lei Jun nodded.

"Hehe, Mr. Lei, how about the promotion of the online version of your Swordsman Romance? We Sohu exclusively help you promote it?"

"this."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I'm talking about Sohu, not just Sohu Game Division."

Knowing that the 17173 of Sohu's game division is not as good as 5173, Gu Yongqiang added another sentence.

"Row."

After thinking for a while, Lei Jun nodded.

Although 17173 is not as good as 5173, if the entire Sohu portal is promoted, it is not worse than 5173.

Coupled with the old acquaintance of Gu Yongqiang, I believe that the promotion efforts are not bad.

Although he said so, Lei Jun still said: "But Mr. Gu, I am not in charge of Xishanju at present, I can only verbally agree to your request. As for the formal signing of the contract, I have to wait until next month to be transferred to be in charge of Xishanju. Only later."

Lei Jun is currently the president of Kingsoft.

Although Lei Jun intends to enter the field of online games, he is not the one in charge of Xishanju temporarily.

Of course, the board of directors had already met before and stated their intentions. Lei Jun will be transferred to Xishanju next month to take over the game business department in an all-round way, and he only needs to go through the procedures later.

"Haha, Mr. Lei is humble again, it's just a matter of one sentence, I know."

Gu Yongqiang was overjoyed when Lei Jun agreed.

Getting the promotion of Swordsman Love means getting the activation code for Swordsman Love.

In a few days, he is going to throw out the activation code of Swordsman Love, and kill the majesty of 5173.

He believed.

With the popularity of swordsmanship, if this activation code comes out, I think you will have any miracles?
