Chapter 179 I Know I Will Face a Dragon, but Is This Dragon a Little Too Big?

If we say that Blue Ocean Paradise's hostile takeover completely expelled Ke Xiangyang, it dealt a severe blow to Mr. Ke.

Then what Blue Sea Paradise did next completely drove the old man to a dead end.

The history books of the years.

Because the establishment of Blue Ocean Paradise even predates the Internet itself. (The Internet in the real sense only began to rise in the 1990s)

Relevant records of that era are basically stored in the newspapers of that year, or in the memories of players of that era.

And this fragile memory can easily change over time.

What's more, in order to be foolproof, the capitalists of Blue Ocean Paradise completely eliminated the possibility of Xiangyang's comeback.

Almost all news reports about him were deleted.

And even then the Internet started to become lively.

Once we find that someone with bad intentions wants to trace the past, we will use energy to clean up their online speeches.

Some real insiders in the industry did not want to offend Blue Ocean Paradise, which was the leader in the gaming industry at the time, and chose to remain silent.

After capital used its powerful control over public opinion to overshadow this matter, as time went by, fewer and fewer people remembered this matter, or actually paid attention to it.

After all, those are other people's affairs and have nothing to do with a group of people watching the fun. Who will remember whom in a few years?

And then Xiangyang learned that the gaming empire he had built by himself was now completely reduced to someone else's wedding dress.

He no longer even has the right to authorize it, and will eventually be forgotten by all players as time goes by.

This feeling of having everything taken away made his heart bleed, but when the capital was completely exhausted.

He had no means of counterattack.

Frustrated, he spent his last effort and entrusted a reliable friend he met in the United States to smuggle him back to the country.

After finally seeing my long-lost family members.

The happiness of reunion did not dissipate Xiangyang's depression.

On the contrary, it is because he has not spent time with his family for so many years. Even his son has grown up to be a teenager, but he is particularly alienated from him.

I have worked hard for so long, but I have gotten nothing.

This made him feel even more guilty and make him even more difficult to think about.

On a calm day.

Lying in his bedroom at home, he chose to take an overdose of sleeping pills, finally ending his legendary and soul-crushing life.

Then, it was about carving the old man’s death.

Because this memory is indeed unpleasant.

Therefore, Mo Jun only made a few vague remarks and did not elaborate on it.

And the reason why the brother and sister are not allowed to play games.

Although there is a fear of "once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of the well rope for ten years", I am afraid that my son and daughter will make the same mistake as my grandfather.

But more importantly, I am worried that if one of my son or daughter really follows my grandfather’s footsteps and starts a game company slowly.

Perhaps they will be retaliated against by the descendants of the Ke family from Blue Sea Paradise.

But when his son and daughter were still young, they naturally didn't understand his intentions.

Kejun, who belongs to the previous generation, still has a bit of the rigidity of old-fashioned education.

Therefore, the choice has always been forced suppression.

Don't ask why, just obey.

After establishing their authority for a long time, the son and daughter gradually got used to all this.

Kejun gradually couldn't get out of his role, and he didn't even know how to explain all this to his children.

If it weren't for today's unexpected visitor, Kejun didn't know how long he would have kept this matter hidden.

But now that the truth has been fully revealed, it has relieved him of the burden he had carried for many years.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all you want to know."

"I thought you would stay away from games as you clearly stated, but now it seems..." Ke Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Ke Jin and Ke Yu looked at each other and winked.

Keyu stood up and walked around the sofa, stretched out his small fist and started to beat Kejun's back. While doing so, he said with a sweet smile: "Dad, please believe in my brother just once. You have also seen the development of Ready Player One. What will happen in the future?" Who knows for sure, maybe my brother can turn Player One into the world’s number one gaming company.”

"When the time comes... oh! Just punch the blue sea paradise away." As he spoke, Keyu also made a gesture of punching away. His thin eyebrows were slightly raised, looking confident.

"You guys, we're still far from it." Kejun shook his head and said, "The Blue Sea Paradise back then..."

When Keyu saw that his father was going to bring up the past again, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, we are still far away, we are still far away, let's take it easy, okay?"

After he finished speaking, he pouted helplessly and gave his old brother a look that said, "I can't do anything with him."

Having lived two lifetimes in Kejin, he can somewhat understand the mentality of Kejun, an old father.

For one thing, if Dad wasn't exaggerating.

Blue Ocean Paradise had a monopoly influence on the entire Blue Star game market at that time.

In a true sense, anyone who can't be allowed to play games can't do it.

And now, let alone Ready Player One.

Even if the three companies, Number One Player + Tengjing + Netcom, work together and do not take into account the factors of the Huaguang Bureau, they will have no choice but to play an industry monopoly in China.

But if you want to achieve a world-class monopoly, it is naturally a fantasy.

Not to mention China, the same is true for other countries.

The major game factories in South Korea and Neon combined are also unable to complete this move.

From this perspective.

The current achievements of Ready Player One are indeed far behind the behemoth of Blue Ocean Paradise.

On the other hand.

People have biased perceptions of themselves.

Singers that the older generation likes cannot be replaced by new generation singers.

What's more, the blue sea paradise in Kejun's eyes is not at the level of a singer.

He was the culprit who indirectly killed his father, and he was also a giant in the entire gaming industry.

This incident cast a shadow on Ke Jun's childhood to some extent.

Now his son is about to embark on the same old path, and may one day face the huge figure from the past.

The phobia in Kerjun's heart broke out again.

Ke Jin can understand these.

After all, Dad didn't know that he was not actually from Blue Star, nor did he know that Brother Tongzi was helping him.

There is nothing wrong with thinking that one’s top player cannot compete with Blue Ocean Paradise no matter what.

But for Ke Jin.

Isn't it just a blue sea paradise?

I've never heard of it.

Maybe it's gone now.

Let me check first!

He winked at Yubao and asked her to hold her father steady first.

Ke Jin casually took out his cell phone and flipped through the relevant information about Blue Sea Paradise.

But an unexpected discovery.

There are almost no keywords for ‘blue sea paradise’ found online.

Even after turning a few pages, the name of a foot-washing city popped up...

"Brother Tongzi, can you help me retrieve the historical information of Blue Star? Search for Blue Sea Paradise around the world." After the search failed, Ke Jin chose to ask Brother Tongzi for help.

I have never used Tongzige to search for information before.

But Ke Jin estimated that Brother Tongzi should have this ability.

Because it has the ability to retrieve various games from the past and present on Earth, and can even extract game plans.

Then naturally you will have a general understanding of the Blue Star game market.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay with him as a supervisor.

Ke Jin originally asked with the mentality of giving it a try.

After all, Brother Tongzi has always been in the category before. As long as it is irrelevant to the game tasks, it will not pop up prompts.

But this time, Brother Tongzi didn't seem so unreasonable.

Soon, a complete information about the 'Blue Ocean Paradise' from the beginning to the present was presented in front of Kejin in the form of a blue high-tech projection screen, which was visible to him alone.

The early development of Blue Sea Paradise was very different from what Kejun said.

Especially the share integration and the expulsion of Xiangyang's record.

It still caused a certain sensation in the United States at that time.

But then, under the strong support of capital, the skills of the history books were launched.

At that time, most of the original records about the creation of Blue Sea Paradise were almost deleted, and the overwhelming news re-covered a layer of memory for players.

Blue Ocean Paradise, the original founder is ‘Warburg Jassy’

By 1995, only a handful of people still remember Carving Xiangyang.

By the turn of the millennium, there was no record of Carving Xiangyang on the market.

As for China itself.

The Internet in China itself was underdeveloped at that time, and Xiangyang really became famous in the United States, so there were almost zero relevant reports in the country.

However, there are a few scattered pieces of information that record some of Ke Xiangyang’s legendary game design journey.

But those materials were news newspapers, and they were published by some new generations in the mainland during the millennium who wanted to open the door to games in China.

However, after the release, the response was mediocre, almost no one paid attention, and the newspaper leaders criticized it for being too lazy to play with things. How could you publish content about the game?

There was no movement after that.

Wait until the game gradually recovers and becomes more active.

There is no such person in the world like Xiang Yang.

However, what makes Kejin more concerned is.

The current situation of Blue Ocean Paradise.

This game company was completely dominated by "Warburg Jassy" in the late 1980s.

It has been on the road to monopoly for a while.

That is, all game companies that want to design the types of games currently on the market need to pay patent fees to Blue Ocean Paradise.

This monopoly did indeed cause Blue Ocean Paradise's stock market to rise sharply, and it became a well-known top enterprise in the United States at that time.

At its peak, it was even on par with Microsoft at that time.

After all, a computer can last a long time.

But the lifespan of a game is not long, and players can play dozens or even hundreds of games on the same computer.

As long as these games are released, they need to pay tribute to their own companies.

Blue Ocean Paradise can be said to be the ultimate ideal form for all capitalists.

But then, came the late 1990s.

The game market has entered an unprecedented cold winter.

The reason is that due to the extreme monopoly, the development limit of game types has been tightly locked.

The themes of the games have not changed over the years, and even the patterns have not changed.

Players are completely bored.

Ke Jin probably thought about it for a while.

Before the establishment of Ready Player One, the Chinese game market didn’t seem so outrageous.

Although almost all games on the market at that time were heavy on krypton.

But at least everyone will change a batch of themes and use it to make money.

In the late 1990s, it was a period of high repetition in the true sense.

At most, I could change the name, change the scene a little, and post it again.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Because of the heavy burden of paying extremely high patent fees.

This makes most game manufacturers completely afraid of trial and error.

Once something goes wrong, it's not just the game development costs that will be lost.

There are also patent royalties.

Even more serious may involve a lawsuit from Blue Sea Paradise.

Three locks in one step made all Western game manufacturers at that time treading on thin ice, not daring to make any big moves.

All we can do is make the same mistakes over and over again, following game themes that have been previously recognized by players, like remakes of old movies and TV shows, over and over again.

What about "New · Dots into Face", "Dots into Face (Remastered Edition)", "Dots into Face (Super Remastered Edition)", "Dots into Face 1999"

Obviously, what Mr. Ke said more than ten years ago is confirmed.

For games, an entertainment that is close to an art form, monopoly will completely ruin the development of the industry.

And Blue Ocean Paradise also went through many shareholder meetings during this period.

The final decision was to abolish game patents.

Starting from the new millennium, all game manufacturers will be allowed to produce game types such as ‘RPG’, ‘ACT’, and ‘FPS’ for free.

The entire Western game market was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, Blue Ocean Paradise is the ultimate form of a combination of capital.

Naturally, it is impossible to let money flow away in vain.

Although they have officially unlocked the patent.

But in reality, they secretly transferred control underground.

Begin to focus on channel monopoly.

In the early stage, we continued to burn money to build a game platform, and invited major manufacturers to settle in for free, and then everyone slowly gathered around.

Start tightening your strategy.

Then they started taking commissions to put the games on their own platforms.

After receiving the commission, they began to maliciously acquire a large number of game manufacturers that were gaining momentum on the market.

And took this opportunity to completely disappear from the players' sight, retreat to the second line, and transform into a behind-the-scenes holding company.

Just like those big consortium-level families, they were playing puppet-style control behind the scenes.

"No wonder I can't hear any news about this company now. It turns out that I'm hiding myself." Ke Jin said in his heart after reading the modern development history of Blue Sea Paradise in one breath.

Moreover, they even formatted the whole thing of ‘hiding’ it.

Don't let any players around the world spy on their tracks.

To attack is also to attack their puppet holding company.

He is completely at large.

If he didn't have the transcendent power of Brother Tongzi.

Ke Jin estimated that he might not be able to obtain information about the behemoth Blue Sea Paradise.

Judging from the fact that he couldn't even find out the news, Ke Jin felt that his father's worries were not unreasonable.

Being able to hide the news to this extent is not something even the ultimate consortium can do.

And when it comes to the level of capital of a super consortium.

It has already begun to override the laws of the United States.

God knows how much money Blue Sea Paradise has made now.

And when Kejin wanted to use Brother Tongzi to see what holding companies were currently exposed in Blue Ocean Paradise.

His brows frowned slightly.

Currently, there are 187 game companies controlled by Blue Ocean Paradise around the world.

Most of them exist independently as small studios and small game manufacturers, and are regarded as independent individuals in the eyes of the outside world.

There are also twenty to thirty medium-sized and large-scale manufacturers, mainly located in the Oumi region.

As the eyes continue to move downward.

Ke Jin's pupils shrank slightly.

The current main money-making forces in Blue Ocean Paradise are three super global companies.

They are——

Wei Wang Flute.

Horizon blizzard.

as well as.

Electronic Arts.

Brother Tongzi is not a grandfather...he is not that bloody.

Brother Tongzi is just a very common system that can be found in many books.

It's just that this book uses the protagonist's inner portrayal to make his image slightly more anthropomorphic.

(That’s it for today, I’ll write more tomorrow to make up for it)
