Chapter 1298: Once Warcraft Comes Out, Who Can Compete with It?

Yang Ming was happy for a while that Yuan Tianfan had recruited a group of chip professional management talents.

Now, Zhang Rujing, Liang Mengsong and others have successfully joined the Hong Kong Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company. In addition to this group of people, Yang Ming soon learned that as Dongyang took the initiative to puncture the economic bubble, Dongyang's real estate and stock markets plummeted, and Dongyang was greatly affected in all aspects.

Among them, the biggest impact was Dongyang's chip market.

In the 1980s, Dongyang's memory chip market share once exceeded that of the United States, but under the sanctions of the United States, the chips of Korea and Taiwan were eventually supported and developed by the United States.

In the 1990s, there was another bubble crisis, which led to a large number of Dongyang chip talents being poached by the Korean chaebol companies.

Now Yang Ming certainly can't give those chaebols in Korea a chance. He has already vigorously tapped Dongyang's chip talents with Li Yongfeng, and poached Dongyang's chip talents to Hong Kong with three times, three times, even five times, and ten times the salary.

He doesn't believe that with the drive of these talents, Hong Kong's science and technology park will not become the world's science and technology center.

Time passed quietly.

It was November 1, 1990.

Today is Thursday.

It is also Halloween in the West.

When the north of China has begun to get cold, Hong Kong is still sunny and the temperature is still around 30 degrees Celsius.

After breakfast, Yang Ming, Alina, and Yingla took a car back to the chairman's office in the Empire Group headquarters building.

Just as He Chaoxun made him a cup of coffee and drank it, Lin Xiuzhi received a call from the Empire Game Company headquarters downstairs.

"Boss, it's Director Xijiao Youhong calling."

Yang Ming was a little excited after answering the call.

It turned out that the large-scale Internet game "Warcraft" that was launched at the beginning of the year has now completed the single-player version of the internal test.

This game, after the efforts of a team of thousands of people, has now been perfectly developed in nearly ten months and has passed internal testing.

Now Xijiao Youhong is notifying Yang Ming to go down and take a look at this game, and strive to officially launch it globally this month or next month.

"Warcraft is out, let's go down and take a look."

Yang Ming also attaches great importance to this game.

After all, this represents the arrival of Internet games.

Although according to the current situation, Internet games are not yet officially launched, but as a stand-alone version, it will definitely shock gamers around the world.

Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxuan, Alina, Yingla and others took the elevator downstairs to the headquarters of Empire Games.

At this time, Tomohiro Nishikado, Akio Nakanishi, Masato Matsushita, Shigeru Miyamoto, Akiyoshi Fujiwara and others were already waiting.

"Boss."

They greeted Yang Ming respectfully.

Then took Yang Ming inside.

At the beginning of the year, three games were established

They are "Warcraft", "Starcraft" and "Diablo".

Among them, although these three games are responsible for the three major teams, Tomohiro Nishikado, Shigeru Miyamoto, Akio Nakanishi and others are the highest responsible persons.

For these three games, they also attach great importance to them.

Because they can see from these games the ambition and ambition of the boss Sir Yang for global games. If those games were launched before, it would have been enough to shock the world and bring endless wealth to Empire Game Company.

Then now these three world-wide games, or games targeting the Internet, are more ambitious for them.

After all, if these games are connected through the Internet, with the world online together, so many players, millions or even tens of millions of players playing together at a time, how amazing it is.

Of course, even if hundreds of thousands or millions of players in the East are playing Warcraft together, it is also very amazing for Western players like Tomohiro.

Moreover, this is a game built on the basis of Western fantasy. In their opinion, the boss is directly targeting European and American players, and even global players.

It can be said that once Warcraft comes out, who can compete with it.

Now, after the Warcraft team of thousands of people cooperated day and night to develop, this stand-alone game has come out, and after the internal test, the internal players all like it very much.

Including people like Nishikado Tomohiro, they usually spend two or three hours every day playing, just to see the problems in it. Unexpectedly, the more they play, the more fun they find it, mainly because the background in it is so grand that they can't finish playing it.

If it was the games launched by Empire Game Company in the past, they would think it was just a small thing, but now it is a game that is really for players to play.

Then he took Yang Ming to a computer.

Insert a Warcraft game card, click to load, and then log in and register.

In fact, this is a stand-alone version because there is no network connection.

Of course, Empire Game now has a regional network, and they can also play together through the regional network, but it is more stuck and not as comfortable as the stand-alone version.

In Yang Ming's opinion, Internet games are actually closely related to the server.

If the server is not good, no matter how good the game is, it will not work.

Like in history, many domestic game agents were scolded by players because of the poor server.

At this time, it is only a stand-alone version.

Yang Ming registered an account of his own very familiarly, and under the watch of others, Yang Ming played there.

They were really surprised.

This boss is so awesome, it doesn't look like he's playing for the first time.

Of course, they knew that the background and structure of this game were designed by the boss. It was normal for the boss to know how to play.

Yang Ming played for half an hour and found that it was still relatively smooth, including doing tasks. It looked similar to the Warcraft he played in college.

However, it was different. The current Warcraft looked more refined, and it was unknown how long it would take for the patches of the Warcraft released by Blizzard in the past to reach this level.

Of course, World of Warcraft is an upgraded version of Warcraft, and Yang Ming felt that he could continue to develop World of Warcraft.

"It's really good."

Now the first global Internet game Warcraft, which was jointly developed by game talents recruited from all over the world with real money, is really very good.

"Boss, does that mean it can be released on the market?" asked Nishikaku Tomohiro.

"Not bad."

"When will Starcraft and Diablo be released?"

The other two games were also developed.

They also passed the internal test. Of course, many people also like Starcraft and Diablo.

"Release one a month."

Yang Ming and them went to the conference room to meet and decide.

On November 11, 1990, the world's first Internet game "Warcraft" was officially released worldwide. However, because the global Internet is still under development, the version released now is only a stand-alone version.
