Chapter 1237: Developing World of Warcraft

To be honest, Paul Allen didn't look good dancing at all, but Kirilenko watched it with gusto. What he looked at was not the dance, but the dancer, although it was a man.

After watching the dance, Feng Yu declined the invitation to go to Las Vegas with Kirilenko. He is going to California to visit the Blizzard game company under Fengyu Games, which has just launched "Warcraft" :3: The Beginning of Chaos".

When he arrived at Bakuxue, Feng Yu was very satisfied when he looked at the company's sales report.

In the past few years, Blizzard's game launch speed has also been very fast. After being controlled by Fengyu Games, it has more sufficient funds and recruited more game developers, and the game development speed is getting faster and faster.

Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, which was launched last year, easily sold 3 million sets. Due to the stormy game push, the Chinese market has been further opened up.

Previously, the largest PC game market in Asia was not an island country, but South Korea. StarCraft alone easily sold millions of sets in South Korea, which even surpassed North America. It's no wonder that in e-sports in previous lives, South Korea was always very strong, and many people played in them.

At that time, Huaxia was limited by the low computer penetration rate, especially the low household penetration rate, and the lack of copyright protection. Most people installed pirated games, so the previous life games did not sell well in China.

And in this life, Feng Yu stepped up the crackdown on piracy, provided a lot of money to offer rewards, and anyone who reported the production and sale of pirated copies could get a good reward. Moreover, the promotion of pirated discs often contains viruses and Trojan horses, which endangers computer security.

Moreover, these game discs are often bundled with Lianxiang's computers. Although the price is generally lower than that of foreign countries, it is still profitable, and it also makes people get used to it and buy genuine products.

To put it bluntly, this pirated version and the genuine one are a matter of habit. It's not that many people have no money to consume genuine products, it's just that they can't change their minds. Others use cheap pirated versions, but if I use genuine products, it's a loss.

When Half-Life was launched, the sales of Huaxia's genuine discs were pretty good, definitely much higher than the figures in the previous life. In the previous life, Huaxia was known as a nightmare area for game companies.

Looking at the huge market, far surpassing North America, but every time you sell a genuine game CD, it is still less than one-third of that in the United States. Don't Chinese people really play games?

Of course not, but what they bought was the "cracked version" sold at the gate of the computer city or on the overpass! In terms of cracking other people's technical protection, Huaxia is a master.

Many companies claimed at that time that if anyone's software security protection program could not be cracked by the Chinese market, then he would be able to stand at the pinnacle of the software market. After all, even Microsoft failed to do this.

Feng Yu thought about it, how can it not be cracked? Simple, that is, after letting those people crack it, there is no profit, and let them know that they will bear a lot of legal responsibility!

When they have a profit of 1,000%, then of course they dare to take the risk and sell the CD for 2 yuan for 20 yuan.

But if their disc cost rises to 5 yuan at this time, and the price of the genuine game disc is only 30 yuan, their profits will drop severely, and they also know that they will bear extremely high legal liabilities, so they will hesitate up.

First of all, they will not pay dividends to those technicians who do the cracking, and the enthusiasm of those people will also be seriously reduced. May I ask these technicians are not badly educated, who doesn't know that this is breaking the law?

Of course, there are still some desperate ones, after all, it is still profitable. But after all, there are not so many such people. Some websites that blatantly provide pirated software downloads have been blocked under Feng Yu's intervention.

Regardless of whether you want to make a profit, it is not okay to provide pirated copies.

It's not that you won't be given a chance to defend yourself, just delete those downloaded resources and pay a fine.

If you don't pay the fine, the website will be blocked for a long time. Why do you think the higher-ups are giving Feng Yu face so much? Money can turn ghosts around.

Most of the equipment in Huaxia's network monitoring department was donated by Feng Yu personally. After excluding the expenditure on these equipments, the remaining staff salary expenditure is not a big burden. More importantly, the leaders of the relevant departments are also very satisfied with the establishment of such a department. This is also their political achievement, isn't it?

Therefore, the development speed of China's piracy in recent years has lagged behind that of the previous life. The leaders have not experienced the era of rampant piracy, but Feng Yu knows that the work of these people is still very effective.

The popularization of genuine software has also given Huaxia companies that actually do software development the soil to survive. Even if they developed good software before, but they couldn't sell much, they found that others were using it.

Well now, at least their software can be sold to make money. The largest software agency sales company in China is Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company, which is also the largest software development company in China.

Not much to say about anti-virus software and office software, leading China, even leading Asia, and also has a certain status in the world. The development of other application software is also very good, and several small software companies have been acquired because they have developed good application software.

Even thinking about Yinshan’s development method at this time, it is the previous model of Microsoft. If you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself.

Those small companies are very happy to join the big family of Lianxiang Yinshan. What's more, if you are fighting for an unknown future, it is better to focus on the present and get the money first. What's more, if you agree to the merger, you can also exchange some shares of Lianxiang Yinshan. This dividend is not low.

Feng Yu is quite satisfied with the development speed of Lianxiang Yinshan. The only thing he is not satisfied with is the development of the personal pc operating system. At this time, a first-generation version was produced, and Feng Yu tried it out. It is indeed better than winxp, but it is also limited. There is still a gap between win7 and what he said.

And the compatibility is not good enough. If it is not compatible, how to annex Microsoft's market? Users have inertia, and Guoguo's computers in previous lives have always been selling well, which has a lot to do with their own software systems. △≧miào△≧bi△≧gé△≧

If it is compatible with the win system, then this operating system will definitely sell like crazy after it goes on the market, and that will be the moment when Lianxiang Yinshan will really rise.

Both Qiu Bojun and Lei Dajun wanted to release it now, to make money one day earlier, so as to have more sufficient funds to invest in product research and development. Feng Yu refused, telling them that since they have persisted for several years, they are not afraid to persist for another two years.

After this operating system is launched, it must be a blockbuster. The current products are not amazing enough.

Thinking about Microsoft's shocked look at that time, Feng Yu felt extremely relieved. The leader of the software industry in the future should also be our Huaxia company!

"Adham, what is the latter report?"

"It's a development plan for a new game, we'll name it—World of Warcraft!"
