Chapter 257

As mentioned before, the record of online peak of players was created on the day when uo opened its service in North America in 1998, which has not been shaken for nearly two years.

Although many players and online game practitioners are very clear, with the popularity of the Internet and the development of online games, this record will be broken sooner or later.

However, in their imagination, the record should be broken in North America, Europe, or Japan and South Korea with relatively developed networks.

However, no one ever thought it would be in China, a poor country with an Internet penetration rate of less than 3%.

What is more unexpected is that it will make the predecessors die in such a posture, a posture that makes all foreign manufacturers fear.

It's unreasonable!!

Yes, although we have shouted the slogans of "building a well-off society in an all-round way" and "striving for China's prosperity and strength", there are some signs of China's future towards a big and powerful country.

However, prejudice still exists in the eyes of the West and even our East Asian neighbors.

Poverty and backwardness, even the image of ignorance, are still deeply rooted.

For the Internet, which is fashionable and full of science and technology, at least in the eyes of ordinary foreign people, China should not have the Internet.

......

As of February 6, 8 p.m. on New Year's day.

The number of online users of legend has finally reached its peak. 264 groups of servers are popular all over the line and are basically full.

Tang Haichao and Xiao Ma, who came from Guangdong, magic capital and capital, rushed to Sanshi company and saw such data with their own eyes. The whole person was stupid.

"Oh, shit!!" Tang Haichao sighed with only these two words left, and his eyes changed when he looked at Qi Lei.

How did this grandson do it!? Didn't public opinion collapse?

In fact, several dads nearby don't want to ask this question. What's going on? Why... The more you scold, the more you scold?

This is completely illogical.

Well, it's true that the discipline development has not yet reached that stage. The logic in this era has not even formed a discipline.

In Qi Lei's own words, don't underestimate the application of journalism. It's not just as simple as writing a manuscript.

To exaggerate, this is an integrated application of the known social sciences of mankind, and a comprehensive selection of politics, culture, history, psychology, philosophy and sociology.

To be more specific, compared with the western theory of public opinion guidance, China's news discourse power is actually limited. Don't say what it is.

There are various factors of culture and political system.

......

The West advocates the so-called free culture, self-expression and individual thinking.

Therefore, if a news event causes a sensation in the west, the vast majority of people will be willing to express their personal wishes and express personalized views.

In other words, just watching news comments and public reactions can really reflect the views of all levels on a matter.

But in China, this popular opinion poll in the west is a little acclimatized, at least not so accurate.

First, there are cultural differences.

At present, the Chinese people in this era are modest and implicit. Our culture advocates the Oriental philosophy of not speaking, believing and listening.

In addition, the Internet has just begun to popularize, and only some relatively young and open people have access to the network, which does not represent the general cognition of the society.

The results are good and bad.

The bad thing is that the well-known culture and a small number of people represent China.

In those days, such remarks as "Japanese primary school students", "Japanese toilet water can be drunk", "craftsman spirit", "scenery in the Western subway" and "the root of the Chinese nation" prevailed.

A few people can mislead hundreds of millions of Internet users with just one blog.

But do you think the Chinese are so ignorant? Haven't been abroad and don't know anything?

Ordinary people may be like this, but the government, a considerable number of scholars and so on are clear. That's pure nonsense.

But, [a leaf knows autumn]: ha ha!! Isn't it the roast wing restaurant opposite Beiguang? No, but I pass there every day.

[226 hostess 2]: you may not believe it. I was there that day. I sat next door and heard it. I thought it was some old men bragging!!

[colorful world]: Lucky upstairs! Come on, who's the most handsome?

......

Jin Yongmin, they are not going to turn over the comments before they see half of them. They can only say that Qi Guodong's writing is a little strong!

Keep looking down.

......

"We disagree!"

"We should not only change the game and do a good job in operation, but also try the operation path in line with China's national conditions."

"To tell you the truth, the point card operation mode may be very reasonable abroad. Maybe in the future, after the Chinese people become rich, there will be no problem."

"But for the moment, we think it is unreasonable."

"The game expenditure of tens of yuan or even hundreds of yuan every month is too extravagant for a considerable number of players. Moreover, is the game really only operated by point card?

"Therefore, we are looking for change and a business model that Chinese people can afford and game companies can also make profits."

"The scheme of free operation and value-added charging came into being."

"This plan is very risky. No one likes it, including our own colleagues."

"Only brother Ma, Lao Ding, Lao Wang, Lao Tang and Lao Chen, and a few people firmly believe in the feasibility of the scheme."

"Even if you finally make up your mind and risk your life, the opinions given by most people are to promote it quietly. Don't use it in the early operation, it will cause trouble."

"Many peers will not understand our intentions, but will think that this is No. 17 East Street lifting the table and undermining the market."

"However, the ambition of a gentleman is to face the blue sea and the sky at dusk!"

"Be magnanimous and fearless, and come safely!"

"Since you want to do it, why look forward and backward? So..."

"So I was scolded!"

"It's really miserable. I'm about to be beaten as a traitor. I don't dare to surf the Internet these days. No matter how thick skinned I am, I can't resist the curse on the screen."

"However, fortunately, we survived. We were not knocked down. We... Are still the ones with dreams!"

"We waited until the day when legend went online."

"I want to thank all the legend players here. You are the driving force for us to adhere to!"

"Thank you, brother Ma, Ding Lei, Wang Zhendong, Tang Haichao, Chen Fangzhou and Lei immortal. Your fight with your life has kept Sanshi company alive and legend alive."

"Thank those who slander us. Your slander makes us more firm."

"Thank you..."

"Thank you!!"

"I wrote this open letter today, not only for thanks, for remembrance, but also for the stubbornness of No. 17 East Street and the grievance of the cow x who blew after drinking!"

"Stubborn is: not satisfied!! never satisfied!"

"The boaster X: we want to be the boss!!"

"And today, we did it!"

"Legend went online one day and handed in a satisfactory answer. As of 10 a.m. on February 7, 2000, legend had 1.75 million registered users! The peak online players on the first day were 159w! The average number of online players in 24 hours was 940000!"

"As of 10:00 on February 7, there were 400000 paying users, contributing 1.92 million value-added charges, and the recharge income was more than 46.8 million!"

"As of 10 a.m. on February 7.

Client server attacks in 24 hours: 387843 times!!

Intercept abnormal packets: 85412 times!

The server client has crossed the security barrier: 0 times! "

"We did it!

Our attempt succeeded!

Our stubbornness has thus become our slogan——

No, take it! "

————On the second day of the first month of the year of Gengchen, [a dream of 900 million girls] was held at the headquarters of Harbin Sanshi company.

[at this time, brother Ma and Lao Ding are all around me. On behalf of those old friends, I wish everyone:

Happy new year, always stubborn!]

......

“......”

“......”

“......”

This open letter plunged the whole network into a brief silence.

Jin Yongmin, Jiang Mingsheng, and Harold all stared at the numbers on the screen with their pupils dilated.

......

"What about the previous clamor? Where is the one that destroys the Chinese market? Let's see what dissatisfaction is!"

......

"I'm a server agent. Let's say something professional about this security and this carrying capacity. I can only say that Sanshi's server is invincible and it's not too much to go global alone!! compared with a rough 2D game production, this is the real cow X! Don't say that people have no technology and lose face!!"

......

"This is just the beginning! Look forward to the rise of No. 17 East Street! Look forward to the rise of Chinese games!"

......

"Not satisfied!! not satisfied!"

......

"Someone knows the truth. I can't imagine what kind of server erection can provide such carrying capacity, and what algorithm can make the security of the server so high. It's chilling!"

......

The one-sided comment is the exact opposite of yesterday.

Three stone company, No. 17 East Street and Chinese game manufacturers have received much slander and abuse before, and now they have received much praise and support.

And those foreign companies and media people who provoked the incident also have to bear much anger.

Lao Qin suddenly realized a problem, a very serious problem, that is:

The times have changed. The era of going straight to the right and wrong has gone forever. Now is the era of network, the era of national wisdom, and the era of information explosion.

The war of public opinion, cultural export, cultural defense, and even the social impact of folk culture are bound to change the idea of the world.

"We" can no longer think about problems according to the original survival logic.

Like the competition in the game industry of Sanshi company, on the surface, it is the commercial struggle of several businessmen. However, in fact, the cultural differences between the East and the west, the attitude of Chinese netizens towards open media events and their inconsistent actual reactions are all problems worth pondering.

Should we plan ahead in this regard before the West reacts? Ahead of time?

Lao Qin felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Qi Lei when he had time. This guy directed the big play, so he should have the most experience.

However, before looking for Qi Lei, Lao Qin also knew that the boy had been wronged for such a long time. Should he be compensated?

......

——————

Across the ocean.

Westerners don't have the keen sense of smell of Lao Qin. They are struggling with another thing.

Tripp Hawkins, President of EA, stayed up all night and has been paying attention to the battle in the Chinese market.

A few hours ago, Harold had reported to him on China's war situation, and Hawkins was ready for result of the not suppressing Sanshi company.

However, after he received the data of Sanshi company sent by origin to the mailbox, Hawkins still looked at the email in a daze and remained silent for a long time.

For him, he saw not only the inclination of public opinion, but also the desperate number of online players of Sanshi company, but other things.

For example, nearly 400000 hacker attacks did not defeat the three stone server.

For example, 264 regional services can withstand 1.59 million peak congestion!?

Moreover, Hawkins learned from Harold that there was no server jam.

How strong is this server technology!?

It even made Hawkins jealous.

Yes, jealousy!

You know, EA has the most advanced 3D engine and the world's top game production team.

However, things are short and long. EA's server technology is terrible.

Not fit to be seen in the UO, make complaints about the most unfamiliar servers in the "UO". The most important thing is the server Caton.

Can Hawkins not be jealous when he sees such an excellent server?

Moreover, there is one of the most important reasons that Hawkins can't let go, that is, just look at the products of EA company.

"Top flying car", "FIFA Football Manager" and "nbalive95", EA can be said to be the overlord of competitive stand-alone games at present.

Although it has dominated this category, EA does not have the ability to show the greatest charm of competitive games, that is, online combat.

Imagine that two users from the Internet staged a war between the world's top teams through a platform, rather than being limited to one game console and two handles

That's Hawkins' ultimate dream.

Unfortunately, EA's server technology is really rotten, and Hawkins's inability to make complaints about it greatly restricts the development of the company.

After pondering for a long time, Hawkins made an overseas call to Harold, "stop the attack on the legend server immediately. I'll go to China next week!"

Meanwhile, Mike Mohan, the founder of Blizzard Entertainment, looked at the night in Irvine and was also lost in thought.

Just now, he also received relevant mail from Chinese mainland.

Supporting more than 6000 people online at the same time has not reached the limit, and the security is solid.

Such a server architecture can be said to be the dream of every game company and even every Internet company.

Blizzard spends tens of millions of dollars and countless efforts on server architecture R & D and maintenance every year, but it is still impossible to get this perfect server in a short time.

Although the server setup of battle. Net has been relatively leading, it can't be compared with that of Sanshi company.

Later, Mike Mohan learned the whole story of the scuffle between the four schools and the cooperation concept and composition of No. 17 East Street in detail.

Finally, Mike Mohan called the head of Blizzard public relations.

"Write a press release immediately. Blizzard apologized for the previous hasty remarks. Sanshi company is a respected peer with amazing core technology, and Chinese players are also a player group worth fighting for."

Blizzard must make a remedy, because this incident also let Mike Mohan see the potential of China's game market.

It's only one day. It's more than 47 million RMB. It's terrible!

Put down the phone, Mohan pondered for a while.

"No, I'm going to China."

Blizzard must get Sanshi's server technology and even layout in the Chinese market in advance, even if it pays a large patent royalty to Sanshi.

Mohan thought.
