China Online Game Market, in 2000, had a total sales volume of 38 million yuan. In 2001, its total sales volume was 400 to 500 million yuan. In 2002, its total sales volume ranged from 900 to 1 billion yuan. In all online games, including Legend, sales are less than the monthly sales of Yin-yang in 2016.
The truth proved that it was very hard to understand.
Wei Dongsheng said confidently: "What is the client's purpose for being free? It was to lower the player threshold and broaden the player base. Abolishing the card time fee would further reduce the player's threshold, further expand the player's base, and then filter out the players who were willing to pay 10,000 or even 1 million yuan for the game. In my eyes, a grand show is nothing, and a grand show is nothing. Even 'Legend' isn't as unsurpassable as you think it is. The goal of "Spring and Autumn" was never to linger around the survival line, nor to make small gains. Our goal is very clear, if we want to do it then we have to become number one in the entire country, directly killing and pulling Enormous Network down. "
Wei Dongsheng loudly announced and proposed the concept of free online games.
First of all, there was no need to be self-absorbed.
Wei Dongsheng was very clear that keeping the information confidential was purely an extravagant hope. Let's continue with the grand discussion with the Netease. The younger brother of Enormous Network's Sect Leader Chen Tianqiao, Chen Danian, dropped out of school to roam the internet and meet many netizens. Wu Yunyang, who had participated in the Netease's journey to the west, was one of them. The Enormous Network turned into an online game and Chen Danian immediately informed Wu Yunyang; the Enormous Network represented the《 Legend》 and Chen Danian immediately informed Wu Yunyang. Because the online time of "Gossip to the West" and "Legend" was very close, Chen was pleased with himself and frequently informed Wu Yunyang about how many people had reached "Legend" online. He also asked him about "Gossip to the West" 's operating data.
In 2002, the online gaming community was very small.
For example, Lan Xiao Quan, who was currently in the role of the Spring and Autumn software, was able to jump from the Eagle to the Netease. During the time that Lan Xiao Quan and his friends were talking, Wei Dongsheng's drive and Wei Dongsheng's concept of free online games would definitely be able to quickly spread to other Game Manufacturers. This kind of radiation does not transfer by the will of an individual.
Secondly, Wei Dongsheng was not afraid to reveal his future, and get copied into the free online gaming concept by other vendors.
Why do you say that?
Because free online games are not free.
Longitudinal comparison, free network game mode who proposed first? It was definitely not "Journey". Although Shi Yuzhu promoted the free online gaming mode, he was not a pioneer who did it for free. Before "Journey", before "Hot Blood and Jianghu", "Giant Business" practiced the free online game mode. However, how many people knew of the title of "The Great Merchant", and what would become of "The Great Merchant"? After the horizontal comparison, the free online gaming model was very popular after "Journey". Whether it was computer client online games or mobile online games, which company could rely on just the word "free" to make a killing on the market?
It is no easier to operate a free online game than it is to operate a time-tolled online game.
No matter how young Wei Dongsheng was, he was still the boss. However, not rebutting and believing were two different things. All the employees present, including Lan Xiao Quan, who was recommended by Jing Minqiang, Hu Shifei, Chang Mingxia who was personally dug up by Wei Dongsheng, treated the words of Wei Dongsheng as a joke that wasn't easy to laugh at in the depths of their hearts. The staff were all muttering to themselves, "Don't say that 'Legend' is a freak that monopolizes 70% of the national market. If 'Spring and Autumn from the Ten Kingdoms' is able to flatten the 30,000 people who are online in 'Gachapon II', a miracle will happen."
Wei Dongsheng did not force the employees to accept his confidence.
Wei Dongsheng's goal had already been achieved.
The purpose of Wei Dongsheng's speech this time was not to convince the staff, but to let them understand the reason behind Wei Dongsheng's determination. It proved that Wei Dongsheng had his own way of thinking and was attempting to open up a new path. The grand declaration of war proved that Wei Dongsheng's confidence and drive were strong and decisive until the Yellow River gave up all hope.
Resigning and finding another path were both more practical than convincing Wei Dongsheng to disperse his indomitable momentum.
The employee did not believe in , but he could leave an impression on Wei Dongsheng: "Little boss, you are very energetic."
However, this was not enough.
A game takes a long time to develop, sometimes not because the code is hard to type, but because many settings require logical closure.
For example, "Miracle MU", whose current popularity was only second to "Legend", could increase its attack power without restraint. The reason was not because of a problem with the battle logic of Miracle MU, but rather a problem with the regulation of skill frequency. The reason was not because of a problem with the battle logic of Miracle MU, but rather a problem with the supervision of skill frequency. How could he avoid such a question? The answer was very simple. It was the game setting that players often used, "Cooldown". With this skill cooldown, players didn't have to worry about changing their skills more frequently.
The life orange algae of the intelligent computer was limited in length, and was unable to perfectly solve the problem of setting up the logical chain on its own. Therefore, the "Ten Kingdoms' Spring and Autumn" needed to be constantly tested internally, discovered the loopholes caused by logic defects and corrected in time. And so on, required a long time to fill in the gaps.
According to the fastest estimate, in March and April next year, "Ten Nations' Spring and Autumn" would only be available for public examination.
This is a vicious circle that leads to failed bankruptcy and disintegration.
Especially with Wei Dongsheng's age, it was very difficult to convince this group of employees to believe him in a predicament, and to create a future with him.
How to trust others?
Wei Dongsheng could only do things, make a career, make a successful career, and make all the people who questioned him to shut their mouths.
As a result, other than the main business of Ten Kingdoms' Spring and Autumn, which was responsible for making money, Wei Dongsheng had also prepared a side business that would quickly attract fame.
Simply put, the Internet environment in 2002 cut the Internet service into four parts.
The first was the search business, where, Google, 3721, Baidu and other top tier players were fighting fiercely. In order to invest in this industry, first, one needed to set up a variety of software and hardware facilities, and the rate of consumption of funds was immeasurable. Secondly, it was very difficult to achieve quick results, and was definitely not a good choice for short and quick projects.
Wei Dongsheng decisively gave up.
The second piece was a portal, where Netease, Seeker and Sina had all formed, and were all much more difficult to reach than the search area.
Let's stop talking and give up.
The third piece is instant messaging. Tencent is a killer product in this area. Give it up.
The fourth is downloading tools, and there are no strong rivals in the country for the time being. The current leader in the field, FlashGet, is old and decrepit.
More importantly, the technology of downloading is now brewing a transgenerational technological revolution. BitTorrent, or Bitstream protocol, is about to emerge and quickly change the download culture of the netizens. Seed files have been on the road ever since. At this moment, as the leader of Hwa Country's download tools, Flash Get did not detect the arrival of P2P (peer-to-peer) and P2SP (peer-to-peer) footsteps, and was simply the most delicious prey.
At that time, Wei Dongsheng had already selected the side business, he was committed to letting the Bitstream protocol appear in advance, and was committed to filling the user's hard disk with seed files in advance.
Downloading tools are less difficult to develop and do not have to address logic defects as early as possible, as in "Ten Kingdoms' Spring and Autumn".
During Wei Dongsheng's production of , he completed the assembly of downloading tools for the client under the assistance of his computer intelligent life blue algae and computer intelligent life orange algae. Wei Dongsheng did not bother to think of a name. Instead, he directly obtained the impression of an endless number of seed files in his previous life and named the download tool "Seed downloading Divine Tool".
The day after the speech, Wei Dongsheng opened a new project in the Spring and Autumn software, and transferred a few employees to be responsible for promoting and operating the "Seed Download Divine Tool". In order to quickly spread the news of downloading the divine tools, Wei Dongsheng bought all sorts of advertising websites. For example, Baidu's bidding rankings. At this time, Baidu had already launched a business model for bidding rankings, and regardless of whether it did something evil or not, the promotion effect was unquestionable. At the same time, his own Privacy s released a website that was also loaded with hooligan advertisements, doing everything he could to advertise and use normal commercial means to download divine tools.
Thanks to advertising throughout the world, more than 8,000 users had joined the game on the day the seed downloads had come online.
The P2P technology was originally an apple that could crush Nokia s. The seed downloading divine tool made by Wei Dongsheng had a technology content that far surpassed that of the Bitstream protocol s in the current era, who were on the verge of completely exploding. The competition between seed downloads and FlashGet was like the Nokia 7650 of the iPhone 700-Plus anal Nokia that came straight to Apple. It was simply not the same product of the same era.
