To be honest, Paul Allen's dance is not interesting, but Kirilenko is enjoying it. Kirilenko is not looking at the dance moves, but at the dancer, even though the dancer is a man.
After watching the dance, Feng Yu rejected Kirilenko's invitation to Las Vegas. He wants to go to California to visit Blizzard, a subsidiary of Wind and Rain Games. They had just released < Warcraft 3: The Beginning of Chaos >.
In Blizzard, Feng Yu looks at the company's sales report and is satisfied.
These few years, Blizzard's games have been released very fast. After Wind and Rain Games owns the controlling stake, Blizzard has more funds and hired more developers. Their games are developing faster.
Last year, Diablo 2: King of Destruction easily sold more than 3 million copies. With Wind and Rain Games' help, Hua Xia's market expanded.
In the past, Asia's biggest PC game market is not Japan. It's Korea. Just StarCraft alone sold more than 1 million copies in Korea. This number is even higher than North America. No wonder Korea is the strongest Esports player in Feng Yu's previous life.
At that time, Hua Xia's PC usage is not high, especially in households. Also, there is insufficient copyright protection, and most people install pirated games. That's why Hua Xia's games are not selling well in Feng Yu's previous life.
But in this life, Feng Yu increased the crackdown on piracy. He took out a large sum of money to set up rewards for those who report on the production and distribution of pirated products. Those who report on the production and distribution of pirated products will be rewarded. Pirated games often contain viruses and Trojan horses, which will harm the PC's security.
Also, these games are often sold with Lenovo's PC. Although the selling prices are still lower than overseas, there are profits, and people slowly get used to buying the original games.
Pirated and original games are just a matter of habit. Many people do not have the money to buy the original games. It's just that they cannot change their mindset. Others are using cheap pirated games, and they are using the original games.
When Half-life is released, Hua Xia's original games are selling well. The figures are much higher than in Feng Yu's previous life. In his previous life, Hua Xia was known as the nightmare zone for game companies.
It looked like a huge market that far exceeded that of North America. However, the number of games sold in China was less than one-third of that in the United States. Did Hua Xia people really not play games?
Of course not. What they bought were the "cracked versions" sold at the entrance of the Computer City or on the overpass! When it came to cracking other people's technical protection, Hua Xia was a big shot.
At that time, many companies claimed that whoever's software protection program cannot be cracked by Hua Xia will be at the top of the software industry. After all, even Microsoft had not achieved this.
Feng Yu thought, how can it not be cracked? It was simple. After those people cracked the code, there would be no profits. They would also have to know that they would have to bear a huge legal responsibility!
When they have 1,000% profits, they will dare to take the risk. They will sell the discs that cost 2 RMB and sell them for 20 RMB.
However, if the cost of the game disc rose to 5 RMB, and the price of the original game disc was only 30 RMB, their profits would plummet, and they would also know that they would have to bear a high legal liability, and they would hesitate.
First of all, the bonuses they gave to the technicians who cracked the code would not be as high, and the enthusiasm of those people would also be seriously reduced. These technicians were all well-educated. Who wouldn't know that this was illegal?
Of course, some of them will take the risk. After all, there are still profits to be had. But there were not many of them. Feng Yu interfered with those websites that provide pirated software downloads, and most of them were banned.
I don't care if you are doing this for profits. You cannot provide pirated software. It's not like I won't give you a chance to explain yourself. Just delete those downloads and pay the fine.
If you don't pay the fines, your website will be banned for a long time. Why did the higher-ups give Feng Yu face? Money makes the world go round.
Most of the equipment for Hua Xia's Internet Control Department was donated by Feng Yu. After deducting the expenses for the equipment, the remaining staff's salaries are not a big burden. More importantly, the leaders of the related departments are satisfied with the establishment of this department. This is considered a political achievement.
So, the development of Hua Xia's piracy is slower than Feng Yu's previous life. The leaders had not experienced the era of piracy, but Feng Yu knows their work is effective.
With the popularity of the original software, Hua Xia's software development companies have a chance to survive. In the past, they had developed good software, but they could not sell a lot of it. After that, they realized others were using their software.
Now, at least their software can be sold for money. China's biggest software distribution company is Lenovo Kingsoft. They are also China's biggest software development company.
Their anti-virus and office software are ahead of Hua Xia. They are even ahead of Asia and have a certain status in the international market. Their other application software is also doing well, and they had acquired a few smaller software companies because they had developed good applications.
Lenovo Kingsoft's current development model is the same as Microsoft's in the past. Lenovo Kingsoft will do whatever it can. If it cannot do it, it will let others do it, and Lenovo Kingsoft will acquire or merge with them.
Those smaller companies are overjoyed to be able to join Lenovo Kingsoft's family. Furthermore, instead of fighting for an unknown future, they might as well focus on the present and get money first. Furthermore, if they agree to merge with Lenovo Kingsoft, they can get some shares of Lenovo Kingsoft.
Feng Yu is satisfied with Lenovo Kingsoft's development. The only thing he is not satisfied with is the PC operating system. Feng Yu tested the first version of Windows, and it was better than Windows XP. But there was still a gap between Windows 7 and Windows 7.
Also, the compatibility is not good enough. If it is not compatible, how can they take over Microsoft's market share? Customers had a habit. In Feng Yu's previous life, Fruit's computers were able to sell well because of their own software system.
If it is compatible with Win, then it will sell like hotcakes when it is launched. That will be the time when Lenovo Kingsoft rises to the top.
Qiu Bojun and Lei Dajun wanted to launch the operating system now. They want to make money as soon as possible and have more funds to invest into the development. But Feng Yu rejected them. He told them that since they had persisted for the past few years, they will not be afraid to persist for another two years.
After this operating system is launched, it must be an overnight success. The current products are not impressive enough.
When Feng Yu thinks of Microsoft's shocked expression, he felt good. In the future, our Chinese company will be the leader of the software industry!
"Adhan, what is this report about?"
"This is the development plan for a new game. We will name it as – World of Warcraft!"
