"Mr. Gu, long time no see."
"Mr. Lei, hehe, long time no see indeed."
"How is it? I heard that Mr. Gu is in charge of Sohu's gaming department?"
"Don't mention it."
Gu Yongqiang met a person today.
This person was Lei Jun, the CEO of Jinshan Company.
Yes.
Lei Jun was Lei Jun, who would be called Lei Jun in the future.
Lei Jun graduated from the computer science department of Wu Province University. He was an influential figure in the university.
Later, he used technology to decrypt Jinshan's WPS. The founder of Jinshan, Qiu Bojun, was very interested in Lei Jun.
He invited Lei Jun to have a meal. During the meal, he recognized Lei Jun's talent and invited him to join Jinshan.
Relying on his outstanding talent, Lei Junzhi became the president of Jinshan after joining the company.
"Hehe, aren't online games quite profitable? Why? Looking at Mr. Gu's expression, it seems like you've encountered some trouble?"
"Sigh, it's a long story."
Gu Yongqiang took a sip of tea. "I have seen a lot of storms in Sohu over the years. But I didn't expect to stumble when I was in charge of the gaming department."
Now, Gu Yongqiang was under a lot of pressure.
Although Zhang Chaoyang, the CEO of Sohu, had always trusted Gu Yongqiang, it was useless if he couldn't produce results.
So, he made an appointment with Lei Jun.
With a flip, he roughly told Lei Jun about the recent events.
Lei Jun, who was at the side, found it interesting and laughed from time to time.
Lei Jun was especially interested in the activation code mentioned by Gu Yongqiang. "Activation code, hehe, I didn't expect it to be used like this."
Lei Jun naturally knew about the activation code.
Jinshan Company was the first software company in the country to use the activation code.
For example, their WPS and so on used the activation code.
But their WPS used the activation code only to prevent piracy of WPS.
He didn't expect that the activation code could be used in online games. And the effect was so explosive.
"That company 5173 is quite interesting. Once the activation code was released, it changed the closed beta that everyone could take the test to a certain qualification. With such qualification, it stimulated the players' yearning for the game. It made the players feel that the closed beta was sacred and not everyone could take part in it. Thus, it further promoted the popularity of the game. "
Lei Jun was a big shot.
Before the big shots became famous, Lei Jun had been in the IT industry. He could be said to be the senior of many big shots.
However, the IT industry was changing too quickly.
Especially after the Internet, the entire industry changed all of a sudden.
It turned out that the method of only relying on writing software to sell money had been somewhat outdated, but Lei Jun, who had a good grasp of the market, put his eyes on the online game. During this period of time, Jinshan had also prepared an online game and planned to launch it on the market next year.
Gu Yongqiang only said it, but Lei Jun saw through the knack of it.
"President Lei is really perceptive. I have to say that 5173 does have some skills. I underestimated him before. By the way, I heard that President Lei, your West Mountain Residence is also going to enter the online gaming industry? "
"I do have that thought."
Lei Jun didn't hide it. This matter had long been spread out. He said, "What's the most profitable thing in the country now? Chen Tianqiao has already told us."
Although Jinshan was a well-known company, it was one of the top software giants in the country.
But it was useless for software giants to not make money.
Although their WPS was a national office software brand, they had never been able to compete with Microsoft's Word.
Although Jinshan was still a software giant in the country, to be honest, they were living in poverty.
Suddenly seeing online games make so much money, it was impossible for Jinshan not to have any ideas.
Moreover, West Mountain Residence Game Studio under Jinshan company started making games a few years ago.
But at that time, they were making standalone games, and it sold well at first.
But later there were pirated games, and standalone games were not easy to sell.
But although standalone games were not easy to sell, now online games were up.
Online game technology was actually not much different from standalone game technology, and it didn't even need to be so complicated.
He only needed to connect to the Internet, and a standalone game could become an online game.
Therefore, Jinshan wanted to turn the standalone game of West Mountain Residence Studio into an online game.
Lei Jun said honestly, "Swordsman Love has been making standalone games before, and we intend to launch an online version of Swordsman Love."
"Great, I am a fan of Swordsman Love. Swordsman Love can be said to be one of the most popular games in the country. If an online version is launched, it will definitely be popular. "
"You can't say that. Swordsman Love was originally a standalone game. Now it has become an online game. We are not sure whether it will succeed or not."
"Mr. Lei is modest. Our Sohu's most anticipated online game list, your Swordsman Love Online Version is first, dozens of times away from the second place."
"Hehe."
Lei Jun said with a wry smile, "I haven't made any money in the game for so many years, but I didn't expect to earn a lot of reputation."
"Reputation is also money. Once the online version of Swordsman Love is released, I believe it will definitely be popular."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Speaking of which, Lei Jun was actually looking forward to the online version of Swordsman Love. However, Lei Jun has always been a person who strives for perfection. Although he hopes that the online version of Swordsman Love will be released as soon as possible, according to the process, the earliest would be next spring.
"By the way, Mr. Lei, have you started the publicity of Swordsman Love?"
"Not yet. We expect to test it next year. There is still time."
"Mr. Lei, I think you should warm it up now."
"Oh?"
"The online game industry is a new industry, and everyone is very receptive to new things. Previously, the legend was so popular, and recently, the popularity of the miracle has surpassed the legend. Warming it up as soon as possible can also hold the expectations of the players. If we advertise it next year, I'm afraid the time is too short. "
"That's true."
Lei Jun nodded.
"Hehe, then Mr. Lei, how about we, Sohu, exclusively help you advertise the online version of Swordsman Love?"
"This."
"Mr. Lei, don't worry. I'm talking about Sohu, not just Sohu Games Department."
Knowing that Sohu Games Department 17173 is not as good as 5173, Gu Yongqiang added another sentence.
"Okay."
After thinking for a while, Lei Jun nodded.
Although 17173 is not as good as 5173, if there is a whole Sohu portal promotion, it is not worse than 5173.
In addition, there is Gu Yongqiang, an old acquaintance, I believe the promotion will not be bad.
Although he said so, Lei Jun still said, "But Mr. Gu, at present, I am not in charge of West Mountain Residence. I can only agree to your request verbally. As for the formal contract, I have to wait until next month to take charge of West Mountain Residence. "
At present, Lei Jun is the president of Jinshan.
Although Lei Jun intends to enter the online game field, he is not in charge of West Mountain Residence for the time being.
Of course, the board of directors has already met and said their intention. Lei Jun will be transferred to West Mountain Residence next month and take over the game department. After that, he just needs to go through the procedures.
"Haha, Mr. Lei is modest again. It's just a matter of a sentence, I understand."
Getting Lei Jun's promise, Gu Yongqiang is overjoyed.
Getting the promotion of Swordsman Love is equivalent to getting the activation code of Swordsman Love.
In a few days, he is ready to throw out the activation code of Swordsman Love and kill 5173's prestige.
He believes.
