"Chen Yu, you're too cunning."
"Mr. Zhu, how can you say that?"
"NetEase got screwed over by you."
"That's good, that's good …"
It was a call from the CEO of Nine Cities, Zhu Jun.
After seeing Huanyu Technologies use a series of methods, Zhu Jun felt a chill run down his spine.
Luckily, he didn't fight NetEase to the end.
If he had to fight NetEase to the end, with World of Warcraft as the agent, Chen Yu wouldn't be dealing with NetEase, but with them.
"This, this, Chen Yu, if we have a competition in the future, don't use too much force, okay?"
"Mr. Zhu, you make it sound like I've done something to you."
"You haven't done anything to me, but I'm worried that we might have a competition."
"Don't worry, the gaming market is huge. Even if there is competition, you won't be starving."
"Then why are you screwing over NetEase?"
"I'm not dealing with NetEase, I'm dealing with someone else."
Chen Yu shook his head.
Dealing with NetEase wasn't Chen Yu's goal.
His goal was to deal with Blizzard.
For now, Chen Yu didn't have a direct confrontation with Blizzard.
Chen Yu could only deal with Blizzard's agent, NetEase.
"Someone else?"
Zhu Jun pondered, "Chen Yu, you've got a big appetite."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, that's all."
He hung up the phone.
Zhu Jun turned his gaze to Blizzard's side.
Although Chen Yu didn't say it clearly, he understood Chen Yu's goal.
How could NetEase be Huanyu Technologies' goal?
If it was, then Chen Yu's vision was too narrow.
At Huanyu Technologies' level, Chen Yu would definitely set his sights on a broader area.
In that case, Blizzard was a competitor that Huanyu Technology would have to face in the future.
Although Huanyu Technologies wasn't in a direct confrontation with Blizzard, attacking NetEase was an indirect attack on Blizzard.
The domestic online gaming market was the largest online gaming market in the world.
If World of Warcraft failed in China, it would be a huge loss for Blizzard.
"I really don't know what kind of monster this guy will become in the future."
He looked away from Blizzard.
Zhu Jun sighed.
Back then, he and Chen Yu were still making games.
But in just a few short years, Chen Yu's rise was truly astonishing.
Just like how their ambitions were no longer focused on the domestic market.
However, looking at himself, he could only fight to the death with other companies in the domestic market.
However, Zhu Jun was an optimist.
He knew that he would never be able to catch up with Chen Yu in this lifetime.
But at the same time, he also hoped to see Chen Yu go out of the country one day and compete with countless big shots on the world stage.
…
"Zou Tao, how many people are online at the same time in World of Warcraft?"
After chatting with Zhu Jun, Chen Yu went to the Kyushu OL gaming department.
"NetEase previously revealed that the number was 300,000. Recently, they haven't released the latest number."
"So you're saying that there are still 300,000 people online at the same time?"
"Should be about the same. But our estimate is that it's already below 300,000. It might be around 270,000. "
"Around 270,000."
Chen Yu read out the number, "270,000 online at the same time is not a small number."
270,000 online at the same time wasn't a lot, but 270,000 online at the same time wasn't just 270,000 people playing the game.
There were at least 2 million active players.
Although it wasn't a hit, it wasn't a flop. Moreover, it could still make money.
If it wasn't for World of Warcraft, Chen Yu wouldn't have cared.
The gaming market was so big. How could he be so ruthless? He could give them a portion of the market.
Moreover, Chen Yu couldn't monopolize the entire market.
But World of Warcraft was different.
Chen Yu had to destroy World of Warcraft.
Zou Tao probably understood Chen Yu's intention. He said, "Although we've suppressed World of Warcraft, their R&D ability is very strong. At the same time, they've attracted a lot of hardcore fans. It's basically impossible for them to leave World of Warcraft in a short period of time."
"Mhm."
Chen Yu nodded.
Recently, he realized that Kyushu's popularity was increasing.
But honestly speaking, World of Warcraft was much better in terms of reputation.
Then, Chen Yu asked, "How's the situation of Kyushu OL's overseas dealership?"
It was the same as Blizzard.
Huanyu Technologies had also started Kyushu OL's dealership strategy.
Yes.
Chen Yu's Kyushu R&D wasn't just limited to domestic operations. He also wanted to enter foreign markets.
In fact, with Kyushu's background, it wasn't a problem for him to enter the international market.
However, Zou Tao shook his head. "It's not ideal. So far, we've only signed three dealerships. They are Vietnam, Singapore, and Indonesia."
"What about Japan and Korea?"
"Japan doesn't have a big market for online games. Korea has a lot of games, so the progress in these two places is relatively slow. However, we haven't signed any deals in Europe and America. "
Asia was relatively good. Although not all countries were willing to be dealerships, at least a few of them were.
Moreover, Japan and Korea were more or less interesting.
But in Europe and America, there wasn't much hope.
"Have you done any research?"
"On one hand, it's because of our reputation. On the other hand, they also think that Kyushu's R&D ability isn't as good as World of Warcraft. Moreover, Europe and America already have dealerships for World of Warcraft. In addition, they also saw some online data that we sent to other countries. Their performance is very average. "
The overseas market wasn't as good as the domestic market.
In the domestic market, Huanyu Technologies was strong and used various means to suppress World of Warcraft.
But overseas, there wasn't a company as powerful as Huanyu Technologies.
Naturally, under the conditions of having similar resources and operating methods, World of Warcraft would definitely win.
This made Chen Yu frown.
Blizzard had secretly developed World of Warcraft for four years, and they had such outstanding R&D capabilities.
Their production standards were naturally superb.
To be honest, it was basically unrealistic for Huanyu Technologies to catch up with them in a short period of time.
It was still fine in the domestic market.
But in the international market, Huanyu Technologies couldn't do much.
Of course, if Chen Yu went to various countries and regions and let them operate, Chen Yu really wouldn't be afraid of World of Warcraft.
After all, in Chen Yu's eyes, R&D was very important, but operating standards were even more important.
But there were so many countries in the world. Chen Yu didn't have the time and energy to go all over the world.
Only by handing over the dealerships to game companies in various countries around the world could he maximize his profits.
Moreover, this would also allow him to make more business partners overseas.
Unable to think of a solution, Chen Yu gloomily left the gaming department.
Back in the office, Chen Yu entered World of Warcraft.
He had played World of Warcraft in his previous life. In this life, Chen Yu had also played it some time ago.
There wasn't much difference between the version in this life and the version in his previous life.
Because he had already experienced it, Chen Yu wasn't that excited.
The reason why he played it was to summarize the series of playstyles in World of Warcraft.
After playing for half an hour, Chen Yu felt that something was missing.
He felt that he couldn't experience the essence of World of Warcraft.
It seemed that World of Warcraft in this life was a little different from the one in his previous life.
But after taking a closer look, it seemed to be the same. There wasn't any difference.
Strange.
Chen Yu was a little puzzled.
What went wrong?
Chen Yu couldn't figure it out.
Then, Chen Yu logged into Kyushu.
Something strange happened.
He found that when he played Kyushu OL, he also had the same problem.
It seemed that Kyushu OL was also missing something.
But this was too strange.
If it was World of Warcraft, this would be normal.
Because Chen Yu had played World of Warcraft in his previous life, maybe the version in this life was a little different from the one in his previous life. It was just that he didn't think of it.
But Kyushu didn't have it in his previous life.
But Chen Yu still felt that Kyushu OL was also missing something.
This logic didn't make sense.
But Chen Yu had this feeling.
"Bamboo, do you play World of Warcraft?"
"A little."
Secretary Xia Zhu replied.
Xia Zhu was actually a game fan. She liked all kinds of games.
"Then, between World of Warcraft and Kyushu, which one do you like more?"
"I like both."
"You don't like which one?"
"Maybe other people do. But I think both games are pretty good. World of Warcraft is very detailed. At the same time, the job settings are also very detailed. But I like Kyushu's background better. After all, I've read the original Kyushu. Moreover, there are more people playing it. It's more lively. "
"What else?"
"I don't know."
Although Xia Zhu was a game fan, she wasn't a game expert.
The reason why she liked Kyushu was that there were more people playing it.
Of course, this was also the key to Huanyu Technologies' victory.
Why could Kyushu suppress Warcraft?
It wasn't because Kyushu's research and development level surpassed Warcraft.
It was because there were more people playing Kyushu. That was why Kyushu could suppress Warcraft.
For the people of China, what kind of online game was more fun?
Actually, there was no answer.
If there was an answer, it would be that online games with more people were the most fun.
If there weren't many people playing the online game, no matter how fun it was, people wouldn't believe it.
Huanyu Technologies made use of this point and caught World of Warcraft off guard.
Even if they reacted, it was too late.
But this answer wasn't the one Chen Yu wanted.
Then, Chen Yu entered Kyushu OL.
As soon as he went online, Chen Yu saw people cursing on the World Public Channel.
[King Guild, you're too arrogant. You're dominating the Apocalyptic Lands and forcing everyone to leave. You're scum.]
[Calling them scum is a compliment. The Apocalyptic Lands don't belong to the King Guild. If you don't allow people to complete missions, you'll die a horrible death.]
[Those who don't like the King Guild, join Eternal Kingdom. Eternal Kingdom will bring you to complete missions.]
Chen Yu understood the scolding war on the World Public Channel.
There was a mission to kill a big BOSS in the Apocalyptic Lands.
The big BOSS was occupied by the King Guild, and all gamers who weren't part of the King Guild were forced to leave.
This wasn't new.
Since the birth of online games, he had appeared before.
Especially in the Legend of Mir.
Speaking of which, the boss of the King's Guild, Chen Yu, was very familiar with him.
Chen Yu wanted to privately message the King Guild's Soul, but he gave up the idea.
Those were the rules of the game. It was up to the gamers to make use of the rules.
The game operators wouldn't punish the King Guild.
Chen Yu couldn't get the King Guild's Soul to intervene.
Even if the King Guild's Soul agreed, other Guilds would do the same.
For example, Eternal Kingdom.
Don't think that Eternal Kingdom's recruitment is to fight for justice.
Of course, the game operators could solve the problem.
For example, they could spawn more BOSSes or change the mission mode.
But that wouldn't work.
Once the BOSSes were spawned or the mission mode was changed, it would affect the rhythm of the game.
That wouldn't be beneficial to the development of the game.
It was normal to calm down and think about it.
Not only in the game, but in real life as well, didn't such negative news often appear?
Just as Chen Yu was thinking of not affecting the progress of the game, Chen Yu thought of a solution.
"Instance Dungeon."
If he created an Instance Dungeon, he could solve the BOSSes problem.
The word "Instance Dungeon" appeared.
Chen Yu was overjoyed.
He finally figured out what it was that he had always felt that he was missing.
