"Chen Yu, I'm Zhu Jun."
"Mr. Zhu, you haven't called me in a long time."
"I wanted to call you, but I didn't know what to say to you recently."
After the battle between Huanyu Technologies and Microsoft broke out, the companies other than Huanyu Technologies benefited the most.
Just like the players of Fantasy Westward Journey.
At the same time, there were more than three million players online. His total number of players was at least tens of millions.
Now that the number had dropped to one million, the remaining tens of millions of players would inevitably flow to other places.
Undoubtedly, Zhu Jun's Ninth City had gained a lot of benefits.
The games under their management had all reached new heights.
Although it was worth celebrating that his business had reached a new high, Zhu Jun did not know what to say about his relationship with Chen Yu.
But he was a businessman.
It would be a waste if he did not want the popularity that flowed in. If he did not want it, it would be snatched away by other game companies.
"Haha, what's so hard to say? Your games have set new records. I should be happy for you."
"What's there to be happy about? Everyone knows that some of our players came from you."
"What's the big deal? You're not the one who came to snatch my players. Of course, even if you did, as long as you have the ability, I welcome you. "
Although Chen Yu was friends with Zhu Jun, he was very serious about this kind of business competition.
Needless to say, he could not blame Zhu Jun this time.
"Chen Yu, you're so generous."
"What can I do? Fortunately, you guys have benefited. If I get destroyed by Microsoft, you have to help me. "
"Tsk, no matter how bad you are, you're still better than us. But to be honest, Microsoft is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful. Also … "
"Also what?"
"Microsoft sent someone to us today."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't tell you this. You're so smart, so you should know."
"This …"
Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Chen Yu seemed to understand. "They're trying to rope you in?"
"Something like that."
Zhu Jun nodded. "It's not just us. I'm guessing Microsoft has approached other gaming companies as well."
"It seems like Microsoft wants to unite all the other video game companies to destroy us."
"That's what I meant."
"I haven't signed a formal agreement with them yet."
Did Chen Yu figure out Zhu Jun's intention?
He tried to ease Zhu Jun. "Mr. Zhu?
Don't worry, Huanyu Technologies won't die so soon. Was it still the same sentence?
Benefiting others?
I might as well let you guys take advantage of me. "
Chen Yu was very open-minded.
Their battle with Microsoft would not end just like that. They would continue to escalate in the future.
To deal with Huanyu Technologies?
Microsoft would naturally pull in a range of partners that they could work with.
It didn't matter if it was the Ninth City or something else.
In fact?
Even if the Ninth City did not sign any cooperation with Microsoft, it would not be a problem.
The Ninth City would also choose Microsoft.
After all, only the Microsoft faction could make Ninth City better off.
If it were Chen Yu, Chen Yu would do the same.
Zhu Jun made the call because he felt a little guilty.
But Chen Yu did not mind at all.
"Chen Yu, I admire you.
You're still so open-minded even under pressure. "
"How can I do it if I'm not open-minded?
Besides, we don't know if our Huanyu system can be released in the future. We can't force you guys to be our scapegoat. Okay, I know what you mean. Just do what you need to do. "
"Then what about you?"
"My side …"
Chen Yu rubbed his chin. "Microsoft wants to kill me?
It's not that easy. "
After the call with Zhu Jun, Chen Yu called Zou Tao.
Zhang Jianming and Li Kaifu … They came over.
"Mr. Zhu from the Ninth City just called me.
He said Microsoft has contacted them. "
"Microsoft has contacted the Ninth City?"
Zhang Jianming was a little surprised. Then, he realized, "Are they trying to pull the Ninth City to their side?"
"The gaming square belongs to Microsoft?
Microsoft this time?
They're just trying to strengthen their partnership. "
If Huanyu Technologies did not release the Huanyu system?
Huanyu Technologies' games would also be on Microsoft's side.
Why?
That was because their games were built on Windows. They could only distribute their profits based on an operating system like Windows.
But now, Huanyu Technologies had challenged Microsoft's position.
"If that's the case, Microsoft will probably pull in other gaming companies."
Zou Tao's expression darkened. He analyzed, "I wanted to talk to other gaming companies and see if I could persuade them to release a Huanyu system version of their games. But now, it seems impossible. "
"It's impossible to begin with."
Chen Yu did not care much about this. "It's costly to develop a version of a large-scale online game specifically for a certain system. We've only developed two versions of our own system. We wouldn't do this if it were another system. "
"Boss Chen, since Microsoft has contacted other gaming companies, does this mean that Microsoft will target our games?"
Li Kaifu asked.
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded solemnly. "If Microsoft dares to ban us once, they'll ban us twice, three times, four times … In fact, all of our online gaming businesses will be banned by Microsoft."
This would have the most serious consequences.
Once all of Huanyu Technologies' online gaming businesses were banned, Huanyu Technologies' profits and cash flow would be greatly affected.
"Boss Chen, Li Nan said that he can cooperate with the company at any time."
Zhang Jianming was hesitant, but he still said it.
"Tell Li Nan not to do anything."
Chen Yu shook his head. "We seem to have monopolized the instant messaging market, but if there's a problem, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Yu naturally understood what Li Nan wanted to do.
That was to fight Microsoft to the death.
If Microsoft dared to ban Huanyu Technologies' games, then Huanyu Technologies would announce that YY would not support Microsoft's system.
With YY's influence, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Windows.
But once they did this, it would be equivalent to dragging YY into this battle.
Once YY could not be logged into Windows, a series of other instant messaging platforms would appear.
Microsoft's MSN, Mobile's QQ, NetEase's Bubble … Sina's UC. These instant messaging platforms that had been defeated before would all rise.
This was actually a little like the battle between QQ and 360.
Which was more important, QQ or 360?
Naturally, QQ was more important, so more people might choose QQ. Of course, QQ would also be greatly damaged.
So, which was more important, YY or Windows?
Without a doubt, Windows was more important than YY.
If even the operating system was gone, how could they play YY?
As for changing the system?
It was not as simple as deleting 360.
Ordinary players would not be like the owner of an internet cafe, who would create a dual system in order to make money.
Perhaps there were some who would, but after all, they were in the minority.
If they really did that, Huanyu Technologies would suffer too great a loss.
"Boss Chen, are we going to just let Microsoft ban our games?"
Zou Tao was extremely unwilling.
They had done such a good job making games, but if they were banned, they would be beaten back to their original state.
Fortunately, Boss Chen was unique and had set up Huanyu's system a few years ago.
If not for this system, their entire gaming business would be finished once Microsoft banned them.
"What else can we do? Microsoft's Windows has monopolized the market."
Chen Yu smiled and said.
"Boss Chen … you."
Zhang Jianming was dumbfounded.
He really wanted to say, 'What kind of situation are you in? How can you still laugh?'
"What about me? Didn't I say that since we decided to PK Microsoft, we have to pay the price? Otherwise, if Microsoft can be destroyed with a single touch, then Microsoft will be too easy to challenge. However, there's no need to be so disheartened. You know, we had nothing in the past, but didn't we still survive? Now that you have this and that, why are you feeling depressed instead? "
"I don't think the current situation is a bad thing. At least, Microsoft still doesn't dare to touch our instant messaging. This also proves their concerns. Microsoft also knows that they can't destroy us all at once. At the same time, they are also worried that banning us will affect their Windows business. So, they can only vent their anger on our online games. On the surface, it looks like we have suffered a great loss, but I feel that Microsoft can't do much to us anymore. I feel that Microsoft is riding a tiger now, and they can only continue to ban our games to force us to admit defeat. But … what if we continue to make our games? "
"Boss Chen, what do you mean?"
"I mean, we can ignore everything in the past and just focus on making games. Then, we can continue to make games now. "
"But Microsoft can ban our games at any time."
"Then, we will release a Huanyu System version of our games in the future."
"This …"
"Why can't we?"
Chen Yu looked at everyone.
Although Huanyu Technologies had always been at a disadvantage in the competition with Microsoft, they still had some strength.
The rarest thing was that Huanyu Technologies managed to protect the internet cafe market.
One must know that Huanyu Technologies's rise in the past started from the internet cafe market.
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to understand, Chen Yu continued, "Let me ask everyone a question. Why is Microsoft stronger than us?"
"Because Microsoft's Windows has monopolized the entire market."
"What right does Windows have to monopolize the market?"
"Their entire ecosystem is bigger than ours."
"Who can tell me, what is the biggest ecosystem of China's internet?"
"Games, the gaming ecosystem."
Zou Tao stood up agitatedly. "Boss Chen, the biggest ecosystem of China's internet is the gaming ecosystem. Among the total number of online users, half of them are online gamers. "
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded happily. "Zou Tao is right. Last question, who is the real overlord of China's online gaming industry? "
"We, we, Huanyu Technologies."
Everyone said in unison and with determination.
