Chapter 429: Why don’t we make one ourselves
Everyone who plays games has been exposed to game cheats either actively or passively.
Domestic players first learned about plug-ins from stand-alone modifiers. The most famous one at that time was Kingsoft Ranger.
Game cheats began to spread in China in 2001. As the online game industry continues to grow in China, cheats have gradually evolved and developed from the initial "auxiliary tools" into a large-scale black and gray industry chain.
The early online game R&D teams lacked technical skills and experience, and did not know much about cheating. There was almost no prevention in anti-cheating. Coupled with the low operational level, this also led to many game cheats. flood.
How bad can some online games be?
Some online games can use stand-alone modifiers such as "Jinshan Ranger" to modify the number of props, without even the most basic server verification.
In some online games, even players who normally don’t cheat can’t survive, forcing players to cheat.
The operation was very strict when it came to banning cheats, and many players were accidentally banned. As a result, the angry players gathered together and smashed the online game company.
Some online games can even be said to be dead at the hands of plug-ins.
For game developers and operators, plug-ins are parasites that live on them and constantly steal their profits.
Therefore, game officials will take a firm stance against cheating and adopt various means, including technical prevention and offline physical attacks.
However, this kind of gray and black industry has been banned repeatedly and cannot be eradicated from its roots.
As long as the game official relaxes a little, the cheats will become active.
It can't be defeated, and it's troublesome to prevent it, which gives the game officials a headache.
Some people even said in a self-deprecating way that the presence of cheats shows that our games are popular, and a game that is going to die does not have cheats.
From the very beginning of the project, Qin Shaoyan had discussed in detail the issue of preventing cheats with Fan Xiaoqian and others.
Qin Shaoyan talked to Fan Xiaoqian about the characteristics and types of plug-ins based on many years of experience.
Fan Xiaoqian has taken a lot of technical precautions, but it’s hard to say how effective this is.
He was not surprised at all when he heard the news from Xiong Jiajia that someone paid a lot of money for a cheat. This was all expected.
Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "Please help me keep an eye on this matter. It's best to get inside them and get information about the producer."
"What are you doing, playing Infernal Affairs." Xiong Jiajia He suddenly became excited, rubbed his hands and said, "If If I can find this person, can I take action?"
"Get out of here!" Qin Shaoyan glared at him, "We are serious businessmen. If anything needs to be resolved through law, we still have to deal with it every day. Thinking about beating people.”
"Hey, it's boring." Xiong Jiajia thought for a moment, "Then I'll let the guys from our studio keep an eye on it. As long as I inquire carefully, I'm sure I can find out. It's just a matter of spending some money."
"If you are like this, you should first find a few If you are a legendary plug-in agent, get close to them first." Qin Shaoyan began to make suggestions, "They must have their own circles and channels. If there is news, they will definitely get it first. You can find a way to squeeze into this circle."
"Tell them that you want to be the general agent of plug-ins in the Mainland. You can buy them out at a fixed price of one million."
"One million? You are just fishing." Xiong Jiajia was a little uninterested, "Can they Are you fooled?”
“Isn’t this just for money? Well, there must be some who can't help it." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Catch as many as you can, kill as many chickens as possible to scare them."
The Internet Association once issued a report, People engaged in this industry are basically young people, with an average age of 23 years old.
Based on Qin Shaoyan’s many years of experience in contact with plug-ins and studios, the plug-in producers may be a little older, but those who work as agents and distributors are all young men in their 18s and 19s.
These people are fearless, and their social experience is very simple.
In the early days, most of the people working in this industry were in China. Later, after being hit continuously, most of the plug-in producers went outside, and only those who were agents and distributors were still in the country.
"Besides the plug-in, you have to keep an eye on one thing for me." Qin Shaoyan warned again, "Please pay more attention to the gold-making studio."
"The gold-making studio Do you want to be on guard too?" Xiong Jiajia was a little surprised, "Isn't the impact too large?"
" You know what the heck, gold dealers will also destroy the game's ecology, and besides, they won't share the money with me, so why should I coddle them?" Qin Shaoyan snorted, "They have also violated the interests of the majority of players and suppressed them. The price of gold has monopolized the market, making it impossible for ordinary players to reap the dividends of rich people.”
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Xiong Jiajia didn't care about the life or death of these people. He just did what Qin Shaoyan said.
The two of them had snacks and drinks and discussed the follow-up work plan of the "Internet Public Opinion Monitoring Department" while eating.
Including reducing investment related to subtitle groups, turning to navy studios, and cultivating Internet celebrity accounts.
Qin Shaoyan gave Xiong Jiajia a general explanation of the cultivation and operation of Internet celebrities, and left the rest for him to figure out for himself. If he becomes one, he will make money.
At this time, it is too early to engage in Internet celebrities. Although the early Internet celebrities produced a few iconic figures, they disappeared within a few years, and even fewer of them could make money.
The main reason is that during this period, Internet celebrities still lack the means to monetize their traffic.
However, Qin Shaoyan did not expect to make money by relying on Internet celebrities. Instead, he first set up an account and got the microphone of the Internet first.
If you don’t occupy the public opinion position on the Internet, it will be occupied by others.
Qin Shaoyan is investing money in the current "Public Relations Department", and Xiong Jiajia has no profitable KPI, so he can work without pressure.
The two chatted for a long time, and Xiong Jiajia’s father came over and urged the two to eat, "Ma Liu, eat, stop nagging."
"Xiao Yan, although your uncle and I are not a great chef, I can still cook. Come and try it." Dad Xiong Jiajia said proudly, "Come and try my fish. I stewed it for three points."< br>
“It smells good.” Qin Shaoyan said apologetically, “I originally planned to invite my uncle and aunt to a big hotel for a meal, but Jiajia said that you will leave in two days, so I won’t let me go to that trouble. .”
< br>"I will make good arrangements for you when you come next time."
"Looking at what you said, you are such a heretic." Xiong Jiajia's father pretended to be dissatisfied, "You are my own family, why are you being polite to me."
"I have to thank you. Jiajia has been taken care of by you these two years in the capital. I thought he was just hanging around here, but I didn't expect that he even bought a house, which is pretty good."
Xiong Jiajia didn't look happy when he heard his father's praise. He lowered his head and kept eating.
His father changed the subject, "Xiaoyan, you and Jiajia have been classmates for so many years, and they are good buddies. Please help my uncle persuade him."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment. , a little surprised, the chopsticks holding fish in his hands stopped.
"It's time to calm down after playing in the capital for two years. He's already grown up." Xiong Jiajia's father said earnestly, "We have made arrangements for him at home. He will go to the hospital to work when he gets back. It won’t be difficult to buy a job in two years and find a partner to get married.”
Qin Shaoyan was shocked and slowly turned to look at Xiong Jiajia.
Xiong Jiajia spat out the bones in his mouth and said with a depressed look: "I'm not going back. I'm helping Lao Qin start a business here. It would be unjust to leave him behind. Besides, it's not like I'm not making money here. Look, I've bought a house. "
"You know what the heck, you just follow others to start a business. If you know how to start a business, just follow them," Xiong Jiajia's father taught him a lesson. Classmate, I’m sorry to let you go. Stop hanging around here.”
“What’s wrong with you buying a house?”
“What’s wrong with buying a few more apartments?” If you don’t have a serious job, who would want to live with you?”
“Hurry up and come back with me after the New Year, and I’ll prepare the arrangements for you.”
Xiong Jiajia's stubborn temper grew, and he frowned and said, "I won't go back!" "Look at you kid, why don't you understand four or six?" Xiong Jiajia's father's face suddenly darkened.
Xiong Jiajia’s mother next to her also followed the advice, repeating the same words over and over again. It is not stable to live in the capital. If you go home, you will have an iron rice bowl. You should go back as soon as possible to get married and have children.
Although the ideas of this old couple are very backward and narrow in the eyes of future generations, at this time, this is the way the ideas of the older generation are.
The aftermath of being laid off has not yet passed, and many places are still checking temporary residence permits. In the past two or three years, if caught, they would be fined and deported.
The mother of a singer who immigrated to Canada was still embezzling laid-off worker resettlement funds in 2009.
In this case, it is unrealistic for you to ask the older generation to understand entrepreneurship.
What's more, Xiong Jiajia studied clinical medicine for five years and started working on the Internet after graduation. I don't know what kind of success he can do.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Qin Shaoyan quickly smoothed things over, "Uncle and aunt, I understand how you feel."
"Xiong Jiajia is now quite old. He is not a child and has his own ideas. ”
"He has done a lot of things in the past two years in the capital. He is not just fooling around all day."
"I rely on his help for some things. They say brothers are brothers in fighting tigers, and father and son are soldiers in battle. How can I not You need a helper, right?”
“What’s more, we don’t do the Internet for ourselves, we are also working for the country.”
Xiong Jiajia was shocked, he knew Qin Shaoyan. This guy is outrageous, I didn’t expect him to be so bold.
Xiong Jiajia’s father was also stunned, and asked with some confusion and suspicion: "Work for the country? What kind of work do you do?"
Qin Shaoyan said solemnly: "You know about the Olympics, right?"
"You know, isn't it 2008?" Xiong Jiajia's father was very puzzled.
"Now is the Internet era. Everything has to be online, including the Olympic Games. The Olympic Organizing Committee here in Beijing has set up that promotional website." Qin Shaoyan slapped his chest, "I did it!"
"Ah?!" Father Xiong Jiajia looked at Qin Shaoyan in surprise.
"Of course, Jiajia has also put in a lot of effort and done a lot of work." Qin Shaoyan continued to lie plausibly, "We are responsible for the subsequent operation and maintenance of the official website, and we will continue to do it until the end of the Olympics. It has to start and end, right? After all, it is a task given by the government.”
"Yeah." Dad Xiong Jiajia nodded slowly, "What about after 2008?"
"There will be other jobs after that." Qin Shaoyan said nonsense, "We also cooperate with the Ministry of Education, and we often I’m going to the United Nations for a meeting.”
“Next year I plan to let Jiajia lead the team there so that he can become familiar with the situation there. He will be responsible for everything in the end.”
“Ah?” Dad Xiong Jiajia took a breath, “Have you done all your work at the United Nations?”
“Ah, right?” !" Xiong Jiajia nodded fiercely, "Yes, yes, we occasionally go to the United Nations for business trips, and Lao Qin has also been interviewed by CCTV News?"
While talking, Xiong Jiajia got up and went back into the house to find a laptop, plugged in the Internet cable, turned it on, and searched for news online.
Looking at the news photos of Qin Shaoyan being interviewed at the United Nations, Xiong Jiajia’s father’s doubts gradually disappeared, and he slapped Xiong Jiajia on the back, “Oh my God, I didn’t see it, son, you idiots Yes!”
“That’s necessary!” Xiong Jiajia also straightened up, “Can I do well with Lao Qin?”< br>
Qin Shaoyan continued to strike while the iron was hot, "I will give Jiajia a full position in the China Internet Development Research Association this year. Let him work there first. After the Olympics in two years, I will study and arrange the establishment for him in the capital. Come down.”
“The establishment in Beijing is better than that in my hometown, right, uncle?”
Dad Xiong Jiajia nodded sharply and gave a thumbs up, "Xiaoyan, you are still the best."
"We Jiajia are lucky enough to follow you. You can take good care of him, uncle." Thank you.”
“Thank you, you pigeons!” Xiong Jiajia said proudly, and then received another slap.
After dinner, while Xiong Jiajia’s parents couldn’t stop thanking her, Qin Shaoyan said goodbye.
Xiong Jiajia followed in the name of seeing off guests and gave a thumbs up in admiration, "It has to be you. You really have a way of catching people blind. It's the Olympic Games and the United Nations. What else is the Chinese Internet? ”
Qin Shaoyan glanced at him, "Do you think I'm joking with you? Next year, no, this year you will lead the United Nations team, hurry up and get your passport."
"We don't have to talk nonsense." Xiong Jiajia didn't He thought he was satisfied, "I just got through this year. If they find something wrong in two years, what will I do if they ask me to go back?"
"You will be a billionaire in two years, are you still worried? This?" Qin Shaoyan said disdainfully.
Xiong Jiajia looked at Qin Shaoyan and said seriously: "Let's talk about getting me the United Nations establishment. I think this lie is more true."
"..."
……
The Spring Festival holiday has passed in a hurry, and employees have begun to return to work one after another.
The first thing Qin Shaoyan did when he returned to the company was to call a few key personnel for a meeting. In the meeting room, he told what Xiong Jiajia had learned about.
Everyone present was silent. Zhang Minyi was the first to speak and asked doubtfully: "Don't we have preventive measures?"
"Yes, we have preventive measures." Fan Xiaoqian replied with a grimace. He said, "But you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and you can't prevent a thief for a thousand days. They make money based on this, and they will definitely study your loopholes every day."
Zhang Pingyi pondered for a moment, "I have seen the Legend type plug-in before. It is really convenient to use. Many people like to get one to play as an assistant."
Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Been There are not a few people who have had their accounts stolen, right?”
“Indeed.” Zhang Pingyi nodded, “There are many who have used plug-ins to get their accounts stolen.”
Fan Xiaoqian counted on her fingers beside her, "According to Mr. Qin's plan, common game plug-in types include client cracking, offline plug-in, memory modification, acceleration plug-in, customized plug-in, protocol packet capture, button script..."< br>
Next to me, Zhou Yuan, the general manager of the operations department, felt his head growl. "There are so many kinds, are they easy to deal with?"
Fan Xiaoqian sighed, "Let's try it, but there are many things that require your cooperation. Those caught cheating will be severely punished."
Zhou Yuan had some doubts, "How big is the scope of this crackdown? Is it true? There is a standard, for example, if the recharge is more than 20,000, it can be ignored?”
"No, anyone who uses plug-ins will have their accounts banned first." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Block them all, don't be lenient."
"We will discuss how to deal with it later based on the amount of money charged. Those who have not spent any money will be permanently banned. ."
"I understand." Zhou Yuan immediately had a plan in his mind.
Everyone knows how to deal with the use of plug-ins, but there are no tricks on how to deal with plug-ins.
Seeing Fan Xiaoqian still thinking about the plug-in, Qin Shaoyan suddenly said: "Since the plug-in can't be prevented, why don't we make one ourselves?"
"What?!" Fan Xiaoqian was shocked. .
