Chapter 85 What a Misstep
Cao Bo looked at the Sentinel Technology booth and asked with a smile: "Does Qin Corporation make stand-alone games or online games?"
"Single-player games." Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile.
Cao Bo nodded and sighed, "It's hard to do a stand-alone machine in China. It's a pity that Mr. Qin is doing a stand-alone project."
"It's okay." Qin Shaoyan added with a smile. , "We are in the North American market, and the sales are pretty good."
hiss!
Cao Bo took a breath of cold air.
It turns out he is still a returnee from overseas.
“Oh, Mr. Qin looks like a talented person.” Cao Bo’s smile became more and more enthusiastic, “So he is an overseas elite. Where do you find your job, Mr. Qin?”
< br>"It's not a high-level job, just fooling around." Qin Shaoyan patted his work ID card, "In Valve Company, I work for half my life."
"I also like Half-Life, and my favorite game is CS." Cao Bo smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "I never thought that I could be my neighbor with a well-known company like yours. It's such a fate."
"Indeed. It's fate." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "We have to thank Boss Cao for making it easier for us."
"I'll give Mr. Qin some more space. This is too much for Mr. Cao." Beau was about to ask someone to move the booth.
"No, no, no, just have a place to put the computer."
The two were humble and polite to each other, and Qin Shaoyan declined the other's kindness.
"How come Mr. Qin, a well-known company, condescended to come to this corner?" Cao Bo asked tentatively, "We can ask Director Chen to change Mr. Qin's position to a better position."
"Oh. "Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "It was not easy for Director Chen to get us in, so I thought it would be better not to cause him any more trouble."
Cao Bo also sighed: "Director Chen. He is very enthusiastic. He is busy with the exhibition and can solve any problem with him."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan agreed casually, "Brother Chen and Director Chen are very nice people. ”
Cao Bo smiled knowingly. Look, he let it slip.
"Mr. Qin, you are an elite of a well-known company and are well-informed overseas. Please help me take a look at our projects." Cao Bo immediately showed a sincere expression and said, "Please give me some advice."
"Talk I don’t need any advice.” Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, “Besides, I’m a stand-alone player.”
“Then you are better than us domestic wildcats.” Cao Bo enthusiastically invited, “Take a look. , feel free to give me your opinion."
"This..." Qin Shaoyan hesitated, "Then let me appreciate your company's works."
Cao Bo quickly brought Qin Shaoyan. At his company's booth, he pulled out a chair and asked him to sit down.
Qin Shaoyan took a look and found that the computer was not connected to the Internet.
The game server and database should be installed on this computer, simulating the environment locally.
This is a 2D MMORPG real-time combat online game with rough art quality.
However, the game is very complete, with a complete novice mission process and several maps.
Qin Shaoyan played for a few times and nodded, praising: "Your gameplay design is quite interesting."
The gameplay of this game does not rely on the characters created by players, but on the various combat pets they summon to spawn monsters and PK.
The character controlled by the player has few skills, all of which are related to pets.
Cao Bo had a proud look on his face and said with a smile: "We borrowed some ideas from Fantasy Westward Journey, and the rest are all our own original creations."
Qin Shaoyan glanced at Cao Bo He glanced at it and said with a half-smile: "You used the legendary code to modify this project, right?"
Cao Bo was shocked, and immediately rated Qin Shaoyan one point higher, "Mr. Qin is indeed a high-ranking official." Man, you can see this.”
"To tell you the truth, I used to make legendary private servers. Now that online games are so popular, I improved it according to my own ideas, changed the art resources, and turned it into a new game."
Qin Shaoyan seems He said with a non-smile, "Chen Tianqiao is coming soon, aren't you afraid that he will sue you?"
Cao Bo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "He can sue him all he wants, it's not enough to get money from me." What about the cost of his lawsuit? Besides, private servers are everywhere now, so he can sue."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for a few seconds, "Your game idea is good, but your programmers have not considered PK. Is it a pressure on the server? "
A character can have up to a dozen pets, and it will be confusing when fighting.
This is still a single-player PK. If there was a melee, the scene would be unimaginable.
Faced with this problem, Cao Bo didn't care at all, "It doesn't matter. I don't expect this project to be popular at all. If there are tens of thousands of people online, it will be very popular. Anyway, the cost is cheap, so I will make money no matter what." ." Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing. Cao Bo's words intuitively reflected the aspirations of the reckless heroes of this era.
At this time, private servers were blooming everywhere, and cheats and piracy were rampant. Many people started their careers in these gray and black industries and got their first pot of gold.
Some people rely too much on the path to success and refuse to step out of their comfort zone, continuing to wander on the edge of the law until they are struck with an iron fist.
Some with a keen sense of smell directly transformed and went ashore to enter the formal game industry, some took advantage of the trend of the times and made a fortune, and some lost all their money and went back to the sea.
There are countless companies in this industry that have had their ups and downs. Some rose to fame and then disappeared in an instant. Some were brilliant for a few years and then fell into obscurity.
Qin Shaoyan complimented him casually, politely invited Cao Bo to try out his "Plants vs. Zombies", and then listened to some clumsy rainbow farts.
While the two were exchanging business blows, the number of people in the exhibition hall gradually increased, and a large number of players poured into the venue.
The exhibition officially started, and there was a burst of noise from the speakers at the venue, followed by the host's opening remarks.
Because it is organized under the guidance of government departments, the exhibition standards are very high and a CCTV host was invited.
This host originally made a sports program. Later, CCTV Sports Channel launched "E-Sports World" and he became the host. The main content was to introduce e-Sports games.
As usual, the leader starts to speak. The first person to take the stage is the deputy director of the Printing Department, followed by the leaders of other departments.
Qin Shaoyan and Cao Bo stood in the booth, looking around, listening to the speech and absorbing the spirit, while looking at the booths of other peers.
“Oh shit, Chen Tianqiao is really here.” Cao Bo exclaimed.
Qin Shaoyan saw at a glance the legendary tycoon in the online game industry sitting on the stage. He became the richest man in China with a game and started the gold mining trend in online games.
At this time, Shanda, which is booming, seems to be the dominant player in the online game industry. It will IPO this year and will be in the limelight for a while.
Next to Chen Tianqiao is Ding Sanshi, one of the first representatives of the pioneering era of the Internet.
Sina, Sohu, and NetEase dominate the portal websites, and they were the first three Chinese Internet companies to go public in the United States.
After struggling to survive the Internet bubble and relying on its game business to regain its vitality, NetEase has since formulated a strategy with the game business as its core.
Cao Bo looked at the big guys chatting and laughing on the stage, and sighed with envy in his heart, "Whenever I can get on stage, my life will be worth it."
Qin Shaoyan pointed to the stage and smiled. Said: "He can take his place."
Cao Bo glanced at Qin Shaoyan and felt that Mr. Qin's tone was a bit loud.
After all, he is a returnee from overseas. He is arrogant, but what kind of people are there on stage?
What level are you at, and you still want to replace it? You are overestimating your abilities.
Young people are still too arrogant.
Cao Bo smiled and nodded, complimenting: "With Mr. Qin's ability, this kind of thing is quite easy."
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing.
After the speech, the host announced that the exhibition officially started.
The game industry attaches great importance to this exhibition. All well-known game companies are here, especially those companies that will launch online games this year, and use this exhibition as an important stage for promotion.
This time, not only major domestic companies such as Shanda, NetEase, Sohu, and The9 City, but Nokia and Sony also set up booths.
Nokia launched a gaming phone N-gage specifically for game users, and the Sony exhibition area attracted even more attention.
Sony's exhibition area is very huge, showing the PS2 game console to the audience, hoping to enter the Chinese market.
In addition to game consoles, there are also displays of Sony electronic equipment and the online game "EverQuest 2" in cooperation with Game Orange, which seems ambitious.
In order to attract the attention of the audience, other game companies have shown their unique skills.
Cao Bo looked at the beautiful showgirls at the booths of other companies and suddenly felt a little annoyed, "Oh no, why didn't I think of finding some models?"
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "I can't. It's useless, everyone is looking for it, and there is no use for these beautiful ladies today."
"Huh?" Cao Bo was a little surprised, "What do you mean?" br>
The description of the exhibition in this book is different from the real exhibition. This book is purely fabricated. There is no need to be truthful about parallel time and space
