Chapter 145 I can also talk, I can also give money
However, Qin Shaoyan has always had a good psychological quality. He answered the phone calmly and asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Ma, you haven't rested so late. Ah."
Ma Huateng, who was awake late at night, was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you were very successful at the American exhibition this time."
" "It's okay." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The main reason is that there are no outstanding game works in this exhibition. I am the king of the tigers and monkeys in the mountain, and the others are just mediocre."
< br>"Mr. Qin is so humble." Ma Huateng said with a smile, "I have seen many reports in China saying that Chuxin Technology's games are epoch-making products. What is the next generation called?"
"The concept of next generation mainly refers to our engine technology." Qin Shaoyan began to educate MCA, "Our engine uses many new concepts and technologies and has reached the world's advanced level."
"And Our engine uses a lot of advanced technologies, such as..."
After listening for a while, Ma Huateng couldn't help but interrupt Qin Shaoyan's introduction, "Mr. Qin, what I want to ask is, your "Anti-Terrorism: What's going on with "Modern Warfare"? I read that there are news reports that it is a stand-alone game?"
Qin Shaoyan readily admitted, "Yes, it is a stand-alone game, but an online battle mode will be added in the future." br>
He actually admitted it happily? !
Ma Huateng was speechless and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Qin, what about the Counter-Strike online game you promised us?"
"Didn't you say that the FPS you made was an online game before? Why did it become a stand-alone game?"< br>
"Originally, the publicity was good. Everyone said that Chuxin Technology and Penguin were collaborating on FPS online games, but why did you suddenly have a single-player FPS game?"
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds. , "Mr. Ma, you don't understand game development, right?"
"I don't understand." Ma Huateng admitted honestly.
"Does Penguin know anyone about this?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.
“No.” Ma Huateng sighed. If Penguin had talents in this field, he would have done it himself. There would be no need to find another game agent.
Qin Shaoyan let out a sigh of relief, it’s okay if you don’t understand.
"Mr. Ma, you don't understand game development, so you misunderstood me, but I don't blame you." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "You don't understand my good intentions."
"Huh?" Ma Huateng was stunned. What did Qin Shaoyan mean by this?
"FPS research and development is easy to get started with, but difficult to master." Qin Shaoyan explained, "Small companies can create an FPS game, but this kind of game can only be played simply, and there is still a long way to go before it is a finished product. Needless to say, there are some problems with online games.”
“It took V Company three or four years to produce Half-Life 2, and the cost reached 40 million US dollars. Of course, this was mainly due to the cost of using a new engine. It takes a long time to cause problems."
"If you don't consider the game quality, you can create an FPS online game in a year or two."
"But" Qin Shaoyan raised his voice." Mr. Ma, I, Qin Shaoyan, can’t fool Penguin with inferior works. I still have this professional ethics.”
“Mr. Ma, let me ask you, is my game engine awesome?”
Ma Huateng nodded, "It is indeed very powerful, very shocking."
Qin Shaoyan said firmly, "Our future online games will use new engines to achieve the top-notch graphics effects."
>"We have made a lot of improvements in the engine, and to be on the safe side, we first made a stand-alone machine to verify bugs, and will not officially apply it to online games until all technical verifications are passed."
"马Boss, is there anything wrong with me doing this?”
“Uh, no problem,” Ma Huateng replied subconsciously.
"After engine problems are improved in stand-alone games, online games can use mature technologies to reduce development costs and improve user experience." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Stand-alone games are the pioneers of online game technology. I have mentioned this concept many times. , no one in the industry pays attention to it.”
“FPS online game development can only be completed in one or two years.”
“Ah?” Ma Huateng was very surprised, “So fast. ? "Of course, besides, I will take care of it myself, so R&D is not a problem." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "Mr. Ma, why are you so anxious?"
Actually, Qin Shaoyan did not lie to Ma Huateng. , FPS online game development is indeed simpler than other online games.
Take a familiar game as an example. Xiaomen, which developed CF, is just a small game factory, and the entire development team does not have many people.
In 2004, the South Korean FPS online game "Special Forces" was launched and was very popular in South Korea, so Xiaomen decided to follow suit and develop an FPS game. In January 2007, they negotiated with Penguin for agent operation, and then delivered it for testing and improvement.
So CF became a national-level online game, known as "the dream of 300 million mice."
Ma Huateng was relieved to hear Qin Shaoyan's conclusive guarantee.
Qin Shaoyan still has credibility.
However, Ma Huateng still asked with some worry: "Mr. Qin, is there a rough schedule for the development of online games?"
"Before 2008, I want to complete the stand-alone version first. After all, V Agency gave me 20 million US dollars." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a while, "And I also have an online game in cooperation with Sohu. They also paid for it and transferred the shares of Pixel Software to me. We had made an agreement with Mr. He of Sohu years ago. "
Ma Huateng understood at this time that what Qin Shaoyan meant was that he wanted to play games with me and queue up at the back.
Faced with such rhetoric, Ma Huateng had nothing to say.
After all, everyone spent money, and Penguin just signed a letter of intent for cooperation with an exclusive clause.
"Mr. Qin, I can also negotiate, and I can also give you money." Ma Huateng said with a hint of jealousy and resentment.
“Let’s talk about this when I get back to China.” Qin Shaoyan said casually, “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
“Then Mr. Qin, will you return to China next week?” Ma Huateng couldn’t bear it. asked.
“I can’t tell, I still have a lot of things to deal with in the United States, and I will go to V Club with the development team for a while.” Qin Shaoyan said casually, “After all, if you want to make an FPS game, you have to work with V Club Let’s communicate and learn more.”
Ma Huateng was silent for a while and suddenly said: “Mr. Qin, people from NEXON from South Korea came to contact us a few days ago.”
"They said they have the license to develop the online game Counter-Strike, and told us not to believe you."
Qin Shaoyan immediately frowned and asked displeasedly: "What else did the Koreans say?"
br>
"Well, they criticized you very much. They also told me about the Golden Keyboard Award and said you were a liar." Ma Huateng immediately explained, "Mr. Qin, the Koreans are talking nonsense. I don't believe it. They."
Qin Shaoyan was happy, "This is how Koreans play business competition, right?"
Ma Huateng echoed: "This method of Koreans is really not good."
"Mr. Ma." Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly and said solemnly, "The Golden Keyboard Award was personally awarded to me by Gabe Newell, the boss of V agency. It is a famous award in the American gaming circle. Koreans made rumors about me. "
"Mr. Qin, calm down, Koreans have never seen the world, so don't be like them," Ma Huateng said quickly.
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Ma, let's talk later."
After putting down the phone, Qin Shaoyan's face darkened.
Bangzi, you are very impatient, right?
