Chapter 44 The Past of the Game Industry
The ban on game consoles imposed by superior authorities has forced foreign game companies to slow down their entry into China and stimulated a large amount of domestic capital to enter the game industry. The period from 1997 to 1999 was also the first peak of the development of China's game industry.
However, the foundation of China's game industry is too weak, with a lack of personnel, rampant piracy, and the impact of foreign classic games, it soon suffered losses.
The most famous one is the crash of the game "Blood Lion".
When Beijing Xintiandi Multimedia Technology Co., Ltd. launched this game, the publicity was so loud that all game fans were looking forward to it. However, after buying it, they found out that it was a semi-finished product, which triggered a wave of returns and severely affected the country. Players have confidence in domestic games.
The game industry, which had just made some progress, began to decline.
Jinpan Company was merged into Tongfang Shares, and the game department was directly laid off.
You must know that Jinpan is one of the first companies to develop games in China. In 1994, "Condor Commando" kicked off the mainland's original game business, but as a result, such a company died.
Of course it's not the only one.
Then there is the second stage two thousand years later, which is also the stage that many game fans are most familiar with.
The Internet gaming boom is here.
"King of Kings", "Network Three Kingdoms" and "Stone Age" all sold well, and the subsequent "Legend" completely detonated the Chinese game market.
Now Xu Liang wants to seize the opportunity of the explosion of Internet games.
"It seems Brother Tang likes to play games very much?" Xu Liang said.
“I really like it, so I also know the gap between the domestic game industry and foreign countries. It is difficult to compare in a short time, which also means that domestic game companies may not be able to compare in five or six years, or even longer. Survival will be difficult
If you want to make huge profits through games, it is difficult. "
Tang Xingmao is not optimistic about Xu Liang's game plan.
Xu Liang smiled, "Brother Tang, games are not just a category of stand-alone games. Now South Korea, Japan and Wanwan Online games are also developing well, and I want to introduce them to China. ”
“Online games? "
"Hmm. "Xu Liang continued, "South Korea, Japan, and Wanwan all belong to the East Asian cultural circle, and games that are popular in their countries must also have a market in China. ”
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but the mainstream of the global game market is still stand-alone games, and online games are only on the fringe.
And there are too few domestic Internet users and insufficient installed capacity. Within three or four years, It is difficult for online games to become mainstream," Tang Xingmao affirmed.
Hearing this, Xu Liang suddenly lost interest.
He feels that talents are rare, and he wants to keep the other person here. By helping himself, he can also help the other person achieve a career.
But after some exchanges, I discovered that although this person was knowledgeable, he was too stubborn.
If you think you are right, it will be difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
At this moment, the barbecue ordered by Xu Liang was served.
After that, Xu Liang didn't talk about the game anymore. He asked some things about Tang Xingmao when he was studying in the United States, and then sent him back.
Looking at the retreating figure, Xu Liang sighed.
“The other protagonists shook their bodies, and the talents from all over the world bowed to them. Why can’t they do it with me?”
——
When Jiang Xiaoyang returned home, her mother was watching TV.
"Xiaoyang, are you back?"
"Mom, where is my dad?"
"He's in the study upstairs. Why are you looking for him?"
>
"Ask him something."
As he said that, he put on his shoes and walked quickly upstairs.
"This child, I have been waiting for her here all night, and she didn't even know to look for me when she came back."
After muttering something, she stared at the TV.
“The mountain has no edges, and the heaven and the earth are in harmony, only then can I dare to be with you.
Ziwei, I’m so sad to see you like this.
Erkang, don't be sad. Seeing you so sad makes me feel even sadder.
I know I shouldn't make you more sad, but I really have no way to make myself not sad."...
Mother Jiang touched the corners of her eyes.
"Ziwei is really beautiful. Pitiful. ”
——
"Dong dong..." After knocking on the door, Jiang Xiaoyang opened the door and walked in.
A middle-aged man wearing a black casual jacket on the sofa looked up. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face with Chinese characters, and an air of calmness and authority about him.
“It’s Xiaoyang.”
"Dad, why didn't you watch TV with my mother?"
"I'm not interested in those soap operas she watches. ... Come and sit."
Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and sat on the sofa next to his father. Sat down.
“Didn’t you have dinner with friends tonight? Why are you back so early?”
“I’ll be back right after eating. Why, you always want me to come back after ten o’clock, or Staying up all night? ”
"I don't mind, but your mother is probably going to blow up your cell phone."
"Back then, my brother didn't come home at night, and my mother didn't care."
"You I'm a boy."
"Dad, you are discriminating against women."
"Haha, you should tell your mother, don't say this anymore. What’s wrong with me?”
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about some family affairs." Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"Stop pretending in front of me. Just tell me, otherwise I will wash up."
Knowing that he could not hide it from his father, Jiang Xiaoyang thought for a moment.
“Dad, someone told me today that one day the country will restrict the off-campus subject training industry. I think it makes sense, but I’m not sure if it’s true. I want to ask you to give me some advice.”
“Tell me about it.”
Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and recounted the conversation he had with Xu Liang in the car that night.
At first, Father Jiang didn't pay much attention, but the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became. Later, he was completely absorbed in it, his eyes were full of thoughts, and his expression was also solemn.
Jiang Xiaoyang saw this and did not dare to disturb his father. After he finished speaking, he waited quietly beside him.
After a long time, Father Jiang let out a long breath.
“Your friend is really awesome.”
"Dad, do you mean that everything he said is true?"
"If there are no restrictions on policies, in ten or twenty years of development, the proliferation of private training will definitely come."
Compared with his daughter, Jiang’s father has a much deeper research on Capital and has a broader knowledge.
Jiang Xiaoyang was very aware of his father's ability. After receiving his affirmation, most of the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly.
I couldn’t help but marvel.
"That guy is so awesome!"
"Who is this friend of yours? Can you let me meet him too? I want to talk to him about this."
Listen to me , Jiang Xiaoyang blurted out subconsciously.
“No, you can’t see him.”
“Why?”
"Anyway, if it doesn't work, it won't work. As for what you said, I'll just ask him to write a document "About the Development of Private Tutoring in Subject Education" and give it to you."
After speaking, he stood up.
"Dad, I'm a little tired. Let's go and rest first. Goodbye."
No matter what his father said, he turned around and walked out of the study.
Looking at the back of his daughter walking away quickly, Father Jiang’s face showed thoughts.
"There is a story in this."
