Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 228 What happened to Shanda?
Many things are often both reasonable and unexpected.

For example, Yalian Games won the agency rights of "Legend".

When Fang Jie heard the news, he was quite surprised, but he soon realized that this is what makes sense!
After the former Asia League game obtained the agency rights of "Millennium" from South Korea's Actoz Company, it was released and listed in March 2001.

In this life, Boiling Games bought the copyright of "Millennium" first, so it stands to reason that there should be nothing wrong with the Asian League.

But obviously, in the previous life, the Asia Union was able to contact Actoz to get the agency rights of "Millennium", so it is a matter of course to find Actoz again in this life and win the agency rights of another game "Legend", okay? ?

It's really nothing, it's Shanda Company!
In this life, there is really nothing to do with Shanda. Without "Legend", it is estimated that Shanda may go bankrupt this year. It is equivalent to a series of butterfly effects. After Fang Jie personally killed the company that gave birth to the richest man in China ...

Regarding this, Fang Jie could only shrug innocently - blame me?
In fact, in his opinion, Shanda is still very powerful, its top management is very forward-looking, and many decisions are ahead of the times. Chen Shoufu is definitely a genius strategist and an idealist.

For example, it has creatively created an online point card sales system for Internet cafes.

That's right, Fang Jie's 51ka, although the routine is deeper and the results are more impressive, but in essence, it is from Sheng University.

Another example is the product Shanda Box.

This thing is awesome, that is, by connecting TVs, computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices, movies, music, games, advertisements, e-commerce, etc. are all connected together. The purpose is to go from 1 million computer users to 4 million. For home users and mobile phone users, the main battlefield is from Internet cafes to family parlors.

Is it familiar?

Yes, a few years later, the same routine, Xiaomi, ITV, Huawei succeeded...

You know, this product and concept is a year earlier than the first-generation Apple TV.

At that time, the domestic software and hardware environment and technology were immature, and the cost of the box was too high. More importantly, this IP TV technology moved the cake of broadcasting and TV at that time, and was stuck by the license and supervision. It took less than a year. It's a policy failure.

This is the case externally, and it is even more so within the company. Most people are opposed and unfavorable. Several other high-level executives even patted the table with Chen Shoufu, and then they really messed up.

Another example is the charging model. "Legend" is the first online game that truly started the item charging model, but it is not too successful. One year after "Legend" was free, Shi Yuzhu's "Journey" became popular...

In the previous life, Shanda also acquired Qidian Chinese.com to integrate the online literary world, acquired Haofang and Bianfeng to integrate casual game platforms, and sneaked a 19.5% stake in Sina. If Sina hadn’t prepared the "Poison Pill Plan" in advance, it would have been almost acquired by Shanda. .

All of this shows one thing - half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman!
So since Fang Jie's rebirth, even though there are countless advanced ideas in his head, he only dares to release a few in a targeted manner, otherwise he will be easily messed up if he takes too many steps. Old Chen is a typical example. The lesson is that Quite profound.

However, talents like Lao Chen can still be absorbed into the boiling game if they have the opportunity.

After Chen privatized Shanda in his previous life, he planned to use all the money to invest in brain neuroscience research. Around 2010, the first phase pulled out more than 10 billion US dollars to establish the Institute of Brain Science at the California Institute of Technology.

This is another advanced move. In the eyes of many people, he has become even more crazy since he became a Buddhist.

But Fang Jie believes that if we want to make virtual reality online games, brain science research is a must. Since Lao Chen is interested in this aspect, it is better to let him be in charge of this aspect in the future.

But it is still too early to say these things. The real problem now is that the Asian League has won the agency rights of "Legend".

The game "Legend" is a very strong competitor for Boiling Games. If it is not handled properly, it will have a huge impact on the future development and overall layout of Boiling Games.

Fang Jie originally thought that history would be like in his previous life. "Legend" was represented by Shanda, and it would be released at the end of this year. Now he really did not expect this change. Otherwise, no matter how much money he spent, he would definitely not give up on "Legend". copyright, or win the agency right, even if it does not operate, at least there will be one less powerful enemy.

Now "Legend" must be listed ahead of schedule. After Yalian obtained the agency rights, it announced that it plans to launch in July, that is, during the summer vacation. This gave Fang Jie a sense of urgency and crisis for the first time since his rebirth.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Jie’s attitude was that no one would be rejected when Boiling Games was recruiting from the public, and the more the better, he asked all departments to recruit a large number of talents with related majors, and then quickly produced a game like “Legend” to follow The opponent is in the ring.

So even though "Wulin" is hanging, he really didn't spend too much time playing the game, making a cheat, it's just so that he can hang up and make a response plan while hanging up.

Regarding the "Legend of Mir 2" represented by Yalian Games, Fang Jie first registered the patent and trademark rights for a whole set of "Legend" plans, including game names such as "Legend" and "Legend of Hot Blood", as well as Professional names such as mage, warrior, and Taoist also include various skill names and map names, such as Shabak and Tucheng.

That is to say, it is impossible for Yalian Games to use the familiar names from the previous "Legend" in Sinicizing "Legend of Mir 2". those factors.

Then, in terms of gameplay and settings, not only preemptively registered patents, but also made some corresponding innovations for reference. At this moment, he no longer cared about morals and so on, and directly adopted Tencent's usual strategy, based on the original framework. Made a magic change.

For example, the game setting of mining has been changed to crystal mine by him, and the use of ore has also been expanded. It is not only used to sell money or repair equipment for a long time, but has become one of the building materials for many game props.

Another example is the skill setting, which has been changed from full level 3 to level 9, and it is expressed in percentage, indicating that the skills of this game are a continuation of "Wulin". At the same time, after the skill reaches level 3, in addition to proficiency, there are Additional game materials are required to continue leveling up.

There are still many such changes, and besides the changes, there are also some settings that he canceled.

For example, the cheating settings such as wax-free were cancelled.

The other is that game characters can pass through walls without being blocked by other players.

A pickup limit for dropped items has also been added.

Because Fang Jie doesn't believe that with the integrity of domestic players, he can make money without losing money...
