Chapter 85 What a mistake
Cao Bo looked at the Sentinel Technology booth and asked with a smile: "Does Qin Corporation make stand-alone games or online games?"

"Single machine." Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile.

Cao Bo nodded and sighed, "It's hard to do a stand-alone project 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 not bad."

hiss!
Cao Bo took a deep breath.

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?"

"It's not a high-level job, I'm just fooling around." Qin Shaoyan patted his work badge, "I work for Valve Company for half my life."

"I also like Half-Life, and my favorite is playing 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."

"It is indeed fate." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "Thanks to Boss Cao for giving us convenience."

"I'll make some more room for Mr. Qin. This little space is too unfair to Mr. Qin." Cao Bo was about to ask people to move the booth.

"No, no, just have a place to put the computer."

The two of them were humble and polite to each other, and Qin Shaoyan declined the other party's kindness.

"Why does a well-known company like Mr. Qin deign to come to this corner?" Cao Bo asked tentatively, "We can ask Director Chen to give Mr. Qin a better position."

"Sigh." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "It was not easy for Director Chen to squeeze us in, so I thought it would be better not to cause him any more trouble."

Cao Bo also said with emotion: "Director Chen is a very enthusiastic person. He is very busy with exhibition matters. If you have any problems, you can come to him to solve them."

"Yeah." Qin Shaoyan agreed casually, "Brother Chen and Director Chen are very nice people."

Cao Bo smiled knowingly. Look, he said something.

"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."

"There's no point in giving any advice." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Besides, I'm a stand-alone player."

"Then you are better than us domestic wild men." Cao Bo enthusiastically invited, "Please take a look and make any comments."

"This..." Qin Shaoyan hesitated, "Then let me appreciate your company's works."

Cao Bo quickly brought Qin Shaoyan to his company's booth, 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's 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 the 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 showed 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 and said with a half-smile, "Is your project based on the legendary code?"

Cao Bo was shocked, and his evaluation of Qin Shaoyan was even higher, "Mr. Qin is indeed a master, you can see it."

"To tell you the truth, I used to make a legendary private server. 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 said with a half-smile, "Chen Tianqiao is coming soon, aren't you afraid that he will sue you?"

Cao Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "He can sue all he wants. The money he got from me is not enough to cover the cost of the lawsuit. Besides, private servers are everywhere now, so he can sue."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a few seconds, "Your game idea is good, but haven't your programmers considered the pressure on the server during PK?"

A character can bring up to a dozen pets, and the chaos during a fight will be overwhelming.

This is still a single-player PK. If there was a melee, the scene would be unimaginable.

Facing 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 laughed. Cao Bo smiled and said nothing. These words of Cao Bo 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, then politely invited Cao Bo to try out his "Plants vs. Zombies" game, and then listened to some clumsy rainbow farts.

When the two people 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 venue's speakers, 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 other department leaders.

Qin Shaoyan and Cao Bo stood in the booth, looking around, listening to the speech and understanding the spirit, while looking at the booths of other colleagues.

"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, is now 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.

Among portal websites, Sina, Sohu, and NetEase dominate the world. 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 gaming business to regain its vitality, NetEase has since formulated a strategy with its gaming 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, this life will be worth it."

Qin Shaoyan pointed to the stage, smiled and 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 proud and 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 capabilities.

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 gaming 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 N-gage, a gaming phone specifically for game users, and Sony's exhibition area attracted even more attention.

Sony's exhibition area was very huge, showing the PS2 game console to the audience, hoping to enter the Chinese market.

In addition to game consoles, there were also displays of Sony electronic equipment and the online game "EverQuest 2" in cooperation with Game Orange, which seemed ambitious.

Other game companies are doing their best to attract the audience's attention.

Cao Bo looked at the beautiful showgirls at other companies' booths and suddenly felt a little annoyed, "Oh no, why didn't I think of finding some models?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "It's useless to look for her. Everyone is looking for her, which is equivalent to not looking for her. Besides, these beautiful ladies are completely useless today."

"Huh?!" Cao Bo was a little surprised, "How do you say this?"

　The description of the exhibition in this book is different from the real exhibition. This book is purely fabricated. There is no need to take it seriously in parallel time and space.
