Vol 2 Chapter 126: Father of BT

When Lin Feng was discussing the agency contract with Newell, he suddenly remembered the first-person shooter online game that had been popular in China before his rebirth-Interstellar online.

This online game, which was once a big hit in China, was as popular as a legend at the time. Unfortunately, it was finally stopped by the tossing players of the domestic agency company, and finally reluctantly stopped, causing countless obsessed players to sigh. In order to make up for the regret in my heart, if conditions permit, players who understand English switched to the US server, and the rest can only cherish the past that the bullets flying and the artillery fire made countless people crazy and exciting night.

"Don't be afraid of enemies like wolves, but teammates like pigs."-This is a famous saying that makes all players honor it.

Today, Newell’s counter-strike online is still affected by the stand-alone cs in terms of networking, and the networking is not thorough enough. Lin Feng secretly compared the two games in his heart and then made his own suggestions.

Lin Feng proposed to increase the level system in the game. Players rely on killing enemies to gain experience and upgrade their characters. The higher the level, the more weapons the player can choose. However, there is no difference in strength between high-level characters and low-level characters. A level 1 character can also kill a top-level character.

Then there is the cancellation of the money system, and all equipment is directly supplied by the base. It is also proposed to launch a large-scale map in the later stage, providing armored vehicles and aircraft, and even ships for players to use for all-round battles on land, sea and air-this is also a reference to the interstellar online.

Regarding Lin Feng’s proposal, Newell and Mihnlee’s eyes are bright. These points can further increase the player’s sense of substitution and enhance the player’s enthusiasm for the game. I believe that it will contribute to the popularity of Counter-Strike online. However, Lin Feng's last point proposed to launch a large map and provide armored vehicles and aircraft for players to use, which they had not expected before, so it may take a lot of time to complete this point.

Regarding Newell's concerns, Lin Feng assured him. This point can be slowly released in the future for system upgrades of its expansion, and now it is not necessary to release it for the time being.

After some detailed communication, the two parties finally reached an agency agreement amicably.

Lin Feng used the agency fee of US$10 million to obtain the agency rights of Counter-Strike Online Asia. Valve enjoys 20% of the counter-strike profit share every year.

With this contract, Lin Feng knew that he had taken a big advantage. This is an online game that has taken the world by storm, and I can get it at such a low price, as if a pie is falling in the sky. As for full agency rights, Lin Feng didn't want to. Previously, the agent game wanted the full copyright of the other party, also because of the anti-piracy relationship, and the counter-strike online belongs to the first-person online game, and the general plug-in is useless at all.

As for the plug-ins such as "guns and guns" and "accelerated walking" that appeared in the stand-alone game cs, today's technology can be easily eliminated, so there is no need to worry too much. Therefore, Lin Feng did not mention its complete copyright at all.

After a friendly agreement was reached, both parties relaxed. Newell also accompanied Lin Feng to stroll around Silicon Valley and introduced the current environment of Silicon Valley. It has to be said that Silicon Valley is indeed worthy of the world’s electronic industry concentration. Large companies such as Cisco, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Lucent, Apple and so on gather here. Looking at the pedestrians on the street, don’t look at all the undershirts and t-shirts. The dress is extremely simple and plain, but you may be a millionaire or multimillionaire with a simple pull. It's normal to get rich overnight here.

"Mr. Lin, the cooperation is happy, and I hope we will have a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future." After signing the agreement, the two parties agreed on payment and other related matters, and Lin Feng was ready to return to Shanghai.

"Happy cooperation." Lin Feng smiled slightly. This time not only got the agency rights in China, but also got the agency rights in Asia. The harvest was so abundant that people were overjoyed.

Lin Feng and his party were going to leave with Newell's escort. At this moment, Lin Feng inadvertently glanced at a computer that a young man was working on. The whole person was taken aback, thought about it, and then stopped.

"Mr. Lin, are you...?" Newell looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

"Excuse me, who is this?" Lin Feng pointed to the young man and asked.

"Oh, this is (Cohen), the leader of our newly hired technology development team." Newell said.

auzw.com Lin Feng nodded, and Cohen, who turned around, smiled slightly, and then stared at the computer in front of Cohen.

"Hello, is the software you are working on now...?" Lin Feng pointed to a software window on the computer and said.

"Hello, this is a download software based on the p2p file transfer protocol that I developed when I was bored. I call it bittorrent." Cohen said indifferently.

Although Cohen didn't care, Lin Feng's heart trembled. I thought it was no wonder that I was so familiar with the software window just now. It turned out to be bt, a small but extremely important software that changed the online world.

The existing downloading software, such as flashget, are all downloading software based on the http transmission protocol. Although the download is not slow, it has a lot of restrictions on the rebroadcast files and requires the host to provide resources to download. But bt is different, it can spread files freely, as long as it is a seed, it can be provided to all users to download. And it is multi-point upload, the more people download, the faster the speed.

However, bt software also involves an infringement issue, mainly the infringement issue when distributing movies. However, for Lin Feng, all these problems can be solved, even if they can't be solved, they won't fight. What Lin Feng fancy is that through this software, his company's name will be able to become famous all over the world, and this is the most important thing.

"Excuse me, have you finished this software?" Lin Feng asked calmly.

"Haha, it's done, this is just a download software." Obviously, Cohen hasn't realized that the software he developed will change the world. But even if he realizes it is useless, he is a technical talent, not a business talent. In the world before Lin Feng's rebirth, Cohen failed to make a fortune with bt, and was still a poor technician.

"Uh, do you want to sell it? I want to buy the full copyright. How do you feel about it for $50,000?" Lin Feng asked.

"You want to buy the copyright? US$50,000?" Cohen's tone is a bit high. This is his leisure work. Unexpectedly, it was attracted by people and the price was US$50,000. This surprised him and surprised him.

Although the average annual salary in Silicon Valley has exceeded $100,000, $50,000 is still not a small figure for him. At the moment, Cohen agreed to sell his full copyright to Lin Feng. As for Newell, there is no opinion on this. This software was originally developed by the employees in their leisure time. The copyright does not belong to the company, so he naturally has no right to intervene. On the contrary, he was extremely pleased that a small program developed by his employees could sell for $50,000.

But Newell didn't know that it was because of his negligence at this time that the copyright of bt was bought by Lin Feng, which caused him to come to Lin Feng in the end. I have to say that life's chances are like this, changeable.

In order to reach an agreement and let Cohen complete the final optimization work, Lin Feng stayed in Silicon Valley for another day.

The next day, Lin Feng left Silicon Valley with the CD-ROM containing the bt copyright, related development data and Cohen's experience, and signed the counter-strike online agency agreement.

But before the plane took off, Lin Feng received a call.

"Dong Lin, it's not good, the legend has something wrong." Wu Zhaopu's eager voice came.

"What! What's the matter?" Lin Feng asked quickly.

"Sir, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your mobile phone." The stewardess kindly reminded.

"But I..." Lin Feng wanted to say that his company was at a critical juncture, but he knew in his heart that if he called before the plane took off, the people on this plane would be in danger of life. In desperation, Lin Feng hurriedly talked with him. After Wu Zhaopu asked him to take care of it, he turned off his mobile phone.

What happened? ——Lin Feng looked anxious on the plane. Lin Feng, who just signed the agency contract and accidentally bought the full copyright of the bt software, did not have the slightest sense of congratulation at this moment.
