Vol 2 Chapter 265: valve arrived

Chapter 265 The valve is here

There are many voice chat software in China, and several large portal websites have launched their own voice chat software. For example, google's "googletalk", t's "t-skype", and of course the most famous "ts voice platform", which are specially provided for teamwork.

If you choose to acquire a real-time voice software for secondary independent development, it will undoubtedly be more proactive, and at the same time you can use the popularity of the game to enter the instant messaging market. Tencent's success precedent is there, and no one is jealous. But this way, it will definitely cause a strong counterattack from Tencent-on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore. It must be another **** battle at that time. For Tencent, chat software is where its fundamental interests lie. Whoever touches the cake will definitely hit its opponents at all costs. This is definitely the "Second World", and Lin Feng is unwilling to face it.

If you choose to cooperate with Tencent, it will undoubtedly be a win-win situation. The "Second World" can save software development costs, as well as additional server and corresponding network bandwidth costs, just by enjoying the results. As for Tencent, on the basis of text chat, it has developed an instant voice chat function, which can further establish the absolute dominance of the domestic chat software industry. Perhaps it can rely on the counter-strike online Asia Internet to go abroad and go abroad to join icq. Compete. What the "Second World" loses is to lose an opportunity to enter the chat software industry.

After a little thought, Lin Feng decided to cooperate with Tencent. The fiasco of Pepsi Cola back then, Lin Feng can keep in mind that he has enough "enemies" now, and there is no need to provoke Tencent, an absolute hegemon in the domestic chat software industry, not to mention that he also owns 10% of Tencent. It is also Tencent's third largest shareholder after Milad International Holdings Group and Ma Huateng. Lin Feng didn't have to destroy the good cooperative relationship between himself and Ma Huateng for a chat software with bleak prospects.

Wu Zhaopu nodded, although he felt a little regret, but he agreed more. After all, although the “Second World” business is thriving, it is still very fragile compared to those overseas companies that have been established for more than a decade, and there is no qualification to set foot in other industries for the time being. Lin Feng's decision just cut off that little fantasy in Wu Zhaopu's heart, and it can also ensure the steady development of the "Second World".

After discussing the details with Wu Zhaopu, Lin Feng called Ma Huateng.

"Haha, national hero, call me so free today?" Ma Huateng was in a great mood. After Tencent went public in Hong Kong, the stock has gone up all the way, and now it has risen from the issue price of 12.4 yuan to 18.54 yuan, and the company's performance is also booming. After receiving a call from Lin Feng, he joked.

"Haha, Dong Ma is in a good mood!" Lin Feng smiled, and after a few words of greeting, he opened the door. "Dong Ma, I need an instant voice chat tool. I need a partner. In the chat software industry, I want to do it domestically. There is no better company than Tencent." Lin Feng complimented.

Everyone loves to listen to flattery, especially when this flattery comes from Lin Feng's mouth, it's even more different. Lin Feng has just been named China's youngest and richest man by the Hurun Report. His status and status are not comparable in the past, and his remarks naturally made MCA excited.

Voice chat tool? ——Lin Feng's words made Ma Huateng's eyes brighten.

"Lin Dong, I think we should meet and discuss in detail, this will be extremely beneficial to both of us." Ma Huateng keenly perceives the business opportunities here. Tencent can use counter-strike onlnie Asia Internet’s Dongfeng to break into other Asian markets, and instant voice chat tools are not troublesome for Tencent. They have sufficient technical and professional support, not to mention Tencent is also preparing to develop this area. market.

"Well, but I'm really busy this time..." Lin Feng said embarrassedly. I really don't have time to fly to Shenzhou during this period, and I can only hope that Ma Huateng will come to Shanghai. However, Ma Huateng is now the chairman of a listed company, and in the domestic world of seniority, Lin Feng is not easy to tell Ma Huateng to fly to Shanghai to meet him, otherwise he will fall into a arrogant and defiant statement.

"Haha, it's okay, I can fly to Shanghai." Ma Huateng laughed. As long as you can make money, you will lose face when you make money, not to mention Confucius said: The best is the first. In the business world, although he made his debut earlier than Lin Feng, he was not as successful as Lin Feng. He needs to learn from Lin Feng.

"Then it would be offensive. I don't know when Ma Dong can arrive in Shanghai?" Lin Feng asked.

"Tomorrow I will be in Shanghai. Okay, Lin Dong, I have something to say, so I won't talk more. We will talk in detail when we meet tomorrow." Ma Huateng said and hung up.

Lin Feng nodded and solved the problem of player communication. For Counter-Strike online, it solved the problem of the lack of real-time communication among the players in different directions. This is definitely a good thing for the players. There are more choices in tactics. , And will not worry about losing a game because of lack of ambition.

Lin Feng looked at his watch and found that the two technicians from Valve were almost in Shanghai, and Lin Feng asked the company's public relations department to pick up the plane.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Feng saw valve company technicians resisting the company, he was stunned. It was not only the two technicians who had contacted before, but also the CEO of Valve, Gable Newell, and Minhle, the father of "cs".

auzw.com "Gable, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you who came. If I knew that you were also here, I would definitely pick up the plane myself." Lin Feng hurriedly got up and said with a look of regret.

"Haha, it's okay, Lin, we are also uninvited." Gable shook hands with Lin Feng enthusiastically and laughed.

"Why don't you take a break today, and tomorrow we will discuss in detail about the revision plan of Counter-Strike Online." Lin Feng saw Gable and the others with a haggard look and suggested.

"It's okay, let's start now, and I have very important things to talk to you this time." Gable said seriously.

Lin Feng stunned, nodded, and invited a group of people into the conference room.

"Lin, we have already discussed in detail about your plan to revise Counter-Strike online, but the problem is very big." After Gable took his seat, he was straight to the point.

Lin Feng frowned, did not speak, and waited for Gable to follow.

Cover %%, but look at minh-le.

"Lin, the design of Counter-Strike online was based on the stand-alone version of Counter-Strike. Therefore, the original design theory was also modeled on the local interconnection, but it was networked and added a little new element, but it is still a map that can accommodate up to 32 people. Now, if we want to modify each map to accommodate more players, I am afraid that it will cause fundamental damage to the structure of the game. And there is another problem. The 3d engine of our game is the quake engine of the purchased'id-software'. Too much pursuit of the splendor on the screen, if there are more players on a map, there will be some technical problems, and there is another point, the current computer hardware configuration cannot support more players to play on the same map at the same time, even if we can develop it , I am afraid that most of the players' computers cannot withstand the configuration requirements required for the game." Minh-le said helplessly.

"Can't it be increased at all? You have to know that the fun of online games lies in multiplayer games at the same time. If the number of players is too small, there is no difference from the local area network, which is not suitable for the development of online games." Lin Feng said.

"Sorry, there are only 32 people at most, and it can't be added. If you want to increase, I am afraid this modification will be drastic and can not be completed in a short day. There are too many parameters and various game data involved in it, and it will be a move. Pull the whole body. I suggest not to modify this aspect." Minh-le shook his head and said helplessly.

Lin Feng frowned deeper.

"I'm sorry, this is because we didn't think about it well in the design." Gable came out to make a round. This is indeed because their original concept of online games was a bit vague, which led to the current situation. And he didn't expect Lin Feng to come up with a cross-century plan for "Asia Interconnection".

"However, other aspects can indeed be modified, but I suggest not to modify it for the time being." Minh-le suggested.

"No modification?" Lin Feng felt that although the current Counter-Strike online was fun, he thought it was not much different from LAN, and was far inferior to the interstellar online classic that Lin Feng played before his rebirth. The battlefield that can hold thousands of people, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles, and imaginable weapons of war can all appear in the game, making almost no one to play.

Of course, there was an unavoidable problem of Interstellar online at that time, which was that the computer configuration was relatively harsh, and many players' computers could not run Interstellar online smoothly.

"Yes, because this game was a bit wrong when we set it up. The concept is wrong, no matter how you modify it, it will not be inconsistent, and it will not meet your requirements." Minh-le sighed. The feeling of self-denial is not good, but he has to admit that the original design concept of himself and others did go wrong. After all, online games are online games, which are too different from stand-alone games.

Lin Feng's brows furrowed. If he doesn't modify it, the current situation is not bad, but it is obviously unable to reach the height required by Lin Feng.

"Haha, Lin, don't frown, because we have brought a brand new game development plan. This plan will definitely satisfy you. That's why I came together with Minh." Seeing Lin Feng's face frowning, Gabor smiled.

Gable's words refreshed Lin Feng's spirit.
