Vol 2 Chapter 526: "Mortal Kombat"

Chapter 526 Mortal Kombat

Avril’s concert ended with screams from the audience.

Lin Feng accompanied Avril for a midnight snack and strolled around the night view of Seoul. After waiting for Avril to fall asleep, Lin Feng got up and left and rushed to the Seoul International Airport to return to Shanghai.

While waiting for the plane in the terminal, Lin Feng looked at the time. Now, at 2pm, US time, he directly called Michelle, the manager of the Boeing Company’s business department.

"Hi, Mr. Michel, when will the three aircraft I ordered be finished?" Lin Feng asked.

On the phone, Michelle, Boeing's business manager, heard Lin Feng's voice, and his voice suddenly became enthusiastic.

"Haha, it turned out to be Mr. Lin. Within a week, the two Boeing 767-300er and one Boeing 737 you ordered will be completely decorated. They are all in accordance with Mr. Lin's instructions, which will definitely satisfy you. In fact, it could have been. Hurry up, but your request is really troublesome, so it took a while." Michelle said with a smile.

This time, Lam Feng ordered two Boeing 767-300er, one Boeing 737, and the interior decoration and rectification of three aircraft. The total cost was 400 million U.S. dollars. This is no less than orders from some small countries. Therefore, Michelle is particularly enthusiastic about Lin Feng.

Of course, Lin Feng’s 400 million US dollars is not in vain. The three Boeing aircrafts are decorated and magnificent, especially the Boeing 767-300er named "Wind Wings" by Lin Feng. The "Air Force One" on which the President of the United States is flying is poor, and even worse in some respects. Of course, the final decoration results can only be seen after Boeing's decoration is completed.

However, the 400 million US dollars almost emptied Lin Feng’s personal assets. Fortunately, the arrogant "fool" Suleiman bought the "Haizhu" for 680 million US dollars, after deducting 10% of the commission and related taxes and handling fees. , Lin Feng's personal account once again added 610 million US dollars. Looking at the extra 610 million US dollars in his account, Lin Feng really likes this way of making money. It is fast and cool. Unfortunately, this kind of "fool" is really rare, and it is not every time that Li Ka-shing has such a super The rich came out to cooperate with them.

As for the three Boeing planes ordered, the Boeing 737 was given to the Houston Rockets for use in away games. The Boeing 767-300er named "Wind Wings" was used by Lin Feng himself, and the other was given to Avril. , This is the gift that Lin Feng gave to Avril to celebrate the opening of her global concert, and there will be a surprise in it. It was also this surprise that caused Boeing’s headaches for a long time and had to spend a few more days. Otherwise, I am afraid that Lin Feng has now taken his own "Wind Wings" and flew back to Shanghai from Seoul, South Korea.

When the day was dimly light, Lin Feng arrived in Shanghai, took a bath and changed clothes before going to the company. Before returning, Lin Feng called Wu Zhaopu and asked him to prepare for today's daytime press conference. The first is to announce that Mr. Jin Yong will become the game consultant of the swordsman's love and loyalty to serve the country; the second is also to announce that his film entertainment company has been authorized by Mr. Jin Yong to adapt the film and television adaptation of 14 "Books of Heaven".

Both of these events will obviously cause an absolute sensation. In particular, Lin Feng wanted to know how director Zhang Jizhong would look when Mr. Jin Yong sold himself the film and television adaptation rights of the 14 "Books of Heaven" for the symbolic price of "1 yuan".

"Brother Lin, you are back!" At this moment, Li Zhiyou, who was sleeping upstairs, heard the noise downstairs, and quickly got up. Now at night Huang Meixi is sometimes hungry, and she will get up to eat for a long time. Although Li Zhiyou is very entangled, he is kind-hearted, and he is afraid that Huang Meixi will have an accident. Therefore, as long as there is noise at home, he will get up and take a look. As for the Filipino domestic helper, you can rely on it, but you must not rely on it. What really happened, it's no use killing them.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyou went downstairs and unexpectedly found that Lin Feng was back, and his face was suddenly happy.

"Youyou, it's only past 5 o'clock now, you can sleep more." Lin Feng looked at Li Zhiyou with a sleepy look, hugged him gently, and said with pity.

"En, but Brother Lin, are you hungry? Let me make breakfast for you!" Li Zhiyou said as he walked to the kitchen.

"No, I'll go out for a bite later, you can go to bed." Lin Feng waved his hand.

"Brother Lin, there are some cakes here. I was afraid that Meixi would be hungry at night, so I reserved some for you to eat." Li Zhiyou brought four plates of cakes from the side. They were extremely delicate. "Rose pine nuts", "Fu Ling soft cake", "Emerald sweet cake", "Lotus root flour ham dumplings" that I have tasted at Jin Yong's home.

The four-plate dim sum is exquisite in shape and amazing, as if every cake is not made for eating, but for fun.

"I'm a little bit reluctant to eat." Lin Feng joked softly.

"Brother Lin, eat it quickly. I will do it later when I get up. What's more, if I don't eat it now, it won't be delicious after a long time." Li Zhiyou gently picked up a piece of "Tuckahoe Soft Cake" and delivered it to him. Lin Feng's mouth.

The entrance is soft and fragrant. Cooking has improved again! ——Lin Feng sighed. This trip to Hong Kong has not only gained a lot for myself, but also Li Zhiyou. Learned a few famous dishes in Jin Yong's novels. The four dishes of "Rose Pine Nuts", "Fu Ling Soft Cake", "Jade Cookies" and "Lotus Root Fen Ham Dumplings" are four of the dishes of the Society.

"Brother Lin, try this'Emerald Cookie' again!" Li Zhiyou picked up another "Emerald Cookie", held it in his other hand, and passed it to Lin Feng's mouth with a gentle expression.

Lin Feng opened his mouth lightly, and the "Jade Cookie" was sent to Lin Feng's mouth, and the mouth melted. Naturally, the pastry will not melt in the mouth, it is Lin Feng's heart that "melts".

After the warm pastry, just after dawn, after kissing Li Zhiyou goodbye, Lin Feng drove to the company by car.

auzw.com Wu Zhaopu also came to the company early, waiting for Lin Feng.

"Mr. Wu, why did you come so early?" Lin Feng was taken aback when he saw Wu Zhaopu. Since I came so early, I also want to go to the company early to check the comments of netizens and players on the company's games on the Internet, and of course, the players' suggestions on the game. It has almost become Lin Feng's habit to comment on the opinions of players online. Although there are many boring abuses, there are indeed many insights, and many suggestions are quite good and worth learning from.

"Boss, I didn't come so early, because I didn't go home at all." Wu Zhaopu approached at this time, and Fang could see the two dark circles on his face.

Lin Feng was slightly startled, turned around and poured a cup of coffee for Wu Zhaopu.

"Mr. Wu, you are the minister of the humerus of our company. You have to pay more attention to your body, or you will fall. Where can I find another such good vice president." Lin Feng handed the coffee to Wu Zhaopu, jokingly.

"No way, I'm just this toil, otherwise you can't have the leisure life of walking around." Wu Zhaopu took the coffee and said jokingly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Boss, you are here just right. I received a call from Takashi Nishiyama yesterday. When he was planning the King of Fighters online in the United States and Europe, when European and American players "entered into the alliance", he found that European and American players are obviously not as enthusiastic about the King of Fighters online as their rivals Street Fighter and Tekken. Also, first-person shooter games are the favorite among European and American players. This time when Takashi Nishiyama was communicating with several European and American game clubs, the other party suggested that our company should also set up counter-strike e-sports like the King of Fighters online. League." Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng nodded when he heard that, European and American players seemed to have a natural preference for first-person shooting games, and it is normal to make such a suggestion.

"So after discussing with me, Takashi Nishiyama and I think that our company can set up a counter-strike e-sports league." Wu Zhaopu said, he paused slightly. "Before the boss proposed to organize a sports (fifa2002 football), real-time strategy The "e-sports league" of the category (StarCraft) and shooting category (Counter Strike), but it was temporarily shelved due to lack of manpower, the company has just been established, etc., but now we have the funds, and now the game development teams are operating well. Just take this opportunity to launch this e-sports league." Wu Zhaopu said excitedly.

Lin Fengzhi was also moved when he heard that the "e-sports league" is indeed a very viable project, which Lin Feng wanted to host before. However, at that time, due to various factors, it has not been able to take shape. Now it seems that it should be the time. But now my company only has the copyright of the King of Fighters and Counter-Strike, and other games, such as fifa football and StarCraft, must obtain copyright permission. Of course, it is not difficult to get the copyright of these games, but Lin Feng's purpose is not just to hold it once a year like "wcg" and "eswc", and the games involved must not only be so few.

"By the way, what is Xishan doing?" Lin Feng thought for a while and asked.

"Xishan is negotiating the authorization of mortal-kbat with the ‘midway’ company in the United States. He hopes to make mortal-kbat the online king of fighters in Europe and America." Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, with doubts on his face. The name of this mortal-kbat is too unfamiliar, Lin Feng has never heard of it. Before "Rebirth", I was a standard game fan. Although I can't talk about "hardcore", I can be regarded as a "senior person". I shouldn't have played this mortal-kbat game before. Even if I haven't played it, I should listen to it. Said.

After a careful aftertaste, Lin Feng patted his thigh, it turned out to be it!

Mortal-kbat is its original English name, and most Chinese players don’t know it. However, when it comes to its Chinese translation, Lin Feng believes that all Chinese players should know that it is the famous-Mortal Kombat (or called Mogong). empire). (Currently there are 4 generations in total)

When it comes to Mortal Kombat, Lin Feng felt excited, no, even a little crazy.

Mortal Kombat was launched in 1992. At the beginning of its launch, this game was actually not favored by European and American gaming experts. Mortal Kombat played with real characters as fighting characters, and the fighting style was also unique, which seemed a bit different at the time. Moreover, this game is known for its blood and violence, with violent heads, severed limbs and other pictures as selling points, and many experts even assert that it will be a "street-strike" work.

Unexpectedly, things were unexpected. It broke the sales record of fighting games at the time within one week of its launch, reaching an astonishing weekly sales of 2 million copies. In particular, the "bloody and violent" images criticized by experts have not been abandoned by the players, but they are particularly enthusiastic about them, and even put it down. For a while, countless Mortal Kombat fans have emerged.

Lin Feng has never played this game on an arcade machine. The main reason is that the game is too violent and bloody. At that time, it was almost universally restricted in Asian countries, and many arcade halls were not allowed to operate this arcade game at all. When Lin Feng played this game, he still played it on Nintendo's "sfc" (domestic players nicknamed "Super Ren"). At that time, Lin Feng and his classmates killed the sky in the dark, with blood boiling all over.

Lin Feng remembers that Mortal Kombat has a very unique setting. Every time when the game is about to end, the winning player can decide the fate of the losing player. You can choose to let the opponent go, you can also choose to kick the opponent with one kick, or even go to a **** violent head, or smash the body and other cruel victory screens.

Lin Feng preferred to dig his heart at the time! The last move is to dig out the opponent's heart! At the time, I only felt that this was very pleasant, but now that I think about it, it is indeed too bloody. (But this also has something to do with the school pressure. To vent, students need to vent.)

Of course, it was precisely because the images of Mortal Kombat were too **** and violent, even in European and American countries, it was extremely shocking at the time, and it caused an uproar, sparked a huge controversy in the game industry at that time, and directly gave birth to the abbreviation. An organization such as the "Entertainment Software Rating Committee" of "esrb" to classify the age of game software, and Mortal Kombat is the first game listed as "18 ban" and can only be sold to adult players .

(Therefore, from a certain point, Mortal Kombat can be said to be the originator of violent and **** games in later generations.)

Although Mortal Kombat has been controversial, "midway" has become a well-known manufacturer by virtue of Mortal Kombat, and is listed as one of the top 20 global game companies.

If Takashi Nishiyama can get the authorization of Mortal Kombat, it would be good to adapt it to Mortal Kombat online. It will also adopt the "loser pay system" of the King of Fighters online. With the character of European and American players who are not willing to admit defeat, this game must be equally capable. big sale. Although in terms of the player base, European and American players cannot compare with Asian players, but players from the two continents of Europe and the United States can compete with players from one continent.

The prospects are great! The suggestion is feasible!
