Vol 2 Chapter 21: Piracy Door

(The collection keeps dropping, Sanjiang is always out of play. It's a long way from the shelves, and the Qixi Festival is happy!)

At noon the next day, Lin Feng received a call from Meng Dong. During the phone call, Meng Dong told Lin Feng that the municipal government held an executive meeting in the morning to focus on yesterday’s report on the injury incident of Daya Chemical in Chutian Fengcai, and set up a special investigation team, which was jointly dispatched by the Public Security Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau and other relevant departments. , Together with the investigation of Daya Chemical.

In this regard, Lin Feng is naturally not dissatisfied. However, Meng Dong finally said euphemistically that Lin Feng’s previous live broadcast conversational interviews were temporarily rejected, and he urged Lin Feng to cooperate in continuing to accept the interviews and still adopt the method of recording and broadcasting. This is also because Meng Dong was afraid that Lin Feng would take the opportunity to attack Hu Xiaoli when he was broadcasting. Therefore, it is more appropriate to record and broadcast for safety.

Lin Feng didn't express too much dissatisfaction with this, anyway, just take the opportunity to build the company's reputation.

After three consecutive days of reports on Lin Feng's independent visit, Lin Feng instantly became a celebrity in Chu City. After all, young and promising, plus it was the first multi-millionaire to be publicized in Chu City-or the US dollar.

This troubles Lin's style. When Jiang Dan reported, he also reported the signing of his contract with Tencent, and invited economic experts to analyze Lin Feng’s 5% of Tencent’s shares and 89.5% of the market value of Dingdang.com’s shares. The economic experts initially estimated the total The value is about 15 million U.S. dollars.

Once this report was broadcast, Lin Feng's troubles increased several times. Not only relatives and friends came to him, but various welfare organizations also came to him, begging Lin Feng to sponsor various welfare institutions, which made Lin Feng dumbfounded. Although according to economists' estimates, he does have $15 million in assets, but this is only an estimate. Before the stock failed to go public, he was a pauper and had no money to donate.

But what made Lin Feng even more depressed was that he said he had no money to donate, and no one believed it. Instead, he scolded him for being rich and unkind, and the villain was determined, which made Lin Feng very angry, but even more helpless. In the end, in order to avoid these people, Lin Feng didn't go to the company at all, and went directly to the optical disc factory.

After three days of rushing to work day and night, 20,000 CDs have been initially printed. In order to ensure that the game will not be sold by pirates in the first time, Lin Feng selected buyers from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other places from 90,000 orders, and there were no buyers from coastal places such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou. , After all, there is a base for piracy. Lin Feng didn't want the pirated version to leave the factory just after the CD.

After the game CD was sent out, I waited for another two days. When these players received the game trial, more personal videos were released online. All relevant game forums gave ter-strike (counter-strike) rave reviews. Players who did not get the game CD kept calling the company to urge them, and more orders came in.

When the printing of the second batch of 50,000 CDs by Lin Feng was completed, the order was increased by 50,000 copies, and Lin Feng and the owner of the company laughed from ear to ear.

However, problems were also exposed at this time. Since this game is an online battle, many players who get the CD can only be familiar with the game after installing it, and cannot play against it. If you want to really experience the fun of this game, you have to take the CD to the Internet cafe. Only some players who happen to be connected to the local area network with the residents of the same building can really enjoy the fun of this game. But even so, online is not convenient. After all, everyone’s rest time is not uniform.

Although many Internet cafe owners have also purchased ter-strike (counter-strike) CDs and installed them to provide local battles. But for a large number of buyers who own computers, the environment of Internet cafes is really incomparable with home.

In response to this situation, Lin Feng immediately contacted the valve development team and proposed a "robot" concept. After hearing this, Minhle, the father of cs, felt that this idea was very good, and immediately ordered the valve development team to develop this program. In less than a day, the robot program was successfully produced and put on the Internet for free download.

Lin Feng put it on the DingDang website to provide free downloads for players who bought the CD. With this program, sales increased again, and finally before the interview of the first pirated CD, Lin Feng sold a total of 200,000 copies. Although this sales volume is nothing compared to the millions of gods like Legend of Sword and Fairy, but for Lin Feng and the company as a whole, it is the largest single income since the establishment of the company.

200,000 copies, 20 yuan per copy, is a gross income of 4 million yuan. Excluding the cost of 3 yuan, Luo Tao's Sinicization Group earned 1 yuan, and the valve development group red was 40%. Lin Feng made a net profit of 0 million yuan this time, which was still cash. This allowed the shy Lin Feng to ease the company's economic crisis.

What makes Lin Feng even more pleased is that this ter-strike (counter-strike) sales boom, coupled with the cooperation with Tencent, has brought 100,000 registered sellers and 1 million registered buyers to Lin Feng’s Dingdong Netsports. , Nearly 10 million hits per day. Dingdang faintly has a tendency to compete with Yix.com.

auzw.com The so-called blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. While Lin Feng reaped good news, there were also unfavorable news.

"Hey, brother Lin, congratulations, the ter-strike (counter-strike) you sell on DingDang.com is so popular, it has made you a lot of money!" Ma Huateng suddenly called, congratulated first, and then his tone changed.

"But Brother Lin, shouldn't your game be a pirated version?" Ma Huateng's tone was unspeakably anxious.

"What do you mean?" Lin Feng was taken aback for a while.

"Someone posted on the Internet today that your game is actually a game sold by a foreign development team called valve. It is available for free download worldwide, and you make money by selling cd-key to provide global networking services. And your game does not provide any cds. －Key, saying that you are a pirate dealer. And alluding that we, Tencent, are also a pirate sales assistant.” Ma Huateng sent Lin Feng a website.

Lin Feng opened it, and it turned out to be a critical report on his own game sales this time. The report pointedly pointed out that Lin Feng was a pirate and appealed to all those who bought the CD to refund the money, otherwise they would be sued by foreign companies.

This incident was also dubbed the "piracy gate" incident by many netizens who responded. The players who bought the CD didn't care about it, just kept watching with the mood of watching the show. Who has never used pirated copies in China, not to mention the 20 yuan game, and it is so well-made, maybe it is genuine!

"Brother Lin, is this really the case?" Ma Huateng had to be anxious. Tengx.com is developing rapidly. If this "piracy door" incident affects the company's development, it would be too wrong for Ma Huateng. And his cooperation with Lin Feng was the most failed cooperation. If it doesn't, the entire Tengx network will be devastated.

Lin Feng naturally understood Ma Huateng's worries.

"Okay, Dong Ma, don't worry, I will send you a file and you will know it. But you must delete it after reading it." Lin Feng smiled and emailed the agreement signed with Minhle, the father of CS, to Ma Huateng.

"Okay, you Lin Feng, you really have you, which made me worry for nothing!" Ma Huateng was happy after reading it. Although this agreement is not visible, at least Lin Feng will not have any trouble, as long as the valve development team does not sue Lin. Feng, Lin Feng will not have any legal responsibility, and Tencent will not receive any involvement.

"Okay, I will find someone to post an article to refute that article Gunners." Ma Huateng calmed down, and his thoughts became more active. "This time the'piracy door' incident, I guess your competitor targeted you. An action. I just ordered the staff to check it. In the first post, the ip address should come from the internal ip of Yix.com. Hey, he wants to take advantage of your reputation and attack your Dingdong.com."

When Lin Feng heard this, his heart became sulky. Although shopping malls have entered the battlefield, it is too shameless for a company such as Tangtangyix.com to use such despicable methods. However, after thinking about it, the later e-x.net has done everything to help sellers with credit, which is also normal.

"Don't worry, Dong Ma, if I get the chance, I will pay them back for their'gift' this time." Lin Fengyin smiled.

"Haha, don't forget to notify me then. I have more than 30 million Tengx nets. This time he even wants to fix my Tengx nets, hum!" Ma Huateng hummed his nose.

"By the way, Dong Ma, I have something else I want to cooperate with you." Another idea suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

"Oh, let's just listen!" Ma Huateng deeply admired Lin Feng's series of actions, and secretly guessed what Lin Feng's idea this time was and how much profit it would bring to Tengx.com.
