The programmers of Xishanju mocked Korean games based on their traditional understanding of electronic games. At this time, no one in the world could imagine the real development potential of online games, including those online game developers in South Korea.

In the 1990s, software piracy was very serious and was not inferior to that of Chinese colleagues.

Therefore, South Korea's stand-alone game market also tended to collapse, until "Wind Country" emerged in 1996. Strictly speaking, "Wind Country" is just a game that graphically shaped mud, but it took the lead in establishing the charging model of online games, bringing the game market that has been brutally eroded by piracy to revitalize.

The success of "Wind Kingdom" has enabled South Korean stand-alone game developers to quickly transform into the online game field, and the landmark work "Paradise" was born.

It was not until the release of "Paradise" that people began to find the right direction of online games. "Paradise" not only has a profound influence in China, but also in the whole world. It contains almost all the successful elements of mmorpg, and European and American manufacturers are also learning from the experience of "Paradise".

A "Paradise" made online games completely popular in South Korea. The size of the Korean online game market reached 16 million US dollars in 1999. Countless Korean game manufacturers followed up and flourished two years later. The size of the Korean online game market was only 17 million US dollars in 2000, and by 2001 it directly turned into 26.3 million US dollars!

So capital shows its power.

First of all, the first games to seize the market, such as "Paradise", "mu", "Legend of Wonderland", began to join forces to squeeze out other games to enter the market. Most Korean online games cannot recover their costs in South Korea and can only find breakthroughs overseas. The Chinese market is one of them and the largest one.

Entering the overseas market is very risky, and 100 games cannot guarantee success. Therefore, capital's quick success has emerged. 99% of Korean online game manufacturers began to give up their pursuit of confrontation and won by quantity crazily. Anyway, games with extremely similar content are sold in foreign markets like lottery draws, and Korean online games have quickly entered a dead end.

It only took three years for Korean online games to go from becoming popular to death.

After some market cleaning and reorganization, casual games such as "Karts" and "Adventure Island" finally brought back Korean online games.

At this moment, no one could predict that the Korean online games that have just become popular will be in a turbulent situation in the next few years. It is even more impossible for China. Telecom is still busy studying how to promote broadband services, and even broadband infrastructure is still in a meeting to discuss.

As for China's bandwidth generally has a network speed of only 14.4kb-56kb. Who can you make up your mind to play online games?

Therefore, when Song Weiyang insisted on his own and decided to set up an online game project team, he was collectively opposed by Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun.

Song Weiyang, who never interfered in the operation of Kingsoft Company, expressed his tough attitude for the first time and even called Zhang Xuanlong to Xiangshan for a board meeting.

No matter how Song Weiyang explained, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun did not agree. They believed that they should wait first, at least wait until China's Internet speed generally reaches more than 100kb before they have the basic environment for online games to survive. Now, online games can only be used as pioneers and martyrs.

This view cannot be said to be wrong, and it is extremely correct.

In history, the first Chinese manufacturers who represented online games were basically all martyrs. The success of "Legend" and the slow popularity of broadband was a prerequisite, which brought too many Internet cafe users.

But Song Weiyang is not short of money. He firmly believes that he can survive the difficult times and now he must train his technical team and operation team in advance.

As long as you can survive, you will lead one step at a time!

Without reasoning, Song Weiyang slapped the table and said, "If you don't agree with the online game plan, then I will withdraw my investment. Anyway, the funds have not been fully transferred, so the money that has been received will be regarded as my liquidated damages! There are many studios that make games now, so I will buy another one!"

Lei Jun wanted to speak but stopped, so he turned his attention to Qiu Bojun.

Qiu Bojun is a person who doesn't care much. He wants to speak but stops, so he turns his attention to Zhang Xuanlong.

Zhang Xuanlong smiled bitterly and said, "I don't understand games very much. You are a major shareholder, so let's listen to you."

Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun looked at each other and were forced to agree to Song Weiyang's plan, but they demanded strict control of online game project funds.

In this way, Xishanju's first online game project was passed, and he directly focused on the most popular "Paradise" abroad for imitation.

Song Weiyang also told Zou Tao, the project team leader: "Don't mess with so many fancy content. The simpler and more crude, the better. The game positioning is that even fools can quickly get started. There are three types of game characters: warriors, archers and magicians. The most exciting thing is to be able to pk and compete for equipment between each other."

Zou Tao was also stunned when he heard this.

Zou Tao has his own pursuit of games, such as creating a big world background, writing a sad and beautiful hero love story, and setting up complex and perfect professions, skills and equipment systems. Now, Song Weiyang's order is equivalent to asking Zou Tao, who is planning to build an armored combat vehicle, to get a farm tractor out to play.

This boss is poisonous!

Anyway, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun were too lazy to care about it, and they were blind to the eyes. They just acted as an online game project team that did not exist, so they would no longer ask what the online game could be made.

Zou Tao's online game project team was exiled. His father and his mother didn't love him. He received project funds regularly every month. These guys were messing around. Who knew what a weird game he could make.

Song Weiyang doesn’t care, isn’t it just spending money?

...

Things have been arranged on Kingsoft Software, and Song Weiyang is preparing to return to Shenghai.

That morning, Shen Si held a stack of publications and said to Song Weiyang who was having a meal in the hotel: "Boss, today's newspapers and magazines have been sorted out for you."

Shen Si is very careful in her work. She thinks that the more important news is specially marked with a red pen.

Song Weiyang was eating breakfast while reading the news, and soon discovered a strange phenomenon: several national newspapers, industrial and commercial magazines and computer publications were reporting on a website called "Yanhuang Online".

Yanhuang Online's website is very domineering, and this domain name is worth at least 1 million yuan.

There are many big newspapers, full pages of Yanhuang online advertisements, with only one sentence on the advertising slogan: Let's make big together!

What a terrible thing, where did this weird thing come from?

In the next few days, Yanhuang Online's reports and advertisements were overwhelming, directly snatching the limelight from Sina and Sohu, and has become the leader in China's Internet industry.

Top Company announced that it would invest 600 million yuan to build Yanhuang Online, which is aimed at building a Chinese online community across five continents. Not long after, the website was transformed into a global Chinese business website, and in a few days it became a solution expert in the retail industry.

So, is Yanhuang Online an online community or a commercial website? Or an e-commerce website?

Nothing isn't true!

This is a farce of cheating money and hyping.

There was a young rural man named Song Ruhua. He was from a poor family and lost his mother at the age of seven. He was admitted to university through hard work. During his time at school, he set eight principles for himself: he did not go abroad, did not do business, did not smoke, did not drink, did not sing, dance, watched movies, and went to the park. He studied hard. He graduated with excellent grades and stayed at school as a teacher. He was promoted to associate professor by exception and won the "Special Prize for Youth Teaching and Educating in the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering."

During the Southern Tour of 1992, Song Ruhua violated his oath of not doing business and became a member of the army. He rode a tricycle to resell computers everywhere, and made a lot of money by distributing software, becoming a wealthy little boss.

If Song Ruhua died in a car accident at this time, then his life will be positive and worthy of praise and learning.

However, this guy encircled a 100-acre cauliflower field in Xikang Province, and put a brand called "Western Software Park", and then held a press conference. This software park with only one broken brand was actually valued by the leaders of the central and Xikang Province. Because the economic backwardness of the western region has now emerged, a high-tech park is like a firefly in the dark night. It is directly listed as one of the four "first batch of national torch plan software industry bases" in the country.

The second-in-command of Xikang Province personally led the team and handed over a loss-making state-owned enterprise to the person who went public through a backdoor listing. It was in Rongping City, only a 10-minute drive from Xifeng headquarters.

Song Ruhua himself was stunned and then was ecstatic! He began to build various momentum, and raised the company's stock price from 0.01 yuan to 6 yuan that year, and raised the stock price to 24.58 yuan the next year.

A young man from the mountain village who once studied hard, an associate professor who taught carefully, and a young boss who was once rushing to the wind and rain, became a big capitalist who played with finance.

Song Ruhua couldn't stop at all and kept replicating this model: he negotiated with local governments, claimed that he would invest 100 million yuan to build a grand software park in the local area, and promised to introduce hundreds of software companies within a few years to make it the largest high-tech park in the province.

Such an attractive business plan made the local government completely unable to refuse. The ones who were deceived include: An City, Shaozhou, Jinling, Jiacheng, Taicheng, Weidao, Wuxi, Changshi... In a few years, Song Ruhua's software park has been opened in dozens of provinces and cities across the country, turning into China's largest "it landlord"!

Now it is estimated that the software park project is not easy to do, and the local government has also learned it well, so Song Ruhua began to enter the Internet again.

Song Weiyang casually checked Top Company’s public information and past financial reports, and it was so funny that this person was really fucking lying!

Is it because his surname is Song?

Song Weiyang was too lazy to care about this guy’s mess, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he returned to Shenghai, he received an interview invitation from "Chinese Entrepreneur".

This magazine could not be rejected, and Song Weiyang could only agree to accept an interview. The reporter said straight to the point: "Boss Song, the Internet industry has developed rapidly in the past two years. Our Chinese Entrepreneur magazine is preparing to do an Internet special topic. You are the major shareholder of Sohu.com and Sogou Search, and you are the most famous young entrepreneur in China, so we would like to ask you to talk about your views on the Internet."

"No problem." Song Weiyang smiled.

The reporter discussed the development prospects of the Internet with Song Weiyang and started talking about Chinese Internet companies. The reporter suddenly said: "The most famous Chinese website is Yanhuang Online now. How does Boss Song evaluate this website?"

Song Weiyang asked with a smile: "Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

"Of course it's the truth." The reporter said.

Song Weiyang said: "Besides the domain name of Yanhuang Online, everything else is fake. Why do you want to invest 600 million yuan? If he makes 6 million yuan, I will run directly at the Bund for three hours."
