Chapter 122 Counter-Strike Released
ps: Chapter 110, 111 has been revised. Please read it first and look back to avoid incoherent plots.
On Christmas Eve, it was snowing heavily.
Wang Anran and Situ Xinyan took a taxi to Qianmen Street.
Situ Xinyan introduced: "Senior brother, don't look at the decoration here, the roast duck restaurant in Bianyifang is so famous. Yanjing is authentic and worth trying."
Wang Anran has been in Beijing for so many years and actually came here to eat roast duck for the first time. He hurriedly asked, "Isn't it just a roast duck? What's the point?"
Speaking of eating, Situ Xinyan seems to be very good at it.
"Senior brother, this is too important to be too big. I often talk about food culture and food culture. If the food is added with culture, it will be much more interesting. You can taste the delicious food while experiencing the mood of the ancients."
"The mood of the ancients?"
Situ Xinyan didn't explain and turned to Wang Anran and asked, "Senior Brother, do you know how many years of history the Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant has?"
Wang Anyran didn't know.
"For more than five hundred years, this Bianyifang was already in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Imagine that Zhu Di once sat in your current position to enjoy delicious food. Doesn't he feel like he is the supreme?"
Wang Anran shook his head. He was sure that Zhu Di would not sit on the square table and eat roast duck. As the emperor, even if he sat, he should at least lay a gold cushion on the stool.
It took more than half an hour to eat this meal. When he went out, Wang Anran and Shan Lei met unexpectedly. Shan Lei came with her roommate Lou Jing, and I thought he had come here to try the roast duck from Bianyifang.
"Hello, Wang Anran!"
"Ha... What a coincidence, you guys come here to eat roast duck too?"
Wang Anran's expression was unnatural, and he suddenly felt like he had an affair, although both girls had nothing to do with him.
The two of them greeted them simply.
Lou Jing pulled Dan Lei into the house to order food.
Situ Xinyan asked Wang Anran at the door if he wanted to watch a movie.
Wang Anran was boring and shook his head and said, "It's too heavy to fall under the snow. No matter how late the car is, you can't get in the car. Let's do it today!"
…………
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Wang Anran waited for Rebs' international long distance as promised.
Jiang Yan’s battle report in the United States, all 250,000 VD/DVD DVD players were sold within two hours.
Jiang Yan has begun to accept new reservations, and now 230,000 people have submitted deposits.
The sales of 250,000 units is only 50 to 60 million US dollars, which is far inferior to Huaxin Technology's graphics cards. However, this at least shows that Jiang Yan's first shot into the US market has already started.
At present, there is no shortage of VD CDs, and the content of VD is much worse. After obtaining more support from the film and publishers, Jiang Yan's DVD will surely have explosive growth.
Of course, this is also a long-term process. The key to the problem is to let these film manufacturers see the profits brought by DVD video compression.
Of course, Jiang Yan can also purchase the CD ownership of these videos, but the cost is much higher.
Wang Anran's opinion is to purchase as much disc rights as possible from the profits Jiang Yan obtains.
"Mr. Lei, it is very important to buy movie copyright. Don't forget that Panasonic, Sony, and Philips are all studying DVD technology. When they develop results, what will happen if they control the film source? Jiang Yan's DVD is incompatible with them."
"Isn't this a bottomless pit? There are so many movies produced every year, so Jiang Yan has to spend money on it?"
Wang Anran shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true. As long as Jiang Yan's DVD can occupy more than 30% of the market, such a user base will not be underestimated by any publisher, and no one can reject such a large market."
Rebs nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, I understand. What Jiang Yan has to do now is to ship as much as possible. The more they ship, the stronger our DVD standards are."
Wang Anran nodded. There must be a battle in the battle between DVD standards. Jiang Yan cannot swallow the entire market by himself. It needs friends. Moreover, Jiang Yan's weakness is that he does not have his own optical drive technology and no corresponding data burning patents.
Wang Anran considered whether Jiang Yan should open the decoding technology, and like Huaxin Technology, it provides decoding chips and solutions to the outside world.
Let’s take advantage of the market dividends first. How to grasp this time node? Wang Anran wants to hear Rebs’ opinions.
...
A few days later, the Counter-Strike released a high-profile release on Hong Kong Island.
The venue of ten thousand people invited more than 70 media outlets, and more than 100 microcomputers were lined up on the spot.
More than 3,000 gamers were fooled by providing a lottery.
Player Country made a big move at the beginning, which naturally attracted the attention of the media.
The banner of the player country is the world's first pure 3D personal shooting game, which also aroused the curiosity of ordinary people who are eating melons.
The highlight of the press conference is experience.
“fire, open fire!”
“gogo!”
“Over me!”
“You take the point!”
Bang...bang...bang...bang...
The game instantly attracted the attention of the audience at the beginning.
"W, he is behind you, fuck him."
"Ak47 is too real, the guns are so pounding."
"Idiot, this gun can only be fired. Next time I can get m16."
"This scene can still cause blood to be shot, too..."
"I actually sprayed the picture after doing it. Do you want to live? Let's have another game. I will dismember you this time."
It is extremely easy for Counter-Strike to get started, but if you want to practice your marksmanship well, you rely on talent.
This time, the player country did not find any support, and the players on the scene made the scene very exciting.
The first batch of players who experienced it had not yet reached the time, and the players below were already impatient to wait.
"It's time, come down, I'll try it!"
"What's the hurry? Isn't it still more than thirty seconds?"
"You are right, you're not wrong. If you enter the game for more than thirty seconds, you will basically pass."
"I can't see!"
Babu, a special correspondent of the e3 game exhibition, was trying on a machine. When the time came, he sighed: "I didn't expect that the Chinese would develop such a creative game.
I can conclude that every player who has tried will always install it on his computer as soon as possible. It seems that the Counter-Strike will definitely be the stars of the audience in the e3 game exhibition in May next year."
The Counter-Strike price is $39, which is not expensive or cheap. More than 3,000 copies of OPY were sold in the venue.
The issuing manufacturer's orders were big, and the first batch was ordered for more than 300,000 copies of the OPY.
Player Kingdom announced that before the e3 game exhibition in April 1995, the World Counter-Strike Competition will be held on Hong Kong Island, with the highest prize of US$100,000.
There was a joy for a moment, and the player country also became famous on this day.
Wang Anran was not surprised by the popularity of the Counter-Strike. This era lacked excellent products, and three years later, the release of the Counter-Strike caused a sensation.
Wang Anran just ignited the 3D game market in advance.
And Microsoft is already in a state of mind. They learned at the first time that the Counter-Strike can only be installed in the Hongmeng SSP system...
Chapter completed!
