Chapter 1948 Waiting for a long time

"Virtual Community Life Department" is headed by Vice President Gabby Neville.

"Lin, due to the transformation of games and the development of virtual communities, this time has not been affected by the impact of "World War". On the contrary, many people have exchanged their experiences through "Virtual Life". At present, everything is operating normally. Our direction in the future is

Integrate 'face-to-face' and strengthen cooperation with 'youtube' to expand the influence of "Virtual Life" in the virtual community." Gabby reported.

Lin Feng nodded.

"How is the situation in the hardware department now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Lin, the spider platform launched by our 'amd' has been accepted by many computer enthusiasts, and its market share has reached 37%. Although it is still not comparable to 'Intel', the prospects are bright. And this time in

The first dual-core processor launched on 'Dream' also allowed us to accumulate enough experience. We heard that 'Intel' was preparing to launch its first dual-core processor named 'Pentium D', so we decided to launch it on the same day as it to let the outside world know.

Which processor should I choose for dual-core?" - "AMD" Minister Lu Zhiyi said confidently.

"Lin, on our 'ati' side, we don't have anything worth saying. Currently, both 'nvidia' and 'ati' belong to you, and we are in a healthy competition." - "ati" Minister He Guoyuan said with emotion.

Originally, "ati" and "nvidia" were in a vicious competition. Both sides competed for performance and price, and it can be said that both sides were a bit overwhelmed. As a result, since "nvidia" was jointly acquired by Lin Feng and Ellison, the two parties reached a secret agreement.

You can continue to compete in terms of performance, but there is absolutely no unlimited price bargaining with each other, and sufficient profit margins are reserved for both parties. This is the benefit of monopoly.

Of course, monopoly is illegal and will be prosecuted by the Ministry of Commerce of various countries. However, "ati" officially belongs to Lin Feng, while "nvidia" officially belongs to Ellison, although everyone knows that Ellison and Lin

The wind is almost the same as wearing a pair of pants, but after all, the two parties are not the same person, and they do not belong to the same family. Therefore, the outside world can only stare.

"So what's going on with the 'Complete Computer Department' now?" Lin Feng asked. Currently, the "Complete Computer Department" is jointly headed by Lu Zhiyi and He Guoyuan.

"Lin, the current daily output can be as high as 100,000 units. Due to its selling price close to cost, the market response has been excellent." Lu Zhiyi said happily.

Lin Feng is not surprised by this. The whole computer is sold at a price close to cost. If the sales are not good, then Lin Feng can really jump into the sea.

"What about the software development department?" Lin Feng attaches great importance to this. On July 22 this year, "Microsoft" will launch a new "vista" system, and Lin Feng wants to enter the operating system industry. This is the best opportunity.

And now there is not much time.

"Boss, our operating system is currently developed based on the 'linux' system. The system used by 'Dream' is the system we are currently developing. According to the current feedback from the market, it is still very successful. But I want to work with '

I'm afraid it's still difficult for Microsoft to compete. First, it's not open enough, and secondly, it's not user-friendly enough, and it doesn't support enough software. These are things we need to solve urgently!" Cohen (who is responsible for "cloud computing") said worriedly.

"Cohen, please put more effort into this aspect. As for talents, I think we can contact those crackers. Although they are not recognized by the law, we must admit that their technology is very excellent. And

Our operating system is open, and I don’t think there is any ideological conflict with them, so if we provide them with wages, they should be willing to work for our company." Lin Feng thought for a while and said.

Cohen heard this and nodded. This is a good move to win over crack hackers. The only trouble is that most of these hackers are withdrawn and may not be willing to give in for money, but how do you know if you don't try everything?

Later, Lin Feng listened to the work reports of the "Customer Service Department", "Security Department" and other departments. After making a few targeted opinions, Lin Feng finally got to the point of today.

"Minwu, I think you must be holding yourself back!" Lin Feng glanced at Minwu Li, who had been holding back his words for a long time, and joked.

"Boss, you are really suffocating me. Today is the day when "War of the Worlds" is officially paid for. I don't know how many players outside are looking forward to it, but it turns out that you are doing well, taking your time and not being in a hurry, but you are not suffocating me to death.

" Minwu-Li shouted.

Everyone laughed.

"Tell me, let me introduce the current situation of "World War"." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Boss, at present, small countries have begun to appear in "World War", and wars between countries occur almost every day. However, there is still a long way to go before we can achieve the 'national war' we are looking forward to.

"After all, the player's current attack range is limited, which is restricted by the player's transportation and food." Minwu-Li lamented.

There has never been a game that values ​​food and grass as much as "World War". In "World War", if there is no food and grass, let alone fighting, even survival will be a problem. And more importantly, food and grass are a real necessity.

It is transported by manpower or material resources. Unlike other games, a backpack can contain so much food and water that it will never be eaten.

This "food and grass system" design made many players scold them at first. After all, they were originally playing games, preparing to attack the enemy, occupy the enemy's territory, and have a good time. But in the end, they had to take care of their own food and grass first.

, isn’t this a cheat? Especially this grain and grass is really cumbersome. Not only do you have to calculate the share of grain and grass, but you also have to consider how to transport it quickly and safely, but it doesn’t bore the players to death.

However, as players get deeper into the game, they begin to truly discover the importance of "food and grass". With the "food and grass system", those so-called "defeat more with less" and "defeat the majority with fewer" have become a reality. And also because of a "

"Forage system", many tactics can be realized, such as ambush, burning forage, etc. This allows players to discover more fun in the game.

However, because of this, it will take several months for Europe to realize a real "national war", and countries in Asia, America, and Africa may have to wait for a long time. There is no way, the vast territory is so helpless.

"Boss, I think this 'national war' should be changed to 'racial war'!" Minwu-Lee suggested.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. Isn't that right? If we talk about "national war", it is happening now. But is this the national war that players are looking forward to? Obviously not. What players are looking forward to is China fighting Japan, Britain fighting France, and Germany fighting Austria.

a national war, rather than a national war fought among ourselves behind closed doors.

When Lin Feng heard this, he quickly waved his hand.

"This is not possible! This is absolutely not possible!" Lin Feng saw that everyone was confused and quickly explained, "Currently the whole world is committed to combating racism. If we change the name to 'race war', it will definitely be banned by governments of all countries immediately.

This is absolutely unacceptable. 'National war' is 'national war', and we only admit this! Remember this, everyone!"

When everyone heard this, they were all confused. Isn’t it right? If the name is really changed to "race war", then the "Second World" might immediately fall apart. With the comprehensive suppression from the outside world and the resistance of players, the "Second World"

It would be strange if it didn't collapse.

Later, Minwu-Li introduced in detail the current strength comparison of players from various countries in "World War", as well as the comparison of technology and civilization.

"Boss, according to the current situation, there may really be a showdown between cavalry and tanks in the future. Is this really good?" Minwu-Li asked.

"The so-called knowing shame and then being brave. Only in this way can we inspire the blood and courage of players from a backward country, not to mention overwhelming technology is one of the selling points of the game. Otherwise, how can we make money!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

Everyone also nodded. No one wants to be a laggard in technology and be insulted by others, so they must work hard to build a strong country in the game. And their efforts will naturally benefit the "second world".

"Okay, let's introduce the charging model to everyone!" Lin Feng ordered.

Regarding the charging model of "World War", it is an absolute secret of "Second World". Except for Lin Feng, Wu Zhaopu, and a few people from the "Fifth Game Development Department", the rest of the senior management are not clear about it. Of course

, even Lin Feng himself is not too clear about it. Lin Feng has completely left this matter to his "Virtual Currency Fund", and he is not very clear about it.

"Everyone, "World War" will adopt the only virtual currency exchange profit model. In other words, "World War" itself will be completely free, and players can enjoy the game without spending any money. And our only profit comes from

Players’ demand for game currency. Only when players buy game currency because they need it can we make a profit,” Minwu-Li said.

Everyone has an impression of the game currency sales model. This charging model has been mentioned before. However, it was later verified that it has many disadvantages such as easily causing price instability and being hyped. I originally thought that I would give up, but in the end

This very special charging model is still used today, which surprises everyone but also makes sense.

"I don't know much about how to charge. It's too profound. I'd better ask professionals to answer it." Minwu-Li shrugged helplessly. When deciding to use the game currency charging model, Minwu-Li once thought

He tried to figure out how to make a profit and how the currency exchange ratio was calculated. After many calculations, he finally became confused. Therefore, he simply left it to professionals to avoid damaging his brain cells.

The professionals responsible for such a cumbersome game currency charging model are naturally Michel Camdessus, the former president of the International Monetary Fund, and Anne Kruger, the former vice president of the World Bank. Only the two of them can understand it.

Such a complicated thing.

Michel Camdessus and Anne Kruger looked at each other with excitement on their faces. Maybe others didn't feel it yet, but they knew that from the moment "War of the Worlds" launched the game currency charging model, virtual currency began to have
Chapter completed!
