Black smoke rolled, and a train dragging flat containers slowly drove into Shenzhen station, stopped at the designated freight station, waiting for unloading.

On the platform, the loading and unloading driver drove a crane to the rear and found a container painted with the words "Taiyu Technology" on the flatbed truck, lifted it up and placed it on the back of the train that followed.

While they were carrying out this series of processes, dozens of local residents who seemed to be wandering at the railway station confirmed that this was a container belonging to Taiyu Technology. They immediately ran away, running while running, trying to stop others from behind. A group of people rushed to the nearest public telephone at a speed of 100 meters, fighting for each other's phone, and the group of people was as fierce as if they were fighting.

A tall man's clothes were torn to pieces and bleeding from the corners of his mouth. Finally, he relied on his strength to grab the phone first. Then, while using his elbow to block the traction hand behind, he skillfully took out Zhang Yiyuan's RMB, nodded and bowed, and handed it to the salesperson: "Sister, I'll make a long-distance call. This is one dollar, so I don't need to look for it!"

Then he endured the black fist from someone behind, hooked his body, protected the microphone and said to the operator with a rapid speech speed: "Hello, please, I want to call Hong Kong long-distance. The number is 00852-2997616. Yes, I'm sorry... No, it's 2997616. Yes, thank you!"

The operator muttered dissatisfiedly from the microphone, and then heard her trying to call the international line. Then, she heard a clang, as if the operator had put the microphone aside, and then there was the sound of peeling melon seeds, as well as the sound of her laughing and joking with her colleagues.

"Oh, it's all about money to pick up this microphone. I don't care whether it's connected there or not. I'll close the cable when the time comes!" The salesperson who was guarding the phone lazily dealt with a customer, glanced at this side, took out the melon seeds and kowtowed slowly, warning.

Generally speaking, the phone number is still fresh, and you can make even longer-distance calls. As for the number of phone calls that can be made abroad, there are very few. If it weren’t for some state-owned manufacturers’ sales staff at the railway station that needed to contact foreign customers, it would be impossible to open international long-distance services.

Apart from this state-owned store, within a few kilometers, there is no second public telephone that can be made in international long distances.

"Yes, yes!" The tall man was anxious and angry, and did not dare to urge the operator. In the salesperson's eye, he took out a five-yuan bill with heartache again, handed it over reluctantly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sister, you have to wait here. You can take it first, I will make up for it if it is not enough!"

Not long after, he took out another five pieces and handed them out again.

Then another five pieces...

After about fifteen or sixteen minutes of his anxious waiting, the operator's voice came from the other end of the phone: "The line is empty, Xiao Li, you want to transfer to Hong Kong, right? Go to Line 9!"

"I know, it's so troublesome to manually connect!" The operator named Xiao Li complained, and then the tall man finally heard the long beeping sound of the line connecting through the microphone that made him feel excited.

Thank goodness, there was no call there!

He knew that the operator didn't worry about the person who was calling. If she tried to connect and found that the person who answered the phone was busy, she would not patiently wait for the other party to finish the phone and then connect, but would immediately hang up and then give the line to other operators in need.

Only ghosts know when they will be free next time.

Maybe it's right away, maybe it's a few hours, even if the line is busy on a day, it's not surprising. It's both a waste of time and

For Chinese people in this era, making a phone call is even more tiring than fighting!

But even so, it is much more convenient to talk to people over the phone to hundreds of kilometers than to go directly to inform them in person. With the difficulty of leaving the country in this era, if you want to contact overseas users, you can only rely on the phone as the only means.

"Hey, are you tied?" The tall man got what he wanted and waited for the familiar Cantonese voice opposite the microphone. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He quickly said in a trembling voice, "Boss Zhou, I am Afeng from Shenzhen. Didn't you say that once Taiyu Technology's goods arrive at the station, you will notify you immediately? Yes, it's arrived. The whole container was just loaded half an hour ago, and the truck had already set off. You should be able to arrive today! Yes, nothing, this is what I should do... Oh, Boss Zhou, don't hang up, it cost eighteen yuan to make this call..., ah, hahaha, OK, no problem, I'll go here!"

For these few short sentences, he waited here for about twenty minutes.

But compared with other colleagues, he is still lucky.

The tall man put down the microphone with satisfaction, proudly pulled his hair down to his forehead, and sorted out the torn clothes. He glanced at his colleagues who had called again in order to grab the phone, Shi Shiran squeezed out of the crowd and told Boss Li where he would go to the station and hotel where he would get money.

After walking a few steps, I heard a colleague behind me who was winning in the scramble, referring to the operator number in a flattering voice: "Please, please pick me up the long-distance Hong Kong..., Ah, who the hell hit me? I can't kill you, Ah, no, I'm not scolding you, Oh, the phone call just now was called by another person, I'm..., Yes, I know, you work very hard, I can't do anything about it, please, please, please help me answer the phone. This is related to human life. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much... Ah, fuck, who is pulling my ears..."

...

At this time, on the third floor of an industrial building in Kowloon, Hong Kong, in the business office marked with the Hongsheng Electronic Nameplate, a business staff member excitedly pushed open the door and rushed to the manager's room next door, reporting loudly: "Manager Wang, the people we were in Shenzhen just called and said that Taiyu Technology has arrived again and has just loaded the car. It is expected that we will arrive at noon today! This time, we were the first to get the news, and no other manufacturers know it yet!"

Inside the manager, Manager Wang was receiving two British merchants. He pushed the door and broke into the air. When he heard that his face turned from gloomy to clear. His eyes narrowed into a slit. He slapped his thighs and slapped, "Good job, great! Allen, you go to Taiyu to order the goods immediately. Yes, don't call, you go for a trip yourself, yes, buy it first..." He glanced at the two British merchants and gritted his teeth, "I can't bear to let my child go to trap the wolf. Allen, just order a hundred units! New goods are on the market, and I'm afraid they won't sell them if there is less! I'll call all the technicians here, and when the new game is brought back, we will organize the cracks immediately!"

He knew how good and pretty Taiyu Technology's games were.

In the early days, people could not crack it. Many manufacturers just stole game creativity and then found someone to develop games with the same interface and content. However, after they were developed, without exception, they found that the game they developed was much worse than that of Taiyu Technology in terms of size and sensitivity.

They use the same processor, but the quality of pirated games is not a little bit bad, but they are completely behind, just like another game.

In order to install the source program, it has to use a larger storage capacity than Taiyu Technology. Moreover, the actual game feel, control and reaction speed are completely incomparable with the original game, and the difference is extremely obvious. Gamers can feel that it is a crappy counterfeit product as soon as they get started, and they will immediately throw it away. They would rather wait in the authentic game for a long time than play pirated versions.

Therefore, the early Taiyu Technology's arcade games almost swept the global market, and no competitor could find a counterfeit game of the same quality.

Even later, everyone finally found a way to read the source program from the solidified memory. After reading it, the programmers stared at each other and could not recognize it at all. Even the American Atari Company, known as the global gaming giant, hired the program masters to read the program so hard that they miserable.

So much so that all game manufacturers around the world unanimously agree that the person who writes programs for Taiyu Technology behind the scenes is the top expert, and there is no one in the world who can compare with it. Moreover, this is definitely not a job that one person can complete, and there must be a huge team to provide technical support.

The first "Space Invader" game, a small program of just a few kilobytes, global manufacturers, game enthusiasts, programmers, and technical experts took three and a half years to completely crack and restore it. It is really because this program is written too concise and perfect. Basically, it is to directly operate the lowest-level code on the processor. It takes countless time to understand these codes, and then restore the compressed and streamlined programs to program lines that everyone can understand, which takes more time.

So as soon as this cracked version was released, it caused a sensation in computer enthusiasts, scientific research and technicians, and university professors all included it in textbooks as a teaching example.

With this precedent, except for a few boring people in the world who seem to be painful, almost no one in the world will try to crack Taiyu Technology's game source code to crack other source codes. It is nothing more money. It takes a little longer, and hire more technicians, and the cost is slightly higher. However, cracking Taiyu Technology's game code... This is a fatal thing!

Some people in the computer industry even gave this mysterious programming team a nickname called "Team of God".

Only God, such a non-human existence, can start from the bottom of control and completely use assembly language to design game programming from beginning to end!

There are also programmers who fail to crack repeatedly and even fail to understand the source code, but they simply call it a "neurotic team" to show that it is not that they cannot understand it, but that this team is really in pain to a certain level, which makes normal people unable to understand their thinking.

Not a psychopath, who would be so bored that he used assembly to write code?

Therefore, in the later stage, all game manufacturers and pirated players gave up the idea of ​​copying and after extracting the game source code, they no longer tried to crack it. Instead, they completely adopted the internal structure, components, and integrated circuits of the game console that were exactly the same as Taiyu Technology, to make a 100% irrefutable pirated arcade machine that was caught, and then burned the extracted source code into their own memory and installed for sale.

Some people have tried to use other better integrated circuits, processors, and audio and video circuits as replacements, but the effect is not as good as the original one.

If the source code cannot be cracked, the effect of using other components will become worse. You can at most 70% of the original version. Besides 100% pirated version, what other methods are there?

In the end, people have relied on domestic favoritism and openly stole source code and launched a full-scale pirated arcade machine that is just like Taiyu Technology.

Just this, there are still many game fans who only recognize Taiyu Technology and not other brands.

Therefore, Taiyu Technology, which had already experienced a sharp decline in market share, has once again increased rapidly, from the lowest to 39% market share, quickly rebounded to 50%, and then floated up and down this level.

In addition to being frustrated in the industry, the industry gradually recognized Taiyu Technology's leading position.

Another consequence of this is that all manufacturers start to buy the latest arcade machines as soon as possible, and then immediately organize source code extraction.

Global agents and sellers also know that if they want to make the most profit, they must hurry up and take the first prize before pirated merchants withdraw from pirated arcades. Basically, when the new game is launched, it will be immediately snatched away by agents from all over the country.

Therefore, all pirated manufacturers also have to grab time.

If they couldn't get in, they would find an agent and spend money to hire local Shenzhen people to help stare at the train station. As soon as the container arrived, they would immediately notify the manufacturer, and then they immediately rushed to Taiyu Technology as quickly as possible and pretended to be an agent to go to order the goods.

The spy they invited today was the first to call to inform and gained the opportunity for them. Manager Wang seemed to have seen a lot of money flying in front of his eyes, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with smiles, and immediately ordered the salesperson to go and order the goods quickly.

"Received!" The salesperson jumped so happily, and ran away and ran toward the outside of the company.

"What?" The two British merchants could not understand Cantonese or Chinese. Seeing them talking, the salesperson ran out in a hurry and asked.

Manager Wang spoke fluently in English and immediately explained the situation to the other party, then smiled and said, "Mr. Turner, Mr. Rodney, you are so lucky. As soon as you come, you will encounter a new game on the market. My salesperson has already gone to order the order. You can only wait for another week to buy the latest arcade model!"
Chapter completed!
