"What about the data from the day before yesterday? The data from the day before yesterday can also be used."

Hearing Zhao Changan say that he didn't know and didn't care about Legend's data yesterday, Ye Zi continued to ask: "Don't say you didn't."

"I really haven't."

Zhao Changan patiently explained to Ye Zi: "The Cretaceous Legend Day data is sent to the president's office of Tang Shuang, who is responsible for daily management. I only send reports and solicitation emails for company matters. If you want to know, let Xia Wenzhuo

Can I just send you one copy?"

Because "Millennium" and "Legend" have a great similarity and inheritance relationship in the game settings and graphics, Zhao Changan knew that Ye Zi wanted to estimate the situation of Millennium through the market data of Legend.

It means to linearly and coherently mark data changes such as the number of players, distribution, usage time, etc., to look for patterns and anomalies, so as to draw lessons from and avoid pitfalls for the next step of Millennium's operations.

"You put it lightly. Xia Wenzhuo has clearly told me that it is the company's core secret and will not be leaked."

When Ye Zi said this, she was so angry that cold air came out of her straight little nose: "The joint venture is not a company, and she is not Zhuo Zi's shareholder!"

Zhao Changan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Xia Wenzhuo meant.

Before this, the Cretaceous side had always let go of Zhuo Zi's data because Legend is a 2D game and Miracle is a 3D game. Although there is a certain competitive relationship between the two, Miracle will not be released until next year.

It is a public beta, and users also have certain distinctions.

In terms of graphics card and memory requirements, the basic requirements of 3D Miracle Mu are several times that of 2D Legend. Similarly, the requirements for network speed are also higher than those of Legend.

This also means that when running Miracle Mu on most mainstream Internet cafe computers in China, it will be very difficult and cause serious lags.

It is best to wait until the configuration catches up before operating this game.

Even until now, Zhao Changan has not expressed clear support for Ye Zi and Li Xiuying’s proposal to conduct a global public beta test of Miracle Mu on January 1, 2001.

It is because he wants to wait until the second half of the year to see the data and total sales volume of domestic mainstream computer configurations, as well as the number of new Internet cafes opened and the iterative upgrade and replacement ratio of main components of old Internet cafes.

If the computer configuration is too poor, there will definitely be no problem running Legend. However, running Miracle Mu will obviously be a bit difficult and will affect the player's gaming experience.

From the end of the year before last to the first half of last year, the standard hard drives of computers were generally 3.2G, 6.4G, memory 16m, 32m, more high-end ones were 64m, graphics cards 8m, and a small number of 16m.

From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, the standard hard drives of computers were basically upgraded to 6.4G, 8.4G and 10G, the memory was 32M, 64M, the higher-end ones were 128M, and the graphics cards were 16M, 32M.

Now, some authoritative computer newspapers and magazines have predicted standard computer configurations for 2001, which predict hard drives at 20G, 30G, 40G, memory 128m, 256m, and graphics cards 32m, 64m.

Of course, with this configuration, coupled with the Pentium 4 and 17-inch display, the price can also make people excited.

The year before last, the cost recovery time of opening an Internet cafe only took about half a year, but now, this cycle has lengthened to more than a year.

Moreover, the replacement iteration rate of the main components of the computer, such as chips, hard drives, memory, and graphics cards, is too fast.

This forces Internet cafe owners to upgrade the performance of their machines at least once a year, otherwise they will not be able to operate in the new Internet cafes that are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

After all, the current domestic computer market has only accelerated for two years. Not to mention 256M memory, 64M graphics card, even 128M, 32M, the price is definitely not low. When running legendary games is enough, Zhao Changan is very suspicious of those old Internet cafes.

Many bosses will be so active in upgrading computer performance, and most of them will delay it for as long as a month.

In Zhao Changan's opinion, more than 60% of the old Internet cafes have achieved an increase in running speed and can barely adapt to the minimum memory and graphics card requirements of Miracle Mu. This is the right time for Miracle Mu to launch a large-scale public beta test in China and then officially launch it for a fee.

There is an indisputable fact that the economies of Seoul, Japan, Europe and the United States are indeed stronger than China. Their per capita salary can easily buy the latest computer in one month.

However, in the country, it even requires more than half a year's salary of a worker.

So by January next year, computers in Seoul can easily and smoothly run Miraclemu, a new 3D engine game. However, it is obviously still unknown how many of the more than 40,000 old Internet cafes in China have completed component upgrades.

In fact, Zhao Changan's concept is already known to the company's upper management, including Ye Zi, who is sitting opposite him.

However, Ye Zi believes that by January next year, most Internet cafes in the country will definitely be able to easily run Miracle Mu, a 3D engine game. Zhao Changan is obviously unfounded.

Because unless those old Internet cafes want to go bankrupt, or they are small Internet cafes in economically backward and marginalized areas, the situation will force them to upgrade their computer performance to avoid falling behind and being eliminated.

In fact, this is also what Tang Shuang, Wen Ye, Su Xiangchen, and Zhong Lianwei thought.

——

Therefore, Cretaceous and Zhuo Zi have been in a relatively good honeymoon period before, and Zhao Changan did not think about taking back the server group, local promotion team, and this series of powers that were delegated to Cretaceous.

That is to say, after Ye Zi proposed to introduce it for thousands of years, Zhao Changan discovered this model, and it was very likely that problems would arise.

After all, the similarity between Millennium and Legend is too high, and it is generally believed that Millennium is an evolved version of Legend and is superior to Legend.

Although it is true that Xia Wenzhuo is a shareholder of Zhuo Zi, she is also the person in charge of the Cretaceous. Her butt determines her head, so what else can she say about this matter?

Moreover, the affiliation between the server group and local promoters belongs to the Cretaceous system. Although local promoters will receive legendary commissions when they recommend and run the Millennium Market, their job extensions and promotions are all in the Cretaceous system.

, how is it possible that there is no difference at all?

This doesn't matter to Zhao Changan, after all, the meat rots in the pot, but it is definitely unfair to the people inside Zhuo Zi and Actoz.

Once Millennium performs poorly, it is easy for them to misunderstand and think that the Cretaceous is suppressing Millennium and engaging in unfair competition.

This is obviously not a scene Zhao Changan wants to see.

In Zhao Changan's previous life, less than a year after the legendary server was launched, a serious source code incident occurred.

It was originally posted on an Italian website with Western text. It is said that the source code of Actoz's Western European server was stolen.

After the first legendary private server appeared in China, dozens more private servers appeared in less than three days.

In these three days, the number of people online on the legendary private server exceeded that of the official server, with three times, five times, ten times, a hundred times, and a thousand times the experience, and all kinds of top-notch equipment.

Huge benefits can make people take risks, go crazy and use any means necessary.

Then in less than a year, the number of domestic legendary private servers exceeded 500, and a large number of domestic Internet cafes began to make their own private servers. As long as they paid money, they would be given top-notch equipment, and they could even open a special area for a krypton gold boss.

Come and wreak havoc on other free players.

This serious source code leak triggered huge conflicts and protracted lawsuits between Shanda, Actoz, and Wemade, and also ended the golden period of this game.
