What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
No one would believe it if I told them now, but in the future, it would allow Zhao Ye to show off and impress others.
Collecting domain names was just a casual move by Zhao Ye; now he had to get down to business—developing PC games!
In addition to the originally planned Counter-Strike, Diablo, Warcraft and StarCraft, he also added Red Alert, Chinese Paladin, Resident Evil and The Great Voyages of Zheng He.
To save time, Zhao Ye wrote game design plans at home at night.
However, games are getting bigger and bigger, which makes development more difficult and the development cycle longer.
In the past, it could take one or two months to develop a game, but now it takes at least half a year.
As a global gaming giant, Wujiang Games is facing a talent shortage again, as it has to develop both PC games and other titles such as "Golden Axe."
Currently, the PC game development department can only prioritize developing three PC games: Counter-Strike, Diablo, and Red Alert, mainly to keep up with Hasee's release schedule.
In Shenzhen, the construction of Wujiang's PC manufacturing plant is progressing rapidly and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Equipment will be in place by early next year, and workers will be able to begin production. Wujiang's PC manufacturing plant is essentially an assembly plant, so the requirements for workers are not high.
On December 12th, Zhao Ye announced the "Tenglong Internet Cafe Plan" within the company.
"The Shenzhen Wujiang PC manufacturing plant has a production capacity of over 12 million units per year. We have an advantage in PC gaming, so we should make full use of this advantage to establish internet cafes all over the world!"
Zhao Ye paused slightly and said, "Of course, the network in this internet cafe is currently a local area network, but it will be connected to the internet in the future."
"Internet cafes are similar to video arcades, and they have great potential in developing countries. People may not be able to afford computers, but they have the money to go to internet cafes. With an hourly rate of three yuan, I believe the business of internet cafes will definitely be booming!"
Three yuan is actually very cheap. In Zhao Ye's previous life, the first time he went to an internet cafe, it cost 10 yuan an hour.
Computer rooms without internet access are cheaper, costing 5 yuan per hour.
The reason Zhao Ye priced it at 3 yuan per hour was mainly because the computers were provided by his own company, and the cost was not high. Therefore, even if the price was lower, he could still make a profit.
The primary goal of the "Tenglong Internet Cafe Plan" is to promote Hasee computers and get people used to using them; making money is the secondary goal.
Zhao Ye continued, "We still have a few months. We need to start setting up the Tenglong Internet Cafe chain stores as soon as possible. I require that before Shenzhou Computer goes public, we have at least 2,000 chain stores in China and at least 3,000 chain stores overseas!"
"Yes!!!" Everyone nodded in response.
