Chapter 215: There is always someone who owes you something!
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has undoubtedly become a phenomenal game of the era, at least no other game can compare to it at the beginning.
The number of simultaneous online users on the first day of the server opening broke the record. Although there was a certain decline afterwards, coupled with the impact of holidays, the number of simultaneous online users still remained at a maximum of 3 million per day, and the number of daily logging-in users reached 14 million.
The reason why the number of people online at the same time is so high is because of the existence of the God of War List.
"Honey, I encountered a cheat in the game today."
Any game cannot avoid cheating, but for some games, cheating is not very effective.
Without waiting for Li Yang to say anything, Bai Qing took the blame and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought up the God of War List. If there wasn't the God of War List, those cheats wouldn't have appeared so quickly."
Li Yang hurriedly comforted him, "How can a game avoid cheating? I have already instructed my employees to develop a patrol system. Once reported, the relevant game information will be sliced and preserved, and we can hire some people to be patrollers. How can a game avoid cheating? When we were in the public beta, some people had already started looking for loopholes in us."
Cheats that directly modify game data are easy to detect.
The serious cheats that are hard to find are basically made by exploiting loopholes in the game itself.
For example, some plug-ins will prevent the built-in instructions in the game client from uploading slices of game videos. In this way, you will never be able to find evidence of the other party cheating.
Without evidence, it is impossible to determine that someone is using cheats. As long as they say that they don't know what happened, they can be exempted from responsibility.
We can't just kill everyone who has similar problems, right?
The gaming industry is not suitable for a policy of rather killing ten thousand people than letting one go.
Those who cheat will be banned, and at most they will say a few words to defend themselves.
If I get banned without cheating, I will never play again.
Besides, they can still sue, and once they win the lawsuit, it will cause great damage to the company's reputation.
"By the way, we will also have a sensitive system to warn and kick off accounts that cannot be proven to be cheating."
Li Yang must have thought about anti-cheating measures. One of the reasons why this game is unpopular is cheating.
Therefore, from the very beginning, cheats have been severely cracked down and cannot affect normal players.
Bai Qing immediately said, "Honey, kicking them off the line is not a good idea. If we can't get evidence, it means that they may not be cheating. I think it's better to mark those accounts separately, match accounts with the same mark together, and let the group of people suspected of cheating play alone."
"What else?"
"We can judge whether they really use cheats based on their performance in the suspected cheating group, and at the same time, we can let cheaters compete with each other. If they can't win for a long time, they will definitely not be conservative and will use whatever functions the cheats have, thus revealing their flaws. For people who use cheats, it is impossible to endure being abused for a long time. Those who can endure being abused for dozens of games without revealing their flaws are most likely normal players."
Li Yang asked back, "You know so much about the psychology of cheating players, have you ever used it?"
"Aaaaahhh, I didn't!"
"Hahaha, wife, do you want to come to Aurora Studios as a consultant? I think you can do a better job than me."
Li Yang really thinks Bai Qing has this ability, and some of her ideas are based on the player's perspective.
It is not good to kick someone out of the game for suspected cheating. What if the other party is a strong anchor? What if the player reports it maliciously? Being kicked off the line can only prove that the game company is not good. Over time, people will no longer believe in the credibility of the game company.
When a game is mistakenly banned, all cheating players have an excuse to make excuses.
What should I do if I was mistakenly banned for ten years for cheating?
"Of course, but according to the current trend, there will most likely be a professional competition next year. You can come to the Koala team and lead our players to win a world championship."
Bai Qing's words were actually equivalent to a rejection.
Li Yang is the boss of Aurora Studio, how could he possibly participate in the competition himself?
Regardless of whether the results are good or bad, it will not be of much benefit to Li Yang.
But Li Yang quickly replied: "If you agree, then I will go."
"Ah? I was just joking..."
"No, you have to admit it! You transfer the Koala Team to Wu Tianqi, and I will transfer the Aurora Studio to you. Next year, I will debut as a professional PUBG player!"
"???, do you know how valuable Aurora Studio is? This game has become a phenomenon."
Aurora Studios is now worth at least over a billion.
Li Yang said, "Actually, it was originally your money. Your aunt Chen Peipei left you a sum of money before she went abroad, and I was the one who managed it. Investing in Aurora Studios was part of it, and I'm just returning the money to its original owner."
Bai Qing can manage the game project well, so he definitely doesn't mind giving up control.
It's enough for him to control the money; it doesn't have to be in his name.
Anyway, Aurora Studio is just a small project, and he only has three serious projects to work on.
Jiying Automobile, Lushui Group, and a certain fish live broadcast.
Bai Qing hesitated for a while and asked, "Honey, this isn't the breakup fee you gave me, is it?"
Even though Li Yang's excuse was good, Bai Qing didn't believe that Chen Peipei could leave her so much money.
Aurora Studio has invested at least 300 to 400 million yuan now, and Chen Peipei may not have that much money.
If it is a breakup fee, then she wants it, finds a chance to cash it out, and leaves it to the child.
"What are you thinking about? Breakup fee? Am I mentally ill to break up with you? Letting someone else marry my wife and beat my children after the breakup? Am I that kind of sick person?"
"I... won't get married in the future." Bai Qing was willing to promise Li Yang that she would not let Li Yang encounter such an embarrassing situation.
"Whether we get married or not, you are my wife! If you dare to break up, I won't give you the money your aunt left for you. I will keep it as compensation for my mental damages!"
"Okay, okay, give them all to my husband. I don't want them."
Li Yang asked, "It's more than Jiang Banxia's money, you don't want it?"
"ah……"
Bai Qing's brain was a little out of order. What she cared about was not the money, but that she had more than Jiang Banxia.
Then does she not need to be so humble? What Jiang Banxia can give to Li Yang, she can also give!
"So, do you want to make a bet with me? It's just that you will be fine after giving birth to the baby next year." Li Yang asked again.
"Yeah, good!"
…
Li Yang received the news with a certain delay. Bai Jingxuan rarely contacted him now, so it was Xiangnu who informed him.
The Cen family disappeared very quietly. The house had been sold to repay previous debts, and there was a high probability that they would not be chased for the subsequent debts.
This is the best way. Not asking for money means that the Cen family has no chance to come back, and it means that the Cen family’s identity is not recognized.
As for the rest, Li Yang had already anticipated it. Bai Jingxuan had been tricked anyway, so it didn't matter to him.
May 6th, Aurora Studios headquarters.
Li Yang and Huang Jing met with the CEO of Colorful Group.
The two sides had a very pleasant chat, mainly deciding on a hardware project.
The iteration of games will definitely be accompanied by hardware iteration.
Nvidia is the company that has benefited the most from this wave of dividends.
In fact, there are several companies in China whose products are good. Colorful in Shancheng is one of them. They already have the foundation and strength, but what they lack is the market.
Even if Li Yang does not take action, the domestic market will become bigger and bigger in a few years, and they can still make very strong products.
The reason why China's high-tech development is so rapid is all thanks to the market.
A market that is large enough and has strong enough consumption will naturally give birth to enough high-tech companies.
Especially when it comes to verifying new technologies, there is no better market in the world than the domestic one.
This is also the reason why many technologies were able to overtake others a few years ago. There are not many so-called industrial pearls left.
As for the choking neck? Isn't it because you wear your sweater backwards?
Although the industrial surveys that have appeared on the Internet in recent years are basically made-up jokes, it is a fact that China's industrial strength is far ahead of the world. The proportion of high-tech industries has increased from 6% ten years ago to 24% now, and even 39% in the future. Almost all industries have the strength to compete globally.
This time, Aurora Studios and Colorful are collaborating to launch a new graphics card to meet the needs of picture rendering for the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and ensure clarity and smoothness.
It's a kind of customization.
This is also an old tradition of Colorful, cooperating with game manufacturers and inviting professional teams to be spokespersons.
Li Yang confiscated their money and said he would wait until the product came out before making any further decisions.
The other party is also happy to accept this situation. After all, when cooperating with others, you have to pay money right from the start, which puts a lot of financial pressure on you.
After the other party left, Li Yang chatted with Huang Jing: "Senior, you should keep an eye on this matter. If the subsequent cooperation is not good, you can change people. They are not the only one in China."
"Okay! There is one more thing. A South Korean game company called Bluehole sent us a lawyer's letter a few days ago, saying that our game mechanics partially overlap with theirs and that we plagiarized them."
"Then let them sue."
There is definitely some overlap, even though Li Yang has made some modifications, and Bluehole has not yet finalized it, so the overall overlap should be around 30%.
This is a very safe range. After all, there are too many games in the world with overlapping gameplay and settings.
Theoretically, they would not be able to win the lawsuit as there is no direct evidence.
These game mechanisms have already appeared a long time ago, and there are games with similar mechanisms on the market.
Plagiarism? It's not their turn to sue.
Li Yang is still confident about this.
On May 7, a certain fish platform officially lost the authorization to live broadcast LOL. There was no anchor on the entire platform broadcasting the game LOL, resulting in the loss of many users.
However, compared with the recent surge in traffic, the loss does not seem obvious.
The rise of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has caused Penguin Games to lose a serious amount of market share, especially for the two games League of Legends and CF.
Li Yang, a former LOL professional player, has become the spokesperson for other games.
This also led to the fact that even though Li Yang had achieved such great results, he did not have any seat in the Hall of Fame where LOL was founded.
He had been invited to some gaming events before, but in the past two months, he hasn’t received any invitations at all.
CF is also an FPS game, so naturally there is attraction between the two.
Although everyone prefers the TPP mode of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which is the so-called third person mode.
But it doesn’t matter, because an app called Live Diary was born that day.
The live broadcast slices of all the network anchors, accompanied by commentary, form short videos of five to ten minutes, which are put on the platform for viewing.
Li Yang is trying to attract those users who watch the live broadcast, who are also the first batch of users.
Such users have many attributes.
Stay-at-home, LSP, young, active...
Both men and women possess these attributes.
In the Live Diary app, the content is nominally uploaded by the players themselves, but in reality it is a certain fish that spends money to support the team.
As for moving things, isn't that a routine operation?
When any software is first released, it is always accompanied by a large amount of infringement.
There is no fun without infringement.
For example, on Bilibili now, any film or TV series can be watched on it, and the Internet copyright of film and TV series is not yet perfect, so... they can obtain them at zero cost.
In a few years, when the copyright is perfected, they will remove a bunch of movies and TV series.
The same is true for Douyin, which was launched at the end of the year. It just directly copied TV series and movies, and it will not crack down on related infringements until the end of 2019.
Li Yang paid for the live broadcast diary and borrowed some resources from a certain fish platform in the early stage. In the end, he paid 130 million yuan and Xiangnu paid 30 million yuan.
Li Yang holds 75% of the shares and Xiangnu holds 25% of the shares, and they have become independent.
Xiangnu still serves as the chairman of Live Diary.
Li Yang started his own mortgage journey.
There are two types of mortgages. If it is used for company operations, then something worth 10 million can basically be mortgaged for 6 million or even 10 million.
If it is mortgaged into a private account and transferred to another place, it would be quite good if 10 million can be mortgaged into 4 million.
That's why Liu Zhengxiong needed to use connections and tricks when he mortgaged his shares to get 1 billion yuan.
This trick obviously wouldn't work on Li Yang. No one would let him go, so he could only do his job impartially.
On May 15, he signed a commission agreement with Wanliu Capital on behalf of Convolution Company and became the first LP of Wanliu Capital.
The entrusted funds are 3 billion and the entrusted period is one year.
Of the 3 billion, 2 billion was obtained by mortgaging his shares in Jiying Automobile and Aurora Studios, and only 1 billion was his own capital.
Wanliu Capital is also expanding its recruitment team. After all, new fund products will be issued soon and the existing staff is not enough.
Everything Li Yang does is going very smoothly now. The mortgage process is very simple and faster than he imagined.
At night, he prepared fruit for Jiang Banxia in the study while Jiang Banxia was working.
Li Yang took a look and found that Wanliu Capital had mortgaged 4 billion yuan, so he said, "Master Jiang, you and I are now completely on the same boat. Such a big mortgage of 4 billion yuan was approved for you in just seven working days."
"Yeah, it's a blessing in disguise. I think this is pretty good."
Jiang Banxia's world is mostly occupied by Li Yang, so she doesn't care much about the opinions of the outside world.
"Hahaha...it's better if they stay like this and don't talk to me about feelings. I hate talking about feelings the most."
If it were just that, Li Yang would be so happy.
Even if the live broadcast diary infringes on his rights and he loses the lawsuit, it doesn’t matter, he is willing to pay compensation.
Jiang Banxia: "Yes, we don't rely on others to live."
Wanliu Capital now has a lot of money.
The tens of billions of bonds issued previously have already been raised in the market, and after deducting costs, more than 9.7 billion has been raised.
Including the mortgages made by Li Yang and Jiang Banxia in the past half month, nearly 17 billion yuan has been raised.
With such a large amount of money being injected into it, Wanliu Capital is naturally under very strict monitoring, and there are many people keeping an eye on them.
"Then Master Jiang, do you have any plans to go abroad? After this matter is completed, will we go abroad?"
After Li Yang asked this question, Jiang Banxia immediately turned around and said seriously, "Master Li, do you really think so?"
Li Yang said: "I'm asking you."
Jiang Banxia pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't really want to go out, of course...if Master Li insists on leaving, then I'll go with you."
Li Yang nodded. Jiang Banxia had expressed himself very clearly by saying this.
If Jiang Banxia had any idea at all, she would not have said the first half of the sentence at all. The second half would have been enough.
Even if she doesn't like to eat something, as long as Li Yang wants to eat it, she will accompany him without hesitation.
She doesn't like going out, but as long as Li Yang wants to, she will immediately convince herself.
This was the only thing she expressed her hesitation about.
Li Yang continued, "Then I will accompany you. If I am wronged in the future, you must comfort me. I stayed here for you."
"OK."
…
Li Yang actually had no plan to leave. After all, it would be the same wherever he went, and he might end up dying in a more miserable way.
In China, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, there will be no problem. The only problem is that he will make some mistakes in decision-making and be seriously injured after being attacked by others.
The reason why he told Jiang Banxia all this was to give him a heads-up in advance so that Jiang Banxia would stand by him and support him in the future.
It’s not necessary now because Jiang Banxia is not strong enough.
But what about a dozen years later? His foresight will gradually disappear, and then Jiang Banxia will be his backer.
He was still very satisfied with the disappearance of the Cen family this time, which showed that this place was indeed a beacon of civilization.
It is normal to have conflicts and he can accept all challenges!
Of course, you also have to enjoy the fruits of your labor!
As long as you don't target him with malice, he won't get angry.
"Master Li, when will you have your holiday?"
"The last exam is on June 28th."
"Okay, okay... I'll ask my mom to go over and decorate our new house. After you finish your exams, we'll go back?"
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"Take a leave! Take a leave until July 3rd, and come back on the morning of the 4th. Anyway, there is nothing to do on the 4th, just the entry funds."
Wanliu Capital will officially launch its new product on July 3rd. July 4th will be the first day, and funds will be gradually injected into the market and absorbed from the market.
There is actually nothing to do during the week from July 4th to July 8th.
"Master Jiang, are you risking everything?"
"Hhhh, before doing anything big, you must definitely lock in a partner."
…
On May 18, Li Yang received a call from Huang Jing.
"Boss, Bluehole has filed a lawsuit against us for copyright infringement, and the court has accepted it."
"oh."
Li Yang knew that he would definitely not lose out by handling this important matter!
Because there’s always someone who owes someone something!
