Lei Jun needs some time to think about it, and Zhou Shuo doesn't plan to urge him too quickly. Isn't it a business to get on the pole?

On the one hand, he arranged for someone to take him around the embroidery city and relax. However, on the other hand, Zhou Shuo was also interested in the project he brought.

Lei Jun is still working on developing China's first computer game, just like in history. Although the Zhongguancun Apocalypse he used in his previous life is still technically immature, its playability and market response are very good.

Xishanju Game Studio also started with this game and embarked on the road of their Chinese game production group.

China's electronic game industry is relatively closed, and social prejudice has had a great impact on the game industry for a long time. Universities do not have game majors, so naturally there are no professional training talents. All industry insiders are products of self-study or master-apprentice teaching.

Under this system, the result is naturally low mobility, lack of talents, weak competitiveness under technology, and strong closedness in small circles...

Almost all game practitioners saw the problems of the entire industry at that time, but were unable to change it. It was not until the era of online games that Chinese people knew that they could make money by 100 million yuan when they made games! The huge demand erased social prejudice, accelerated the inflow of talents, and gradually prospered the industry.

But before that, the Chinese game industry still had a studio that was working hard, that is Xishanju.

Due to the specific situation in mainland China, that is, piracy, censorship and channel issues, before the emergence of online games, Chinese computer games can be said to be the one that kills the other.

Only Xishanju, with its spirit of striving for excellence, barely maintained it with Baoshan Company.

Although Qiu Jun was taken by Zhou Shuo in this life, there was no more Baoshan Company. However, Lei Jun still brought up a game studio, and the name was still called Xishanju.

Whether this Xishan residence or another Xishan residence is a matter of opinion.

The game they are developing now is no longer a simulated business game like Zhongguancun Apocalypse, but has become a casual turn strategy game similar to Monopoly.

This is not surprising. Although there are many bugs in history and fewer game functions, it is still extremely difficult under the technical conditions at that time.

Lei Jun, who no longer supports Baoshan Company, probably put the first game on the turn strategy game with relatively low technical requirements.

Because he changed the subject, Zhou Shuo is now unable to figure out whether this is still like the Zhongguancun Apocalypse in history, and he will definitely make money. If the game can occasionally reach the level of a Monopoly, it will be a good response. Before 2000, the most installed single-player large-scale games in Chinese computers were probably the Monopoly.

Some people may not like Red Alerts or Sand Dunes, and some people may not like heartbeat memories. But very few people have never played Monopoly, and the coverage of casual games is still very large.

If Lei Jun agreed to take on the venture capital job, then this project would definitely have nothing to do with him. If he didn't take on the job, he wouldn't be ashamed to invest with Zhou Shuola again. However, this game is not his own hard work after all, and Zhang Yida, who came with him this time, is also a very capable person.

After handing over the specific work of investing to Zhang Yida, Lei Jun then let go of the burden in his heart and went to enjoy the mountains and rivers happily.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Zhang Yida!" Zhang Yida's mouth was almost at the back of his head. There were not many opportunities for programmers like him to see a big boss like Zhou Shuo.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how well they sell "Virtual Zhongguancun" now, it is definitely impossible to attract the attention of the senior management of Lifang Group. No matter how small the Chinese gaming software industry is, the profit of one hundred million is so high, but such a sum of money is not as much as the one-month keyboard earned by Fanhan Electronics Factory.

This is the fundamental reason why the domestic game industry continues to sluggish. No matter how well you do your game, you can't stand the shamelessness of pirated merchants. No matter how ambitious the team is, they will eventually be fat and thin. Pirates will never care about the death of Chinese domestic games. Anyway, they can continue to pirate foreign software.

European, American and Japanese game companies can survive by relying on their own markets, and at most they don’t do the Chinese market. Domestic players don’t care. Anyway, there are “conscience” pirated merchants to do Chineseization. Even if there is no Chinese version, there is still a traditional version. Even if there is no traditional version, I will just learn English by myself...

It just caused trouble for China's gaming industry and the Battle of the Five Slags Hall of Hell, who was called a dog.

Zhou Shuo's heart was like an electric shock, passing China's future game industry in his heart, and fighting a cold war. If there was no force that could promote a comprehensive anti-pirated version, he would not intend to rashly break into the field of stand-alone games.

"Please sit down quickly." Zhou Shuo did not despise the other party because of his obscurity, but instead asked him to sit down and have tea.

Zhang Yida was flattered by this - if you come to someone for hundreds of thousands of yuan in a second, how much does this cup of tea cost? Most ordinary people will probably have this idea unconsciously when they are with big bosses, but they don’t know that the cost of this cup of tea is actually just a cup of tea.

You should know that even if the big bosses don’t pour you tea, they will make a profit if they lie down and stare blankly. But this does not affect Zhang Yida’s admiration. In 1995, there will be no other person who can have a net worth of 3 billion US dollars.

"You are Zhang Yida, right?" Zhou Shuo sounded a little familiar with the name and asked, "Have I heard of you somewhere? Why do you feel a little familiar?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhou has heard of me too?" Zhang Yida's eyes lit up and he nodded sharply and said, "I turned out to be working in Japan's Anrong Dagu Game Company..."

"The admiral's decision!" Zhou Shuo suddenly realized, slapped his thighs excitedly and said, "Are you the Four Gentlemen of Anrong who left Anrong last year?"

The careless Zhang Yida scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "What kind of gentlemen are all Chinese. You can't watch the little Japanese bury our country, right?"

It is said that the "Four Gentlemen of Darkness" incident has a great impact, and it can even be said to have caused a great shock in China at that time. Heavyweight media including CCTV and Renji intervened.

The beginning of the matter is like this: Japan's Anrong Company developed a strategy game called "Admiral's Decision", which "chiluo" nakedly promoted Japanese militarism and distorted the history of Japan's invasion of China. After four Chinese employees of the Dagu Anrong Company discovered this, they jointly issued a strong protest, and the country immediately investigated and dealt with the game.

But even though Anrong made some treatments about this incident, the Japanese version of the game was released as scheduled. China's game industry could not be used as a tool to resist ideological invasion. At least twenty years later in the game field, players have long been accustomed to vilifying China. Anrong Company suffered a loss in the admiral's decision game, but the subsequent version continued to summon the criminals of World War II.

Since the Chinese market cannot bring benefits to others, it is just an apology for political reasons. However, Anrong will never really take you seriously.

The two of them sighed casually, and then Zhou Shuo continued to talk about the topic: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would go to Manager Lei's studio later. It's a pity that China's gaming industry is too small."

He paused when he said this, sighed for a moment and then said, "But I have already learned about your current project in detail. I am frankly speaking, the prospects of this game may be in danger."

When Zhang Yida heard Zhou Shuo say this, he hurriedly defended: "Mr. Zhou, our game is still very promising. First of all, it is the first domestic computer game in China, so we can focus on promoting this. Secondly..."

Zhou Shuo interrupted him, waved his hand and said, "What I said is dangerous is not that you can't make money, but that the overall environment of stand-alone games in the Chinese market is really too bad. To put it bluntly, no matter how good you do, you will just survive."

Zhang Yida was silent for a long time and nodded helplessly. Zhou Shuo's grades were there. If he had no say in the domestic electronic information industry, then there would not be many people in China who still had the say.

"But we in China cannot have a gaming industry, right?" Zhang Yida put away his usual hippie smile and said bitterly: "As the saying goes, if we don't occupy the propaganda position, the enemy will occupy it. Can't we watch foreigners' games fill the Chinese market, but Chinese people can't play the games of our own national culture?"

Zhou Shuo shook his head and wanted to say something: Tusen is broken, is it enough for the world to have ideals?

Before he could speak, he suddenly remembered that this was the self he used to be? He thought that with a passion, he could accomplish an impossible feat. It is not surprising that a person had not sat in a higher position.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "What Mr. Zhang said makes sense, but we are now in a socialist market economy. When doing business, we must first comply with the market laws. If the Battle of the Five Scrap King Hall can subsidize the game industry, we can stick to our ideals. But if we can't even afford to eat, people can't dream. If China's game industry wants to develop, we must first find a path to commercial success."

"This..." Zhang Yida murmured: "I always have to try it, right? If you admit that you fail without trying it, you always feel unwilling to accept it."
