Chapter 317 Are you sick?
After the hot pot was over, Lin You closed the Lingxi page.
After thinking about it for a while, it seems that there is nothing to do in the company.
As a matter of course, he wanted to touch fish a little bit, so he went to play with Xiaomeng.
But after thinking about it, I feel that I have not done anything since I just moved my mouth since I went to work.
Just touching fish directly, my conscience seemed to hurt a little, so I had to go to Night City, which is under development.
Recently, he found that he only wanted to fish when he went to work, but he was full of energy after work, and the symptoms became more and more serious...

NetDragon headquarters, a person who has been fishing for a long time, finally couldn't bear it any longer.
In the public relations office, Zhang Heying looked at the news that "the cumulative sales volume of Mirage is 95 million units", and finally revised the proposal, then moved the mouse and clicked [Print].
Watching the printer spitting out papers one by one, he thought again about the words he would use to persuade the boss later.
In the past two months, his feelings have also been amazing.
At one time, he thought he had to follow Hu Rong's footsteps, but he was kicked out of Wanglong, packed up and left.
——As far as he knows, Hu Rong's life is quite poor, and he hasn't found a new job yet.
But in the end, for some reason, he seemed to be forgotten... Zhao Yucheng ignored him all the time.
——This is actually because Zhao Yucheng has been absorbed by Wu Yong's plan, and he has no mind to care about other things for the time being.
So Zhang Heying lived a life of fishing, clocking in, and getting paid at work.
But he has a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary!
Although the not-so-good experience before told him: Don't go to Lin You's bad luck if you have nothing to do.
But this opportunity is really good, just like a top boxer, seeing his opponent revealing a huge flaw, it is difficult to hold back the desire to make a move.
Zhang Heying also felt that she had seized an excellent opportunity, and she was ready to move for almost a whole week, but finally she couldn't help the restlessness in her heart, and decided to give it a try!
If it succeeds, it is really possible to directly subvert the industry situation and change the direction of the game industry!
Such an opportunity to reprimand Fang Qiu is a rare opportunity in a lifetime.
He even felt that this was his only chance to change his position in the history of game development!
From a "clown who provokes the creators of virtual reality games" to a "hero who breaks the monopoly of technology and makes virtual reality games flourish"!
And the key to everything lies in one word: "anti-monopoly"!
Before the emergence of Yunmeng, the game industry had only about 20 million players, and now the Mirage host will soon exceed 100 million.
The number of players in the Yunmeng family is five times that of all manufacturers in the market.
The reason why Yunmeng has gained this advantage is that it has completely monopolized the category of virtual reality games.
You must know that before this, no matter what kind of game carrier, it was developed from the technology delegated by the government, and there have always been many manufacturers competing at the same time.
The basis of everyone's competition lies in the content of the game and the operation strategy.
However, Yunmeng directly relied on technology and equipment to deal a dimensionality reduction blow to the rest of the developers in the industry.
——If Yunmeng doesn’t have so many players, even if it’s only 20 million, which is roughly equivalent to the original game industry stock, “monopoly” can hardly be a reason.
Because under the big category of [game industry], virtual reality games are just one of the subcategories.
Although it is very strong, but occupying a dominant position in the "subcategory", it will not be criticized harshly, but will only be praised by people.
But when the volume of this "subcategory" far exceeds the sum of all "other subcategories", that's another matter!
Daxia's support for the tertiary industry is very strong, and the protection is also very comprehensive, especially concerned about reasonable and fair competition.
So as long as the operation is good, there is every hope of breaking Yunmeng's monopoly!
Of course, it is not a break of the technological monopoly.
Daxia would not be unreasonable and force the release of other people's technology.
However, it is required to open the platform of virtual reality games, so that other game developers can also settle in and maintain a healthy business development environment, so the hope is not small!
Even if at that time, including NetDragon, other game manufacturers have to release games on Mirage, they will be controlled by others, but——
You can also hitch a ride!
Get healthier cash flow and more time to catch up on technology.
At least it won't be like it is now, seeing a slow death.
——No, for a company, this is not slow at all!
It can be said to be a quick sudden death!
The most important thing is that if he initiates this matter and finally allows Yunmeng to open the game platform, then he will be a hero in the game industry!
Even the players would betray Yunmeng to thank him!
The more Zhang Heying thought about it, the more his heart surged.
He picked up the printed proposal, left his seat, and knocked on the door of Zhao Yucheng's office.
...
Only half an hour later, Zhang and Yingzhi left the office satisfied.
Watching Zhang Heying leave, Zhao Yucheng nodded in satisfaction.
The boss's perspective is of course different from that of the employee.
What he cares about is not letting NetDragon's games log on to Yunmeng's game platform - starting a company to make money for Lin You, he can't accept it.
If it was any other company, he would admit it after gritting his teeth, but Yunmeng and Lin You really made him uncomfortable even thinking about it!
So for Zhang Heying's plan, he cared more about creating a favorable public opinion in advance.
That is: "Yunmeng's exclusive technology is a monopoly, and more game manufacturers will compete fairly, which is conducive to the long-term development of the industry."
In this way, after NetDragon also possesses virtual reality technology, it will be the hero that everyone expects, and it will be able to gain more support from the public opinion.
The only thing that makes him dissatisfied now is——
"What the hell is Wu Yong doing? Why hasn't there been any results yet?"
What is Wu Yong doing?
Wu Yong is losing his hair.
Soon after Wu Yong started the cracking work, he got good news and bad news.
The good news: they're now capable of producing virtual reality consoles.
The bad news is: they can only produce Yunmeng's mirage host...
Of course, it's not difficult to replace all the hardware.
But if the chip and software can't be decrypted, the shell of this machine has been completely replaced, and the core is still Yunmeng's system...
The hosts produced in this way have nothing to do with NetDragon.
It is equivalent to being a pirated console manufacturer that is not authorized by Yunmeng...
Ask him to report this to his boss?
Are you sick? !
The main reason is that they didn't expect that Yunmeng, even the automation software of the equipment produced by the cooperative manufacturer, had extremely complex encryption, so they couldn't find a clue.
But that doesn't mean it's all hopeless.
The technician told him: In theory, there is no absolutely unbreakable software encryption.
Mirage's chip couldn't be cracked, that's because it carried out multiple encryptions simultaneously on software and hardware, and all of them were complex encryptions that had never been seen before, so they couldn't do it at all.
But on the assembly line equipment of the partner, Yunmeng can't do hardware encryption one by one, one by one.
However, pure software encryption cannot be broken.
It is nothing more than more difficult to crack, it takes more time and money, and more manpower and material resources.
Wu Yong asked at the meeting: "How much more manpower and material resources?"
"How many people? How much? How much time?"
The technicians attending the meeting then began to tell him about technical difficulties, how to overcome them, possible problems and so on.
It made him dizzy.
In the end, I only heard one sentence: "Maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, maybe next year."
Anyway, it can be summed up in three words: "It's hard to say."
Wu Yong felt that if this went on like this, his risk of cerebral hemorrhage would increase dramatically!
*
Lin You didn't know anything about all this.
Before, there was a joint factory that reported an assembly line failure and applied to Yunmeng to install special software for a new assembly line equipment.
However, Yunmeng's own factory has been increasing its production capacity all the time, and the unmanned factory that it cooperates with was originally going to be reduced.
As a result, they just popped out...
So Lin You didn't choose any more, it was fate when they met, and it was yours!
The factory lost Yunmeng's order just like that, so it had to go back to make NetDragon's order to produce Feilong series VR equipment.
But the problem is that the sales of NetDragon's Feilong series have fallen off a cliff, and orders have naturally tightened up accordingly.
After the batch on the contract at that time was produced, there was no follow-up.
While apologizing at the wine table, Wu Yong vomited bitterness, saying that NetDragon's own factories had ceased production, and that the mud bodhisattva had crossed the river, and it was difficult for him to protect himself, and he really couldn't stand it...
The meaning is very clear: it's not that brothers don't count their words, they are really powerless.
Anyway, in the end, the factory owner found that he had no work to do...
As for "antitrust"?
Lin You had prepared countermeasures a long time ago, and there are more related plans in the future.
It doesn't even mention the term of patent protection that Lin You, as an inventor, already enjoys, nor does it talk about whether games are a basic industry that affects people's livelihood.
Right now, Zhang Heying never imagined that Yunmeng is not the only user of virtual reality technology.
As early as the night when Mirage was born, this technology was authorized by Lin You to the second organization!
——Represented by He Peng, Daxia Military Industry Research Institute!
And Daxia's "anti-monopoly" laws are all based on the premise of "exclusion" and "monopoly"!
I licensed the technology 800 years ago, and you are still here saying that I have a monopoly?
are you crazy?
