1991 Starting from the core

Frankly speaking, Su Yuanshan did not think that these two people could understand the concept of "cultural input" now, and they should not even have this awareness.

What era is it now? It is an era when everything is focused on money, an era when scar literature and reflective literature are popular, and an era when traditional culture and even civilization are once again denied.

For example, in a documentary a few years ago, it reflected on history and civilization, and believed that the only way out was to move towards the blue ocean.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan was very curious as to why these two people thought of using an oriental background - they were obviously not accustomed to the local environment.

…

Facing Su Yuanshan's question, Shi Dazhu smiled confidently: "The current game background is mainly based on the Western Dragon Quest, and we believe that for game players, curiosity is a common essence. If we can Bringing out a system based on Eastern culture can not only satisfy players' taste for novelty and bring the charm of the mysterious East, but also bring a diverse background system to the game field."

"You mean this is a plus?"

"Well, we think it is a plus point for now. But one thing that is not sure is whether it is a martial arts culture with Jin Guliang as the core or a fairy culture with Shushan as the core."

Su Yuanshan took a breath, thought silently for a few seconds and then said cautiously: "If you look purely at market acceptance, I really can't judge. But if you can be the first to create the first graphic multiplayer online game , with the support of innovative game modes, certain results will definitely be achieved.”

What Su Yuanshan said was not modesty, but he really couldn't judge.

In his previous life, even if he only played World of Warcraft as a casual party for a period of time, and then only had a taste of other games, including single-player games - he was not a game enthusiast - but this did not prevent him from knowing that online games, There is a serious acclimatization between the East and the West.

Domestic online games have never gone abroad - it seems that a few of them briefly existed in the surrounding "Confucian cultural circle".

As for online games purely from the west, only World of Warcraft has gained a firm foothold, while the others have retreated in despair.

But Su Yuanshan cannot be too full of words, because not only are there no online games now, but even PC stand-alone games have just entered the explosive period - the next five years will truly establish the status of each game company in the world.

For example, Westwood will launch Command \u0026 Conquer next year and Red Alert the year after that. Blizzard will launch Warcraft 2, Diablo, and StarCraft one after another. G Fat will launch Half-Life and CS in a few years...

Compared with history, today's gaming world has more domestic people, and no one knows where the future will go - you know, Su Yuanshan can be said to have directly advanced the domestic gaming industry by more than five years.

Seeing that Su Yuanshan could not give an accurate answer, Shi Dazhu and Qiu Bojun were not disappointed. After all, they knew that Su Yuanshan's energy had been in the semiconductor field. The two of them came here mainly to meet Davidson - Davidson happened to go to Zhiyuan today.

Next, the three people talked about the current situation and future of the domestic software industry.

Regarding the future of the software industry, everyone believes that the domestic market will be a big market sooner or later. And as computer-related disciplines continue to heat up and related majors are decentralized to technical secondary schools, a large number of programmers will surely emerge in the next few years.

However, judging from the current popularity and development speed of domestic computers, it is difficult for these programmers to make full use of their talents.

In a country with low computer ownership, it is impossible to develop a huge software development market - not every company has the strength to go abroad.

"It doesn't matter. As long as there are talents, they can always find a use." Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "You can work for foreigners."

"Working for a foreigner? How to work?"

"Set up an outsourcing company to take over work from foreigners." Su Yuanshan thought of his third brother as he spoke.

Although the third brother in later generations has the reputation of "being the best at everything and boasting the best", in the software industry, he is really fucking unique...

You know, even in 2020, the social structure of this country is still in pre-modern times, and more than half of the people are as poor as hell. Not to mention the number of computers and smart terminals...

But their software industry has really developed.

The root cause is that this country began to focus on outsourcing of work as early as the 1990s.

"In the future, whether it is Yuanxin or you, as long as you communicate more with Silicon Valley and the West, you will always be able to get jobs." Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "As long as programmers can survive, we can If you have access to code, then when the domestic economy takes off, these programmers will be the trump cards for the domestic software industry to truly take off."

"Okay! This road is great!" Qiu Bojun clapped his hands and laughed: "Don't tell me, it seems that programmers from neighboring countries just take jobs."

"Do you know Third Brother?"

"Well, I added a few foreigners to EM and chatted for a few words." Qiu Bojun said and praised: "Speaking of it, EM is really an epoch-making communication software. The slogan of global village has been chanted for decades, and the Internet also appeared. It has taken decades, but what really makes me feel that the earth is a 'village' and that I can get to know my next door neighbor as soon as I open my mouth is EM. Even email is not qualified."

"Otherwise, how can we call it instant messaging software?" Shi Dazhu also smiled and complimented: "Speaking of Mr. Shan, will Yuanxin's software only develop into Internet tools in the future?"

"Not necessarily." Su Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "Yuanxin has several laboratories that have been developing professional tools and underlying systems, but they may not be too involved in commercial software."

In the afternoon, Davidson ended his visit to Jiang Wanchao and returned to Yuanxin. At the same time, Ding Lei and Pony also came to the provincial capital.

Ding Lei took the same flight back to China as Xinghai and the others, but he returned to the Special Administrative Region first after HK and stayed for another two days to prepare before rushing over.

…

"Mr. Shan, I heard your tea is good?"

In Su Yuanshan's office, Pony was sitting on the guest sofa. Although he was informal, he was still a little polite. But Ding Lei was different. He stood in front of Su Yuanshan's filing cabinet, reaching out and looking at his words, trying to find a painful expression on Su Yuanshan's face so that he could get the most expensive tea.

Since being hit by the autumn wind one after another, the labels on Su Yuanshan's tea cans have been torn off. Now only Zhou Xiaohui knows that those cans contain good tea.

"One can per person, you can draw the lottery as you like." Su Yuanshan didn't care, he didn't drink tea anyway.

"If you say that, why do I think you are street vendors?" Ding Lei opened a jar and took a sniff, becoming suspicious.

Su Yuanshan chuckled.

Senior Brother Ding has been running in the west for the past month, and now he has lost a lot of weight, from a chubby little boy to a lean young man.

Even Pony has lost a lot of weight.

The two of them worked so hard, so naturally he wouldn't be stingy with tea.
