1991 Starting from the core

It stands to reason that any Chinese would build an "old object" like an archway that has a long history.

But when it was his turn to build a memorial arch for the game, he was stumped for a while.

After all, these guys are really here for money. Even if you love games, you still love the games themselves - they are the kind of people who love "playing".

How to stand it up?

Unless, as Su Yuanshan said, the concept of cultural carrier is proposed.

"How about someone release the entire historical game? Then find someone to brag about it?" Shi Dazhu's mind turned quickly, and he immediately laughed: "Just like Glory, make a historical game like the Three Kingdoms."

"No way...don't get annoyed when a bunch of old antiques come over and say they don't respect history."

"Why do you care so much? If there are objections, you can still publicize it in reverse."

"Is Guangrong going to have to sue? Three Kingdoms has registered a trademark."

"Then let's set up the head office of Sui and Tang Dynasties, shall we?"

…

Su Yuanshan listened to these people chatting away, but none of them got to the point... he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But when he thought about it, it seemed that these people were not involved in the fair fight against the ***.

Not to mention purely entertainment games like Red Alert and Dune. Currently, the only games with excellent balance and tactics seem to be StarCraft and Warcraft from Blizzard.

Well, as for Delta Force... it's almost like old YB's paradise. It's too unappreciative to use for competition.

As for CS, which is popular all over the world, even its main body, Half-Life, is still just a fetus.

After thinking for a while, Su Yuanshan interrupted: "Everyone, why don't you go in the direction of competition?"

Liu Xiang immediately looked at him: "Competition?"

"Well, game competition." Su Yuanshan picked up the teacup. At this time, a gust of wind blew over, making it chilly. He quickly turned his back and took another sip of tea. Then he smiled and said: "You all know that our country's road to bid for the Olympics is very important. Tough, right?”

In the 1990s, it could be said that the whole country was engaged in two things besides making money.

One is to join the WTO, and the other is to bid for the Olympic Games.

This matter has almost become a problem till now.

"Although I said without shame that games are cultural carriers just now - well, let me say without shame that this thing is the ninth art. But now we have to go against the trend, which is obviously a bit tit-for-tat, which is not very good."

"But if the meaning of the game itself can be unearthed, it may be more convincing." Su Yuanshan looked at everyone with a smile: "If nothing else, if a game can reflect confrontation in terms of strategy and player reactions, Sex. Then can this game become a competitive event?"

"For example, StarCraft. Compared with Red Alert, its balance and strategy are excellent - I can't always beat my senior brother, even though he is thirty years old, his reaction and operation speed are not as fast as mine. quick."

"...Is it Mr. Qin?" Qiu Bojun asked in surprise, "Do you still have time to play games?"

"I still play occasionally... to rest my brain." Su Yuanshan chuckled, and then said: "If this kind of game can be born in China, it may not be born. But if it can lead to the establishment of a global competition project for confrontational video games , can it not only expand its influence, but also compete for honors? When the time comes, we will promote it as a sports project...will everything be perfect?"

As Su Yuanshan finished speaking, at least half of the people present's eyes lit up.

With Su Yuanshan's tips on e-sports, this group of people's discussion will be much more purposeful - if the game can be "honorified", it will obviously be a great weapon against stigma.

Especially Liu Xiang, because he has been in the provincial capital for a long time and has a lot of contacts with Yuanxin, he knows that the most important thing for Yuanxin is influence.

Today in the world's gaming industry, although domestic companies have made certain achievements by going overseas collectively to keep warm, their influence and voice are still not as good as those of other European, American and neon countries.

"Everyone, I have an idea." Liu Xiang said to everyone after thinking silently for half an hour: "Mr. Shan's suggestion just now is very good, but how to do it specifically... I think we have to analyze it."

Shi Dazhu nodded at him: "Old Liu, tell me."

Su Yuanshan also looked at Liu Xiang with interest.

"It's like this. President Shan just mentioned the Olympic bid. I think, if you look at it from a higher perspective... the reason why we are obsessed with bidding for the Olympics lies in the mentality of the country. Everyone here touches your chest and says, from top to bottom Next, from the country to us ordinary people, do you particularly want to be recognized by the world now?"

Su Yuanshan's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

With Su Yuanshan's approval, Liu Xiang became more confident and said with a smile: "So, if we can really lead the establishment of a large-scale e-sports competition similar to the Olympic Games... and we can still get a ranking, it will be a great influence for the entire gaming industry. The reputation is definitely positive.”

"Let's put it this way, just the fact that it can attract countless foreigners to come to our place to participate in the competitions organized by us is exciting enough. Right?"

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's what I mean."

"Then, we can take the lead in establishing a special organizing committee for the World E-Sports Competition according to the model of the Olympic Organizing Committee..."

Su Yuanshan added again: "World Cyber ​​Games, World Electronic Sports Competition - it can be referred to as WCG."

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Mr. Shan, have you even thought of a name?"

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "I chose a name casually - if you think it doesn't sound right, you can change it, I don't care."

Everyone talked about it for a while and found that WCG became more and more fluent the more they recited it, and they immediately decided on it.

Liu Xiang looked around and said with a smile: "Then it's called WCG."

"At the game summit a few days ago, many of us talked about the specific classification of games, as well as the development prospects and directions of various games. Personally, I believe in real-time strategy, shooting and racing games. The market still has great potential to be tapped, and it is also very confrontational and entertaining.”

"In these game categories, we can definitely pull out high-quality games and use them as competition events."

"What do you think?"

Someone laughed at that moment: "Old Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? Just draft an establishment plan! Let's live like an Olympic Organizing Committee official."

Liu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Worry first, brother, but if we host an event... what about the money? Where will the bonuses come from?"

Su Yuanshan said leisurely: "It's enough to name it. If you feel that Yuanxin's one is not enough, I will help you get two more - Microsoft?"

"Okay!" Liu Xiang laughed and said, "What I'm waiting for is what you said, Mr. Shan! Come on, let's sum it up and see how we can build this WCG organizing committee."

…

Su Yuanshan didn't speak anymore, but happily basked in the warm winter sun.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his phone buzzed.

The mobile phone Su Yuanshan carries with him is a private number that only his family and senior executives of Yuanxin know. Except for particularly urgent business, everyone usually calls the official number.

He took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID was Xi Xiaoding.

"Didn't it disturb your party?" Xi Xiaoding said with a smile on the phone, knowing that Su Yuanshan had given himself a rare holiday today to accompany a group of friends from the thatched cottage party.

"No, everyone is playing." Su Yuanshan put down the beach chair and lay down, still closing his eyes, and said with a smile: "What's the matter."

"Hmm... I can't beat that guy Zeng Peng. He said he has something important to discuss with you. I just gave him your private number - I guess you can get the call as soon as I hang up here."

Su Yuanshan opened his eyes suddenly: "Why does the county magistrate want me?"

"I don't know, and I'm too lazy to ask..."

"..."

Zeng Peng, Xi Xiaoding’s classmate during his master’s degree at the University of Science and Technology of China, currently serves as the director of the Development Management Committee.

According to the administrative level of the provincial capital, he is the real county magistrate.

After hanging up Zeng Peng's call, Su Yuanshan looked at everyone with a wry smile: "Everyone, I'm a little embarrassed. The director of the Development Zone Management Committee is coming soon. I told him that he wouldn't even go to his office. It seems he was irritated. Came with us."

Liu Xiang is the local snake here. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Is it Director Zeng?"

"Um."

"Then I guess he wants to come up with some policy return visit." Liu Xiang laughed: "The leaders of our development zone are quite responsible. They always fall in love with various companies when they have nothing to do."

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded: "After all, he is from a technical background, so he can chat with us."

Not long after, Zeng Peng was welcomed to the rooftop garden by the waiter.

Zeng Peng is an undergraduate student from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1979. He is just 36 years old this year. As a rare leader with a pure technical background, the position of director of the development zone management committee was as if it was tailor-made for him. At that time, after the province decided to develop the software industry based on Yuanxin, the management was decided. The committee director must have a technical background.

Judging from the development in the past few years, this decision is undoubtedly wise.

Because only people who are engaged in technology can resonate with technology companies and know what these technology talents really need.

Therefore, Zeng Peng didn't have much airs as a leader. He was slightly overweight and happily went upstairs with a briefcase under his arm, even without his secretary.

Looking around, he looks like a university teacher who is getting ready to go to class.

…

After meeting and chatting with a group of people, Zeng Peng naturally sat at Su Yuanshan's table. The others also moved their positions and got closer.

"I thought I was looking for Mr. Shan, the God of Wealth, today, but unexpectedly, there are a lot of Gods of Wealth here..." Zeng Pengxian laughed: "That can be considered as being caught by me."

"Director Zeng, don't scare us." Among those present, Liu Xiang and Zeng Peng were the most familiar, and they smiled and said, "No one here owes you rent, water or electricity."

"Hi! What Mr. Liu said..." Zeng Peng naturally knew that Liu Xiang was joking with him, and at the same time, he helped himself warm up and laughed: "In this case, I won't talk nonsense. I guess everyone doesn't know... we The development zone has been rated as an advanced demonstration unit of the National Torch Plan.”

Liu Xiang laughed again and applauded by the way: "Congratulations, by the way, do you want to waive the utility bill to congratulate me?"

Everyone also clapped.

"No! No!" Zeng Peng replied cheerfully, and at the same time he opened his briefcase, took out a drawing and put it on the table.

"Mr. Shan, everyone, this is the current plan of the software park. After receiving support from the country, provinces and cities, the development zone has decided to expand vertically based on the current Longxiang Avenue. In addition to attracting investment in new business buildings In addition, supporting public facilities will also be built in the development zone.”

"Here, we plan to build a theater."

As soon as Zeng Peng finished speaking, several people in the development zone immediately applauded.

Su Yuanshan also looked at Zeng Peng a few times - it seemed that this old man did have some ideas.

Today's software park already has hundreds of game, software, and Internet companies, plus the giant Yuanxin Technology Park. It can be said that the area with a radius of more than ten miles below is definitely the area with the highest concentration of wealth in the entire provincial capital.

If per capita wealth is used, this range can even be extended to the whole country.

The concentration of wealth is bound to be accompanied by an increase in consumption levels and grades, coupled with various business transactions... Therefore, in theory, this place can accommodate any high consumption.

This is also the reason why Su Yuanshan hired Shi Dazhu without even thinking about it - because the giant would definitely not lose money in the hotel here.

And even if Su Yuanshan fails, the giants today are not the giants they were back then, and the financing channels are different. Shi Dazhu found Su Yuanshan mainly because as the president of the Caotang Hui, he should seek help from the Caotang Hui first, which could be regarded as setting an example.

"Don't panic, everyone, in addition to the movie theater, there are plans here. We will set up a professional data center computer room, and next to it will be the supercomputing center of the Electronic Science and Technology Commission..."

Zeng Peng laughed and pointed to the center of the map again.

"In addition, this will be an exhibition center. Although there is already an international exhibition center in the provincial capital, it is too far away from us, and both in terms of layout and facilities, it is biased towards the whole industry. , It doesn’t match the temperament of our technology circle.”

"The exhibition center we want to build will be fully optimized with a focus on software, the Internet, games, and electronic products, and will also focus on optimizing the product launch venue."

"In addition, in terms of network infrastructure, we will complete the strategic-level fiber optic backbone network layout, making our southwest corner the fastest network region in the country..."

…

With Zeng Peng's pointing, a grand blueprint appeared on the paper.

Many people present have already stood up and looked at the map.

Su Yuanshan didn't move because he was sitting at the table, but he still pulled his chair closer and listened carefully to Zeng Peng's description.

"Bosses, in addition to providing policies, the future development zone will also vigorously support various cutting-edge technology laboratories and research centers, and ultimately form a software park, Yuanxin Technology Park, and Dianke Branch as the horns of each other. A large high-tech new city.”

In the silence, someone suddenly said: "Silicon Valley?"

"Yes!" Zeng Peng's face glowed brightly and he raised his head: "It's Silicon Valley!"

Su Yuanshan looked at this short, fat middle-aged man who was over thirty-five and slightly fat, with happiness in his eyes, and he suddenly became a little envious.

——Look, how “simple” are people’s ideals?

(Well, send it to the Q group again: 2762643. There are still several red envelopes in the group that have not been claimed...)
