Giant of the times

Seeing everyone's surprise, Bushnell had a smile on his face. He picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems everyone has guessed it! Yes, this sniper player is Chronos Li! Now let us welcome Mr. Li to the stage with the warmest applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause!

Li Zetian walked slowly to the stage. He was wearing a white suit and a black tie. He was exceptionally handsome, like a prince charming.

Immediately, some beauties in the audience couldn't help but scream.

"Chronos Li, I love you!"

"Chronos·Li, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"

…

Huh?

Li Zetian looked down the stage and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He saw a boy there excitedly shouting that he wanted to give birth to a monkey. This made Li Zetian feel chills all over his body and gave him goosebumps.

After calming down, Li Zetian walked to Bushnell, nodded to him, and then took a microphone from his hand.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chronos Li. Welcome to Flamingo Company's press conference!" Li Zetian looked at the audience and smiled, bowing slightly, looking humble and polite.

Suddenly, the audience burst into deafening applause again.

Li Zetian pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The three games just now must have given you a preliminary understanding of the game "Counter-Strike". "Counter-Strike" is a shooting series of games that will Players are divided into two teams, the 'Counter-Strike' camp and the 'Terrorist' camp. Each team must fight for multiple rounds on a map. The way to win a round is to achieve the goal required by the map, or to completely eliminate the enemy players. .The game modes are: 'blast mode', 'hostage rescue mode' and other modes..."

Li Zetian talked about it and introduced the situation of "Counter-Strike" in detail to everyone. Combined with the previous demonstration, people already have a very clear understanding of "Counter-Strike".

At this moment, everyone has to admit that "Counter-Strike" is definitely one of the most classic games in the history of gaming!

Those game developers are all envious and jealous, but there is nothing they can do about it. Flamingo Company has super geniuses like Li Zetian and is destined to keep suppressing them.

Some of the game retailers at the guest table were all gearing up and excited.

They knew deep down that if Counter-Strike was sold in their store, it would be a huge hit. "Counter-Strike" will definitely become a hit game, thus driving sales of other games. Players who come to the store to buy game discs do not necessarily only buy one game.

Hot products are very important to any industry. Hot products represent popularity. As long as they are popular, they can generate huge value!

However, Li Zetian may disappoint these game retailers.

He wants to develop the Battle.net platform!

Li Zetian took a deep breath and was about to introduce the Battle.net platform. He was a little excited. At the same time, he knew very well that once the Battle.net platform was announced, some of his previous retail store partners would regard him and the Flamingo Company as enemies.

This is a very simple truth. If games are downloaded from online software platforms, offline game stores will be severely impacted!

"Ahem!!!"

Li Zetian coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said in a deep voice: "During the previous demonstration, "Counter-Strike" chose LAN to play online. However, for many players, there are only 1 or 2 computers at home. This How to play against each other? Of course, "Counter-Strike" provides an AI mode for human-machine battles. However, machines are machines after all. Without communication, enthusiasm and team spirit, it is just like playing a single player, which is very boring. So..."

"In order to provide players with an opportunity to compete online, Flamingo Company created Battle.net!!!"

"Battle.net is a battle platform on the Internet. Players who register and log in to Battle.net can compete with other players online! On Battle.net, you may meet Americans, Chinese, British or Koreans. As long as there are Where the Internet is, all players around the world can play games on Battle.net, and they may become your teammates or your enemies!”

As Li Zetian narrated, the eyes of the game fans in the audience shone with excitement. "Counter-Strike" is already so fun, but it is even more interesting to be able to compete online with players from all over the world!

Li Zetian continued: "However, Flamingo Company develops "Counter-Strike" and Battle.net platforms, and also provides network broadband services, which naturally costs a lot of money. Therefore, Flamingo Company also has to find ways to make money, and the company has money. , we can develop more interesting games in the future.”

Game fans naturally expressed their support.

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said: "To use the Battle.net platform, you must register for a Battle.net account. The Battle.net platform is not only a game battle platform, but it is also a game publishing platform. In the future, the computer games of Flamingo Company will all be on Battle.net. Published on the online platform. Games on the platform require paid downloading. After payment, the games will be bound to the Battle.net account and can be used for free forever in the future!"

As soon as this statement came out, game players found it very convenient. In this way, they did not need to go to the store to buy game discs, but could directly pay to download them on the Battle.net platform. But the faces of the retailers changed drastically and they were horrified.

The retailers looked at each other, fidgeted, and discussed in low voices.

"With the influence of Flamingo Company, the Battle.net platform will probably grow and develop very soon. If all future computer games are sold through the Battle.net platform, then physical stores like us will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind!"

"Well, with the rise of the Internet, there are countless pirated games online, and the speed of dissemination is simply outrageous. These have caused us huge losses! Now, Flamingo Company has a clever name and actually develops the Battle.net platform. Why is it so stupid? Is it Chronos? ·Isn’t Li afraid that Flamingo’s pirated games will also be spread online?”

"Flamingo Company harms others but not ourselves. Our retail stores must join forces to boycott! Otherwise, we will suffer huge losses in the future!"

"Yes, we must join forces to resist!"

Not long after, some retail stores have begun to form alliances in private.

Li Zetian stood on the stage and observed the reactions of the retailers. He saw all the reactions of the retailers. Li Zetian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, it was driven by interests. In the past, Flamingo Company could create benefits for them, and everyone provided Flamingo Company. Now that the Battle.net platform came out, their attitude changed immediately.

However, the general trend is that Li Zetian does not care about the thoughts of these game retailers.

Even if they keep opposing it, Li Zetian must launch the Battle.net platform!
