My Cell Game
Chapter 4 The First Player
next morning.
Nanyang City Outskirts Industrial Park.
Jiang Zuo took a taxi and parked in front of a remote factory in the suburban industrial park.
Last night he made an appointment with Zhang Hao to meet this morning.
Little Lolita was sleeping late on Jiang Zuo's bed, refusing to get up, Jiang Zuo also had a leisurely time, and simply left her at home.
It is said to be a factory, but in fact there are only two workshops built with mobile prefabricated houses.
When Jiang Zuo walked to the factory gate, he saw Zhang Hao sending two men in suits away.
"Manager Li, let's see if the right to use the game can be delayed. I'm willing to add another 10% to the usage fee." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Boss Zhang, it's useless for you to tell me these things. I'm just conveying the meaning of the company's headquarters." Manager Li didn't even look at Zhang Hao, and said expressionlessly:
"That's what the headquarters mean. After the contract expires, your company has no right to use any of my company's games. This is not negotiable! As for what you said, the game warehouse you produced is useless for games. What does it matter to us? "
After finishing speaking, the two men in suits took a taxi and left, leaving Zhang Hao standing there and sighing helplessly.
"Old Zhang, what's the matter?" Jiang Zuo just walked over and asked Zhang Hao who was frowning and sighing.
Hearing Jiang Zuo's voice, Zhang Hao suppressed the melancholy on his face, forced a smile, and greeted warmly: "Lao Jiang, you are here."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Hao led Jiang Zuo into the factory through the main entrance.
They haven't seen each other for a few months, and the two chatted about their recent life. Zhang Hao didn't mention much about the operation of the factory, but judging from the closed doors of the factory, the benefits are not too optimistic.
Jiang Zuo didn't take the initiative to propose cell online. This matter cannot be rushed, and a suitable opportunity must be found.
At noon, Zhang Hao asked the restaurant to deliver some dishes and a case of beer, and the two set up a table in the room converted from containers in the factory.
This room is where Zhang Hao lives temporarily.
There is no comparison between a small factory and a large factory. They cannot work all day long. They can only hire some temporary workers to assemble the game warehouse when there are orders. Most of the time, the factory is in a state of shutdown.
Zhang Hao lives here, on the one hand, it is convenient to deal with the affairs of the factory, and on the other hand, it also acts as a guard. The small factory is on the verge of bankruptcy, so where can we get so much money to hire a guard.
Jiang Zuo had been here before, and the two of them set up the table and set up the food and wine with ease.
After drinking a few bottles of beer, Zhang Hao sighed and gradually talked about the factory's predicament.
"When I saw you coming, did you see the two people I sent? They are the representatives of the legal department of Anjiang Company." Zhang Hao shook his head slightly.
Jiang Zuo took a sip of beer and frowned.
Anjiang Company is a giant in the game industry today. All 3A masterpieces on the market, and more than 95% of the games, are produced by Anjiang Company.
Zhang Hao assembled the game warehouse, not produced the game. As far as Jiang Zuo knew, all the games in Zhang Hao's game warehouse were owned by Anjiang Company.
Zhang Hao continued: "Three years ago, Anjiang Company signed a three-year game use contract with us. The game warehouse we produce can use some of Anjiang's games within three years.
The three-year contract has expired, and Anjiang Company will not renew the contract. Any games under Anjiang, the game warehouse produced by me can no longer be used, and all must be uninstalled within a week. "
Hearing this, Jiang Zuo frowned and said, "What is Anjiang trying to do? They don't want to earn game royalties anymore?"
Jiang Zuo didn't understand what Anjiang was trying to do. Zhang Hao's game warehouse uses the games under Anjiang, and Anjiang charges the game usage fee. Isn't this a win-win cooperation?
Zhang Hao shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Old Jiang, your thinking is too naive. Have you ever heard a saying that shopping malls are like battlefields. An Jiang formally produced game warehouses last year and gave up the road of realism, but mainly developed towards the high-end market. It is a luxury hardware route.
Last year, An Jiang took 90% of the game warehouse.
The reason why Anjiang wants to cut off our game supply is to let us small manufacturers have no games to use.
Think about it, without Anjiang's 3A masterpiece, who would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a game warehouse that can only play 2D games?
At most one month, we small manufacturers will go bankrupt. At that time, Anjiang will be able to eat 100% of the market share of the game warehouse, and truly achieve a monopoly in all aspects of the game industry.
How much do we pay Anjiang for this use fee? Losing this bit of royalties in exchange for a full monopoly in the game industry is a temptation An Jiang cannot refuse. "
Jiang Zuo bowed his head and said nothing, he understood that Zhang Hao mainly lacks games now, there are no excellent games, and no one is willing to buy the game warehouses of these small manufacturers.
"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about this. Lao Jiang, eat and drink."
Zhang Hao said so much just to complain, he didn't expect Jiang Zuo to help him.
He plans to contact some game studios these days, trying to get some games made by small studios to recharge.
The games produced by small studios are of course incomparable to Anjiang's, but in this case, he can only get those low-quality games.
Jiang Zuo, who had been bowing his head, tapped the table with his chopsticks, and said suddenly, "Old Zhang, what if I say I have a game with 100% realism?"
"Huh?" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Come on, Lao Jiang, don't patronize drinking, eat more food."
Jiang Zuo rolled his eyes, this guy thought he was drinking too much and talking nonsense.
But when you think about it, Anjiang Company is only supporting the scene with a few 3A masterpieces, which don't even have a 1% degree of realism.
Jiang Zuo, a worker who works on the assembly line, said that he has a 100% realistic game. Isn't that a typical bragging after drinking too much!
Jiang Zuo smiled and said seriously: "I'm not kidding, I really have a game, it's in the basement I rented, I can take you to have a look. If you are satisfied, you can implant it into your game warehouse Here, I have no objection."
Zhang Hao looked at Jiang Zuo, thought for a while and nodded.
From Zhang Hao's point of view, Jiang Zuo probably created a game and wanted to release it through his own game warehouse.
Zhang Hao didn't have the slightest confidence in Jiang Zuo's game. He didn't need to use his brain to know that it must be an inferior game made of a few lines.
It's not that Zhang Hao looks down on Jiang Zuo, but that Jiang Zuo is a worker with no money and power, so where can he get the resources and money to make a good game? Cranking up a bad game is the limit.
After thinking about this point, Zhang Hao smiled. Forget it, it’s okay to add Jiang Zuo’s game to the game warehouse he produced. The big deal is to put it in the most inconspicuous place. Customers will at most scold their mothers when they play this game. .
"Okay, I'll help you. The game share is also based on the market price. Every time a customer plays your game, I will give you 20% of the fee as the usage fee." Zhang Hao agreed.
Most of the games in the game warehouse are paid by point cards. Generally, 20% of the money that players buy point cards will be given to the game company. Zhang Hao's 20% share to Jiang Zuo is considered quite satisfactory.
Jiang Zuo couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Hao thought that he was helping Jiang Zuo by suffering a little loss.
It's useless to say more, and Jiang Zuo didn't explain it. When Zhang Hao sees the cell online, he will realize how ridiculous his thoughts are.
After eating, at Jiang Zuo's invitation, Zhang Hao and Jiang Zuo took a taxi and drove to Jiang Zuo's rental house.
The basement of the rental house.
Under the dim light, Zhang Hao looked at the dilapidated game warehouse in the basement.
Holding Shennong's mentality, Zhang Hao turned on the computer screen in the game room, put his hands on the keyboard and mouse, and prepared to test the poison.
At this moment, Jiang Zuo came over with a game helmet and game suit in his arms, and handed them to Zhang Hao in the game cabin.
"What is this for?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly, and looked at Jiang Zuo puzzled.
The game helmets and game suits in front of me are very old, and they are still a gimmick made by the behind-the-scenes capital to cater to the "100% realism" propaganda when the game warehouse first came out.
The current game warehouse basically abandons helmets and game clothes, the reason is very simple——
The games in the game room are all ordinary computer games. Everyone sits in the game room and plays games with a mouse and keyboard. They also wear helmets and tight game suits. Isn’t this sick?
"Put on your clothes and helmet, my game doesn't need a mouse and keyboard, it's 100% realistic." Jiang Zuo said with a smile.
Zhang Hao's brows were slightly frowned, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
To be honest, Zhang Hao was not willing to take the time to try it out, he could almost imagine how eye-catching this game would be.
He was short on time, and it was a waste of time for him to play such an inferior game!
However, Jiang Zuo kindly invited him, let alone all of them came, Zhang Hao couldn't save face, so he could only play around casually and offer some suggestions by the way.
But before the game started, Jiang Zuo handed over the helmet and the game suit again. Changing into such tight clothing and helmets is cumbersome and uncomfortable.
That's not to mention, what really made Zhang Hao a little unhappy was that Jiang Zuo actually said in front of him that the game was 100% realistic.
Isn't this obviously fooling fools!
You know, even Anjiang Company can only produce 3A computer games. Jiang Zuo, an ordinary person, said that his game is 100% realistic in front of Zhang Hao, a veteran who has been in the game warehouse for three years. ?
Is this bullying Zhang Hao without knowledge?
Or are you mocking Zhang Hao's IQ?
My good brother actually fooled me for a fool?
Zhang Hao was already a little angry. He was going to give Jiang Zuo some suggestions for improvement, but what Jiang Zuo said made Zhang Hao feel a little unhappy. Zhang Hao decided to quit after just playing for two minutes. He was too lazy to give any suggestions for improvement. , be regarded as coping with errands.
Putting on the tight game suit and helmet, Zhang Hao felt uncomfortable all over his body, and lay down uncomfortably in the game cabin, closed the door from the inside, and found the game icon of Cell Online on the screen with the mouse.
The icon can't be described as rough, it's just writing the name of the game on the whiteboard.
Zhang Hao checked the size of the game by the way, and it was less than 1 G.
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything.
With such a rough icon and such a small game file, Zhang Hao already has an evaluation in his heart-this game can be regarded as a fighter among low-quality games.
Jiang Zuo outside the game warehouse sighed, Zhang Hao's fat body was really embarrassing for him in a small game suit.
But there is no way, a 100% realistic game, you must wear a game suit, a helmet or something.
In the game cabin, Zhang Hao double-clicked the icon twice. In the next second, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the body in the game cabin twitched and remained motionless.
Zhang Hao only felt that he had passed through countless deep tunnels. When he opened his "eyes" again, his eyes were hazy and blurred, and he had neither perfect vision nor hearing, nor even the most basic sense of touch.
Zhang Hao instinctively felt that he had turned into a ball.
This is a completely different experience from computer games!
"How did this game work?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised.
At this moment, the plot introduction designed by Little Lolita appeared in Zhang Hao's mind:
[Welcome to the cell online game. This is a dying body where an evil virus is devouring life. The owner's life is at stake. As a member of the source cell, it's time for you to shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting the virus. Evolve in devouring, rebirth in killing! Cellular life, endless life! 】
