Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

If everything is uncertain, ask Gong Yu.

Gong Yu is qualified as a manager, and the company's functional departments are well organized. However, she does not know much about Internet technology, so she is somewhat lacking in specific business operations.

"I think the self-operated navigation business is better, with sustainable profitability, high autonomy and controllability. If we sell the default homepage location, if there is a problem and it won't cooperate, then switch to another one, which will have a negative impact on our users' experience."

Probably not good."

Wang Zheng was noncommittal, and after thinking for a while, he made the final decision: "Then do it yourself. Fang Xing, if you have the channels, take over this part of the business first, and Assistant Gong will arrange manpower to take over the operation work as soon as possible."

"I need Fang Xing to be released from operational work as soon as possible and focus on R&D management."

"Understood." X2

As a boss, you can decide what results you want and how your subordinates want to divide the work, but it is best not to care about what they do, otherwise it may end up being a mess.

Wang Zheng is well aware of this truth. He doesn’t know much about Internet operation strategies, so he just lets them do it on their own. It can’t be worse than him doing it himself!

However, the default homepage address of "Huo Rong Security" could not be sold. He had to find another profit point for the company as soon as possible to fill this fund, so as not to affect the company's development plan.

The "Cloud Network Billing System" stall has not yet been launched. Currently, there is only one distributor, Wang Dalong, and we have to wait for Bi Sheng to arrive before we can start to work hard.

It's strange that an unintentional website navigation business may start to make a profit.

Wang Zheng returned to the office, locked the door, disconnected his computer from the Internet, took off the USB flash drive he had been carrying with him, connected it to his computer and started browsing the files stored in it.

It would have been nice if I had saved some songs, movies, etc.

Wang Zheng was thinking greedily. Unfortunately, although he occasionally downloaded some action movies, he would not save them to the USB flash drive. Songs were even less likely. Internet music was pretty good, so why bother to save it.

More than 90% of the software in the USB flash drive is used in system integration projects, and the customers it targets are government, enterprise and commercial. These things are valuable, indeed, but the premise is that they can undertake the project and have the corresponding equipment.

OK.

For example, take the smart traffic management system. Without the future smart traffic light host, this software is just a decoration.

There are also urban video surveillance systems, intelligent face recognition platforms, and smart city big data platforms. These things also need to be used with hardware such as web cameras. In 2005, the world was still dominated by analog cameras, and web cameras were not yet popular.

how to use.

Besides, these projects are all government projects, which require project establishment, financing, bidding, construction, acceptance, and putting into use. The cycle is very long and does not meet the current actual needs of Huoyun.

Not finding anything useful in the project folder, Wang Zheng returned to the home directory, looked through it, and saw a folder named "Others".

There are basically some general tool software, such as remote connection, IP search, etc. There are not many, only more than 20.

These software are practical and practical, and they are all free to begin with. It is unrealistic to expect them to make money.

Just take a look and explore some ideas for the future. Wang Zheng clicked the mouse casually, reviewing the functions of these software in his mind.

Until he clicked on an icon with blue eyes and a software called "E2E", Wang Zheng didn't think of its function for a while, so he just opened it and took a look.

After seeing the simple software interface, Wang Zheng remembered that "E2E" is a network communication encryption software. The developer was an unknown Daxia person, and the release time was 2024. At that time, this software caused quite a stir.

sensation.

This software only has more than 4 MB, and its function is very simple, which is to encrypt the specified program. After encryption, this program can only communicate with the same encrypted program.

Strictly speaking, this thing is equivalent to a plug-in. For example, when you use "E2E" to encrypt your penguin, the information you send will become super garbled. Only the other party also uses "E2E" to encrypt the penguin.

Only then can you see the real information.

For this reason, many users have accused Goose Factory for a while of saying that the promise of "only responsible for information transmission" was a lie, because the information they received was all garbled, and they thought that Goose Factory had intercepted the information they should have received.

For this reason, Goose Factory spent a lot of effort, and then found the instigator "E2E".

It's a pity that Goose Factory didn't understand the principle, so it could only let users who saw garbled characters use "E2E", and later even released a separate "Penguin PC Encrypted Version"...

Once everyone knows and uses this software, this thing will be useless and just be treated as a toy.

Until a game company used this program to encrypt the game client and server - they were pleasantly surprised to find that the plug-in was gone.

Even if the plug-in uses "E2E" encryption, it will not work. The data encrypted by it is not allowed to be modified.

The online gaming community is celebrating.

All the online game plug-ins that have plagued online games for decades have been eliminated by this software. Except for plug-ins that simulate physical mouse and keyboard operations, all types of memory and data packet plug-ins are invalid, and the game delay has not been significantly reduced!

This is an exaggeration. Usually this encryption/decryption process takes a certain amount of time, especially in FPS online games, where delay is very important. Therefore, it is impossible for game manufacturers to use data encryption, and the game experience will be much worse.

, let alone e-sports competitions.

The encryption method "E2E" is unprecedented, but the effect is surprisingly good.

As for those plug-ins that simulate operation, they are really not that harmful, and there are many existing technologies that can handle them.

Wang Zheng didn't play online games very much, and he didn't pay much attention to this software later on. Even when he was working on the private server of "Shocking Earth", he didn't even think of using it to encrypt it to prevent cheating.

Well, it's not too late.

There is currently only one server for "Shattering Earth". In Nandu City, this is easy to operate. As for the client, because it is saved on the client's hard drive, it is necessary to remotely log in to the game server of each Internet cafe to provide customers with

After end-to-end encryption, the client is forced to update.

But this is not the point. The point is that this thing can be used to make money!

The online gaming industry in 2005 had suffered from cheating for a long time.

"Legend" and "Miracle" are living examples of being defeated by cheats. Of course, the failure of these two games has more to do with private servers. There are also future "Crossfire" and "Dungeon and Fighter" that are also cheated.

The hardest hit area.

The existence of plug-ins makes players lose all the fun of the game, shortens the life of online games, and most importantly, greatly reduces the operating company's income.

Let the Great God Huorong come and rescue you!

As long as a small amount of money can completely prevent cheating, there won't be anyone willing to spend this money, right?

Speaking of online games, currently the two most successful ones in Daxia are Shengda and Old City.

After "Legend" became free, Shengda paid little attention to the project, and "Miracle" was also sold by Old City. Unexpectedly, the copyrights of these two games made a lot of money a few years later - Page

The popularity of online games and mobile games has given these two games a new lease of life.

Moreover, Shengda now also has "MapleStory", which is also the hardest hit area by cheaters. Jiucheng now mainly produces "World of Warcraft", and there is also a demand for anti-cheaters - it is scared by Miracle cheats.

You have target customers, you understand customer needs, you have good products, but can’t you sell them?

Mr. Wang said it was impossible.
