"I think you may have misunderstood something."

Yiwen worked hard on his own sales.

This time, he thought he was quite sure of convincing Zhu Youxing.

After all, recently, he also found out through various channels that the revenue of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has decreased.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment generally does not take the initiative to announce its own business information, but it is still necessary to report to the government normally, and naturally some information will be revealed during this link.

There is also the official sales statistics report of the Battle.net platform,

This is a function that was left over when it was planning to compete with Su Rui Electronics, and it has not been cancelled.

This later became a reference object for many people. Game practitioners will explore the current fashion trends on the sales rankings to see what games they can make more money in the future.

Some players who don't have a big tendency towards game types can also rely on sales to choose those game products that are at least popular with the public.

Zhu Youxing interrupted Ivan's eloquence, then pointed to a clock on the wall and said, "You still have two minutes left."

"Forehead……"

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Zhuyou, do you still think our products are not good? Recently, our products have brought higher value to many companies, and their game sales have greatly improved. , and on the other hand, the sales of your company's game products are declining sharply in this piracy storm."

Zhu Youxing narrowed his eyes: "From what you mean, it seems that I have to buy your products to encrypt the game, otherwise our game sales will decrease in the future?"

"No, no, I definitely don't mean that. Mr. Zhuyou, your video games are very good. First of all, every time you release the latest game, I buy it immediately, and sometimes I even buy a separate copy. The Collector's Edition of the game is for collection."

"Thank you very much for liking my game." Zhu Youxing said.

Ivan immediately said: "It is precisely because I realize that Mr. Zhuyou's game products are so excellent, so they need more careful care and protection, and my encrypted products are a means of protection."

Zhu Youxing said: "However, as I said before, if your product has an impact on performance when the game is running, then I will not use your product. Are you planning to continue this time? Are you trying to convince me? Or are you saying that you have already cracked this problem to ensure that your program will never hog the game's performance during the game?"

"This... this problem can't be solved, or..."

In other words, this is simply an unsolvable problem.

The encryption system essentially needs to run along with the operation of the video game.

This is the best way to protect the integrity of a video game and to detect piracy from start to finish.

But if, as Zhu Youxing said, the resources and performance of the game are not occupied during the running of the game, then this kind of encryption program will lose its greatest effect.

Therefore, Zhuyouxing's requirements are somewhat contrary to the principle of this encryption program itself.

At least in the case of current game encryption programs, these two requirements conflict with each other.

Zhu Youxing shrugged: "Then we have nothing to say, well, you still have a minute."

"Mr. Zhuyou, in fact, I can tell you unceremoniously that if your video games are not properly protected, the value of your game products will definitely be reduced. Players are a group of people who like to take advantage. They If you can play the game for free, you will never spend money, and it is very unwise to completely give up the encryption program for a small performance loss when running the game."

Zhu Youxing joked: "You are also a video game player, and what you said just now even ridiculed yourself, and I think you should also really underestimate the attitude of video game players. There's nothing wrong with liking free stuff, but most gamers also have a morality."

Just like Zhu Youxing himself, when he grows up, has an independent personality, and has the ability to spend, he will want to pay for the pirated games he once played.

This kind of behavior is actually not to buy that game and play it again, but a kind of... peace of mind?

Or something else.

And there are not a few people like Zhu Youxing.

More and more people, like Zhu Youxing, began to pay fares when they became adults and had their own spending power.

And this kind of behavior has also brought some quite old games back to life in the original world.

In his world, big games would certainly be popular.

And niche games have room to survive in front of such a group of players who have a unique love for video games.

At that time, the group of independent game developers did not have any game encryption programs to help them. Sometimes the games they made might just be uploaded, and their games appeared on pirated platforms before the official game platform had finished reviewing them. work.

But even so, this kind of game has still achieved the results and benefits it deserves, so that such a niche game company has room to survive.

But this Yiwen is really a bit of a map gun.

It seems that he has gone a little crazy trying to promote his products.

"Mr. Takeyou, it seems that you are really outdated. Just look at it. Your video games will gradually be eroded by pirated games, and you will gradually decline. I am really sorry that you But the big game companies are about to come to an end."

Obsolete?

Obviously, it's impossible for people in this world to know that Zhu Youxing has experience in another world.

In that world, Zhu Youxing had already seen all the process of game development in this world.

The trend of pirated games, the trend of politically correct games, and the trend of exclusive games, plus the popularity of this game encryption program and being cast aside by thousands of people, Zhu Youxing has experienced it all.

In the eyes of others, Zhu Youxing's behavior is unwilling to accept new things.

However, in his eyes, these things have already become something that he is tired of looking at.

"Okay, your time is up, and I have my own business to do, so I don't need to come to my company again, and my company won't welcome you anymore." Zhu Youxing stood up, ready to let this guy leave.

However, Zhu Youxing also caught some clues in Ivan's paintings.

"By the way, what you said just now seemed to be a little threatening. From what you mean, it seems that you are very confident that I will be defeated by piracy. So what do you have to do with piracy?"

"No, I don't have anything to do with it at all. I'm just reminding you out of good intentions. How could I have anything to do with piracy." Ivan quickly denied.

However, his expression was very proud.

"However, even if there is a relationship, Mr. Takeyou, you don't seem to be able to directly use this reason to accuse me? You have no evidence."

"Evidence?" Zhu Youxing raised his eyebrows, "If I really want some evidence, it's actually quite easy."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zhu Youxing smiled: "It seems that you may not really understand my Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Do you know how many people in our company are proficient in Internet technology and computer investigation technology?"

Evan frowned.

He didn't understand why Zhu Youxing asked such a question suddenly, but suddenly he felt a faint feeling of something wrong.

"In my company, there is the top AI team, and there is also a top program and computer technology research team, this team is called 'Stanford Legion', and we also have contacts with many universities, you really Do you think that I have no means to deal with your little tricks?"

Ivan was slightly taken aback.

Stanford Legion?

what is that?

The name has a powerful feel to it.

But he had never heard that name before.

It's normal for him not to have heard of it.

Generally, only quite experienced game practitioners can understand some basic structures of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The official game development team of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment currently has about twenty.

Ten of the development departments are located in Japan, after all, Japan is the base camp of Zhuyouxing.

Secondly, in the United States, there are four development teams responsible for different game types. The four teams there are also teams specializing in European and American style games. Among them, Uncharted, GTA and Cyberpunk 2077 are the key development games there.

Then there are six official game development departments in Europe, Australia, and Africa.

These 20 game development departments produce a variety of high-quality games with high efficiency every year, and they are the assault soldiers of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The manager of these 20 game development departments is Zhu Youxing himself. In addition to being the president, he is also a director of game development.

Behind these 20 game development departments, there are engine development companies, special effects production companies, and Zhu Youxing is also responsible for managing and directing.

Then, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also has five engineering development departments.

Three are in Japan and two are in the United States.

They are mainly responsible for the research and development of all video game-related hardware of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and Hayazawa Airi serves as the director of engineering development.

Minoru Matsuhashi leads all business operations, marketing, expansion and other management. He can be regarded as the company's big housekeeper and the chief executive director.

Finally, there is a not-so-secret team within Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The team can understand with just a little inquiring.

And this team is called the Stanford Legion.

This team is more or less in the nature of a local warlord. The management is completely autonomous and can not be directly managed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The Stanford Legion has one and only one leader.

That is Tsukino Aya.

The Stanford Legion also has the strongest computer technology strength.

All the program technical problems of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are solved by them.

In the Stanford Legion, everyone is from Stanford University, and they are still the best computer-related majors.

Stanford has an in-depth cooperative relationship with Youxing Electronics Entertainment. If a Stanford student wants to join Youxing Electronics Entertainment, as long as they can pass the interview of Tsukino Aya, then they don’t need any personnel-related assessments, and they can go to work directly, and they can also directly Get pretty good pay.

And they usually have only one task: to solve all the problems of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This problem includes programming skills in video game development, but is not limited to tasks such as new software development, network server maintenance, server protection, etc.

Then, when necessary, they will also act as the dagger hidden in the dark by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

"Stanford Corps..."

Zhu Youxing said: "Believe me, the Internet is not a place outside the law. What you think does not leave any traces is only for ordinary people. For real professionals, all your actions are nothing more than lame thieves. It's just a clumsy concealment."

Zhu Youxing walked up to Ivan and patted him on the shoulder.

"Now, I am considered a senior, and you are a junior. I can only hope that you will not be caught by me, otherwise, your fate will be even worse."

At this moment, Zhu Youxing didn't have the casual or moderate attitude before.

He suddenly had a domineering posture now.

It is a kind of calmness and sophistication accumulated over the years.

It's not something that Yiwen, who is only in his twenties, can resist.

What's more, if calculated according to real experience, Zhu Youxing should add another ten years to his current biological age.

That is, the extra ten years of social experience that I had before traveling through.

On the Internet, never say you can hide well.

The only way you can do anything on the Internet without getting caught is by doing nothing.

As long as you do, the Internet will definitely leave a trace.

Data never lie.

Ivan slowly broke out in a cold sweat.

And he couldn't care less about talking with Zhu Youxing, but left Youxing Electronic Entertainment quickly while sweating.

As soon as he walked out of the building of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of his partner.

"Hey, I want to know if we have hidden what we did before."

"What? It's well hidden? It will never be discovered?"

"you sure?"

"You are not sure what it is. You said before that you can completely destroy any evidence."

"The data will not be absolutely erased?"

"damn it!"

Yiwen quickly left the Youxing Building.

At this moment, the Stanford Legion has already acted.

In fact, they have already started to act when Youxing Electronic Entertainment began to encounter a wave of piracy.

Tsukino Aya can be regarded as a genius programmer.

At the beginning, what she was best at was Internet offense and defense.

Now it's like going back to the old line.

And she also has an entire think tank proficient in Internet and computer technology.

In front of this kind of team, there will not be many secrets of the Internet that can be hidden.

On the Internet, evidence often doesn't require any direct proof.

Even if it is just an inconspicuous data, it can become the absolute evidence that determines everything.
