I want to make a game

There have been three tyrant-like characters in the gaming industry. Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi was the toughest and most unabashed in his methods.

The other one is Ma Huateng, whose methods are well understood by later generations of Chinese players.

There is another person who is the president of EA. His methods are exactly the same as Ma Huateng’s. In other words, Ma Huateng learned from EA? Or are they learning from each other and improving each other?

"In the game industry, there are only two paths for future game practitioners."

Those three tyrants all aroused the disgust of everyone in the industry, and even outsiders hated their methods.

But speaking of it, his methods were even worse. In the era of the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as resistance, let alone oppression.

Because, he solved these problems from the root!

"Either be reborn in the Han Dynasty, or... be destroyed."

The understatement made Tong Zixian's hair stand on end.

He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, but no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't compare to the smiling Liu Zhiyuan back then.

"You...will cause dissatisfaction."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled indifferently.

"I'm just doing what a dictator should do. My methods are much gentler than Hiroshi Yamauchi's, aren't they? At least, I gave them the opportunity to choose."

Tong Zixian sighed secretly, how can you give people a choice? Do they have a choice?

However, only leaders like this can lead the Han Dynasty to a higher throne step by step.

"Okay, Mr. Tong, this is not something you should worry about. It is your business to make our computers more perfect. How far the Han Dynasty can go depends entirely on you."

Tong Zixian put away those messy thoughts and began to communicate with Liu Zhiyuan.

"Should there be restrictions on the system? The system we develop is for others to use. We always feel like it is a wedding dress for others. We are not a software company."

"Restrictions? Why are there restrictions? I cannot allow all computers in the world to use the Hongmeng system of our Han Dynasty."

Tong Zixian also understands the rewards brought by high share, but...

"Our system does not charge money and does not bring any income. It takes a lot of money and energy to build a mature system."

Liu Zhiyuan looked at Tong Zixian with a smile.

Although Tong Zixiangui is the founder of ASUS, he has not experienced the "free" baptism of later generations and has not yet understood a truth.

"Mr. Tong, let me tell you something, the free stuff is often the most expensive."

Tong Zixian was very interested in discussing this with Liu Zhiyuan. He was not just a technician, he was also a senior manager.

"The most fundamental purpose of free is promotion, so that as many users as possible can use our products, while squeezing peers, such as Microsoft."

Tong Zixian nodded, he understood this truth, but where does the profit come from?

"There are too many ways to make these users pay. For example, free software can only maintain their daily use. If they want to use more advanced functions, they have to pay."

This is how most free products in later generations will make money, value-added services!

However, he is more considerate of users and will not have the disgusting incident of suddenly charging half of the usage.

He knows very well how bad this thing is, so it would be better to tell the customer clearly from the beginning that you have to pay for it.

"Those ordinary users who don't spend money are actually our potential customers, and they are very precise potential customers. Let's talk about the topic of value-added services."

This is the trend, the trend of the development of the Internet. Liu Zhiyuan, even with his great ability, cannot change this trend.

Attract users through free services, then launch value-added services, and then convert some free users into paid users, thereby achieving revenue growth. This is the trajectory of the wheel of history. He has no ability to change it, nor does he want to change it.

"So, the wider the popularity of our products, the more users are likely to spend money. The real profit source of Hongmeng system is not individual users, but enterprises."

This is actually Microsoft's strategic thinking. Whether it is the Windows Enterprise version or the Office paid version, it has been proven that this is the most successful path for software vendors.

There is no reason for him to leave the road that is destined to succeed and just open up wasteland leisurely. This is what a lunatic does.

Although he, Liu Zhiyuan, is scolded as a lunatic every day, he himself knows that he is not a lunatic.

“Individual users’ profits come from the peripheral aspects of the software, such as advertising, traffic, and influence!”

The Han Dynasty has never been a company that puts profit first. As long as Liu Zhiyuan is around, the Han Dynasty will never become such a company.

What he wants is influence! What he wants is the influence of the Han Dynasty in the world!

As a Chinese high-tech electronics company with pure pedigree, the influence of the Han Dynasty means that China is influential in this field!

It is impossible for him to let the saying that China has no core appear again in this time and space! China will not only have a core, but also have the strongest core!

"This is the trend of network development, the general trend! Only by following the trend can you achieve great results. Do you believe that sooner or later, Microsoft will make their core software free of charge?"

Tong Zixian didn't quite believe it, but Liu Zhiyuan had seen this day with his own eyes, and China's piracy was one of them. The results also proved that Microsoft was successful.

In China, the Windows system is like a serious grandfather, and everyone is a grandson! The customized versions of the system by major enterprises have made Microsoft a lot of money.

Moreover, in 2015, Microsoft's new president directly implemented a free licensing agreement for Windows systems for devices under 9 inches.

Are you stupid? How can someone who can reach the position of president of Microsoft be a fool? That’s because they have seen the general trend! They have seen the general trend of the Internet in the future!

Liu Zhiyuan's explanation made Tong Zixian suddenly enlightened. He looked at Liu Zhiyuan as if he were a monster.

"I really don't know how long your brain is. You seem to have an inexhaustible supply of all kinds of fantastic ideas. Alas."

Liu Zhiyuan laughed.

"Mr. Tong, don't praise me. I'm just taking advantage of the times."

"..."

The two talked for a while about the development direction of the Internet, and then each went about his or her own business.

...

A week later, in the large reception room of the Han Dynasty's Shanghai headquarters, all major media outlets around the world sent their top reporters.

Not one of Han Dynasty’s global press conferences was small news.

“Friends from all walks of life are welcome to travel thousands of miles to attend the Han Dynasty global press conference.”

Liu Zhiyuan went straight to the point at the beginning. The protagonist of this press conference was not the Han Dynasty, but the third parties who were about to join the Han Dynasty.

"The content of this press conference is very simple. It is to introduce the future partners of Han Dynasty. I would like to invite Mr. Yasuhiro Fukushima, the president of Enix, to take the stage."

"Click..."

"Kacha..."

"Click..."

As soon as Yasuhiro Fukushima took the stage, the venue flashed loudly. Those reporters actually understood the meaning of this meeting, which was that Liu Zhiyuan was going to show the "force" of the Han Dynasty to the outside world!

"Welcome Konami's president, Mr. Hideki Okamura."

"Welcome Mr. Guillermo, President of Ubisoft France."

"Welcome...Sega's president, Mr. Hideki Sato."
