Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 306 The silly son-in-law of the landlord’s family

Among these insiders, the one with the reddest eyes was Zhu Jun from Jiucheng, who almost made his children cry.

The world of martial arts is so popular, how can World of Warcraft, which is the target of plagiarism, be any worse?
No, it should be said that World of Warcraft is not allowed to take off.

Now he wishes he could send all the people below him to Japan to learn shadow cloning, so that one person can act as the commander of eight people.

But some things in the world are based on personal will and must always follow objective laws.

The establishment of servers, the deployment and construction of computer rooms, program debugging, and text translation are all huge projects for the current Ninetowns, and each one requires a lot of time.

Zhu Jun feels that since he won this World of Warcraft, it has been comparable. He feels that Jiucheng is now like a man with a weak body who married a divorced young woman who is in her prime.

Sure enough, despite Zhu Jun's attitude of trying to catch every advantage, the community only retained the most basic technologies for maintenance, and even the "Sword of Excellence Online", which was operating only half well, had its bones and marrow sucked out, and it could squeeze out all the benefits!

80% of the company's human resources are invested in the construction of World of Warcraft, intending to have a nationwide battle and a battle for luck.

As a result, after a month of hard work, my dear, World of Warcraft is like a bottomless pit.

I really don’t know how Century Interactive Entertainment managed to survive this situation.

In the end, Zhu Jun was also anxious. Everyone had no choice but to throw in the money, and the money was almost spent. If he held on for a few more days, he would really lose both his people and his money.

Really having no choice, he could only ask his father-in-law for help.

Dad, your wife wants too much, and I really can’t afford it.

Don't look at Ninetowns' urgency, Blizzard is even more urgent.

Especially when the news that the number of 30 people in the internal beta of World of Warcraft reached the ears of Blizzard President Mike Mohan, he couldn't sit still. He boasted that his own World of Warcraft would not be bad either.

Subsequently, according to calculations by Blizzard's statistics department, according to this trend, after the public beta of World of Warcraft, it is not a dream for China to have millions of players online within one year.

Ten million US dollars a month, 1 million US dollars a year in revenue, this is just a conservative estimate. If this is true, his eyes will not only light up when he is caught up in the fantasy of the future, but he will even start to get angry.

You must know that the total research and development cost of World of Warcraft was only million, and it was only paid back in one place in China, and the rest was all earned through blood.

Time is money, my friend.

Blizzard first transferred the troublemaker Dwight Chen, whose previous ideas were clearly biased towards Century Interactive Entertainment, from the World of Warcraft project team, and directly returned to his old place, the Diablo Department, and asked him to be responsible for tinkering with the work of Diablo 3 to use the remaining heat.

Then I heard Jiucheng shouting for support, and I felt dizzy.

Damn it, my ex-son-in-law didn't say a word back then, he just kept doing it with such intensity, frequency, and resistance. Within half a year, there was some movement.

You have been complaining for three days every day for a month, you have backache, leg cramps, etc. How can you do this?

But there is no way, I know my daughter's situation well, if I pick and choose, she will become a widow.

The former son-in-law is in good health, but he has a problem with his brain. Now, although his body and bones are not living up to expectations, he is still obedient, even if he is told to bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, woof, bark, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

Doesn’t the son-in-law have no money?Small thing, provide you with a loan.

Doesn’t the son-in-law have no room?No problem, you pay the down payment, I’ll put my name on the house, and I’ll pay for the luxurious decoration and appliances.

Isn’t my son-in-law weak?Hold on, Dad, here is a Shiquan Dabu Pill that I used back then and had great results.

Since you call me dad, why wouldn't dad care about you?

Of course, after you get married and make money, remember to give the rest to your dad except for your monthly pocket money.In this way, Blizzard changed its attitude from Century Interactive Entertainment.With the approval of Mike Mohan,

Directly dispatch a luxurious technical support team of nearly a hundred people to Ninetowns to assist.
At the same time, he waved his hand and lent Ninetowns a loan of US$5 million, which he could spend as much money as he wanted.

However, 1500 million of them are used as advance payment for game servers, and 500 million are used as various expenses for the technical team.

Zhu Jun was dumbfounded. Well, 5 million yuan was even sold with in-app purchases, but almost half of it was missing when he got it.

But at least he saw the hope of the open beta of World of Warcraft, and wanted to quickly make revenue. After making money, the first thing he did was to find an opportunity to kick the other party off.

Ninetowns began to rent ready-made computer rooms everywhere, set up servers, and cooperated with Blizzard's technical support team to debug game codes.

Half a month later, he discovered that there were two problems in front of him, which became stumbling blocks on the road ahead.

The first problem is the huge workload of translation.

The skill descriptions, interface and career information are okay, but the main thing is the task descriptions and the vast and endless plot. It can't be blocked even if you pull or block your trouser pockets. It's really killing me.

The workload of several million words is not impossible but too time-consuming.In order to catch up with the progress, Ninetowns not only hired a few in-house translators, but also temporarily hired a bunch of external translators. As a result, the pace was high-pressure, and within a short period of time, there were more people running than the number of words translated.
It won't work if it goes on like this. Zhu Jun suddenly had an idea and suddenly thought that his ex-husband's brother didn't have any ready-made ones. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he sold it to his younger brother at a cheaper price.

Thinking of this, I quickly found Chen Hao's contact information and called him.

"Hello, are you there?"

"Not here!"

Beep beep.
what's the situation?Zhu Jun was a little confused, but then he realized that the other party didn't know who he was?
Hit again.

"Hey, it's not my ex-husband, Mr. Chen. I'm Zhu Jun from Jiucheng. That little brother has an unkind request. I don't know whether to tell it or not."

"Oh, please, no need to talk about it."

Beep beep.
Zhu Jun looked confused, no, why don't you play your cards according to the routine? You shouldn't just talk about it, then I said, listen, and finally reluctantly agreed, "How are you, how are I, everyone?"

Hey, he doesn’t believe in evil anymore and continues to fight,

"Mr. Chen, I want the text you previously translated from World of Warcraft."

"Oh, you told me earlier. I thought you wanted to return World of Warcraft to me. I was shocked."

"Do you think you could make a price?"

"One hundred million!"

Zhu Jun almost spat out his blood. I paid 1 million for representing World of Warcraft. You just translated some manuscripts and asked for million for opening your mouth. Where is your face?
"I sincerely want to buy that, Mr. Chen, can you make it cheaper?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask how much is left."

? ? ?How much of this stuff is left?
After half a call, Zhu Jun looked ferocious after hearing the reply on the phone. He hung up the phone angrily and smashed the phone against the sofa in anger.
The other person's words that made people's blood pressure soar were still echoing in their ears, "I just asked the cleaning lady and she said that the translation paper in the company toilet was almost used up. I criticized her seriously and rescued some, but there was not much left. One-tenth, so I don’t need million, just give it away for free.”

Chen Hao, you bully me too much. You robbed me of Miracle before, and now you rob me of World of Warcraft and humiliate me.

Zhu Jun, a man in his forties, felt a little aggrieved the more he thought about it.

He just wanted to do business and make some money so that he could satisfy his dream of buying a team and playing football since he was a child.
What's wrong with him? Who did he offend?
