Chapter 1441: Shooting Oneself in the Foot

paralysis! paralysis! paralysis!

Major game forums around the world have been paralyzed one after another. Because of the enthusiasm from Chinese players, the servers of major game forums around the world have crashed one after another. (Read novel) For a moment, the global Internet community thought that a global hacker war had broken out. You know, the huge data flow that caused the collapse of the world's famous game forums all came from China. Not long ago, due to the China-US plane collision incident, a "China-US hacker war" just broke out. Could it be that this time because the "Second World" game has been collectively criticized by major game magazines around the world, the hacker world will once again break out? World war?

Suddenly, hackers around the world swarmed and began to search for anomalies on the network through various software, looking for "battlefields." For hackers like them, life is very lonely and boring. Only on the Internet can they find their own value. Although they are hackers, it does not mean that they can attack any website at will. This is illegal and most hackers would disdain it. Therefore, this time, faced with the collapse of so many game forums, their "battlefield" has come, and their moment has arrived.

However, what makes Western hackers extremely frustrated is that after assisting the administrators of major game forums to restore the operation of the website, they discovered that this was not a hacker attack. It was clearly that the bandwidth of major game forums was limited and the traffic was too large. They were temporarily blocked. It's just overcrowded. After all, no hacker would take such an idiotic approach - posting a large number of posts (with different contents) to compromise a website. Although this method has the highest degree of camouflage, it is probably also the most stupid method that consumes the most manpower and material resources.

False alarm! For the administrators of major well-known game forums, they are most afraid of hacker wars, so that their small and well-known websites will often encounter some unreasonable disasters. However, after the restoration, the administrators of major game forums were stunned. Because at this time, all the forums were filled with posts from players from China.

However, what makes Lin Feng embarrassed is that originally Lin Feng wanted to use the enthusiasm of domestic players for games to influence European and American players and let them enter the "second world" game world, and gradually become loyal players of the "second world". However, although the enthusiasm of domestic players is unprecedentedly high and they are extremely angry at the criticism of the "Second World" by foreign magazines and media, their anger has not been fully realized. Instead, it is transformed into a variety of language that is enough to curse people to death.

Stupid, **, stupid, and other insulting language. Although it was cool to curse people with these remarks, this was not what Lin Feng wanted. This kind of insulting language, no matter how angry it is, cannot actually help the "second world" solve the current international credibility crisis. On the contrary, it is easy to be caught.

really! When domestic players bombarded major global forums, including magazine websites, with a large number of abusive posts, game magazines from various countries also responded immediately.

"As to whether the 'Second World' will modify the difficulty of "Contra Ne" for profit, we have always just speculated or speculated, but after the massive abusive posts from Chinese players last night,

We can clearly understand one thing, and that is the low quality of Chinese players, which is unparalleled in the world. And we wonder if this ‘insult scandal’ was planned by the ‘Second World’ behind it? But here, God can tell Lin Feng responsibly that if you want to rely on insults, you will not be able to achieve your goal! "Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported the "Insult-gate" incident on its front page that day.

All of a sudden, major media outlets around the world rushed to report on this incident. After all, this matter involves the hottest "second world" in the IT world, and its chairman Lin Feng is even more of a topical figure. In the eyes of the outside media, if this incident was planned by Lin Feng, it would be interesting and they would have something to write about. And we must kill Lin Feng!

"Boss, it seems we have shot ourselves in the foot this time!" Wu Zhaopu said gloomily.

Originally, this time I wanted to use the players' "mouth" to change the external comments. I never thought that the players were a little too excited. What they said was not their enthusiasm for the game or their trust in the "second world", but directly scolded them. European and American players are ignorant and curse the despicable behavior of Western game magazines. In the end, it is the "second world" that suffers. Now not only has the reputation of domestic players become worse internationally, but the "Second World" has also suffered. It was accused of planning this "Insult Gate", and its stock price has dropped several times from 182 US dollars. The price finally closed at $175.

Lin Feng was also a little depressed. Originally, Lin Feng's idea was good, but he forgot to calculate that domestic players are very excited and can easily say some extreme things. In particular, the quality of players online varies greatly, and many people like to follow suit.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that I was wrong this time." Lin Feng said helplessly. This time I took it too much for granted, only considering the good side of the player and not the bad side of the player. The result is trouble for the company.

"In this case, prepare a press conference for me." Lin Feng ordered.

"Boss, it seems inappropriate to hold a press conference at this time. I'm afraid the media are eager to interview you now." Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.

"Yes, boss. I think we should keep silent now and ignore these rumors from the outside world. Then everything will be clear and turbid will be turbid. At most, the international sales of "Contra NE" are not good. The development cost of "Contra NE" is not high. We can earn nearly 10 million yuan per month just by relying on the domestic online rate." Chen Xiaowei also strongly disagreed with Lin Feng holding a press conference at this moment. Isn't this giving those reporters a chance to make things difficult for the company!

"Also, boss, as for "World War", the highlight of our company, we can learn from this lesson and start promoting it in advance around the world. Avoid being hurt again in public opinion!" Chen Xiaowei suggested.

All along, the game promotion of "Second World" has been through the Internet. After all, it is an online game, so it is natural to promote it on the Internet. But after suffering such a big loss this time, naturally, I will not make this mistake again. That's too stupid! Promote in advance and attract players in advance.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Of course, World War needs to be promoted, and it needs to be promoted in a big way. I want global players, no, I want the entire world to know about the game World War. But for now, the press conference still needs to be held." Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu and Chen Xiaowei looked puzzled.

"Do you think that even if we remain silent this time, those people will definitely let us go! You know, their goal is not Contra, but World War. They are afraid that World War will be too successful and that there will be no market for their future games. So, even if we remain silent, they will continue to stir up trouble, continue to attack our company's credibility, and criticize our company, and eventually turn World War into a ridiculous "China War." "Lin Feng said hatefully.

If we ignore this time, companies such as "Nintendo" and "EA" will definitely not give up and will keep holding on to this issue. When World War is publicly tested, if international players ignore World War because of the slander of these companies, I'm afraid that there will only be Chinese players in the game world of World War. That will be the most ridiculous thing. If there are only Chinese players, it will not be a "World War", but a civil war among Chinese players. If there are only Chinese players in the game, it will not only greatly reduce the fun of "World War", but also fail to recover the cost of "World War".

With an investment of 1.3 billion US dollars, even if each player invests 365 yuan per year (one yuan per day), it will take at least 10 "Second World" to recover the cost of game production if you want to earn back 1.3 billion US dollars. If you add the cost of game operation and advertising, it will be even more incredible.

Therefore, "World War" must let global players participate.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. For the sake of "World War", "Second World" cannot give in this time. Otherwise, if "World War" encounters a crisis in the future, I am afraid that the entire company will be implicated. You know, the current stock price of "Second World" is as high as 10. The reason why "Second World" maintains such a high stock price is not only the amazing profits of its games, but also the general optimism of the outside world about the prospects of "World War". Once "World War" encounters a Waterloo, coupled with the debts the company is carrying, the stock price will fall sharply, and the entire company will immediately fall into a debt crisis. At that time, unless Lin Feng personally came forward and used his personal wealth to save the company, "Second World" would fall into an unprecedented crisis.

This is by no means an exaggeration! Although the profit of the game department of "Second World" is extremely considerable, don't forget that "Second World" acquired "AMD" and "", and the amount invested by these two major hardware departments is billions of dollars each year, but the profit just broke even last year. Once the company encounters an economic crisis, "AMD" and "" will go wrong a little bit, and the company will be in trouble.

"Besides, I launched "Contra NE", which must make money. Our "Second World" products must be of high quality and their reputation must not be tarnished!" Lin Feng said with a fist.

Wu Zhaopu and Chen Xiaowei looked at each other and nodded heavily.
