My 1999

The ban on game consoles imposed by superior authorities has forced foreign game companies to slow down their entry into China and stimulated a large amount of domestic capital to enter the game industry. The period from 1997 to 1999 was also the first peak of the development of China's game industry.

However, China's game industry had a weak foundation, lacked personnel, rampant piracy, and the impact of foreign classic games, and soon suffered losses.

The most famous one is the Blood Lion game crash.

When Beijing Xintiandi Multimedia Technology Co., Ltd. launched this game, it promoted it so loudly that all game fans were looking forward to it. However, after buying it, they discovered that it was a semi-finished product, triggering a wave of returns and severely damaging players' confidence in domestically produced games.

The game industry, which had just started to improve, began to decline.

Jinpan Company was merged into Tongfang Shares, and the game department was directly laid off.

You must know that Jinpan is one of the earliest companies in the country to engage in games. In 1994, "Condor Commando" kicked off the mainland's original game business. As a result, such a company died.

Of course it's not the only one.

Then there is the second stage two thousand years later, which is also the stage that many game fans are most familiar with.

The Internet gaming boom is here.

"King of Kings", "Network Three Kingdoms" and "Stone Age" all sold well, and the subsequent "Legend" completely detonated the Chinese game market.

Now Xu Liang just wants to seize the opportunity of the explosion of Internet games.

"It seems that Brother Tang likes to play games very much?" Xu Liang said.

"I really like it, so I also know the gap between the domestic game industry and foreign countries. It is difficult to compare in a short time, which also means that it may be five or six years, or even longer, for domestic game companies to survive.

If you want to make huge profits through games, it is difficult. "

Tang Xingmao was not optimistic about Xu Liang's game plan.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Brother Tang, games are not just a category of stand-alone games. Online games in South Korea, Japan and Wanwan are also developing well. I want to introduce them to China."

"Online game?"

"Yes." Xu Liang continued, "South Korea, Japan, Wanwan and China all belong to the East Asian cultural circle. Games that are popular in their countries must also have a market in China."

“I admit that what you said makes sense, but the mainstream of the global game market is still single-player games, and online games are only on the fringe.

Moreover, there are too few domestic Internet users and insufficient installed capacity. It will be difficult for online games to become mainstream in three or four years. Tang Xingmao affirmed.

Listening to this, Xu Liang suddenly felt a little disinterested.

He feels that talents are rare, and he wants to retain the other person. By helping himself, he is also helping the other person achieve a career.

But after some exchanges, I discovered that although this person was knowledgeable, he was too stubborn.

If you think what you think is right, it will be difficult to listen to other people's opinions.

At this moment, the barbecue ordered by Xu Liang was served.

Later, Xu Liang didn't talk about the game anymore. He asked some questions about Tang Xingmao's time studying in the United States, and then sent him back.

Looking at the retreating figure, Xu Liang sighed.

"Other protagonists shake their bodies and attract talents from all over the world to worship them. Why can't they do it with me?"

——

When Jiang Xiaoyang returned home, her mother was watching TV.

"Xiaoyang, are you back?"

"Mom, where is my dad?"

"He's in the study upstairs. Why are you looking for him?"

"Ask him something."

With that said, he put on his shoes and walked quickly upstairs.

"This child, I waited for her here all night, and she didn't even know to look for me when she came back."

After muttering something, he stared at the TV.

“The mountain has no edges and the heaven and earth are harmonious, only then can I dare to be with you.

Ziwei, I’m so sad to see you like this.

Erkang, don't be sad. Seeing you so sad makes me feel even sadder.

I know I shouldn’t make you more sad, but I really have no way to make myself not sad”…

Mother Jiang touched the corners of her eyes.

"Ziwei is so pitiful."

——

"Dong dong..."

After knocking on the door, Jiang Xiaoyang opened the door and walked in.

A middle-aged man wearing a black casual coat on the sofa looked up and looked over. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face with a Chinese character, and an air of calmness and authority about him.

"It's Xiaoyang."

"Dad, why didn't you watch TV with my mother?"

"I'm not interested in those soap operas she watches. ... Come sit here."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and sat down on the sofa next to his father.

"Aren't you having dinner with friends tonight? Why are you back so early?"

"I'll be back after eating. Why, you always expect me to come back after ten o'clock, or stay up all night?"

"I don't mind, but your mother is probably going to blow up your phone."

"Back then, my brother didn't come home at night, and my mother didn't care."

"Your brother is a boy."

"Dad, you are discriminating against women."

"Haha, you should tell your mother this. Okay, if you don't talk about this anymore, what do you want from me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about some family affairs." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"Stop pretending in front of me. Just tell me, or I'll take a shower."

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his father, Jiang Xiaoyang thought for a while.

"Dad, someone told me today that one day the country will restrict the off-campus subject training industry. I think it makes sense, but I'm not sure if it's true. I want to ask you to advise me."

"Tell me."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and recounted the conversation he had with Xu Liang in the car that night.

At the beginning, Father Jiang didn't pay much attention, but as he listened, his expression became more solemn. Later, he was completely absorbed in it, his eyes were full of thoughts, and his expression was also solemn.

Jiang Xiaoyang saw this and did not dare to disturb his father. After speaking, he waited quietly beside him.

After a long time, Father Jiang let out a long breath.

"Your friend is really awesome."

"Dad, do you mean that everything he said is true?"

"If there are no restrictions on policies, in the next ten to twenty years, the proliferation of private training will definitely come."

Compared with his daughter, Jiang's father has a much deeper research on Capital and has a broader knowledge.

Jiang Xiaoyang knew his father's ability very well. After receiving his affirmation, most of the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly.

I couldn't help but marvel immediately.

"That guy is so awesome!"

"Who is this friend of yours? Can you let me meet him? I want to talk to him about this."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyang blurted out subconsciously.

"No, you can't see him."

"Why?"

"Anyway, if it doesn't work, it won't work. As for what you said, I'll just ask him to write a document "About the Development of Private Tutoring in Subject Education" and give it to you."

After speaking, stand up.

"Dad, I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. Goodbye."

Regardless of what his father said, he turned around and walked out of the study.

Looking at his daughter's back as she walked away quickly, Father Jiang's face showed his thoughts.

"There's a story in it."
