I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1486

#1486: Hot-blooded legend!

Although Mr. Jin, the ruler of Goryeo, strongly recommended Yang Ming and others to go to Jeju Island for vacation, Yang Ming found that there was really nothing to see in Goryeo now.

He stayed in Goryeo for nearly a week.

Among them, he visited the Lee family of Samsung Group, then the Zheng family of Hyundai Group, and some Goryeo chaebols that cooperated with the Empire Group, that is, met with partners of the Empire Group.

However, Yang Ming also noticed that some game companies began to appear in Goryeo, but these games did not have much influence now.

Even in Goryeo, the market is very ordinary.

Instead, the Empire Game represented by the Silla Group monopolized the game market in Goryeo.

This day.

Yang Ming came back from a game city in Seoul.

He suddenly thought of something.

That is, Goryeo has a very popular game in the future.

“Legend”, also known as “Legend of Hot Blood”.

The emergence of this game not only represents the rise of Goryeo games.

Even, it made Chen Tianqiao in China once the richest man in China after he represented this game.

It is conceivable how great the influence of this game is in China, and how much wealth it has brought to Chen Tianqiao and Shengda at that time.

Now Yang Ming is wondering whether the R&D team in Goryeo has developed this game?

Has it already appeared?

If the R&D team has already appeared, Yang Ming will definitely acquire the entire R&D team.

Yang Ming recalled in his mind.

For this game, it is a memory of his college days in his previous life, because it was so popular at that time, almost all the boys in the class had played it.

Historically, Actoz is a company located in Goryeo, and they developed the “Legend” series of products. The company was founded in 1996 and released a computer game called “Legend: Overlord War” in 1998. It was this game that became an outstanding representative of the “Legend” series of products.

In 2000, Chen Tianqiao accidentally discovered this game called “Legend” in Goryeo. At that time, it was not called “Hot Blood Legend”, but just “Legend”.

In 2001, Chen Tianqiao used his entire fortune of $300,000 to formally sign a one-year contract with the Korean developer Actoz, obtained the exclusive agency rights in China, and launched a massively multiplayer online role-playing game “Legend of Mir 2” at that time. There are three professions: warrior, Taoist priest, and mage.

At that time, Internet cafes were all single-player games. Once this online game was launched, it was extremely popular. In a blink of an eye, the Internet cafes were full of players playing Legend, and it was crowded at 8 o’clock every night.

Afterwards, after eight years of evolution and 24 version updates, version 1.76 was called “Re-Armour”. It was a relatively pure version with relatively low equipment confusion. Compared with the previous old version, there were more types of equipment, but it was not too complicated and monotonous. Re-armored clothes are classics in the Legend game, such as Judgment, Dragon Pattern, Bone Jade, etc. When it comes to Legend, people will think of these classic re-armored names.

The later version 1.80 was called “Hero”, which was launched after Shengda implemented free games.

It introduced a new map, Dragon City, and Dragon equipment. The flaming, thundering, and shining jewelry are more exquisite than the Red Moon series, and new weapons such as Zhentian and Xuantian are also very eye-catching. Especially the new skill Kaitianzhan gives people a sense of dominance.

And the new clothes maintain a delicate but not exaggerated style.

In September 2002, the accidental leakage of the source code triggered a chain reaction: a large number of legendary private servers emerged.

The first private server in Z country began operation on September 28 of the same year, and then more than 500 private servers were opened in just half a year. In order to cope with the competition from private servers, the official “Legend of Mir 2” had to quickly update the version to retain players.

However, Shengda Company’s poor management of the official server led to serious problems of internal and external plug-ins, and the gaming experience of many players was greatly affected.

Shengda ignored the private server problem until it was too late to realize the harm of private servers. The situation was out of control and a large number of players were lost.

Subsequently, Shengda terminated its cooperation with the developer due to a dispute, and Shengda arbitrarily added a series of paid content in subsequent version updates, causing ordinary players to suffer.

Since then, Legend of Mir has completely become a game for local tyrants, and many ordinary players have chosen to quit the game. Since then, Legend of Mir has begun to decline.

It can be said that the origin and evolution of the “Legend” game is a story full of twists and turns and changes.

From the creation of Actoz to Chen Tianqiao’s launch of “Legend of Mir” in Country Z, to the emergence of private servers and Shengda’s management problems, Legend of Mir has experienced a turbulent period.

However, due to various reasons, including private server problems and Shengda’s strategic adjustments, the game gradually lost its former glory.

Despite this, Legend of Mir has left a deep mark in the history of games and has become a classic in the memories of many players. Both the origin and the evolution show the unique charm and influence of the “Legend” game.

This game has long made Chen Tianqiao the richest man in China.

However, now that Yang Ming came to Goryeo for an inspection, he suddenly discovered that these game companies appeared in Goryeo, which reminded him of the most popular game in China in his previous life, “Legend”.

It is already 1995, but I don’t know if this company has appeared?

If it hasn’t appeared yet, then Yang Ming has to take action in advance to avoid being taken away by the Koreans.

“Sir.”

The voice of He Chaohuan came from behind.

She found that Yang Ming came to Korea. Except for secretly meeting with Park Jinhui, she didn’t know what he was thinking most of the time.

“What are you thinking about?”

“A very important thing.”

This game has made Chen Tianqiao the richest man in China.

Although this richest man in China is a bit watery in Yang Ming’s eyes, he is indeed the richest man in China.

So, for Yang Ming, this game is really important.

Yang Ming pulled He Chaohuan aside to look out the window.

He thought about the time more clearly.

Actoz Company, Chinese name, Actoz, developed and tested “Legend 1” in 1998.

In 2000, Park Guanhao, one of the founders of Actoz and the person in charge of the development of Actoz’s core product “Legend of Mir”, led the development team to “set up their own business” and established a new company Wemade.

Developed “Legend of Mir 2”, which later became popular in China.

This was a critical period for Atos to prepare for listing, and the departure of the core team would obviously have an adverse impact on the listing.

So Atos offered to invest 40% of the shares of Wemade and help Wemade sell its products, and registered the copyright of “Legend of Mir2” as jointly owned by both parties.

After the contract expires, Atos will transfer its share in “Legend of Mir2” to Wemade.

However, with the huge success of “Legend 2” in Country Z, Atos did not fulfill its promise at the time, which also laid the hidden danger for the subsequent disputes.

In November 1999, Chen Tianqiao founded Shengda Network in Shanghai and launched the leading concept of graphical network virtual community game “Network Silicon Valley” in Country Z.

The initial business direction was to be the earliest animation community in China, to establish cartoon magazines, and to purchase animation copyrights, so as to create a “Disneyland” in the Internet world.

Developed an online interactive entertainment community and launched a graphical online community “Heaven Returns to the Valley”. A few months after the project was launched, it attracted 1 million registered users and was soon spotted by China.com, which received $3 million in venture capital. After receiving the investment, the animation community never made any income and the company’s future was bleak.

In early August 2001, the company’s previous product “Millennium” had achieved great success in Country Z. It signed a formal contract with Shengda Network for $300,000 to launch a large-scale online game “Legend” (English name: The Legend of Mir2) in the mainland and Hong Kong.

Then, just now, Yang Ming thought of the rise and fall of Legend and Legend of Mir 2 in China. (End of this chapter)
