Chapter 126 The Father of BT

When Lin Feng was discussing the agency contract with Newell, he suddenly remembered the first-person shooting online game that had been very popular in China before his rebirth - "Star Online".

This online game, which was once a hit in China, was as popular as "Legend" at the time. Unfortunately, it was eventually stopped by players who made troubles due to the domestic agency, and the service was eventually stopped, causing countless obsessed players to lament it.

.In order to make up for the regrets in their hearts, players who have the conditions and understand English have switched to the American server. All that is left can only remember the exciting night where bullets were flying and artillery fire was flying, which made countless people crazy.

"Don't be afraid of enemies who are like wolves, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs." - This is a famous saying that all players follow like an imperial edict.

Nowadays, Newell's "Counter-Strike Online" is still affected by the influence of stand-alone CS in terms of networking. The networking is not thorough enough. After Lin Feng secretly compared the two games, he expressed his suggestions.

Lin Feng proposed adding a level system to the game. Players rely on killing enemies to gain experience and upgrade their characters. The higher the level, the more weapons players can choose. However, there is no difference in strength between high-level characters and low-level characters.

, a level 1 character can also kill a top level character.

The second step is to cancel the money system, and all equipment will be supplied directly from the base. It is also proposed to launch large-scale maps in the later stage, providing armored vehicles, aircraft, and even ships for players to use to carry out all-round battles on land, sea and air - this is also borrowed from "Interstellar Online".

Regarding Lin Feng's proposal, Newell and Mihnlee's eyes lit up. These points can greatly increase the player's sense of immersion and enhance the player's enthusiasm for the game. They believe that they will contribute to the popularity of "Counter-Strike Online". However, Lin

The last point proposed by Feng was to launch a large map and provide armored vehicles and aircraft for players to use. This was something they had not thought of before, so it will probably take a lot of time to complete this point.

Regarding Newell's concerns, Lin Feng reassured him. This point can be slowly released in the future for system upgrades, but there is no need to release it now.

After some detailed communication, the two parties finally reached an agency agreement amicably.

Lin Feng won the agency rights of "Counter-Strike Online" in Asia with an agency fee of US$10 million, and Valve will enjoy 20% of the profit share of "Counter-Strike" every year.

With this contract, Lin Feng knew that he had taken a big advantage. This was an online game that was popular all over the world. Being able to get it at such a low price seemed like pie in the sky. As for the complete agency rights, Lin Feng had no idea.

I don’t want to. I previously wanted the full copyright of the other games I represented, also for the purpose of preventing piracy. However, "Counter-Strike Online" is a first-person online game, and general plug-ins are useless.

As for plug-ins such as "gun gun headshot" and "accelerated walking" that appear in stand-alone CS games, they can be easily eliminated with today's technology, so there is no need to worry too much. Therefore, Lin Feng did not ask for its complete copyright at all.

After reaching a friendly agreement, both parties relaxed. Newell also accompanied Lin Feng to visit Silicon Valley and introduced the current environment of Silicon Valley. It must be said that Silicon Valley is indeed worthy of being the center of the world's electronics industry. Cisco is gathered here.

Intel, HP, Lucent, Apple and other big companies, look at the endless flow of pedestrians on the street, don't look at all the T-shirts, T-shirts and the like, they are very simple and plain, but if you pull it casually, you may become a millionaire or multi-millionaire overnight.

Getting rich suddenly is normal here.

"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to cooperate. I hope we can have a lot of cooperation opportunities in the future." After signing the agreement, the two parties agreed on payment and other related matters, and Lin Feng prepared to return to Shanghai.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Feng smiled slightly. This time he not only got the agency rights in China, but also got the agency rights in Asia. The harvest was so rich that people were overjoyed.

Lin Feng and his party, accompanied by Newell, were about to leave. At this moment, Lin Feng inadvertently glanced at the computer that a young man was tinkering with. He was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then stopped.

"Mr. Lin, what are you...?" Newell looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

"Who is this?" Lin Feng pointed at the young man and asked.

"Oh, this is Cohen, our newly hired leader of the technology development team." Newell introduced.

Lin Feng nodded, smiled slightly at Cohen who turned around, and then stared at the computer in front of Cohen.

"Hello, what is the software you are working on now...?" Lin Feng pointed to a software window on the computer and said.

"Hello, this is a download software based on the p2p file transfer protocol that I developed when I was bored. I call it bittorrent." Cohen said nonchalantly.

Although Cohen didn't care, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. No wonder the software window looked familiar just now. It turned out to be BitTorrent, a small but extremely important software that changed the Internet world in later generations.

The downloading software that exists now, such as flashget, etc., are all downloading software based on the http transmission protocol. Although the downloading is not slow, it has considerable limitations in retransmitting files. The host needs to provide resources to download. But BT is different.

It can spread files freely. As long as you make a seed, it can be provided to all users for downloading. Moreover, it can be uploaded at multiple points, so the more people download, the faster it will be.

However, torrent software also involves an infringement issue, mainly when distributing movies. However, for Lin Feng, these problems can be solved, and even if they cannot be solved, they will not fight. What Lin Feng likes is that through this

Software, your company's name will be famous all over the world, this is the most important thing.

"Excuse me, have you finished the software?" Lin Feng asked calmly.

"Haha, it's done. This is just a downloaded software." Obviously, Cohen has not yet realized that the software he developed will change the world. But even if he did, it would be useless. He is a technical talent, not a business talent.

.In the world before Lin Feng was reborn, Cohen failed to make a fortune from BitTorrent and was still a poor technician.

"Well, do you want to sell it? I want to buy the complete copyright of it. What do you think of it for $50,000?" Lin Feng asked.

"You want to buy the copyright for it? 50,000 US dollars?" Cohen's tone was a bit high. This was his leisure work, but unexpectedly someone took notice of it and offered it 50,000 US dollars. This made him both surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Although the average annual salary in Silicon Valley has exceeded US$100,000, US$50,000 is still not a small number for him. At that moment, Cohen agreed to sell the complete copyright to Lin Feng. As for Newell, he had no objection to this.

This was software developed by his employees in their own free time, and the copyright did not belong to the company, so he naturally had no right to interfere. On the contrary, he was extremely pleased that a small program developed by his employees could be sold for $50,000.

But Newell didn't know that it was because of his negligence at this time that the copyright of bt was bought by Lin Feng. In the end, he came to ask Lin Feng for help. It must be said that life's encounters are like this, changes

Impermanent.

In order to reach an agreement and allow Cohen to complete the final optimization work, Lin Feng stayed in Silicon Valley for one more day.

The next day, Lin Feng left Silicon Valley with a CD containing BitTorrent's copyright and related development data, as well as Cohen's experience, and the signed "Counter-Strike Online" agency agreement.

But before the plane took off, Lin Feng received a phone call.

"Director Lin, it's bad, something happened to "Legend"." Wu Zhaopu's urgent voice came.

"What! What happened?" Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly.

"Sir, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your mobile phone." The flight attendant reminded kindly.

"But I..." Lin Feng wanted to say that his company was at a critical juncture, but he also knew in his heart that if he made a phone call before the plane took off, the lives of everyone on the plane would be in danger. In desperation, Lin Feng hurriedly and

After Wu Zhaopu told him to handle it as appropriate, he turned off his cell phone.
