Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh
Chapter 287: The method of stimulating generals
Lin Feng's expression changed several times. He had never encountered anything like this before. This Mark was really a bit arrogant and domineering.
"Mr. Mark, do you really not think about it anymore?" Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Mr. Lin, unless Gaibo comes, I will never sell the "Unreal Engine 2" engine to your company." Mark said with a smile that made people want to slap him.
"Then I hope Mr. Mark won't regret it!" Lin Feng turned and left with a cold face.
Mark watched proudly as Lin Feng left angrily. The reason why he was so determined this time, and even did not hesitate to offend Lin Feng, was to vent his anger. Gable's arrogant remarks back then still echoed in his mind. It was not easy this time.
How could Mark let go of the opportunity? Secondly, Mark also wanted to suppress "valve". At the beginning, "valve" relied on the engine of "Quake 2" to produce masterpieces such as "Half-Life" in one fell swoop, which caused a sensation in the industry.
.
But then, Gable abandoned the engine of "Quake 2", relied on the engine foundation of "Quake 2", independently developed the "havok engine", and even produced masterpieces such as "Counter-Strike", which made Mark
The others were shocked. This time Lin Feng came to purchase the "Unreal Engine 2" engine technology license, not just because he wanted to use the "Unreal Engine 2" engine. Mark guessed that Gable wanted to combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to create a new brand of his own.
3d engine.
Now Epic's only reliance is the "Unreal 2" engine and the "Unreal 3" under development. Mark will never allow the arrogant Gable to launch a better 3D engine before him, otherwise his "Unreal 3"
There will be no market.
And unlike other companies that purchase the "Unreal Engine 2" engine, other companies purchase the right to use it and do not expend energy on research and development. After all, buying the technical use rights of the "Unreal Engine 2" engine is not expensive. Generally, it is 400,000-1 million.
The US dollar licensing fee, plus about 10% of the royalties (game sales profits), but Gable is different from these companies. They all use it for research after purchase, then learn from each other's strengths, and then independently develop new 3D engines. This is actually
Too scary.
Mark is afraid that Gable and his working team will convert the technology of the "Unreal Engine 2" engine into his own technology. Mark does not want his "Unreal Engine 2" engine to become tomorrow's "Quake 2" and be used by Gable.
Just abandon it, and then trample it under your feet.
Therefore, Mark did not hesitate to treat Lin Feng with such a arrogant attitude. As for Mark saying that he would sell it to Gable in person, that was just deception. Mark didn't believe that an arrogant person like Gable would come to ask for help. Everyone did.
Top programmers have a "proud heart" and no one is willing to bow to their opponents. What's more, even if Gable really comes, Mark will humiliate him and then tell Gable that "Unreal 2" will never be sold.
Give it to him.
After Lin Feng left Epic Company, he was very angry. He secretly blamed Gable for being so arrogant that he was now wiping his ass. Thinking of Mark's arrogant face, Lin Feng wanted to go up and slap him hard. Of course, this was not the case.
I could only think in my heart that if I whipped him, I was afraid that the U.S. government would immediately arrest me in retaliation for the embarrassment of crashing the Statue of Liberty last month and causing the White House to be accidentally bombed.
Feeling very angry, Lin Feng found a random bar and sat down. After two cups of "Bloody Mary", Lin Feng took a long breath and calmed down.
After ordering another "Bloody Mary", Lin Feng called Gable and told the story.
"Gabo, what do you think we should do now? I can't bear to be angry for you." Lin Feng said in a calm tone.
Gable was silent for a while. He originally thought that Mark would make things difficult, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng, as the youngest richest man in mainland China, would also appear on the cover of Time magazine and be named the future leader of China's economy and go to New York in person.
Mark was still so disrespectful, and instead became even worse.
"Boss, "Half-Life 2" can be developed without the "Unreal Engine 2" engine. However, in terms of environment, lighting, shadows, and texture technology processing, I have to admit that the "Unreal Engine 2" engine is better than mine, oh,
No, the company's 'havok engine' is more advanced than ever. If we want to reach the sales volume of "Half-Life" or even exceed the sales volume of "Half-Life", we must purchase the technical rights to use the "Unreal Engine 2" engine." Gable sighed helplessly.
He knew he was arrogant at the time, but thinking about Mark, he was not the same at the time. Everyone was just laughing at the same thing, but now Mark's "Unreal 2" engine is indeed the best engine in the industry.
"What should we do?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.
"Boss..., I'd better come to New York in person and talk to Mark in person." Now if "Half-Life 2" wants to break through the performance of "Half-Life", it must use the "Unreal 2" engine to stand on the company's side.
Gable could only look down on his position.
Lin Feng nodded, feeling relieved that Gable could finally put up with Mark's difficulties for the benefit of the company, but Lin Feng didn't make this call just to make Gable bow to Mark.
"Gabriel, no need, I guess even if you go, Mark may not sell it. I called you to tell you this, just hope you know that there are people waiting to see you now, no, they are waiting to see our company's jokes.
If you still have some dignity and pride as a top programmer, develop "Half-Life 2" for me to be better and make it a better-selling game masterpiece than "Half-Life"." Lin Feng
Encouragement said. In this phone call, Lin Feng used a "provoking method" to make Gable sink his boat.
"Thank you, boss, I understand!" Gable nodded heavily.
After hearing this, Lin Feng nodded secretly. If Gaibo was really asked to ask for Mark, Lin Feng was afraid that Gaibo, a top programmer, would eventually lose his pride and become an ordinary good programmer. For a 3D engine, he would lose his life.
Talent is really not worth it.
"By the way, and you have to know that for players, no matter how gorgeous the game is, if the configuration requirements are high, it will only be greedy for players. Since there is no better 3D engine now, it is better to optimize it.
Work harder and strive to enable mainstream computer configurations to play games smoothly and refreshingly." Lin Feng expressed some of his ideas about 3D engines. Lin Feng suffered a lot from the inability to play games on good gaming computers. Most of the games were released.
, the picture is very gorgeous, but mainstream configurations cannot run smoothly, and no matter how gorgeous the picture is, it means nothing.
After Gable pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Haha, boss, I understand. Haha, it seems that I am a bit over the top and want to pursue more gorgeous and more gorgeous graphics. The 'havok engine' is famous for its smooth action graphics. I will build on this.
Optimize the 'havok engine'." Gable regained his confidence and said with a smile.
Lin Feng is finally relieved. With this "stimulating general", Lin Feng believes that Gable will be able to make a breakthrough in technology. Even if it is not as good as the "Unreal Engine 2" engine for the time being, Lin Feng believes that in the future, Gable will be able to design
A more excellent 3d engine.
But when I mentioned the optimization of the 3D engine, Lin Feng thought of a company. Its 3D engine technology is definitely not the best. It is excellent at most, but its optimization is almost the best. This company is - Blizzard Entertainment
The engine of the company's "World of Warcraft". Of course, "Warcraft 3" has not yet come out, and the "World of Warcraft" that was adapted from "Warcraft 3" is even missing. However, Lin Feng believes that Blizzard Entertainment
You must already have your own 3D engine, so it might be a good idea to contact them. Even if Blizzard has not yet designed and developed a 3D engine, maybe the two companies can cooperate.
After finalizing the following itinerary, Lin Feng relaxed. As the night deepened, more and more customers entered the bar. Lin Feng looked at his watch. It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and he had no intention of bothering anymore. He just wanted to enjoy it tonight.
The night scene in the bar. Especially the lead singer hired by this bar is very good, a young punk girl with a very beautiful voice and a very beautiful melody, which makes Lin Feng enjoy it very much.
At the end of the song, while the lead singer girl was taking a break, Lin Feng ordered the bartender to hand him a glass of water. The bartender rolled his eyes at Lin Feng. This lead singer girl is the trump card of this bar, and many customers come here just for this lead singer girl.
There are usually a lot of people offering wine, but I have never seen a customer be so stingy about offering a glass of water.
Humph, you want someone to call you just for a glass of water, what a daydream! - The bartender secretly despised Lin Feng, but he handed it over anyway.
The punk-style girl who was the lead singer was slightly startled. She usually received drinks from customers, but most of them wanted her phone number. Today, this person actually gave her a glass of water. It was really strange. After thinking about it, the punk-style girl took a deep look.
Lin Feng, Lin Feng just smiled and made a thirsty gesture to let him drink water, and then drank by himself.
The lead singer girl shook her head, drank a sip of water, and continued to perform. However, she secretly observed Lin Feng during the performance and realized that Lin Feng was just drinking and listening to his own music, and did not have any contact with the Yingying Yanyan in the bar.
, even if the other party came to pester him, Lin Feng would just order the bartender to give him a glass of wine and then ignore those sexy women begging for drinks.
Interesting foreigner! - The lead singer girl secretly laughed in her heart. Most of the men who come to the bar and are willing to give drinks to sexy women are here for one-night stands, but this foreigner is different.
Any relationship is really interesting!
In the bar, those women who had no money but wanted to drink, realized that Lin Feng was so easy to talk to, so they simply sat next to Lin Feng, rubbed their sexy and mature bodies against Lin Feng, and used their own methods to beg Lin Feng for a drink.
Lin Feng was helpless. Just now, these women came to him to beg for a drink. Lin Feng didn't lack the money for a few drinks anyway. Seeing that these beauties were quite pretty, at least in terms of figure, they all made people squirt.
Lin Feng readily asked the bartender to bring him drinks.
However, I never thought that this would bring big trouble to myself. Seeing that these women could easily drink alcohol without paying any price, they stayed by Lin Feng's side and refused to leave. They said "darling" every time and "honey" every time.
Asked Lin Feng for free drinks.
Lin Feng didn't care. As a man, it's normal to relax occasionally. He just drinks and doesn't do anything. Being with a beautiful woman is always a pleasant thing. However, Lin Feng feels wonderful, but some people don't like it.
Originally, women who want to drink but have no money are also a part of the bar scene, allowing rich but boring men to pass the time. If a man and a woman like each other, a glass of wine can create a one-night stand. How harmonious it is.
thing.
It's good now, these women are all around Lin Feng. Anyway, they have wine to drink and they don't have to pay anything. Besides, Lin Feng is not bad to look at. It can even be considered a bit pleasing to the eye. Naturally, they are all gathered around Lin Feng, a group of warblers.
Yan surrounded Lin Feng, but the rest of the bar was "as empty as a field". Those men who originally thought of picking up girls in the bar were naturally left alone. But those who open bars are always a bit snobbish. If you want to cause trouble in the bar, you don't have to do it next time.
Coming.
However, bar drinkers don't like each other, so there are naturally rules for how to deal with it.
"Hey, Japanese boy..." Allen originally wanted to come to the bar today to "fish" for a hot girl to spend the night with. Unexpectedly, in the bar, all the beauties in the bar gathered around an oriental boy, and the way those women looked at Lin Feng,
This makes Allen very jealous. Usually he uses all kinds of methods to pick up girls, and maybe he can kiss her. Now look at Lin Feng, that's great, not to mention being surrounded by many beauties, all the beauties around him are rubbing their bodies against him, it's a lot
Self-sacrificial driving made Allen jealous.
Very jealous! Very angry!
An angry Allen came with a bottle of wine.
"No, I'm Chinese." Hearing someone call him a Japanese boy, Lin Feng's whole body felt lumpy. He glanced at Allen coldly and said.
Allen was shocked. Lin Feng's look just now gave him a feeling of impending disaster. But then he looked at Lin Feng's figure, and then looked at himself. He was a head taller than Lin Feng, and his arms were as thick as his opponent's thighs. However,
Alan was still a little scared when he thought that this Oriental was Chinese. Hearing that all Chinese people knew Kung Fu, Alan didn't want to experience the power of Chinese Kung Fu. But this was a bar, and Alan wasn't afraid of Lin Feng messing around.
After thinking about it, Allen squeezed away the beautiful women and sat next to Lin Feng. When many beautiful women saw Allen coming, they knew what Allen was going to do, so they left in the mood of watching a show and left an empty seat.
"Chinese boy, this must be your first time here. There are rules here. Newcomers must accept the drinking competition from old customers. Do you have the guts to drink tequila (tequila)? One cup per person. Whoever pours first will pay for the whole place.
!" Allen said arrogantly. Of course, the so-called rules are purely nonsense from Allen. But this bar is full of people from the community around the bar, so naturally they will not expose Allen's lies and help a foreigner.
Chapter completed!
