Northern China, Liao Ning Province, Huludao.
“Has Gao Nian already fallen?”
Yang Zhi, a die-hard fan of Geek Technology and known as "Huludao Nicky Wu," looked at a series of negative news reports, and his worship and trust in Gao Nian couldn't help but waver.
Because the media analysis was too reasonable, based on the current and even the next 15 years of computer performance.
To run a game engine with a minimum of over 100 million polygons, and up to several billion polygons.
The computer performance within 15 years simply couldn't do it. To achieve this, only the performance of a supercomputer would suffice.
So, Geek Technology spent 500 million US dollars, billion Chinese yuan, to frantically acquire a large number of high-definition 3D models, and then spent a lot of money to develop a super game engine and super games.
The ultimate reason is actually for the personal enjoyment of Gao Nian or his family and friends!
Spending a total of possibly over a billion US dollars, but the result is for personal enjoyment. On the surface, this doesn't seem to be a problem.
After all, people earn money to enjoy it. They can't possibly earn money and have to save it forever without spending it, or earn money and give it away for free. This doesn't make sense.
So, it's their freedom to spend the money they earn however they want. They have the right and freedom to do so, and outsiders shouldn't say much.
But the world is dynamic. It's normal to spend money on personal enjoyment, but for people who are not very wealthy, their views are different.
After all, some people have so much money they don't know what to do with it, and even burn it directly.
While you're breaking your legs for a few pieces of silver, and enduring all the hardships in the world, how can your heart be balanced?!
So, after seeing such news, they will naturally harbor resentment and dissatisfaction towards Gao Nian, extremely hating the rich.
Among them, many fans who support Geek Technology, support Gao Nian, and even regard Gao Nian as their life idol, feel even more uncomfortable.
Because before this, Gao Nian's external image has always been that of a patriotic entrepreneur, an image of a patriotic genius inventor.
In this image, Geek Technology and even Gao Nian's actions have been deeply tied to the two labels of 'patriotism' and 'breaking the foreign technology blockade'.
But now, they hear that Gao Nian, for his own selfish desires, has taken out 500 million US dollars, which is billion Chinese yuan, to acquire a large number of high-definition 3D models.
At the same time, he will spend even more money to develop a super game engine and super games, with the purpose of personal enjoyment.
Instead of using this money to develop core technologies and break the foreign blockade, how can this not make the fans who support Geek Technology and Gao Nian feel uncomfortable?
“Gao Nian, have you fallen?”
Yang Zhi said with some sadness in his heart, his expression full of disappointment.
At this time, he desperately hoped that Gao Nian could stand up and explain, instead of saying nothing and doing nothing.
At the same time, countless fans of Geek Technology and Gao Nian felt as confused as Yang Zhi, and eagerly wanted Gao Nian to stand up and explain.
It can be said that their concern for this matter far exceeded any previous time.
Because they are facing a situation of belief collapse!
In response, the relevant situation naturally reached Gao Nian's ears, forcing Gao Nian to suspend the development of the Geek game engine and decide to take the time to explain.
So, in order to achieve the best effect, Gao Nian appeared on the "Focus Interview" program, preparing for a "Focus Interview" live broadcast.
Of course, because Gao Nian's time was limited, the location for this program's filming was not in Beijing, but at the headquarters of Geek Technology.
Anyway, as long as the signal can be transmitted back to the "Focus Interview" program team, the requirements for the venue and site layout are not very strict.
April 3, 2010, 19:38 in the evening, the famous "Focus Interview" program officially began!
“Good evening, audience friends, welcome to "Focus Interview". I am the host Bai Yansong, and today our topic is the Geek Game Engine—”
At the beginning of the program, Bai Yansong, one of China's most famous hosts, began his usual opening remarks.
Subsequently, he cooperated with graphic videos to introduce a series of events triggered by 3D models and the Geek Game Engine.
It took 4 minutes to let people know the course of the matter through graphic videos and narration, and understand the theme of this TV program interview.
During this period, countless ordinary viewers, including domestic and foreign business tycoons, were also quite interested in this live TV program.
So, they all watched this live TV program.
This also led to the number of TV viewers exceeding 5 million, and the number of domestic and foreign netizens in the Internet live broadcast room exceeding 10 million!
“Mr. Gao Nian, may I ask if you spent 500 million US dollars, which is billion Chinese yuan, to massively acquire high-definition 3D models?
Is the purpose to create a super game engine and super games, and then use them for personal or family and friends to play freely?”
At the beginning of the topic, the host Bai Yansong asked Gao Nian the most sensitive question.
“It's not.”
Gao Nian shook his head slightly, and then said with a serious face:
“This kind of speculation is a rather ridiculous speculation, there is absolutely no evidence to prove this point, it is just an unfounded conjecture.”
After a pause, Gao Nian continued:
“The reason why we plan to spend billion Chinese yuan this year to massively acquire high-definition 3D models is indeed for the super engine, to develop super games.
However, the purpose of developing the super game engine and super games is not for the enjoyment of myself, my family, or even relatives and friends!”
“Then what is it for?”
The host Bai Yansong asked Gao Nian.
This is also a question that millions of viewers in front of the TV and tens of millions of domestic and foreign netizens in the Internet live broadcast room are curious about.
“There are many reasons, the first reason and the most important reason is for the benefit of Geek Technology itself.
Because for the Geek super game engine that is being developed, our business strategy is an open strategy,
We will not exclusively monopolize the use of the game engine.
That is to say, after the Geek super game engine is developed, any individual, studio, or company can download and use this Geek super game engine by themselves.
Among them, after using the Geek super game engine, as long as the turnover does not exceed 1 million US dollars, it is equivalent to being able to use it for free.
When the turnover exceeds 1 million US dollars, then we will have to extract a profit commission fee, after all, we have invested so much, we must recover the cost and even make a profit.
Among them, the profit commission fee varies.
For example, if the Geek super game engine is applied to game development, if the game's turnover exceeds 1 million US dollars, then we will extract 20% to 30% of the profit commission fee.
If the Geek super game engine is used for film production, then we will also extract 20% to 30% of the profit commission fee.”
Hearing Gao Nian's words, many people suddenly gasped, shocked by Geek Technology's greedy appetite.
Because just using Geek Technology's Geek super game engine, you have to be charged a 20% to 30% commission fee by Geek Technology, is this too much?
After all, Geek Technology doesn't have to do anything, but the result is that they take 20% to 30% of other people's profits, is this too much?
