Chapter 536 Price increase

"How do you know?"

Guang Yongyuan's rhetorical question directly proves that what Lin Hong said is true.

But these things can be said to be extremely confidential. Guang Yongyuan originally thought that no one in China should know this situation except himself, but he didn't think that Lin Hong would say it casually, as if it was a trivial matter.

Lin Hong smiled and just said, "I'm just guessing."

After saying that, he didn't go on.

Of course, it's not easy for him to tell Guang Yongyuan that he secretly tracked this person on the Internet for a long time out of curiosity?

Lin Hong found this person at the beginning, also out of chance. He happened to collect a very good piece of code in the information, which showed his skills. After Lin Hong saw it, he became curious, so he tracked and explored it.

Finally found this person.

According to the information he collected, this man is extremely talented and young, similar to him. Lin Hong originally had the intention to make friends.

However, it was finally found that the other party was actually a leader of a pirated organization, specializing in cracking software or games for profit.

In the end, Lin Hong still gave up his intention to contact the other party.

This time, when he heard Guang Yongyuan talk about GAMEZ88, he thought of that person. It seemed that there were overlaps in many aspects, so he casually asked, but he didn't expect it to be him.

Although Guang Yongyuan knew that he must not tell the truth in his heart, he did not continue to ask questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and he has the right to choose not to tell others. If he continues to ask questions ignorantly, he will only ask for nothing.

Guang Yongyuan said, "Let's go to the packaging group now to have a look."

Then they came to the third group in the department, the packaging group.

The packaging mentioned here is not the shell design of the software, but the game or software cracked by the cracked group is compressed and packaged.

"In the cracking circle, packaging also has its own mature specifications, and it is not enough to just compress the cracked software directly into a package." Guang Yongyuan introduced, "It can be divided into two types: hard disk and CD-ROM."

In order to facilitate Lin Hong's understanding, Guang Yongyuan went directly to an empty computer, turned on the closed monitor, and then demonstrated it for him in person.

Guang Yongyuan first opened a hard disk version of the game called FIFA97. He continued, "See, the game is compressed separately, and the size and specification of each package are fixed."

As he said, Lin Hong saw that the maximum size of each of these compressed packages does not exceed 2.8M.

"Usually, it is best not to subcontract more than 65 for a whole compressed package." Guang Yongyuan continued.

"Why did you do this?" Lin Hong really didn't pay attention to this situation. It is difficult to expect the specific size of each compression package and how many at most there are regulations.

Guang Yongyuan shook his head: "It is mainly for users to download. If it is too large, it is very inconvenient to download. This is an experience and custom that has been handed down, just like the distance between trains and railway tracks. The industry generally believes that this is more responsible for users.

The distance between China's train railway tracks is 4.85 feet, that is 1.48 meters. This size is also the standard distance of the international standard gauge.

The gauge between American railways is also this size, because the British also have this standard, and the earliest railway in the United States was designed by the British. The British railway was designed by the people who built the tram tracks, and the distance between the tram tracks is exactly 4,85 feet.

So, where does the standard of tram tracks come from? 〖 Answer] The case originated from the distance between the two wheels of the carriage in ancient times. Why do carriages use this standard? It is to conform to the ancient British road. And these ancient rut marks were left by the chariots of ancient Rome. Why is the distance between the two wheels of the ancient Roman chariot 4.85 feet? Because the ancient Roman chariots were made of two horses, and the buttocks of the two horses were exactly 4.85 feet wide.

It can be seen that this idea of "forward compatibility" has been there since ancient times.

In the field of computer software and hardware, this idea is more thoroughly implemented. Unless it is a last resort, no one dares to break this law casually.

Apple launched the LISA model with high expectations after the APPEII and III models, but this model violated the idea of "previous compatibility" in many aspects. The changes were very large, and many previous programs were not supported, resulting in many Apple users switching to IB. The embrace of M-compatible machines.

Countless people have used their own tragic ending to prove that breaking this rule will pay a great price.

Next, Guang Yongyuan continued to introduce the compression standard of the CD version to Lin Hong.

There is no such limit for the CD version, but usually, the compressed subcontract is usually 159 megabytes. The specific general rule of compression is that an ISO package contains a ZIP package, and the multimedia files contained in the ZIIP package are then compressed with ACE. This ensures a compression rate of 1:12, which is convenient for online dissemination.

Although Guang Yongyuan and others did not put it on the Internet, but burned it directly, this standard was meticulously implemented. As he said, no rules is not a circle, and rules are easy to manage.

Finally, there is the production group. They have a special CD-ROM printing workshop, which can produce the latest cracked products in the first time, and then fully sell the goods.

Needless to say, Xiang G itself is a pirated paradise, most of which go directly to the whole mainland through Guang Z, followed by some exports, which are sold to Southeast Asia, Africa and other non-developed countries.

According to Guang Yongyuan, in Xiang G, many gangs have their own pirated companies, which is just the difference between large scale and small scale, and the type they do. For example, their piracy of 14K mainly focuses on the field of sex/photo film. Not only do they buy genuine film sources from Europe, the United States, [Japan] and other countries for piracy, but they also have their own film entertainment companies, and they also shoot by themselves.

Of course, in terms of professionalism and technical content, of course, their latecomers of Jiulongtang caught up. At present, the revenue brought by Jiulongtang's piracy business accounts for a large proportion of Jiulongtang, which is a source of funds that cannot be ignored.

After listening to Guang Yongyuan's detailed introduction, Lin Hong really saw a complete pirated industrial chain.

I have to say that this is indeed a profitable transaction. The cost is extremely low, and there is almost no development cost. The products developed by others with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are directly cracked and copied, and then sold very cheaply.

Lin Hong came to visit out of curiosity and interest, which did not mean that he encouraged this kind of behavior.

Many hackers crack these software, originally only out of interest or maintenance of the spirit of hackers, but if you copy a lot of these things and get benefits, it seems a little unlucky.

Lin Hong is not a German pioneer. He will not ask others to do it, but at least he will not do this step himself.

Of course, Jiulongtang, as a gang/gang organization, does not do drug trafficking, forcing people to do things such as forgery, but forgery. Relatively speaking, it is already quite virtuous, and you can't ask too much of them. Everyone has their own way of living, and there will always be someone who will benefit and someone who will be hurt.

Lin Hong and Guang Yongyuan had just finished visiting all the departments, and A Lang, the patriarch of the cracking group, found Guang Yongyuan.

"Manager, there is something I want to report to you." A Lang said in a half-baked Mandarin.

He is a native of Xiang G, but Guang Yongyuan is a mainlander and is used to speaking Mandarin, so they follow him when they report the situation to Guang Yongyuan.

Guang Yongyuan said directly, "What's the matter? Say it directly. Mr. Lin is one of his own people. It doesn't matter.

A Lang said, "There is something wrong with the cracking in the United States. Originally, there was a batch to be handed in today, but now it has been delayed for several hours."

Guang Yongyuan was stunned: "What is the specific situation? Why didn't they deliver the goods on time?

He naturally knows that the "over there" in A Lang's mouth naturally refers to the GAMEZ88 cracking group.

"It is said that early this morning, the U.S. [police] raided one of their offices and arrested two core members. They are likely to face infringement lawsuits. They said that they were arrested for helping us crack it and asked us to bear the losses. They asked for a 50% increase at the original price.

Guang Yongyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. He thought about it and finally said, "Their people have been arrested and let us bear certain responsibilities. I have no problem with this. But this cannot be regarded as an interface for his price increase, which is a matter of principle. Tell them that we don't have to cooperate with them. If we don't do it, we can find someone else or even do it ourselves!"

Their company has developed so far, and it is no longer as weak as it was at the beginning. Guang Yongyuan already has such confidence.

Originally, in order to persist in cooperation, they took the initiative to raise the price with the other party a few days ago. The price given to them was already quite high, but they did not expect that the other party thought they were very generous. Now if something happened, they would directly increase the price by 50%.

A Lang said helplessly, "I also said this to them, but the other party said that this game, except for them, may only be cracked by CORE at present. Unless we can find CORE to cooperate, this batch of goods cannot be shipped at all."

Now the competition in the cracking industry is also quite fierce. If they can't issue it at the first time, they may be preempted by other companies, and their previous investment and preparation will be in vain. In addition, if you can't deliver the goods on time, other sales channels may think that your strength is no longer good, and they will throw yourself into the arms of others. ( To be continued
