    With black smoke billowing, a train dragging flat containers slowly drove into Shenzhen Station and stopped at the designated freight platform, waiting to be unloaded.  On the platform, the loading and unloading driver drove the crane to the rear, found a container with "Taiyu Technology" painted on the surface on the flatbed, hoisted it, and placed it on the back of the following train.  As they were going through this series of processes, dozens of local residents who seemed to be wandering around the train station confirmed that this was a container belonging to Taiyu Technology, and immediately ran away, stumbling over each other as they ran, trying to stop others.  to the back.  A group of people rushed to the nearest public phone at a speed of 100 meters, fighting each other for the phone. The group of people looked like they were fighting.  A tall man, whose clothes were torn and the corner of his mouth was bleeding, finally relied on his physical strength to grab the phone first, and then while blocking the grabbing hand behind with his elbow, he skillfully took out a one-yuan RMB note.  , nodded and knelt down and handed it to the salesperson in a flattering manner: "Sister, I want to make a long-distance call. Here is one dollar, no need to change it!" Then he endured the black punch from an unknown person behind him, raised his body, protected the phone and spoke in a hurry.  He quickly said to the operator: "Hello, please, I want to make a long distance call to Hong Kong, the number is 00852-2997616, yes, sorry for your trouble, no, it is 2997616, yes, thank you!" came from the microphone  The operator muttered dissatisfiedly, and then heard her trying to call an international line. Then, she heard a bang, as if the operator put the phone aside, and then there was the sound of peeling melon seeds, and she and her colleagues  The sound of joking and joking.  "Oh, it's money when you pick up the phone. I don't care whether the call is connected or not. I will cut off the line when the time is up!" The salesperson guarding the phone lazily finished dealing with a customer and glanced here.  , took out the melon seeds and slowly cracked them, warning.  Generally speaking, telephones are still new. There are fewer calls that can make long-distance calls, and there are very few calls that can make overseas calls.  If it weren't for the sales staff of some state-owned manufacturers at the railway station who need to contact foreign customers, it would be impossible to open international long-distance services.  Except for this state-owned store, there is no other public phone within a few kilometers nearby that can make international long distance calls.  "Yes, yes!" The tall man was anxious and angry, but did not dare to rush the operator. Under the eager gaze of the salesperson, he once again took out a five-yuan note and handed it over reluctantly, with a smile on his face: "Sister  , we have to wait here, you take it first, if it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll make up for it.¡± After a while, he took out another five-dollar bill and handed it out again.  Then there was another five-dollar bill After about fifteen or six minutes of waiting anxiously, the operator's voice came from the other end of the phone: "The line is free, Xiao Li, you want to transfer to Hong Kong, right?"  Take line 9! " "I know, manual wiring is too troublesome!" The operator named Xiao Li complained, and then the tall man finally heard the long beep from the phone that the line was connected, which made him excited.  Thank God, there was no phone call over there!  Did he know that the operator didn't care whether the caller was in a hurry or not? If she tried to connect and found that the caller was on the phone and the line was busy, she would not wait patiently for the other party to finish the call before connecting again, but would hang up immediately.  , and then give the line to other operators who need it.  Only the devil knows when the next free time will occur.  Maybe it¡¯s immediately, maybe it takes a few hours, it¡¯s not surprising even if the line is busy all day long.  It's a waste of time and for Chinese people in this era, making a phone call is more tiring than fighting!  But even so, it is much more convenient to talk to people dozens or hundreds of kilometers away on the phone than to go directly and tell them in person.  It is difficult to travel abroad in this era. If you want to contact overseas users, the only way is to rely on phone calls.  "Hey, who are you?" The tall man got his wish and waited for the familiar Cantonese voice on the other side of the phone. He was so excited that he almost shed tears. He quickly said in a trembling voice, "Boss Zhou, I am A Feng from Shenzhen.  Didn't you say that once the Taiyu Technology goods arrive, you will be notified immediately? Yes, yes, it's here. A whole container was just loaded half an hour ago. The truck has already set off. It should arrive today.  ! Yes, it¡¯s nothing. This is what I should do Oh, boss Zhou, don¡¯t hang up. I spent eighteen yuan on this call Ah, hahaha, okay, okay, no problem, I¡¯ll do it right now.  Go over there!" For these few words, he waited here for more than twenty minutes.  But compared to other colleagues, he is quite lucky.  The tall man put down the phone with satisfaction, proudly brushed his hair that fell to his forehead, straightened out his torn clothes, and glanced at his colleagues who were fighting for the phone again.Okay, Shi Shiran squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the station hotel where Boss Li told him where to get the money.  After walking a few steps, I heard a colleague behind me who had won the battle, using a flattering voice to report his phone number to the operator: "Excuse me, please connect me to Hong Kong Long Distance, ah, who the hell is calling me?"  , I can¡¯t kill you, ah, no, I¡¯m not scolding you, oh, that phone call just now was made by another person, I¡¯m, yes, I know, you work very hard, there¡¯s nothing I can do about it  Okay, please, please help me get through the phone, this is a matter of human life, thank you, thank you, thank you so muchAh, fuck, who is pulling my ears"? At this time, in  On the third floor of an industrial building in Kowloon, Hong Kong, in the business office marked with the Hongsheng Electronics nameplate, a salesperson excitedly opened the door, rushed to the manager's office next door, and reported loudly: "Manager Wang, we were in Shenzhen just now  Someone called and said that Taiyu Technology has arrived at a new container. It has just been loaded and is expected to arrive at noon today! This time we are the first to get the news, and other manufacturers don¡¯t know yet.¡± Manager Wang is in the manager¡¯s room!  When I was receiving two British businessmen, I was about to get angry when he pushed in the door. When I heard about it, my face immediately changed from gloomy to sunny. I narrowed my eyes to a slit with a smile. I slapped my thigh and shouted: "Well done, great!"  Allen, you go to Taiyu to place an order right away. Yes, don¡¯t call. Go there in person. Well, buy first" He glanced at the two British businessmen and gritted his teeth and said, "I can¡¯t bear to let the child be a wolf.  , Alan, go ahead and order 100 units! If the new product is released, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t sell it! I¡¯ll call all the technicians here, and we¡¯ll organize the cracking as soon as the new game comes back!¡± He knows!  Taiyu Technology¡¯s games are so good and cool.  In the early days, no one could crack it. Many manufacturers just stole game ideas and then found people to develop games with the same interface and content.  However, after development, without exception, I found that the size and sensitivity of the games I developed were much worse than those of Taiyu Technology.  They use the same processor, but the quality of the pirated games is not even a little bit worse, but completely lagging behind, just like another game.  In order to install the source program, we have to use a larger storage capacity than Taiyu Technology.  Moreover, the actual game feel, controllability, and reaction speed are completely incomparable with the original game, and the difference is extremely obvious.  Gamers can tell it is a crappy counterfeit as soon as they get started with it, and they will immediately abandon it and walk away. They would rather wait for a long time for a genuine game than play a pirated version.  So in the early days, Taiyu Technology¡¯s arcade games almost swept the global market, and no competitor could find any counterfeit games of the same quality.  Even later, everyone finally found a way to read the source program from the solidified memory. After seeing it, the programmers were stunned and couldn't recognize it at all.  Even the American company Atari, known as the global gaming giant, hired programming masters who were confused and miserable when reading programs.  So that all game manufacturers in the world have unanimously recognized that those who write programs for Taiyu Technology are the top masters. There is no programmer in the world who can compare with them.  And this is definitely not a job that can be completed by one person. There must be a huge team to provide technical support.  The first "Space Invaders" game was just a few kilobytes of small program, but it took global manufacturers, game enthusiasts, programmers, and technical experts three and a half years to completely crack and restore it.  This program is really written too concisely and perfectly. Basically, it performs the lowest level code operations directly on the processor. It takes countless time to understand the code itself, and then compress and streamline it.  It takes more time to restore the program to program lines that everyone can understand.  So much so that as soon as this cracked version was released, it caused a sensation among computer enthusiasts, scientific research technicians, and university professors around the world, and they all included it in their textbooks as a teaching example.  With this precedent, except for a few bored people in the world, almost no one in the world will try to crack Taiyu Technology's game source code. Cracking other source codes is nothing more than spending a little more money, taking a little longer, and hiring more technicians.  A little more, and the cost is slightly higher, but cracking Taiyu Technology's game code is fatal!  Some people in the computer industry secretly gave this mysterious programming team a nickname, calling it the "God Team."  Only God, such a non-human existence, can start from the lowest level of control and completely use assembly language to program the game from beginning to end!  There are also some programmers who have repeatedly failed to crack the code and cannot understand it even after receiving the source code. They simply call it the "psycho team" to show that it is not that they cannot understand, but that this team is really a pain in the ass.Only when they reach a certain level can normal people be unable to understand their thinking.  It¡¯s not crazy. Who would be so bored that they would write all code in assembly?  Therefore, in the later stage, various game manufacturers and pirates gave up the idea of ????copycats. After extracting the game source code, they stopped trying to crack it.  Instead, they use the same internal structure, components, and integrated circuits of the game console as Taiyu Technology to create a pirated arcade machine that is 100% irrefutable if caught, and then burn the extracted source code into their own memory.  , mounted for sale.  Some people have tried to use other better integrated circuits, processors, audio and video circuits as replacements before, but the results are not as good as the original ones.  The source code cannot be cracked, and the effect of replacing it with other components will be worse. Self-made copycats can at most be 70 or 80% of the original version. Apart from 100% piracy, what other methods are there?  At the end of the development, everyone relied on domestic favoritism, openly stole the source code, and launched a completely pirated arcade machine that was the same as Taiyu Technology.  So far, there are still many game fans who only recognize Taiyu Technology and do not recognize other brands.  Therefore, Taiyu Technology, which had already experienced a sharp decline in market share, has once again rapidly improved. It dropped from the lowest market share to 39%, quickly rose back to 50%, and then fluctuated around this level.  Although the industry was frustrated, it finally gradually recognized Taiyu Technology¡¯s leading position.  Another consequence of this is that manufacturers began to rush to buy the latest arcade machines as soon as possible, and then immediately organized source code extraction.  And global agent sellers also know that if they want to make maximum profits, they must hurry up and complete the distribution work before pirates withdraw from pirated arcades in large numbers to grab the first piece of the pie.  Basically, as soon as a new game comes on the market, it is immediately snapped up by agents everywhere.  Therefore, all pirate manufacturers must also compete for time.  Since they couldn¡¯t get into the country, they found agents and paid local people in Shenzhen to help keep an eye on the train station.  As soon as the container arrives, the manufacturer is notified immediately, and then they rush to Taiyu Technology as quickly as possible and pretend to be agents to place orders.  The spy they hired today was the first to call and report the news, which gave them a head start.  Manager Wang seemed to have seen the huge amounts of money flying in front of his eyes. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, and he immediately ordered the salesman to place an order quickly.  ¡°Copy that!¡± The salesman jumped for joy and ran outside the company.  "What?" The two British businessmen couldn't understand Cantonese or Chinese. They saw them chattering and then the salesman ran out in a hurry.  Manager Wang spoke fluent English and immediately explained the situation to the other party. Then he smiled from ear to ear and said: "Mr. Turner, Mr. Rodney, you are so lucky. You encountered a new game on the market as soon as you came here. I  The salesperson has already gone to place an order. You only need to wait for one more week and you can buy the latest arcade machine!¡± ¡°Good! Very good!¡± The two foreigners were very happy and gave them thumbs up.
