When it comes to the game "Legend", young people may not know much about it after 20 years, but it is an iconic product in the history of domestic online games and even in the history of Internet business.

has written a strong stroke in China!

For many people in the 70s and 80s, "Legend" is their youthful years, their lost memories, and yellowed old photos...

Beach Village, Scarecrow, Ebony Sword, Skull Hole, Blessed Oil, Zombie Cave, Walmart, Zuma, etc., these words used to make these people crazy.

And, of course, dragon slaying!

In fact, many people who have played "Legend" have never seen a dragon slay, but this does not affect people's yearning for this artifact in the slightest.

A warrior with a dragon slayer knife was once the ultimate dream of many boys?

But.

At the beginning of 2001, including Chen Daqiao, who won the agency of "Legend", no one would have realized that a tepid kimchi online game in South Korea would actually set off a game frenzy that affected a whole generation in China, completely changing the domestic ~ domestic online game ecology...

That's right!

Initially, even the South Korean developers of Legends themselves didn't think much of it - good for the game.

As a result, Chen Daqiao, who was on the verge of desperation because of his previous unsuccessful career, used the last $300,000 to win the domestic agency of "Legend".

The reason is, its game mechanics are too simple.

Upgrade, slash monsters, pan for equipment, slash monsters, level up... Cycle!

All in all, Legends is a game that isn't very replayable, and at its core, it's even about slashing monsters and leveling up.

Who can endure months or even years of repetitive boring monster slashing and upgrading careers?

Just to add a little bit to the numbers on your panel data?

Before "Legend" swept the major Internet cafes in China, no one dared to say that netizens would like such a game.

Outcome......

When the Legend is online.

Many people in the game industry suddenly realized that people don't like too complicated mechanics, so they like this pure data upgrade flow!

It's a simple upgrade that can make people feel satisfied...

Thereupon.

Such a simple game has skyrocketed in China!

And it has been hot for more than ten years...

Even 20 years later, there are still endless private servers, mobile games and web versions of mobile games in China.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chirp Hui, and if I'm a brother, let's cut the legend together!"

This advertisement has almost reached the point where anyone who has been on the Internet has been forced to see it...

Once.

In 2001, Chen Daqiao relied on a "Legend" salted fish to turn over, and even successfully listed on the American Nasdaq in 2004, becoming the "richest man" in China for a while!

In just three years, he actually relied on a game to go from being on the verge of bankruptcy to becoming the richest man.

It can be seen how popular "Legend" was back then...

But.

At the moment, Su Ye can only say sorry to Brother Chen, since I am here, then the big hen that lays golden eggs in "Legend" can only be cut off by me.

After returning to the capital, Su Ye simply packed a few clothes, and once again took a flight to South Korea...

South Korea's capital, Altos Game Productions in Cheongdam-dong, welcomed an uninvited guest.

"You want to buy our Legends game?"

The boss of Altos received Su Ye, and when he heard Su Ye bluntly offer to buy "Legend", he showed an incredulous expression.

Because one of the hottest games in South Korea at the moment is called "Paradise".

Domestic people may not know the status of "Lineage" in the South Korean game industry at that time, let's put it this way, even after six or seven years, there are still a number of game studios in China that specialize in making Hanbok "Lineage" gold.

Manually hit gold, and the monthly income can exceed 10,000!

This over 10,000 does not refer to the boss of the studio, but to the wage earners who work for the boss, and they can earn more than 10,000 per month!

You can imagine how popular "Paradise" is in South Korea.

Of course......

There is also a difference between the exchange rate and the level of the economy.

For example. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

10,000 RMB is about 2 million won, while the median income in South Korea is about 4 to 5 million won, and even some casual workers in restaurants have a minimum hourly wage of 7,000 or 8,000 won.

Other words.

A part-time worker has a normal monthly income of 200-3 million won.

So if you benchmark it in China, the income of a part-time job in a fried chicken restaurant was about 2,000 yuan more than ten years ago.

This is the gap. []

In fact, not only in this era, but even twenty years later, many game studios are specialized in foreign servers.

For example, in some countries in Western Europe, the average monthly income is about 2,000 euros, which is 18,000-20,000 yuan when converted into RMB!

Earn foreign exchange through foreign services, and then convert it into RMB, this interest rate difference is quite amazing...

It can be said that the foreign service game gold industry is truly realized, people in China, enjoying the domestic price level, but earning high income outside.

Of course, most of the income was earned by the boss, and it was not uncommon for the boss to earn millions a year in some studios of the "Paradise" and "World of Warcraft" servers back then...

In fact.

Even after 20 years, the average income in China is still not ideal, and the annual income of the average urban resident is 4-50,000 yuan, which is a year!

And what about the domestic network?

Even those with an annual income of two or three hundred thousand yuan are not considered rich, and they are not worthy of being Chinese people in the new era without a net worth of millions or tens of millions.

But actually...

That's just a very small minority, and most people have a monthly income of less than 10,000.

In fact, it is equivalent to that the first-tier cities in China have entered the developed countries in advance, while the third- and fourth-tier small towns, as well as the vast rural areas, are still developing countries...

The gap between the rich and the poor is enormous.

But then again.

Similar to Nichishima and Hanjima, don't look at their very high income, like a normal company member in Japan, the monthly income is generally at least three or four hundred thousand yen, and the middle-level management with high seniority can even reach about one million yen.

Converting the exchange rate, the monthly salary of an ordinary company employee is about 2-25,000 RMB...

Otherwise, Chinese immigration to Ridao has always been a popular study abroad industry?

There is indeed a considerable income gap.

But.

Due to the dual exploitation of the Japanese chaebol and Western capital, the Japanese and Korean islands seem to have high incomes, but they are offset by high prices, and the lives of the people at the bottom cannot match the high incomes.

Taking into account the price of goods, in a sense, the living standards of residents in third- and fourth-tier small towns who earn 4,000,000 or 5,000 a month are about the same as those who earn 3,400,000 yen or 3,000,000 won a month in Japan and South Korea.

Even in the consumption of agricultural products, fruits, seafood, meat, etc., the consumption of most low-income groups in China can be higher than theirs.

Some comparisons in living standards are more dependent on local prices of goods and resources, rather than just income.

Money, in the final analysis, is just a general equivalent, which is used to exchange for materials.

The real living conditions depend on how easy it is for you to get supplies.

Of course

If you are making money outside and spending money back home, then the days will be very free... Spoon....
