Chapter 22 The Millionaire

"Team leader, team leader, something happened!"

Capcom headquarters, [Resident Evil] game group office area, Capcom Matsumoto Saburo, who is testing the PC version of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse", hurriedly broke into the office of the team leader Yoshiyuki Ono.

Ono Yuki frowned and said, "Matsumoto, don't always be rash, what happened?"

"Team leader, look!"

Saburo Matsumoto placed his laptop on his desk and pointed to the dialog box that popped up on the laptop screen.

"Share the download link and send equipment?"

Ono Yuki stood up from the chair at once, and his face changed slightly: "Oh no!"

As he said that, he picked up his laptop and said to Saburo Matsumoto: "Matsumoto, you go back to work first, I'll go find the president!"

"Oh well!"

Seeing Matsumoto Saburo return to the office area, Ono Yuki hurried to the office of Capcom President Hiroki Joe Ben.

After the meeting last night, Capcom exerted its strong influence. Not only did it close the download channel of the Japanese version of this game through the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but it also deleted many soft articles on the Internet that recommended this game through public relations.

The person in charge of Capcom's US branch has also called the US police. In just a few days, the download channel of the English version of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" will also be closed.

Who would have thought that as soon as they made an action, the other party would play such a trick?

When Ono was lucky enough to enter the president's office, Hiroki Joe was talking to Fujiwara Nobuka, the marketing department director.

Seeing Ono Yuki came in with a serious look on his face, Joe Ben Hiroki said, "Ono, what's wrong?"

Ono Yuki said: "President, the other party has made new moves, you can see!"

Ono was indeed lucky to put the computer in front of Hiroki Joemoto and Kikiwara Fujiwara.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the content of the dialog box, Joe Ben Hiroki and Fujiwara Nika also changed their faces.

Qiao Benhongshu said with a gloomy face: "It seems that our previous work has been wasted. It may be difficult to stop the circulation of this game from conventional channels."

You should know that although it is illegal in Japan to deliberately download or purchase pirated products, they will be punished severely if they are found.

But this kind of thing is generally rarely seen. Even if you really use pirated products, as long as you do not find direct evidence by the copyright protection department, nothing will happen.

Especially for pirated download links like this that are spread through communication software, the servers that store source files are generally in China, and there is no possibility of blocking them at all. Unless Chinese government departments also join the ranks of combating pirated games, Capcom will probably suffer if they lose money.

Qiao Ben Hiroki looked at Fujiwara Kika and said, "Miss Kika, what do you say now from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Fujiwara Kika said: "The Metropolitan Police Department said it is still under investigation. The other party opened a Citibank account, which requires the United States to investigate. Unless we have first-hand evidence of money laundering in this account, and then through the FBI, we have no way to deal with the other party. More importantly, it will take one or two months to go through this process. If the other party makes a fuss and leaves, I'm afraid..."

Qiao Benhongshu's brows were locked tightly. Capcom hadn't encountered such an embarrassing situation for a long time. Although this game would not have much impact on Capcom's revenue, at most it would be more laborious and re-formatted the follow-up plan for the "Resident Evil" series of games, this kind of thing was really like eating a fly, which was very disgusting.

"Baga, if I find out which studio behind the scenes did it, I will definitely make them look good!"

Qiao Ben Hiroki cursed and looked up at Kika Fujiwara and said, "Since that's the case, Miss Kika, then you will be responsible for finding a studio to crack this game. 50 million yen, and the cracked version of this game must be handed over within half a month!"

Fujiwara Noka and Ono looked at each other, lowered their heads and said, "Hi!"

...

Yang Lin didn't know how angry the President Capcom was at this time. At this time, he was sitting leisurely in front of his laptop, watching the funds in his bank account rise sharply.

Since the launch of the event of sharing the game, the download volume of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" on the PC version has soared.

The reputation of this game has also become known to more and more players as time goes by.

In particular, Capcom publicly stated on its official website that this was a copycat game, which caused an uproar among the players.

The quality of the copycat games is still above the original version. How can those genuine manufacturers feel?

Players who have never played the PC version of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" are curious about what kind of game this is, which can force the genuine manufacturer to do so.

Those who have played it highly recommend it to their friends and become the self-paid navy of this game.

Especially in China, due to the lack of piracy restrictions, many game fans noticed this so-called copycat game at the first time.

After experiencing the quality of this copycat, domestic game manufacturers were even scolded by game fans. Look at others, this quality stand-alone game only costs 15 yuan, and domestic games can only use online games to cheat players' money. In recent years, in addition to the "Sword of Sword" series, the "Ancient Sword Qi Tan" series, and the FPS "Glorious Mission" jointly developed by the Giant Group and the military, domestic stand-alone games can't even be seen.

Perhaps because of this comparison, more than half of the players who are used to playing free stand-alone games actually choose to pay.

In just less than a week, the download volume of the Chinese version of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" exceeded 100,000 times, and 60,000 people chose to pay, and Yang Lin made a profit of 900,000 yuan.

In foreign countries, the number of Japanese version downloads reached 40,000, of which more than 30,000 paid users, more than 60,000 English versions exceeded 60,000, and more than 40,000 paid users.

In less than a week, Yang Lin's bank account officially exceeded one million US dollars. He had to go to the Magic City and use his true identity to open an account at the Swiss Bank's branch office in China.

Yang Lin then transferred the funds from Citibank into the stock market through a series of dazzling money laundering techniques, and finally transferred them all to his UBS account.

In just over ten days, Yang Lin changed from a poor boy to a millionaire. He finally saw the power of this magical matrix system in his mind.

As for how much money he could make next, Yang Lin was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he had already made a decision. In order to avoid Capcom's complete madness, he finally attracted the attention of the FBI. In another week, he would evacuate immediately.

Anyway, this account was bought from a gangster organization in California through the "Immortal Bird" group. They contacted each other by email and asked the FBI to check it out.
