　　However, what you probably didn’t expect was that while the chess game was "on fire", the cheating software Black Product had already targeted this "cake" …

　　"Fighting landlords" contributed more than 3/4 revenue

　　Zen Tour Technology was established in 2010. According to the prospectus, the company currently ranks fifth in the domestic chess and card mobile game market, accounting for about 4% of the market.

　　There are 44 games owned by Chanyou Technology, including 19 card games, 14 board games and 11 other games. The main game products are fighting landlords, catching fast fish and Sichuan mahjong, among which the most representative is Fighting landlords every day (live version).

　　According to the prospectus, from 2016 to 2018, the operating income of Zen Tour Technology was 338 million yuan, 460 million yuan and 555 million yuan respectively, among which board games accounted for the main part of Zen Tour Technology’s revenue.

　　From 2016 to 2018, chess and card games contributed 294 million yuan, 432 million yuan and 424 million yuan to the company respectively, accounting for 86.9%, 94% and 88% of the total game revenue in the current period. Among all the games, Landlord Fight series games can be described as "outstanding", with revenue accounting for 84.4%, 93.1% and 75.8% of the company’s total revenue in the current period.

　　Zen Tour Technology also said that the company’s income mainly comes from the sales of game beans. From 2016 to 2018, the sales of game beans contributed 95.9%, 96.3% and 92.1% of the company’s total game revenue respectively.

　　Despite its rapid development, Zen Tour Technology has always faced the unique gambling risk of chess and card games during its development.

　　Chanyou Technology also pointed out in the announcement that there is no guarantee that China’s laws and regulations on virtual currency and anti-gambling will not affect the company’s business. "If we fail or are deemed to fail to comply with the above-mentioned and other regulatory requirements or laws, regulations and laws, it may lead to damage to our reputation and litigation or action by government agencies."

　　According to the record of Zen Tour Technology’s IPO conference, regarding the possible gambling risks, relevant persons of Zen Tour Technology believe that this kind of games do not involve landlords and mahjong games, and the company insists on making common popular leisure chess games instead of partial gambling and exciting games, which have very low risks.

According to the Jost Sullivan report, China’s mobile game market increased from 11.7 billion yuan in 2013 to 137.4 billion yuan in 2017; Among them, the chess and card mobile game market has also grown significantly in recent years, from 1 billion yuan in 2013 to 11.4 billion yuan in 2017, with a compound annual growth rate of about 83.7%.

　　However, at the same time, Heichan is also eyeing this "cake". After the investigation by Zhongxin Jingwei, it was found that for chess and card mobile games, Heichan launched the corresponding cheating software, and the price of only one cheating software for the landlord series mobile games was as high as nearly 1,000 yuan. The seller also said that these cheating softwares are different from plug-ins, which can prevent detection and prevent titles, and the market is very considerable.

　　Zhongxin Jingwei consulted three cheating software sellers as a player of Zen Tour Technology’s "Real-life version of fighting landlords every day". The seller Yongqiang said that their cheating software is "very powerful". Simply put, you can set any good cards you want.

　　Subsequently, Yongqiang sent a video of the effect of the cheating software, in which the usage of the software was introduced in detail. Zhongxin Jingwei noticed that in addition to adding platforms, link ID and other items, the software also has 12 functions, such as choosing cards at will, playing cards well, playing cards intelligently, seeing through landlords, seeing through farmers, forcibly grabbing landlords, starting planes, and forbidding others to open programs, as well as selecting straight cards, taking plane bombs, and randomly sharing four cards.

　　Yongqiang introduced that they can provide two versions of cheating software, namely, the high version and the low version. The price of the high version is 880 yuan and the price of the low version is 680 yuan.

　　"The high version has the function of anti-detection and anti-title. The low version does not have this function, and there is no difference in others." Yongqiang said, "If you want to install it, you should provide the version and model of the mobile phone first, and pay the 200 yuan deposit. I will help you place an order here, and send you the software installation package after setting the game. You can install it on the mobile phone, and then pay the final payment. Both Apple and Android phones can be installed. "

　　The seller Xiaofeng sent a screenshot of cheating software to Zhongxin Jingwei. However, this software is very similar to that introduced by Yongqiang in terms of page design and function.

　　Xiaofeng said that they can match the game played by the player and the mobile phone model customization software, and then install it on the mobile phone. The background server transmits the cheating information through the game ID, and the player can set the control.

　　"The software is 680 yuan, pay the deposit first, the software is customized, send you an installation package, install it on your mobile phone, and then pay the final payment." Xiaofeng said.

　　Xiaofeng also emphasized that the cheating software for Landlord series games transmits cheating information through game ID or micro-signal, and the software can match multiple games, but more than two games will cost extra. "This is cheating software, anti-detection, anti-title, you can rest assured to play. This is not a plug-in, and the plug-in has long been eliminated. " Xiaofeng said.

　　The seller Mei Lan sent a more detailed and intuitive video introduction. The video shows that after installing the cheating software provided by him, players can see through each other’s cards. Mei Lan introduced: "The price of single-function software is 480 yuan, and the system randomly takes good cards, with a winning rate of about 40%; The price of multi-functional software is 780 yuan. Players can see through other people’s cards, set up the functions of holding and selecting cards in hand, and control the game to win or lose. "

　　Expert: Or suspected of infringing the copyright of others.

　　Hu Gang, deputy secretary-general of internet society of china Law Commission, said in an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei that cheating software is essentially a plug-in behavior.

　　Zhongxin Jingwei noticed that as early as 2003, the former General Administration of Press and Publication, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the State Copyright Administration had notified them to carry out special treatment on "private servers" and "plug-ins".

　　The notice stipulates that the illegal acts of "private server" and "plug-in" refer to destroying the technical protection measures of legally published Internet game works with copyright enjoyed by others without permission or authorization, modifying the data of the works, setting up servers privately, making game recharge cards (cards), operating or hooking up legally published Internet game works with copyright enjoyed by others, so as to seek benefits and infringe upon the interests of others. The illegal acts of "private server" and "plug-in" belong to illegal Internet publishing activities and should be severely cracked down according to law.

　　Hu Gang said that China’s relevant laws stipulate that deploying, operating or even selling software outside the legal business entity without the permission of the legal operator of online games or relevant legal business entities actually interferes with, destroys or affects the operation effect of the original online games, resulting in the disorder of the whole operation. We all think this is a plug-in behavior. From a legal point of view, this is an act of infringing on the legitimate copyright of others.

　　Hu Gang said that the "Regulations on the Protection of Information Network Communication Rights" stipulates that relevant copyright operators will set up relevant technical protection measures in the course of operation, so that the network operation can be within a relatively controllable range. Plug-in actually cracked the relevant technical support through unconventional technical means, such as violent cracking and exploiting the underlying code loopholes. Judging from the relevant provisions of the civil law, this is an act of infringing on the copyright of others.

　　Hu Gang analyzed that if this cracking behavior is followed by sales and profit-making behavior, and the damage result is further expanded beyond a certain limit, this behavior may be investigated for administrative responsibility, such as fines. If this kind of infringement is serious enough, especially if the illegal business quota reaches a certain level and causes huge losses to the legitimate operating platform, it may be investigated for criminal responsibility.

　　Hu Gang pointed out that April 15th is the National Security Education Day, and network security is an important part of national security. We need to prevent and resolutely punish all kinds of illegal and criminal network behaviors in accordance with the law, accurately crack down on cleaning up all kinds of network "gray and black products", and strive to create a safe and clear cyberspace.
