Chapter 568 Do it secretly, and then surprise everyone

After the New Year,

the topic of 4G continues to be hot.

It is foreseeable that

in the next two or three months, the new generation of communication technology will probably be the hottest topic.

Until this trend passes, or 4G is no longer rare.

Obviously, 4G is still a long way from being out of date...

Whether it is really optimistic or speculative.

In short,

major companies and enterprises have jointly created an atmosphere of the coming of a new era.

This has made many people start to bet on this future.

And playing online games on mobile phones is one of the application scenarios of 4G in the future.

Of course, some people are betting.

Tianhu bet, but only announced that it would produce mobile online games.

Because the negotiations with Tianyu collapsed... They did not make many follow-up actions, and Mou Feng was still busy competing with shareholders internally and polishing the game.

So, although they were the first company to announce that they would enter the field of mobile online games,

they were not the loudest.

Soon,

a company with a louder voice appeared.

At the beginning of this month, Kesi Entertainment, a second-tier game company in China, announced that it would cooperate with Tianyu, the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in China, and would invest a full 1 billion yuan to develop mobile online games!

A super-large mobile game that can be played anytime, anywhere!

This is much more exciting than Tianhu simply saying that it would make mobile online games.

After all, the other party also announced the investment.

The number of 1 billion is indeed not small.

Players subconsciously compare it with the investment of other terminal games, and it is easy to draw such a conclusion-the other party is serious.

And such a grand announcement that they want to make mobile games is also effective.

It is easy to make people feel that this future is really promising.

Although this has caused resistance from some players, after all, in their opinion, no matter how much investment is made, if the size of the mobile phone remains unchanged, the playability of the game will never be comparable to traditional console games and PC games.

So they don't want this future.

But their not wanting it does not mean that all players don't want it.

It also does not mean that investors don't want it.

Now Linmu Studio is far ahead in China, and last year Lin Yao even ranked at the top of the domestic rich list at the end of the year.

This has fully demonstrated how profitable the gaming industry is...

It is normal for investors to bet on another company that may become "Linmu Studio" in the new era after the arrival of 4G.

And if mobile games can really achieve the level of Linmu Studio,

the upper limit will be much higher than that of traditional PC games.

It's a very simple truth.

Mobile phones are too convenient. Almost everyone has one, and there are countless potential users.

And the partner of Kesi Entertainment, which announced the news this time, is the well-known domestic Tianyu.

No matter how you think about it,

it's very reliable!

So.

Kesi Entertainment just announced that it would invest 1 billion to develop mobile games.

The next day.

The stock price directly hit the daily limit

. The stock of Tianyu also ushered in a significant increase.

The stock prices of these two companies rose for three consecutive days. It

directly became a wonder.

And this scene also made everyone see how much potential the future of 4G plus games has.

So soon, it was not just Kesi Entertainment.

Various domestic game companies all jumped out.

For a while, there

was a swarm of demons.

Every game company wanted to make mobile games.

There were existing game companies and newly established game companies.

Some cooperated with domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and some worked alone.

Their idea was very simple, that is -

fight for the future!

Bet on the future of mobile games!

Become the second "Linmu Studio"!

Capital, enterprises, investors, speculators.

In just half a month.

This concept was completely hyped up, and all game companies were pulled into the vortex.

Except for Tianhu and Linmu Studio.

Let's not talk about Linmu Studio for now.

Tianhu was the first game company to propose to make mobile online games, but in the end, the voice was the smallest. There was no way, Mou Feng insisted on polishing the game before announcing it!

This made the shareholders of Tianhu, who had a complex composition, very dissatisfied, and began to put pressure on Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng, asking them to quickly announce the game and seize the initiative again.

Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng are really dead now.

Because they firmly believe that it is reasonable for Linmu Studio not to move!

This wave of trend will not end well.

You can announce the news, you can participate in it, and announce that you are developing a mobile online game.

But before the internal polishing of the game is completed, you must not announce or sell the game in advance.

This is their bottom line.

...

In the future, the concept of mobile phones plus handheld game consoles has been hyped up recently.

But most players are confused.

What is this?

Okay.

I believe that mobile online games are the future, but you guys should bring out the games.

Now the games haven't even been made yet, but they are already hyping it up.

Various game media still have an attitude that they understand games better than players, and they are hyping it up, making all the real players look confused.

Of course, there are also players who think about it and are also optimistic about this future. They also have expectations for these game companies that have announced that they will develop mobile games. There are actually quite a few of them.

So in the end.

These two groups of people even quarreled because of Linmu Studio...

Let's not talk about Tianhu for now.

Although they also didn't make any big moves, they also announced that they would enter the mobile game field.

But Linmu Studio... really didn't make any moves.

I heard that some media interviewed them about their views on mobile online games.

They all refused to answer, as if they didn't care about this thing.

This made players who think that mobile online games are just a concept now think that they are great and it's best not to get involved.

But at the same time, this also made players who believed that mobile games were the future worried, thinking that Linmu Studio was too slow and passive.

And these two groups of people could not convince each other.

They all thought they were right.

And in this situation.

The popularity of mobile online games continued to rise and became more and more popular...

The time came to the end of March.

Finally.

Someone couldn't hold it in anymore. He

took the lead in announcing his own mobile online game.

It was a mobile online game with full automatic as the core gameplay, which was in the same vein as the web game...

In short,

almost all operations do not require players to do it themselves.

Just click on the task, the character will move by itself, complete the task, upgrade and fight monsters.

The only part that players can operate is that when the task is terminated, they can move their characters in the game square...

Obviously, the game maker has not figured out how to let players control the game on their mobile phones.

In the end, they can only learn from the experience of web games, add some functions such as rankings, and make it a handheld web game...

And, maybe because time is too tight.

The production level of this game is extremely poor.

I won't mention the frequent freezes and freezes.

The graphics level of the game is the same as a 3A game running on a rubbish computer with extremely low graphics quality. There are blurry textures everywhere, and the loading is often stuck... It can be said to be shoddy.

And this is the first mobile online game in China that supports outdoor play. Once it is released, you can imagine what kind of impact it has brought to the player community.

Players are criticizing it!

What the hell.

Is this the future you are talking about?

Then you can enjoy it slowly!

But this is not the end...

soon.

Maybe they don’t want to admit defeat.

One after another, many game companies have launched their own mobile online games.

But without exception.

They are all patched up and rushed out.

It’s normal to think about it.

A more serious company.

It’s not easy to make a mobile game without preparation in the early stage.

Even Tianhu has been preparing for so long, and the effect of the trial version is not very bad.

Let alone those speculative small game companies.

So... the mobile online games announced at this time are unlikely to be playable.

As one shit game after another is produced.

Even the players who are optimistic about this future can’t stand it.

Garbage.

It's all garbage!

Those game media that said mobile online games are the future are embarrassed to talk about the future now.

They even began to reflect and re-evaluate how far away players are from that future...

and investors are not blind.

After the speculators' operation,

mobile online games began to cool down rapidly.

The first companies that reaped the dividends, such as Cosi Entertainment, were better. After all

, their products have not been released yet, and everyone still has expectations for them.

But those companies that said they would make mobile online games are no longer sought after.

And after a round of twists and turns,

Linmu Studio did nothing.

Instead, it became the biggest winner...

Especially during this period, "World of Warcraft" hit a new high in the number of online users at the same time because of the "Fireside Gathering Ticket".

Investors all think that it is still reliable for Linmu Studio to make traditional games... at least at the current stage.

And players also think that Linmu Studio is reliable no matter how big the outside world is.

Don't rashly enter a field that you are not familiar with.

Instead, calm down and do what you are familiar with first, don't follow others blindly, and wait for the right time. It's really awesome!

At this moment.

Linmu Studio can be said to have a good reputation...

...

"Because we don't announce that we are making mobile online games, so we have a good reputation?"

Linmu Studio.

When Lin Yao heard this news from Mu Wanqing, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes."

Mu Wanqing looked helpless: "No one expected that mobile online games would be so popular in the end, and so many peers would be anxious to release semi-finished games."

She explained it to Lin Yao a little.

But she didn't explain it in too much detail.

The main thing was to talk about why this result would occur.

Because Lin Yao herself had been surfing the Internet intensively some time ago.

She still knew most of the things.

It's just that during this period, because of the manuscript problem of the press conference, she didn't pay attention to it.

"Psycho..."

After listening, Lin Yao shook her head with some amusement.

This situation seemed normal to her.

When a popular industry that everyone is optimistic about is just starting out, it must be full of a lot of bad coins, because there are all kinds of people.

Then because of a lot of bad coins, it is normal to be looked down upon.

After all, users suddenly found that they could not see the future at all...

This situation will continue until a truly epoch-making mobile game appears and players and users completely change their views.

Those who are really optimistic about mobile games will definitely not be affected and will continue to rush in their own established direction.

Most of the peers who have jumped out now are just speculators.

Those who really think that mobile games have great potential are probably still thinking about how to make mobile games on a small screen.

Lin Yao understands all these principles.

But she really didn't expect...

these speculators would highlight Lin Mu Studio after doing this.

"This may have some impact on us. After all, we are not really uninterested in mobile games. We are not only interested in mobile games, but we have even made products..."

Mu Wanqing continued, "So do you think we should make some preparations?"

"..."

Lin Yao lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "No, let's just leave it at that... There is no need to explain it now. Anyway, the linkage will be revealed soon, so let the players think so first, which can create a sense of contrast.

Moreover, you said that our products are made... So don't worry at all. No matter how the outside world reacts at that time, we will let the products speak for themselves. We are not just making empty promises. Even if we are looked down upon, it will not last long.

In addition, I am very confident in our mobile phones and mobile games! Since all the people who make mobile games now are speculators, making players think that mobile games are rubbish, then we might as well come out and tell them what real mobile games should look like!"

"Okay."

Mu Wanqing smiled and looked at the girl in front of her with high spirits, and responded softly.

If you want to vote when Lin Yao is the most charming.

At that moment when she was full of confidence and high spirits, Mu Wanqing felt that she would definitely be ranked in the top three.

"By the way, how is the recording progress of Zhong Xiu and the others?"

Lin Yao did not pay much attention to Mu Wanqing's gaze.

Instead, she suddenly asked about another thing that interested her.

"It's going very smoothly." Mu Wanqing came back to her senses and replied softly.

"That's almost it."

Lin Yao glanced at the date in the lower left corner of the screen in front of her: "The entire linkage plan will be launched. It's time to let the players see what's hidden in our treasure chest... Then there will be publicity, promotion, and press conferences. Think about it carefully... Now there is only one problem left to be solved."

"A problem?" Mu Wanqing stared at Lin Yao with her beautiful eyes.

"Yes."

Lin Yao nodded quite seriously, then stood up: "That is - what clothes should I wear on stage."

"..." Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao.

"Don't laugh! The outfit for the press conference is also very important."

Lin Yao rolled her eyes at her: "The same clothes will become a symbol, and it may even become a selling point... If you don't want to, I would have you on top of me. Your whole body is a selling point."

After that.

She also looked at Mu Wanqing, who was wearing a hip skirt and a white shirt, with a curvy figure.

"I can't do it. My stage is not at the press conference."

Mu Wanqing smiled and shook her head.

"Then where is it?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

"Here." Mu Wanqing pointed to the floor she was standing on and the office she was in.

"Okay."

Lin Yao was not too surprised to hear this. After nodding calmly, she said: "Then you dance and see..."

Mu Wanqing was slightly startled, and then glared at Lin Yao gently.

The seemingly angry queen has a unique flavor.

Lin Yao couldn't help laughing and was about to speak.

"Not here." Mu Wanqing suddenly spoke.

Lin Yao: "..."

Not here?

So it's okay elsewhere, right...

...

Early April.

Finally.

After a series of feces baptism.

The popularity of mobile online games has completely disappeared.

Now some players even start to think that mobile phones are not suitable for playing games at all.

This is undoubtedly another heavy blow to Mou Feng.

Although he proved that it was a good thing not to rush to launch a half-finished game and it was a wise choice not to get involved in muddy waters.

But because Linmu Studio has not taken any action yet.

Seeing the current situation of mobile online games, the shareholders within Tianhu began to question Mou Feng again, whether it was worth investing so much resources in the development of mobile online games...

Yes.

It changed so quickly.

Last month, when mobile online games were still hot, they said that they would announce Tianhu's half-finished mobile games as soon as possible to seize the market as soon as possible.

Now that everyone is calling for mobile online games to be beaten and players are not optimistic, they have changed their words again.

Mou Feng was almost angry to death.

But being angry is being angry.

Problems always have to be faced.

He could only talk about his understanding of mobile online games over and over again, and at the same time explain to them over and over again that they should not be impatient.

But the effect was minimal.

After another round of wrangling, Mou Feng returned to the office exhausted.

Then he opened the official website of Linmu Studio, the Vaporwave game platform and the player forum as usual.

He began to look for the news he wanted.

But unfortunately.

Still nothing.

While he was checking the forum, the phone rang.

Mou Feng looked at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, brother, things haven't been going well recently, have they?"

Yu Tianbo's voice came.

He was still cheerful.

It seemed that he was not affected by the last time at all.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm actually fine..." Mou Feng replied stubbornly.

"Okay, stop lying to me. The last proposal still counts. Do you want to reconsider it?"

Yu Tianbo interrupted him directly, and then said, "I know your current situation is not good. Cooperating with us is a perfect way to solve the problem. I won't force you to produce a semi-finished product this time. I also know that you have requirements for the quality of the game. How about this, as long as you agree to exclusivity, we can set up a joint venture together. I can support you to slowly make your mobile online game, so that you can deal with those shareholders and polish your own mobile online game...kill two birds with one stone, how about it?"

After listening, Mou Feng frowned slightly. He did not answer directly, but asked back, "Recently, everyone has begun to be pessimistic about the direction of mobile online games, and many people even assert that it is not realistic at all. You have also cooperated with Cosi Entertainment, why do you still come to us?"

"Buy an extra insurance. After all, eggs should not be put in the same basket." Yu Tianbo smiled and said, "Besides, other people's pessimism has nothing to do with me. I am optimistic. There are always a minority of sober people. Mobile games are definitely the direction of the future. I am very sure of this."

Yu Tianbo said very confidently.

But Mou Feng thought about it and said to himself: "Mr. Yu, the mobile game of Kesi Entertainment... Didn't it meet your requirements? Or is it progressing slowly? So you came to us?"

"..."

Yu Tianbo was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "Okay, brother Mou Feng, I have to admit that you are very smart. Compared with you, they are really not good enough. The project has not been progressing smoothly... I will tell you the truth. I have come into contact with many mobile online games during this period, and finally found that your Tianhu mobile online game is the most like that. Although there are many problems, it is the most playable and the fastest. Even if I explain the design ideas of mobile online games to others, they may not understand it after a long time... They have no experience and are too stupid.

The mobile online game you are developing now is the best one. I am very optimistic about it, so I came to you again, do you understand?"

The other party said very sincerely.

Mou Feng was stunned after listening, and then he couldn't help feeling a little happy.

His judgment was correct.

They are indeed moving faster than others!

Then, after a while of happiness.

Mou Feng was very touched and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Yu...but I still refuse."

Yu Tianbo was happy for just a few seconds after hearing "thank you for your compliment", and then he heard the word of rejection, and he was choked.

He was a little dissatisfied and said, "No, don't you understand? You are the leader now? Do you understand!? When everyone is generally pessimistic about mobile games, as long as you make mobile games, you can become the founder of mobile online games in one fell swoop! As long as you are the first to launch an epoch-making mobile online game! Then you will be the first in the future!

Your shareholders of Tianhu are blind and have been putting pressure on you, but cooperating with us can greatly relieve the pressure! Moreover, we have hardware, and you make software, which can complement each other. At that time, I will let the engineering team directly connect with your mobile online game project team to greatly speed up your research and development. What are you still hesitating about?"

After listening, Mou Feng was silent for a while, and told the truth: "It's mainly exclusive, I don't think it's very reliable."

"Then let me ask you, after your mobile online game is made, don't you need a mobile phone to run it?"

Yu Tianbo asked back: "What's unreliable about this? It's only been a year, do you think something big will happen in this year? Mobile online games suddenly become popular again? How is it possible! At least there must be a groundbreaking game to redefine the mobile online games that have been discredited recently, and your game is that epoch-making mobile online game! Cooperating with us now is the best choice!

By cooperating with us, we can provide hardware assistance, speed up the progress, and deal with your shareholders. What are you waiting for?"

Mou Feng: "..."

To be fair.

Yu Tianbo's words make sense.

Mou Feng himself thinks it makes sense.

Yes.

Now Yu Tianbo doesn't even require me to produce a semi-finished product.

What am I waiting for?

Why don't you want to be exclusive?

Mou Feng began to trace the source, trying to figure out why he was unwilling to agree.

At the same time,

his other hand began to subconsciously click on the official website of Linmu Studio, Vaporwave game platform and player forum that he had just opened.

Then,

when he switched to the Vaporwave game platform,

he suddenly stopped.

On the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform, a box-like IOGO was constantly jumping and reorganizing.

Seeing this scene, Mou Feng was stunned, and then murmured: "I'm waiting for a gust of wind."

Yu Tianbo: "???????"

...

Forum.

After this period of continuous manure impact.

Players have reached a consensus.

Mobile online games really don't work.

At least for now, it really doesn't work.

So after the initial enthusiasm, players don't discuss any mobile games at all.

Even if they discuss occasionally, they use a teasing tone.

And Linmu Studio.

Now in the hearts of many players, it is already a god among gods...

Countless players sighed that Linmu Studio really deserves to be the number one game company in China.

When everyone plunged into mobile online games, they were as still as a mountain.

Doing what they think is right.

It's really too strong.

So.

Whenever there is a post that makes fun of mobile online games, you can see the presence of Linmu Studio.

Players are all praising them.

It's outrageous...

And today.

In the online game-related forum, the most popular post is discussing the "Fireside Gathering Ticket" of "World of Warcraft".

There must be players who have passed the quiz.

And after passing, there are also many people who come to the forum to show off.

So most players know that after passing the quiz, they will get a special invitation code.

As for the specific function, according to the conversation with the tavern owner, the players also know that Linmu Studio will send an email to inform the players who have answered the quiz.

And today.

It is the day when the email is sent.

So the players are waiting for a big guy to tell everyone what the invitation code is used for.

However.

From noon.

Until 1 pm.

No one came out to post.

So the players were very curious, and then they started to discuss...

"So what is the invitation code for? No one has come out to talk about it?"

"I don't know, but it could be a new event!"

"It could also be a new game... Anyway, it definitely won't be a mobile online game."

"Mobile online game [ridiculous]? Shouldn't it be called a gimmick now? But to be honest, I really want to play the mobile online game made by Linmu Studio... It shouldn't be as bad as the current garbage, right? Or, they also announced that they would make a mobile game? Save the industry?"

"I kind of want to, but there's no need. Even if they announced that they were going to make a mobile game, it probably wouldn't save anything. It would only cause controversy and be looked down upon. I think it's better for Linmu Studio to do it secretly, and when the time is right, announce it directly! No suspense! Surprise everyone!"

"Surprise everyone... It's more like shocking, how is that possible! And secretly do it to surprise everyone! Show me one!?"

"Haha, surprise everyone."

"The above, stop discussing, someone has posted..."

"..."

The discussion of the players.

Suddenly stopped.

Because a player who had answered all the questions posted a post explaining the purpose of the invitation code.

But.

When the players who were discussing the game saw the screenshot of the email exposed by the boss, they were all stunned.

[What is the invitation code for? Now I know! It is a new game called "Hearthstone Legend", but this is not the point, this is really not the point! Do you know what else the email said? Linmu Studio asked us to choose! Whether to participate in the game test on the PC or on the mobile phone! Damn! Yes! Mobile-Mobile-End!!! ! ! ! !]

After the post.

There were five exclamation marks, which showed how shocked the poster was.

And the players who read this post...

"??????????"
