A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...
Chapter 608 New King
The moment when Linmu Studio announced "Day of Reincarnation".
In fact, it was not only Mou Feng who had Tianhu who felt annoyed, annoyed why he hadn't thought of it.
In fact, all the competitors of Linmu Studio, all the game companies that made mobile games, thought so...
All competitors were annoyed.
Yes.
Why didn't I think of it!
After "Hearthstone" appeared, I should have thought of it!
This kind of card collection gameplay has great potential.
However, the gameplay of "Hearthstone" is still in the field of conventional card battles.
The art style is relatively more mature and more inclined to Europe and the United States.
So why can't we change our thinking?
Change the card face to a beautiful girl, let the player collect beautiful girls, and then make the conventional card battle gameplay easier?
This will definitely attract countless users!
This can be understood by looking at the real-time comments posted by the players in the live broadcast room.
They are all talking about what character they want...
They are all talking about what character they want to establish a bond with...
"Day of Reincarnation" has only released a PV.
The twenty five-star characters that appeared in total all had only one line of dialogue that was unclear.
As for the game's plot PV, there were only a few words, which simply explained the cause and effect and established a clichéd plot structure.
But even so.
Linmu Studio still relied on its strong brushstrokes to make the beautiful girls drawn, even with only one line, still make people imagine.
The beautiful girls have different personalities, which can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming.
The clichéd story is no longer clichéd at this moment, but is covered with a veil called "illusion and beauty".
Strictly speaking, the word "E2" is really not a derogatory word.
Because you can't expect everyone to be like a dragon in reality, and all are winners in life. This is unrealistic.
And beautiful things, to be honest, are really hard to resist.
Linmu Studio cleverly magnified the beautiful part.
Each beautiful girl is shaped to the extent that one sentence can make people feel good, and it is all-encompassing and unique.
Then.
Through the plot, let the protagonist, or more accurately, the player's avatar, connect with them.
Is this cliché?
It's cliché.
But it looks really good!
Forget about the players.
Many of the younger managers of Linmu Studio's competitors want to play "Day of Samsara" at this moment.
As I said before, beautiful things are hard to resist, even if they are artificially beautiful.
Because it's really too good!
Who can draw beautiful girls so outrageous!
Not even one is the same!
From personality to dress!
Twenty characters, all different!
And the characteristics of each character are highlighted!
It's just outrageous!
This is also the point that Linmu Studio's competitors are upset about.
Damn, it's too late!
Even if we copy "Day of Samsara" now, not to mention losing the first opportunity, it's a question whether we can design and draw a beautiful girl to compete with it.
Even if we can design it, it will probably take a long time!
So, why is Linmu Studio so skilled! ?
At this moment.
Everyone looked at the stage, at the host of the press conference who would not feel out of place even if he put it into the game.
Just one thought.
Is it because the other party is also a beautiful girl?
But doesn't the saying go that men understand men better! ?
Is it really that weird! ! ?
...
"...This is our new mobile game."
On the stage.
Lin Yao can probably guess what the audience thinks of such a mobile game this time.
Because this is the first time that Linmu Studio has made such a game - a game full of beautiful girls...
Of course.
This is also the first time that Lin Yao has been working at full capacity as an original artist...
She really used all her skills in drawing beautiful girls.
In addition, this kind of game is really amazing when it first comes out.
This kind of card-drawing gameplay of collecting beautiful girls became popular in Lin Yao's previous life and has been popular for nearly ten years.
There is a reason for this.
To a large extent, it is because it captures the hearts of players.
There were so many skin-changing mobile games at the beginning, and 80% of the responsibility was attributed to the card-drawing game.
Now.
In this world, the card-drawing game debuted for the first time.
The players here are not different species.
So the reaction is still easy to guess.
She didn't continue to introduce it.
Next.
She just needs to let the game be publicly tested, that's it...
"At the same time, this game, like Hearthstone, will support dual-end play. Whether it is Future S1 or Future PAD, which will be released soon, you can download this game."
Lin Yao continued: "Of course, the audience on site can also go to the trial area to try out this game first. This is also the first mobile game we have made for Future PAD. We hope to provide developers with some ideas.
We promise that Future PAD welcomes all developers and will provide developers with the same development environment as Future S1."
"Well, now let's get to the price link..."
Lin Yao announced the prices of the three new products almost without any pause.
In order to make the press conference go smoothly.
She deliberately put this link at the end.
"Future PAD, starting price 3999 yuan."
"FuturePods, price 1599 yuan."
"FuturePods MAX, price 2799 yuan."
And Lin Yao did not keep it a secret.
Almost announced at the same time.
The three products appeared on the screen at the same time and the price was immediately given.
And this price.
Obviously... exceeded the expectations of many people.
Especially the expectations of ordinary users.
Future PAD is actually cheaper than mobile phones.
But the earphones... are over a thousand!
The big earphones are even close to three thousand!
Whether it is worth it or not, everyone has a scale in their hearts.
Of course, there is no unified opinion.
In the end, it depends on the feedback after the product is released...
And for Lin Yao,
this price is well thought out.
Youmei is definitely not suitable for focusing on cost performance, at least not now.
Otherwise, the subsequent development of Youmei will be greatly restricted, and as a pioneer, it will have to impact the high-end again, which is too outrageous...
"The new products just introduced will be officially open for pre-sale after midnight tonight."
"It will be officially released on December 27th."
"And the new versions of Future OS and WeChat will be pushed tonight."
"..."
Lin Yao continued.
As soon as she finished speaking.
Instantly.
Huge cheers broke out.
In any case. It is extremely rare
to be able to buy new products as soon as the press conference is over. There is no ink, no marketing. The pre-sale starts as soon as the announcement is made. This means that as long as the user is interested, they can have the opportunity to buy immediately. This is worth cheering in any way. "..." Lin Yao looked at the cheering audience and suddenly thought of something. She pursed her red lips, but couldn't help but smiled: "Finally, I want to say a few more words." "I once heard such a question... What is a good product?" "I think we have just given the answer to this question." "The answer is the intersection of humanity and technology." "As long as we can find the best combination of the two, and then create a product that is extremely advanced from a technical point of view. And make the product extremely innovative, easy to use, and fun to use, so that the product adapts to the user, rather than the user adapting to them." "That is a good product." "And this is the answer." "The above is all the content of this press conference." "Thank you everyone." Lin Yao left a meaningful speech and finally bowed to the audience. Then, regardless of the stunned audience, she straightened up, turned around and walked towards the exit. And the moment she left. The cheers that seemed to overturn the roof of the venue broke out again... And in the corner, the members of the Jiaming Alliance and those responsible people all showed thoughtful expressions. Lin Yao turned her back to everyone, smiled softly, then quickened her pace slightly and left everyone's sight. After crossing the exit door. Lin Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely. Mu Wanqing, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward, stretched out her hand with a smile, and wanted to pass the rubber band on her wrist to Lin Yao. "Miss Mu!" But Lin Yao did not take off the rubber band on Mu Wanqing's white wrist, but inserted her slender fingers into her fingers, held her hand in reverse, and said with a little excitement: "I just pretended to be... big!" "..." Mu Wanqing looked at the charming smile on Lin Yao's round oval face, and was immediately infected, and burst out laughing. If there were no other staff members, she would have wanted to hug her. ... On the other side. In the venue.
The person in charge of Jiaming Alliance was still in deep thought, thinking about the intersection of humanities and technology that Lin Yao had just mentioned.
They wanted to understand the design concept represented by this sentence.
But soon,
they gave up.
Because as the cheering stopped, the audience, who were eager to try and couldn't wait, all stood up and looked at the side hall next to the trial.
They were waiting for the staff to open the trial.
Seeing this scene,
the person in charge of Jiaming Alliance all put on masks and stood up.
Fuck the intersection of humanities and technology...
Now Jiaming Alliance is going to die...
What's the point of thinking about these...
Let's just try it honestly.
I hope it doesn't work.
At this moment,
their thoughts
were surprisingly consistent... In sharp contrast with the users.
Users.
Also looking at the trial area, looking forward to it.
But full of expectations.
However,
they also have troubles.
That is...
For a moment,
they can't decide what to try when they enter the trial area... They
want to try everything, and everything feels fresh.
They want to try everything!
There are really too many surprises in this press conference.
Same.
Live broadcast website.
At the end of the press conference,
the audience didn't know which product to discuss mainly.
Because there were all kinds of things to talk about.
Some discussed products, some discussed applications, some discussed operating systems, some discussed games...
and even
competitors.
They didn't know what to focus on.
Linmu Studio has blossomed in many areas.
Hardware, operating systems, mobile payments, games...
It's dazzling.
Multiple fields.
Completely subverted...
Tianhu.
Mou Feng finally made it to the end of the press conference.
And the notebook he took out in the middle was now full of content, a whole page of densely packed content.
He took a look.
First, he had to evaluate the potential of Future PAD and the necessity of porting Tianhu mobile games to Future PAD.
Secondly, he had to evaluate the QR code payment updated by WeChat and think about whether Tianhu payment can be done.
Then, he had to evaluate the mobile game "Day of Reincarnation"... and then consider whether he could make similar competing products.
All of the above.
You need to actually get the new product or actually use it before you can draw a conclusion.
Moreover.
After evaluating these, we also need to evaluate the impact of Linmu Studio's press conference on multiple markets...
In addition, Tianhu cannot offend this competitor and the largest platform...
The more Mou Feng thought about it, the more rapid his breathing became.
Then,
his eyes went dark.
His head felt like it was going to explode.
"Can you let me have a good New Year..."
Finally,
Mou Feng held his head and
wailed.
It hurt.
It really hurts...
And after the press conference
, even the media people were not much better...
They had the same troubles.
That is... What should I report tomorrow?
For example, Chang Zhiming.
Before entering the venue,
his purpose was very clear, just take a picture of Lin Yao and then introduce the press conference.
The main subject was Lin Yao.
The second was the press conference.
But now.
After watching the press conference in its entirety,
he felt that if he still kept holding on to Lin Yao, he would be a pure scapegoat.
Tablets, headphones, QR code payment, system updates, games...
Which one is not of interest to the audience?
Which one is not amazing?
So until the trial area was opened, he entered.
Chang Zhiming hadn't figured out what he should focus on experiencing yet...
The only thing he was sure of was that
he wanted to experience them all!
While he was queuing to enter, he looked around and
saw that everyone's face was filled with excitement.
Everyone thought the same thing...
and walked in.
Chang Zhiming looked at the layout that was exactly the same as the Future offline store.
There was also the spectacular scene of the surging crowd that was exactly the same as the Future offline store. He
was a little dazed.
He subconsciously walked forward a few steps.
Then he saw the FuturePods placement area near the door.
"Hello, hello, hello?"
"Fuck!?"
"Can you hear it?"
"It's very difficult, very small!"
Several users were wearing headphones and shouting loudly.
Chang Zhiming immediately thought of what Lin Yao said at the press conference just now, that FuturePods can reduce noise even if it is not connected to Future S1 and PAD.
Almost without any hesitation,
he immediately picked up a FuturePods MAX.
Before putting it on,
he specially listened to the noisy sounds coming from the surroundings.
At that moment, he was a little skeptical about whether the so-called noise reduction of the headphones was useful.
However,
when the headphones were buckled,
the infrared sensor of the headphones detected his ears.
The noise reduction function was activated.
"..."
The noise
disappeared instantly.
Chang Zhiming opened his mouth slightly, and he immediately took off the headphones.
The noisy sound came again.
He put it on again.
Then he took it off again.
Then he put it on again...
After repeating this several times.
He stopped, put on the headphones, stared with wide eyes, and suddenly yelled: "Fuck!!!? Am I deaf!!!!!!?"
This roar
spread throughout the trial area.
Many people raised their heads.
Including a group of people wearing masks in front of the Future PAD trial area.
Yu Tianbo and Miao Yuan each held a Future PAD.
They were sliding, feeling the smooth system of the tablet and the mobile phone.
Feeling the application that sounded like black technology when Lin Yao introduced it just now...
The whole person was in a state of daze.
So when Chang Zhiming's roar came,
it was undoubtedly equivalent to a blow to the head.
The two woke up instantly.
Then.
The two saw Chang Zhiming switching between taking off and putting on the headphones again, and saw countless trial users with wide eyes.
The products they tried were all different.
But the expressions were the same.
Yu Tianbo and Miao Yuan were silent.
The other leaders of the Jiaming Alliance members behind them were also silent.
They stood there blankly, looking out of place and feeling like thorns in their backs.
Because at this moment,
they seemed to see a new king, a new king holding a sword...
and this new king had already placed the tip of the sword across their noses, announcing to them -
either die
or kneel down!
"..."
Suddenly,
Yu Tianbo's body shook.
The people behind him quickly supported him.
In any case,
this press conference and the Future S1 press conference
will probably become their lingering nightmares in the next few decades...
...
At the same time,
the heads of major investment institutions had much simpler ideas.
They did not try out the products on site.
But based on the previous performance of Linmu Studio and Youmei,
they already had the answer in their hearts.
The investors on the Jiaming Alliance side shook their heads and gave up the unrealistic idea.
Instead, they turned their attention to Youmei, the rising star.
As for those who had already paid attention to Youmei,
or the lucky ones who joined in the first round of financing...
Chenxi Capital.
Shang Zhuang sat in front of the computer, and even if the press conference was over, the screen was gone.
He was still looking at the screen.
He crossed his hands on his abdomen.
He looked like Maitreya Buddha.
At this moment, he was calm. He was calm in times of
crisis . These excellent qualities seemed to have disappeared from him. No one knew what he was thinking. But anyone standing in front of him could probably feel his mood at the moment. "Mr. Shang." At this time, there was a knock on the door.
His personal secretary came in, and then saw Shang Zhuang, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, and was stunned.
"What's the matter?"
Maitreya Buddha raised his head, his expression instantly restrained, and restored his majesty.
"Mr. Chen from Jingyuan Capital wants to meet with you."
The secretary looked through the schedule, and then asked, "Is it possible tomorrow?"
She knew that the two of them had a close personal relationship.
So she asked directly about the time, instead of asking whether they agreed to meet.
But unexpectedly.
"No."
Shang Zhuang shook his head and refused.
"...Ah?"
The secretary was stunned, and then her professional cultivation made her immediately straighten her expression and replied, "I understand."
"Well, go out..."
Shang Zhuang waved his hand, but just as the secretary turned around, he thought of something again: "By the way, what does the other party want to talk about when they meet?"
"It's about Youmei."
The secretary looked through the schedule again and replied.
In an instant, Shang Zhuang's mouth opened.
But he held back at the last moment. He
performed a face-changing in front of the secretary...
"Got it, go out."
Shang Zhuang waved his hand.
The secretary turned around and left with a strange look.
Open the door.
Leave.
Turn around and close the door.
The moment the door was completely closed.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
Shang Zhuang couldn't hold it anymore.
A hearty laugh.
Came from inside the office.
The secretary closed the door, blocking the laughter, and then whispered: "You're not that happy even when you have a son..."
And inside the office.
The secretary was right.
At this moment.
Shang Zhuang really felt that it was more worth being happy about than the birth of his own son!
In fact.
After the door was closed.
He was still laughing.
"Hahahahahaha..."
He stood up while laughing and looked out the window.
At this moment.
It was as if he was standing at the pinnacle of his life. He knew very well
why the person in charge of Jingyuan Capital looked for him. Because of Youmei, because of Linmu Studio, and because of the press conference just now. It was Youmei's first financing. Jingyuan Capital thought it was too expensive and that the dual-class share structure was an unequal treaty, so it did not participate in the game. And obviously. Now they regret it. Regret it very much. Why regret it? Because after this press conference. Youmei's market value is no longer 40 billion. Now, their market value has increased by at least 20 billion. This is still his conservative estimate. In fact, it is possible to double! It has not even been a year since the financing . The valuation has doubled . It is the first time for a company of this level to double its valuation in such a short period of time in this life. Shang Zhuang has completely confirmed that this is the most successful investment in his life. No doubt about it! Moreover, the shares of Youmei may become the most important asset of Chenxi Capital. No doubt about it! In this case, with the contrast of his peers, how could he not be happy. "Hahahaha... What expensive, what unequal treaty, go and regret it yourself!" Shang Zhuang laughed again: "If Youmei can keep it up, I can even call Lin Yao daddy!" At this moment, he was full of vigor and vitality . ... In fact, after the end of this press conference, Youmei's valuation in the industry has indeed doubled... and more than doubled! Because the first batch of trial users have already walked out of the venue. On the second day of the press conference, all the media that had some connection reported the same thing. That is, Youmei's new product launch conference—— [Incredible launch conference, Lin Yao is on the stage, Youmei's launch conference once again releases multiple new products! ]
[Future PAD, the best smart device between smartphones and laptops! ]
[FuturePods, the so-called noise reduction technology, what kind of black technology is it? ]
[A new situation in mobile payment, WeChat announced updates before the end of the year, and QR code payment is officially launched! ]
[Linmu Studio’s new mobile game, "Day of Reincarnation", a mobile game masterpiece overflowing with sincerity! ]
[A press conference directly doubled the valuation of Youmei Technology! ]
[The birth of a new king! ]
[…]
Various media.
Not stingy with praise.
Because these media have already tried the product.
On this day.
There was news about Youmei everywhere.
There was news about the press conference everywhere.
There was news about Lin Yao everywhere.
On this day.
Youmei Technology has completely become like Linmu Studio to games.
And everything.
Let that person appear in front of everyone again, that is-Lin Yao!
A girl who personally put the crown on Linmu Studio and Youmei.
The creator of all these miracles!
Sorry, it’s still late, post first and then modify
