Chapter 39 Interesting

Yang Huan temporarily suppressed his doubts, took over Huang Ying's words and continued.

"In fact, what Huang Ying said can basically represent the thoughts of female players."

"In the past, many people thought that playing games was only for teenage boys, but this is totally wrong!"

At this point, Yang Huan smiled confidently at everyone and said, "I can guarantee that in more and more business fields, the weight of female compatriots is rapidly increasing, and the weight they occupy is also constantly increasing. This is true for football and games as well."

"According to an assessment conducted by an authoritative newspaper not long ago, since the rise of mobile devices and smartphones, the number of women playing games has been rising strongly, reaching nearly 40 percent in 2010, and is expected to approach half of the total number by 2014."

When Yang Huan said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"How is this possible?" Zhu Liangcheng was a little bit unbelievable.

Even Huang Ying herself didn't believe it. Even though she was a staunch supporter of her female compatriots, she herself was doubting whether women really had such an important position, at least in the field of gaming?

"Yes, Master Huan, this is impossible. People who play games are basically teenage males. This is a consensus."

"Fuck the consensus. If the person who came up with it was right, he would have been rich long ago. Why would he need to be an expert professor? Isn't it because he can't make it that he is forced to become a researcher?"

Yang Huan was a little angry. Why did they all look down on their female compatriots?

"Think about it carefully. In terms of social division of labor, female compatriots have more fragmented time to play games. In the past, they may not like to play games because they are not good at computer operation or complicated computer games. But now there are simple and easy-to-operate mobile games. Will they not like it?"

"I can tell you with certainty that female gamers not only like to play games, but their desire to pay for the games they like to play is not inferior to that of male gamers, but is far higher than that of male gamers."

"Also, think about this: all men in the world have the same character. On the one hand, they like to hang out with women, and on the other hand, they like to prove that they are better than women. If these female players share their progress and experiences in the game on Facebook, Weibo, WeChat Moments and other platforms, it will definitely attract more male players."

"Male players like to show off in front of women because in many people's subconscious, games are easily equated with intelligence and personal ability. If we create rankings based on the number of stars and achievements obtained by users, it will inevitably stimulate more players to collect stars and show off on social platforms."

"Finally, we divided the difficulty of clearing a level into three levels. One star and two stars are very simple and easy, while three stars are relatively difficult. We then designed some more difficult levels to promote in-app purchase items."

"Also, everyone likes graffiti, DIY, and making themselves unique. These are the selling points of paid props. Also, we can make the little dragon cuter and more adorable to cater to female players, and then develop some paid props and peripherals for this little dragon."

Yang Huan's words impressed Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin so much that they had to admit that Yang Huan was indeed better than them in understanding the players' hearts.

Perhaps, this is because Yang Huan himself is a wealthy man!

After more than half an hour of retreat, Yang Huan came up with a relatively complete set of ideas. Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin were very impressed and ordered their subordinates to immediately make improvements according to Yang Huan's requirements and strive to complete the game as soon as possible.

"Hey, female academic bully."

This meeting came suddenly and ended suddenly.

Yang Huan asked them to take advantage of this period of brainstorming to think of ways to improve the game, and left Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin to accompany them.

"What female academic tyrant?" Huang Ying's face turned red. Why was this person talking so frivolously again?

Yang Huan laughed, "I heard from Lao Huang that you have good grades. We usually call people like this "student tyrants."

"I have a name. My name is Huang Ying."

"I know." Yang Huan smiled and walked towards the reception area.

Huang Ying, Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin all hurried to follow.

Then Yang Huan picked up an IPHONE phone, which was the one Huang Ying had just played with.

After turning on the phone screen, I took a look and was amazed.

"Wow, what's your brain made of?" Yang Huan pointed at Huang Ying, his face full of disbelief.

"What structure?" Huang Ying felt like he was cursing.

"Lao Zhu, Lao Wang, she has broken through all the levels you carefully designed." Yang Huan said, pointing at Huang Ying.

When Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin heard this, they were both surprised, "They're all broken?"

"Look for yourselves." Yang Huan pointed at the iPhone that Huang Ying had just played with.

Zhu Liangcheng didn't quite believe it, so he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the phone, and returned to the rope-cutting game interface. When he took a look, he was shocked. There were only two major levels in total, and she had actually passed them!

"It seems like only ten minutes." Zhu Liangcheng calculated the time Huang Ying spent playing games.

Yang Huan laughed, "So, all of you grown men combined are not as smart as a little girl. I feel ashamed for you!"

When Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin heard this, they felt so embarrassed that they also wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Huang Ying didn't understand what was going on and was confused as she listened. Wasn't it just a game? Why was it made so serious?

"Master Huan, you can't really blame us. We have to do this and that, and we're not professional game level designers. We certainly can't design it as well as the professionals." Wang Lin complained miserably.

"That's right, Master Huan, we need to recruit more people, at least professionals." Zhu Liangcheng also felt aggrieved.

Yang Huan knew what was going on, and he also knew that he had to expand his recruitment efforts. However, it was not easy to recruit gaming professionals, especially some outstanding talents, who were all treasures.

At this moment, there is a talent shortage in the mobile game field, and it is the same all over the world.

So he didn't say much. After all, he had to understand the difficulties of his subordinates. Looking at Huang Ying, he suddenly thought of a question, "Hey, beautiful lady."

"What?" Huang Ying disliked him very much and even admitted for the first time that she was a beauty.

She just called herself a female academic master, and now she turns around and calls herself a beauty. This girl is too talkative and not honest.

Yang Huan took a closer look and found that her appearance was not as delicate and beautiful as Zhang Ning's. In terms of appearance alone, she was slightly inferior to Zhang Ning and was similar to Charlene Lahiri. But the difference was that she exuded a very unique scholarly temperament, and her eyes and her manners gave people a very intelligent feeling.

Only after seeing her did Yang Huan believe that intelligence can add points to beauty.

"You know how to solve these levels, but do you know how to design them? It's just like designing those buildings."

Yang Huan thought to himself, if he knows how to break things, he should know how to design them.

Moreover, she also studied design.

“I don’t know. I haven’t tried it. I studied architectural design. I…” Huang Ying found it nonsensical. What kind of logic was this guy?

Can designing buildings be the same as designing game levels?

Yang Huan clapped his hands on his thighs and stood up. "That's easy. If you haven't tried it, go and try it. We have something ready-made here."

"But I came to show you some plans for a riverside villa, and I..."

"Take your time with these things. The house and the land are there and they won't go away. But I'm in a hurry for these things, so please help me first." Yang Huan didn't say anything more. He walked up to her, took her hand and walked to the middle of the living room.

"Don't worry, if you can really help, I will hire you to join my studio with a high salary. If you do a good job, I will give you a promotion and a raise. You can be promoted to general manager, become CEO, marry a tall, rich and handsome man, and reach the peak of your life."

Zhu Liangcheng, who was standing by, almost wanted to cry when he heard this. She was promoted and got a raise to become the general manager, but what about me?

Before Huang Ying could figure out what was going on, Yang Huan grabbed her hand and pulled her hard. She involuntarily followed him towards the living room.

She finally understood why Zhang Ning always looked helpless whenever he mentioned Yang Huan.

Perhaps, this young master did not force her on anything emotionally, but he must have forced her hard on doing things in her daily life.

Just like now, he thought that people who knew how to crack game levels should know how to design levels, so he asked Huang Ying to design game levels. Huang Ying was usually well-behaved and obedient, so how could she have been coerced like this?

In addition, her parents now work for Yang Huan, and she dared not disobey Yang Huan's request, so she started designing.

What's more, she designed a level very quickly.

This level actually does not have too many complicated elements. The little monster is placed at the top in the center, and the candy is below it, hung by four ropes. Two of the three stars are on the left and right of the candy, and the last one is at the bottom of the screen, with a bubble that can float up.

"Let me try." Wang Lin was a little dissatisfied that the level he had carefully designed was broken so easily, so he was the first to ask for a try.

As a result, as soon as Wang Lin sat down, he quickly cut the two ropes and ate two stars, but he could not get the star on the right side of the candy. He tried again and again but failed.

"Can I eat the third star?" Wang Lin tried nearly ten times, but failed every time.

Huang Ying just nodded and said, "If you grasp the timing well, you can eat it." She felt a little satisfied as she spoke.

It turns out that the female academic master also has a noble side.

After listening to Huang Ying's words, Wang Lin tried several more times, but failed every time.

"Try it yourself." Finally, Wang Lin used his trump card.

Huang Ying smiled brightly, sat down, and under the gaze of all the boys in the audience, she passed this level in one go.

This time, Wang Lin was speechless.

Yang Huan had a different feeling. It was easy to get two stars in this level, but difficult to get three stars. This was a typical example of being easy to learn but difficult to master. This was very important in mobile games as it could attract more users.

"Interesting." Yang Huan smiled and walked back to the reception area.

Huang Ying also followed Yang Huan back to the reception area, leaving Zhu Liangcheng, Wang Lin and others to continue studying this level there.

In fact, even if they knew the process of cracking the level, they still couldn't crack it. The key is to grasp the timing.

And the feeling of being just a little bit short every time makes them try again and again.

"Are you studying design?" Yang Huan asked with a smile after Huang Ying sat down.

Huang Ying nodded, took the file bag next to her, opened it, and took out a stack of documents, including some of her design drawings, and handed them to Yang Huan.

Zhang Ning had admired Huang Ying’s designs before, and Wangjiang Pavilion adopted her previous designs. Yang Huan also appreciated this design style that combined modern people’s appreciation and integrated traditional Chinese elements, so he wanted Huang Ying to try to design the house.

He recently bought a plot of land on the banks of the River Itchen in Southampton, intending to build a house.

He certainly can't stay in a hotel all the time, can he?

But these are not the most important things right now. The most important thing now is that this female academic can also design game levels.

"Put these aside for now. Let me ask you a few questions first." Yang Huan was anxious to launch Cut the Rope, but the problem was that there were very few professional gaming talents in the studio, and Huang Ying, a top student, could undoubtedly fill the gap.

"What's the problem?" Huang Ying was a little wary of Yang Huan.

"Do you want to do a part-time job?" Yang Huan tried his best to appear more eager to learn.

"Part-time job?" Huang Ying didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question.

In fact, the first thing that came to her mind was the part-time job advertisements on the telephone poles.
