There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 567 Fork

As the time goes.

  Everything is rushing in the established direction.

  After 4G was officially announced for commercial use, the popularity continued to soar.

  Although 4G is currently not attractive enough to consumers, most users are still not interested.

   After all, your speed of light is useless.

  You have to have a mature application scenario.

  Just like Lin Yao's previous life, after the advent of 5G, the speed is very fast.

   Everyone admits this.

   But even if you give me the speed of fiber optics, I still just play games and watch videos, which is not as good as 4G.

   What is the future?

   Let’s talk about it when the future comes!

   This is what most ordinary consumers think.

but.

  Consumer is one aspect.

  For enterprise manufacturers, it is another way of saying it.

  For them, 4G is a thing that can bring high added value to the product, can become a gimmick, and can also fight the future.

   Directly sought after...

   Even if they themselves feel that 4G is not very useful at present, it does not prevent them from speculating on concepts and fighting for the future.

   Especially mobile phone companies.

  After all... Whether it is Lin Yao's previous life or the mobile phone industry here, they are all very involved.

  When the various parameters of an industry are almost the same, some new selling points are always needed.

  There is also the existence of Jiaming Alliance here, which makes it difficult for everyone to make a different experience in the system, and can only pile up materials.

   But there is an end to this thing, and the design is becoming more and more consistent, and in the end it can only be fought by price.

  But this is not a long-term solution...

  So the emergence of 4G is indeed a very good selling point for many mobile phone manufacturers.

   As for whether to use it or not.

   Then talk about it later.

  Use selling points to grab users first, and then a new mobile communication technology is itself a battle for high-value users.

   For many mobile phone manufacturers.

   What is more important now is not to sell products, but to compete for the right to speak later.

so.

  After the release of the first mobile phone supporting 4G.

   Immediately after.

  Intensive new mobile phone announcement window is coming.

  Several major mobile phone manufacturers in China have announced their new mobile phones that support 4G, or they have not yet announced, but they have already begun to warm up.

   The first mobile phone to support 4G.

   seems to be a signal.

   Directly opened the prosperous age of many mobile phone manufacturers competing for beauty...

  In just one week, there were six companies that said they would launch new mobile phones one after another.

  Consumers are all confused.

   It was a bit better at the beginning, and I will go to see it out of concern.

   I'm a little annoyed at the back, so I don't even read it...

   As for why this is the case.

   is very simple.

  Currently, all manufacturers that announce support for 4G mobile phones are just supporting it...just supporting 4G.

   There is no supporting service at all.

  The mobile phone is still a mobile phone of the previous generation, so a selling point of supporting 4G was added, and then the appearance was changed, and a little more material was added, and then it was announced.

   Of course, it is not ruled out that there are more important projects within them.

   But at least for now, that is the case.

  That's all.

   And the mobile phone sold after changing the case will have an extra 4G, and ordinary users will be interested in it...

   You can afford to change your mobile phone, but you can’t afford to use data.

   And there are many cases like this.

   Soon, users feel that mobile phone manufacturers are cheating money, and the environment is not very good.

   Many people even said bluntly with dissatisfaction that when 4G is no longer a selling point, go buy a new mobile phone!

but.

  No matter how dissatisfied users are, they can’t stop the wheel of history rolling forward...

   After all, 4G is not only the business of mobile phone manufacturers, there are three giants on it.

  So the new 4G-enabled mobile phones, although users are not interested, but the concept of 4G is still popular.

   After all, no matter how dissatisfied the users are, they still have to face the overwhelming publicity... forced to receive 4G news.

   And many imaginations about 4G are varied.

  The substantial increase in 4G transmission rate will generate more service demand.

  Download a movie for tens of seconds, and the video site will be happy.

  What is the future of intelligent automobile industry? Driverless cars will become possible.

  What car hotspot has WIFI all the way.

   What else is online education, smart home, mobile games...

   In short.

  Imagine everything.

  But at present, no manufacturer has transformed these imaginations, even part of them, into reality.

  …

  4G speculation is raging.

   But for gamers, it doesn't matter much.

  The only thing that can be regarded as related is that in the past few days, a mobile phone manufacturer announced that its upcoming 4G mobile phone will cooperate with Tianhu to develop a mobile online game.

  This is not a small news.

  Many players saw this news, and they couldn't help but look forward to it

  Start to fantasize about being able to play MMORPG online games and the like on mobile phones.

  Although the shadow of the game has not been seen yet, the specific launch time has not been announced.

  But recently 4G has been hyped so hotly, it must be impossible for players to say that players are not excited at all.

  However, players' discussions on mobile online games were quickly poured cold water.

[Don’t talk about mobile phone online games, let’s not talk about network problems, and don’t talk about how such a few-inch screen can display the many contents of online games, just say a little... Take a look at the computer case around you, and then compare your mobile phones, This tm is the same thing? Are you sure that little mobile phone can run online games on your computer?

  So don’t think about it, I’m more inclined that Tianhu is just rubbing the heat, the game may not have been made yet, and there is not even a movie, even if it is made, it must be a shoddy work. I'm really looking forward to it, let's see what Linmu Studio will do next, they also bought a mobile phone factory, didn't they? 】

   Such a post, once sent out.

   Immediately attracted many players to reply.

   In addition to feeling that what the other party said makes sense, the player also because the poster who posted this post mentioned something that almost everyone has forgotten.

  That is—Linmu Studio acquired a mobile phone factory.

"That's right, I don't think you need to have too much expectations. 4G is just starting now, and the signal coverage is not even wide, let alone play mobile games on mobile phones. Even if the network is not a problem, the hardware will be a problem." questionable."

   "Yes, but Linmu Studio can look forward to it. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about their acquisition of a mobile phone factory."

"No, I hope that Linmu Studio will not join in the fun. Now they are in full swing and thriving. They not only have a gold-absorbing weapon such as the Vaporwave game platform, but also have the industry's top production capabilities on the online game end and stand-alone end. Continue to cultivate the existing 4G is really immature now, and the hardware is immature, so there is no need to do mobile online games at all.”

   "You can't say that, because they are now at the top of the pyramid, so they need to actively try, otherwise it will be too late! I think Lin Yao bought the mobile phone factory just to try, and I even suspect that they want to make mobile phones."

   "Don't be kidding, game companies make mobile phones... This is completely useless and thankless. Do you think Lin Yao is such a stupid person?"

"Unless she slaps her head...I am more willing to believe that Lin Yao just wants to try a new field-mobile online games, but this has nothing to do with us for the time being. The games announced at the next e-sports festival have not yet been released. Lin Yao seems to be doing well." Sober, so don’t worry too much, wait a year or two for them to produce results, and then go to test.”

   "..."

   Post below.

   Players are generally optimistic about Linmu Studio's mobile online game.

  However, most players don't care too much at the moment.

   After all, it's too confusing now...

  Major mobile phone manufacturers have changed their shells to sell mobile phones one after another, making most ordinary people disgusted with this kind of speculation.

  Because of this period of time, such operations have been staged too many times... Most of the things related to 4G are subconsciously labeled as hype.

   For example, Tianhu makes mobile online games.

  And most players in China still like Linmu Studio, they don’t want Linmu Studio to come out and lie in muddy water during this time,

   In fact.

  Linmu Studio did not disappoint them...

  The construction started during the Chinese New Year, and no major event was announced.

  During this period, it was just routine game operation and maintenance work.

  The appearance of making games wholeheartedly.

   It's like you don't know about 4G.

  It doesn't.

the next day.

   The new version 1.8 of "World of Warcraft" has been updated.

  Although it is a small update, the content is not much.

   But the players are still very excited.

  Because "World of Warcraft" has been updated in seven small versions before!

  Every small version will have more story lines.

  And these story lines all vaguely point to Outland and the Burning Legion...

  Many players have realized that next, this game may have big moves.

   Everyone is looking forward to it.

  So starting from 1.5, after the story gradually becomes clear, every time the minor version is updated, the players with full level will run the mission as soon as possible, and then share it with other players to guess what will happen in Azeroth next.

   This is already an old tradition of "World of Warcraft" players updating each version.

   Just this time.

   Minor version updates are a bit different.

  In addition to regular bug fixes, this version update also adds several storylines, about Illidan's...

   But that's not the point.

   The point is.

  In the evening of the same day.

   Some players found that the tavern owner started selling new things when visiting the tavern!

   It was an item called 'Fireside Party Ticket'.

   This item only needs one gold coin.

  But it cannot restore HP and mana, nor can it be used.

  The only function is to trigger the dialogue.

   After the player buys the ticket, the tavern owner will laugh heartily, and then a line of dialogue will pop up, saying: 'It is not easy to join this party'.

   Then, the answer page appears.

   Players start answering questions...

  There are fifty questions in total, and the time limit is ten minutes.

  The conditions are extremely harsh.

   And the problem is rare.

  Even if you rely on search engines, you may not be able to find the answer quickly.

   Although this item is sold for a limited time and in limited quantities, the current player base of "World of Warcraft" is indeed too large.

  So soon, some players discovered such a thing.

   After being confused, I immediately posted it on the forum.

  【Fuck! ? What is this? The tavern was refreshed suddenly! I bought it and started answering questions out of nowhere. You can give up, or you can answer the question, and then I got the wrong answer... This kind of dialogue appeared [picture]]

"'Looks like you won't be able to join the 'Fireside Party' first time, my old buddy is hosting an event for the first time, and what he needs is a party star who knows everything! You are not suitable for the time being.' ... Party star? Shit? Easter eggs ?”

   "It's definitely not an easter egg! It's Linmu Studio who is coming to Boda again! [Excited]!"

   "Which tavern? Why didn't I get it? Landlord! Tell me!"

   "It must be a big move! It must be! Damn it! Linmu Studio likes to play with these flowers! Where is the big answerer? Come on!"

   "Here comes the question! Hardcore players of "World of Warcraft" and "Warcraft"! Tell me how to buy this ticket first!"

"It seems to be randomly refreshed, and you can get some extra news by repeating the conversation with the tavern owner. This seems to be a large party, and the registration period is limited to these two days! I don't care, I will be squatting and waiting for a few days Refresh."

   "I'm squatting too! As expected of Linmu Studio, it seems that I'm going to start a new year! Those colleagues who stare at 4G every day learn a little bit! Make games for me!"

   "..."

soon.

  Mainstream player community.

   I don’t care about 4G anymore.

   Most players.

   They were all taken away by the recently updated little things in "World of Warcraft"...

  …

   "Fireside party... what the fuck."

at the same time.

  Sky fox.

  Mou Feng looked at the post on the screen and leaned back in his chair again.

   Very disappointed.

  He just saw the title of this post, and thought that Linmu Studio had stuffed the easter eggs of the mobile game into the online game.

   is very excited.

  But excitedly opened a look.

   Just see this...

   Of course disappointed.

  During this time, he was intensively searching for news about Linmu Workshop every day.

no way.

  The pressure from shareholders is increasing.

  Even if Li Guangsheng is on his side.

  Because of the mobile game they developed, the first trial version came out.

   Those who have played... are very dissatisfied.

  Because the performance was so poor.

   Not to mention freezing, frame dropping, and easy freezing.

  The operation is also very awkward.

  Although Mou Feng has repeatedly stated that this is only a trial version, but without the convincing evidence that "Linmu Studio is also optimistic", the intricate management of Tianhu obviously does not want Mou Feng to continue to promote this project.

   And face this situation.

  Mou Feng had no choice but to bear it, and at the same time begged God to worship Lin Yao...

   But alas.

  Linmu Studio seems to be really not interested in mobile games.

   Nothing happened.

   "..."

  Mu Feng thought of this, and sighed again.

   And then, just as he moaned.

  The phone on the table rang.

  Mou Feng took a look.

  Yu Tianbo, in the mobile phone circle, he is like a godfather.

   When discussing mobile online game cooperation before, I met once.

   Such thoughts circled in Mou Feng's mind.

   Then, he immediately picked up the phone and answered the call.

   "Haha, Brother Mou, I heard from Guangsheng that you are in trouble?"

  On the other end of the phone, Yu Tianbo asked briskly.

   Even the small talk was omitted, and we went directly to the topic.

   "I made you laugh."

  Mu Feng was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly, and replied.

  Although he was slightly surprised to hear Li Guangsheng's name, his tone did not change much.

   "What's funny about this, it's not like I haven't experienced such a period."

  Yu Tianbo on the other end of the phone smiled again, and continued: "I'm here this time to tell you good news."

   "Oh?" Mou Feng immediately sat up and became interested.

   On the other end of the phone, Yu Tianbo was very satisfied with his reaction and explained a few sentences.

   To put it simply, they Tianyu will announce that they will join forces with Tianhu Games to cooperate in depth and support Mou Feng to continue to develop "mobile online games" for mobile phones.

   But in exchange, Tianhu's "mobile online game" will only be allowed to log in to their Tianyu mobile phones within two years.

"This…"

   After listening to the other party's words, Mou Feng hesitated a little, and asked after a long time, "Are you referring to your company's 4G mobile phone?"

   "Yes." Yu Tianbo replied immediately.

   "This... to tell you the truth."

  Mou Feng pondered for a moment, and said truthfully: "We are developing a 'mobile online game', which is developed and tested with the latest 4G mobile phone of your company and Miao's head office, and the effect is not very good..."

"I know, so I have another request, which is that you need to streamline your mobile online game as much as possible. I actually tried the game, and it felt too complicated... You should make it playable as soon as possible before May. Well, for example, make the textures rougher and the gameplay simpler, it doesn’t have to be fun, but the networking function must be retained.”

Yu Tianbo directly interrupted Mou Feng, and continued: "You know what I mean? It's fine if you can play it, but it must be released in time to make it the first large-scale mobile game that supports 'outdoor 4G play', even if it's a sheep game." Selling dog meat..."

"what?"

  Mou Feng was shocked.

   Isn't this fooling people?

   "Little brother."

When Yu Tianbo heard Mou Feng's voice, he immediately knew what Mou Feng was thinking, and warned with a smile: "It is because Li Guangsheng thinks that you may not agree, that I tell you...you, you don't think that 4G is commercially available. In the early days, there will really be 4G mobile phones in the true sense? Or, you don’t think that the first purpose of our efforts to promote 4G mobile phones is to sell mobile phones, right?

Then you are too naive, I do not deny that 4G has a promising future, and I even guess that it will completely change our lives... Those complaints from users now also appeared when the mobile communication technology was upgraded a few years ago, and there was no movement. Small, but how did it end? Hasn't it been accepted by everyone in the end? So don't look at the complaints of current users, but 4G will definitely be accepted in the future.

   However, this will not come in the short term. Because not only does the operator's signal coverage take time to improve, but also because we are also exploring.

  I understand this truth, and so do my colleagues, but the future will not come so soon, we are still groping, should we just do nothing? This is definitely not the case. In the last iteration of mobile communication technology, the entire mobile phone industry was reshuffled. Those who did not keep up with the times fell down quickly and died terribly.

  Now that a new generation of mobile communication technology is coming, it is foreseeable that there will be another wave of reshuffle in the future. What should we do?

  I can’t give you a definite answer, but no matter what, let’s talk about it, it’s definitely right!

  We don’t need to run too fast, but we must not fall behind compared with our peers! For the right to speak in the future, even if we feel that 4G is just a gimmick at present, then we have to bite the bullet and release mobile phones with such a gimmick! "

  Mou Feng: "..."

   "So, got it?"

Yu Tianbo smiled and continued: "I might as well tell you the truth, according to our internal estimates, within the next year, there will not be a mobile phone that really takes advantage of 4G! There will not be one! Even if the relevant ecology is established No matter how fast, according to our estimation, it will take a year! But during this period, all peers, including our Tianyu, will release 4G mobile phones.

   Even if... users don't need it!

  Although I don’t understand the field of games, the reasoning must be the same. Since you are optimistic about the field of mobile online games, and mobile games have always been considered the future direction of 4G, then you can’t lag behind! Understand? Now at this time, it is the time to occupy the pit, and you have already moved very far.

  Other game companies will only realize that after the advent of 4G, mobile games seem to have a head start...but you have already made a trial version! Then you might as well speed up your pace! Be the first to log the game onto your phone! quality? Playable? These are insignificant compared with seizing the opportunity and quickly occupying the share. "

   "..."

  Mou Feng was silent.

have to say.

  Yu Tianbo's words are very convincing.

  He is really optimistic about the mobile online game market.

   And this market is currently a blue ocean.

  Sacrifice quality, seize the opportunity, quickly occupy share...

"How about it?"

  Yu Tianbo paused, and then finally asked.

   "Sorry, forget it."

  Mou Feng was silent for a long time, and suddenly gave a wry smile.

"…why?"

  When Yu Tianbo heard such words, his tone immediately changed, with dissatisfaction and a hint of disbelief.

   He also knows that users criticize them and sell the phone with a different case.

  Yu Tianbo also wants to change the status quo.

  Mobile online games are a good selling point.

   If we can cooperate with Tianhu, the new mobile phone announced in May will be much less controversial, and it can stand out among many 4G mobile phones.

  After all... We also have a mobile online game that can be played outdoors anytime, anywhere!

   Once this name is published, it will definitely become a gimmick.

   This is why he took the initiative to contact Tianhu.

   As for whether he can persuade them, Yu Tianbo is still very confident.

  Because he felt that it was impossible for normal people to refuse.

but now.

  Mou Feng refused.

   "Are you still relying on that forest studio?"

  Yu Tianbo also knows about Linmu Studio. He talked about it before, and at present, who is the boss in the domestic game market, there is really no need to check...

So after asking why, he immediately changed the topic and said: "You don't really think that they can produce something after buying a mobile phone factory, do you? Believe it or not, they may be like you now? They are still groping Stage? Even worse than you guys!?

   If you cooperate with us now, you can still seize the opportunity! When they catch up, you will compete with them! Do you still expect them to be your reason to persuade other shareholders? "

   "I'm not sure what they can produce by acquiring the mobile phone factory, and I don't know their progress. After all, there is no news at all. I really want to use them to convince shareholders..."

Mou Feng took a deep breath and replied softly: "But I reject your proposal, it has nothing to do with these things, and I understand all the reasons you said, but Mr. Yu...you seem to have forgotten one thing, we work with Tianhu and Lin Mu The room ratio is terrible, but we are also the second largest game company in China. And our games are also worse than the games of Linmu Studio. There are many flaws, but at least we have never fooled the players...

  We are not capable enough, and we may only be able to do that. We have also made a lot of compromises for the pressure of revenue. But at least every game, every game of our Tianhu, is at least a finished product. You asked me to make a semi-finished product to fool players with gimmicks... I really can't do it.

  And when I came back to Tianhu, I didn't come to do this kind of thing.

  You should talk to Li Guangsheng, if he agrees, then don't ask me...I should resign! "

   Say it.

  Mou Feng hung up the phone.

   directly made Yu Tianbo on the other end of the phone fly into a rage.

  However, Mou Feng didn't know about this.

  After he put down the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed expression on his face.

   But right now.

  The door to his office is pushed open.

   Li Guangsheng, who was already slightly bald, walked in suddenly and asked:

"Refused?"

   "Have you been listening?"

  When Mou Feng saw Li Guangsheng, he probably guessed it too.

   "Yeah." Li Guangsheng pulled the chair over and sat down, and nodded.

   "Yes, I declined. If you want to agree, you can contact him again."

Mou Feng smiled, and continued: "But if you must agree, I advise you not to agree to their monopoly request. There are so many mobile phone brands, and no one knows what 4G will be like. Monopoly does not mean anything to us. The benefits are only good for them..."

  Li Guangsheng shook his head and interrupted: "Who said I'm going to agree?"

  Mou Feng was stunned: "Didn't Yu Tianbo say you agreed..."

   "I just want him to ask your opinion, because I'm not sure about paying attention, but after listening to you, I think of our biggest competitor."

Li Guangsheng put his arms across his chest and said in a low voice: "I tried to put myself in another place and thought about it. I think they will definitely not do this, and their rise has never been based on taking share...Then let's forget it, we are now Going faster than your peers, you don’t need to use this method of killing one hundred enemies and destroying one thousand.”

Speaking of which.

  Li Guangsheng paused, and added:

   "And... when I called you back, I really didn't ask you to do this kind of thing."

  Mou Feng: "..."

this day.

  Someone at the fork... made a choice again.
