There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Chapter 587: Mobile payment and overseas offline stores

Chapter 587 Mobile Payment and Overseas Offline Stores

"Super Mario: Odyssey" release day.

Switch became popular again.

Because on the same day, a new hot search appeared on the hot search list—‘the game console area appeared in the Future offline store. '

In fact, this is not surprising.

Because in addition to the gameplay, the social attribute of Switch is also the most prominent feature of this host.

Both the design of the console and the game are very distinctive.

Before.

"Ring Fit Adventure" became popular once because of the combination of fitness and games.

Although the heat passed, it was quickly forgotten.

But it has proved that Switch, a console, is not only limited to the game circle, but also acceptable to ordinary people.

Future offline store is now hot again.

Offline stores attract more than just players.

There are many ordinary people.

Linmu Studio just chose to put the console in the Future offline store at the time when the new game is released.

Plus player influence.

It can be said that the right time, place and people are in harmony.

Switch is really not surprising.

This is also what Lin Yao has planned for a long time.

But for many people, this is still a very bizarre thing...

no.

Aren’t you a YouMedia technology financing?

How to benefit Switch?

Many game companies that make mobile games are very confused.

Everyone is planning to make a big splash in the field of mobile games.

Why did a Switch pop up all of a sudden? And suddenly became the representative of portable games?

Linmu Studio is definitely here to make trouble, right?

Yes.

With the emergence of the host area in the Future offline store, the topic fermented.

Now Switch is indeed more popular than mobile games.

Whether you are genuinely interested or eye-catching.

In short.

During this period of time, both social media and mainstream video sites have frequently mentioned Switch as a host.

There are people who shoot trial videos, people who check in on the spot, people who introduce previous Switch games, people who introduce the gameplay of this console, and people who use this console to record their weight loss process...

And these people jointly created the popularity of Switch.

And then let more people join in this 'game of chasing popularity'.

That day.

The comments Li Yu saw were not alone.

There are really many ordinary people, because of the novelty, after trying the host offline, they have a strong interest in it.

Switch's social attributes are fully revealed at this moment.

The influence brought by Future's offline store is also fully revealed.

Most people, are happy about it.

Ordinary people have new social topics, plus they are really interested in this host, and they are happy to talk about related topics.

And the players are happy to see this.

Because traditional games are making a comeback, definitely not dead yet.

certainly.

Most players still don’t care about this. What they are happiest about is the quality of the game “Super Mario: Odyssey”.

What surprised them the most was still the quality of this game.

This is considered by many players to be a new game in the era of mobile games, where Switch decides life and death, and it did not disappoint at all.

Really... so awesome.

And inside Linmu Studio, they are also happy. Switch has become a hot topic, which has greatly boosted the sales of consoles and games.

Especially co-op play.

Sales have increased considerably.

You can imagine who bought these games.

certainly.

Some people are happy, some people are not happy.

For example, many game companies targeting mobile games are not very happy.

They really felt that Linmu Studio was here to make trouble!

Don’t you make mobile phones?

Why all the fanfare to let the Switch steal the limelight?

Still doing this during the period of rapid development of FutureS1.

It is up to you whether to read or not to read mobile games!

They can't figure it out.

The new shareholders of UMedia Technology also have some complaints about this.

There are mainly two points.

The first is that the FutureS1 offline store is theoretically the property of Youmedia Technology, and Switch has nothing to do with Youmedia.

Although the major shareholder of UMedia is Linmu Studio, it does have the feeling of using power for personal gain.

Secondly, they also feel that this is the period of rapid development of FutureS1.

Mobile games are also the development focus of FutureS1.

After all, depending on the revenue, the FutureStore draws a lot of money.

So many of these new shareholders don’t like Switch very much.

I feel that the host is stealing the limelight.

Actually, this is also understandable.

After all, money was invested.

Linmu Studio only raised funds from UMedia Technology. Of course, they must protect their own interests.

but.

Now Linmu Studio is still very strong, and FutureS1 is also developing smoothly, so although they have some criticisms, they are not too excited.

The main thing is the dual shareholding structure, which greatly weakens their right to speak.

And capital, patience is still there.

But according to Zhang Youjie's words, the group of shareholders now has a tendency to form a group, and they are already psychologically prepared to prevent Linmu Studio from doing anything wrong next time.

Lin Yao can understand this, but she really feels quite speechless.

Although she is already mentally prepared.

It can only be said that fortunately, Linmu Studio is still in absolute control.

As for YouMedia…

Actually tell the truth.

Lin Yao is still confident that he can suppress these capitals.

As long as FutureS1 can go all the way up.

Then no matter how they hold together, they can't stop her.

As for their claim that Switch will hinder the development of FutureS1, that is nonsense. She is calmer than anyone else in the face of the current situation.

Regardless of the fact that the Switch is very popular now, but the follow-up popularity has passed. During this period of time, the hosts purchased by users have a very high probability of being ruined.

to be honest.

Socialization is just one of the attributes of the Switch console. After all, the console still plays games.

The main audience is still players.

As for the impact on the development of mobile games, that's even more unlikely. These are two different things.

The general trend of mobile games cannot be blocked by Switch.

The reason why Lin Yao put Switch in the Future offline store is not only for topic and sales, but mainly for overseas offline stores.

Zhang Youjie actually explained this.

But most of the new shareholders are skeptical.

can only say.

It will take some time to build trust with each other.

So Lin Yao can understand their actions in the early stage, and doesn't care too much.

At most, he was speechless for a while.

certainly.

Do this again in the future.

Then don't blame her.

…

The board of directors ended after YouMedia’s first financing.

Linmu Studio.

Lin Yao also completed the planned game plan.

Handed it over to Product.

Back to the office again.

Lin Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally unloaded the stone in my heart.

It's really too difficult.

Especially the planning book for "Game Stars Smash Bros."

The gameplay of this game is simple, but it is necessary to determine which game characters appear, understand the history of the characters and their stories, and then choose a suitable attack method from them...

It's really a big project.

But she had to.

Because there must be a direction for the project team and business departments to work hard.

They can’t be like headless chickens and just play whatever roles they talk about, can they?

This is simply not possible.

so.

During this time, Lin Yao was really in pain.

I stay in the office every day, either playing games or looking up information and code words.

It's like going to jail.

The only person who comes to visit the prison every day is Mu Wanqing.

And every day when you let the wind go, you can only see Linxi...

fine.

All efforts are worth it.

Lin Yao has already set up the general framework of the game.

Next, it depends on the project team and business department.

She was temporarily relieved.

"Miss Mu, next time I don't want to do this kind of game again."

Lin Yao was lying on the table, limp, as if she had lost all strength.

She was really exhausted.

"Know it."

Mu Wanqing stood aside, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help laughing: "I also read the planning book, this game is very difficult to make, but if it is really made, it is probably enough to leave a name in the history of the game, no matter what Will we make similar games in the future?"

"of course."

Lin Yao changed her posture and lay on her stomach facing Mu Wanqing, her soft face was squeezed, matching her lazy expression with a special charm, very attractive.

Mu Wanqing looked at it, couldn't help reaching out, and lightly touched Lin Yao's delicate face on the other side.

Lin Yao shook her head lightly.

"If you lie on your stomach like this, there will be marks on your face later."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently, then reached out to smooth the skirt, squatted down next to Lin Yao, looked at her lying on her stomach, and said softly, "Now you are a celebrity, isn't this appropriate?"

"What kind of stereotype is this."

Lin Yao looked at her and said lazily, "Am I not human? Can I lie down when I'm tired?"

"Then when will you cheer up? I still have something to say." Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly.

"Wait a little longer."

Lin Yao closed her eyes: "You won't give me this little time."

"..."

Mu Wanqing didn't speak.

Of course she will not force Lin Yao to get up.

However, she didn't get up herself, but looked at Lin Yao who was lying prone in front of her.

Recently, as midsummer approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

So it is rare for Lin Yao to wear a skirt.

No occlusion.

Mu Wanqing could clearly see the perfect curve of her pair of snowy long legs under the table, and following the curve of her calf all the way down, the high-heeled sandals outlined a wonderful arc of her arch.

It really looks good.

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was laying on her stomach with her eyes closed and meditating in front of her, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "You are really suitable for skirts..."

"Just like you are suitable for black silk?"

Lin Yao suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Mu Wanqing who was squatting in front of her, her black silk was tight, and a flesh-colored knee was exposed, she couldn't help laughing.

"More suitable than me."

Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly, then moved forward, resting her chin on the edge of the table, looking at Lin Yao's charming face.

"Then how about I change it with you?" Lin Yao put Xue Ni's long legs together, lifted them up slightly, and made a suggestion: "I haven't seen you wearing a skirt other than a skirt."

"Yes, as long as you want."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently, stretched out her hand to gently hold Lin Yao's slender calf, and subconsciously moved her head forward: "But you definitely don't want to."

Lin Yao felt the breathing on her face, and slightly raised her snow-white thigh that was being held, her calf was tense.

Hoo.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Only the faint sound of breathing remains.

Lin Yao felt her face itch, then adjusted her posture, and moved towards Mu Wanqing.

The distance between the two is very close.

Mu Wanqing lightly pursed her shiny red lips, then hesitated for half a second, then suddenly closed her eyes, and held Lin Yao's calf even harder.

"...I really don't want to."

Lin Yao smiled lightly, then straightened up suddenly.

Mu Wanqing: "..."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Yao said with a straight face: "This is the company, it's business..."

Then she paused, and continued in a low voice: "I'll talk about it later."

"What can we talk about later?"

Mu Wanqing suddenly tilted her head, and joined the army instead.

"Don't know! Let go of my legs, I'm ticklish."

Lin Yao lightly kicked Xue Ni's long legs under the table, then reached out to pull Mu Wanqing up: "Also, get up quickly."

Mu Wanqing held Lin Yao's hand, supported the table with the other hand, and stood up from the ground with a smile.

But after getting up, she didn't let go of Lin Yao's hand.

Both of them seem...easy to understand.

Some window papers are getting thinner and thinner as they get along for a long time.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Lin Yao leaned against the back of the chair, changed a comfortable position, and asked a question.

"PTCRB passed, and other relevant certifications have passed."

Mu Wanqing gently took her hand, straightened her expression, and talked about business: "The store in Los Angeles is also closed."

"Oh?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard this: "Did those shareholders contribute?"

"Yeah." Man Wanqing nodded.

"Then it seems that they are still useful."

Lin Yao is a little happy.

The so-called PTCRB is actually an operator access certification. No matter what kind of mobile phone, whether it is in China or overseas, if you want to sell it, you cannot bypass the communication operator.

Lin Yao was actually preparing for overseas markets before the FutureS1 press conference.

The first batch of offline stores not only in China, but also overseas.

But the relevant certification is really too much trouble.

YouMedia, which was born out of the North American branch of Linmu Studio, has always been uncertain.

Mainly just entered the game, the scale is not large.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yao decided to raise funds.

Now that the certification has passed, it means that the mobile phone can finally be sold overseas, at least in North America!

"Well, several suppliers are also interested in reaching a long-term contract with us, which is also the credit of the new shareholders."

Mu Wanqing nodded.

"That's preparation."

Lin Yao thought for a moment, and made up her mind: "Offline stores will open normally and sell normally, but our focus should not be on offline in the early stage. We still need to rely on the sales channel of Switch to start online sales first."

"I understand that the marketing department on YouMedia is already connecting with us and Forest Tree Financial Holdings."

"That's good…"

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said happily: "Finally, we can try to open up overseas markets. Then, apart from the press conference at the end of the year, we only have one thing to solve urgently."

"Which thing?" Mu Wanqing was a little curious.

"that is…"

Lin Yao was about to speak.

But the next second.

Sudden…

Ding!

【Congratulations! Encouraging tasks, let the game fans of Linmu Studio have confidence in the future again! (Satisfaction has reached more than 90%, and the current satisfaction rate is 97%)—mission accomplished! 】

【Congratulations! Get rewards - mobile phone-related research and development projects will receive accelerated BUFF】

【Congratulations! Considering the extraordinary performance of Linmu Studio (97% satisfaction), an additional reward - mobile payment system construction plan (to be received)]

【…】

Lin Yao looked at the words that appeared in front of her eyes, and was slightly taken aback.

"Lin Yao?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was suddenly dazed, a little strange.

Lin Yao came back to her senses and continued: "That's... the construction of the mobile payment system!"

"Mobile payment?"

Mu Wanqing was a little puzzled.

Lin Yao withdrew her gaze from the translucent description in front of her, looked at Mu Wanqing, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, haven't many users said recently? FutureStore is too troublesome to buy paid apps."

"But there is no way." Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment: "It is definitely impossible for us to change the financial system."

"There is a way."

Lin Yao shook her head lightly, looked at the translucent explanation in front of her again, and continued: "It's just more troublesome and risky, but we can try it on a small scale first, from Linmu Studio, Linmo Financial Holdings and Youmedia According to our size, we still have a good chance of persuading them to connect with them...It just happens to be available at the end of the year."

"..." Mu Wanqing was even more puzzled.

Seeing Mu Wanqing's expression, Lin Yao knew that it would be difficult to explain clearly to her in a few words, so she smiled and explained in detail.

Actually mobile payment.

Lin Yao has long wanted to build it.

But... really troublesome.

This trouble not only comes from within, but also from a higher level.

Finance has always been very sensitive.

Lin Yao's mobile payment in her previous life was so convenient in the end, it was the result of the joint efforts and regulation of several giants.

The time is not up, so do it rashly, in fact, mobile payment will not be much more convenient.

Give the simplest example.

The disconnected direct connection in her previous life—that is, the mode in which the third-party payment institution cut off the direct connection to the bank.

No private company can take the initiative to advance.

What will mobile payment look like before the direct connection is broken?

The third-party payment institution is directly connected to the bank.

This means that such a third-party payment cannot monitor the real flow of funds and cannot figure out whether the transaction really exists...

This is really a very troublesome thing.

It is easy to be illegally used.

Rather, money is involved.

There is nothing that is not troublesome.

Lin Yao has not made up her mind, because she is thinking of a solution.

Now that the system rewards her, it gives her a little confidence and makes him really make up his mind.

soon.

Lin Yao finished explaining.

After hearing this, Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she said in disbelief: "This..."

"It's convenient, isn't it?"

Lin Yao smiled: "The consumption is paid by the complicated online banking U-shield, which has become a virtual account."

Yes.

Lin Yao intends to build a virtual account payment system.

To put it simply, it is the mobile payment solution in her previous life before she matured.

A virtual account is an electronic wallet, essentially a prepaid card.

Now online banking payment still needs to plug in a U-shield or the like into the computer, and then enter a dynamic combination password.

But with virtual accounts.

will allow users, at least those who purchase Linmu Studio products, to directly enter the password to pay.

Mu Wanqing thought about it carefully, and asked, "But it's not easy to set up, right? In any case, the user's money must have a recharge step, and if it supports withdrawal, it will be even more troublesome..."

"Yes, so in order to solve this problem, we will be busy next. To make users more convenient, we will conduct business negotiations with the online banking systems of multiple banks one by one, and let them connect with our payment system."

Lin Yao explained: "It is necessary to open corporate accounts in multiple banks...in order to improve settlement efficiency and reduce settlement costs."

This is the difficulty of the pioneers.

Must overcome obstacles.

Only then can Lin Yao's seemingly simple goal in her previous life be achieved.

"..." Mu Wanqing finally understood the mobile payment system Lin Yao was talking about, and then couldn't help but gasped.

"Of course, trouble is trouble, but if it can really be built, I predict that it will amaze everyone by the end of the year..."

Lin Yao saw the rare cute expression on the face of Mu Wanqing, the royal sister, and smiled lightly: "How is it? Are you confident?"

"Have."

Mu Wanqing came to her senses and nodded.

"Then get ready, accompany me to Youmedia tomorrow, and then coordinate the three companies, let people go to the bank for business negotiations, and then I will be busy."

Lin Yao stood up: "If you want to go online at the end of the year, you will be even more busy. First, you need to coordinate internally, set up the payment system, set up the settlement department, then do business negotiations, and then you have to consider the launch announcement...

Be prepared, no matter how good the plan is, there is a risk of breaking away from the plan. After all, ecology is mostly grown under the fierce market competition environment and the pressure of survival and development. "

"...I'm more worried about you."

Mu Wanqing nodded, then looked at Lin Yao's face, hesitated for a moment: "Are you really busy?"

"It didn't work before."

Lin Yao shook her head, then glanced at the virtual translucent font, then focused on Mu Wanqing's face, and said with a smile: "But don't you have your help now?"

Mu Wanqing pursed her red lips, and held her hand tightly: "..."

Sunlight shines on the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lin Yao turned her back to the sun and smiled brightly.

…

A week later.

Linmu Studio established a sub-division.

But this time it didn't attract too much attention.

Because Linmu Studio did not disclose what this sub-department is used for.

Plus this is an internal matter of Linmu Studio.

Linmu Studio is not on the market again.

So don't talk about outsiders.

Many staff of Linmu Studio don't know what this new department, separated from all product departments, does.

And at the same time.

The business department of Linmu Studio made an appointment with the senior management of the main bank.

Lin Yao personally met with the other party.

And this meeting.

also did not make any waves.

but.

Lin Yao's goal has been achieved...

Because the annual turnover of Linmu Studio is terrible, the other party did not refuse Linmu Studio's request for online banking access, which is not too much.

certainly.

This is just the main bank of Linmu Studio.

The next business negotiation with other banks is the most troublesome.

There is a long way to go...

Except for the frequent internal movements of Linmu Studio.

External.

Other companies are also doing a lot.

finally.

Switch's popularity has subsided a little.

The many game companies who really thought that Linmu Studio was going to wave the Switch vs. mobile games finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can boldly advance other mobile game projects.

Although many of them don't want to admit it.

But every move of Linmu Studio does affect them.

And Linmu Studio has dual identities as the major shareholder of Youmedia and the leader of traditional games. After the first six mobile games, it has not launched a new mobile game.

So they are right to worry.

Actually.

Although the popularity of Switch has subsided slightly.

But many colleagues are still worried that Linmu Studio is not optimistic about mobile games.

And this situation lasted until now.

A player burst out.

North American version of the Vaporwave game platform, there is a pre-order for FutureS1!

Yes.

Now.

North America also supports FutureS1 online ordering!

the same day.

The news of the official opening of the Future offline store in North America has been reported again!
