I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 338 Arthur Starts the'Money Printing Machine'

Arthur, who was drinking fried liver, was seen as a novelty by the people around him, but Arthur did not take it seriously, and had missed this bite for a long time.

However, the two Bells who accompany each other are helpless. For foreigners who have never eaten offal, it is difficult to accept food. Fried liver is mostly made of pig offal with secret sauce. However, because the internal organs always have a bloody smell, it is said that the two Bells have not even tasted it.

Arthur didn't blame them. After all, even people from other provinces in the celestial dynasty couldn't accept the scrambled liver, so Arthur understood how helpless Bell and the two were and sympathized with them.

After eating and paying the bill, Arthur was contented to watch with strange gazes, with two stern-faced, burly tall bodyguards, and left with a smile, leaving behind a strange sound of discussion. Perhaps this scene happened today. Will become a bragging talk for many people.

For Arthur, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a French meal or a roadside stall. As long as it is delicious, he will not be picky. He can drink coffee, garlic, and English afternoon tea. Love dim sum boxes, of course, there are also unacceptable ones. For example, tofu nao must be drunk with salty brine, as for sweet ones, you can only hehe...

Back at the Jingcheng Hotel, Fried Liver replaced Arthur who had afternoon tea, drinking coffee, turning on the laptop, connecting to the Internet, and preparing for a video conference.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, around nine o'clock in the morning London time, the video window lights up, and Arthur's figure appears on the projection screen in the conference room of the London game studio.

"Happy New Year, everyone."

"Happy New Year, boss."

After the video was connected, Arthur greeted with a smile on his face, and everyone in the meeting room also greeted the boss of Yuan Zai Tianchao in unison.

After the greeting, Edward reported the good news to Arthur with an excited smile, "Boss, good news, so far, "Fruit Knight" has sold more than one million copies, it is a miracle!"

"Yeah, it's incredible. We are checking Apple's rankings every hour and admiring the record of "Fruit Knight". We are really so excited..."

Before Arthur came, the other'designers' in the conference room sighed with excitement, and the discussion made the meeting a little noisy.

However, Arthur was not upset about this. Instead, he smiled and watched all this happen. He said, "Congratulations, everyone, you have made an explosive model. tour!"

"This is the boss, your creativity is good..."

"Or the boss, your plan is excellent."

Everyone in the conference room naturally knew that "Fruit Knight" was excellent, mainly because of the creativity of the boss, and they would naturally not shamelessly think that it was their own credit.

As the first mobile game that makes full use of the special features of the love crazy mobile phone.It seamlessly connects game form and content.Some media and players even call it a touch screen.It is also reasonable to create a little miracle in the history of game design as soon as it hits the market.

"Strike while the iron is hot, publicity, and marketing must keep up. There are not many game apps like "Fruit Knight" that are suitable for players over 2 years old. We must take advantage of this hot situation and strive to build it as an iOS platform user. A must-play game.

At the same time, we must also launch the Android version, the Microsoft version, etc. as soon as possible. We want to make it a real national game among smart phone games.Are you confident?"Arthur asked encouragingly.

"Have!"

Hearing the confident and unanimous answers from his subordinates, the smile on Arthur’s face grew brighter. One million copies were sold in such a short period of time, which is definitely not a small number for the current mobile game market. And everyone, including Arthur, believes that in the coming time, the sales of this game will grow even more rapidly.

As a paid mobile game, 0.99 US dollars, the price of less than one US dollar is definitely a conscience price. Although the selling price is cheap, Arthur has put the bulk of the profit of "Fruit Knight" on in-game purchases from the beginning.

Maybe if you collect money from both ends, some people will think Arthur is too dark, well, Arthur admits that he is black.

However, in order not to disgust the players, the game’s in-app purchase mall was stolen by Arthur and turned into a value-added service, such as a sword with special functions and more colorful and distinctive background scenes, instead of the obvious purpose. Selling gold coins and special props...

In this way, players really don't have too much complaints about the game's death demands, because whether in-app purchases or in-app purchases will not affect the game's playability.

"Boss, the sales of our in-app purchase mall have exceeded US$300,000, which means that among the 1 million downloads, 20% of players have purchased props or backgrounds.

"Fruit Knight" currently has a profit of $1.1 million."Stupid Birds Fly" made a total profit of 5.63 million US dollars. After deducting the cost of signing celebrity endorsements, North American promotional expenses and British Christmas advertising expenses, our studio's profit in 2009 was 2.73 million US dollars."

With a smile on his face, Edward reported to Arthur with great joy and emotion. With the reports of these numbers, the people in the conference room were even more happy. They couldn't think of the newly established small game work. Room, can make so much money.

And Arthur was not surprised by this. Only then did he get there, whether it was the game studio where Zeng Zhi or Angry Birds was located, did not the market value soar above 100 million after it became popular?

"Hehe, soon, now that you are making money, let’s celebrate it... Let’s just make up for a year-end party for everyone. All the employees of the studio will go to Fiji Island for a week’s vacation. Everyone enjoys drinking and eating. Roast the whole pig on a skewer, relax!"

"Long live!"

"Boss, I love you!"

"Long live the boss!"

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, everyone in the conference room cheered excitedly. Arthur saw the happy and excited people, and his face also showed a bright smile.

Although the current game studio has successfully developed and the games being developed are all from his creativity, the group of people under him are young, but very good, and they are very dedicated and hardworking at work. Overtime is the norm. Never even heard complaints, full of vitality.

Arthur knew that people like them most yearn for creative freedom and a working environment full of genius.And Arthur wanted to make his studio a holy land for the entire game industry. Therefore, the organizational structure of the studio has always been flat, without any middle management, except for the only person in charge, Edward. All are treated equally.

Because once there is middle-level management, these “designers” who are full of genius ideas and need to stimulate QING need to endure the middle-level stance on the project, and the middle-level is often airborne, and endless meetings will make designers suffer. Suffering, limiting their thinking, Arthur than everyone knows, now maybe he can rely on foresight to come up with some game planning, but one day, his own thinking will not be able to keep up with the company's development and the pace of the times.

In the end, it is necessary to rely on these professional talents to help him make money, so Arthur decided to turn his game studio into an open company from now on.

"I am going to implement the "producer dedicated team" policy in the company! From the beginning of the studio, I wanted to build the studio into a designer-driven company.

What I hope is that the production team has more control over the game, rather than being in the hands of a few people.Because I believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, I hope to promote this atmosphere.

We must focus on the future.We cannot just stick to the past.Arthur said the decision that made everyone in the entire conference room look astonished, but quickly fell into a frenzy.
