Reborn multinational giant

On the evening of July 10, Fang Zhe and Fatty were chatting in Fatty's bedroom while waiting for the arrival of zero.

The reason why she chose to stay at Fatty's house was because Yang Xiuying had strict control over Fang Zhe's work and rest. It was impossible to allow him to stay up late at home.Fatty's parents and Fang Zhe's parents are both old employees of the steel factory. After being laid off, they opened a clothing store in Qingxu. By now, they both had fallen asleep.

The hour hand and the pointer coincided at 12 o'clock, and Fang Zhe refreshed the simple statistics tool page he made in the computer browser again.Here, you can intuitively see the registration number, income and other information of the two games submitted by Fang Zhe. In theory, the number of registrations is less than or equal to the number of downloads, and because it is a paid download game, it can also be calculated accordingly. Income data.

Unsurprisingly, like the previous refreshes, the number is still 0.

The fat man was speechless at the other Zhe's behavior. He said, "Azhe, I think we should go to bed first. Wait until tomorrow morning. It's late at night. How can anyone download it?"

Fang Zhe explained: “The official regulations are to start the sale on the 11th. The time in New Zealand, Australia, and RB can be several hours faster than us.”

"A few hours earlier, they were there in the early morning hours. There are no shops selling mobile phones in the early hours."

Fang Zhe smiled at him and didn't say anything. He also felt that the fat man made sense. Apple's new phone was launched and all mobile phone retail stores were basically on sale at 8 in the morning.It is because this is the first time that I have put a game on the appstore as an independent developer, and it is inevitable that I feel a little excited and nervous.

"Wait another half an hour, 12:30, if we haven't, we will go to bed. Although there may not be a new mobile phone on sale, but some areas of the iPhone should have received the iPhone 2.0 upgrade push, after the upgrade, there will be an appstore. It is also possible to download our games."

Fang Zhe yawned. He and Fatty waited here for a few hours and scanned the page dozens of times. At first, Fatty was as excited and expectant as him, longing for some changes in the numbers on the page.

It wasn't until dozens of times later that Fatty's expectation was almost gone, and Fang Zhe's heart was lost.

When the clock reached a quarter past 12, Fang Zhe scanned the webpage again, and all the numbers were still 0.

Fang Zhe turned on the iPhone and flipped boringly. His phone was a jailbroken version, and he couldn't receive the official iPhone 2.0 upgrade notification.

"I'll go to the toilet. If we don't have any data, we will go to bed." Fang Zhe finished speaking and went to the toilet.

The fat man sat where he left and refreshed the web page subconsciously.

At this moment, the data on the page changed. The number of registrations for the stickhero game was 1, and the income was $0.99.

The fat man rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and scanned the webpage again, until 1 and 0.99 appeared on the webpage again, he shouted: "Yes, there are!"

"Azhe, come on, download it."

"There is a payment."

"The one with the stick has a download."

"US$0.99!"

"According to the exchange rate of 1:7, that is nearly 7 yuan."

"Hurry up! Come and see!"

Fang Zhe, who had just urinated halfway, seemed to have increased his horsepower. He hurriedly finished the work, lifted his pants and ran to the fat man.

He took the mouse from the fat man and refreshed the page again. The numbers 1 and 0.99 in black and bold remained on the page.

Fang Zhe couldn't hide his excitement, he said to the fat man happily, "Fatty, buddy, it's going to happen now."

Click and refresh the interface again and again, looking forward to the number change again.

"Isn't it, there was a download in the middle of the night, 7 yuan, if there are 10 downloads tomorrow, it will be 70, if there are 100, it will be 700, and it will be calculated as 30 days a month, then It's 21,000."

"My god, this income directly hits many first-line white-collar workers." After finishing the calculation, the fat man became more excited in his heart, and the look in Fang Zhe's eyes seemed to be a little admiring.

Fang Zhe's excited heart was amused by his algorithm.

He explained: “It’s not that count. The number of game downloads varies from day to day. In the first few days, there are fewer games on the appstore, and the number of downloads may be higher. Later, when there are more games, it may be less. And Apple is If the user is allowed to refund, if the user thinks it is not fun to refund, then the money is not ours."

"Damn, you can still play like this!" Fatty shouted.

"Then what if someone makes all the paid games fun, and if it's not fun, what about the refund?"

Fang Zhe smiled: "Do you think Apple officials are stupid? 30% of the revenue of each application belongs to Apple. Since it dares to formulate this policy, how can it be so easy for you to take advantage of the loopholes and malicious refunds will be Closed the account."

The fat man said in surprise: "Thirty percent? This apple is quite good at doing business. You will get two yuan for every seven yuan. You make more, and he makes more."

"Yes, but without the appstore channel it provides, I can't get a point." Fang Zhe explained, but in his heart he thought that because of the open source relationship of Android, the division of domestic and foreign channels and developers is completely different. .

The foreign Google store is the only one, and learns from Apple to charge 30% of the profit. In China, because of Google’s withdrawal from China, various channels are chaotic, with 30% and 50%, and even more ruthless channels directly take away 70%. Channel part-time job.

This has also strengthened Fang Zhe’s determination to do channel and distribution. Now the domestic sector is still in the blue ocean. When he has accumulated a little bit, he will start to do it. With his understanding of the games and applications of the later generations, it will be divided. Earning eight thousand per minute is like playing.

The two of them were chatting with each other, but they were not slow in their hands. You clicked and I refreshed the page constantly.

It was already past 12:30, but the two of them were as excited as they were fighting.

Just after the pointer reached 1 o'clock, on the page that was just refreshed, the numbers had a new change.

Stickhero registered 3 and earned 2.97 US dollars.The data of flappybird is still 0.

Both of them stared at the numbers on the screen, and they were somewhat calm just now and fluctuated again.

"US$2.97"

"Converted into RMB?"

"No, I have to take a calculator to calculate." The fat man said, opened the calculator on the computer and entered 2.97*7. When the equal sign was pressed, the number in the calculator became 20.79.

"20 yuan 7 mao 9"

"I'll do the math. It took less than an hour and 3 downloads. If you count 24 hours a day, that would be 24 times 3, which is 72 downloads."

"72 times 0.99 is equal to 71.28."

"71.28 multiplied by 7 yuan, that is 498 yuan 9 mao 6."

"Aside from the 30% given to Apple, it is less than 350 yuan."

At this time, the fat man, incarnate as an accountant and financial fan, calculated Fang Zhe's income in minutes.

"I'm pretty reliable, right? It just started late at night. In less than an hour, there were 3 downloads. Later in the day, the more people download, that is to say, you earn at least 400 today. Bucks."

"My god!" said the fat man, clapping his thigh in surprise.

"It's enough for my living expenses for more than half a month."

"No, you must have a treat tomorrow, and you have to make up for the loss of staying up late with you. I stayed up all night and settled the bill. How many brain cells died, I."

The fat man spoke in a row, and Fang Zhe was amused, and smiled and said, "I will treat you to a big meal when the money comes."

It is also funny. Fatty has spent 20,000 to 30,000 on games in the past few years, but his monthly living expenses are less than 1,000. He can be described as a full game fan.Fang Zhe knows that there are still many people like Fatty in this world. Even if Fang Zhe himself spends less, he has invested thousands of dollars in the game in a few years.

It is precisely because of the huge profits in the game industry that a large traffic user like Tencent can use this to turn a large number of users into banknotes, from dnf to cf to lol, glory of the king, etc., I don’t know how many people are “pitted” money.
