Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 17: Zheng Siwen's Call

This late night, Fatty and Fang Zhe, who had been in front of the computer all day, didn't stay up anymore, not because they didn't want to stay up, but because they were really sleepy.

The next day, the two people who just woke up, the first thing they did was to turn on the computer and open the statistics page.

The number of flappybird registrations was 1,469, and the number of stickhero registrations was 5,125. The total income was 6,528.06 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan.

Fang Zhe estimated that the total download volume of the two games today could be conservatively able to exceed 10,000 times, and even because of the increase in sales of iphone3g and more users upgrading iphone2.0, the download volume may exceed 20,000.

The fat man now has his mouth full of elder brothers, calling Fang Zhe. He seems to have forgotten that he was six months older than Fang Zhe.

After breakfast, the fat man continued to study the learning materials Fang Zhe gave him yesterday. Fang Zhe browsed various news about Apple and iphone3g on the Internet.

"According to foreign media reports, Apple's iPhone 3G has sold about 270,000 units in just one day after it went on sale."

"The first Apple store in Mainland China will open in Yanjing Sanlitun on July 19."

"It is rumored that Apple and China Mobile will restart negotiations on iPhone entering China"

Seeing this news, Fang Zhe remembered his previous life. It was not until October 2009 that Apple was able to sell iPhones in the mainland by virtue of its cooperation with China Unicom. Obviously, the cooperation between Apple and China Mobile could not be reached, and the current store, I don’t sell iphones at all.

Fang Zhe was watching the news, the phone rang, and his mother called.

"Azhe, are you up?" Yang Xiuying asked on the phone.

Fang Zhe knew what his mother meant to call so early, and obviously wanted to let himself go back, so he responded along with: "I got up, just got up for a while, I will go back later."

"Well, come back quickly, Kaikai's parents are so busy, and you ran over to make trouble. When you come over, call Kaikai and let him come home for dinner."

After a few words with his mother, Fang Zhe hung up the phone and said to the fat man who was studying: "Fat man, my mother urges me to go back. Come with me. My mother asks you to go to my house for dinner."

"All right, I'll go talk to my grandma." The fat man finished speaking and left the bedroom.

Fatty’s parents all went to the clothing store in the city to work. Fatty’s vacations these days have been eating with his grandparents. The old couple cooks simple food and eats lightly. To the fat guy, the meatless master, It's not too terrible.

Because the fat guy is coming, Yang Xiuying deliberately fries two more dishes.

The two have been dating for many years, so the fat man is not uncomfortable.

After eating, Fang Zhe and the fat man plunged into Fang Zhe’s bedroom. The fat man continued to study. Fang Zhe opened the statistics page and kept refreshing the data, and at the same time, he found out the fruit ninja project and continued to type the code. Tian Guang looked at the data of the previous two games, the Fruit Ninja project, but he didn't care about it.

From morning to afternoon, the download volume of the two games has been soaring, faster than yesterday.

Just after 3 in the afternoon, the number of flappybird registrations reached 2,825, and the number of stickhero registrations had exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,312. The total income was 1,305.63 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 90,000 yuan.

Fang Zhe entered the game and looked at it. There are many people on the lists of both games, with names in English and other languages. It seems that Fang Zhe's multilingual strategy is quite useful.

While Fang Zhe was playing the game, the phone rang, showing the call, Brother Mosquito.

Fang Zhe answered the phone, and Zheng Siwen's voice came through the phone.

"Azhe, how is it?"

In the past two days, Zheng Siwen has paid special attention to the release of Apple’s iPhone3g. On the one hand, it is due to professional needs and on the other hand because Fang Zhe submitted two games to it. According to the news he received, the total number of downloads of all apps in the appstore yesterday More than 2 million times.

The number one Super Monkey Ball on the paid game list has exceeded 100,000 downloads at a price of US$9.99, which is equivalent to the game’s single-day revenue of more than US$1 million.

Because of this, he was eager to know what data Fang Zhe had submitted for the two games.

"Now the number of flappybird registrations is 2,917, the number of stickhero registrations is 10,501, and the total income is $13,283.82." Fang Zhe said while looking at the latest data on the computer.

"So much?" According to the data mentioned by Fang Zhe, the total revenue of these two games in RMB has exceeded 90,000 yuan, which makes Zheng Siwen feel a little incredible.

"Brother Mosquito, have you been on QQ? I will send you the statistics address." Fang Zhe said, found Zheng Siwen QQ, and posted the statistics address. Because of the simplicity, this address is still an ip address, not even a domain name. , And just a few menus and pages, not even basic login.

Zheng Siwen said with emotion: "You kid is good enough. You made so much in just two days. When I was your age, I had to rely on my parents for subsidies."

Fang Zhe smiled and replied: "Brother Mosquito, don't make fun of me. After the two days have passed, the ghost will know how many downloads are left."

Fang Zhe understands that the life cycle of a mobile game is basically very short. From the beginning of the player's download to the uninstallation, it basically only takes a few weeks or even a few days.

Only when you start to do moderate or even heavy games later, to enrich the gameplay and system, can the life cycle be extended.

"Yes, our research found that the life cycle of mobile games is too short, especially the small games you make. Most users may uninstall them after a few days of playing. It seems that you are mentally prepared for this. Send me the installation packages of the two games. I just bought an iPhone two days ago, and I just installed the game to see."

Fang Zhe found the installation packages of the two games from the computer and sent them to them.Afterwards, Zheng Siwen said that he was dragging his friends to get a copy of the app download data for the entire appstore these days. If Fang Zhe is interested, he can send him a copy.

In the past, you can see the downloads of each application on itunes, but now on the appstore, the official data is blocked, and only the developers of each application can see their application data in the background.But for Zheng Siwen, it is still possible to estimate some application-related data through various channels.

"What are you and Fatty doing during the summer vacation?" Zheng Siwen asked.

"I just planned a new casual game recently. I just finished writing the plan in these two days and have already started to write code. Fatty is learning to play games." Fang Zhe glanced at the earphones. Said the fat man who studied hard.

"Do you want to make a new game again?" Zheng Siwen was a little surprised. He originally thought that Fang Zhe had just made two mini games before, but he didn't expect him to start making new games again.

Fang Zhe smiled and said: "Yes, it just happens to have a lot of summer vacation time, so I can make a game that is bigger than the previous two."

Zheng Siwen said: "I have a classmate who runs a web-based game company. I told him about you a few days ago. After hearing this, he was very interested. He also said that if you have nothing to do during summer vacation, you can Go for an internship with them so that he can learn from you. Besides, do you mind if I send him these two game packages?

"Don't mind, I would like others to play the games I made." Fang Zhe said happily. Even with years of experience in game development in the previous life, Fang Zhe is still just an ordinary producer, with more than a thousand records. Wan had never participated in the project, and he was still a little far away from the boss. He was born again. By accident, he became a talented person.

Zheng Siwen said again: "You can do your own thing as an intern with them. I think this is an opportunity for you. You can see how the formal game project team works.

On his side, he also wanted to know about the prospects of mobile games. He called me this morning to mention this, so I wanted to get a thread and introduce you to me."

Fang Zhe was a little touched in his heart. Zheng Siwen took good care of himself in both his past and present lives. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that he was born again. He spent more than seven years in the regular project team, from an intern to a producer. The head is already clear.

However, this is indeed an opportunity for Fang Zhe, because right now, it is the time for the rise of domestic web games, and various web game platforms are blooming. In addition, the rise of domestic social networking sites, Kaixin.com, and later renames Renren's school intranet has gradually become popular.

Although Fang Zhe knows that because of product positioning and operational strategies, they are all just a drought, but they cannot be changed. As a result, web games have become popular all over the country.

Fang Zhe still remembers the grand occasion of the people stealing vegetables back then, but now, this grand occasion has never happened.It's very beneficial to be able to make friends with the boss of a web game right now.

However, Fang Zhe now has to face a very real problem. He has no money. Regarding the profitability of the two games, Fang Zhe originally did not plan to tell his parents for the time being because the money has not yet been obtained, so he told them. It always seems unreliable.

So Fang Zhe planned to mention this to his parents again when the money came back. Now it seems that if you don't tell your parents to borrow money from them to go to Yanjing, you will lose your confidence.

Zheng Siwen, who was on the phone, seemed to be the roundworm in Fang Zhe’s stomach. When Fang Zhe talked with his parents on the phone, Zheng Siwen understood that he had already moved. The only difficulty should be with his parents, so Zheng Siwen said:

"You give the auntie, I told her, Bao Zhun'er will do it for you, and if you ask Kaikai if you want to come together, you two can take care of it."
