"Lin Yao, we are going to hold a meeting to summarize last year's work. Will you have time to attend?"
Mu Wanqing's voice awakened Lin Yao, who was deep in thought.
"When?" Lin Yao looked away from the screen and looked back.
"In half an hour."
"Then I'll go there later." Lin Yao thought for a while and felt that it was really unreasonable for her boss not to attend.
"Okay, I'll call you then."
Mu Wanqing nodded, then looked at the document on Lin Yao's screen, and asked curiously: "What is this, a new project?"
"Well, it's a new plan, but it's just a prototype and there are still many problems that need to be solved."
Lin Yao nodded, then glanced at Mu Wanqing, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Mu, let me ask you a question, what do you think our studio... needs to do most next?"
"What needs to be done most?"
Mu Wanqing thought for a moment, and then said: "Consolidate our own advantages, maintain the two currently successful games, and create game derivatives like Breakout Challenge, and then on this basis, use the income from successful games
Expand business, accumulate technology, continue to make better games, or invest in other areas... Of course, it would be better if we can do something with the huge player base of our games, but gamers can only continue to work on games.
If we work hard on other projects, they may not necessarily buy it, so in the end we still have to return to the game itself and its derivatives."
"Hmm...what do you think of the gaming platform?"
Lin Yao asked.
Mu Wanqing was slightly startled, then continued: "Game platform? It would be really good if we could build a game platform according to the size of our current game, and then have a built-in forum for players to have a place to discuss and communicate."
"What if we do distribution?" Lin Yao continued to ask.
Mu Wanqing shook her head: "It's a bit difficult. Our game players are quite fixed, and for agency distribution business, most producers now choose Tianhu because they are big enough and have a dedicated department in charge. And our studio
It is small in size, and its reputation outside is mainly based on technology. Suddenly it is said that it wants to do agency distribution business, which feels not attractive enough. "
Lin Yao knew that Miss Mu had misunderstood. Miss Mu was talking about the online game agency model.
But she didn't rush to correct it.
Because Mu Wanqing said that Linmu Studio is known for its technical capabilities, it reminded her of something.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up the notebook next to her seat and opened it.
There is a page in it.
When "Breakout" was unveiled at DEAS, the annual summit of the digital entertainment industry, Lin Yao watched the live broadcast and took note of the independent games announced by other developers that she found interesting.
Most of them are meat pigeons.
But there are also a small number of other types of games.
Lin Yao has paid attention to this part of the game.
A small number of them have already been released.
But most of them are still gestating.
Because "Breakout" suddenly burst onto the scene and stole almost all the attention.
There are a lot of games here that no one pays attention to, and they lack funds, so they are difficult to produce.
"How could I forget these people?"
Lin Yao murmured to herself, then raised her head, looked at Mu Wanqing, and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Mu, you gave me a good idea."
"ah?"
Mu Wanqing pushed up her glasses, a little puzzled.
"You'll know when the meeting starts."
Lin Yao turned around again and wrote the word "green light" under the software document.
…
Half an hour later.
meeting room.
The core staff of Linmu Studio gathered together to start the first meeting of the new year.
The first topic is moving.
With the release of "Breakout" and the holding of the Breakout Challenge, the scale of Linmu Studio has now expanded to such an extent that the current location of the original eBay Development Department 2 is obviously no longer able to meet the demand.
Now everyone feels that it is time to start over in a new place.
Lin Yao felt the same, but after repeated discussions, there were really few suitable places.
Finally, Lin Yao thought about it and felt that she needed to ask Lin Xi. After all, Linmu Financial Holdings was in the real estate business, so she ignored the matter for the time being.
The second topic is to report last year’s results.
Although Linmu Studio sounds like its name, it seems to be small in scale.
But the income generated last year was indeed impressive.
"So far, the studio's game revenue is approximately 780 million, of which the earliest operating "Fantasy OL" has provided more than 500 million in revenue, while "Breakout" has been in the last two years due to the impact of the Breakout Challenge.
Monthly efforts, New Year boxes and sticker capsules contributed more than 200 million in revenue..."
Mu Wanqing reported the current revenue data of the studio’s games.
After hearing the number she said, everyone present immediately fell silent.
This is no small number.
You must know that Tianhu's financial report during the same period showed that its gaming revenue was only over 6 billion...
Lin Yao is also very satisfied. In half a year, the revenue generated by the studio is not a shame even if she gets her previous life.
Although it is a drizzle compared to the Pig Factory and Goose Factory, it can at least rank in the 30th place among many online game companies.
It's already very good.
After Mu Wanqing reported the results of the studio, she paused and then said: "In addition, I have one more thing to tell you. According to the data mentioned in the semi-official online game report, after the game ban is completely lifted,
, in just one year, the number of domestic online game users has exceeded one million to 40 million, and according to estimates, online game users may officially exceed 100 million this year!"
"So the next year is very important."
Hear this.
People in the conference room were even more surprised than they had just heard about Lin Mu Studio's results.
…Isn’t this too exaggerated?
Lin Yao took it for granted.
The history is similar.
In June of her previous life, 2006, how many online game users were there? More than 30 million.
But by the end of 2007, there were 120 million online game users!
Online games, before the rise of mobile phone games, were indeed a promising industry, and this industry had a golden period for a period of time.
In the previous life, the Internet was popularized.
This is probably where the game ban is lifted.
"So come on, everyone."
Lin Yao replaced Mu Wanqing and summarized: "The online game industry will usher in a period of rapid user growth. Whether we can seize the opportunity depends on the next year."
"Yes, whether you can defeat Tianhu depends on this year."
Zhong Xiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief and murmured.
Lin Yao: "..."
Others in the studio are much more ambitious than her.
When I heard about the period of rapid user growth, my first thought was to kill Tianhu.
Unlike Lin Yao.
Lin Yao just wants to be the best in the country...
"Then what should we do in the next year? Breakthrough biochemical model changes? New games?"
Zhong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Lin Yao eagerly.
