516, unless the other party can predict the future
"Mobile phone? Casual games? Mobile online games?"
Lin Xi heard a few words spoken by Lin Yao.
More confused.
After all, she is not from this industry.
Lin Xi doesn't like playing games either.
Compared to playing games.
She seems to prefer to devote her extra time to her sister.
So it was a bit difficult for her to immediately understand what Lin Yao just said.
"You read the plan first, and then I'll explain it to you."
Lin Yao, who was sitting on the sofa, let go of the thigh she was holding, turned sideways and picked up the cat on Lin Xi's lap, put it in her arms, and let her read the plan in peace first.
Lin Xi heard what his sister said, thought about it, and opened the planning book directly.
And at the same time.
When the cat in Lin Yao's arms saw the change, it immediately started to make a fuss again.
But probably because Lin Xi was nearby, it wasn't that violent.
But instead of lying down quietly, he struggled to get up, stood upright, put his short forelimbs on Lin Yao's knees, looked around nervously with his little head, and saw that Lin Xi was still beside him, so he didn't jump.
Walk.
"Are you being too ungrateful? It's me who feeds you cat food, right?"
Lin Yao laughed angrily when she saw the man standing up, looking at Lin Xi's ragdoll cat, putting down his long snow-white legs that were curled up on the sofa.
"Meow~"
The ragdoll cat heard the sound, looked back at Lin Yao, immediately retracted its forelimbs, and lay back on her lap.
Then, it looked up.
Um.
Can't see her anymore.
Lin Yao didn't think much about it. Seeing that the Ragdoll cat was no longer making trouble, she ignored it and turned to look at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi frowned slightly and looked at the plan quietly.
In fact, the entire planning document, apart from the design ideas of the mobile phone, the game design plan and the description of the software, is not very long.
soon.
Lin Xi figured out what his sister wanted to do.
"Have you finished reading? In fact, what the whole plan wants to do is very simple, which is to seize an opportunity and give it a try."
Lin Yao saw her put down the planning book and said: "Mobile games, that is, the mobile games mentioned in the planning book, I will definitely do it, because I am very optimistic about this market, even if I am not optimistic, with the current situation of Linmu Studio
In terms of size, it is also essential to try.”
"But there is a problem. I did a little research on the brands and models of mobile phones currently on the market, and found that there are too many and too complicated. This is not something that Linmu Studio can solve. The only thing Linmu Studio can do is to try its best.
To make the game adaptable to more mobile phone models."
"But the cost of adaptation is not small, so I thought, since I am optimistic about mobile games, why...can't we become the party setting standards?"
When Lin Yao said this, she paused, gently stroked the cat on her lap, and then continued:
"Because of the switch, we now have experience in selling physical products and have mature channels. Although mobile phones are mobile phones, game consoles are game consoles."
"But having said that, with this phone, we don't have to focus on traditional mobile phone users... we can focus on gamers. Anyway, my original purpose is to unify the chaotic mobile phone market as much as possible," Lin Mu
The studio can make mobile games more freely without having to invest too much energy in adapting to a mess of games. Even if it really fails, it can speed up the unification."
"So, I wrote this plan. The focus is on games, and the mobile phone is included."
"Of course, it would be even better if the mobile phone brand could gain a good reputation among players, achieve good results, and then radiate to ordinary users. At that time, it is estimated that LMU Financial Holdings would not have to deal with the problem of a single industry."
Lin Yao said a lot in one breath.
The core idea is to serve the game.
A sentence of 'Do you have faith' is enough.
Any more would put pressure on Lin Xi, so Lin Yao didn't say too much about her expectations for mobile phones. She only said that it would be better if she could achieve results.
Lin Xi listened quietly to his sister's words, thinking deeply, and did not answer for a long time.
Lin Yao waited quietly.
After a while.
"good."
Lin Xi raised his head and made up his mind: "I will independently set up a subsidiary company to be responsible for connecting with Lin Mu Studio."
"You made up your mind so quickly?"
Lin Yao was slightly surprised.
Mobile phones are an industry that is very unfamiliar to LTM Financial Holdings.
And the current mobile phone market is not a blue ocean.
The perfect Red Sea.
Every move is popular.
With the switch product and Linmu Studio as its backing, Linmu Financial Holdings was desperate and had no other choice at the time.
However, mobile phones are a popular communication tool. Without seeing the physical product, the description of "new form of smart phone" in Lin Yao's planning book is indeed not very convincing.
How many players are willing to buy mobile phones for games?
Lin Yao didn't have much confidence.
But Lin Xi thought about it for less than ten minutes before agreeing.
"Well, I believe you."
Lin Xi closed the planning book and said with a gentle smile: "Besides, Linmu Financial Holdings can survive now only because of Linmu Studio and Switch... Regardless of personal feelings, Linmu Studio is trustworthy. I will convince the shareholders."
Bar."
"That's not necessary."
Lin Yao was stunned when she heard Lin Xi's words, and then chuckled: "There's no need to go through the trouble of setting up a subsidiary, just acquire it directly. This is the attachment. It contains the design ideas of the mobile phone and the mobile phone manufacturers I am optimistic about. When the time comes, you can ask someone to
Responsible for negotiating with these mobile phone manufacturers, and then do your due diligence to choose the one you think is the most reliable.
Don’t worry about money. Linmu Studio is fully owned, so you don’t have to argue. It’s best for you to have full control of the company. Of course, if you are worried about Linmu Financial Holdings, you can hang some of your shares under Linmu Financial Holdings.
As for the shareholders, if they don't want to, then tell them, this is my idea, accept it or die. Anyone can make the switch. Without Linmu Studio, they can't even handle the chip supplier.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Also, sister, how are the preparations for Linmu Financial Holdings to move to next to Linmu Studio?"
Finally, after Lin Yao finished speaking, she seemed uneasy and asked specifically about the relocation, ready to shock Xiao Xiao at any time.
"ah?"
Lin Xi was not surprised by his sister's last words.
In fact.
The current survival of Linmu Financial Holdings is largely due to Linmu Studio, not to mention that the current major shareholder of Linmu Financial Holdings is Lin Yao...
She was more surprised when Lin Yao talked about acquiring a mobile phone factory.
This is rare.
"The relocation is still being prepared, but it will be soon... But Yaoyao, if you want to acquire it directly, is there no problem with the capital chain?" Lin Xi thought for a while and asked.
"sister."
When Lin Yao heard this, she was unhappy. She patted Lin Xi's shoulder lightly and said sincerely: "You know nothing about the game company or Linmu Studio's cash flow..."
How expensive can a mobile phone manufacturer be?
Lin Xi: "..."
"Did you just show off in front of your sister?"
After a long time.
Lin Xi finally reacted.
His expression gradually became dangerous.
"No way."
Lin Yao smiled brightly at Lin Xi, trying to get through.
But how could Lin Xi let her go so easily?
"Meow~"
A few seconds later.
The Ragdoll cat jumped off the sofa in panic.
The girl who was showing off just now was pressed on the sofa, laughing so hard because she was tickled.
"I was wrong. Is it okay to be wrong?"
It's not like whoever makes more money is stronger among the sisters. She really can't stand it.
Soon, Lin Yao was panting and begging for mercy.
"Let you show off... I will negotiate with those mobile phone companies as soon as possible, and Uncle Zhang will take the lead."
Lin Xi glared at his sister gently, and then, satisfied, he hugged his sister and turned her over, letting her lie on top of him.
"The Sword Comes"
"Well, I don't want Linmu Studio to be overly involved in this project. Ultimately, the advancement of this project is based on the continued growth of Linmu Studio's game business."
Lin Yao nodded, while calming her breathing, she said: "So at that time, Linmu Studio will mainly do software work. You may need some help on the hardware side. I will ask the switch hardware department to assist, and I will also assist.
, provide overall design ideas.
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there is also the fact that Linmu Studio is now very big and attracts attention, and every move is too eye-catching, and maybe someone can guess what it is, so thank you for your hard work."
"...Are you showing off in front of your sister again?"
"What! I just said that a big tree attracts the wind, but you are using strong words."
"Strong words make sense, right?"
"Wait a minute, Lin Xi, I'm warning you, I'm on top now, you... ugh!"
"..."
Meow.
not far away.
The puppet was sitting on the floor, with its two cat ears raised, looking at the two sisters on the sofa.
He yelled in dissatisfaction.
recent.
It seems to be getting less and less favored.
…
After Lin Xi and Lin Yao chatted.
The mobile phone project was officially launched.
but.
Not many people at Linmu Studio know about this project.
There are only a few high-level people who know the situation.
Including Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Xiu, Bao Liangzhe.
Most other staff members only know about mobile communication software.
Even those who knew about it were shocked when they learned that Lin Yao really wanted to make a mobile phone.
Especially Zhong Xiu.
He really didn't expect that Lin Yao would go to this extent for the sake of the game.
Just because of the vinegar, I made a meal of dumplings!
but.
After Lin Yao explained.
He was relieved.
After Lin Yao explained in detail the full-screen smartphone solution.
He even had a vague feeling...it was hard to say who the dumpling was.
But he didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
Compared with the hardware, who is the dumpling and who is the jealous, he is more concerned about how to adapt to the full-screen operating habits of the mobile terminal he leads.
After getting the operation plan given by Lin Yao.
Zhong Xiu quickly dropped everything and excitedly prepared to make changes. At the same time, he also said that he wanted to participate in the development of the mobile phone system.
And loudly asked Lin Yao to send him a prototype as soon as possible.
"He is simply a born product manager..."
Lin Yao watched Zhong Xiu run out excitedly, somewhat dumbfounded.
In fact, she also wanted to talk to him about the current landscape of mobile phone operating systems.
In Lin Yao's previous life, Android and IOS were divided into two worlds. This was largely due to the ecological and market structure that had been formed. Not to mention the latter, the market competition in the former was so fierce and the entry threshold was too high.
Therefore, if they are not forced to do anything, basically no company will build a new system.
Android is pretty good.
But here, with all the demons dancing around, there is a real chance to dominate the world... or take a big bite of the cake.
But this touched upon Lin Yao's blind spot in knowledge.
There are only two options before her now. The first is to choose an open source system on the market and improve based on it.
The advantage of this plan is that it has low risk, has a ready-made foundation, and is easy to implement.
The second is to develop it yourself and start from scratch. This solution is good in everything, but there is no experience, the investment cost is high, and the risk is high.
Lin Yao also has no experience.
She just mentioned it to Zhong Xiu a little bit, and he seemed to be more inclined towards the latter.
But Lin Yao was still struggling.
By the way...don't you have a system?
Lin Yao suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly.
The system rewarded a VR last time, and then nothing happened.
The main reason is that the threshold for completing the next task is too high.
Switch global sales exceeded 70 million units.
This has not yet been achieved.
The VR technical documentation provided as a reward was useless, and Lin Yao was really not interested in it.
Maybe I will be interested in it in the future, but I really am not interested now.
It would be better to reward her with an open source mobile phone system.
Maybe she can still be Linbus...
Lin Yao thought of this, pursed her lips, and smiled softly.
Well.
It was okay to joke, but as Linmu Studio grew larger and larger, she also knew that it would probably not work if she really relied on the system alone.
Let’s look at the situation of the mobile phone manufacturers we acquired...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
Except for mobile phone projects.
Linmu Studio has not made many recent moves.
Because this time Lin Yao was not in a hurry to arrange a project to take over the release of the game.
Currently, most of the staff at Linmu Studio are mainly focused on preparing games for release.
But it’s just like Lin Yao herself said.
Now Linmu Studio can really be said to be a big tree attracting the wind.
Most staff are unaware of it.
But for colleagues.
Linmu Studio’s public actions cannot be concealed.
“700 million to fully acquire a mobile phone manufacturer?”
Sky Fox.
When Mou Feng heard the news, he was stunned: "What are they going to do? Has this mobile phone manufacturer launched any new technology recently?"
"I didn't hear that, but I heard that it was about to go bankrupt..."
The subordinate who submitted the report shook his head slightly: "I checked this company. Although it was the first domestic manufacturer to make touch-screen mobile phones, in order to pursue sales, it adopted the tactics of blind expansion and has almost completely consumed the brand image.
, even if it is not acquired, it is estimated that it will not survive.
The only advantage is probably that it has a lot of patents.”
"Then why did Linmu Studio acquire such a company?"
Mou Feng subconsciously asked his subordinates.
Because he is confused.
But her subordinates were also confused, how did she know?
fine.
Li Guangsheng, who was next to him, took over the conversation and did not make it difficult for his subordinates: "Never mind it! Maybe we have too much money and are too busy to bet on the future. What we should be concerned about now is not this matter, but the upcoming "Warcraft"
world"!"
Li Guangsheng rubbed his eyebrows.
He hasn't slept well recently...
Tested "World of Warcraft" some time ago.
He purchased several test accounts at a high price.
Then I went in and played "World of Warcraft" for a while, and then I couldn't sleep even more...
Now all his thoughts are focused on what Tianhu should do after the release of "World of Warcraft".
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
When Mou Feng heard Li Guangsheng's words, he turned around and frowned: "After the new generation of communication technology is commercialized, with the increase in bandwidth and speed, it may make it possible to play online games on mobile phones! We cannot care about this matter! I suspect Lin Yao
Same idea!
She also thinks that in the future it will be possible to play online games anytime and anywhere on a mobile phone, so she wants to bet on it! ... But even so, there is no need to acquire mobile phone manufacturers, right? I don’t understand!”
"Afeng, I'm not telling you to play online games on your mobile phone? Do you think this is really possible? How to play it?"
When Li Guangsheng heard what Mou Feng said, he smiled bitterly: "Look at the current mobile games. They are all simple stand-alone games. Although they can be ranked online, they can only go so far. And you know how complicated online games are.
Isn’t it? Let’s not talk about us. Take Linmu Studio’s own “World of Warcraft” as an example. The keys involved cover half of the keyboard and require mouse assistance to play.
And how big is the screen of a mobile phone? How high is the performance? How can such a game be put into a mobile phone? It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I really can’t imagine how mobile online games can attract players! Is it possible that the PC version
Not having fun?
Nowadays, Tianhu is struggling to make PC online games, and is being beaten by Linmu Studio! Now Tianhu’s best MM still has “World of Warcraft”... What do you say about the future? I really expect it.
Don’t get up!”
Mou Feng: "..."
Facing questions from friends.
He had nothing to say.
really.
Although he has a strong premonition that mobile games will become the mainstream game carrier in the future.
But he doesn't know how to put an online game into his mobile phone...
This is indeed too difficult.
This is probably the disadvantage of smart people like Mou Feng compared to Lin Yao.
They vaguely see the possibility of the future, but they don't know where the road will lead.
Therefore, Mou Feng's suggestion is to brainstorm, set up a special department to research and develop, and develop mobile games on the premise that the network will not be a problem in the future.
To this end, he specially called many senior executives to hold meetings, but later came to the conclusion that it could not be done.
Because mobile phone brands vary from good to bad, and various models are blooming, which mobile phone should be used to make mobile games...
Um?
Um!?
Mou Feng's eyes slowly widened as he thought of a possibility.
Lin Mu Studio’s acquisition of mobile phone manufacturers... wouldn’t it be for mobile online games and setting mobile phone standards?
What kind of courage is this!?
Think of this.
Mou Feng immediately looked at his subordinates standing aside and asked, "Have they contacted more than one mobile phone manufacturer?"
"Well, I heard that several leading companies have also been contacted, but no agreement has been reached." The subordinate nodded.
"Guangsheng, it looks like we're going to be in trouble."
Mou Feng heard this and confirmed it.
Linmu Studio just wants to set standards.
They want to put an end to the situation where mobile phone brands are mixed, and a variety of models flourish.
He told Li Guangsheng his speculation.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
When Li Guangsheng heard this, he immediately retorted: "You have been overseas some time ago. Maybe you don't know. I also know the heads of several domestic mobile phone leaders. They want to dominate more than Linmu Studio! They want to end the chaos in the mobile phone market.
Situation! But can they do it? They can’t!
They want to kill their opponents more than anyone else, but what they can't do is what a game company wants to do by spending 700 million to acquire a mobile phone manufacturer that is about to go bankrupt? Are you probably not dreaming!"
"..."
Mou Feng was silent again.
What Li Guangsheng said does make sense.
He had just thought that the other party was being cowardly.
After all, it sounds too exaggerated.
Unless...the other party can predict the future.
"We will study mobile online games, but we really don't need to pay too much attention to Linmu Studio's acquisition of mobile phone manufacturers. They are more likely just to bet on the future. After all, I can probably guess some of their cash flow. It must be very
fear."
Li Guangsheng continued: "It only makes sense to spend money. They see that the new generation of communication technology is about to be commercialized, and it is normal for them to be optimistic about the mobile phone market. However, it is estimated that they will not produce results until the Year of the Monkey, and even if they produce results, it will not have much to do with us."
So there’s no need to pay too much attention, what we have to consider now is PC gaming!”
Mou Feng nodded slowly: "...Yeah, that's right."
really.
What Li Guangsheng said makes sense.
He couldn't think of a point to refute.
He can't do more. He can spend money like Lin Mu Studio, or he can acquire mobile phone manufacturers, but what happens after spending money? You can't spend it casually if you have a lot of money.
At this stage, it’s good to invest in the mobile game field.
If things look good in the future, we can rely on the foundation we have laid now and increase investment.
At least we can be on the same starting line as Linmu Studio!
…
Although people in the industry were shocked by Linmu Studio’s acquisition of mobile phone manufacturers.
However, Linmu Studio kept a low profile and did not announce its acquisition of a mobile phone manufacturer with any fanfare.
I didn't hold a high-profile press conference to talk about the future.
Just run the game you own step by step.
Then we will build momentum for the two subsequent games to be announced by Linmu Carnival.
"Diablo" is officially announced.
The whole forest carnival.
Speaking of games that have the most profound impact on players.
This is "Diablo".
I won’t talk about Pokémon.
Although the concept of Monster Hunter is interesting, there are similar games.
As for World of Warcraft, MM is a very mature game type.
But only "Diablo" has such a unique temperament.
Top view, dark gothic style, strong B-level movie feel.
There really isn't any similar game on the market.
In addition, more importantly.
This game is also Carnival’s first dual-login game.
Although there are not many players who only play on PC, there are still quite a few.
And this time for "Diablo", Linmu Studio's promotion and distribution scope is no longer limited to Asia. Europe and the United States also focus on it.
soon.
The new promotional materials for "Diablo" have been launched on the largest overseas video website.
And within one day, it received three million likes!
This game with a strong B-movie flavor has impressed many European and American players.
They have been waiting for this game for a long time!
but.
This is not good news for Game players...
For the first two games of Linmu Studio, they can still convince themselves that they are only on consoles and have little to do with PC.
But this excuse can no longer be used.
"I just want to ask, what are you going to do next?"
Hawkins looked at Frank, a little annoyed.
Since the establishment of Game player, it can be said that the thunder is loud and the rain is small.
In the end, there were over 100 million registered users, and there was no point in using them...
None of the strategic goals were achieved, and no money was earned. Instead, investment increased day by day.
He was already a little impatient.
Investors in Dreamland seem to have realized that Game Player is no match for the Vaporwave gaming platform, and have slowly lost patience.
