Everything is running in the prescribed direction.
After 4G was officially announced for commercial use, its popularity began to soar.
Although currently, 4G lacks sufficient appeal to consumers, and most users are still lack of interest.
After all, your speed is of no use.
You also need to have a mature application scenario.
Just like Lin Yao in her previous life, after 5G came out, the speed was extremely fast.
Everyone admits this.
But even if you give me the speed of optical fiber, I still just play games and watch videos, which is not as good as 4G. What is the future?
Let’s wait until the future arrives!
This is what most ordinary consumers think.
but.
Consumers are on the one hand.
For enterprise manufacturers, it is another story.
For them, 4G is something that can bring high added value to products, become a gimmick, and compete in the future.
Immediately popular...
Even if they themselves currently feel that 4G is of little use, it does not prevent them from speculating on the concept and fighting for the future.
Especially mobile phone companies.
After all... Lin Yao was very successful in both her previous life and the mobile phone industry here.
When the various parameters of an industry are almost the same, there is always a need for some new selling points.
There is also the existence of the Jiaming Alliance here, which makes it difficult for everyone to have a different experience on the system and can only pile up materials. But this thing has an end. The designs are becoming more and more consistent, and in the end you can only fight with price.
But this is not a long-term solution...
Therefore, the emergence of 4G is indeed a very good selling point for many mobile phone manufacturers.
As for whether to use it or not.
Let’s talk about that later.
Let’s first use selling points to seize users. A new mobile communication technology is itself a battle for high-value users.
For many mobile phone manufacturers.
What is more important now is not selling products, but fighting for the right to speak in the future.
so.
After the first mobile phone supporting 4G was released.
Immediately afterwards.
The intensive new mobile phone announcement window is here.
Several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, almost immediately, have announced their new mobile phones that support 4G, or they have not yet announced them, but they have already begun to warm them up.
The first mobile phone to support 4G.
It's like a signal.
It directly started a prosperous era when many mobile phone manufacturers competed for beauty...
In just one week, six companies have announced that they will launch new mobile phones.
Consumers were all confused.
It was a little better at first, and I would go there to see it out of concern.
I got a little bored later, so I just didn’t even look at it...
As for why this is the case.
Very simple.
At present, all manufacturers that announce support for 4G mobile phones only support 4G and do not provide supporting services at all.
The mobile phone is still a previous generation mobile phone, so we added the selling point of supporting 4G, then changed the appearance, added some stuff, and announced it.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they have more important internal projects.
But at least for now, that's the case.
That's all.
And the mobile phones sold in this way have an additional 4G, so ordinary users will be interested...
I can afford to buy a mobile phone, but I can’t afford to use data.
And there are many such situations.
Soon, users felt that mobile phone manufacturers were cheating money and creating a bad environment.
Many people even said bluntly with dissatisfaction that they should wait until 4G is no longer a selling point before buying a new mobile phone!
but.
No matter how dissatisfied the user is,
Nor can we stop the wheel of history from rolling forward...
After all, 4G is not just a matter of mobile phone manufacturers, there are three giants in it.
Therefore, although users are not interested in the new mobile phones that support 4G, the concept of 4G is still popular. After all, no matter how dissatisfied the users are, they will still have to face overwhelming publicity... and are forced to receive the news of 4G. And many
There are many different ideas about 4G.
The substantial increase in 4G transmission rate will create more service demands.
If you download a movie for tens of seconds, the video website will be happy.
What is the promising future of the automotive intelligent industry? Driverless cars will become possible
What car hotspot has IFI all the way?
What other online education, smart home, mobile games...
In short.
There is everything you can imagine.
But so far, no manufacturer has turned these visions, even part of them, into reality.
4G is a hot topic.
But for gamers, it doesn't matter much.
The only thing that can be considered relevant is that in the past few days, a mobile phone manufacturer announced that its upcoming 4G mobile phone will cooperate with Tianhu to develop a mobile online game.
This is quite a piece of news.
Many players couldn't help but look forward to it after seeing this news.
I started to fantasize about being able to play MMORPG online games on my mobile phone.
Although the game has not yet been seen, the specific launch time has not been announced.
But 4G has been so hotly hyped recently. If you say that players are not interested at all, it is definitely impossible. However, players’ discussions on mobile online games were quickly poured cold water on them.
[Let’s not talk about mobile online games. Let’s not talk about network problems first, nor how to display the vast content of online games on such a several-inch screen. Let’s just talk about it... Take a look at the computer cases around you, and then compare them with your mobile phones.
, is this the same thing? Are you sure that small mobile phone can run online games on your computer?
So don’t think about it. I’m more inclined to think that Tianhu is just riding on the popularity. The game may not have been made yet, and there may not even be a movie. Even if it is made, it will definitely be a shoddy work. I really look forward to seeing Lin Mu’s work.
I guess what the room will do next, they also acquired a mobile phone factory, didn’t they?】
As soon as such a post was sent out.
It immediately attracted responses from many players.
In addition to feeling that what the other party said makes sense, the player also thinks that the poster mentioned something that everyone has almost forgotten.
That is - Linmu Studio acquires a mobile phone factory.
"Yes, I don't think you have to have high expectations. 4G has just started. Even the signal coverage is not wide, let alone playing mobile games on your mobile phone. Even if the network is not a problem, the hardware will be.
questionable."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, but Linmu Studio can look forward to it. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about their acquisition of a mobile phone factory."
"No, I hope Linmu Studio won't join in the fun. Now they are in full swing and prospering. They have money-making tools like the Vaporave game platform, as well as the industry's top production capabilities in online games and stand-alone games. They will continue to work hard on their existing achievements.
In this field, you can make money just by sitting down. 4G is really immature now, and the hardware is not mature either. There is no need to make any mobile online games.”
"You can't say that. It's precisely because they are at the top of the pyramid now that they need to actively try, otherwise it will be too late! I think Lin Yao acquired the mobile phone factory just to try. I even suspect that they want to make mobile phones."
"Don't be ridiculous. Game companies make mobile phones... This is completely unprofessional and thankless. Do you think Lin Yao is such a stupid person?"
"Unless she slaps her forehead... I prefer to believe that Lin Yao just wants to try a new field - mobile online games, but this has nothing to do with us for the time being. The games announced at the next e-sports festival have not been released yet. Lin Yao seems
I'm still awake, so don't worry too much. I'll wait a year or two for them to produce results before going for testing.
Bar."
"..."
Below the post.
Players are generally optimistic about Linmu Studio’s development of mobile online games.
However, most players currently don’t care too much.
After all, it’s so confusing right now…
Major mobile phone dealers are selling mobile phones with different shells one after another, making most ordinary people disgusted with this kind of concept speculation.
And because this kind of operation has been performed too many times during this period...most of the things related to 4G have been subconsciously labeled as hype.
For example, Tianhu makes mobile online games.
Most players in China still like Linmu Studio. They don’t want Linmu Studio to come out and languish in muddy waters during this period.
And in fact.
Linmu Studio did not disappoint them...
Construction started during the Chinese New Year, but no major announcements were made.
During this period, we are just carrying out regular game operation and maintenance work.
The appearance of playing the game wholeheartedly.
It’s like I don’t know about 4G.
This is not the case.
the next day.
The new version 1.8 of "World of Warcraft" has been updated.
Although it is a small update, it does not contain much content.
But the players are still very excited.
Because "World of Warcraft" has been updated with seven minor versions!
Each small version will have more story lines.
And these story lines all vaguely point to the Outland and the Burning Legion...
Many players have realized that this game may have big moves next.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
So starting from 1.5, after the story gradually became clear, every time the minor version was updated, players with full level would run the mission immediately, and then share it with other friends to guess what story would happen in Azeroth next.
This is already an old tradition for "World of Warcraft" players every time the version is updated.
Just this time.
Minor version updates are a little different.
In addition to regular bug fixes, this version update also adds several story branches, about Illidan...
But that's not the point.
The point is.
on that night.
When some players visited the tavern, they discovered that the tavern owner had started selling new things!
It was a prop called a ‘Fireside Party Ticket.
This prop only costs one gold coin.
However, it cannot restore health and blue energy, and cannot be used.
The only function is to trigger dialogue.
After the player purchases the ticket, the tavern owner will laugh heartily, and then pop up a line of dialogue, saying: 'It is not easy to attend this party.
Then, the answer page appears.
Players want to start answering questions...
There are fifty questions in total, and the time limit is ten minutes.
The conditions are extremely harsh.
And the problems are rare.
Even if you rely on search engines, you may not be able to find the answer quickly.
Although this item is available for a limited time and in limited quantities, the current player base of "World of Warcraft" is indeed too large.
So soon, some players discovered such a thing.
I was confused and immediately posted it on the forum.
[Holy shit!? What is this? The tavern suddenly refreshed! I bought it, and then I started answering the questions inexplicably. I could give up, or I could answer the questions, and then I answered wrong... and this dialogue appeared [picture]]
"'Looks like you can't attend the fireside party right away. It's the first time for my old friend to hold an event. What he needs is a party star who knows everything! You are not suitable for the time being.,... Party star? Damn it?
Easter eggs?"
"It's definitely not an easter egg! It's Linmu Studio who is coming again! [Excited]!"
"Which tavern is it? Why didn't I get it? Owner! Tell me quickly!"
"It must be a big move! It must be! Damn it! Linmu Studio likes to play with these flowers! Where is the answer boss? Come on!"
"Here comes the question! Hardcore players of "World of Warcraft" and "Warcraft"! First tell me how to buy this ticket!"
"It seems to be refreshed randomly, and you can get some additional information by repeating the conversation with the tavern owner. This seems to be a large party. The registration period is only for these two days! I don't care, I will keep squatting and waiting these days.
refresh."
"I'm squatting too! As expected of Linmu Studio, it seems that it is ready to make big waves at the beginning of the new year! Those colleagues who stare at 4G every day should learn from it! Make games for me!"
.....
soon.
Mainstream player community.
I don’t care about 4G anymore.
Most players.
They were all distracted by the latest update of "World of Warcraft"...
"Fireside party...what's this all about?"
at the same time.
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng looked at the post on the screen and leaned back on the chair again.
Very disappointed.
He just saw the title of this post and thought that Linmu Studio had stuffed Easter eggs from mobile games into online games. He was very excited.
But I excitedly opened it to take a look.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just see this...
Of course disappointed.
During this period, he searched intensively for news about Lin Mu Studio every day.
no way.
The pressure from shareholders is increasing.
Even if Li Guangsheng is on his side.
Because of the mobile game they developed, the first trial version was released.
Everyone who has played it... is very dissatisfied.
Because the performance was so poor.
It stutters, drops frames, and gets stuck easily.
The operation is also very awkward.
Although Mou Feng has repeatedly stated that this is just a trial version, without the powerful and convincing evidence that Linmu Studio is also optimistic about it, the complicated Tianhu management obviously does not want Mou Feng to continue to promote this project.
And faced with this situation.
Mou Feng had no choice but to hold on and pray to God to worship Lin Yao...
But it's a pity.
It seems that Linmu Studio is really not interested in mobile games.
There was no movement.
"…"
Mou Feng thought of this and sighed again.
Then, just when he sighed.
The cell phone on the table rang.
Mou Feng took a look.
Yu Tianbo is a godfather-like presence in the mobile phone industry.
I met him before when we were discussing cooperation in mobile online games.
Such thoughts circulated in Mou Feng's mind.
Then, he immediately picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Haha, Brother Mou, I heard from Guangsheng that you are in trouble?"
On the other end of the phone, Yu Tianbo asked in a brisk tone.
I even skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"I made you laugh."
Mou Feng was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and replied.
Although he was slightly surprised to hear Li Guangsheng's name, his tone did not change much.
"What's so funny about this? It's not like I haven't experienced such a period before."
Yu Tianbo on the other end of the phone smiled again and continued, "I'm here to tell you some good news."
"Oh?" Mou Feng sat up immediately, becoming interested.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Tianbo was very satisfied with his reaction and explained a few words.
To put it simply, Tianyu will announce an in-depth cooperation with Tianhu Games to support Mou Feng in continuing to develop mobile online games for mobile phones.
".
However, in exchange, Tianhu's mobile online games will only be allowed to log in to their Tianyu mobile phones for two years.
"this……"
After listening to the other party's words, Mou Feng hesitated slightly. After a long time, he asked: "Are you referring to your company's 4G mobile phone?"
"Yes." Yu Tianbo replied immediately.
"This... I'm not hiding it from you."
Mou Feng thought for a moment and said truthfully: "What we are developing is a 'mobile online game'. It was developed and tested using the latest 4G mobile phones of your company and Miao Corporation. The effect is not very good..."
"I know, so I have another request, which is that you need to streamline your mobile online games as much as possible. I actually tried the game and it felt too complicated... You should make it playable as soon as possible before May.
It depends on the degree, for example, making the textures rougher and making the gameplay simpler. It doesn’t have to be more fun, but the networking function must be retained.
Yu Dabo directly interrupted Jufeng and continued: "Do you understand what I mean? As long as it can be played, it must be launched in time to make it the first large-scale mobile game that supports outdoor 4G play, even if it is hung up
Sheep heads sell dog meat..."
"ah?"
Mou Feng was shocked.
Isn't this deceiving people?
"Little brother."
When Yu Tianbo heard Mou Feng's voice, he immediately knew what he was thinking. He smiled and admonished: "It's because Li Guangsheng felt that you might not agree, so he asked me to tell you... You, you can't.
Do you think that in the early days of 4G commercialization, there will really be any 4G mobile phones in the true sense? In other words, you don’t think that the first purpose of our efforts to promote 4G mobile phones is to sell mobile phones, right?
Then you are too naive. I do not deny that 4G has a bright future. I even guess that it will completely change our lives... The complaints from those users now also appeared when the mobile communication technology was upgraded a few years ago.
It's not small, but what happened in the end? Wasn't it accepted by everyone in the end? So don't look at the complaints from current users, but 4G will definitely be accepted in the future.
However, this will not come in the short term. Not only does it take time to improve the operator's signal coverage, but also because we ourselves are also exploring.
I understand this, and so do my colleagues, but the future will not come so soon. We are still groping, so should we just do nothing? This is certainly not the case. The last iteration of mobile communication technology, the entire mobile phone industry
They were all shuffled once, and those who did not keep up with the times fell quickly and died miserably.
Now that a new generation of mobile communication technology has arrived, it can be foreseen that there will definitely be another wave of reshuffles. What should we do?
I can't give you an exact answer, but no matter what, if you take advantage of the situation, it must be right!
We don’t have to run too fast, but compared with our peers, we must not lag behind! In order to have the right to speak in the future, even if we ourselves think that the current 4G is just a gimmick, then we have to bite the bullet and sell a mobile phone with such a gimmick!
"
Mou Feng: "..."
"So, do you understand?"
Yu Tianbo continued with a smile: "I might as well tell you the truth. According to our internal estimates, in the next year, there will not be a mobile phone that can truly take advantage of 4G! Not even one! Even if the related ecosystem is established,
No matter how fast it goes, according to our estimation, it will still take a year! But during this period, all our peers, including Tianyu, will release 4G mobile phones.
Even if...the user doesn't need it!
Although I don’t understand the game field, the principle is definitely the same. Since you are optimistic about the field of mobile online games, and mobile games have always been considered the future direction of 4G, then you cannot fall behind! Do you understand? Now is the time.
When you occupy the pit, you are already very far ahead.
Other game companies are now realizing that after the advent of 4G, mobile games seem to be taking off... But you have already made a trial version! Then you might as well speed up the pace! Be the first to log the game onto your mobile phone! Quality?
Can it be played? These are insignificant compared to seizing the opportunity and quickly occupying the share."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mou Feng was silent.
have to say
Yu Tianbo's words are very convincing.
He is really optimistic about the mobile online game market.
This market is currently a blue ocean.
Sacrifice quality, seize the opportunity, and quickly capture share...
"How about it?"
Yu Tianbo paused, then finally asked.
"Sorry, let's forget it."
Mou Feng was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly.
"……Why?"
When Yu Tianbo heard these words, his tone immediately changed, with dissatisfaction and a hint of disbelief.
Users criticized them for selling the phone with a different case, and he knew it.
Yu Tianbo also wants to change the status quo.
Mobile online games are a good selling point.
If we can cooperate with Tianhu, the new mobile phone announced in May will be much less controversial, and it can also be publicized.
Stand out among many 4G mobile phones.
After all... we also have a mobile online game that can be played outdoors anytime and anywhere!
Once this name is announced, it will definitely become a gimmick.
This is also the reason why he took the initiative to contact Tianhu.
As for whether he could convince them, Yu Tianbo was still very confident.
Because he felt that it was impossible for normal people to refuse.
but now.
Mou Feng refused.
"Are you still placing your trust in that Linmu Studio?"
Yu Tianbo also knew about Linmu Studio. He had said it in casual conversation, and there was really no need to go out of his way to find out who was the boss in the domestic game market...
So after asking why, he immediately changed the topic and said: "You don't really think that they can produce something after acquiring a mobile phone factory, do you? Believe it or not, they may be like you now? They are still figuring it out.
Stage? Even worse than you!?
If you cooperate with us now, you can still seize the opportunity! When their progress catches up, you will have to compete with them! Do you still expect them to be your reason to convince other shareholders?"
"I'm not sure what they can come up with by acquiring a mobile phone factory, and I don't know their progress. After all, there's no news at all. I really want to use them to convince shareholders..."
Mou Feng took a deep breath and replied softly: "But my rejection of your proposal has little to do with any of this. I also understand what you said, but Mr. Yu... there is something you seem to have forgotten. We Tianhu and Lin Mu
The comparison between studios is terrible, but we are also the second largest game company in China. And our games are equally terrible when compared with those of Linmu Studio. There are many shortcomings, but at least we have never fooled players...
We are not capable enough and may only be able to reach that point. In order to cope with the revenue pressure, we have also made a lot of compromises. But at least every game, every game of our Tianhu, is at least a finished product. You ask me to make a semi-finished product to rely on.
Gimmicks to fool players...I really can't do that.
And I didn’t come back to Tianhu to do this kind of thing.
You'd better talk to Li Guangsheng. If he agrees, then there's no need to ask me... I should probably resign!"
Say it.
Mou Feng hung up the phone.
This immediately made Yu Tianbo on the other end of the phone furious.
However, Mou Feng did not know this.
After he put down his cell phone, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief with a relaxed look on his face.
But just then.
The door to his office was pushed open.
Li Guangsheng, who was already slightly bald, suddenly walked in and asked:
"Refused?"
"Have you been listening?"
When Mou Feng saw Li Guangsheng, he probably guessed it.
"Yeah." Li Guangsheng pulled over a chair and sat down, nodding.
"Yes, I refused. If you want to agree, you can contact him again."
Mou Feng smiled and continued: "But if you must agree, I advise you not to agree to their exclusive request. There are so many mobile phone brands, and no one knows what 4G will develop into."
Monopoly is not beneficial to us, it is only beneficial to them..."
Li Guangsheng shook his head and interrupted: "Who said I would agree?"
Mou Feng was stunned: "Didn't Yu Tianbo say you agreed?"
"I just wanted him to ask your opinion, because I couldn't decide to pay attention. But after listening to your words, I thought of our biggest competitor.
Li Guangsheng crossed his arms and said in a low voice: "I tried to put myself in their shoes and thought that they would definitely not do this, and their rise has never depended on grabbing share... Then let's forget it, we
Now I can move faster than my peers, so there is no need to use this method of killing a hundred enemies and losing a thousand."
Speaking of which.
Li Guangsheng paused and added:
"Besides... when I asked you to come back, I really didn't ask you to do such a thing."
