Because on that day, a new hot search appeared on the hot search list - 'Game console area appears in Future offline store.'
In fact, this is not surprising.
Because in addition to the gameplay of Switch, the social attributes are also the most prominent feature of this console.
Both the design of the console and the games are very unique.
Before.
"Ring Fit Adventure" became popular once because of the combination of fitness and games.
Although after the heat passed, it was quickly forgotten.
But this has proved that the Switch console is not only limited to the gaming circle, but also acceptable to ordinary people.
Future offline stores are now booming again.
Offline stores attract more than just players.
There are also many ordinary people.
Linmu Studio also happened to choose the time point for the release of new games to put the console into Future offline stores.
Plus player influence.
It can be said that it was the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people.
It’s really not surprising that Switch has become popular.
This is something Lin Yao has planned for a long time.
But for many people, this is still a very bizarre thing...
no.
Aren’t you UMedia Technology Financing?
How to benefit Switch?
Many game companies that make mobile games are confused.
Everyone is planning to make a big splash in the field of mobile games.
Why did the Switch suddenly come out? And it suddenly became the representative of portable games?
Lin Mu Studio is definitely here to cause trouble, right?
Yes.
With the emergence of the console area in Future offline stores, the topic is fermenting.
Now Switch is indeed more popular than mobile games.
Whether you are really interested or just to attract attention.
In short.
During this period, both social media and mainstream video websites have frequently mentioned the Switch console.
Some filmed trial videos, some checked in on-site, some introduced past Switch games, some introduced how to play this console, and some used this console to record their weight loss process...
And these people jointly created the popularity of Switch.
Then more people got involved in this ‘chasing the popularity game’.
That day.
The comments Li Yu saw were not unique.
It is true that many ordinary people have developed a strong interest in the console after trying it offline because of its novelty.
The social nature of Switch is fully revealed at this moment.
The influence brought by Future offline stores has also been fully demonstrated.
Most people are very happy about this.
Ordinary people have new social topics and are really interested in this console, so they are happy to talk about related topics.
And the players are happy to see this happen.
Because traditional games are re-emerging and are definitely not dead yet.
certainly.
Most players still don't care about this. What they are happiest about is the quality of the game "Super Mario: Odyssey".
What surprised them the most was still the quality of this game.
This new game, considered by many players to be the life and death game on Switch in the era of mobile games, did not disappoint at all.
Really...so awesome.
Inside Linmu Studio, they are also happy. Switch has become a hot topic, which has greatly boosted console sales and game sales.
Especially cooperative games.
Sales have increased significantly.
You can only imagine who buys these games.
certainly.
Some people are happy, and some people are unhappy.
For example, many game companies targeting mobile games are not very happy.
They really feel that Linmu Studio is here to cause trouble!
Don’t you make mobile phones?
Why go all out to let the Switch steal the spotlight?
This is still done during the period of rapid development of Future S1.
Do you want to miss mobile games or not?
They couldn't figure it out.
The new shareholders of UMedia Technology also have some criticisms about this.
Mainly two points.
The first is that the Future S1 offline store is technically an asset of UMedia Technology, but the Switch has nothing to do with UMedia.
Although YouMedia's major shareholder is Linmu Studio, it does feel like it is using power for personal gain.
The second thing is that they also feel that this is the period of rapid development of Future S1.
Mobile games are also the focus of Future S1’s development.
After all, looking at revenue, Future Store takes a lot of money.
Therefore, many of these new shareholders do not like Switch very much.
I feel like the console is stealing the show.
In fact, this is understandable.
After all, money was invested.
Linmu Studio is financing only YouMedia Technology, so of course they have to protect their own interests first.
but.
Linmu Studio is still very strong now, and Future S1 is also developing smoothly, so although they have some complaints, they are not too excited.
The main reason is the dual-class share structure, which greatly weakens their voice.
There is still capital and patience.
But according to Zhang Youjie, this group of shareholders now has a tendency to stick together and is mentally prepared to stop Lin Mu Studio from causing chaos next time.
Lin Yao could understand this, but she really felt speechless.
Although she was mentally prepared.
I can only say that fortunately Linmu Studio is still in absolute control.
As for excellent media...
Actually tell the truth.
Lin Yao is still confident that she can suppress these capitals.
As long as Future S1 can go all the way up.
Then no matter how they unite, they can't stop her.
As for them saying that Switch will hinder the development of Future S1, that is even more nonsense. She is calmer than anyone else when facing the current situation.
Even though Switch is very popular now, but after the popularity has passed, the probability of the consoles purchased by users during this period of time is very high.
to be honest.
Social networking is only one of the attributes of the Switch console. Ultimately, the console is for playing games.
The main audience is still players.
As for saying it will affect the development of mobile games, that is even more impossible. These are two different things.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The trend of mobile games cannot be blocked by Switch.
The reason why Lin Yao put Switch into Future offline stores was not only for the sake of buzz and sales, but also mainly for overseas offline stores.
Zhang Youjie actually explained this.
But most new shareholders are still skeptical.
can only say.
It takes some time to build trust in each other.
Therefore, Lin Yao could understand their actions in the early stages and wouldn't care too much.
At most, I would be speechless for a while.
certainly.
Do this again from now on.
Then don't blame her.
…
And just after YouMedia’s first financing, the board of directors ended.
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao also completed the planned game plan.
Handed it over to the product department.
Return to the office.
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally the stone in my heart was lifted.
It's really too difficult.
Especially the planning book for "Game Super Smash Bros."
The gameplay of this game is simple, but you have to determine which game characters will appear, understand the history of the characters and their stories, and then choose the appropriate attack method...
It's really a big project.
But she had to do it.
Because there must be a direction for the project team and business departments to work towards.
We can't just let them act like headless chickens and just play whatever role they talk about, right?
This is simply impossible.
so.
Lin Yao was really in pain during this period.
I stay in the office every day, either playing games or checking information and coding.
It's like going to jail.
The only person who came to visit the prison every day was Mu Wanqing.
And every day when I go out for a walk, I can only see Lin Xi...
fine.
All efforts are worth it.
Lin Yao has already laid out the general framework of the game.
Next, it depends on the project team and business departments.
She was temporarily relieved.
"Miss Mu, I don't want to play this kind of game next time."
Lin Yao was lying on the table, her whole body was limp, as if she had no strength.
She was really exhausted.
"Know it."
Mu Wanqing stood aside and couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this: "I also read the planning document. This game is very difficult to make, but if it is really made, it will probably be enough to leave a name in the history of games, no matter what
Will we make similar games in the future?"
"of course."
Lin Yao changed her position and lay down facing Mu Wanqing, her soft face was squeezed, and her lazy expression had a special charm, which was very attractive.
Mu Wanqing looked at it and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the other side of Lin Yao's delicate face.
Lin Yao shook her head gently.
"You'll get marks on your face if you lie down like this for a while."
Mu Wanqing smiled gently, then stretched out her hand to smooth her skirt, squatted down next to Lin Yao, looked at her lying down, and said gently: "You are a celebrity now, isn't this inappropriate?"
"What kind of stereotype is this?"
Lin Yao looked at her and said lazily: "Am I not a human being? Can't I lie down when I'm tired?"
"Then when will you cheer up? I still have something to say." Mu Wanqing shook her head gently.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yao closed her eyes: "Why don't you just give me this little time?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing said nothing.
Of course she would not force Lin Yao to get up.
However, she didn't get up herself, but looked at Lin Yao lying in front of her.
Recently, with the advent of midsummer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
So Lin Yao rarely wore a skirt.
No more cover.
Mu Wanqing could clearly see the perfect curves of her long, snowy legs under the table, and all the way down the curve of her calves, the high-heeled sandals outlined a wonderful arc for her rounded arches.
It looks really good.
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao lying in front of her with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "You are really suitable for dresses..."
"Just like you are suitable for black stockings?"
Lin Yao suddenly opened her eyes and couldn't help laughing when she looked at Mu Wanqing squatting in front of her, her black stockings taut and a hint of flesh color exposed at her knees.
"More suitable than me."
Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, then moved forward, resting her chin on the edge of the table, looking at Lin Yao's moving face.
"How about I change with you?" Lin Yao put her long snowy legs together, lifted them up slightly, and made a suggestion: "I haven't seen you wearing anything other than a skirt."
"Yes, as long as you are willing."
Mu Wanqing smiled gently, reached out and gently held Lin Yao's thin white calf, and subconsciously moved her head forward: "But you definitely don't want to."
Lin Yao felt the breath on her face and slightly raised her white thigh that was being held, her calf tensed.
call.
The office suddenly became quiet.
Only the faint sound of breathing is left.
Lin Yao felt her face itching, then she adjusted her posture and moved towards Mu Wanqing.
The two are very close.
Mu Wanqing lightly pursed her glossy red lips, then hesitated for half a second, suddenly closed her eyes, and held Lin Yao's calf harder.
"...I really don't want to."
Lin Yao smiled softly and suddenly straightened up.
Mu Wanqing: "..."
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Lin Yao said confidently: "This is a company, business matters..."
Then she paused and continued in a low voice: "Let's talk about it later."
"What can we talk about later?"
Mu Wanqing suddenly tilted her head and turned around.
"I don't know! Let go of my legs, I'm ticklish."
Lin Yao gently kicked the long snowy legs under the table, then stretched out her hand to pull Mu Wanqing up: "Besides, get up quickly."
Mu Wanqing held Lin Yao's hand, supported the table with her other hand, and stood up from the ground with a smile.
But after getting up, she didn't let go of Lin Yao's hand.
Both of them seemed to understand each other very well.
Some window papers do get thinner and thinner over time.
"Is there anything you need me to take care of?"
Lin Yao leaned on the back of the chair, changed into a comfortable position, and asked.
"PTCRB passed, and other related certifications passed."
Mu Wanqing gently held her hand, straightened her expression, and got down to business: "The store in Los Angeles has also been closed."
"oh?"
Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard this: "Did those shareholders contribute?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes." Mu Wanqing nodded.
"Then it seems they are of some use."
Lin Yao was a little happy.
The so-called PTCRB is actually the operator access certification. No matter what kind of mobile phone, whether it is domestic or overseas, if you want to sell it, you cannot bypass the communication operator.
Lin Yao was actually preparing for overseas markets before the launch of Future S1.
The first batch of offline stores were not only domestic, but also overseas.
But the related certification is really troublesome.
YouMedia subsidiary, which was born out of the North American branch of Linmu Studio, has never been able to get it right.
Mainly because I just entered the game and the scale is not big.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Yao decided to raise funds.
And now that the certification has been passed, it means that the mobile phone can finally be sold overseas, at least in North America!
"Well, several suppliers are also interested in reaching long-term contracts with us. This is also due to the new shareholders."
Mu Wanqing nodded.
"Then get ready."
Lin Yao thought for a moment and made up her mind: "Offline stores will open normally and sell normally. However, in the early stage, our focus should not be on offline. We should rely on the sales channel of Switch to start online sales first."
"I understand that YouMedia's marketing department is already connecting with us and Linmu Financial Holdings."
"That's good……"
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and then said happily: "We can finally try to open overseas markets. Apart from the press conference at the end of the year, we only have one thing left to solve urgently."
"Which thing?" Mu Wanqing was a little curious.
"that is……"
Lin Yao was about to speak.
But the next second.
Sudden……
Ding!
[Congratulations! Encourage the mission to make Linmu Studio’s game fans confident in the future again! (Satisfaction reached more than 90%, current satisfaction is 97%) - mission completed! 】
[Congratulations! Rewarded - the overall mobile phone-related R&D projects will receive acceleration BUFF]
[Congratulations! Considering the extraordinary performance of Linmu Studio (97% satisfaction), we received an additional reward - a mobile payment system construction plan (to be received)]
【……】
Lin Yao looked at the words that appeared in front of her eyes and was slightly startled.
"Lin Yao?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was suddenly stunned, feeling a little strange.
Lin Yao came back to her senses and continued: "It's... the establishment of a mobile payment system!"
"Mobile payment?"
Mu Wanqing was a little confused.
Lin Yao looked away from the translucent instructions in front of her, looked at Mu Wanqing, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, haven't there been many users saying it recently? It's too troublesome to purchase paid apps on the Future Store."
"But there's nothing we can do about it." Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment: "We definitely can't change the financial system."
"There is a way."
Lin Yao shook her head slightly, looked at the translucent instructions in front of her, and continued: "It will be more troublesome and risky, but we can try it on a small scale first, from Linmu Studio, Linmu Financial Holdings and You Media
We are working hard with our main banks. Given our size, we still have a good chance of convincing them to connect...it will be useful by the end of the year."
"..." Mu Wanqing became even more confused.
Lin Yao saw Mu Wanqing's face and knew that it would be difficult to explain it clearly to her in a few words, so she smiled softly and explained in detail.
In fact, mobile payment.
Lin Yao has long wanted to build it.
But...it's really troublesome.
This trouble comes not only from within, but also from higher levels.
Finance has always been very sensitive.
The mobile payment in Lin Yao's previous life was so convenient in the end, which was the result of the joint efforts and regulation of several giants.
If you do it rashly before the time is up, mobile payment will not be much more convenient.
Let’s take the simplest example.
The direct connection in her previous life was cut off - that is, the third-party payment institution cut off the direct connection to the bank.
No private company can take the initiative to promote this.
And what would mobile payment look like before the direct connection was disconnected?
Third-party payment institutions are directly connected to banks.
This means that such third-party payment cannot monitor the true flow of funds and cannot determine whether the transaction actually exists...
This is really a troublesome thing.
It can easily be used illegally.
Rather, it involves money.
Nothing is troublesome.
Lin Yao never made up her mind because she was thinking of a solution.
Now the system reward has given her a little confidence and allowed him to really make up his mind.
soon.
Lin Yao finished explaining.
After hearing this, Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up and she said in disbelief: "This..."
"Very convenient, right?"
Lin Yao smiled: "Consumption is paid by complicated online banking U-shield and turned into a virtual account."
Yes.
What Lin Yao plans to build is a virtual account payment system.
To put it simply, it was the mobile payment solution she used before she matured in her previous life.
A virtual account is an electronic wallet, which is essentially a prepaid card.
Nowadays, for online banking payment, you still need to plug the USB shield into the computer, and then enter the dynamic combination password.
But there is a virtual account.
This allows users, at least those who purchase Linmu Studio products, to directly enter their password to pay.
Mu Wanqing thought about it carefully and asked: "But it's not easy to set up, right? No matter what, there must be a recharge step for the user's money. If it also supports withdrawal, it will be even more troublesome..."
"Yes, so in order to solve this problem, we are very busy next. To make it convenient for users, we will then have to conduct business negotiations with the online banking systems of multiple banks one after another to let them connect to our payment system."
Lin Yao explained: "We also need to open public accounts in multiple banks... in order to improve settlement efficiency and reduce settlement costs."
This is the difficulty for first movers.
You have to overcome obstacles.
Only in order to achieve a seemingly simple goal in Lin Yao's previous life.
"..." Mu Wanqing finally understood the mobile payment system Lin Yao was talking about, and then couldn't help but take a breath.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course, it is troublesome, but if it can really be built, I predict that it will surprise everyone by the end of the year..."
Lin Yao saw the rare cute expression on the face of the imperial sister Mu Wanqing and smiled softly: "How is it? Are you confident?"
"have."
Mu Wanqing reacted and nodded.
"Then prepare, accompany me to You Media tomorrow, coordinate with the three companies, and have people negotiate with the bank. You will be busy next."
Lin Yao stood up: "If you want to go online by the end of the year, you will be even busier. First, there is internal coordination and the establishment of the payment system, the establishment of the settlement department, then business negotiations, and then we have to consider the announcement of the launch...
And you have to be prepared, no matter how good the plan is, there is still a risk of deviating from the plan. After all, ecology is mostly developed under the fierce market competition environment and the pressure of survival and development."
"...I'm more worried about you."
Mu Wanqing nodded, then looked at Lin Yao's face and hesitated for a moment: "Are you really too busy to come here?"
"It didn't work before."
Lin Yao shook her head, then glanced at the virtual translucent font, then focused on Mu Wanqing's face, and smiled: "But don't you have help now?"
Mu Wanqing pursed her red lips and held her hand tightly: "..."
The sun shines on the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lin Yao turned her back to the sun and smiled brightly.
…
One week later.
Linmu Studio established a sub-division.
But this time it wasn't too eye-catching.
Because Linmu Studio did not disclose what this sub-department is used for.
Plus this is an internal matter at Linmu Studio.
Linmu Studio is not listed yet.
So don't talk about outsiders.
Many Linmu Studio staff don't know what this new department does, which is separate from all product departments.
And at the same time.
The business department of Lin Mu Studio made an appointment with the senior bank executives with whom it mainly dealt.
Lin Yao came forward to meet with the other party in person.
And this meeting.
It didn't cause any waves either.
but.
Lin Yao's goal was achieved...
Because Linmu Studio’s annual turnover is terrible, the other party did not refuse Linmu Studio’s request for online banking access, which was not excessive.
certainly.
This is just the main bank for Linmu Studio.
The next business negotiations with other banks will be the most troublesome.
It's a long way to go...
In addition to the frequent actions within Lin Mu Studio.
external.
Other companies have also taken many actions.
finally.
The popularity of Switch has subsided slightly.
Many game companies who really thought that Linmu Studio was going to join the Switch to compete in mobile games finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I can boldly advance other mobile game projects.
Although many of them don't want to admit it.
But Lin Mu Studio’s every move does affect them.
Linmu Studio has dual roles as the majority shareholder of YouMedia and the leader of traditional games. After the first six mobile games, it has not launched a new mobile game.
So it is reasonable for them to worry.
In fact.
Although the popularity of Switch has waned slightly.
But many colleagues are still worried that Linmu Studio is not optimistic about mobile games.
And this situation has only continued.
A player broke out.
The North American version of the Vaporwave gaming platform has pre-orders for Future S1!
Yes.
Now.
North America also supports Future S1 online ordering!
the same day.
News of the official opening of Future offline stores in North America has been reported again!
The news was sudden.
It was still fine yesterday.
the next day.
News of the opening has arrived!
Before anyone could react...the store was already open!
