In Zhou Yan’s view, future mobile games will definitely be a money-making tool.
Penguin Timi Studio’s Honor of Kings can earn 150 million yuan a day just by releasing new skins.
The gold-making ability of mobile games was really not comparable to that of PC games later, and it was even called the most profitable thing of the era.
If you really do a mobile game project, it might not be impossible.
But if it is used to participate in competitions, it will be difficult to develop a high-quality mobile game in just three months.
Even setting up a mobile game studio is not something that can be realized with just one idea.
Including talent recruitment issues.
Let’s leave a note for now.
Zhou Yan wrote about mobile games in his notebook.
I wrote about home, Kuaiyong, takeaway, taxi, and short video one after another.
It's just that after Zhou Yan finished writing, he crossed out his home first.
Jiayuan App can participate in competitions as a project, and it can also be used to gain popularity and make Jiayuan App become popular in colleges and universities.
However, the development of Jiayuan app has been gradually improved. If Zhou Yan chose this project, it would be suspected of being a trick.
Since it wants to set an example, Jiayuan app can only be excluded temporarily.
The Kuaiyong app is something Zhou Yan has been planning for a long time.
I told Zhou Wan before that Zhulang Studio currently mainly operates the Jiayuan app, and the Kuaiyong app is indeed somewhat incompetent.
But Kuaiyong app is actually not difficult to make. The real difficulty lies in how to use the idea of big data in Kuaiyong’s screening algorithm. Today, Kuaiyong app is not well-known, but its user stickiness is very high, with more than one million users. There are hundreds of thousands of daily active users in it every day. As a mobile application market, the conversion efficiency is actually very high.
However, if Kuaiyong App is used to participate in an entrepreneurial competition, it will not be significant enough. He plans to open another company to operate Kuaiyong App independently, but not necessarily with the help of the competition.
Zhou Yan still prefers to use the hands of major companies such as Penguin, Alibaba, and Baidu to promote Kuaiyong apps.
The traffic of these Internet companies on the PC side is what Zhou Yan really cares about.
Zhou Yan shook his head and crossed out the quick use again.
"Takeaway...take a taxi..."
Zhou Yan thought for a while, and finally crossed out everything he wrote next.
In fact, if you really want to do these things, you can do it with a little effort.
But if you sacrifice these things in order to win an award in an entrepreneurial competition, it would be a bit anxious.
It's like a pauper who knows that there is gold buried under a tree, but once he digs it out, many people will come over to snatch the gold together.
So he could only hold it in for the time being and wait until everyone was gone before digging.
Zhou Yan also feels a bit like this now, and he looks at the mobile game he wrote at the beginning.
After the idea of mobile games appeared, it has been lingering in his mind.
Just making mobile games, what kind of mobile games are good?
If you put aside the competition, in the current domestic environment, what mobile games should be made is also an issue worth considering.
Zhou Yan fell into deep thought,
Dongdong.
It turned out to be very quiet in the office.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Zhou Yan put away his notebook and said.
The door was pushed open, and it was Xing Xuan. When she saw Zhou Yan sitting on the office chair, she also smiled and said hello: "Senior, you are indeed here."
The temperature in Hongcheng is getting warmer today. Xing Xuan is wearing a white suspender dress, which is simple and pure without losing her temperament. Her delicate white shoulders and collarbones are exposed, which makes her a little more elegant.
This is a girl who is very similar to Yan Mo. Like Yan Mo, she has the unique scholarly temperament and elegance of city girls.
But unlike Xiao Mo, Xing Xuan may be more interested in things that interest her.
And he knows how to pursue his own interests and will not give up just because he is someone else.
Zhou Yan could even feel that although Xing Xuan seemed close to him, there was still a subtle sense of distance underneath.
"Xiaoxuan is here."
Zhou Yan stood up with a smile and said hello to Xing Xuan.
"Senior, I'm here to hand in the form."
Xing Xuan had already arrived in front of Zhou Yan and handed the form in her hand to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan looked at the form that Xing Xuan had filled out. There was also a photo of Xing Xuan from before. She had slightly curly short hair and looked very innocent.
However, Zhou Yan only glanced at it and put Xing Xuan's form into the filing cabinet.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxuan."
Zhou Yan raised his head and said to Xing Xuan.
"It's not hard."
Xing Xuan smiled and sat on the sofa next to the office very naturally. She patted both sides with her little hands and said, "Senior, your office is very impressive."
"Well, it's okay."
The decoration of Hong Chuan Academy's office is indeed unmatched by other colleges. It is spacious and very impressive at the same time.
Zhou Yan made a cup of tea for Xing Xuan: "Why did Xiaoxuan come here so early to hand in the form? It doesn't matter if it's a few days late."
"Aren't you going to discuss your next business plan with your senior? As soon as I guessed it, you're still busy here."
Xing Xuan said with a smile. She picked up the tea Zhou Yan made for her and did not forget to say: "Thank you, senior."
"Xiaoxuan, you can actually call me Zhou Yan. Even the seniors and seniors call me old."
Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head.
"Then...Zhou Yan."
Xing Xuan did not insist on calling her senior Zhou Yan this time.
"Um."
Zhou Yan nodded, but the next moment he heard Xing Xuan say: "Since Zhou Yan asked me to call you by your real name, you can also call me by my real name. Xiaoxuan and Xiaoxuan also seem a little closer."
Zhou Yan didn't expect that Xiao Nizi would care about this place.
He smiled and said: "The innovation and technology class will also exist as a class after that. I will be your mentor at least then. Why do I call you Xiaoxuan?"
But Xing Xuan bulged her mouth and said angrily: "Zhou Yan, you don't even allow me to call you senior, so why do you call me Xiaoxuan?"
In fact, if Zhou Yan could sit closer, Zhou Yan could see Xing Xuan's two little feet bouncing on the flip-flops.
Zhou Yan only thought that Xing Xuan had a girlish character, so he simply followed Xing Xuan's thoughts and said with a smile: "Then I'll call you Xing Xuan from now on."
Xing Xuan's little feet stopped and her little hands were twisted together. It was obvious that the girl was a little confused at this time.
"Senior, you should call me Xiaoxuan." Xingxuan muttered.
"Okay, Xing Xuan." Zhou Yan said.
Xing Xuan always felt that the word 'Xing Xuan' was full of life. She stood up and sat down next to Zhou Yan. She said a little stubbornly: "It's Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan."
Seeing that Zhou Yan had no reaction, Xing Xuan shook Zhou Yan's arm again: "Are you okay, senior?"
Zhou Yan didn't know that the little girl was being stubborn with him before, nor did he know how obsessed Xing Xuan was with the title 'senior'.
But there are many girls who are sensitive to titles like uncle and uncle.
Zhou Yan was no longer surprised.
But being a little close to Xing Xuan, Zhou Yan could smell Xing Xuan's unique body fragrance.
It smells pretty good.
Shen Li and Tang Tang are not here, and Zhou Yan does not object to sitting closer to Xing Xuan.
"How are you, senior?" Xing Xuan looked at Zhou Yan expectantly.
"Okay, Xiaoxuan." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"That's right." Xing Xuan let go of Zhou Yan's arm and smiled sweetly.
She felt that she was in a much better mood now.
Of course, she did not forget the purpose of her visit at this time.
"Senior, how was the conversation with Zhulang, Manager Zhang Long from Penguin?" Xing Xuan pretended to be just curious and wanted to know.
In fact, she also wants to care about the progress.
After all, she has already said hello to her mother's men at cmc, so she shouldn't mess up the matter.
"Zhang Long will join Zhulang later."
Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Xing Xuan also felt a little incredible when she heard Zhou Yan's words.
She originally thought that Zhou Yan had other plans when he wanted Penguin to invest in the company.
As a result, now, Zhang Long is coming to chase the waves.
Zhang Long's information cmc had provided her, and Xing Xuan also knew that Zhang Long was a relatively powerful algorithm engineer.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
However, cmc's internal information clearly positions Zhang Long higher. He is the talent that their cmc headhunters have always wanted to poach.
Xing Xuan didn't expect that due to a strange combination of circumstances, Zhang Long would be poached to chase the waves.
She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Senior, how did you do it?"
Zhou Yan thought to himself, can I say that it was Zhang Long who stepped into the trap himself?
He explained with a smile: "Maybe Zhang Long was not successful at Penguin. He saw that we have great development potential in Zhulang, so he planned to work together with us."
"That's certainly possible."
cmc has evaluated Zhulang’s development potential, and the financing standards have been strictly based on the evaluation.
Xing Xuan also nodded in agreement.
She didn't dwell on this issue anymore, it was just Zhang Long.
"By the way, senior, have you thought about the next project we can start a business together?" Xing Xuan asked curiously.
Zhang Long's matter was just a casual question. If Zhou Yan needed help, Xing Xuan would also use the power of cmc. This was the main purpose of her coming to Zhou Yan today.
"Xiaoxuan, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile.
"I listen to the seniors." Xing Xuan said at this time, especially without any opinion.
Zhou Yan knew that Xing Xuan was playing rogue, so he smiled helplessly: "Actually, I have an idea."
Meeting Xing Xuan's curious gaze, Zhou Yan said, "Actually, I have the idea of starting a game studio."
"At present, there is an obvious gap in the mobile phone game market, which is very suitable to start, but there is no entry point for the time being." Zhou Yan explained.
"Mobile game?"
Xing Xuan's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she couldn't help but ask: "Senior, at present, domestic Internet companies are focusing on client games. Do mobile games really have market prospects?"
Zhou Yan smiled: "Not only that, I even estimate that in the future, the mobile game market will hold up half the sky."
"Senior, can you tell me the reason?"
Xing Xuan is actually very interested in games, but in her spare time, she plays more PC games such as World of Warcraft and CrossFire.
Now that I hear Zhou Yan say that mobile games have good development prospects and can even replace PC games in the future, I am still a little curious as to why Zhou Yan has such an idea.
CMC's internal evaluation of herself as a senior is that she is a visionary and capable freshman with a virtual net worth of 30 million. Xing Xuan also knows that Zhou Yan's vision has always been unclear.
Otherwise, I would not have reached a cooperation with Luyuan Transportation when I first came to Hongcheng and became the general agent for college orientation.
These are all information that my senior student has not made public.
cmc’s ability to collect intelligence is not to mention, and Zhou Yan went to Huayu Investment to buy stocks and met cmc president Jiang Lianyi. This is also the reason why Huayu came to help Zhulang Studio tide over the difficulties. It was not as good as outsiders showed. Simple.
After all, Xing Xuan was also very annoyed when Fang Sheng's Wei Guangming provoked Zhulang Studio like this.
Now that Wei Guangming has gone to Sanwu Factory to eat dust, Fang Sheng's CEO Xiao He sold Fang Sheng to Huayu. If it weren't for the speculation that Zhou Yan and Huayu's President Jiang might be friends, Xing Xuan would definitely let Murong Yunyan go. Take action against Flower Language.
Where will Huayu get a chance to become bigger?
Of course, these are all digressions. Xing Xuan is still curious as to why the senior will focus on the untapped market of mobile games.
"Because it's simple."
Zhou Yan has been thinking about the feasibility of the mobile game business plan, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally came to this conclusion.
"Simple?"
Xing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Senior, the profit model of mobile games has always been very immodest. Nowadays, mobile games that are a little bit cheating basically have nothing to do with operators, while mobile games that are more formal, Most of them are stand-alone games. If you make money purely through advertising, the production cost is also a problem."
Zhou Yan knows what Xing Xuan means. The current domestic mobile game development environment is actually not very good. There is no systematic profit model and it is still in the exploratory stage. Coupled with the all-round popularity of smartphones, there is indeed no real mobile game. What development environment.
Basically, all popular mobile games on the market are open source and exist in the application market.
If you have access to an operator, you can use the method of deducting phone bills to open treasure chests, but there is not much profit point.
"If domestic mobile games are not profitable, what about foreign ones?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile.
In fact, when he was thinking about mobile games just now, he also thought about e-commerce.
The hot topic of e-commerce in 2022 is cross-border e-commerce.
Domestic products are sold abroad through formal electronic sales industry chain agents, and self-employed individuals earn a good commission from the process.
It is not impossible to apply cross-border e-commerce ideas to mobile games.
"Abroad...senior, do you mean to make mobile games and sell them abroad?" Xing Xuan felt that she couldn't follow Zhou Yan's ideas.
She didn't expect that Zhou Yan had not focused on China from the beginning, but on abroad.
If you are abroad....
"Yes, in fact, we can not make mobile games, but be a platform for mobile game agents. Users develop mobile games and upload them to our platform, and we help operate the mobile games as agents and do middleman business. "
Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Currently, there are many game agency platforms on the computer side. If major Internet companies want to agency games, they basically look for these platforms. However, there are no platforms for mobile games. It can be said to be a real gap in the market.”
Xing Xuan understood what Zhou Yan meant. Zhou Yan wanted to be an agent for mobile games.
Package domestic mobile games and sell them in mature foreign market environments.
"But senior, mobile games are not easy, and there are not many mobile game companies on the market." Xing Xuan couldn't help but remind her.
Zhou Yan smiled: "Has Xiaoxuan ever played the games in the Apple iOS store?"
Xing Xuan was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhou Yan's instructions.
"Senior, what you mean...is to be an agent for small games, and then package them and sell them to Apple stores?" Xing Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, since Apple provides a ready-made opportunity to make money, why can't we take advantage of it? No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Besides, given the size of Apple abroad, it may not be mosquito meat." Zhou Yan explained with a smile.
"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs?" Xing Xuan winked playfully.
"It depends on whether this old hen is fat or not." Zhou Yan laughed.
