Yin Lian was at home but didn't know about the turmoil outside.
But even if she didn't know about the ups and downs outside, she could roughly guess the current situation by just opening the chat software and checking the messages from different people.
--all the best.
It had barely been a week before someone sent a message asking when the next batch of spices would be available. Yin Lian read all the messages with a smile, but did not give any reply at all and continued to do her own thing.
Although she didn't know about the limited sales, she knew very well that the other party's demand for spices may not be that urgent, but they were just deliberately pretending to be very urgent.
She tried hard to act like a store owner.
However, preparing more spices is also a must.
Yin Lian thought about it and felt that in order to facilitate her activities, she currently needed to focus on planning three things. One was to establish a more convenient trading platform to make it easier to trade with others while concealing her identity. The second thing is to find a fixed place where she can safely travel through time and space without arousing suspicion. She doesn't want to have to go in and out every time when going to the toilet or taking a shower. The third thing is to gain the ability to protect yourself... If you have a chance this summer, please ask your uncle to take her over to learn how to shoot.
Selling spices is not a long-term solution, it is just a means for Yin Lian to accumulate funds in the short term.
Another thing she lacked was manpower.
Compared to the other world, Yin Lian is actually more restrained in the real world. Yin Huai and Mrs. Yin will pay attention to her every move, so Yin Lian cannot act rashly at will, but often needs to be very careful.
When Yin Lian got up this morning, he found Yin Huai watching TV downstairs. She listened twice as she went downstairs and found out it was a piece of news.
Because of an oil resource discovered on the border, a territorial dispute broke out between China and three small countries in the south. The newspaper over there in USD used the topic to accuse China of hegemony.
Yin Lian thought: Uncle is going to be busy again.
It seems that there is no hope of playing with guns during the summer vacation.
Yin Huai saw her coming downstairs and immediately waved her over. Yin Lian went over and called daddy, and then Yin Huai said: "You got up so early during the summer vacation? What have you been busy with these two days?"
Yin Lian smiled and said, "I'm not busy with anything. I just go online and play games."
Yin Huai reached out and took out a bunch of tickets with unknown contents from his briefcase, stuffed them into Yin Lian and said, "It's not good to be bored at home all the time. These are tickets for several exhibitions, given by partners. There are also some free tickets for some clubs...Xiao Lian, you can see which one you are interested in, and you can go with your brothers."
Yin Lian took it and found that it was mainly tickets for some electronics exhibitions, game exhibitions, and invention exhibitions... There were two animation exhibitions sandwiched in between, and he didn't know where Yin Huai got them.
Yin Changsheng is definitely interested in the electronics exhibition, but Yin Lian is quite interested in the invention exhibition... Although her current goal is not too clear, she instinctively realizes that talents and knowledge in this area will be of great use to her future development.
Accept it decisively.
After telling the brothers about the matter, they were both very interested. Later, Wei Yu heard about this and agreed to go together.
This year's electronics show didn't bring much novelty to Yin Lian, which was the disadvantage of rebirth. You've seen the good stuff, and there's nothing interesting about the bad stuff.
Yin Lian is not a game geek, but he knows the game industry very well. This can be considered one of her assets to later become the "goddess" of a group of rich second-generation people - she can even play better than most boys.
No matter how you think about it, for some boys, it is more satisfying to be followed by a beautiful woman with god-level skills than to be followed by a little girl who can only act coquettishly and show off her cuteness. What's more, it's not that Yin Lian doesn't know how to act coquettishly and cutely. On the contrary, she is very good at acting coquettishly and is very good at pleasing anyone.
However, he doesn’t act like a baby easily, nor does he act like a baby in front of anyone.
She can pick up a sword and shield to challenge any of the top ten strong men on the hero list, but she is willing to follow someone with a staff for three years to make him invincible in every battle. If this is not true love in the eyes of people who don't know Yin Lian's inner coldness, what else can be considered true love?
But in fact, Yin Lian has never fallen in love with those proud and arrogant teenagers standing in front of her like peacocks with their tails spread.
She is too smart and sees too clearly, she sees too clearly how shallow and fragile their relationship is. What they want is the benefits she gives, those halos, those glory, those satisfactions, but they will never be willing to help her carry the weight, darkness and despicability that belong to her.
So she gave them what they wanted - a perfect, goddess-level best friend who could be used to show off, in exchange for what they could give - the same nothingness in the real world, but it could build a spider web that Yin Lian could walk on. friendship.
A smart girl never asks for something the other person cannot give. Because asking others to work hard to give things often requires you to give unbearable rewards in the end.
Fair trade, this is the best distance in the world and the safest distance.
That period of time did not leave many profound memories for Yin Lian, except for his outstanding game operation skills. Although she only practiced it in order to blend in with the group of boys, later on Yin Lian really fell in love with this kind of game activity.
Especially suitable for venting emotions.
It is also interesting to say that in the previous life, when Yin Lian played games, he was either assisting Jing Youbai or Yin Changning, but in this life, it is completely the other way around. It seems that in most games, Yin Lian is the one who leads the charge, while Yin Changning becomes her supporter.
Yin Lian looked at the exhibition boredly until she saw a familiar game.
"The Ice Whisperer".
Ah, she has an impression of this game.
This seems to be a game that later gained a good reputation, but was cut in half due to lack of funds and lack of optimism from investors at the time of its release. Yin Lian's heart moved and she walked into the exhibition hall.
The exhibition they participated in today was not very famous. Although there were some famous large-scale games, there were also many independent games. "Ice Whisperer" is such a game. It is a game with weak capital but good creativity and design.
The game was relaunched and remade many years later. However, compared with the unfinished first version, which one is better has been debated. Although there is an element of nostalgia in it, it is enough to show how classic the first version is.
Yin Lian still had some feelings left, so she turned around and planned to go in and take a look.
Yin Changsheng was stunned for a moment, took a look at the poster that looked a bit rough and crude, then caught up with Yin Lian and said, "This company's games look really bad."
Yin Lian said, "I'll just take a look."
Yin Changsheng didn't know what it was about such an unattractive stall that could attract his always cool and domineering sister to give in.
But he followed anyway.
There were only two young people, a man and a woman, in the stall. When they saw someone coming in, they immediately became energetic. However, after seeing the appearance of the person who came in, they felt disappointed.
Obviously they had different expectations.
However, Yin Lian can also understand their emotions - they always feel that their works are stunning and stunning and can shake the times, but then they find that no one appreciates them at all, and they will inevitably doubt themselves in the end.
"Ice Whisperer" is actually very rich in content, but unfortunately the graphics and accessibility are big obstacles, blocking many people who might appreciate it in the future.
However, according to its current publicity intensity, many people may not even know that such a game exists now.
Yin Lian always has a high tolerance for talented people, so even if the other person's attitude seemed a little unenthusiastic, she didn't care. Instead, she asked about the game in a gentle voice.
Although the people who came in were different from what was expected, they were still rare visitors to the exhibition. The clerks at the two booths cheered up and began to introduce the features of the game products to the three brothers and sisters.
"Ice Whisperer" is a very meaningful game. Although the two founders are not very eloquent, so it is not very attractive to use as an advantage, but it does not hinder Yin, who is always smart and has a good understanding of various games. Immortality captures some of the key points.
He asked a little doubtfully: "Is your game really so fun? I can't tell it at all."
The male clerk replied: "The picture is a bit shabby, but we don't have much money, so we have done our best to make it like this. Little brother, do you want to give it a try? The content will not let you down."
Yin Changsheng was deeply skeptical about this, but he was still attracted by the description of the game and started to try it out.
The initial trial was not smooth, and Yin Changsheng couldn't help complaining: "Who would use this kind of graphics in today's games?" "Where is your novice guide? There are no hotkeys, you can only go to the menu yourself. Look for it. If it weren’t for a veteran like me, I would not even be able to walk in the first place.”
The clerks were stunned for a moment before they seemed to suddenly realize the problem and began to carefully record the issues mentioned by Yin Changsheng.
In fact, Yin Changsheng hit the point.
Many independently produced original games have this problem, and the more classic the game, the more serious the problem is (the non-classic ones have long since died on the beach. The testing of original games is limited, and they can only rely more on player feedback. , and the result of game setters also serving as testers is that they easily have an inertial thinking, thinking that they themselves know some operations, and players will also know them - this is a bottleneck that many independently designed games are prone to.
But despite a lot of complaints, Yin Changsheng has obviously been attracted to "Ice Whisperer". Even if he complains that the combat method is not smooth and the operation is too troublesome, as a semi-finished game that has been remembered for many years, "Ice Whisperer" still has its own charm.
He played with great enthusiasm, and Yin Changning watched with rapt attention. From time to time, he gave Yin Changsheng advice to help him overcome obstacles, but this left the clerk useless.
This is a very good and promising work. Unfortunately, the main creative staff did not have enough confidence in their work, or they could not bear the financial and social pressure, so they finally chose to give up.
While the two brothers were addicted to trying out the game, Yin Lian started to seduce the female clerk: "Sister, did you make this game yourself?"
The female clerk didn't hide anything and nodded: "Yes, we did it with another friend."
Yin Lian said: "It's amazing. But sister, why don't you make the game more attractive? If the graphics are more attractive, everyone will be attracted to it more easily."
The female clerk was silent for a moment, then said: "It costs money to make the picture look good. We don't have that much money, so little sister, do you want to buy our game? If you buy the game, we will have money." Make the graphics look good. If a lot of people buy the game, we can make the game more perfect."
Yin Lian put her hand on the counter and asked her, "How much does it cost?"
The female clerk was stunned for a moment before replying: "Well, of course the more people the better. But if you want to continue making the game, you need at least a few thousand copies, right?"
"Ice Whisperer" is priced at 25 yuan, which is about 120,000 yuan for 5,000 people. It seems that this gaming group is really poor. Yin Lian sighed and asked the female clerk: "Sister, what do you do in the game group? Do you do art?"
The girl was stunned for a moment before replying: "We don't have art. The three of us are all programmers."
Yin Lian understood immediately - no wonder the graphics were so ugly, but the gameplay was so strong. It's a pity that no matter what product is now, it needs to be packaged.
She said to the young woman: "Does my sister know how to do that kind of website for buying and selling things?"
"As for the website, I can do it."
"Bingo!" Yin Lian suddenly laughed and said, "Sister, if you help me build a website privately, how about I get an investment for your game? It must be more than hundreds of thousands."
The female clerk was stunned by Yin Lian's suggestion.
Only then did she take a closer look at Yin Lian and found that this girl was extraordinary from head to toe. Needless to say, she is beautiful. More importantly, Yin Lian exudes the aura of "I am very expensive" from head to toe.
Hairstyles are expensive, hair accessories are expensive, clothes are expensive, backpacks are expensive, watches are expensive, and shoes look super expensive.
Among all the things, the young woman could only barely recognize the brand of the small leather bag and shoes because she had read gossip about them on the Internet.
She first calculated based on this standard, and for a moment everyone felt uncomfortable, and almost instinctively stepped back - for fear of damaging the famous doll in front of her.
Yin Lian couldn't guess the girl's psychological changes, so when he saw her reaction, he was stunned for a moment.
However, after the girl was stunned, hope emerged in her heart. Although she felt that Yin Lian's conditions were a bit puzzling - for general website construction, you can directly hire network workers to build it online, and the one-stop service only costs a few thousand yuan, no more than 10,000 yuan at most, but this girl said she would help them. Sponsorship, just to let them help build a website?
Yin Lian saw her hesitation, thought about it and guessed the reason, and said, "Actually, it's like this, sister, I am very optimistic about your game and think it is very promising, but I am just a child and I don't have the ability to invest in you. But it’s nothing to introduce to capable people... You see, you have all benefited, what do I have? I still have to bother to persuade, isn’t it too much of a loss? "
"So sister, you have to do something for me."
According to Yin Lian's judgment, the game "Ice Whisperer" can definitely make money. She is more than 80% sure. Of course, the game itself still needs some more commercial improvements, such as novice guidance, combat mechanics and the like, which will definitely have to be redone later. But these have nothing to do with Yin Lian. If things go well, professionals will naturally provide opinions on this aspect.
But for such a promising project, Yin Lian himself could not invest. She wants to invest, where will the money come from? Whose is the final gain? These are things that cannot be explained clearly. Even if she could get the money, she didn't have a legitimate excuse or source, which aroused suspicion.
Essentially, it's because Yin Lian doesn't really regard himself as a member of the Yin family. Although she eats from the Yin family and drinks from the Yin family, her pursuit of the Yin family has always only been at the level of survival needs, and she has never truly regarded the Yin family's property as her own. Her flesh and blood comes from Yin Huai and Madam Yin, so she accepts their upbringing and is willing to follow their teachings to a certain extent...but this has a limit.
Yin Lian wanted to recommend this project to Yin Huai. Although the profit may not guarantee a huge profit, it is at least a promising project. Since Yin Lian couldn't invest in it himself, he was emotionally more inclined to let the Yin family get it. But the benefits the Yin family received had nothing to do with her interests in her heart.
Because the Yin family is not the Yin family of Yin Lian.
Yin Lian felt that as an intermediary, she should receive some additional compensation as a matter of course.
Without knowing from whom Yin Lian wanted to attract investment for her, the female clerk actually agreed with her idea. She asked Yin Lian with some doubt: "Can you really attract investment for us?"
Yin Lian said: "We can negotiate good terms. If we can't get him, we'll talk about it later."
The girl is a little excited.
She walked over and discussed with her companions for a while. Later, when the boy saw that Yin Changsheng and the others were enjoying themselves, he simply ignored them. He left the two brothers and walked over and started talking to Yin Lian.
Yin Lian briefly stated his conditions. Her request was not difficult, and it didn't take too much effort. The other party agreed after thinking about it, provided that Yin Lian could attract investment for them.
Although they talked a lot, it only lasted a few minutes. After all, it was not a formal contract, just a verbal agreement. After the two parties agreed, Yin Lian turned around and walked towards the Yin brothers.
The key to convincing Yin Huai to invest is Yin Changsheng and Yin Changning brothers.
In terms of prospects and profits alone, Yin Lian was confident in convincing Yin Huai that this was a profitable investment. But who is Yin Huai? Does he lack this little money? How much profit can an independent game make even if it goes to hell?
But from another perspective, investing in such a game is just a piece of cake for Yin Huai.
Compared to Yin Lian, who was still carefully exchanging star-dew fruit powder for tens of thousands of dollars, Yin Huai was a wealthy man who was not short of money at all. This rich man cannot be lured with small profits, but needs to be persuaded from other aspects.
For example, my son likes it.
So the first thing Yin Lian has to do is to convince the brothers Yin Changsheng and Yin Changning to become interested in "Ice Whisperer" and guide their ideas in the direction of investing in and sponsoring the game. If Yin Changsheng and Yin Changning are so interested in doing this, and Yin Lian adds some fuel to the fire from a rational perspective, things will naturally fall into place.
In fact, theoretically speaking, Yin Lian is also Yin Huai's biological daughter, so there is no reason why she can't say that she likes her. However, she always remembered that she was a daughter who had become a monk on the way. Just as she carefully maintained the distance from the group of young masters and ladies back then, she valued the "property" of her own decisions.
She didn't want to give Yin Huai and Mrs. Yin the impression of being too greedy and willful.
With this thought in mind, Yin Lian walked to Yin Changsheng, looked at him for a while, and then said: "Changsheng, you are too stupid, you can die like this?"
Yin Changsheng said: "The combat operations are too unreasonable, okay? This is the first time I have seen such anti-human operations!"
Yin Lian smiled and said, "That means your level is not good enough for class, okay?"
Generally speaking, Yin Changsheng would have become angry if he was ridiculed like this. However, because it was Yin Lian, the brother and sister had already quarreled over the past few years and had already developed a tacit understanding. Yin Changsheng did not take his sister's poisonous tongue seriously, and just said: "Do you think you are very confident when you say that? Okay, come on, show me what you do."
He made way for Yin Lian.
He really feels that this game operation is anti-human. In fact, after playing for a while and having a general understanding of the operation, he personally felt that "Ice Whisperer" was better than expected - it did have its own merits.
But anti-humanity operations almost always make people irritable, and he doesn't believe that Yin Lian can be any better than him.
But he was wrong.
Yin Lian had played Ice Whisperer before, and was quite skilled at it. No matter how harsh, difficult and unfriendly the controls and difficulty are, it's just the same thing if you get the hang of it.
Not only did Yin Lian easily clear the map and reach the next mission location, he also touched several points that Yin Changsheng didn't know about. Yin Lian used a time difference combo to kill a mini-boss. Yin Changsheng was stunned: "Is there another move like this?"
The young man from the production team immediately came up and said: "Press the arrow keys three times and then press the e key again, and you will directly enter the magic weapon state."
Yin Changsheng was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Did I skip the introduction?"
"Uh..." the young man said a little bit angrily, "This is content left to the players to explore on their own."
Yin Changsheng also learned from Yin Lian's venomous remarks recently and said, "You leave too much content for the players to explore on their own, right? Don't you think your game is a bit too much for players to explore?"
The young man was actually aware of the problem. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Now that I have discovered it, I will improve it when I go back."
However, Yin Changsheng felt that the other party needed to improve far more than these.
However, Yin Lian played smoothly. Not only is it smooth, but she also plays a lot of tricks - this game has a high degree of freedom and the plot is also very interesting. Yin Changsheng has rarely seen works of this style in domestic games. It's a pity that the crappy graphics and anti-human operation are simply the ultimate obstacles that prevent newcomers from experiencing its beauty.
Yin Changsheng felt that if he hadn't been highly skilled, he would have uninstalled the game within five minutes of installing it under normal circumstances.
However, after watching for a while and seeing Yin Lian playing happily, Yin Changsheng couldn't help but reach out to grab the mouse and keyboard. Naturally, Yin Lian refused to give it, so she stretched out her foot to kick him.
Yin Changsheng begged pitifully: "Let me play for a while."
Yin Lian said: "Then you promise me something."
"What
