Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Tencent headquarters.

In the CEO's office, Brother Xiao Ma stared at a red gift bag on the table with twitching corners of his eyes.

Yao Yuan has already done this kind of thing once. When he and Yin Yin got married, he gave Xiao Ma and Lao Ma a pack of wedding candy respectively.

Why don't you accept this thing? It's not a dangerous item, so it seems petty.

Accepted it, it is very annoying.

The main reason is that there is a card inside, and there are words on the card. What if there is any important information... The people from Tencent have no choice but to bite the bullet and send it.

"..."

Brother Xiaoma stared at the gift package for a long time before opening it. Inside was a 99 commemorative doll and a card with the words: You are my grandson... Ah, no!

It reads: "Waiting for the middle of summer, the lotus blossoms first, the game of swimming fish, the vegetation grows, and Yanshan Mountain can be seen. It's not far away, if you can swim from me..."

Brother Xiaoma didn't understand.

You can't expect a programmer to understand classical Chinese, or an improved version. Of course he doesn't want to understand, this thing looks like a provocation!

In fact, with his personality, he really didn't want to promise anything [peak dialogue].

The organizer is clearly picking things up. Wechat has already lost, so what the fuck? So he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, PK before the battle, fleeing before the battle, it hurts morale!

Tencent employees have a shadow of 99. If the coach is timid, he may not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

So he still decided to go, and he had to make thorough preparations.

…………

Shanghai.

The office building of the incubation base, Mihayou.

The group of six is ​​still fighting for the new game, sometimes bursting with inspiration, sometimes scratching their hearts and lungs, and sometimes quarreling. While he was busy, Liu Wei suddenly answered a phone call.

I went out to chat for a long time before I came back, but when I came back, I had a wretched smile on my face.

This person may not be wretched, but his nerdy demeanor and appearance make him look wretched.

"Good news! Good news!"

He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "The Mobile Internet Conference will be held in Beijing next month, Mr. Song asked us to go together!"

"Is there a plane ticket?"

"How much is the meal?"

"Do you live in a five-star hotel?"

"Can you see Doraemon?"

A group of otaku chattered lively, Liu Wei maintained order, and said: "Food, lodging and transportation should be included. Mr. Song said that this time the specifications are very high, and many bigwigs will attend. Skye Network has a special event, we as developers Go to help."

"Do you want to display your works?" Cai Haoyu asked.

"It's fine if you have that meaning. Let me briefly introduce the genre, background, and gameplay."

"Oh, then I'll make a sample."

After Cai Haoyu asked, he stopped talking and put on his headphones to continue working. Today he wore a combat uniform of Shinji Ikari from "EVA" and played cosplay by himself.

Luo Yuhao asked: "Will 99 participate?"

"I don't know, such a big meeting should be attended."

"Wow, then I must go to see Commander Yao!"

"Go together, Maiwo was my only spiritual food back then."

"Hey, I entered the first Goddess Contest, but it's a pity that they are all three-dimensional women. It would be great if I chose the second dimension."

"I think Maiwo was indeed at the forefront of the times before, but now it's a bit conservative. Look at their games, they are still those old-fashioned martial arts, Jianghu, and Xiuxian. It's not interesting."

"I think "DNF" and "League of Legends" are good!"

""DNF" is fun, "League of Legends" is too tiring, I don't like competitive games, the game should be relaxed and cute."

A few people started chatting, and after chatting for a while, it was like a sudden shutdown, the conversation ended, and they were busy again. This is their normal work.

And Liu Wei, the only extroverted butler, has another task, to make a brief speech and introduce a new game.

So amidst the crackling sound of typing on the keyboard, he bent over his desk and scratched his head, biting the barrel of his pen in distress.

...

In the not-too-distant era of functional phones, there would be application software. If you want to develop something, you must use JAVA as the basis.

At that time, there was a company called Sky Network, and the boss was Song Tao.

He built a mobile phone operating platform - the bubble community, including QQ, games, Internet access, music, books, etc., but only 1/3 the size of the same JAVA file.

In fact, it is an app store in the feature phone era, probably the first in China to do this.

Their technology is very good, and they can run smoothly under very bad hardware. In layman's terms: Skye can't compete with big brands such as Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola, and can only find counterfeit phones with bad configuration.

But later it was also very powerful. Skye unified the built-in software of the copycat machine, developed more than 20 million users, and successfully listed in the United States.

At the end of 2011, Skye encountered short selling in the US stock market, but at this moment, Skye invested 1 million in Mihayou, which was a kind of psychology of buying lottery tickets.

It's best to win, and if you don't win, you will lose 1 million.

With the 1 million, MiHoYo developed a game "Honkai Academy", which is the "beautiful girl kills zombies" game they are working on.

Mainly on the Apple platform, there are almost no publicity resources, the response is mediocre, and the results are not good.

Mihayou once faced bankruptcy. At that time, some investors came to look for them and wanted to invest, but they all asked to change the project and let them make Three Kingdoms, martial arts, and immortal games.

was rejected.

In Liu Wei's words: "We really want to start a business, but the premise is to do what we want to do. At that time, many people thought that the field of domestic animation had no future, and they couldn't make money in the past.

But we just want to do it, so we are still very decisive, we have to stick to it, at worst, we will take a step at a time in the future..."

So in 2014, "Honkai Academy 2" was launched. The main reason for the great success of this game is that in addition to its own level, it also found the right channel. They cooperated with Station B, which had become a second-dimensional base at that time.

This kind of fit is like Lu Benwei pouring cappuccino - it's a sure thing!

Little John Khan married Yui Aragaki—a match made in heaven!

Qin Shihuang touched the switch - win numb! !

Since then, the glorious history of MiHoYo has begun...

As for Skye Network, when the smart phone came, it failed to transform well, so that it gradually withdrew from the stage, but it is still alive now, and switched to marketing and smart medical care.

The most amazing thing is that Skye's boss, Song Tao, still owns 15% of MiHoYo's shares...

Now 2012 is the most embarrassing transition period for Skye Networks. It is a strong application player in the feature phone era and is very representative, so it was also invited to the Mobile Internet Conference.

It stands to reason that Skye is also an application channel.

But Yao Yuan hated this, hated that, and made 91 directly dirty, and didn't touch Skye... Well, there are no complicated factors, it's just because he didn't like the remnants of the functional phone era.

Short name: Not enough.

(besides……)
