Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Brother Jian, let's go to Zou Tao's place to take a look."

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing at Zou Tao's place?"

"I heard that he is planning to create a mobile version of Legend. Let's see how he does it?"

In fact, you could play Legend on Lizi mobile phone before.

But at that time it was just a hard play, and Legend was not developed specifically for Pear Mobile.

At that time, the announcement that legends could be played on mobile phones was nothing more than hype.

If you really want to play it, any player will go crazy.

However, after the appearance of Super Pear, mobile version of online games became possible.

Therefore, at this time, many game companies were the first to want to turn PC online games into mobile online games.

Zou Tao was the first to have such an idea.

At that time, before Super Pear was launched, Zou Tao had already started making it.

Looking at it now, it should be almost finished.

"It's still too stuck. You guys need to solve it here."

"Can the operation be simplified? The phone is too complicated and difficult to operate."

"It also needs to be optimized here."

Arriving at the Huanyu Game Department, Zou Tao was in a meeting.

While holding the super pear, Zou Tao asked various questions from time to time.

Seeing Chen Yu and Zhang Jianming arriving, Zou Tao quickly put down his phone and stepped forward: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

"Let's take a look at your mobile version of Legend. How is it? How is the development going?"

"Don't mention it, there are many unresolved issues."

Zou Tao frowned.

"Oh, what questions?"

"The first is the issue of lagging. After optimization several times, there are still problems."

"This has a lot to do with Internet speed, and it's not entirely your fault."

"In addition to this, there are also problems with operation. We are looking for ways to simplify it."

"Oh, really, what operations?"

"For example, regarding this selection issue, our Super Pear does not have a mouse, so it is difficult to attack designated characters and monsters."

"This is easy too."

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Let me see your legend."

When Zou Tao tried it, he handed the super pear to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu just took a look and understood: "There is a problem with the way you control the character's movement. Why are the up, down, left, and right keys used?"

"Mr. Chen, isn't it the up, down, left and right buttons?"

Zou Tao asked subconsciously.

The up and down left buttons on the keyboard have always been used to control character movement.

For example, when playing CS or Bubble Hall, you always use the left and right keys.

"Although the up, down, left and right keys can be used, they are not accurate. For example, what if I want to walk diagonally?"

"Then you can press two keys at the same time."

Pointing to the four virtual keyboards on Super Pear, Zou Tao said.

"Isn't it troublesome to press two virtual keys at the same time? Why not make a circular control button?"

"Round?"

"Yes, it's just like a steering wheel. If I press any position in the circle, it will be directly reflected in the game."

"Let me go, Mr. Chen, you are simply a gaming genius."

Patting his head, Zou Tao fell to the ground in admiration.

This round control button is much better than using four buttons.

"Still, there are problems here."

"You are talking about which monster or character to choose."

"It's actually quite simple. If they are a mage, they can cast a spell by dragging the skill directly onto the screen. If they are a warrior or others, they can directly select the nearest character for PK..."

While talking, Chen Yu translated to Zou Tao.

"Oh My God……"

Zou Tao was completely convinced.

Other R\u0026D staff in the office were also stunned.

They had long known that the boss of Huanyu Technology was very powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Mr. Chen, I admire you..."

"Okay, don't flatter me. Let's break up the meeting first. I have something else to tell you."

"OK."

Chen Yu no longer pays much attention to games like this.

He just mentioned it casually and put it aside.

When I come here today, there is another important thing.

"Zou Tao, is your main task now to develop mobile versions of online games?"

"No."

Zou Tao shook his head: "Online gaming on smartphones is a trend, and we must plan ahead. However, PC online games are still the mainstream, and we will still increase research and development efforts in this area. However, in the area of ​​smartphones, we will also slowly Increase manpower.”

"Well, not bad, not bad."

Chen Yu is quite satisfied with this. Then, Chen Yu said: "Then have you ever thought about developing other smartphone applications?"

“Some other mobile apps?”

"right."

"Some other mobile applications don't make money as much as online games."

"Well……"

Chen Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

have to.

It seems that Zou Tao is a real money fan.

No wonder.

The online game department of Huanyu Technology is one of the most profitable businesses of Huanyu Technology.

Even if you are developing applications for mobile phones, you should start with online games.

Of course, this is actually the right path.

It's just that Huanyu Technology is different now.

Although they want to make money, they also need to launch a series of popular applications.

"Zou Tao, don't always think about making money. If you make a hit-level app, its ability to make money will be amazing. I have a suggestion here. Why don't you develop a photo-taking app? Bar."

"A photo-taking app?"

Zou Tao didn't understand.

But after all, he knew a series of businesses of Huanyu Technology, and then said: "Mr. Chen, do you mean functions like photo stickers?"

The same function as the photo post was developed in Huanyu Video.

This can also be done on a mobile phone.

"Uh... no."

Chen Yu shook his head.

Functions like photo stickers have actually already appeared in the Super Pear App Mall.

Although there are many users, this application is still inferior to the beauty camera.

"I'm talking about an app that beautifies your face."

"Beautify your face?"

Zou Tao was still puzzled.

Chen Yu made an analogy: "Zou Tao, look, you have a lot of bruises on your face now. You don't like taking pictures very much."

"Well……"

Zou Tao was a little depressed: "Mr. Chen, I stayed up late every day to get through this. Please don't rub salt in the wound."

"It's okay. What I mean is that if you develop this beauty app, then if you take a photo of yourself, we can see a photo with very white and delicate skin."

"Huh……"

The reason why Beauty Camera has become a killer app is that this function is so powerful.

It’s so powerful that almost everyone loves this app.

An ugly person can be transformed into a slightly more beautiful one with this beauty camera package.

He is an average-looking guy who can be taken by the beauty camera and is a handsome guy.

As for the one who is quite handsome in appearance, with such a beautiful face, she is a complete goddess and a male god.

Excuse me.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such an application?

You know, among the four major evil arts in Asia in the past life, Chinese PS magic was the top one.

But as for Chen Yu, Chen Yu would rank the beauty camera first among all magic.

As for the reason.

too easy.

The beauty camera completely surpasses PS in terms of operability and practicality.

Even in later generations, there are even more awesome beauty applications.

The general beauty software only whitens your skin, but the more powerful ones can not only whiten your skin, but also slim your face, lengthen your legs, improve your figure, etc... This is what Her Highness Qiao Biluo does.

As it is now.

Even though Zou Tao had no feelings about this application before, once he heard Chen Yu's explanation, Zou Tao instantly reached the climax of beauty.

Who doesn’t want to be more handsome?

Zou Tao, the dignified CEO of Huanyu Technology’s gaming department, doesn’t look right with so many beans on his face?

Although he is very confident in his career, he really has no confidence in his appearance.

If such an app were really developed, Zou Tao would probably have to post a photo every day.

"Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean. I will ask everyone to launch this application immediately."

"OK."

Chen Yu nodded.

Beauty camera is not difficult.

In itself, Huanyu Technology’s own camera comes with face lock.

Therefore, there is no problem in terms of beauty.

Zou Tao is in charge of online games.

A large-scale online game like this can be developed, let alone a small beauty camera.

In addition, online games are more professional than some other companies in terms of game graphics and human body aesthetics.

Therefore, Chen Yu called Zou Tao Development.

but.

The more important reason is not this.

The more important reason is.

Chen Yu just wanted to get started with Zou Tao's beauty camera.

He wanted to tell everyone at Huanyu Technology and some other companies.

In fact, for any company, you can develop your own application and upload it to the Super Pear App Store.

Moreover, it is not limited to traditional game apps.

In addition to traditional game apps, some other interesting and powerful apps can also attract millions of users.

"Lin Fei, how was the discussion with FAW-Volkswagen?"

"Mr. Xiao, they only showed a slight interest, but when it came to the actual cooperation, they didn't take any substantive action?"

"They don't want to cooperate?"

"Probably not. They may be trying to bargain."

"We have already given an extremely low price, and they still want to kill?"

"They said that our navigation technology is not particularly advanced, and some map updates are slow. Compared with other navigation systems of the same type, we do not have any advantage."

"snort……"

Xiao Jun, the founder of Amap, waved his hand and asked Lin Fei to go out first.

Unlike the great Amap Navigation of later generations, the development of Amap Navigation in 2006 was not very good.

Not only is it not great, it can even be said to be average.

At first, AutoNavi was engaged in map surveying.

But there is not much profit in this area.

Later, they discovered that there was a huge demand for navigation in cars and the profits were relatively large.

So they began to move into car navigation.

But it is not so easy to enter the car navigation system.

In the 1990s, many European, American and Japanese car companies developed their own navigation software and loaded it into their cars.

AutoNavi is just a little-known small company, and major automobile manufacturers are not interested in AutoNavi.

Even if AutoNavi offers a very low price, major car manufacturers are not interested in AutoNavi.

Xiao Jun, who had an extremely sense of crisis, realized that if Gaode continued like this, Gaode would never survive.

However, how to win over major automobile manufacturers is a problem.

"Zhidong, are you free? Let's have a drink."

"Why, Xiao Jun, are you so free?"

"Come out, I'm a little depressed, talk to me."

"Okay, see you at the same place."

"Same place."

Xiao Jun, who couldn't think of a solution for a while, called his old classmate Wang Zhidong.

This Wang Zhidong is exactly the same Wang Zhidong who was the founder of Sina.

The two are classmates, one founded Sina and the other founded Amap.

But now Wang Zhidong has left Sina, and he now founded Click Technology.

The two made an appointment to meet at the old place.

It's said to be an old place, but it's actually the barbecue stall where the two of them often ate together when they were in college.

do not know why.

Many big bosses like Luo Chuan.

Chen Yu likes it, Wang Zhidong likes it, and Xiao Jun also likes it.

"Zhidong, you are late."

"The company is a little busy, so it's a little late."

"You have done well in developing click technology. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Congratulations. It's just a small workshop. It can't compare to before."

Wang Zhidong drank a glass of cold beer.

Obviously, he was resentful about leaving Sina.

As for the reason.

This is not because Wang Zhidong wanted to leave, but because he was driven out just like Apple's Steve Jobs.

But not all those who are kicked out can return to Apple like Jobs and create greater glory.

Although Wang Zhidong founded Click Technology at this time, Click Technology was not as good as Xiao Jun's Amap.

"It's better that you develop maps. In the past, I thought your business had little development. Now that there are more and more cars and more and more people need navigation, you have a bright future."

"Immortal shit, it's really immeasurable. I don't have time to complain to you now."

Xiao Jun also drank a drink. Although the cold beer tasted very good, he was really not in the mood at the moment.

"What, what problem did you encounter?"

"There are so many questions."

"Tell me about it, and I'll help you with it as a reference."

"That's fine. Zhidong, after all, you have built a great company. Back then, you were the top brother on the Internet. Your vision must be higher than mine."

"Stop talking about it. Sina is my eternal pain. It's not like you don't know it."

"Yes, yes, I won't say anything anymore. Let's just talk about me. FAW-Volkswagen, which we had talked about for a long time, has ignored us recently?"

"Probably not. FAW-Volkswagen should have navigation needs."

"There is definitely demand, but they think our technology is average and our map updates are too slow, making us inferior to other navigation systems."

"this……"

Wang Zhidong did not take it.

He does know the current development situation of Gaode.

Compared with some other map navigation companies, Amap’s strength is indeed average.

"Are they trying to bargain?"

"It's possible, but they haven't said anything, and we've quoted them a very low price. Basically, we don't make any profit at this price. I just want to open the market first, and then ask for anything else."

"Xiao Jun, your idea is right."

Wang Zhidong nodded: "There is no problem with the concept of occupying the market first."

Although Wang Zhidong said that there is no problem with the concept, when it comes to operation, it is another problem.

Unless your ideas are correct, you can beat others'.

"Don't you have any other options?"

"It's not completely impossible. We are preparing to cooperate with some domestic car manufacturers. However, I guess it will be of little use."

"Why, domestic car manufacturers also need navigation."

"They need it, but domestic car manufacturers are not very willing to cooperate with us. Moreover, many domestic cars are now sold cheaply, but their requirements are very high. For example, BYD, they even cooperate with Philips."

"Philip's navigation is very expensive, and they are really willing to give it up."

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Obviously Xiao Jun was also depressed for a while.

Think about it, we are all national enterprises, and we all help each other.

However, these are irrational thoughts.

Nowadays, business competition is globalized.

BYD also has BYD's difficulties. They are not very good in the car technology.

If the configuration is not improved, how can consumers pay for it?

"Old classmate, don't just listen, help me give advice?"

"let me see."

Wang Zhidong touched his chin.

After a while, he said: "It's not completely impossible."

After all, he is the founder of Sina. Although Wang Zhidong is no longer at Sina, he still has a clear vision.

Although Xiao Jun's problem is troublesome, it is not completely without solutions.

"What can I do, Zhidong, tell me quickly."

"Don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious? I'm so anxious. You don't know how much money we spend on map navigation. FAW-Volkswagen knows that our map updates are slow. Damn it, we also want it to be fast. But The country is so big, not to mention the branch lines, even the main lines are a terrifying amount. Moreover, roads are constantly being built in various places, so just updating the map is a huge sum of money."

"So, it's still a question of money."

"Money issues?"

"right."

"FAW said that your technology is mediocre and map updates are slow. It's not just a matter of money. If you have money, won't your technology be able to keep up?"

"Navigation technology is not difficult. In fact, there has been no fundamental change from the 1990s to now. Everyone's technology is similar. As for the issue of map updates, there is no technology. Just send people to collect data continuously."

"So, whether it's technology or map updates, it's all about money."

"You mean, let us raise funds?"

Xiao Jun somewhat understood what Wang Zhidong meant and asked.

"right."

Wang Zhidong nodded: "In fact, your map navigation is somewhat similar to the Internet. You didn't make much money in the early stage. If you want to make money, you must seize a certain market. But with your current market share and company popularity, even if your business capabilities are no longer Even though it is strong, it is estimated that it will be difficult to launch. The best way is to raise financing first. After getting the money, we can expand the market."

"I also want to raise funds."

Xiao Jun smiled bitterly: "Not many venture capital companies are interested in us."

Of course, not all venture capital firms are not interested in them.

Either some venture capital firms are of average strength, or some venture capital firms want to invest but want to take too many shares.

Not to mention the controlling stake, they even need more than 70% of the shares.

"It's not impossible. The problem is that you have to find the right target."

"Zhidong, what do you mean?"

"Huanyu Technology."

At this time, Wang Zhidong suddenly mentioned Huanyu Technology.

"Looking for investment from Huanyu Technology?"

"Yes. Huanyu Technology is not only an IT company, but also has a lot of moves in the venture capital field."

Although Wang Zhidong left Sina, he has always paid close attention to Huanyu Technology.

Especially Chen Yu.

When Huanyu Technology was not large in scale, he believed that Huanyu Technology must be Sina's strongest opponent.

But several years passed.

Huanyu Technology is no longer Sina's opponent.

Um.

At this time, Sina is no longer qualified to regard Huanyu Technology as an opponent.

Wang Zhidong once thought, if he had not left Sina at that time, would Sina be surpassed by Huanyu Technology?

After thinking rationally for a long time, Wang Zhidong understood that even if he was still in Sina, he would be of no use.

"Zhidong, it seems that Huanyu Technology will only invest in companies that are interested in it."

Xiao Jun naturally knows about Huanyu Technology.

"Generally speaking, that's the case, but... what if your business happens to be what Huanyu Technology needs?"

"How do you say this?"

"Xiao Jun, do you know Super Pear?"

"Of course I know. This phone is selling like crazy."

"Then did you know that Super Pear has a GPS positioning function?"

"It seems there is, but I didn't buy super pears."

"I'll show you."

Wang Zhidong took out a super pear himself: "Nuo."

"I'll go, when did you buy it?"

"Just bought it."

"It's beautiful. Huanyu Technology is really amazing."

Xiao Jun was extremely emotional.

After playing with it for a while, Xiao Jun checked the configuration of Super Pear.

"It has GPS."

"right."

Wang Zhidong clicked on the GPS, and then said: "Think about it, Super Pear has a GPS positioning function, do they need navigation?"

Positioning is not the same as navigation.

Positioning is just positioning, used to know where you are.

But navigation not only allows consumers to know where they are, but also provides consumers with analysis of all road sections.

"This...it's hard to say."

"There will definitely be."

Wang Zhidong said with certainty: "Before Super Pear, Pear bracelet had GPS positioning function. At this time, this positioning function was inherited from Super Pear. Although it only has positioning function now, what if it adds navigation function."
