Time Travel: 2014

After posting the lottery on Weibo, Lin Hui noticed that the balance on his 0010 card had changed from 36.5 million yuan to 36.49 million yuan.

(⊙﹏⊙), Lin Hui remembered that the last time he looked at the balance on this card, it was still 31.05 million.

When did it become more than 36 million?

It turned out that Lin Hui was too obsessed with developing games and ignored the bank's bank receipt text message.

Looking through the text messages he received at noon on the 21st, Lin Hui discovered that not only did the balance on his 6699 card skyrocket from 31.05 million to more than 36 million.

The balance on the 0010 card also increased from US$29.65 million to US$32 million.

As for the balance on the card corresponding to the overseas web article, although it has not increased much, it has now become more than 400,000 US dollars.

Judging from this data, Lin Hui's overseas income increased by more than two million US dollars in the past night, and his domestic income soared by more than five million US dollars.

The performance of Lin Hui's previously launched games "Life Restart Simulator", "2048" and "FLAPPY BIRD" has actually gone silent.

Although some users are still downloading, the sporadic downloads cannot support the current income of several million yuan.

The only software that can lead to such a surge in income is Nanfeng APP.

Open the developer backend and see the data of each software.

As expected, this revenue growth is mainly due to the software Nanfeng APP.

Although the professional mode of the domestic version of Nanfeng APP only sold 337 copies sporadically.

But the professional mode is priced at 19,999 yuan.

After these sales are divided, it will bring about more than 4.5 million after-tax income to Lin Hui [19999*80%*337*0.84].

Coupled with some scattered incentive income, it is not surprising that the income can reach more than 5 million.

Although the domestic Nanfeng APP has a corresponding professional mode, the corresponding overseas APP has not launched a professional mode.

Because the professional mode is mainly aimed at the problem that the original press release in a single input of Chinese/language is too long.

Um, does this mean that the new foreign income mainly comes from the incentive income of Nanfeng APP?

Lin Hui looked at the background data and found that it was true.

The overseas version of Nanfeng APP has an income of nearly two million US dollars in incentives alone.

Calculated based on the exchange rate, this incentive income has exceeded 10 million yuan.

This incentive income is several times higher than the incentive income of the recent game "Life Restart Simulator".

But this is not outrageous, unlike "Life Restart Simulator".

The audience of the software "Life Restart Simulator" is game players, and players' rewards are probably just random.

The tool software Nanfeng APP is a productivity tool, and its audience is generally corresponding professional users.

Professional users are likely to create more output value when they use Nanfeng APP to greatly improve their work efficiency.

In addition, it seems not too much to praise Nanfeng APP with real money.

In fact, if the domestic Nanfeng APP does not launch a professional mode.

Those domestic users who have greatly improved the efficiency of text processing including news through Nanfeng APP are likely to appreciate and encourage Lin Hui.

And now, although the domestic users who are really impressed do not have any extra rewards, being able to purchase the professional mode is already a huge support for Lin Hui.

You know, even in the previous life, those who were purely engaged in professional software could almost be said to be the worst offenders in the software industry.

Industrial software may seem unpleasant, but the development of industrial software generally relies on big trees.

Moreover, those who develop industrial software are usually national teams, so there is no need to worry about sales.

This is not the case with professional software. Most professional software is euphemistically called professional software.

But in fact, the corresponding user groups are very small.

There are probably thousands of corresponding users.

In short, professional software is difficult to make.

Lin Hui remembers that in his previous life, a college software major employment teacher told students clearly when introducing his experience to avoid pitfalls:

Don't fall into the pitfalls of professional software if you have nothing to do.

Whoever touches the car will overturn.

In this case, the professional software developed by Lin Hui not only did not overturn.

On the contrary, it can achieve an income of more than 5 million yuan domestically.

It can be said that the performance is very good.

What's more, when Lin Hui first developed the software Nanfeng APP, he relied on algorithms to make money.

Revenue is not achieved based on the revenue of the software Nanfeng APP itself.

All in all, Lin Hui was very satisfied with the current situation.

…

Lin Hui is quite satisfied with the first-day sales volume of Nanfeng APP’s professional mode.

But after He Tianchang saw the first-day download data of Nanfeng APP professional mode through third-party data, he was not very satisfied.

The reason why He Tianchang is dissatisfied is not because he is jealous of talents, but precisely because he cherishes his younger generations.

There were only 337 downloads of professional mode on the first day?

Even if the professional mode charges 19,999 yuan per copy, the turnover achieved by these 337 copies is only over 6.7 million yuan.

It seems pretty good, but how can turnover be equal to developer income?

After platform exploitation, developers can only gain 70%

(ps:... He doesn’t know Lin Hui’s share, so he can only guess based on common sense)

Moreover, the developers of Nanfeng APP do not seem to have obtained corresponding policy support.

Anyway, He Tianchang did not see the corresponding public announcement documents.

Doesn’t this mean that the developer of Nanfeng APP will only earn less than 4 million after tax if it relies solely on profit sharing?

What can you do with just this little money?

It seems that an income of nearly four million is quite a lot for ordinary people, but this amount of money is still not enough for software developers.

And the so-called four million, is this money really a net profit?

He Tianchang has done professional software development before and knows the difficulties encountered in professional software development.

Professional software is different from traditional ordinary software development. Just the initial investment cost of software is much higher than other software development.

What's more, Nanfeng APP is a pioneer in "Chinese news summary processing".

"Pioneering work" may seem glorious, but only developers know the hardships required for truly pioneering research and development.

Although He Tianchang is not a professional when it comes to research on Chinese abstracts.

But He Tianchang had often heard his journalist friend Lao Fu complain about the difficulty of obtaining machine summaries for Chinese news.

He Tianchang knew his good friend Lao Fu's style of doing things, and he basically never complained when faced with difficulties.

With such a task difficulty that everyone laments, how can it be possible for professional software development in this area to be simple?

He Tianchang learned from some internal information that this aspect of news summarization had not been studied by any organization before.

But after investing nearly 5 million, it achieved nothing but a decent Chinese corpus.

As for the corresponding program development, not even a sample has been developed, let alone application efficiency.

Related research was later shelved.

"Chinese News Digest" is a field that even professionals find difficult. How much money does it cost in the initial investment?

Although the amount of money an individual developer can invest is ultimately limited.

But He Tianchang felt that the developer of Nanfeng APP had invested seven to eight million in the development of Nanfeng APP.

The net income on the first day is less than 4 million, and there is a high probability that the 4 million has not been paid to the developers every day. How can this be possible?

Doesn’t this mean that the developers of Nanfeng APP are still operating at a loss?
