Chapter 173 Something unusual

While he was curious, Lin Hui received a call from Huang Jing.

Huang Jing's first words were answered when the phone was connected: "Congratulations! Another game is about to become a hit."

Lin Hui said modestly: "It can only be said that it was a hit on the first day. It's hard to say how it will perform in the long term."

Huang Jing: "Boss, you are too humble! Now the first-day sales volume has exceeded 10 million yuan when converted into RMB!

For a free game, this is already a very good result.

You must know that you are playing this game alone.

This result is enough to put many game companies to shame! "

Lin Hui: “It’s precisely because the sales volume on the first day was relatively high that I was a little worried.

Could the first-day sales be high because it overdraws its long-term potential?

You also know that in previous planning games, the results were pretty good on the first day, but were cut in half on the second day. "

Huang Jing: "This is not analogous. Your previous games were basically buyout systems, so this situation will occur.

Now, you don't have to worry about this situation.

From the official analysis we got here, the game you created is much higher than other similar games in terms of daily active volume and average revenue per user.

Judging from the number of daily active users, the number of users of your game on the first day has reached more than 4 million.

Although the number of users on the first day of general games is relatively high.

But being able to reach more than 4 million users on the first day is also an incredible achievement.

And you have to know that this game can be played completely offline.

Therefore, the number of users we counted on the first day is definitely an underestimate.

After all, although some people log in to their Apple account, they don't use data at all while playing games.

We can't keep statistics on this situation.

So you don’t have to worry at all! "

Lin Hui: “Can the daily active volume be four million?

Then the number of daily active users is indeed not bad!

What about the number of active paying users and average revenue per user?

The most important thing, I think, still depends on the user retention rate.

If the user retention rate is not high, you can only make one-time quick money.

In the long run, the reputation will be lost, and this game is destined to not last long. "

Huang Jing: “I’ll send you an email about this later!

The results of the game you developed are very gratifying, and the data is almost always developing in a good trend. "

Lin Hui: "Uh, is it that exaggerated?"

Huang Jing: "Of course, you also saw the share ratio."

Lin Hui: “It’s strange to me. Isn’t it true that the Apple platform always ignores rabbits?

Why did you use 90% of the share directly?

Doesn't this mean the game is expected to earn over $20 million?

How did Apple make its judgment? "

Huang Jing: “Of course it’s because I believe in your personal strength.

Isn’t it normal for a game developed by GRAY FOREST to earn more than 20 million US dollars in revenue?

In fact over fifty million dollars..."

Lin Hui interrupted Huang Jing: "Stop complimenting me, we have been working together for a long time.

Why don't you tell me the truth? What is the real reason?

After all, it involves tens of millions of operating income, so it can't be so careless.

If they hadn't gotten proof that the game could stably earn over $20 million in revenue.

They won't be so relieved! "

Huang Jing: "Don't you know yet? I thought you knew."

Lin Hui: "Well, what can I know? I'm basically outside this day."

Huang Jing: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Beiyu Province! You are the center of attention today."

Lin Hui: “Come on, no matter how good I am in the college entrance examination, I’m not as good as you.

Didn't you go straight to the U.S. Department of Education in one step?

And forget about compliments about your grades!

The compliments I heard this day made my ears tingle. "

Huang Jing: "Why is this a compliment?

I really think you are awesome.

A test with a score of 750 can score 735. Anyway, if I ask myself, I can’t do it.

My sister did well in studies back then, but she only scored over 630 points in the liberal arts section of the college entrance examination. "

Lin Hui: "The scores are enough. There is no need to take too many exams. It's a waste! Passing is a good idea!"

Huang Jing: “I can’t believe this was said by a top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Shouldn't we all pursue perfection and perfection? "

Lin Hui: "Haha, the pursuit of perfection and the ultimate are just rhetoric used by capitalists to squeeze out surplus value. Whoever believes it is stupid."

Lin Hui continued: "Don't be too pretentious. Why do you believe that I can earn more than 20 million US dollars in revenue from this game?

Tell me quickly, I still feel a little unsure. "

Huang Jing: “Because the rules you use in the game have been selected as industry benchmarks and have been officially established as a model.

You also know that if you become a model in China, as long as you don't deliberately mess up, it will be difficult to succeed. "

Lin Hui: "What do you mean? The game was selected as a benchmark? It shouldn't be. I feel like there is nothing in the game that can become a benchmark!"

Huang Jing: "Then you really didn't mean to do anything this time.

The lottery rules you use in your game have been voted industry standards.

This afternoon, Hexrab Z Bureau issued a notice that all games involving lottery in the future must specify the number of draws to draw out the corresponding game props.

Lottery can no longer be defined by vague lottery probabilities.

Except for your game, all other games have been ordered to rectify within a time limit, and the number of draws must be specified!

Otherwise, all lottery games will not be allowed on major app stores. "

As Lin Hui knows, there will indeed be relevant regulations in the next few years:

All games must specify the number of draws.

But this seems to be a thing of the future.

Now this policy has actually come out!

But what to say?

Overall this should be a good thing.

For some game props that take many times to extract.

After announcing the number of draws, we directly dissuaded these light krypton players to avoid unnecessary waste.

After clarifying the number of draws, it is also very friendly to players who focus on non-Emirates.

After clarifying the number of draws, it will be very friendly to both light Krypton players and heavy Krypton players.

Huang Jing continued: "This rule has not only received corresponding users in China.

An organization called the Players Alliance, which was voluntarily formed by players abroad, also highly respects this standard.

All lottery games are called upon to adopt such measures.

Although there is no public response from Waiguo game manufacturers, this standard is quite respected among players.

In fact, it is not surprising that your game can achieve such income now.

If it weren't for the fact that a considerable number of players are afraid of your lottery policy, it would be just a temporary principle.

Your actual first-day earnings will most likely be higher. "

Lin Hui didn't know what to say in this situation.

This will be considered basic practice in later generations.

Even the Goose Factory can't play tricks on this lottery.

When drawing glory crystals or the like, you must specify the number of draws.

Is this considered an accident?

It seems so.

However, Lin Hui still had doubts in his heart.

Lin Hui then asked: "By the way, isn't it a rule to be selected as a standard in the afternoon?

Was there something about that phone call you made to me this morning? "

Huang Jing: "It's nothing serious, just an oolong incident."

Lin Hui suddenly became curious after hearing Huang Jing's words.

Lin Hui asked: "What kind of incident happened?"

Huang Jing: "This morning, there was a trend of provocation on Weibo, comparing you with GRAY FOREST."

Lin Hui was confused: "Compare me to myself? What do you mean?"

Huang Jing: “To be precise, we are comparing the developers of Nanfeng APP, 808080 and GRAY FOREST.

The reason why this situation occurs is most likely because the outside world does not know that these two vests belong to you.

From an outside perspective, the so-called Nanfeng APP developer, owner of several patents, and top scorer in the college entrance examination belongs to you, Lin Hui.

However, the identities of the developers of "Life Restart Simulator", "2048", "FLAPPY BIRD" and "Hill Climb Racing" are regarded by the outside world as belonging to GRAY FOREST.

Whether it is 808080 or GRAY FOREST, these two identities appear to the outside world to be 18 years old, both have just passed the college entrance examination, and both have independently developed software.

There are so many similarities, but they are also different in subtle ways.

It’s hard for melon-eating netizens who don’t know the truth not to compare your two different vests together.

It is precisely because this incident is a bit unbelievable that I said it was an own incident! "

After hearing this, Lin Hui didn't know what to say. It seemed that having too many vests was a bad thing.

However, Lin Hui had no choice. If the software Nanfeng APP had previously been distributed under the identity of GRAY FOREST, there would have been even more trouble.

Lin Hui then asked: "What happened to this incident later? I remember I didn't notice it when I was on Weibo!"

Huang Jing: "When I called you, this topic was just beginning to ferment.

And not long after I called you, all related topics were deleted for some reason.

And after that, Weibo was down for about half an hour.

Although Weibo returned to normal after that, if you search for the previous topic again, the corresponding keywords will directly get 404 not found. "

Lin Hui: "Is there still such a thing?"

Huang Jing sighed: "Did you arrange all this?"

Lin Hui: "Come on, I don't have the time."

Huang Jing: "Pretend, keep pretending, something happened on Weibo in the morning, and within two hours all the controversial topics disappeared.

Not to mention, the rules you set in the game this afternoon were set as a benchmark.

It can be said that it was clearly arranged.

Is all this just a coincidence? Anyway, I don’t believe it…”

Is it clearly arranged?

Lin Hui only felt that the arrangement was unclear.

But regardless of the outcome of being arranged, being arranged is certain.

In fact, at noon today, Lin Hui noticed something unusual.

In the past, people who won the top spot in the college entrance examination were easily controversial.
