Time Travel: 2014

These revenues mainly come from the sales of the professional model of Nanfeng APP.

The other part comes from players’ money spent on the game “HILL CLIMB RACING”.

Although the purchasing enthusiasm of domestic players is no longer as strong as when the game was launched on the first day.

But today, there are still many overseas players who use Chinese accounts to download games because of the differences in pricing.

The balance on the 0010 card also changed significantly, growing from US$36.9 million to US$45.9 million.

The reason for such a large growth rate is naturally because the overseas version of South Wind APP, namely South Wind Pro, is widely popular.

This is partly because of the power of the software algorithm.

On the other hand, it is because the number of journalists in Waiguo is much larger than that in our country.

However, in the end, you must be strong yourself, and the powerful algorithm is the fundamental reason.

To be honest, the pricing of the overseas version of Nanfeng APP is not very friendly.

But it can still achieve such sales volume, which fully demonstrates that as long as the product is strong enough.

Even if the price does not accommodate users, it will still be successful.

Pursuing quality and seeking profits from quality is a more competitive development model (in the professional field).

In addition, the card corresponding to the overseas online article also increased by US$200,000.

The balance went from $850,000 to $1.05 million.

The income from overseas online writing is nothing to Lin Hui.

When it comes to online text output, Lin Hui is now more interested in the cultural output of online text output.

Rather than caring much about the meager income brought by the output of online articles.

Although Lin Hui didn't care much about this sporadic income, no one had trouble with money.

Even though Lin Hui doesn't care about money very much, almost everything Lin Hui wants to do requires money.

It can even be said that without money it is almost impossible to move forward.

Especially what Lin Hui wants to do in the future will require money.

Among the things Lin Hui wants to do, hardware is the most expensive.

Although software also requires huge expenses, many expenses are completely avoidable.

With the help of past life information, if the software achievements are not due to rationality considerations and security issues.

The forest ash can even be taken out and used directly.

In this case, in terms of software, we will even have to engage in some software or program technology development in the future.

Many times Lin Hui just goes through the motions.

Even projects such as some AI training models still require a large amount of training.

With past life experiences, you can avoid many detours in many cases.

As a result, when it comes to software, it also requires a lot of investment.

But with the advantage of information gap, you can often get twice the result with half the effort.

Although shortcuts can be taken in terms of software.

But if you want to get into hardware, you might be able to take a shortcut.

But it’s still difficult to achieve success overnight.

Even if some development routes are actually involved, a lot of wealth will be consumed.

Admission tickets cost at least 10 billion U.S. dollars.

Perhaps this number is a bit exaggerated.

But anyway, the money Lin Hui has now is definitely not enough.

Take the EUV lithography machine that people in later generations care about more.

Even if Lin Hui is presented with a ready-made opportunity to buy it, Lin Hui cannot afford it with his current financial resources.

At this time, an EUV lithography machine requires approximately US$175 million in funding.

(ps: I didn’t find too specific figures, but I found a saying that the selling price of an EUV lithography machine is approximately equivalent to 0.68 Boeing B787 aircraft during the same period.

According to the price published in Boeing's 2014 product catalog, the retail price of a Boeing B787 aircraft is US$257.1 million.

Calculating this way, an EUV lithography machine costs about US$175 million)

If measured in this way, Lin Hui's current total wealth can only buy half a photolithography machine, which is simply outrageous.

However, if such an opportunity really comes to Lin Hui, Lin Hui will definitely seize it, even if he borrows money, Lin Hui will do it.

Having said that, it would be too sad to be reduced to borrowing money.

Men more or less have a hero complex.

Lin Hui also has a certain hero complex.

But Lin Hui doesn’t like tragic heroes.

In order to avoid such tragic moments, it is the last word to work hard to make money.

If you don’t have money for the hardware, you won’t be able to use it at all.

When Lin Hui's list of potential expenses included EUV lithography machines.

So Lin Hui will have to get at least US$500 million in the short term.

Although almost US$175 million is enough to buy a photolithography machine.

But in order not to delay the normal layout of the software.

In fact, Lin Hui does need about 500 million US dollars in funds to avoid favoring one thing over another.

It is different from the software that can be laid out leisurely.

Time is very tight when it comes to hardware.

If there is really a chance to purchase a photolithography machine, it is best to get all the relevant matters done within the year.

If we can really get involved in this aspect at this time.

With our country’s strength, we actually have the opportunity to bring research in related fields into the first echelon before trade conflicts.

After entering the first echelon.

Even if you can't be called the top one, it's good to be able to keep up with the top level.

After all, in the next few years, chip development will actually be more or less excessive.

Catching up to 14nm is actually almost the same.

A certain factory's process has always been 14nm+++++, which does not necessarily delay civilian products.

As for military products, stability has always been given priority, and matters involving pure manufacturing processes are not very urgent.

The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny.

Regarding the lithography machine, it is not very troublesome when it comes to money.

Lin Hui has many ideas for making money.

But these ideas for making money are basically related to games.

Lin Hui first thought of "Boom Island"

Boom Beach development wasn't very laborious.

The previous game "Boom Beach" was a free game developed by Super Cell.

But it may be due to constraints on the game engine or some other reasons.

The company Space-Time Super Cell does not seem to have developed the game "Boom Island".

If it really can be verified that Super Cell did not develop "Boom Island".

Then this is good news for Lin Hui.

The total revenue of this game in its previous life was nearly one billion US dollars.

This is the super cash cow.

Why is it called a super cash cow?

Because its ability to attract money almost overwhelms Lin Hui's previous "HILL CLIMB RACING".

And it's not crushing in the ordinary sense.

Instead, it directly crushed it by an order of magnitude.

In this situation.

If you can really get this game.

Then Lin Hui basically doesn't have to worry too much about funding issues in the next month.

But when it comes to specific operations.

If such a game is developed, it can gain the favor of some game developers or game operators immediately.

Lin Hui estimates that "Boom Island" will be packaged and transferred by then.

It should also be possible to gain weight directly.
