Chapter 17

This late at night, the fat man and Fang Zhe, who had been in front of the computer all day, didn't stay up late. They didn't want to stay up late, but they were really sleepy.

The next day, the first thing they did when they just woke up was to turn on the computer and open the statistics page.

The number of flappybird registrations is 1469, and the number of stickhero registrations is 5125. The total income is US $6528.06, equivalent to more than 40000 yuan.

Fang zhe estimates that the total downloads of the two games today can conservatively exceed 10000 times. Even because of the growth of iPhone 3G sales and more users upgrading iPhone 2.0, the downloads may exceed 20000.

Now the fat man, full of a brother, brother called Fang Zhe, seems to have forgotten that he was six months older than Fang Zhe.

After breakfast, the fat man continued to study the learning materials Fang zhe gave him yesterday. Fang zhe browsed all kinds of news about Apple and iPhone 3G on the Internet.

"According to foreign media reports, about 270000 apple iphone3G phones have been sold in just one day."

"The first Apple store in mainland China will open in Sanlitun, Yanjing on July 19."

"It is said that apple and mobile will restart negotiations on the entry of iPhone into China"

Seeing this news, Fang zhe remembered that in his previous life, Apple was not able to sell iPhones in the mainland by virtue of its cooperation with China Unicom until October 2009. Obviously, the cooperation between apple and mobile could not be reached, and the current stores do not sell iPhones at all.

Fang zhe was watching the news when his mobile phone rang. It was his mother who called.

"Ah Zhe, did you get up?" Yang Xiuying asked on the phone.

Fang zhe knew what his mother meant by calling so early. Obviously, he wanted to let himself go back. Therefore, he responded: "get up, just get up for a while, I'll go back later."

"Well, come back quickly. Kaikai's parents are so busy that you ran to make trouble. Come and call Kaikai and let him eat at home."

After a few words with his mother, Fang zhe hung up and said to the fat man who was studying, "fat man, my mother urges me to go back. Come with me. My mother told you to go to my house for dinner."

"OK, I'll talk to my grandmother." the fat man said and went out of the bedroom.

The fat man's parents went to the clothing store in the city to work. During the fat man's holiday, they ate with his grandparents. The old couple cooked simple and ate light. It's not very important for the fat man, who has no meat and is not happy.

Because the fat man was coming, Yang Xiuying specially fried two more dishes.

The two families have been friends for many years, so the fat man doesn't feel uncomfortable.

After dinner, Fang Zhe and the fat man plunged into Fang Zhe's bedroom. The fat man continued to study. While opening the statistics page, Fang zhe kept refreshing the data, while he turned out the fruit ninja project and continued to knock the code. These two days, he patronized the data of the previous two games and the fruit ninja project, but he was a little careless.

From the morning to the afternoon, the downloads of the two games have been soaring, faster than yesterday.

Just after 3 p.m., the number of flappybird registrations reached 2825, and the number of stickhero registrations exceeded 10000, reaching 10312 times, with a total income of US $13005.63, equivalent to more than 90000 yuan.

Fang zhe entered the game and looked. There are many people on the list of the two games, including English names and names in other languages. It seems that Fang Zhe's multilingual strategy is still very useful.

While Fang zhe was playing the game, the phone rang and showed the incoming call, brother mosquito.

Fang zhe connected the phone, and Zheng Siwen's voice came from the phone.

"Ah Zhe, how's it going?"

Zheng Siwen paid special attention to the release of Apple's iPhone 3G these two days. On the one hand, it was out of professional needs. On the other hand, it was also because Fang zhe submitted two games. According to the news he received, the total downloads of all apps in the Appstore exceeded 2 million times yesterday.

The Super Monkey Ball, which ranks first in the paid game list, has been downloaded more than 100000 times at a price of up to $9.99, which is equivalent to a single day revenue of more than $1 million.

Therefore, at this time, he urgently wanted to know what data the two games submitted by Fang zhe were.

"Now the number of flappybird registrations is 2917, and the number of stickhero registrations is 10501, with a total revenue of $13283.82," Fang zhe said, looking at the latest data on the computer.

"So much?" according to Fang Zhe's data, the total revenue of the two games has exceeded 90000 yuan, which makes Zheng Siwen feel a little incredible.

"Brother mosquito, have you been on QQ? I'll send you a statistical address." Fang zhe said. He found Zheng Siwen's QQ and sent the statistical address. Because it's simple, this address is still an IP address, not even a domain name, but just a few simple menus and pages, not even a basic login.

Zheng Siwen sighed: "your boy is strong enough. I've only made so much in two days. When I was as old as you, I had to rely on my parents' subsidies."

Fang zhe replied with a smile: "brother mosquito, don't make fun of me. When the hot head has passed these two days, the ghost knows how many downloads there are behind."

Fang zhe understands that the life cycle of mobile games is basically very short. It's basically a matter of weeks or even days from players downloading to uninstalling.

Only when we start to play moderate games or even heavy games later, can we slowly prolong the life cycle by enriching the playing methods and systems of the game.

"Also, our research found that the life cycle of mobile games is too short, especially for the small games you make. Most users may uninstall them after playing for a few days. It seems that you have been prepared for this. You send me the installation packages of the two games. I just bought an iPhone two days ago and just installed the games."

Fang zhe found two game installation packages from the computer and sent them. Subsequently, Zheng Siwen said that he was dragging his friends to get a copy of the application download data of the whole Appstore these days. If Fang Zhe is interested, he can send him a copy.

In the past, the amount of downloads of various applications could be seen on iTunes. Now, the official blocked these data on the app store. Only the developers of various applications can see their application data in the background. However, for Zheng Siwen, he can still estimate some application related data through various channels.

"What are you and fat man doing in the summer vacation?" Zheng Siwen asked.

"I've just planned a new casual game recently. I've just finished writing the planning case these two days, and I've started to write code. Over there, he's learning to play games." Fang zhe said, looking at the fat man with headphones and learning.

"Do you want to make a new game again?" Zheng Siwen was surprised. He thought Fang zhe was just interested in making two small games before. Unexpectedly, he began to make a new game again.

Fang zhe smiled and said, "yes, it's just that there are many summer holidays. I can play a bigger game than the previous two."

Zheng Siwen said, "I have a classmate. He opened a page tour company. I told him about you the other day. He was very interested after listening to it. He also said that if you don't have anything to do during the summer vacation, you can go to them for internship. He can learn from you. In addition, do you mind if I send him these two tour bags?"

"Don't mind, I can't wait for others to play the games I made." Fang zhe said happily. Even with many years of experience in game development in his previous life, Fang Zhe is still just an ordinary producer. He hasn't even participated in a project with a running water of more than ten million. There is still some distance from the boss's circle. He is reborn. He has become a talented person.

Zheng Siwen added, "you can also do your own things when you practice with them. I think this is an opportunity for you. You can see how the regular game project team works.

On his side, he also wants to know about the prospect of mobile games. This morning, he called me to mention it, so I wanted to take a line to introduce you. "

Fang zhe was deeply moved. Zheng Siwen took care of himself both in his previous life and in his present life. Unfortunately, he didn't know he was reborn. He spent more than seven years in the regular project team. From an intern to a producer, the leaders inside had long been clear.

However, this is indeed an opportunity for Fang Zhe, because at present, it is the time for the rise of domestic page tour, and various page tour platforms are blooming everywhere. In addition, the rise of domestic social networking sites, kaixin.com and the campus network later renamed renren.com are slowly becoming popular.

Although Fang zhe knows that because of the problem of product positioning and operation strategy, they are just a dry flower, but they can't change the fact that web games are popular all over the country.

Fang zhe still remembers the grand occasion when the whole people stole vegetables, but now, this grand occasion has never happened. Now it's good to make friends with the boss of page games.

However, now Fang zhe has to face a very realistic problem. He has no money. About the money made by the two games, Fang zhe didn't intend to tell his parents for the time being, because he hasn't got the money yet, it's always unreliable to tell them.

So Fang zhe plans to talk to his parents about it when the money comes back. Now it seems that if he doesn't talk to his parents and borrows money from them to Yanjing, he will have less confidence.

Across the phone, Zheng Siwen seems to be a worm in Fang Zhe's stomach. When Fang zhe said on the phone to discuss with his parents, Zheng Siwen understood that he had moved, and the only difficulty should be his parents, so Zheng Siwen said:

"You call your aunt, and I tell her to help you. And you ask Kaikai if you want to come together. You two can take care of it."
