Chapter 36： I like burning money the most

The place where Yang Huan met Zhu Liangcheng was on the sea view balcony of the Grand Harbour Hotel.

Said it is a sea view, but it is actually a riverside. From here, you can see the three forks where the Yiqin River meets the Test River in the distance.

The view is very broad and the scenery is quite beautiful, it is a good place.

Zhu Liangcheng did not come alone. He brought five people, all of them overseas students from China.

The sea-view balcony is not suitable for multi-person gatherings. Each separate area can only sit for four people. Two single chairs and one double chair, but Yang Huan, who came early, occupied the double chair by himself. Zhu Liangcheng and others are not easy to sit.

"Waiter." Yang Huan beckoned, "Move the tables and chairs over there, let's take a seat, and then have one of the best breakfast in your hotel for each person. By the way, are you drinking?"

Zhu Liangcheng and others shook their heads, and Yang Huan signaled the waiter to do it first.

Soon, the waiters from the two hotels ran over, took down the table next door, moved them over, and put them together.

This kind of temporary transformation is fast and efficient.

The Grand Harbour Hotel is the most expensive hotel in Southampton. Zhu Liangcheng and others have heard of it, but they have never been.

"Master Huan, we..." As soon as Zhu Liangcheng met, he wanted to talk about work.

Yang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Don’t worry, you guys came so early, you definitely didn’t eat breakfast. Eat breakfast first. The breakfast at this hotel is pretty good. You can talk about work when you are full."

Zhu Liangcheng understood Yang Huan's temperament, looked at his companion, and nodded to do the same.

Yang Huan didn't say much, took out his mobile phone and played games there.

Since you want to make mobile games, you must understand the mobile game market. Even if Yang Huan is very familiar with it in his previous life and has played many popular and popular games, he still thinks it is necessary to play and kill time by the way. .

The hotel delivery is very efficient, and it was delivered all at once.

Zhu Liangcheng and the others did not eat breakfast, and swallowed them all at once, like a raging cloud, sweeping away.

After they were all eaten and wiped clean, and then asked the waiter to bring some drinks up, Yang Huan started talking about work.

"I want to make a mobile phone software, a few mobile games." Yang Huan said straightforwardly.

Sitting next to Zhu Liangcheng was a young man named Wang Lin, with a Chinese character face, a beard and a very dark skin.

After listening to Yang Huan's words, Wang Lin asked, "I don't know what kind of software and games Huan Master will do?"

"Have you heard of WhatsApp?" Yang Huan asked.

"Have heard." Almost everyone nodded.

Yang Huan also nodded, "I want to make a mobile phone software similar to his."

Zhu Liangcheng didn’t know Yang Huan’s thoughts before. When he heard about it, he immediately shook his head, “Master Huan, although WhatsApp sounds very new, there are currently about two million users. It’s been over a year and the progress is very bad. Eye-catching."

"Yes, Master Huan, this type of mobile phone software has a lot of investment, but the output is not clear, and even the future prospects are very confusing." Wang Lin is a software engineer at the IBM Research Center and also engaged in mobile phone software development. These aspects are quite familiar.

Yang Huan knows the future prospects of these software better than anyone else. Whether it is WhatsAPP or China's WeChat, they have quite amazing prospects in the future. Later, WhatsApp sold for nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars.

"Why?"

Zhu Liangcheng saw Wang Lin staring at him and nodded, indicating that he could speak freely.

"Master Huan, first of all, we must say that the most important thing for this type of application is not product development. The simple research and development process is not difficult. We can figure it out in a few weeks at most. The real problem is that the research and development of similar products Research."

"Another point, this kind of application mechanism is simple and not complicated, but the problem is that it will generate huge data traffic. The more users, the greater the data traffic, and the higher the requirements for the quantity and quality of servers. Surprisingly, this requires a large amount of capital investment, but it is difficult to see the prospects for future earnings."

Speaking of this, Wang Lin mentioned WhatsApp, "The reason why I say they are progressing slowly is actually because they lack funds. Even if each user charges nearly one dollar, their servers will still be paralyzed. They need SMS verification requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to be invested in SMS verification each month."

"But did you know? Their monthly income from this app has been tens of thousands of dollars so far, so they need to control the number of users. Once the account has money, the app becomes free , Once there is no money in the account, it will return to the charging state."

Yang Huan understands a little bit why WhatsApp users' progress was so slow in the beginning, but later, they developed quickly in a **** way, because they had money later.

"This is a money-burning game, young master, and it is difficult to see the future prospects." Wang Lin feels that it is still necessary to be cautious, and this is not suitable for entrepreneurs.

Who knows, after Yang Huan listened, he laughed, "Burning money? My favorite thing to do is to burn money!"

Zhu Liangcheng, Wang Lin and others were stunned by these words.

"Just don’t do the research at all. Just follow my ideas and what I said. You can get me what I want. As for the money, you don’t need to worry about it. Is it just burning money? I can afford it!"

Wang Lin almost lost his eyeballs. He has heard of big local tyrants, but he has never heard of local tyrants like this.

This investment is not a simple hundreds of thousands of millions, that is an investment of tens of millions to hundreds of millions?

"I've seen your resumes. It's not bad. What is the salary of each of you in the original company? I am here as usual. You don't need to go to research anymore. Just follow my requirements and ideas to make an application. If it is made within a week, if I am satisfied, not only will there be a bonus, but the salary will be doubled."

Is there such a good thing?

Wang Lin and others all looked at Zhu Liangcheng dumbfounded, isn't this a triumphant son?

Without asking for any rewards, I just promised others such generous terms?

If Yang Huan is not the new boss of Southampton, if they have not learned that Yang Huan is the prince of the domestic Yang group, they will definitely think that they have met a lunatic or a liar.

"I want to make an application similar to WhatsApp, but I want to make it more interesting than it, my service is better than it, it charges, then I will be free, everyone can download and use at will, and I want Servers are set up all over the world to ensure the quality of our service. Even, I am planning to do some promotions during the New Year’s and holidays."

If they charge you for free, don’t mention it, but also engage in sales promotion.

My goodness, this is not a fool, what is it that money comes quickly?

"Whoever you need, go dig and find, I want to see the effect in the shortest time."

Wang Lin winked at Zhu Liangcheng, "How about?"

"Follow him, we just make money to work." Zhu Liangcheng raised his eyebrows.

Wang Lin thought, that’s right, anyway, it’s just making money to work, and it’s okay to get a salary.

"Okay, Master Huan, we agree."

"Okay!" Yang Huan praised, he likes to be straightforward.

Zhu Liangcheng asked again at this time, "Master Huan, you said you were going to make a mobile game before, and you don’t know what you plan to do?"

"One by one rope, there is a piece of colorful candy hanging, and a chubby, cute little monster squats underneath. The user swipes the touch screen with his hand and cuts the rope to make the candy fall into the little monster's mouth accurately. It's a pass."

"It's that simple?" The tall man next to him laughed out loud. How can this be a game?

Yang Huan laughed and shook his head: "Is it easy?"

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin found it very simple at first, but after a careful review, the article here is quite big.

Yang Huan also said that it is a rope, which means that many levels of different difficulty can be designed.

It’s very easy to cut the rope. It’s easy for everyone, even for children. It’s easy to get started, but it’s not easy to pass.

"There is also a game where a man is on the run, and some demons are chasing him. Once he is caught up, he is dead, so he can only keep running forward, and faster and faster. Fast, and the user uses the gyroscope in the phone or swipes the screen to help him change direction and avoid obstacles when he is fleeing."

Wang Lin and Zhu Liangcheng were really dumbfounded.

is the same as cutting the rope. It is very simple and easy to learn, but the more you play, the more difficult it becomes.

games like this are simply for smartphones!

My goodness, what is the structure of Young Master Huan’s head?

How can some of his random ideas come out so amazing?

If you can have such a creative idea in the past few years, entrepreneurship will not fail like this!

is so popular!

"Well, I think of two for the time being. These two games should be released as soon as possible. I want to take them for free. They are now released on Apple's store and then promoted to various smartphone platforms."

"Is it free again?" Zhu Liangcheng felt unacceptable.

How come this young master Huan thinks it’s free?

Mobile game development without money? Does the employee's salary need money?

Is it because he has too much money and feels uncomfortable in his pocket? Wouldn't it be better to give us one point?

"Yes, it's still free!" Yang Huan nodded firmly.

Yang Huan has always believed that free plus in-app purchases, this is a major development trend of mobile games, because only free can build a huge audience, and among the audience, there are some users with spending power Naturally choose to consume.

At least, most of the games he played in his previous life were free with in-app purchases.

And how many in-app purchases can attract, it depends on your ability.

So this time he also decided to play like this.

But in my heart, I was thinking that if I made it so big, I guess I would have to write a threatening letter to my dad so that he could invest more money.

When Yang Huan remembered his father, Yang Wenfeng, who was far away in Longhai City, had just returned home from get off work. He had just stepped into the door and sneezed, causing Yang Huan's mother to nag on the sidelines.

"Someone must be speaking ill of me behind my back, otherwise I would be fine all day and suddenly sneeze."

"Bullshit, when did you become so superstitious?" Yang Huan's mother laughed and cursed.

Yang Baoping also gave his son a sideways look, "That is, you are also an old Communist Party member, this kind of feudal superstition is not good."

To his father, Yang Wenfeng didn't dare to be presumptuous, and immediately smirked.

At this moment, the cell phone rang, and it was from the United Kingdom. His son Yang Huan called.

Yang Wenfeng was proud of it, "Look, I said, there must be a problem, this kid called me suddenly, it must be because of him!"

Talking and laughing return to Talking and laughing, he still connected his son's phone immediately.
