Chapter 394 Plague Inc?

However, although Lin Hui is still quite clear about all aspects involved in online office.

Lin Hui didn't talk nonsense or show off his knowledge.

It seems that just like what Huang Jing thought before, due to the accumulation of wealth, the current Lin Hui is somewhat different from the past.

Although Lin Hui believes that he is still in the early stage of entrepreneurship.

However, the capital and information capital in his hands make Lin Hui's status obviously more detached than his peers.

At least for Lin Hui, he doesn't need to be too responsible for trivial and detailed content.

What Lin Hui has to do is to grasp the direction.

Although it can save a lot of trouble when the director of letting go and handing over some trivial matters to others.

However, if you want everything to go smoothly, you must have capable go-getters.

The talents under Lin Hui's hands are far from enough.

But having said that, it teaches us to look at the problem in two parts.

Although there is still a shortage of talents in Lin Hui's hands, this lack of talents is relative to Lin Hui's grand career in the future.

As far as the present is concerned, it seems that Lin Hui's "one-acre-three-point land" does not need any crouching dragons and phoenixes.

According to the experience described by Huang Jing before, Huang Jing has experience in coordinating projects such as online office.

Therefore, Lin Hui believes that Huang Jing is still familiar with the road this time, and can grasp this matter.

Sure enough, Lin Hui only briefly explained a few words.

Huang Jing already understood Lin Hui's core idea.

After chatting about things related to online office software in a few words.

Huang Jing and Lin Hui casually chatted about other things.

It's not limited to technology, but Huang Jing also found that Lin Hui doesn't seem to be very good at topics other than technology.

Um, a technical nerd.

……

Just when the two were about to hang up the phone.

Huang Jing seemed to suddenly think of something.

So he asked Lin Hui: "By the way, are you interested in acquiring a game studio?"

Huang Jing's suggestion at the end of the call with Lin Hui was indeed a bit beyond Lin Hui's expectations.

Why did you suddenly talk about acquiring a game studio?

In the previous chats, Huang Jing was undoubtedly optimistic about Lin Hui's rise directly relying on technology.

Why are you starting to suggest mergers and expansions to Lin Hui now?
Could it be that Lin Hui is rich and powerful now, so he came up with this suggestion.

Or is it that Lin Hui's previous actions on office software were interpreted by Huang Jing as not completely rejecting imported technology?
There is one thing to say, even if the current Lin Hui takes the road of mergers and expansions, it is indeed not short of money.

As for the acquisition of the studio?
Acquiring studios is nothing new in the gaming industry.

Because the composition of the game production team is always quite complicated, if you want to make a good game, you always need to absorb outstanding talents in various fields.

Lin Hui remembered that in his previous life, Goose Factory had merged various other game companies and game studios on the road of game expansion.

Although there is a certain truth in merging studios, there are also certain reasons.

But isn’t it good to set up your own studio?

Especially starting a game studio is not a complicated thing.

The threshold is not high.

In many cases, the threshold is not high, which can basically be equivalent to the chaos of the industry.

Even many power leveling studios are euphemistically called game studios.

Moreover, many game studio industries come from across borders.

There is no way, who makes the game industry attract money, and it is not surprising that it is easy to attract many passers-by.

Lin Hui remembered that at the time of his rebirth, even Xiao/Bing, who couldn't even compete with games, wanted to set up a game studio to enter the game industry to get a share of the pie.

As for Lin Hui wanting to start a game studio, it is also not difficult.

Lin Hui was dragged by his teacher to set up a studio when he was in college.

Although that experience was basically a "guinea pig" for Lin Hui.

But at least I am not very unfamiliar with the concept and concept of the studio's operation.

What's more, Lin Hui's current status is different from his previous life.

The name Gray Forest is still very appealing in the field of game design.

Even with Lin Hui's current appeal, the establishment of a studio does not require Lin Hui to do it himself.

As long as Lin Hui reveals his intention to set up a studio.

Immediately will receive olive branches from major game companies and Internet giants who are interested in deepening the game field.

In this case, why does Lin Hui want to buy a game studio?
Is it because of the rapid growth of wealth that people are considered stupid?
Having said that, Lin Hui felt that Huang Jing should not give Lin Hui some unreliable suggestions.

Lin Hui asked: "What game studio to buy?"

Huang Jing said: "If you really plan to acquire a game studio, there are currently several options.

In China, you can consider Guang'an Studio, Shadow Studio, Luo Yu Studio...

Guang'an Studio is a game studio of Jinwu. There are currently 7 people in the team. The representative work is "Guang'an". At present, the studio is good at plot design of the game;
Shadow Studio is a game studio in Hangzhou, currently has a team of 19 people, and its representative work is "Code X09". At present, the studio is better at art production of games;

And Luo Yu Studio is a game studio in Yangcheng, the current team..."

Huang Jing's suggestion at the end of the call with Lin Hui was indeed a bit beyond Lin Hui's expectations.

Although there is a certain truth in merging studios, there are also certain reasons.

But isn’t it good to set up your own studio?

Especially starting a game studio is not a complicated thing.

The threshold is not high.

Low threshold is not entirely a good thing.

The low barrier to entry means that it is easy for anyone who wants to step through the door.

In many cases, low thresholds can basically be equated to industry chaos.

Even many power leveling studios are euphemistically called game studios.

Moreover, many game studio industries come from across borders.

There is no way, who makes the game industry attract money, and it is not surprising that it is easy to attract many passers-by.

And Luo Yu Studio is a game studio in Yangcheng, the current team..."

Judging from Huang Jing's description, Huang Jing is not aimless.

Huang Jing introduced these studios in detail.

It can be seen that Huang Jing has done a lot of work.

Having said that, Huang Jing said that Lin Hui, a few domestic game studios, basically had no impression.

At least Lin Hui had never heard of these studios in his previous life.

It doesn't seem like a well-known studio.

Not much interest in these studios.

Moreover, many game studios in China are simply not on the right track.

And the game studios that are on the right track seem to have nothing to do with the domestic game manufacturers on the surface.

In fact, it is hard to say, and it is very likely that they have been secretly recruited and turned into the shape of these big factories.

Technological innovations of major manufacturers are not necessarily so great.

But the method of "treating guests, beheading and accepting dogs" is quite skilled.

In this case, unless domestic game studios know the basics.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that Lin Hui will not merge and acquire.

It's easy to overwhelm.

……

Lin Hui said to Huang Jing: "Let's talk about the overseas studios?"

Huang Jing also noticed that Lin Hui had little interest in domestic game studios.

So he turned to introduce some overseas game studios to Lin Hui.

Huang Jing said: "Overseas, there are not many studios that are convenient for us to start at this time, such as SHOCK SHIVER, NEXT01, Ndemic Creations..."

Huang Jing continued: "Among these studios, I think NEXT01 and Ndemic Creations are more suitable for you to start with now."

Lin Hui was stunned. He had no impression of NEXT01, a crooked game studio?

But Ndemic Creations?
For this name, Lin Hui had some impressions in his mind.

Although Lin Hui still had a vague impression of the name.

Absolutely not impressed by overseas game giants such as SUPERCELL (Super Cell) and Xbox Game Studios.

But for a time traveler like Lin Hui.

Even if it's just a vague impression.

I'm afraid these things were not something to be underestimated in the previous life.

So Lin Hui, the Ndemic Creations studio mentioned by Huang Jing, couldn't help being a little more curious.

Lin Hui asked Huang Jing, "Which studio are you talking about called Ndemic Creations? Are there any representative works?"

Huang Jing replied: "This is called Ndemic Creations, which is a game studio in China.

Because of the limited scale of this studio, it is still doing small things.

Not to mention any particularly well-known masterpieces.

If you have to say it, at present, the only game under the Ndemic Creations studio is Plague Inc, which can be regarded as a little famous. "

Hearing Huang Jing's words, Lin Hui's eyes lit up.

Lin Hui: "Plague Inc???"

Huang Jing on the other end of the phone thought Lin Hui was interested in the game Plague Inc after hearing Lin Hui's words.

Huang Jing then briefly introduced the game to Lin Hui.

Listening to Huang Jing's description, Lin Hui recalled the content related to this game.

Lin Hui remembered playing the game Plague Inc in his spare time in his previous life.

At that time, it cost Lin Hui 18 yuan to buy the game Plague Inc.

Corresponding to the overseas market, it is about 2.99 US dollars.

It is also a "light" game.

I am still quite impressed with the game Plague 1NC, Lin Hui.

This game is an anti-routine game, which is different from the general game protagonist's value concept of saving the world.

In PLAGUE 1NC, the player is not the savior who saves the world.

But a Destroyer who deliberately destroys everything...

Let's not talk about it from the player's point of view.

From the perspective of game developers, the game Plague Inc in the previous life was quite successful.

Although the revenue of Plague Inc is comparable to SUPERCELL's ability to attract money from several games.

But the total income of Plague Inc in the previous life also exceeded [-] million US dollars.

For a work made at a cost of 1 US dollars, the game's revenue has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

This return on investment is simply overwhelming all kinds of movies.

The results of this game of Plague Inc in the previous life.

Even the revenue achieved by some of the previous games carried by Lin Hui, a reborn person, is not far behind.

In the last time and space, Plague Inc's "unremarkable" small game was not unsuccessful.

Lin Hui remembered that in his previous life, in 2017, the number of global players of Plague Inc exceeded 1 million.

Even according to some media in previous lives, 1.3% of the world's population are players of this game.

If this is true, if Plague Inc players counted as a country, it would be the 14th most populous country in the world."

As for why Plague Inc was able to achieve such results in its previous life?
Lin Hui remembered that some media analysts in his previous life believed that most of the success of the game was due to the spread of the game community.

During the game testing period, the word-of-mouth of the players has brought very good results.

In addition, there were few mobile games with the same theme as Plague Inc at that time.

From a certain point of view, the success of Plague Inc's previous life is also a victory of swordsmanship.
