Crossover: 2014

Chapter 401 Making Big Industry Cakes
The reason why Lin Hui has created a miracle is because Lin Hui's success this time is in addition to his outstanding performance in the market.

There are also many unusual meanings.

Among the few games that Lin Hui has produced in the past, only "2048", "FLAPPPY BIRD" and "HILL CCLIMB RACING" can be called global hits

As for the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" because of a series of transfer agreements, it will not have much to do with Lin Hui in the future.

In other words, only "2048" and "FLAPPPY BIRD" are truly global games that are still in the hands of Lin Hui. .

The overseas buyout price of the two is only 1 US dollar.

Because of such a situation, many overseas game analysts/reviewers believe that Gray Forest will maintain the initial price of $1 for a long time in the future.

Unless Lin Hui produces a game of the level of "HILL CLIMB RACING", even if Gray Forest develops a new game, I am afraid that it can only gain a foothold in the $1 price range.

He didn't expect Lin Hui to show his ability to get involved in higher-priced buyout games so quickly.

You must know that monetization through the game buyout system seems more attractive.

But more than half of the buyout games in the app store are priced at 6 yuan, or 1 US dollar.

Not many games cost $3 or more.

Judging from the strength of Lin Hui's ability to get involved in higher-priced buyout games.

Huang Jing feels that Lin Hui can reach a very high level even if he only focuses on the field of independent game production.

Judging from Huang Jing's understanding of Lin Hui.

Lin Hui's ideal is quite ambitious.

Huang Jing knew that Lin Hui's goal was far from being limited by the small world of games.

Huang Jing is also well aware of this.

Huang Jing is also looking forward to Lin Hui's ability to go to a wider world in the future.

What could be more fulfilling than witnessing the growth of a future great person to the altar?
The expression "climbing to the altar" may have a strong divine color.

But Huang Jing didn't think her idea was exaggerated.

Although it is not very clear about Lin Hui's position in the algorithm field.

But Huang Jing is still very clear about Lin Hui's status in terms of games.

It can be said that in fact Lin Hui is already a "sacred god" in the field of domestic game development.

In the past, Lin Hui made a bunch of small games such as "2048" and "FLAPPY BIRD" to make crazy money.

But this does not mean that Lin Hui has robbed other developers of their money.

On the contrary, judging from the research of Apple's marketing department.

When Lin Hui released the game, the total revenue of the app store games in the same period was more.

In other words, when Lin Hui released the game, the "big market" was even bigger in the same period.

If measured in this way, it can be said that Lin Hui is the one who makes the cake of the big industry in a sense.

Lin Hui has proved to domestic game developers almost by himself that the road of independent game development is not only feasible.

And can go very far.

The most important thing is that the appearance of Lin Hui seems to "prove" that the threshold for independent game development is not high.

Uh... Although Huang Jing knows that Lin Hui's strength is far beyond what ordinary high school graduates can match.

But not everyone can understand the detailed process of Lin Hui's fortune, and some details are even more unknown.

After all, Lin Hui's rise was too fast, and the route of his rise was too unimaginable.

All in all, Lin Hui's past achievements will only be seen by those who don't know the inside story:
——After graduating from high school, a certain small game was boring and tinkered with a few small games, and it immediately became a hit, and it took tens of millions of dollars.

Drawing such a conclusion will no doubt fuel the interest of some investors or related technologists.

Although these people don't know much about the inside story of Lin Hui's fortune.

But that doesn't stop a lot of people from trying it out.

After all, there is no shortage of blindly confident people.

Just some vague but tempting prospects are enough for many people who think they are good or just brave people to invest in independent game development.

Especially recently, there's a YouTube thread called How Much Money Does Game Development Make? GRAY FOREST's new tour "one line of code is worth $[-]" video.

After the producer of the video learned that GRAY FOREST's "T-rex's Journey", a small dinosaur game, had earned more than $3000 million.

Analyzed "T-rex's Journey" by GRAY FOREST and came up with a demo.

Judging from the demo, all the engineering files of "T-rex's Journey", including the UI and the core gameplay of the game, can be completed in about 3000 lines of code.

Simple division, almost one line of code corresponds to $[-].

So there was the title "How profitable is game development? Gray Forest's new game is worth $[-] in one line of code".

Although the video producer also said that GRAY FOREST can achieve a line of code to bring in $[-] in revenue, largely because of its strong personal appeal.

But the viewers of many videos don't have so much logic in their minds.

After watching the video, many viewers only have one sentence left in their minds: "One line of code for game development is $[-]".

Such a video went viral, even reaching 1700 million views on YouTube.

Now I don't know how many people who have nothing to do with game development have to be fooled into the pit.

Huang Jing really wanted to know, but those people who entered the pit with dreams of getting rich would have amazing expressions when they woke up.

But it might not be so easy to wake up from the dream.

It is not so easy for people with dreams of getting rich to constantly hypnotize themselves to wake up from their dreams.

……

Speaking of which, there were other reasons why Huang Jing called Lin Hui this time.

At least Huang Jing didn't specifically congratulate Lin Hui on the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing knew that for Lin Hui, the current rapid increase in income was gratifying.

But it will definitely not let Lin Hui stop there.

Lin Hui's gaze is obviously farther and deeper.

It was so deep that Huang Jing didn't know where that scorching gaze finally led to.

But Huang Jing knew that direction was towards the future.

……

Speaking of which, the main purpose of Huang Jing's call to Lin Hui this time is to report to Lin Hui about the progress of the online office system leasing.

So after a brief chat about the content related to the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing chatted with Lin Hui about online office.

Regarding the leasing of the online office software "F.FSG", Huang Jing has already conducted preliminary negotiations with overseas teams.

Huang Jing's call was mainly to give Lin Hui feedback on the outcome of the negotiation, and at the same time, Huang Jing wanted to know Lin Hui's next plan.

When it comes to online office, in fact, Lin Hui didn't tinker with online office software in his previous life.

However, this does not prevent Lin Hui from expressing his views on online office.

If you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run.

In this case, it is not impossible for Lin Hui to do some micro-manipulation.

Lin Hui has used similar online office software/office systems in previous lives.

Lin Hui is still very clear about some common shortcomings or disadvantages of online office software/online office systems in the previous life.

Speaking of the reason why many companies choose to work online in the previous life, it is also a last resort for many companies.

When faced with certain special circumstances, people are not allowed to gather together, and the normal operation of the enterprise requires countless technical personnel to carry out daily work.

In this case, online office software/online office system has become the last choice for migrant workers.

Speaking of which, the earliest online office software/online office system in the previous life was actually quite informal.

Because the earliest online office in China in the previous life did not focus entirely on office work.

When many people turn their attention to online office, it is only to understand the urgent need.

The earliest online office was mainly used for online meetings.

In the early days, this kind of online communication was completely realized by WeChat/Xin groups and QQ groups.

Although instant messaging software such as WeChat and Penguin can provide online meeting functions to a certain extent.

But just online meetings are not the whole of online office.

With the further upgrade of enterprises' demand for online office tasks.

Enterprises began to turn to professional office software such as Ding Ding and Fei Mi.

Lin Hui was a bit disapproving of the professional capabilities advertised by this type of professional office software.

Lin Hui thinks it is better to call this kind of software professional office software.

It is more appropriate to call it "general office software".

The reason why Lin Hui calls this kind of software general-purpose office software rather than professional office software.

Naturally, it is because these software are still inferior in terms of professionalism.
