Chapter 416 "Time Magazine" Interview

Although Lin Hui can understand this kind of commercial temptation, it is only understanding.

For this kind of elusive email, Lin Hui is not in the mood to try to figure it out.

After a general look, I feel that the emails that don't have much value are directly dragged to the trash can.

This is not to blame for Lin Hui's perfunctory, if he really had the patience to compete with these emails, Lin Hui wouldn't need to work and live, just soaking in the mailbox every day would be enough.

For the sake of efficiency, it is rumored that when grading essays for the college entrance examination, the judges read an essay in an average of 28 seconds.

Lin Hui is similar now, basically processing an email in more than ten seconds on average.

Only a few Lin Hui who seem to be more valuable or whose content looks more interesting will reply carefully.

Rao is Lin Hui who adopts such an attitude and pays special attention to efficiency in execution.

But it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Lin Hui got rid of the valuable emails in the mailbox.

Lin Hui couldn't help but think, it's time to need an assistant.

Throw boring and boring tasks like handling daily emails to the assistant and you're done.

I have an assistant...

This will greatly free Lin Hui from these trivial tasks.

……

Among the many unread emails today, things related to business cooperation are nothing important.

The emails outside of business cooperation are worth mentioning:
An email from TIME magazine to Lin Hui.

TIME magazine said that their team plans to conduct an interview with Lin Hui in the near future.

TIME magazine asked if Lin Hui would be interested in accepting an exclusive interview with the magazine?

The so-called "TIME Magazine" is better known as Time Magazine.

"Time" is a magazine founded in 1923, and it can be regarded as having a long history.

Lin Hui remembers that "Time Magazine" is one of the three major current affairs weekly magazines in country M.

But the scope of influence of this publication is not limited to country M, the publication also has a considerable influence around the world.

Many people are proud to be on the cover of Time Magazine.

It seems that only those with the power to change the times have the privilege of being on the cover of Time Magazine.

Uh, now "Time Magazine" is going to conduct an exclusive interview with Lin Hui?
Lin Hui couldn't help but wonder if this is the rhythm of being on the cover of "Time Magazine"?
This news made Lin Hui's eyes brighten.

But it's just a glimpse.

It's nothing to be proud of Lin Hui who has the chance to be featured in "Time Magazine" now.

Lin Hui remembered that Nick D'Aloisio (Nick D'Aloisio) mentioned by Huang Jing not long ago was published in "Time Magazine" last year.

The internet industry has always been full of geniuses.

And Nick D'Aloisio is one of those geniuses.

Generally, boys are still addicted to online games when they are 15 years old.

Nick D'Aloisio (at the age of 15) has independently developed a mobile news reading app called "Summly".

The software can automatically condense any news content into a 400-word summary, enabling users to read news quickly.

2013年3月25日，17岁的尼克将这款软件其卖给美国雅虎公司，赚得3000万美元。

After that, Nick became the youngest multi-millionaire in the world.

After that, Nick went directly to Yahoo and became the youngest engineer in Yahoo's history.

After achieving this series of dazzling results (of course, these results are still inferior when compared with Lin Hui, but it can't help that he became famous earlier).

Nick D'Aloisio was on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States.

At the same time, Nick D'Aloisio was also named one of the "World's Most Influential Youths in 2013" by Time Magazine in the United States.

There is a precedent for a young technical genius like Nick D'Aloisio to be featured in the US/National Time Magazine.

It doesn't seem surprising that Lin Hui even appeared in Time Magazine.

After all, whether it is technical influence or wealth achievements, Lin/Hui is now crushing Nick D'Aloisio in all directions.

Anyway, there's no reason Nick D'Aloisio can be on Time's Lin/Grey and he can't.

It is a good opportunity to be interviewed by a worldwide publication like Time Magazine.

But Lin/Hui didn't get carried away.

Although the domestic media has almost completely positive reports on Lin/Hui him.

However, it is hard to say from what angle overseas media such as "Time" will explain Lin/Hui's past experience.

After all, the ass decides the head.

The position determines the thinking of understanding the problem.

Even the domestic media are very curious about Lin/Hui's past.

However, the starting point of the report adopted is naturally to maintain Lin/Grey.

It is difficult to say how the overseas media will report on Lin/Hui with what kind of thoughts.

And even the starting point of overseas media reports is good.

It would be no fun if you meet a reporter who likes to make big news.

After all, it is different from the position of domestic journalists and their affiliated organizations.

Some well-known overseas journalists have a lot of autonomy.

It is even difficult for the newspaper itself to influence the thoughts of these reporters.

It is not uncommon for such journalists to sometimes speak against the organization they belong to or even express a different position.

How else can these jz like to make big news.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the eventual outcome of being interviewed by Time Magazine will be as Lin/Hui expected.

Don't blame Lin/Hui for being so dark.

I would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree.

And don't believe the brain circuits of some crooked reporters.

Although Lin/Hui is eager to rise to fame.

But Lin Hui knows that only the matching of strength and reputation is the correct development direction.

Before there is enough strength.

It is best to make a fortune in silence.

Having said that, material development does not follow Lin Hui's subjective will.

It's useless for Lin Hui to think too much about some things now.

And plans often fail to keep up with changes.

Over-planning will only add to your troubles.

So Lin Hui didn't think too much about it.

……

After processing the mail, Lin Hui took a rest.

Speaking of which, Lin Hui has been quite regular in his work and rest recently.

When Lin Hui woke up again.

It was already past seven in the morning.

Judging from the recent regularity of work and rest time.

Since returning to this world on June 6nd.

From the incompatibility at the beginning to the present.

Lin Hui has become more and more accustomed to living in such a time and space.

should also adapt.

After all, there is no such thing as deportation to the place of origin even if it is not suitable for high probability.

Lin Hui looked at the date, and it was already June 6.

It's almost July.

In the coming June, Lin Hui had a fulfilling life.

Lin Hui hopes that it will be like this in the future.

……

At around nine o'clock in the morning on June 6, Lin Hui checked all kinds of information he had recently received.

Lin Hui noticed that he had received another text message from the bank on his mobile phone.

Judging from these notices, the balance on Lin Huiwei's bank card number 6699 has changed from 9060 million yuan to 9950 million yuan.

Judging from the data changes, the growth of domestic income is still very rapid.

As for why it can maintain such rapid growth?

Naturally, thanks to Lin Hui's previous updates to the games "Life Restart Simulator", "2048" and "FLAPPPY BIRD".

Because of Lin Hui's intensive updates of these games and the intensive promotion of the platform.

As a result, the popularity of the games "Life Reopening Simulator", "2048", and "FLAPPPY BIRD" has slightly picked up.

When the topic of related games is not bad.

It is normal for these games to have a good popularity now.

As for the specific reasons for Lin Hui’s domestic income:

The biggest contributors are the old players who bought the "FLAPPPY BIRD" DLC.

The price of Lin Hui's "FLAPPPY BIRD" DLC is 6 yuan.

Now look at it from the background and there have been nearly 24 million valid downloads of DLC in the past 200 minutes.

Although this data is much inferior to the results of "a total of more than 8 million effective downloads of DLC within 500 hours of its launch".

But at the beginning of its launch, Lin Hui adopted an eight-hour exemption policy.

Even though the download data was good at first.
But it couldn't bring Lin Hui any income.

And now there are nearly 200 million valid downloads.

But it will actually bring Lin Hui a huge income.

According to the corresponding data on the background of individual developers.

This rapid growth should probably continue for a day or two.

True enough.

The DLC of "FLAPPY BIRD" in China may have about 200 million to 300 million valid downloads.

what is this concept?

That is to say, in China, the DLC of "FLAPPPY BIRD" will also bring about 1200 million to 1800 million yuan in revenue.

Lin Hui is naturally happy to see this.

Although the domestic income is growing rapidly, the growth of overseas income is not slow at all.

Judging from the information sent by the bank, the balance on Lin Hui's 0010 card has changed quite a lot.

The balance soared from $9412 million to $10912 million.

Although this income growth is not as rapid as yesterday's growth.

But it's not slow at all.

Especially when compared with domestic income, it can be called a crushing existence.

Although the money is just a series of cold numbers after reaching a certain level.

But which rich man minds that this string of icy numbers keeps growing?
At least Lin Hui didn't mind.

And compared to Lin Hui's grand dream.

Just a nine-figure dollar is nothing.

As for why overseas income has grown so rapidly?

Lin Hui thinks that the overseas version of South Wind APP, namely South Wind Pro, is widely sought after, which is part of the reason.

However, although such a software is widely sought after overseas, it has gradually become a thing of the past.

The income brought by the software South Wind Pro to Lin Hui has gradually declined.

This has nothing to do with Lin Hui's strength in this software.

Professional software is like that, the users are quite limited, even if the software is very good, the effect it can play is limited.

In the case of a limited professional user group, it is still difficult to use South Wind Pro as a cash cow in the long run.

Even many users who buy South Wind Pro now do not just need it, but just for convenience in the future.

——Lin Hui He indicated in the promotional slogan that those who bought the South Wnd Pro version now will enjoy certain convenience when the ultra version is launched in the future.

Although the market performance of South Wnd Pro is already very weak now.

However, judging from the whole cycle, Lin Hui is very satisfied with the achievements of South Wind Pro software.

What's more, Lin Hui doesn't just rely on the software South Wind Pro to find gold overseas.

The game "T-rex's Journey" is now Lin Hui's new force in his overseas Nuggets.

"T-rex's Journey" has achieved very impressive results since its launch.

After reaching 1117 million effective downloads overseas on the first day of its launch.

The game also achieved 575 million effective downloads on the second day after its launch.

Although the game "T-rex's Journey" compared to yesterday's effective downloads, the next day's effective downloads were almost halved.

But there is nothing to say. In the past, Lin Hui made buyout games that basically follow this law of change.

And even the next day's effective downloads were almost cut in half.

The achievement of more than 500 million times is enough to say that it is quite a proud achievement.

This achievement is also worthy of Lin Hui. He is touted by the commercial media as the uncrowned king in the field of small game development.

When Lin Hui checked the Apple platform monopoly, he would naturally have a guaranteed 85% income share.

According to the Apple platform exclusive agreement reached between Lin Hui and Apple, the part involved in the division is described as follows:

"Party B (Lin Hui, the protagonist's name will be directly written below for convenience)'s specific share ratio for developing games will be linked to Lin Hui's total revenue from developing games.

When the game developed by Lin Hui chose to be exclusive on the Apple platform.

If the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is less than 1000 million US dollars

Lin Ash can only get 85% of the share;
And if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is more than 1000 million US dollars

For every $200 million increase in total revenue, Linhui will receive an additional 1% share.

And so on until the proportion of forest ash reaches 90%.

In particular, if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui exceeds 5000 million US dollars, Lin Hui has the conditions to propose an adjustment to the share ratio.

The specific adjustment is mainly based on the conclusions of the discussions between the two parties, but in principle, the share adjustment ratio should not be less than 2 percentage points. "

The game "T-rex's Journey" sells for $2.99 ​​overseas.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, the game "T-rex's Journey" has already reached a total of 1692 million effective downloads overseas.

Even based on the sales price of US$2.99, a small game like "T-rex's Journey" has achieved a revenue of US$5059.08.

Previously, Lin Hui made the game "T-rex's Journey" because its revenue exceeded 2000 million US dollars, and Lin Hui had already enjoyed 90% of the sharing treatment.

According to the previous agreement, it seems that Lin Hui can at least get an additional two percentage points in the current cumulative revenue of more than 5000 million US dollars.

Although it is only a two percent share, it corresponds to tens of millions of dollars.

It's not a small sum, it should be several million if converted into RMB.

Therefore, Lin Hui would not say that he would ignore the extra share of at least two percentage points.
