The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 170 The Mysterious President Xu

The venue for the press conference is not that big.

After all, Yaoguang Entrepreneurship Park is only a place for start-up teams to start a business. The largest office space on each floor in the East Park can accommodate about 50 people.

Fortunately, there weren't too many journalists and media that came this time. The press conference was crowded with more than [-] media, and it seemed that the press conference was very lively.

An Xinyue from Min University looked at the gift bag in her hand, and was a little surprised.

Originally, she thought that after saying that she was a student reporter from Min University, she would not be treated well, but she did not expect that the staff still gave a gift bag, and there was no difference in treatment.

Opening it up and looking inside, the contents inside are very simple, a newly packaged voice recorder, a flyer for a new game, a red envelope, and other small gifts.

Among them, the most valuable ones are probably the recording pen of more than [-] yuan and the red envelope.

This is also the reason why reporters usually like to go out to interview big companies, because these companies are relatively generous, and the gifts they get are basically the reporter's extra money.

For a small start-up company like Tianshu Company, everyone present is already quite satisfied with the ability to meet the gift specifications.

After returning home after the interview, I naturally didn't mind being more biased towards Tianshu Company. Anyway, there are many people scolding Tencent, and they are not bad.

"Thank you all for being here today."

Gong Ao, the game director of Tianshu Company, stepped onto the podium with a smile on his face after Yao Yuanyuan stepped down from the stage. His round body and face looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Before we start the presentation of the new game, let me share some good news with you."

When Gong Ao was speaking, Peng Yuxuan next to him released the PPT in good time, which was reflected on the curtain behind.

"First of all, it's Fruit Assassin's achievements overseas."

"On August 8th, Fruit Assassin was officially launched in the overseas App Store. In less than two weeks, the sales volume exceeded 20, bringing millions of dollars in revenue to Tianshu Company."

"And now, the time has come to the end of September, and the sales volume of Fruit Assassin in North America has exceeded 9 million copies, and it is expected to exceed 750 million copies tonight."

"During September, Fruit Assassin has topped the daily sales list three times, and has been ranked among the top ten in the App Store's game category sales list for a long time, and has been widely acclaimed in North America."

Upon hearing the sales volume of 800 million copies, the reporter who didn't pay much attention to this aspect when he came here before showed a surprised expression.

Especially An Xinyue, who only paid attention to the situation of domestic fruit assassins before, only knew that it was the public opinion caused by Tencent’s plagiarism. Although she also heard that fruit assassins are very popular abroad, she did not expect it to be so popular.

And even those who have investigated this information before, did not expect Fruit Assassin to perform so dazzlingly on the leaderboard.

You know, their previous results for Fruit Assassin are still on the App Store's new game sales list.

The new game sales list is completely different from the game sales list.

As a game produced by Huaxia Company, Fruit Assassin was able to compete with Laomei's game on the sales charts in foreign countries. This surprised them, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and recorded it.

An Xinyue was recording below while calculating in her heart.

The sales volume of 800 million copies, she remembers that the overseas price of Fruit Assassin is 2.99 US dollars, so isn't this the sales volume of more than [-] million?

And it’s still a beautiful knife!

Even after deducting the pineapple company's commission and various taxes, only about half of it can actually go to Tianshu Company, but after converting it into RMB, the net profit of this piece can reach at least [-] to [-] million!
An Xinyue only felt a buzzing in her head, which was very powerful.

She clearly remembered that the original development team of the Fruit Assassin game was only six people.

Six people, with a monthly income of nearly [-] million.

What is this concept?
If Tianshu Company's follow-up new games can also maintain the results of Fruit Assassin, it has to be said that perhaps a new star will rise in the domestic game industry.

On the podium, Gong Ao watched the reaction of the reporters in the audience without any emotional fluctuations.

After all, he is also a very good game planner in a certain game department, and he has handled a lot of popular games, but they are all the kind of three-kingdom martial arts cover games.

But at least he can be regarded as someone who has seen big winds and waves.

So after the surprise of the reporters stabilized, Gong Ao continued: "Let's turn our perspective back to China."

"The domestic version of Fruit Assassin, due to some helpless factors, was originally scheduled to go online on September 9th, but was forced to advance to September 15th, and changed from a buyout system to a free system."

"From its launch at 10 noon on the 12th, the domestic version of Fruit Assassin has exceeded 100 million downloads in just three days."

"Breakthrough 500 million within a week."

"And just yesterday, the domestic download volume of Fruit Assassin has exceeded 1000 million, and the daily active users are as high as 300 million, which has become a new milestone for Tianshu Company."

"At the same time, for the three skins launched in the Fruit Assassin skin mall, the number of players who got them for free was 580 million, the number of people who paid for them was 57, and the number of people who bought all three skins was 12. More than four million."

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience talked a lot.

Although domestic user data seems to be better than foreign ones, it is frustrating that domestic revenue is too little.

In North America, as long as someone downloads it, it means that the other party has paid $2.99.

In China, it is far from enough for someone to download.

You have to find a way to get people to take the initiative to take money out of their pockets.

But even a popular mobile game like Fruit Ninja, which has risen through the huge wave of public opinion, only has sales of [-] million in a month.

It also has to share with the channel dealers, and after deducting taxes, it is estimated that even two million is enough.

Comparing with North America's monthly income of nearly [-] million yuan, let alone Tianshu Company, all the reporters present feel heartbroken for Tianshu Company.

Of course, the actual situation is not so dire.

After all, there are a full 300 million DAU data, and the daily price of just one open screen advertisement is about 10 to 20.

After a month, the revenue from just one screen advertisement alone must be at least four to five million, and it does not need to be shared with the channel dealer.

Counting other scattered income, Fruit Assassin's current domestic monthly income can barely touch the bottom of the tens of millions.

And as the number of downloads and daily active users of Fruit Assassin continue to grow, this income will also rise accordingly.

Once the download volume of Fruit Assassin exceeds [-] million, the magnitude of the income will be different.

You know, Fruit Ninja in the previous life has been downloaded more than 10 billion copies worldwide, and this is still achieved under the influence of the buyout system and piracy.

Especially during the 10 to 15 years of the fastest growth period, domestic piracy was quite rapid.

But right now Xu Xing directly chooses to make dimension reduction strikes for free, even the skins don't need to be paid, as long as they can get them in a few days, it directly eliminates the living space of piracy from the root.

Therefore, at this stage, the download volume of Fruit Assassin is definitely more exaggerated than that of Fruit Ninja in the previous life.

Later, Gong Ao announced some other news about the fruit assassin.

For example, the agency rights of Fruit Assassin in North America have been sold to a game agency company over there, and the other party is fully responsible for the later operation. Tianshu Company will only be responsible for the version update of the game in the future.

In addition, the game agency business in Europe, Japan, Korea and other places is also under negotiation, and Gong Ao also gave a brief introduction.

Afterwards, he continued: "During the National Day, Fruit Assassin will update two new modes, and open the friend leaderboard system, and will continue to open new modes such as friend battles in the future."

"The above is the good news about Fruit Assassin. I hope that the subsequent new games will be able to match their predecessors."

"Next, let's enter the questioning session, which is expected to last for 20 minutes, and then we will introduce the new game."

As soon as they heard that they could ask questions now, most of the reporters below had already raised their hands under Gong Ao's signal.

Gong Ao casually clicked on a reporter, stood up and said, "Hi Mr. Gong, I'm a reporter from Shanghai Internet Entertainment News. May I ask Mr. Xu from Qunxing Company to attend today?"

Just the first question immediately made all the reporters prick up their ears.

Although in the previous interviews, Yao Yuanyuan, the financial director of Qunxing Company, mentioned their founder Mr. Xu many times, but Mr. Xu himself never came forward from the beginning to the end.

The public knows very little about this mysterious Mr. Xu. They only know that the other party started to make Fruit Assassin in June this year, and planned the company's publicity strategy behind it.

But Mr. Xu's actual identity, background, family background, and even male or female are still unknown.

But in general, everyone is still guessing.

Being able to make mobile games and set his sights on the far side of the ocean, he dared to use Tencent's plagiarism to stir up public opinion and attract people to the game.

No matter how you look at it, it should be an old fritter on the Internet.

Must be at least 30 years old.

But considering the category of games, the age of the producer should not be much older, so the media predicts that Mr. Xu should be a young entrepreneur between 30 and 35 years old.

Moreover, he should have worked in a major game company for a period of time before he has such a wealth of experience.

Since he can enter a big factory, his academic qualifications are probably not bad, and the guarantee must be a copy, and he is likely to be from one of the first-class universities in China.

In this way, Mr. Xu is in his thirties, highly educated, has been immersed in the game industry for several years, resigned to start a business, and is young and promising. The completed image is almost outlined by the media.

It's just that I haven't been able to discover Mr. Xu's true appearance, so all the media present today have corresponding tasks.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Xu has a flight to the capital today, and I'll be in charge of the press conference, so Mr. Xu probably won't be able to meet you today." Gong Ao said with a smile on his round face, and then pointed Another reporter asked the other party to ask questions.

"Hello, Mr. Gong, I'm a reporter from Wutong.com. Just yesterday, three studios under Tencent released three new games one after another. The gameplay is very similar to Fruit Assassin. May I ask how Tianshu Company is doing it?" look at it?"

"As one of the top game manufacturers in China, Tencent's own strength and technical level are obvious to all." Gong Ao smiled warmly, without saying anything wild, but said lightly, "Fruit Assassin is the first game we produced. We are also flattered that games can get such attention and deep learning from Tencent.”

"As for the gameplay, it's all public content that can be used for reference. As long as it's not just a change of skin like Q Guo Ninja, and even the copywriting only changes a few words to copy it all, then Tianshu Company is happy to work with other manufacturers. The tourism market will become bigger and stronger.”

"The new games that our company will launch next are also types that have not been verified in the mobile game market so far."

"If the results after the launch are not bad, we also welcome Tencent to learn from the experience and make similar products with higher quality."

What he said was airtight, and he felt that there was a strange air of yin and yang everywhere.

The reporters below didn't expect the person in charge of the game to be so eloquent, so they quickly recorded his remarks.

But Gong Ao on the stage heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at the several documents on the stage, unexpectedly Mr. Xu had guessed all the questions asked by the press conference correctly.

And they all gave more detailed answers in advance.

Otherwise, with Gong Ao's upright temper, he might have started scolding by now.

……

After answering a few questions from the reporter again, Gong Ao entered the presentation of the new game.

He first spent more than ten minutes introducing the connection between the gyroscope on the mobile phone and the parkour game in detail, and then introduced the game of Secret Realm Escape.

After a real machine demonstration, the reporters in the audience watched the characters on the screen running forward, making coherent movements of leaning their bodies and turning, and couldn't help but let out a sound of wonder.

As a horizontal version of 2D Happy Run, Gong Ao didn't introduce too much, but just mentioned it when he introduced Escape from the Secret Realm.

After all, it is a game conference, or the innovative mode of 3D third-person perspective like Escape from Secret Realm will be more popular, and it is obviously more gimmick, which is easy for the media to publicize.

……

After five o'clock in the evening, the press conference finally ended.

An Xinyue followed the crowd out of the venue, and followed everyone to wait for the elevator.

Because of the large number of people, An Xinyue didn't like to fight, so she waited for the person in front to take the elevator down, and then waited for the next one.

But when the next elevator came up, a very beautiful and delicate girl came out of the elevator door, with a petite figure and short hair that just reached the chin length, dragging a suitcase in her hand, walking all the way into the Tianshu company .

An Xinyue looked at the other person's back and blinked, and a surprising guess suddenly popped up in her heart.

So instead of getting off the elevator with the others, she slipped silently to the aisle on the right side of the Tianshu company entrance, and waited quietly at the place leading to the bathroom.

If the one just now was the youngest 18-year-old girl in the rumored start-up team of Tianshu Company, then An Xinyue would have made a lot of money.

If I could interview the other party in a while and confirm the identity of the other party's Min University freshman, I might not only be able to publish this report in the school magazine, but also be quoted and reprinted by other media.

Thinking of this, An Xinyue calmed down and waited patiently.

Fortunately, Yan Chijiu, who dragged the suitcase in, didn't make her wait too long. Soon, An Xinyue saw Yanchijiu, who had just walked in, come out again.

But this time, there were two other people who followed.

One of them was a boy who looked equally young, also dragging a suitcase in his hand.

The other one was the CFO Yao Yuanyuan whom An Xinyue met at the press conference earlier.

An Xinyue originally wanted to go straight forward, but after hearing their conversation, she subconsciously stopped.

She was afraid of being chased away by the chief financial officer and would not be interviewed, so she had to wait for the opportunity.

"After finishing the company's affairs at the beginning of the month, send me a message." The young boy said to Yao Yuanyuan, "After I finished talking with you, you have to bring someone over to make a contract."

"Understood." Yao Yuanyuan said, "Be careful on the road, remember to take good care of your jealousy, and don't bully others."

"Have I ever bullied you?" The boy looked at the petite girl with short hair.

The girl immediately shook her head vigorously: "No, no."

"Tsk." Yao Yuanyuan let out a voice of disgust, looking at Yan Chi's vinegar with a bit of resentment.

After sending the two into the elevator, Yao Yuanyuan said, "Be careful."

An Xinyue, who was at the side, saw that the elevator door had closed, and rushed to the elevator entrance to press the button.

But the elevators for Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu on the left had already gone down, and An Xinyue could only wait for the elevator on the right to come up.

It took a full two or three minutes for An Xinyue to take the elevator down to the first floor, but at this time the two people were no longer in sight.

She quickly ran towards the gate of the entrepreneurial park, and saw the backs of the two people from a distance.

Before she could catch up, the two had already loaded the suitcase into the trunk of the taxi and sat in the back seat.

When An Xinyue chased to the door, the taxi had already driven away from the door and disappeared at the corner of the street not far away.

Looking at the corner where the taxi disappeared, An Xinyue was in a daze, recalling the conversation she heard in the building earlier, and her mind was spinning.

If that petite girl is the youngest member of the start-up team in the rumors, and the financial director is one of the confirmed members of the initial team.

The other boy who looks very young should obviously be a member of the start-up team.

Thinking of this, An Xinyue was shocked suddenly, thinking that at the press conference earlier, Mr. Gong had answered that Mr. Xu from Tianshu Company was about to fly to Kyoto to handle business today.

And the two of them were dragging suitcases just now...

An Xinyue opened her mouth wide, and an astonishing guess slowly emerged in her mind.

No way?
Why did the boy suspected to be Mr. Xu look so young? !
Didn't you mean in your thirties?

This is probably not even 25 years old, right?
An Xinyue stood at the gate of the entrepreneurial park, thinking about these in her mind, unable to recover for a long time.

……

----------

In the taxi, Xu Xing took out his mobile phone and checked the situation on Weibo.

Just after the press conference ended.

The Weibo name has been changed from the original [Tianshu Studio-Fruit Assassin] to the official certification number of [Fruit Assassin], and a new Weibo has just been released.

The content is a series of data and achievements announced by Gong Ao at the press conference.

In the end, [Fruit Assassin] also created the official account of [Tianshu Game] that had just been created and certified.

At the same time, [Tianshu Game] also released a new Weibo.

[Tianshu Games' team will launch two new games during the National Day]

["Escape from the Secret Land": launched on October 10]

["Happy Run": launched on October 10]

【Please look forward to it】

Attached below is the real machine demonstration video of the secret escape.

Before Tianshu officially released the news, since yesterday, there have been many news articles criticizing Tencent for plagiarism again.

Especially after discovering that Tencent unrepentantly and shamelessly released three follow-up mobile games similar to Fruit Assassin, many netizens were angered again.

You must know that the current download volume of Fruit Assassin in China has reached the order of [-] million, and the daily activity is around [-] million.

This number of players is not comparable to a new game that has just been launched for two days.

But looking at these fierce remarks on the Internet, after the flames of war gradually burned to the official account of Tianshu Company, Xu Xing's expression seemed a little weird.

Because he didn't buy any press releases at all this time, it seemed like a spontaneous behavior by the media.

But as things evolved, Xu Xing quickly noticed something was wrong.

[What kind of idiot would play something like cutting fruit every day?Don't you have any brains to keep supporting Tencent's plagiarism game?Domestic games are rotten by you stupid players! 】

[That fruit tycoon really made me laugh, he put on the skin of a fruit shop management game, in essence, he still attracts players by cutting fruits, plagiarism is plagiarism, and he made it so fresh and refined, it's really disgusting]

[Is it really the origin of all things fruit assassin?If you want to say that Q Fruit Ninja plagiarized it, that’s fine. Cutting Fruits every day has already made innovations in the gameplay mode. Those who have played it will know that it is not plagiarism at all, at most it is a reference]

[Some assassin dogs are really annoying, you can just play your fruit assassin, but you have to run to the fruit tycoon to scold people, the game mode of the tycoon is more like the operation of a fruit shop, and cutting fruit is just a small game in it, Can this mess with you too?Why are you so sensitive? 】

[Just read a report on the Internet and start copying it in vain?You have to play the game yourself to know whether it is plagiarism, and these three games are free, you will get a lot of meat once you play it, and you will know it is not plagiarism after playing it]

Seeing the scolding battle gradually set off on the Internet, Xu Xing laughed and shook his head.

I didn't expect that after relying on Tencent's traffic before, there would be a day of being rubbed in turn.

But he doesn't care if he is rubbed or not, because this thing is basically unsolvable.

Once the scolding war is started, as long as Tencent thinks about it, it can use the water army to fight each other. Once the passer-by players are provoked, they will spontaneously join the battlefield, causing the situation to intensify.

At this time, no matter what Tianshu Company said, it would add fuel to the fire.

"Boss, I see that many people are speaking for Tencent." Yan Chijiu whispered beside him.

"It's okay." Xu Xing shook his head and put away his mobile phone, "It's just rubbing traffic with each other, it's not a bad thing for us."

At the download level of Fruit Assassin, it is basically impossible to be shaken as long as the subsequent version update and operation do not cause problems.

Tencent's trick is disgusting and disgusting, and then relying on three games to fight guerrillas, it can barely take a little market share for him.

This is the disgusting thing about Tencent. It can make all kinds of competing products to compete in the ring. If the Fruit Assassin has fully grown up, the development speed far exceeds Tencent's expectations.

Otherwise, it is really possible to be defeated by these three games.

but……

Xu Xing's vision is no longer limited to Fruit Assassins, but has already begun to plan for parkour games in advance.

Since you like to make similar competing products, then I will directly occupy all subdivided tracks with four different types of parkour mobile games. Xu Xing wants to see if Tencent will follow suit.

"I don't think about it for now." Xu Xing patted Yan Chijiu's head, then asked with a smile, "Have you ever been on a plane?"

"I sat down once when I was a child, but I don't have much impression of it anymore." Yan Chijiu had used the pretext of asking the question just now, and unknowingly sat next to Xu Xing, "Boss, how about you?"

"I've never been on a plane, you have to keep an eye on me later, or I'll get lost."

"Ah?" Yan Chijiu immediately became nervous when he heard this, "Then, what should I do? I don't even know how to board the plane."

"You're too easy to deceive." Xu Xing rubbed Yan Chijiu's hair, and said with a broken smile, "Don't wander around when you go to the capital, I'm afraid you will be abducted by others."

"No way..." Yan Chijiu said in a low voice.

How could she run around?

Obviously no matter how you run, you can't escape the palm of the boss.
