Don’t be a licking dog when you are reborn.

Chapter 242: The True Purpose of Monsoon (Thanks to the leader [丶书瘾] for the 2-in-1 reward)

Tilting his head, Ji Feng glanced at the warm division, Bronze 2.

"Very bad, what's the level of the opponent?"

"His rank is higher than mine, Silver 5, but he has a lot of orange cards." Wen Nuan blinked, looking like I was stupid and naive.

Ji Feng was speechless. He understood that the academic genius was bullying the weakling again.

In his own game, he did not use any star-level system, but continued to use the traditional bronze, silver and gold grading system.

But just like previous Hearthstones, it won’t drop once you reach Legend.

According to the server opening time, it is impossible to reach silver level at this time.

So the opponent must be the confident young man who clicked [I am a great player]. This is a button that Ji Feng deliberately left. If you press it now, you will reach the highest score in the game.

This is Ji Feng's bad taste. He wants these ignorant masters to understand the strength of the top players.

The game of Hearthstone does not require much operation but more brains. A smart kid like Wen Nuan, who has a certain familiarity and understanding of the mechanism, can naturally defeat his opponents.

"Aren't you bullying honest people?"

"He has already chosen [I am a great god], how can he be an honest person?"

Wen Nuan stretched her body, clenched her fists, curled her toes, and stretched lazily.

The bright look appeared in front of Ji Feng's eyes, and the graceful curves made Boss Ji linger.

I couldn't help it and touched it.

Well, touch it again.

Uh... my hand was caught!
Wen Nuan pressed Ji Feng's dishonest hands under her body and started talking about business:

"Ji Feng, Lu Quan just said that the server may need to be expanded. The popularity of Hearthstone is growing faster than we expected. With more players, the server pressure will be greater."

When Ji Feng heard Wen Nuan mention the server, he felt a headache.

With Jiang Chaoyang's investment, the pressure on R&D funds is basically gone, so Brother Chaoyang, as an investor, is really like a reborn parent.

But that is only in the R&D aspect, there is still pressure in other areas.

For example, office buildings, data centers, personnel security systems, etc.

Small companies don't have these things, but big companies do.

Zhijian is now developing into a large company, not a very small company, so it needs to have some things. It needs to give employees a sense of security and confidence, and also ensure the safety of its own data.

"He sent you a message so early in the morning? Did he not sleep again? No, he hasn't slept for several days? He's still thinking about the server. Isn't he afraid of sudden death?"

It can be seen that every time Lu Quan reported something, Ji Feng became a little anxious.

"Monsoon...don't be impatient!"

"I'm not in a hurry, just continue." Ji Feng denied it on the spot.

"He didn't sleep for a reason, mainly because he wanted to watch Hearthstone run for a while to see if there were any bugs.

Fortunately, the operation process is very stable, there are no serious bugs, and there is no crash. He should go to bed now."

Ji Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Lu Quan had gone to sleep:

"I'm so proud of myself. Tell Lu Quan to take a few days off, wash his feet, and find a few more girls. I'll reimburse him."

Obviously, the official launch of "Hearthstone" made Boss Ji in a good mood, and he arranged all the games on the spot.

But Wen Nuan frowned when she heard it:

"What boss would advise people to wash their feet?"

"Yes, I, hey? Wen Xiaonuan, why did you hit someone?"

“Washing feet is not a good thing.”

"The technicians in the company are all stay-at-home guys. Asking them to wash feet is to help them get rid of their fantasies about women and recognize themselves. Am I not a good person?"

Listening to Ji Feng's nonsense, Wen Nuan was a little unhappy.

She bit her lip and suddenly rode on Ji Feng, holding down Ji Feng's hand and pressing him on the bed.

“Monsoon, if you feel tired of me in the future, will you go wash my feet?”

Ji Feng was stunned. In fact, he had gone to wash feet before, once with Xu Ming and others, and once for a team building with Wen Nuan Company.

Of course, both times I went to wash my feet.

But if you put yourself in her shoes, if a wife knows that her husband is washing his feet and she is instructing others to wash their feet, she will definitely be very uneasy.

Coupled with Wen Xiaonuan's personality, there is a high probability that she will start to have wild thoughts.

The issue is……

"If you really like it, how can you get tired of it?"

"Liking you now doesn't mean I'll like you in the future. I'll get old eventually..." The warm voice was a little low.

"Warmth, I like simple things, clean things, clear feelings, and you."

"Ok?"

Ji Feng laughed and touched her hair lovingly:

"Let's not talk about my feelings for you, my personal rationality, and cognitive problems. Let's just talk about yourself, Wen Nuan. You're not a child anymore. How can you not have any confidence in yourself at such a age?"

Wen Nuan was originally very happy to hear this, but when she thought about it...

wrong!

She felt that Ji Feng's words "You are not young anymore, you are that old" were ambiguous.

It didn't feel like it was describing age, but rather a description of rabbit, but she had no evidence and it was difficult to refute it.

Well, it doesn’t matter!

"So, Monsoon isn't going, is he?"

"correct."

"Okay, let me put it this way. If I find out you go, I will..." Wen Nuan suddenly became fierce.

"What do you do?"

Seeing Wen Nuan like this, Ji Feng actually felt a little expectant and continued to tease her.

However, although Wen Nuan felt aggrieved, she still lay down.

"Then I will sleep in your bed, steal your quilt, spend your dumplings, and beat your children!"

Monsoon: ? ? !
So, does Wen Nuan mean that even if I make a mistake, she will forgive me?

Ji Feng suddenly felt that his bad taste was not very good. His warm love was so obvious, just like the sunshine, firm and resolute, warm and burning.

In this world, only true love cannot be let down.

"Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to hit my child."

Wen Nuan raised her eyes, then slowly curved her eyebrows. She certainly knew what Ji Feng meant.

He won't wash his feet anymore.

And his children are naturally their children!
"it is good!"

Wen Nuan lay on Ji Feng very contentedly. Although it was oppressive, it was also comfortable.

Ji Feng hugged Wen Nuan, looked at the ceiling, lost in thought.

As a company develops, its size will inevitably expand.

With the increase in the number of employees, the difficulty of management will gradually increase. Moreover, the business of Zhijian’s company is not just games, and he also has a large number of idle people.

Of course, these idle people all have very good talents, but there is no suitable platform for them to display their talents. Ji Feng has also signed long-term contracts with these people and has no intention of letting them go.

Therefore, these "talented" people have become idlers in Fingertip Company.

However, the talents in this world are different. Some are academic geniuses, some are gaming geniuses, and some are born with the ability to live broadcast.

These people are Monsoon's talent reserve. Although it may seem stupid to keep them now, everything is necessary.

Well, these are all preparations for the future!
After "Three Kingdoms" and "Hearthstone", the next step is "Onmyoji".

Although the first two are rich in content, highly playable, and more durable, when it comes to the speed of making money, they are really not good enough and cannot catch up with Onmyoji even if they try their best.

But all he did was just a disguise and a way to accumulate funds. Even "Onmyoji" itself was just a cover.

Games are just about making money.

The pace of the future at your fingertips will never stop.

He needs more than just a tool to make money, he also needs weapons...

A truly powerful weapon.

After calming down, Ji Feng looked at Wen Nuan who was standing beside him:

"Sleep a little longer, get busy when you wake up, and think about the data center in the afternoon!"

“Are you planning to build your own data center?”

"I have this idea, but I still have to see how much the Hearthstone revenue is before making a decision."

"it is good."

……

During the National Day holiday, some people are busy while others are relaxing.

Obviously, Monsoon and Wen Nuan are among the busy ones.

After taking a short rest in their own nest, the two began to work without stopping.

It’s hard to say about data centers.

It is very stressful for small companies to build their own data centers.

Even according to the previous timeline, a strong company like Rice Mill only started building its own data center after it reached a certain scale.

In the early days, the rice mill had always used the Mybird Factory server. As the amount of data increased, it was later switched to the Alibaba server.

Later, because the amount of data was too large and the server stability and security requirements exceeded the external cost, they built their own data center.

In fact, it is a bit early for us to build our own data center at our fingertips today, and the cost pressure is really huge.

But Ji Feng thought that as the company's business content develops, the outdated data centers and servers can be used. He can transfer them, and there is no particular waste.

Therefore, after some discussion between Ji Feng and Lu Quan, the construction of the company's data center was put on the agenda.

This is another huge expense.

But now my fingertips can already afford this expense on their own.

During the National Day holiday, the popularity of Hearthstone quietly grew.

In the early morning of the next day, the overseas version of "Hearthstone" was officially launched.

Jifeng has no intention of building its own platform. The PC version is directly launched on STM, and the mobile version is also connected to various application manufacturers.

Channel fees should be collected, and the profits should be divided among the members. Jifeng has a completely indifferent attitude towards it.

Because the overseas version of Hearthstone is more expensive than the domestic version.

And it’s much, much more expensive.

The price of 40 packs in China is 49 RMB, but the price in the international area is 14.9 dollars.

The exchange rate in 13 was around 6.3, so although the commission seems to be very high, it actually does not affect Monsoon's profitability at all.

Most of the costs were transferred to the players, and he didn't make a penny less.

Don't want to spend money? You can also do the tasks, 3 pack for 1 days, and you will get it for free if you win.

I'm so close to ordinary players, if you're still not convinced, there's nothing I can do.

Fingertip games are like this, and playing imported games is like buying imported cars, there must be some premium, right?

As for international public opinion?

He doesn't live abroad, so why does he care about international public opinion?

In China, if you make money from foreigners, wouldn’t you be a hero?

Haven’t you seen the big guys on the forum, they have already started to curse and praise at the same time?
[Zhijian is a beast, give me back my hard-earned money. ]

[Fingertips is now available overseas? Great, let’s have a blast tonight! 】

If there are some shady ways of making money from foreigners and bringing it back to China, then it really doesn't make sense.

It’s just that the release of the international version of Hearthstone has made Snow Factory a little nervous, after all, they also have a version of Hearthstone...

The girl version of "Hearthstone" was directly launched on Zhijian, catching the Snow Factory off guard.

The way Monsoon does business is the standard way Chinese people do things.

He has already lowered his attitude by using courtesy before force, and is sincerely looking forward to cooperating with the snow factory.

Zhijian had contacted them before, and he hoped to use the World of Warcraft IP for joint development, not only "Hearthstone" but also other types of game development.

The proposal was rejected on the spot.

OK, no problem. If one plan doesn’t work, I have a second plan.

Ji Feng proposed to purchase the copyright of the card game based on the World of Warcraft IP at a high price, and only wanted the right to use it, with the only requirement being a buyout.

But this plan was rejected again, and the other party demanded copyright sharing and continued payment.

Okay, okay, then let’s talk about the market!
The arrogance of the snow factory is almost famous in the industry and is well-known.

At that time, Snow Factory clearly had the WAR3 map editor in its hands, and all it needed to do was open a creative workshop and share the copyright.

Dota and League of Legends are both his, but the arrogant Snow Factory is unwilling to do so and even declared that everything edited for WAR3 belongs to Snow Factory.

Then what did they do?
They forced out a number of self-written bosses and established one company after another that took off.

The tower defense game took off, the Dota game took off, the League of Legends game took off, and the guard map game took off. It can be said that the stupidity of Snow Factory is astonishing, and it will even continue to be stupid for more than ten years.

However, Hearthstone was snatched away by Fingertip, which was a blow to the Snow Factory. What should we do now? There is no solution.

Pack up your things, change the name of your own "Hearthstone", and go online to make money. For example, change it to "Heroes of Warcraft"?
Although I hate Hearthstone, which was released first by Fingertips, this is all I can do.

……

While their fingertips were busy, major friendly companies also received their own trial reviews of Hearthstone.

Content: S
Potential: A
Revenue: S
A long game analysis report is certainly not just a few simple letters, but very systematic content.

But these three things are what major manufacturers care about most.

When Zhang Mingzhong went to our bird factory to report, he was still very attentive. In this line of work, reputation is very important.

Even if you no longer work in my factory in the future and want to change jobs, word of mouth will be a stepping stone to change companies.

Loyalty is not a question, but if you are paid to do a job, you have to do it well.

After submitting the manuscript, Zhang Mingzhong began to retell his own review:
"Mr. Wang, I personally think that Hearthstone on your fingertips is an excellent work with the potential to be a hit. The competitiveness, randomness, and entertainment of the content are all very good.

The points for spending money are not based on numbers at all, which gives ordinary players a lot of room to play.

In terms of the experience of players who spend money, their approach is similar to the previous "Three Kingdoms Kill", using special skins and CG special effects to bring a different experience to players who spend money.

I tested the killing effects of the original skin and the legendary skin, and I can only say that the gaming pleasure is completely on a different level.

They are really good at the concept of "cool".

And, after playing several fingertip games, I discovered a commonality among them.

That is to retain the entertainment and fairness for ordinary players while greatly widening the gap between the additional experience of ordinary players and kryptonians. Their krypton points are things outside the game content.

It makes you feel awesome, but it doesn’t affect the essence of the game, they…”

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Zhang Mingzhong's report was interrupted by the other party, he just lowered his head and said nothing.

As a veteran player, he feels the loss of game players more deeply than ordinary players.

At Bird Factory, every game has KPI indicators.

Under normal circumstances, such KPI indicators are difficult to achieve and you have to force money. How to force it?
The easiest way is to sell the value directly.

However, as the numbers of players who spend money go up, the experience of ordinary players is basically gone. Without the experience, ordinary players will naturally quit.

Many people have quit the game, and since the big spenders can’t beat the losers, the big spenders can only beat the big spenders.

The big spender beat the small spender to death, and the small spender also quit.

Reciprocating cycle.

After a long time, only big spenders were left in the game, then no one played it, and eventually it went bankrupt.

Therefore, selling numbers has always been a thirst-quenching behavior in the gaming industry, and even if you know it, you have to do it, after all, the KPI is there.

It is impossible for a company to cover everything once it is big.

As for KPI, at least it can guarantee revenue.

The specific operational strategies are the responsibility of the people below. The company is too big for the people above to take care of it all.

In fact, this was not the first time that Zhang Mingzhong had raised concerns about our bird factory, but unsurprisingly, he was interrupted again.

Zhang Mingzhong was not angry either.

Anyway, he just needs to do his job well. After all, he is just a professional tester.

Whether our bird factory should continue with research and development or simply withdraw and let Fingertip continue to develop is not something he can decide.

In fact, he already had a vague feeling in his heart that after the release of Hearthstone on Fingertips, our bird factory could no longer suppress the development of Fingertips Games.

And even if my bird factory continues to follow up, and he copies every one that Fingertip releases, there is no way to restrict Fingertip.

At present, the game "Hero Killer" which plagiarized "Three Kingdoms Killer" produced by our bird factory has not been released yet.

The higher quality "Hearthstone" has already been released, so do you need to raise funds and manpower to make another "Hearthfire"?
He had already played "Hero Killer" and gave it a pretty good review in the end.

But is it really that good?
He said that because he took money from my factory, but in reality it was just a piece of shit, something that was rushed out, and it was completely shoddy.

I also learned to use my fingertips to create some famous CG scenes, but how can a makeshift team compare with others' carefully prepared productions?

These domestic game manufacturers have been making too much money in recent years.

There is no competition from other big manufacturers.

As a result, after Zhijian released several high-quality games, it directly defeated its competitors.

Zhang Mingzhong shook his head secretly. He also knew that the leader would not listen to the opinions of a small person like him.

Moreover, regardless of whether our factory’s strategy is right or wrong, at least they made money.

Maybe our bird factory didn’t do well in terms of players and reputation, but when it comes to making money, they have always been impeccable.

Just as a veteran gamer, Zhang Mingzhong expressed concerns about his current employer.

If my bird factory continues like this, he will most likely lose his job.

It’s not that our company is going to go bankrupt, it’s just that our games no longer need professional reviews.

"Either take this opportunity to go to the pig farm and ask? Or, fingertips?"

Zhang Mingzhong is not sure whether Zhijian has any plans to recruit people to try out the game.

Before each of their games is released, there seems to be no professional reviews leaked, and each time is kept very mysterious.

He was not sure whether outsiders would be recruited.

"Forget it, let's go to the Magic City first, just treat it as a trip..."

……

October, late autumn, passed by in a flash.

While Monsoon was busy spending money to build its own data center, other manufacturers were waiting quietly.

They are waiting for the Hearthstone revenue data to be released by Fingertips.

This is a very important data and the only public data besides the annual report.

Finally, on November 11, Fingertip Future announced the revenue data for Hearthstone’s first month online.

Hearthstone's monthly domestic revenue reached 3500 million, and its overseas revenue reached 900 million.

In other words, Fingertip Future has achieved a monthly revenue of nearly 100 million yuan relying solely on the game Hearthstone.

Of course, the first month is generally the highest. There will probably be activities later on that will result in higher revenue than the first month, but this revenue alone is scary enough.

With a monthly turnover of 9000 million, wouldn’t your annual turnover be 10 billion?
After leaving aside the server costs, operating costs, and profit sharing costs, the 10 billion in turnover will still leave a lot of money.

With this kind of revenue scale, it can no longer be considered a small company!

Fingertips, what are you doing?
Several leaders of the game department of our bird factory were staring at the announcement on their fingertips.

Their expressions vary, but they can be summarized briefly.

That's worse than eating shit...

There are many different opinions on the Internet about the release of Hearthstone's revenue data.

[Damn it, can you please stop making money? You guys have made all the money from the card game with your fingertips! ]

[Hurry up and delete the post. If my bird factory sees it, he will steal the little pearl, right? ]

[Indeed, seeing you make money is probably more painful than them losing money. ]

[I advise Zhijian not to be so high-profile. If you continue to be so high-profile, Hearthfire will be released soon.]

Netizens are making fun of it, but some people are stabbed because it is the truth.

The gaming circle is like this. There are only so many players. If they play your game, I will abandon mine.

That’s why seeing others making money is even more painful than losing money yourself.

And after such a financial report came out, fingertip games instantly became a hot commodity.

Some gaming forums have already begun to tout the Fingertips.

[In this era, the best game manufacturers are at your fingertips for the future! ]

[In the East, in the Magic City, a new star is rising. ]

【Who said there are no Internet giants in Shanghai? 】

However, Fingertip Company was very indifferent to the praise from the circle. To them, all this was actually what they deserved.

The morning of November 11th.

After the first month's data is released, new work will begin.

Ji Feng arranged the company's affairs and came to the Magic City Airport with Dou Ding and Mu Wanqiu.

Originally, Ji Feng planned to go alone, but later, for unknown reasons, more people came.

After Mu Wanqiu received the news from Jiang Chaoyang, she actually proposed to go together. The reason was that she had to go to her hometown for business, she also knew people in the capital, and she was also an investor, so she should go to such business gatherings.

When President Wen knew that Mu Wanqiu was going, he frowned on the spot.

Now that Zhijian's family is wealthy and powerful, Ji Feng is just on a business trip, so there is no need for her to follow him.

But when Mu Wanqiu went with Ji Feng, her brows still twitched.

She could trust Ji Feng, but she didn't trust anyone else. What if Ji Feng was drugged?
Boys must learn to protect themselves when they go out.

and so……

"Dou Ding, protect your elder brother well this time when you go out." Wen Nuan's eyes were a little sharp.

Dou Ding was a little scared by this look, and he nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, no one can get close to my brother."

"Okay, say goodbye to your girlfriend."

Dou Ding nodded seriously, then touched Liu Chengcheng's head.

"It's okay, we'll be back soon, sweetheart."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Liu Chengcheng and Dou Ding are now in their honeymoon period. They must be very reluctant to go on a business trip.

As the plane wasn't due for departure for quite some time yet, the two of them were hugging and kissing each other at the ticket gate, looking so affectionate.

Ji Feng and Wen Nuan looked at them showing their affection with eager eyes, and the corners of their mouths twitched a few times.

"them……"

"I want that too." Wen Nuan, who was wearing a purple dress, suddenly spoke.

Monsoon:? ? ?
This request made Ji Feng stunned, but looking at the warmth in front of him, he couldn't refuse.

After all, it's like someone said.

Purple is very charming.

And his girlfriend is warmer and more charming.

They kissed deeply.

Mu Wanqiu, who was standing by, felt her scalp tingling. When people went out, they all said goodbye in pairs, but she, a single dog, was eating so much dog food here. She was really fed up.

This time the kiss lasted for a long time, and unlike the passive kiss in the past, today Wen Xiaonuan took the initiative to attack and pried open Ji Feng's mouth.

As their breathing became heavier, both of them became a little carried away.

It took a long time for warmth and monsoon to let go of each other.

Ji Feng touched his lips:
"My mouth is numb..."

The girl smiled faintly. She did it on purpose because Ji Feng was hers and no one was allowed to snatch it away from her!
"I haven't been able to kiss for a few days, so today is just an advance payment to make up for it."

Ji Feng had no choice but to touch the girl's hair:
"There's no need to make such a big fuss."

“Society is dangerous, I think it is necessary.”

Boss Ji was a little helpless, but he also knew that Mu Wanqiu's sudden decision to go with him still put some pressure on Wen Nuan.

"Don't worry, we're going to the capital this time just to apply for a few special business licenses and an online business license. There shouldn't be any problem."

"Which licenses are they? You need to apply for them in person."

Wen Nuan still asked the question in her mind, because Ji Feng's action this time was very sudden.

While he was making the game, Onmyoji hasn't even been launched yet, but he suddenly had to go to BJ to apply for a license. How strange!
Normally she wouldn't ask about Ji Feng's thoughts, but today she was really curious.

Mentioning this, Ji Feng sighed helplessly.

If it had been a few years later, these licenses would have been easily obtained, but now it is the end of 13.

It takes some effort to get a license.

This is also the reason why he asked Jiang Chaoyang to wait for him in the imperial capital.

Ji Feng picked Wen Nuan up again. It seemed like a reluctant hug, but in fact, he was whispering in Wen Nuan's ear:

“Three in total.

The first is a value-added telecommunications business license.

The second is the Internet culture operation license.

The third is the radio and television program production and operation license.

Keep this matter secret!"

　Thanks to [丶书瘾] for the reward. I will slowly repay you for the extra words!

　　I will finish my 200 words today!
