Chapter 308: Chen Yifan

The second generation of Guoke's mobile phone, that is, Guoke 1S was released before Christmas, and this naming method at least makes it necessary to learn Guoke when Apple's third-generation mobile phone is released next year, and now the hardware and software adaptation are almost complete. The hardware configuration is definitely higher than Apple's, IFi, GPS will not be less. As for the price, the Shell phone is still not as strong as Apple, and Verizon is also better than AT&T amp; T wants to be awesome, the result is that even if it is a contract machine, the pricing of the second generation of Guoke is higher than that of Apple's contract machine, at this time, the Apple contract machine 8G version is $199, and the 16G version is $299. The price reduction of the Guoke Generation is consistent with that of Apple's second-generation contract machine, and the Guoke second-generation remains the same as the previous generation when it was launched, at $399 for the 8G version and $499 for the 4G version. As for the price of the operator's cooperative version, it is basically the same as Apple's, but the same sales of a mobile phone, the profit of Guoke is much less than Apple's. However, this time, the shell mobile phone, which has created miracles abroad, will also be listed in China at the same time, and the partners of choice are China Mobile and Unicom.

Guoke Android has built-in UC browser, MM (friend network instant messenger, similar to Facebook Message), Twitter, Time Music (or established an independent legal entity to operate Time Music), Time Wallet, Google Maps, etc.

Zhou Shi also arranged two killer features, that is, the game, and originally wanted to arrange fruit warriors, but the effect of the display screen was not perfect enough. Zhou Shi had to arrange for the development of Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds first.

"Have you completed the development of those two mobile games?" Zhou Shi asked Chen Yifan

"We've completed the development here, but we haven't finished the final adaptation yet. Chen Yifan said unhurriedly.

"Let me see the results. "Zhou Shi is still familiar with these games, and it is still possible to compare the quality with the games in his memory.

"Okay!" Chen Yifan took Zhou Shi to a computer and turned on the simulator.

The first thing that catches my eye is a familiar and unfamiliar image, MD, the same bird, a pig, why is there such a big difference?Why does a sunflower look like this, is this still a zombie and a zombie? But after some operation, Zhou Shi still experienced a long-lost sense of familiarity, and there is not much difference in operation. In two words, simple and fun!

"Yes, good. Zhou Shi praised

"Mr. Zhou, do we want to develop an IOS version of these mobile games and put them on the Apple App Store?" Chen Yifan

"Yes, but it's behind Guoke in terms of time, and in addition, we can get more advertising recommendations and billing periods from IPhone!" Zhou Shi did not hesitate about these, Time Game and Guoke are two companies after all, and the support is big enough now. This is also the development stage of Guoke mobile phone, Zhou Shi will arrange time to give such a big support, and there is definitely no need to think about such free treatment in the future, everything must be according to the laws of the market.

Zhou Shi doesn't know if the plan to use games to promote mobile phone sales can be realized, but even if it is feasible, it is only in this year, the later development of the iPhone has made excellent games emerge in an endless stream, and the appeal of the iPhone is far greater than that of several games.

After inspecting other departments of the company, such as the development of League of Legends, Zhou Shi was much more relieved of Chen Yifan's ability.

"By the way, how about the popularity of CF in the European and American markets?Is it possible to participate in the CF Hundred Cities League next year?" Zhou Shi asked, only regions that have reached a certain user scale will be eligible to participate in the Hundred Cities League, otherwise, when the finals, the expenditure of Time Games will be very large. Arranging food and accommodation for hundreds of cities, hundreds of teams and thousands of people is really not a small expense, the key is that the organizers need to pay attention to all kinds of details, in case someone falls ill or has other accidents during the competition, it may be difficult to hold such an event in the future.

The final of CF was placed in Yanjing during the winter vacation and Spring Festival, and in addition to games, you can travel by the way. So far, 15,000 teams have participated in the competition, and more than 150,000 people have signed up. It can be said that it is in full swing, and it is in full swing in China.

"Plain, there aren't too many advantages. So far, the number of participating gamers is less than 10 million, the game retention rate is less than 20%, and the monthly active users are about 2 million. "Chen Yifan

MD, it's really not a many, there are more than 100 million registered CF users in China, 80 million monthly active users, almost all Internet cafes in the country are equipped with CF, and the market in Europe and the United States is really ......

"Is our CF version in Europe and the United States the same as the domestic version?"

"Yes, we mainly did some translation adaptations. "Chen Yifan

"Do you know the reason for the success of CF in China?" Zhou Shi asked Chen, without waiting for him to answer, Zhou Shi continued: "During the development process of CF, we continue to collect players' opinions and make changes to the content of the game, and you can carry out secondary development of the game on the basis of CF, even if it is for the balance of the game, you can push it all over again." Or we can set the domestic version as a game mode, and we develop another game that focuses on balance and widens the gap between the high and low hands. I believe that our self-developed FPS games will also have a market overseas. "Zhou Shi

"Do you agree that we can carry out secondary development?" Chen Yifan

"Or it can be said that the game is localized and improved, the cultural background of the domestic and European and American markets is different, and this is a game for the purpose of making money, as long as it can make money, there is nothing that cannot be changed. "Zhou Shi

"Then I'll arrange manpower," Chen Yifan

"You also have to pay attention to the communication with the country, and if there is a global league in the future, how to ensure the balance of the game. "Zhou Shi

"I will pay attention to all this, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!" Chen Yifan said confidently

The fact that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was able to become popular again a few years later proves that the market for FPS games has always been huge, and there's no reason why the free-to-play version of CF improved for the European and American markets should not be successful, right?

"When will the European and American versions of DNF be launched?" Zhou Shi then asked, with the help of three huge traffic centers such as Friends.com, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as BDM (Big Data Marketing Company), which has many public accounts and fans, the game platform is also impacting Steam's market position.

"It's coming soon, we expect to be available around November 8th. It's been a while since the promotion and the feedback received is not bad. "Chen Yifan

"Make full use of social platforms such as friends, pay attention to communication with users, and make necessary improvements to the European and American versions if there is a need for improvement. "Zhou Shi

"I'm afraid that ...... is not allowed in China," Chen Yifan

"I'll communicate with them. "Zhou Shi, the control of the game is indeed a sensitive topic, if the American company has too much power and too much autonomy, the domestic parent company will have less control over him, and it is likely to be out of the management of the parent company, but the autonomy is too low, which is very detrimental to the development of the company. The reason why there is no success of European and American Internet companies in China, in addition to domestic restrictions, is that the rights of Huaxia Branch are not enough, and the head office needs to approve to buy a little office supplies.

"With your support, I will definitely be able to build on the existing foundation!" Chen Yifan said with a swear.

"I believe you ......" Zhou Shi, delegating power will also be receiving, and Chen Yifan's influence in finance and personnel will inevitably be weakened by him.
