After the release of the second generation of Wanhu mobile phones in North America, it was once an island that could be called a technology. Just like the fact that isolated Australia was able to develop kangaroos and other species that only Australia can have, a lot has changed.

Countless people are eagerly waiting for the release of the second generation of 10,000 mobile phones in this book, which is very surprising.

You know, nothing like this has ever happened before.

Even like Sony's products blow the earth-shattering sound, there are not many cases of queuing up to buy them on the day of release.

At this moment, Takahashi is in the book, but there is no press conference, but in the Wanhu Game Research Institute.

"Recently I've noticed a very bad trend, a lot of our people don't think of free players as players. I am particularly sympathetic to this phenomenon.

Probably many people think that free players are just a resource-consuming user who doesn't generate value for us.

But I want to emphasize here that this is not the case, and free players are also a very important group of users.

Please remember that free players are, in a sense, the product that we offer to those who pay to show that they are the best way to distinguish themselves and gain a sense of superiority.

For example, we recently launched a music membership on our music service on 10,000 mobile phones.

Users who have charged money will have their username red when leaving a message, and they can listen to more high-definition music. Do you think these users feel different?

Will they have a sense of superiority in the face of ordinary users with only black names?

Obviously, our music service, if we want to negotiate music at the lowest price, we need to use our huge user base as the basis, so every user is very important to us.

In the same way, most of our current mobile games and mobile apps are based on this model of free experience plus value-added services.

For free-to-play games, these non-paying players are not 'props' that allow paying players to gain a sense of superiority, but form an important part of the entire game ecosystem.

Now, many of us hold this false and short-sighted view.

We always need to remember that there is no clear distinction between paying and free players.

Everything is changing in time, and the earth can still be changed, so why can't free-to-play players become paid players?

However, we have been working on the game lately, and I found that we have a mistake.

Many of us are now punishing the majority of free-to-play players with punitive measures.

If you don't pay for it, you can't do this, you can't do that.

Not even a basic gaming experience, not even saying that they are playing the game, but the game is playing them. They became slaves to the game.

Perhaps, in a game they can still live with.

But all games are like this, can they still tolerate it?

Just like "Plants vs. Zombies", which I led recently, if all players don't pay, they can't clear the level at all, and each level needs to pay at least 100 yen to pass.

It costs tens of thousands of yen to clear the game, do you think there will be so many people playing Plants vs. Zombies?

Would anyone buy stuffed dolls like sunflowers, pea shooters, keychains, juicy gummies, and so on?

It's important to remember that the way we make money isn't just video games.

We have many ways to make money, and fishing in the dry water seems to me to be the most stupid thing to do.

Okay, I'm done, let's think about it. ”

After Takahashi finished speaking, he stepped off the podium.

The reason why he said so loudly was very simple, it was because of Wan Hu said that he had fallen astray.

They are trying to dry up and drain every penny out of the pockets of all users.

And this approach, in addition to causing disgust among players, Takahashi does not think that these players can be happy.

Ten thousand households are not inferior to that little extra income, what ten thousand households need now is word-of-mouth, is the number of users.

Of course, for ordinary employees, it may be that performance is more important.

For ordinary employees, the higher the revenue, the higher the bonus.

So before he came, before he finished speaking, there was no intention to blame these employees.

Abuse without teaching.

I didn't even tell them what they needed to do, and I said that they had done something wrong and wanted to kill their heads, which was so unreasonable.

Of course, Takahashi came for more than that.

He waited for everyone to finish discussing, and then came to the stage again and said, "I think our research institute is very powerful, so I plan to let you develop some games and applications for the second generation of Wanhu in this version." I hope you don't let me down.

If there are enough downloads and enough users, then the bonus will be very generous. ”

Under the applause of many employees, Takahashi stepped off the podium again.

This time he did not stay any longer, but rushed directly to the airport to return to China.

He is now promoting the popularization of the next generation of mobile communication technology.

However, this is a long and costly process.

And after the network meets the requirements, Takahashi will implement the technology he has already prepared on the next generation of mobile phones, that is, artificial intelligence voice assistants.

Of course, it sounds cool to use your voice to control the phone and let it do the corresponding functions, but it's still a bit silly to use.

However, this represents that Wanhu has reached a new level in the field of practical technology.

Not to mention anything else, with voice recognition technology, Wanhu can use the microphone of the mobile phone to identify the user's conversation and provide accurate product push, so as to maximize profits.

Of course, it's best not to let the user feel it.

What does it mean that users feel?

It shows that the technology is not advanced enough.

Although it is said that everyone has a personal will, who said at that time that the individual will will not be unaffected and absolutely independent?

At least, here in Takahashi, independence does not exist.

Of course, this is not a black technology.

If in addition to virtual reality, Takahashi's most emphasized black technology is probably memory metal.

This memory metal is very different from the memory metal used to make glasses frames.

The field in which it is to be applied is not anywhere else, but 10,000 mobile phones.

It will make small changes to the shape of the phone according to the different hand sizes of each person, and then make the user have a more pleasant haptic experience.

And this pleasure will make people relax and be wary of mobile phones.

Even, if you don't touch your phone for a day, you will feel uncomfortable.

And this kind of tactile design, before the advent of smartphones, was not overemphasized by manufacturers.

Because other devices do not need to be in contact with the most sensitive tactile area of the human sense of touch for a long time, the hand.
