Chapter 680: Ah Hu's Counterattack (Medium)
Gphone is an epoch-making smartphone, and Ah Hu, who has a little money, bought the first batch of goods in the Celestial Empire.
This is probably the most valuable thing Ah Hu has bought in his life.
Because by using Gphone, Ah Hu found that developing Gstore's app is a very promising thing.
In particular, when the Guanghui mobile phone was listed on Gphone, it was announced that the source code and interface could be disclosed to developers.
This opens the door to the development of apps for Gphone.
When the news of the big sales of various products of Guanghui Games on Gstore came back to the Celestial Empire, it immediately determined that Ah Hu abandoned the increasingly frivolous plug-in business and began to develop Gphone-based apps.
In March 2007, Ah Hu, who was already in the second half of his senior year, relied on his experience in developing plug-ins, although he got some offers, but he never signed a contract with any company.
And the other students in the class who have a good relationship with Ah Hu generally find jobs of 2,000 to 4,000 yuan.
In 2007, although the IT industry was also a hot industry, there was still a big gap between it and the boom ten years later, especially the salary.
Ah Hu has the heart to set up a studio on his own and develop his own games.
There are hundreds of thousands of dollars earned in the past few years, which is enough to toss for a while.
As soon as he said it, Ah Hu persuaded the other four students in the class to join his "Tiger Studio" and began the development process of mobile games.
This should be the first real mobile game developers in the Celestial Empire.
To paraphrase, "Standing on the tuyere, you can fly even if you are a pig".
Gphone, which has just been on the market for a short time, and the apos sold by Gstore are almost all products of the Korn Ferry Group.
And the most popular game app is even more monopolized by Guanghui Games.
Although the works of Guanghui Games are very good, after all, the total number is only a few, and in the emerging industry of mobile games, it is far from saturated, enough for "Tiger Studio" to break through in it.
After a few days of discussion, "Tiger Studio" decided on the development direction, and then the five of them worked almost day and night to develop the game within two months.
This is a mobile game similar to the later "Temple Run", and the name is very coincidentally called "Escape from the Temple".
It's a heart-pounding fun parkour game, but this time it's not a race car, it's a bunch of monsters, and yourself.
The first benefit of "Tiger Studio" is a Gphone per person.
Ah Hu led a few friends to fully analyze the characteristics of Gphone, making the operation of the game "Escape from the Temple" very simple and easy to understand.
Of course, it also draws on a lot of advanced experience from Glorious Games.
The game can be played with just one hand, swiping and wiggling your phone to control your character, as well as swiping to control turns, jumps, and slides before turns, branches, and road breaks, and collect monument fragments along the way.
A run through the temple takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, making it easy to get into the game and set a game record, while also surpassing your friends' score records for an addictive gaming experience.
At the same time, in order to improve the playability of the game. Escape from the Temple also has some useful tools, such as the resurrection tool, which can be activated immediately after death.
Another example is the invincible state of running 1000 meters quickly, which can cross any obstacles and traps and automatically steering, and the more powerful running props, which can quickly run 2500 meters and cross any obstacles and traps, which can increase the game points and speed up the game.
"Escape from the Temple" was launched in May, and it attracted countless European and American users.
In order to open up the market, "Tiger Studios" priced "Escape from the Temple" on Gstore for $0.99.
It just so happened that May was the month when the production of Guanghui mobile phones began, with nearly two million new Gphone users added to the world every month, plus nearly 10 million users before.
Tiger Studios made more than $500,000 in profits in May.
This is still deducting the commission of 30% of the Guanghui mobile phone, and considering that the game will only be launched in mid-May, otherwise, it will not be a problem to break through $1 million.
Over the next few months, the people at Tiger Studios were busy maintaining the game, renting servers, and continuing to expand the number of servers rental.
Ah Hu, who made a lot of money, also happily gave each member a bonus of 500,000 yuan.
The fame of "Tiger Studios" also quickly spread in the gaming world.
With money in hand, Ah Hu began to think about improving his living conditions.
And the first thing to do to improve the conditions is to buy a house.
On the last day of August, Ah Hu took a bus to a real estate in Dongshankou.
After Ah Hu, who was wearing flip-flops, a sleeveless vest and shorts, entered the sales department, although there were many idle salesmen in the sales department, no one took the initiative to take care of him.
The salesmen of the real estate company have trained a pair of sharp eyes early, and as soon as they see Ah Hu, they judge him to be a visitor with no purchasing power.
is young, the clothes are not gorgeous at all, and there is no car, and it is normal for the salesman to look down on it.
"Hello, is there a model house to see?"
After Ah Hu asked several times, a timid girl finally came to greet him.
"Xiaoli, don't bother with this kind of person, it's a complete waste of time", a slightly older salesman next to him said to Xiaoli, who received Ah Hu.
"Sister Ping, anyway, there aren't many customers now, and I don't have anything to do, so I'll take him to have a look."
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Ah Hu, what are you doing here, we don't accept people waiting to visit, so go back," a young man said to Ah Hu.
"Tiansheng, do you work here? What a coincidence."
"Ah Hu, I haven't seen you for four years, you still haven't grown, do you want to interview our salesman?
"Tiansheng, this is your classmate," Sister Ping said.
"High school classmates, I haven't seen each other for four years, and in the experimental class of our 47th middle school before, a few of them were not admitted to key universities."
"Hey, not everyone is like you, you joined the headquarters of Baoli Real Estate Group as a management trainee as a freshman after graduating from CUHK," Sister Ping said with a little flattery.
Although Tiansheng is a new employee who just joined this year, and now he comes to the sales department as a management trainee to experience the work of a salesperson, after a year or two, he will definitely return to the group office or be delegated to a branch as an administrator.
Therefore, as an ordinary salesman in the sales department, his education is not very high, so he does not dare or want to offend the employees of the group at will.
"That's not what I said, Ah Hu used to be the third in our class, we all thought he would definitely be able to go to a 985 school, but I didn't expect this guy to know how to play games all day long, and when it came to the college entrance examination, the results were the bottom of our handle."
When Tiansheng was a freshman in high school, his grades were relatively backward in the class, and at that time, Ah Hu, who had good grades and could play games every day, made him very unhappy.
