029：

Now that it has been exposed, Ju Mingfeng can't help it.

He had no choice but to say to Sù Ju Bai Yan: "Okay, Dad." I'm at a friend's house in Huxi City. ”

Ju Baiyan didn't believe it, and said angrily: "You have been to Huxi a few times, where did you come from!?" ”

Ju Mingfeng replied confidently: "It's a friend I met on the Internet, can't I!?" Let me tell you, Lin Shuke is amazing, he is making games himself, and Beichen is willing to pay 20 million to buy the games and game platforms he makes. Dad, I want to transfer to Huxi and cooperate with Lin Shu to make games, what do you think? ”

Ju Baiyan: "......"

"What are you doing? Transfer to Huxi, want to cooperate with people to make games, who do you think you are!? Although he said this, Ju Baiqi still asked, "Who is the other party?" ”

Of course, Ju Mingfeng was not stupid enough to directly explain Lin Shu's identity and origin to Ju Baixi, but said lightly: "Dad, you search the Internet." Just use "Three Kingdoms Ideal" and "Future Game" as a keyword search, that is the game and platform he makes. If you know a little bit about it, you should know what kind of game it is. ”

Ju Baiqi really went to search for it, and found that there was really this game, and I felt that it was quite stylish, and the evaluation was good, but I was a little surprised, and asked, "Did your friend do it?" But what does that have to do with you? Why would people want to work with you little brat? ”

Although the words were still the same polite, Ju Baiyan's tone was obviously much softened.

Ju Mingfeng thought to himself, don't underestimate your son, okay? Anyway, I'm also reborn, and after 20 years, the number and level of commercial projects I've done can make Dad's eyes fall in shock.

It's a pity that none of these words can be said.

So he just pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted, "Dad, you are definitely ageism!" Whether people want to cooperate with me depends on whether they can invest in the deed with me, whether they can help, and whether they need financial assistance...... It has nothing to do with age, okay? ”

Ju Baiwei thought it was funny: "What kind of financial assistance can you give?" ”

Ju Mingfeng replied: "Even if I don't have any money, don't you and my mother have ......?"

……

The two were poor for a long time before Ju Mingfeng hung up the phone. Ju Baifeng thought about it, and went online to investigate the details of Lin Shu's game and the game platform he established, while Ju Mingfeng turned off his mobile phone and began to check the specific functions of the game engine and platform.

After all, he is a person who has been exposed to this kind of engine for a long time, so it is easier for Ju Mingfeng to understand the design scheme and the advantages and disadvantages of the entire game than an engineer like Yang Ziqi. Yang Ziqi looked at the engine designed by Lin Shu, at most, he judged that the design of the engine itself was very widely applied based on years of experience in the game industry, but after all, he had not been exposed to other mature commercial open engines, so he knew a large part of the design details but did not know why, and still needed to think carefully.

Ju Mingfeng is different.

Many times, he can tell at a glance what a certain part of the engine is for, how a certain module has been loved by the market, and what kind of bugs or vulnerabilities have caused a certain design to be designed in its current form...... In short, you know everything you know.

So he also knew what styles and content were added to this system that belonged to Lin Shu. Which of the engines did not belong to all the distribution systems he had seen, but were improved and integrated into the system by Lin Shu little by little.

…… Since a long, long time ago, Ju Mingfeng felt that Lin Shu was a genius.

This kind of genius does not belong to the genius with excellent memory or learning ability, but lies in vision and ideas. Lin Shu can always rely on instinct to quickly know what kind of design makes people happy, and what kind of composition can best increase the user's psychological pleasure.

His mind is broad, but his mind is gentle. This gives his works an indescribable charm - Lin Shu pays great attention to smoothness and detail transformation in the planning and design of all games, and there are never abrupt plot transitions, or uncomfortable or unpleasant level difficulty settings. This kind of design can be achieved through precise calculations and repeated tests, but it will never be as easy and natural as Lin Shu can do.

Ju Mingfeng has actually always been very strange, what he likes about Lin Shu. Before he met Lin Shu, he didn't realize that he was bisexual. In other words, his attitude towards Lin Shu is no different from looking at women. He didn't particularly realize that what he liked was a man, because in Ju Mingfeng's consciousness, Lin Shu was the person he liked, whether it was a man or a woman.

It was even difficult for him to describe what he liked about Lin Shu. Lin Shu is very good, there is no doubt about that. But Ju Mingfeng feels that there are many excellent people, and he will not like others because someone is better than Lin Shu. It's not so much that he likes each other because Lin Shu is very good, but because of Lin Shu's savings...... And for people with similar temperaments to him, they have a higher evaluation.

But he didn't hate it.

Even until now, their relationship has been like a glass vase hanging in the air, swaying and falling, with a sense of danger and instability that may fall in mid-air at any time and shatter bones, but Ju Mingfeng does not hate it.

He used Lin Shu's computer to try out the game and the engine system, and in the process, he really gave a lot of opinions.

"Is the setting used here in the message purely random? If the axes were used to calculate the results of the transmission failure, would it be more realistic? ”

"But then you have to calculate the real-time location of all the communicable objects, right? But in fact, my assumption is that the moment the communication is sent out, the random selection of candidates will begin...... The amount of computation between the two can be said to be very different. If you want to calculate all the character coordinates in real time, the number of calculations that need to be done in the background will definitely increase significantly......"

Ju Mingfeng put his fingers against his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Or like this." We set two more values for all communicable objects, which are the range of the active area and the coordinates of the current activity. In this way, it is only necessary to calculate the current coordinates of each character at the moment of communication, and the amount of added jù is much smaller......"

The two discussed the engine setting like this, and before they knew it, a day had passed. At noon, Ju Mingfeng's mobile phone rang once, and Xu Nan's family called to urge Ju Mingfeng to go back for lunch, but Ju Mingfeng refused to do so.

Lin Shu was next to him, just seeing the other party's face change in a second. Obviously, he was still an innocent bear child before, but as soon as he hung up the phone, he was immediately noble and cold, and his eyes revealed a look of "what's so difficult to fool a group of mortals", which was simply devastating.

Hawkers, but Lin Shu himself is also pretending to be tender in front of his mother, so he is not qualified to talk about him.

The two then went on to discuss the game. Ju Mingfeng himself prefers the kind of games with strong skills or a pleasant sense of blows, and is not interested in this kind of game that purely follows the strategy simulation stream, but because it is Lin Shu's work, he is still very interested in playing - whether it is a game or an engine.

It's a pity that time flies quickly. When it was dark, Ju Mingfeng still had to go back to Xu's house. Xu Nan asked for the address and rode a bicycle directly to pick it up. Although Liang Yuehua politely wanted to stay with Mingfeng for dinner, Ju Mingfeng also knew that it was just a kind word, and if he really agreed, it would be easy to reduce his mother-in-law's favorability.

- Unless he stays overnight, it's worth keeping a cheeky stay. Thinking like this, Ju Mingfeng sighed, then turned around and showed a sweet smile, and shouted, "Auntie, I'm leaving!" Thank you for your hospitality today! ”

He is good-looking and has a sweet mouth, although he appears a little abruptly, it is difficult for Liang Yuehua to have a bad feeling, so he also waved his hand and said, "Come and play next time." ”

Ju Mingfeng immediately replied: "I'll come back tomorrow!" ”

The next day was the weekend, and there was really no problem for Ju Mingfeng to come back. Liang Yuehua choked instantly.

After Ju Mingfeng left, Liang Yuehua finally had the opportunity to talk to Lin Shu alone, and asked, "Is that kid really your classmate?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Mom, he's not my classmate, he's ...... Well, it's a friend I used to work with on the game. He's a coastal guy and we've been communicating online. ”

If Ju Mingfeng's affairs continue to be communicated in the future, he will definitely not be able to hide it. Instead of casually dealing with it at this time and leaving a bad impression on Liang Yuehua, Lin Shu might as well try to tell the truth as much as possible and only embellish it a little in irrelevant places.

Except for the sentence "online communication", the other parts of what Lin Shu said are basically true.

Liang Yuehua was stunned for a moment: "Planning the game...... The kid? He looked ...... Not too old, right? ”

Lin Shu replied, "We are the same age. ”

Liang Yuehua always felt a little weird, but when she thought about Lin Shu, she was relieved. It is said that today's computer field is the world of young people, because children are especially easy to learn new systems and new technologies. Liang Yuehua has also been smart since she was a child, so she can probably understand...... Learning ability and interest in learning are not related to age, only the amount of knowledge accumulation is affected by age.

Lin Shu has been very fond of all kinds of video games since he was a child, and Liang Yuehua and Lin Jinhua almost never stop him from doing so, and even support basic card money and game consumption, because they themselves actually love this kind of pastime. However, Liang Yuehua will teach Lin Shu to cultivate self-control ability since he was a child - online game companies are the people who know all kinds of consumer psychology the most, if they can achieve rational consumption in online games, then they will not be easily hooked by all kinds of unreal vanity in reality.

In this regard, Lin Shu is different from his father, and he has been doing well. Whether it is spending money or doing things, he has always been very planned, and he also has a reasonable plan for his small treasury, neither too stingy nor impulsive consumption.

Liang Yuehua is still quite confident in her son, so she didn't delve into this aspect, and instead asked the question she was most concerned about - "What is going on with Mr. Yang and the acquisition?" ”

Lin Shu didn't hide Liang Yuehua's meaning on this, but he felt that Liang Yuehua might not believe some things he said, so he didn't try to convince her. Now that Liang Yuehua asked, he told the truth, Liang Yuehua listened quietly, and then fell into deep thought.

Liang Yuehua asked, "Is your game really worth 20 million?" ”

Lin Shu replied: "Mr. Yang said that he is willing to spend 20 million yuan to acquire games and platforms, so I think it should be worth it...... Otherwise, he would not have been willing to spend so much money. Beichen is a big company. ”

Liang Yuehua asked again: "Is that person really Yang Ziqi, the technical director of Beichen?" ”

Lin Shu said: "Well, he gave me a business card." And, if not, what's the good of him lying to me? ”

Liang Yuehua suddenly fell into thought.

Then Liang Yuehua went to make dinner, so Lin Shu didn't understand what his mother was thinking for a while. It seems that he only asked about the situation, and he didn't say anything else, and he didn't express his opinion.

But soon his mind was no longer on this. He checked the transaction records of the platform on the Internet, and then burst into a very bright smile because of the total transaction amount.

030：

When Lin Shu logged in at night, he found that the number of purchases and downloads of game engines and new mods had exceeded four figures, and the revenue even exceeded six figures. This may be a drop in the bucket compared to the 20 million quoted by Yang Ziqi, but don't forget, Yang Ziqi quoted a buyout price, which also includes the technology of the Shui encryption method that Lin Shu will never sell.

In addition, the promotion of future games is also limited. Lin Shu's current financial resources are limited, and at most he can only publicize it in forums or game websites and other places, so the publicity is very weak. But Lin Shu's purpose is not to make a game, but to run a virtual game trading platform. As a trading platform, its profit income will not be concentrated in the early stage of the game's release like the general stand-alone game, but should be a process of accumulating popularity. Therefore, Lin Shu believes that the current progress is still very good.

You must know that so far, the total number of downloads of "Three Kingdoms Ideal" in various forums is only forty or fifty thousand, but the current purchase of the game engine has exceeded 1,000, and the purchase of new game mods has even reached 3,000, which is already a very good result - after all, the platform and the new system have not been online for a long time, even if they have accumulated popularity before, they need to be converted into revenue little by little.

However, after having a certain amount of funds in hand, Lin Shu couldn't help but put the matter of running a company on the agenda again. At present, Lin Shu has not paid taxes on the income from making games. However, if this continues, this income may need to be paid at the standard of individual income tax, which is much more than the payment of corporate income tax, both in terms of payment basis and payment amount.

Moreover, having a formal business document will be much more convenient in every sense, and it will also give people more trust. Lin Shu felt the need to talk to Liang Yuehua again later.

With that in mind, he planned what he was going to do next.

When Ju Mingfeng came the next day, he quickly saw the plan on Lin Shu's desk. Lin Shu is very experienced in doing this kind of thing, although he has stopped doing planning and budgeting by himself for several years, but because he has held a decision-making position for many years, he knows the key points better than ordinary people.

When Ju Mingfeng looked at it, he found that he listed the things to be done and the capital budget in the future in a very detailed and concise manner, and ...... Unnecessary budgets were not included, but an additional budget for miscellaneous expenses was included next to them.

…… Sure enough, it's different from the first time.

Ju Mingfeng still remembers that when he first started his business, although the conditions were relatively difficult, Lin Shu's enthusiasm at that time was much higher than now. The rented studio has also undergone some renovation, although the funds are limited, but Lin Shu has spent a lot of effort on cheap decoration.

This time, it was very simple, and I didn't even have the interest and budget to renovate the studio.

Ju Mingfeng read the plan, thought about it, and said, "I also think you should rent a studio." It's really not good to keep the server in your bedroom all the time, and it's not formal or secondary, if it's mainly left open all night, it will affect your sleep too much. You're a shallow sleeper. ”

Lin Shu replied, "It's not this question. He thought for a moment and said, "I've sent at least a few thousand activation codes during this time." Although a program has been written to assist in shipping, if there is any mistake in the middle, it will still need to be handled manually. I'm going to school and I'm going to write new modules, so it's definitely too late...... I don't want to spend my time on it even if I could, it's not worth it. And in addition to this, in order for the trading platform to expand its influence, it must first have more and better products. In the early days, players will put on their own modules or materials, as you can imagine, will be of uneven quality, so we need to put a batch of official works on the shelves ourselves, and the painter does not need to be hired, but we need at least one artist contact, a customer service, and a trusted person who is responsible for taking care of the server...... You can't all work in my room, right? ”

When Lin Shu said this, Ju Mingfeng understood.

"So, you write '3 employees' here, which means these three positions?"

Lin Shu nodded: "Teacher Du...... Ah, she's a trainee teacher at my school, and she's also the original artwork for this game. She has finished her internship and is going back to their school to get her diploma. When she returns, she will be officially inducted, and I plan to put her in a management role for the time being. She has a good personality and is a trustworthy person. ”

Ju Mingfeng listened and replied with a smile: "If you say something trustworthy, she must be a trustworthy person." ”

Lin Shu listened, but he was very happy, and said, "When she comes back, I'll introduce you to each other." Then he immediately turned back to the topic: "Three people are just the tentative number at the moment. After that, it will definitely be expanded, and after the platform has a certain influence, it will first expand the customer service of three to five people, the technical maintenance of one or two people, and at least one publicity, one number jù processing; When the capital flow can be stabilized, the R&D team can be established, and then the company can really be put on track. ”

Then halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered something and said to Ju Mingfeng: "Ah, that's right. ”

"Mingfeng, do you remember the news that day? The unidentified falling object and the police truck? ”

Ju Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "Huh? ”

He wondered how Lin Shu could suddenly ask such a question.

Lin Shu said: "...... Something inside that UFO seems to have come to me. He held out his index finger and tapped his temple.

"Huh!?" Ju Mingfeng was so shocked that he suddenly stood up from his seat. He reached out and touched Lin Shu's forehead and asked, "Are you okay!?" ”

Then he reacted and said, "No...... Twenty years ago, it could never have been in your head. ”

He obviously misunderstood what Lin Shu meant, thinking that Lin Shu's brain had been invaded by mechanical fragments.

Lin Shu suddenly smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. Then he explained.

After hearing his words, Ju Mingfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What, it's a golden finger." It doesn't sound very useful...... Isn't there any future black technology? Mecha, spaceship, or time machine space teleportation technology or something......"

Lin Shu complained: "It's beautiful to think." ”

"Didn't you say that? People always have to have some dreams to live. ”

Lin Shu replied, "You are obviously delusional. ”

Although he complained about Ju Mingfeng like this, he still called up the material conversion program he was doing and began to discuss his idea design with Ju Mingfeng. Ju Mingfeng saw that he had deliberately come up with a material conversion program, and he thought it was quite strange, and asked, "Can't you directly use the common general format now?" Wouldn't that be more convenient? ”

Lin Shu said: "No. Because there is piracy. ”

Ju Mingfeng asked: "Just to prevent piracy?" That's too much trouble, right? Wait...... So the material conversion is not directly packaged into the program, but we have to check the uploaded materials one by one? ”

Ju Mingfeng had already learned about the encryption method of the program before, and knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to crack the game without knowing the principle of Shui's encryption. The encryption method of the water ghost is evolved on the basis of another encryption method, and today's technology has to develop to this point, at least three times the evolution and evolution of encryption technology in the middle, which has nothing to do with ability, it is purely a matter of technology accumulation.

So this game should not have the problem of zài piracy cracking, at least for the time being, Lin Shu should be referring to material piracy.

In terms of identifying the originality of materials, no matter how profound the technology is, it cannot replace manpower. Twenty years later, although there is the technology to compare and search images through color contrast and color arrangement, anyone who understands how this software works can easily exchange pixel arrangements or simply replace colors to deceive the rules of the machine.

Although there are more sophisticated mechanical comparison techniques, the more complex the technology, the higher the hardware requirements. Even if Lin Shu can write the corresponding software, I am afraid it will be difficult to make it work on the current flat computer.

Lin Shu nodded and replied, "It can only be checked by manpower." ”

Ju Mingfeng habitually thought about it while playing with his earlobes with his hands, and finally said: "Even if some of this kind of Cheng dù's material piracy appears, it's not a big deal, right?" ”

"Of course it does." Lin Shu quickly replied, "Mingfeng, you haven't been short of money since you were a child, so you probably don't know much about it. In this world, there are few people who only play genuine or only pirated, and most people choose one of them depending on the situation, so the profits between them fluctuate greatly. In the same way, there are very few people in this world who insist on a certain industry, or refuse to work in a certain industry anyway, and most of them are people who change their ways according to their own economic situation and the surrounding environment. In this case...... People who are willing to use our platform or not, who are willing to become original game makers, will also increase or decrease according to the size of the benefits, such as painters, copywriters and even programming. ”

"So whether we can guarantee the copyright income of the material is very important, so important that it can almost determine the speed of development of the open engine and our platform. Only when the interests are high, the crowd will be attracted to this industry, and only when there are more people involved in platform transactions, it is easier to emerge good works. ”

Ju Mingfeng blinked. As a master who has never been short of money, he doesn't understand the contradiction that some people have to choose between genuine games and daily enjoyment, anyway, for him, everything he wants to buy since he was a child can be bought casually.

However, he could still understand Lin Shu's general meaning, so he replied: "Since you said so, then so be it." But if this is arranged, will there be not enough manpower? After all, the number of online platforms on the shelves in a day cannot be small......"

Lin Shu said: "As popular as the platform is now? ”

Ju Mingfeng glanced at the number and said, "This popularity is already good. ”

Lin Shu replied: "So far, there hasn't even been a single application on the shelf, and it's too redundant to discuss this." When the popularity rises, let's consider the issue of recruiting more people. ”

As a result, as he spoke, the desktop computer over there made a beep. Lin Shu's desktop was landing on the platform website at this time, and Ju Mingfeng leaned over to look at the message reminder and laughed.

"As soon as I said that there was no application on the shelf, the application came." Ju Mingfeng said, "Someone has uploaded a game mod. ”
