Chapter 32
Lin Yan has a habit of writing posts, that is, when he writes, what he writes will go off topic. Can he not be off-topic? OK. But why is it still off topic? It's because he's lazy. That's right, it's because he's lazy. Generally speaking, whether you are writing a post, an article, or a game setting, you should check it multiple times. And Lin Yan is lazy somewhere, not that he writes less, but that he basically does not revise the post after he finishes it. Before writing, there was basically only a general direction, not even an outline, let alone fine steel.
In the middle of writing, I didn't stop to straighten out my thoughts, but wrote with confidence. Therefore, what he writes, in a way, is not so friendly. If you can follow the path of his thinking, then you can clearly understand how what you suddenly wrote came about. If there is no corresponding logic of thinking, then it becomes awkward to understand what he writes.
Some people directly gave up reading Lin Yan's posts, while some people made some small changes along with Lin Yan's thinking, and finally understood the internal logic of Lin Yan's writing.
Of course, Lin Yan also knew that it was wrong for him to do so. You know, things like articles are actually changed.
Often when writing for the first time, there are always some missing words, even missing sentences, not to mention typos.
Whether you're typing on a computer or writing by hand, it's impossible to make typos at all. Just like a newspaper, things that generally go through three corrections before printing are often published, and the typo rate is about 1 in 10,000.
Writing mistakes, like anything, is an unusually steep curve to achieve the extreme.
Of course, there may be a bald kid named Wu Ke who will ask, and he will ask, "Why is there no typo in all the fairy tale books he reads?" ”
Publishing books, although not completely eliminating typos. However, the occurrence of typos is definitely much less than that of other publications.
For example, newspapers, although they have been proofread three times, because this thing needs to be time-sensitive, in the more primitive era, workers need to typeset by hand. Even if there are no typos in the previous proofreading, the lead writer shakes his hand, and there are typos again.
If you want to find out which word is wrong in a pile of lead words, and then troubleshoot it, it is definitely a particularly tragic thing.
And the printed sample newspaper is often finalized. Unless there are some special circumstances, it is impossible to waste so much money and do a new proofreading.
Publishing books, the reason why there are not so many typos. One is because it is too difficult to publish a book, and the process of publishing a book is relatively slow, perhaps the author himself has proofread it hundreds of times, and the editor in charge of this book has read it at least dozens of times.
After the editor has finished reading and printing the sample book, he will definitely proofread it. Therefore, the publication of a book is a very complicated matter. It involves far from the author alone, but the entire industry chain including editors, printers, and even transportation workers.
This is also the reason why, when newspapers are becoming more and more declining, many newspaper companies still retain the entire establishment and publish newspapers every day, even if they cannot sell a few newspapers.
Because, this industrial chain can arrange employment for many people.
Just like the real estate industry of a certain country, the huge industry brought up can be said to affect hundreds of millions of people.
Starting from the raw materials, reinforced concrete. Iron and steel plants and cement plants have corresponding industrial chains, which can be traced upstream. If there is no real estate as a consumption direction, these raw material manufacturers will not produce so much reinforced concrete, there will not be so much demand, and there will not be so much employment.
Then, with the rise of construction sites, not only the construction workers were provided with jobs, but also the surrounding process supervisors who were responsible for design, review, and so on. There are also those responsible for the tertiary industry, such as restaurants, baths, and so on.
Then, there is the infrastructure of various road infrastructures. As well as schools, hospitals, and so on.
Even the rise of e-commerce is partly because of real estate.
If it weren't for the high price of housing rents, there would not be so many companies that decided to put the main route of the company on the Internet.
Use the internet as a sales channel. Of course, in the end, websites like Frog Treasure are actually equivalent to virtual business centers, and those locations with strong traffic will always be only a few.
If the location is less, it is naturally a scarce resource, and if it is a scarce resource, there will naturally be competition, and the price will rise. In the end, whether it is a legitimate means to buy these recommended positions, or because normal purchases are too expensive, choose abnormal means, and brush up the ranking of their products through channels such as swiping. In fact, it's all about competing for this scarce resource.
Of course, in the beginning, many people thought it was good. If your own store is opened online, it will be a good situation.
Because, if there is a store according to the original business mode, maybe the scope of radiation is only tens of thousands of people. As long as you sell things online, think about it, it will directly radiate to the whole country, and even the world, as long as there are people and places with express delivery.
Of course, imagination is beautiful. At the end of the day, things are always so unsatisfactory.
In this way, although the Internet has a global market, it is also facing global competition.
Perhaps, when tens of thousands of people were radiated in the past, there was only one competing store, but now I suddenly feel that I am radiating billions of people, and maybe the number of competing stores is tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
An ordinary store, there is no geographical advantage, due to the remoteness, after others buy it, the postage is too expensive. Without the advantage of supply, the purchase price cannot be negotiated. Without promotion advantages, there is no way to use the recommendation position of the website, or other channels, to let more people know.
These factors will ultimately determine whether an online store is making a lot of money or having a lot of money.
Therefore, although it seems that the market for opening an online store has become larger. But, to some extent, the stores are also more concentrated.
Maybe they are all concentrated in places with developed industries or convenient transportation. For example, a triangle free shipping area.
In this way, it may seem that there are no big consequences. However, in the end, it will be triggered by nothing more than the wealth gathered in one place.
People who are accustomed to online consumption earn wages locally, and then consume thousands of miles away. This kind of behavior of sucking blood without feeding back is actually very dangerous.
Because, in a way, this will eventually cause a local economic recession, and eventually he will lose his jobs.
Of course, we can't look at it completely pessimisticly. After all, such a thing as the economy of princes, which has been proven in history, is not very feasible.
After all, everything has a degree, and it's too much.
For example, if you want to protect the economy of a place, you need to protect it. However, it is impossible to be a small county town located in the north, because to eat bananas in the south, some people eat directly grab and cut off their heads, or plant banana trees locally.
It's a very complex problem, and it's hard to navigate economics beforehand.
After all, economics is not a complete science, but more of a forced analysis and far-fetched with hindsight.
The vast majority of economists on the table are not because of how high or high their academic standards are. Rather, it is because certain sectors, for the legitimacy of their economic policies, need to be endorsed by someone.
Since you don't believe what we say, then let's let the experts say. Of course, sometimes they are just too unreliable. As a result, there was the name of the brick family called the beast.
It can't be said that the brick family is innocent of calling beasts, after all, they have reaped enough benefits in this process of the platform. However, it cannot be said that the responsibility lies entirely with them.
They are not more decision-makers, but marionettes, the people behind them, what they do, what they are asked to do, they will do what they do.
In fact, it is not more noble than some people who make money with their bodies. One sells his body, the other sells his soul.
One is physical comfort, and the other is spiritually comforting.
Actually, the two professions are about the same.
Of course, there are many people who don't know. They sometimes wonder why we buy this thing and do this thing as those brick beasts say, and we don't get a good result.
Actually, just think about it. The people they serve are not ordinary people. The general public, even if they listen to them and jump off the building directly, it will not do them any harm to themselves.
It's like someone saying why some shows are getting worse and worse. Because, those programs are not for you to watch in the first place.
Who pays them, who they show them, this is a very natural thing, how can it not work sometimes.
Even if it is a Chiba game, sometimes the games made will not be loved by players. Because, these games are not designed for players. It's designed for funders.
According to the routine of Chiba Games to make games, they feel that this one is mainstream and has no features. Since you are the master of the money, we will follow your opinion.
When you say east, we will never go west, nor will we go to the far east. In the end, you happily took the product and left, and we didn't have the slightest worry, because no matter whether you make money or lose money, it has nothing to do with us.
You think it's cheesy, but it's something that the market has verified. It's cheesy, not because it's vulgar in itself, but because it's effective, and some people see it and find that this thing has become cheesy.
If he finds a novel and effective way to do so, he will definitely become tacky in a few months and a few games.
Because, everyone will follow the trend and learn from it. In the end, it is not necessarily the person who starts the new thing that stands at the top, but often the perfecter who succeeds.
This goes back to the previous itinerary where the game genre was discussed. Maybe it wasn't before, but because it appeared, because someone liked it, it would be quickly copied and spread, and finally, it entered the genre whether it was a mainstream type or a niche type.
Again, it depends on the potential of the genre itself, because good games, it won't take long for them to emerge in a new genre.
So, in a sense, in this world, there is no opposition to followers, plagiarists.
For example, a goose factory, although their games are all plausible, they can do more than the prototype of this game. In addition to the platform they have, in fact, their ability to improve the game and the skills to run the game should not be underestimated.
Of course, most people don't read it. They don't analyze why one game doesn't work and why another game works.
As if everything has a chain of contempt, of course there is playing games. It's like a 10-dollar headset that can have 80 percent effect, a 100-dollar earphone that has 85 percent effect, a 1,000-dollar earphone that has 90 percent effect, and a 10,000-dollar earphone that has 92 percent effect.
Those who use 10,000 may look down on 1,000, and those who use 1,000 may look down on 100,000, but those who use 1,000 dollars are also likely to look down on those who use 10,000, 1,000, and 100.
Because, your headphones, not just listen to a ring, my ten yuan headphones can also hear, you talk so much, do you have a hole in your brain.
This constitutes a reincarnation. No matter which circle you put it in, it's the same thing.
For example, there has always been a debate among video game players. For example, a player is from this camp and a player is from that camp.
They're going to get into a fight, and then all of a sudden, somebody comes and says, 'You're both stupid, you're both poor-bastards.' What is there to earn, it's just a game console, it's only how much is a one, and it's hard to buy one. You can't buy any machines for your time of arguing.
Then, the two host players will spray the person who said them together.
Because everyone has their own ass problems, in fact, in the end, there is no unified consensus. However, there must be a very clear chain of contempt in this.
Lin Yan sometimes likes to study this chain of contempt, which is the same reason why he writes posts and goes to forums. Because, he wants to understand what players in this era need and what kind of idea they have.
Anyone, anything, divorced from reality, will not end up well, and may be able to achieve a certain degree of glory and success for a while, but it will definitely be washed away by history and reveal its true colors.
Lin Yan didn't want the games he made to be just some spectacle. (To be continued.) )
