When "Minecraft" is taking the world by storm day by day, Lin Yan has already begun to plan new games.

Chiba game smartphones have been on sale for a few months, although because of Chiba Games' own subsidy policy, there is basically no money from selling hardware alone, but, through the sale of software, the income is actually okay.

Of course, all the people who follow this project in Chiba games don't care how much money their phones make. Because, this is the old routine of Chiba games, seizing the market at a low price, and then creating a software ecosystem to make money.

However, although the Chiba gaming smartphone, in the eyes of Chiba gaming inside, is already a very cheap product. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is still the price of mid-to-high-end mobile phones in this time period.

After all, the price of low-end phones is now as low as less than ten dollars. Even if they have a 100% profit, the price of a lowest-end mobile phone is only thirty dollars.

All of this is thanks to a Taiwanese company called ChainTek, which provides a package solution for low-end machines.

In other words, it saves the cost of mobile phone manufacturers and R&D costs. Just design your own set of shells.

Therefore, with LianTek as the core, in Shenzhen, China, countless mobile phone manufacturers have risen for a while. Relying on the vast market of Chinese mainland, it did not take long for them to earn high profits. turned into a cash cow.

Among them, a few mobile phone manufacturers have transformed and were born, Tianyu, Jinli, and a series of other brands.

These brands of mobile phones, although they still use a package of solutions from LianTek, they have begun to do high-end market.

Among them, Jinli joined hands with Acorn International to occupy the TV screens of the vast number of third- and fourth-tier cities through TV shopping. Tianyu, on the other hand, is taking the contract machine route, cooperating with operators, and for a while, the two manufacturers are also in the limelight.

Most of the remaining mobile phone manufacturers are following this trend and eating together, without their own brands, either copycat well-known brands or copycat brands.

Of course, these mobile phone manufacturers are also very creative, such as mobile phones with subwoofers and marquees, which are all launched by them.

A brick-sized phone has a giant speaker on it, and through these speakers, all kinds of music can be played.

These mobile phones, in line with the target group they are facing, are selling very well.

However, for various reasons, they did not continue to be regularized. Even, one company after another, to put it bluntly, is a small workshop, and even the company is not registered.

Because, in this way, you can avoid paying taxes.

The areas where these small workshops are located are generally based on the village as a unit, and all of them are engaged in similar industries. And the local tax authorities, too, don't have much incentive to formalize them. After all, every time they go down and walk around, the benefits they get have already made them live very well.

Let these companies all be formalized, and where will the benefits be in the future. Besides, working in the government, it is a sentence, "don't do well, do less wrong", in case these companies are formalized, someone will start to check the copycat mobile phone in the future, and it will not be them who will be unlucky at that time.

Since it is not good to do so, then do not do it well.

With this in mind, in this land, many small workshops exist like this.

Now is the best era of low-end feature phones, so the vast number of small workshops have made countless money.

Even, those who come from other places to buy goods. I don't even look at what the phone looks like, and you can take as many units as you have. Their days are like grabbing money.

In fact, the owners of these small workshops generally have no skills or education, and what they need to do is very simple.

It is just to find a group of workers from Anhui, Sichuan, and Northeast China, and take a good look at them, so that they can complete the task of assembling mobile phones every day.

As for how much wages are paid to these people, it is better to say that it is according to the minimum wage. In two thousand and five years, the minimum wage was almost a thousand.

Therefore, those migrant workers work hard for more than ten hours a day. The boss kindly gave some overtime pay, but if he was unkind, the money he got was just the basic salary.

And these bosses, in fact, are veritable capitalists, and they have made enough profits in the process.

So, they built one beautiful villa after another in the village. The villas are more magnificent than the others, because in the final analysis, they still have to compare with the villagers, whose family has developed better.

And things like luxury cars, basically every family has one. However, when kidnapping and the like happened, they became much more low-key, driving old broken cars, carrying a broken bag, and contacting business everywhere.

Of course, after some people beautify, they become conscientious capitalists.

And their opinion of migrant workers is nothing more than that these people are lazy and stupid, they don't work so hard, and they have to pay them a thousand yuan a month, which is simple.

This new game planned by Lin Yan is called "Wisdom Dragon Maze". This is also a very popular mobile game in his memory.

The sales of games are basically in accordance with the direction of buyout-monthly fee-prop charges.

The arithmetic games that were first launched with the Chiba game mobile phone, whether it was "Angry Birds", "Fruit Ninja", or "Mario Run", were actually buyout fees.

The reason for this choice is that in the early days of the release of mobile phones, Chiba Games did not want to leave an impression in the hearts of gamers that they only needed money.

The buyout fee is the purest, as long as you buy it, you can play it casually, therefore, the first game is a buyout system.

And the "Wisdom Dragon Maze" that Lin Yan is going to develop now is the category of prop fees.

On mobile phones, or on mobile phones, after many people have carefully explored and found card elements, these devices are very popular.

And the card elements can also develop a mature charging model. The charging model is simple, just craft cards and open cards.

Lin Yan has a lot of experience in card games, and so does Yuki Chiba, after all, "Game of Destiny", through their operation, the influence has resounded throughout Japan, and it has also spread to many countries in the world. Regardless of whether you want to pirate for the time being, there are more than ten official foreign language versions.

You know, now that Chiba Games has released a game, it's usually only an eight-language version.

Already, there are so many major languages in the world. No matter how much development there is, the costs and benefits will not be proportional. Of course, Chiba Games' games are not always available in eight languages, and other minor language versions will be sold out directly to companies in these regions.

How much money they make, whether they make money or not, has nothing to do with Chiba Games, what Chiba Games needs to do is to collect the money from the sale.

The reason why Chiba Games doesn't operate itself is because the company is big, and if it invests in those small language countries, it may not benefit well.

And those companies that buy out the copyright are small and flexible, so they can still make profits.

Of course, these game companies in small languages sometimes make some games and find Chiba Games to distribute them. Not to mention, occasionally they can actually make a product that is a little bit of a topic and sells millions.

Because of their small size, they are somewhat similar to independent producers, so a big hit of a game can make them rich in an instant.

And it is precisely because of their small size that they can only choose Chiba Games, which has sales channels all over the world, to represent their games.

After all, no matter how hard they try, they basically can't sell their country.

This is probably the good of big and good, and the small and small.

"Wisdom Dragon Maze" is positioned as a light casual game. However, in accordance with the tradition of Japanese games, some elements of role-playing have been added.

It's a match-matching game, similar to Bejeweled. However, there is a dragon on it, and each dragon has its own special skills, and if you don't eliminate a gem once, the dragon will put a skill once.

Lin Yan even set up an arena system for this game, that is, players play elimination with players, and then see who wins.

Of course, "Wisdom Dragon Maze" is aimed at male users, and there are also games that are easy to play for female users, and that is "Happy Match".

Don't look at the names of these two games, however, they are very similar. Lin Yan also added cultivation elements and card trading elements to the game "Happy Match".

Compared with "The Lost City of Wise Dragons", it probably just turned the handsome dragon into a soft beautiful girl.

The game has just been launched for testing, but I didn't expect that "Happy Match" actually has a stable group of male players.

The marketing department conducted a series of analyses and felt that this was probably the same reason that they would look at ponies and beautiful girls with lights. The card girl in Happy Match is so cute. Let these adult uncles can't hold it.

After all, even if you look like an uncle, you can actually have a girl's heart.

And for these two games, the database is actually connected. In other words, the difference between the two games is actually only the difference in skin, and the two games are actually one game.

Of course, most players don't think it's a game. After all, for men, who will play soft games for girls, and for girls, they are not interested in dinosaur games for silly boys.

Lin Yan saw a problem from the release of these two games, this world is really a world of faces.

The release of the two games has brought a lot of cash flow to the department in charge of mobile games. It's like an online game with a fee for props, which replaces an online game that charges for time, and the income has increased a lot.

As a result, this strengthened the direction of Chiba Games to develop games on mobile phones. Of course, it's the same tradition as Chiba games.

They don't just develop a single type of game, they don't develop a single type of game on a platform, whether it's niche or not, they actually do.

They do this because they want to make sure they have a variety of games that attract different players to play different games.

And those third-party game manufacturers, as before, have learned the same, Chiba Games has a popular game, and they will launch some similar games.

And the division mode of the Chiba game this time is also drawn from the props. Chiba games are relatively disciplined.,Only draw thirty percent.。

However, even so, several games have accumulated together, and the software game of Chiba Games smartphone has quickly begun to make profits.

In this way, the pressure on software to subsidize hardware has basically been eliminated.

After Lin Yan finished producing "The Maze of the Wise Dragon", he could rest for a while. After all, all he has to do is basically just make a look. If he had to do everything, he would have died of exhaustion.

However, even if it was a break, Lin Yan was not idle, but was thinking carefully about what games to make in the future.

After thinking for a long time, he turned his gaze back to the computer.

You must know that the two series of "Warcraft" and "StarCraft" have already come out to "StarCraft II" and "Warcraft III" respectively.

Thanks to the powerful map editors that come with both games, there are a lot of interesting maps. And now the Dota, the prototype of the Guardian Ruins, has appeared.

However, the game they made has a relatively bad point, that is, it inherits the characteristics of "Warcraft III", and the difficulty of operation and familiarity is a bit high.

In the new era, the amount of time players spend learning a game has been greatly reduced. If a game can't get them to play in the first few minutes, they're going to give up.

As a result, real-time strategy games like Warcraft and StarCraft are starting to fall short of what they used to be.

It's not that the game isn't fun, it's not that the game has changed, it's that the players have changed. In the new era, it is only natural that there will be new forms of games.

Therefore, Lin Yan's finger fell on the keyboard, and the words "League of Legends Planning Book" were displayed on the computer screen.

That's right, it's League of Legends, no matter how unpopular this game is with Dota players, but it's undeniably a successful game, a game that has been coquettish for a while.

The reason why this game can be popular is also very simple, that is, because his game mode is advanced, it is a confrontation between people, and it is a confrontation between many people.

Even if there is only one map, because there is a human element, in fact, every game feels different.

And because there are multiple heroes, the characteristics of each hero are different, so even if it is a map, the rhythm of the whole game is very different with different characters.

Hayashi plans to make this game have an independent world view, and the classic characters of Chiba games will be displayed through skins. (To be continued.) )
