Chapter 126: About the Future
Where to eat, not far from the convention center.
Under an office building.
It's an Italian-style restaurant.
Recommended by a friend with Ye Luo.
He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and walks slightly hunchbacked.
Dressed in outdoor hiking clothes, he told them as he walked: his salads and pasta are very good.
"He used to study in Jianghai."
"Outside Chinese university," the man said, "my girlfriend used to live here." ”
The four of them chatted.
Su Qingyue knew that the man's name was Wang Rui.
Dongshan people.
Works in the famous Huixing antivirus.
Su Qingyue knows this company, and they are on a par with Hualuo in the field of security.
It is also a domestic security giant.
The headquarters is in Pyeongyo.
Seeing that he was about the same age as himself, Su Qingyue felt that he should have chosen Pingjing after graduation.
After all, Xiguancun is aimed at Silicon Valley.
Ye Luo said to him: "I think you should study the anti-plug-in and anti-theft now, and this will definitely be a big market in the future." A lot of equipment in the game has a ridiculously high price, and if you lose it, you can have it. ”
"It's not, I heard that "Hero" in the prosperous era of Tiancheng, a virtual knife, can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in private transactions." Shi Shuai sighed, "It seems that there is a player who committed suicide because of equipment problems." Now there is a lot of uproar, making it difficult to do Tiancheng Shengshi. ”
"Sooner or later, this kind of loophole will be closed, and it will not be too difficult." Wang Rui said.
"Qingyue, how much is the best equipment in your game now? Do you know? ”
"I've only heard that the 81 Best Ice Gun seems to be quite outrageous?" Su Qingyue returned.
He doesn't know much about private player spontaneous transactions.
But know that such a transaction is not safe.
And then he continued: "From a security point of view, any private transaction is inherently dangerous. If you really want to do it, it should be a trading platform provided by the game maker or a credible third party, even if it is a little bit of a profit, but it is safe. ”
"According to your meaning, a game company is a virtual goods trading platform." Shi Shuai said.
"That's probably what it means, so that the interests of the players will be guaranteed to the greatest extent."
I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly remembered the new model that Zhang Youcheng said.
What happens if a game company gets involved in the trading of virtual items?
Su Qingyue didn't know, but vaguely felt that the trading of virtual items might be a profit model.
After a while, the dish came up.
Quite simply, all he wanted was a Caesar salad.
Ye Luo took a drink.
Let's talk about Zhang Youcheng's speech just now.
He said: "Zhang Youcheng has made a lot of moves recently, just invested in us, and then invested in the same class. It seems to be the company with the most frequent actions in the venture capital circle recently. His goal is clear, to build a media, social, and content matrix platform, and introduce various games for monetization. ”
"Now everyone wants to make a platform, but I think it's difficult." Shi Shuai said.
Listen to them talk.
Su Qingyue feels that the best model is to build his own platform while actively cooperating with other platforms.
But what he thinks about is what the new model Zhang Youcheng is talking about.
Does he have a solution?
Wang Rui ate a piece of steak and said, "I still think the game is interesting, there are so many possibilities, and I will make games in the future." Put down the knife and fork, and said: "But it's different from you, I'm not going to do any terminal games, I think the type of game market is too single, it should be a little different." ”
"Different? For example? Ye Luo asked curiously.
"Casual games. PC games are too time-consuming, and if there are some mini-games, the game market will be more diverse. He said, thinking about it again, "Did you play Bejeweled on MSN lately?" A few of my friends are very addicted to playing, and I think this will be a market as well. ”
"But how do you make money? Do you have to collect points to play a match-solving game? ”
"There is not only one charging model in the world, but also something else, just like a website advertisement." Wang Rui said.
"Like trading in gemstones? Game items? Su Qingyue said.
He vaguely realized that the game props trade would be a good profit model.
"I think it's going to be varied, but the core is to make sure the gameplay itself." Wang Rui sighed as he spoke, "Zhang Youcheng's speech today is very interesting and inspiring. I now feel that after a few more years of study, I can start my program. ”
"What's your plan?" Su Qingyue asked curiously.
"Do casual games, such as match-solving. After all, heavy games are too complicated for many people. "My ideal audience for gaming is somewhere between gamers and non-gamers. It's simple enough, like Disney animation, and the important thing is to bring joy. ”
"So it's not really an audience."
"Yes, I think there is still a lot of room for exploration in the stock market of games." He said.
Shi Shuai smiled: "Then you are ready to march into the programming world?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Luo laughed: "He was originally a programmer. ”
"Didn't he learn a foreign language?" Su Qingyue was also a little curious.
"He's a pervert!" Ye Luo laughed and reintroduced Wang Rui, "Everyone is a film and television singer, and he is a liberal arts and sciences student. He is also a translator who can write programs since the establishment of Jianghai Chinese University. Writing a casual game shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Programmer?" In an instant, Su Qingyue and Shi Shuai were stunned.
Wang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Personal hobbies, nothing." ”
"But how did you do it?" The commander asked puzzled.
"It sounds amazing," Wang explains, "it's not that complicated. For talented people, language is just a tool, nothing more than a person, or a computer. I'm already in basic and C++ in high school, so learning a new programming language is just a matter of familiarizing myself with the syntax. ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that a programmer who graduated from 211 software engineering and has two years of work experience is the same as a white rabbit in front of him." Leaves fall next to the addition.
Understand Wang Rui's madness.
It's talented, it's different.
Su Qingyue really wants to see the future of casual games.
At this time, Shi Shuai finished eating and put down the knife and fork: "I think Zhang Youcheng's words are quite meaningful, and the innovation of the model is especially suitable for e-commerce." Recently, the company has made a new e-commerce website, on which individuals can open a store, which I think is very interesting. ”
"It's interesting, but the biggest problem with e-commerce is security and trust." Ye Luo said.
"This is going to be handed over to Wang Rui." Shi Shuai said with a smile.
"I just work in Huixing, and I will still make games in the future, which is my favorite career," Wang Rui said, looking at Shi Shuai, and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" ”
"I'm very simple, it's marketing."
"What about you?" Wang Rui asked Ye Luo again.
Ye Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Media platform, follow the boss, you can't be wrong." ”
"What are you going to do?" Shi Shuai looked at Su Qingyue and asked.
"I'm the same as him," Su Qingyue said at this time, "making games." ”
He was adamant.
This is the industry he has chosen, and it is the goal he believes will succeed.
Reminds me of the relationship between new modes and virtual item trading.
This time to Gameyoung, he got a lot.
He firmly believes that the golden decade that Chen Feng said is coming.
It's so wonderful.
Let him not care about the outside world in the slightest.
Secretly made up his mind that he must fight for his place.
After a while, several people finished eating.
After saying goodbye, Su Qingyue went back to the Gameyoung venue alone.
