Chapter 138: The Studio's Expansion Plan
August 28, noon.
Xue Weiqiang came to the office of counselor Wu Zhiguo and handed in the application form of the poor students in the class.
Wu Zhiguo took the seven application forms, looked at the information on them one by one, and nodded from time to time against the information on the student list.
After reading it, he raised his eyes to look at Xue Weiqiang and asked, "The class fee was also charged?" ”
"Accepted." Xue Weiqiang nodded and said, "However, these seven poor students have not been confiscated, considering that they are indeed family difficulties, they have not been accepted for the time being." ”
"Hmm." Wu Zhiguo put aside the application form for poor students in his hand, then opened the drawer and said, "You should really be considerate." ”
Saying this, Wu Zhiguo took out a red envelope from the drawer, slowly opened the opening in front of Xue Weiqiang, and took out a complete 10 hundred-yuan bills from it.
When he saw this red envelope, Xue Weiqiang's temples jumped and he became a little nervous: "Teacher Wu......"
"Whoa." Wu Zhiguo handed the thousand yuan to Xue Weiqiang, "These should be regarded as the class fees paid in advance for the poor students in the class." ”
Of course, Xue Weiqiang knew where this red envelope came from, and his mouth was a little dry at this time, but he still didn't disobey Wu Zhiguo's intentions, he reached out and took the money, but he still said: "There are seven poor students in total, and you still have three hundred, teacher." ”
Wu Zhiguo sat on the chair, raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, and then said: "That's right, the extra three hundred yuan, you can find a time, buy some drinks and popsicles, and treat your classmates." ”
"Hmm......" Xue Weiqiang held the banknote in his hand, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, "I know." ”
"Oh yes." Wu Zhiguo remembered something, and reminded, "The 700 yuan, you can say that you paid it yourself, and the other 300 yuan of drinks and popsicles were kindly provided to everyone by the parents of an anonymous classmate in the class." ”
Xue Weiqiang: "......"
"Don't worry, the teacher is not targeting you." Wu Zhiguo saw that his face was a little embarrassed, so his tone softened a little, "It's just that if you only accept fruits, I'm quite happy, but we still don't bring other superfluous things to the school." ”
"As for your position as squad leader, it's never because your father asked me for a gift, but because I really value your personal ability."
"With your resume and grades in high school, you can be a little more confident, and this teacher wants you to figure it out for yourself."
Xue Weiqiang was silent, and finally nodded slowly, took the thousand yuan, and exited the office.
Wu Zhiguo, on the other hand, picked up the seven application forms on the side again, glanced at the name on the first one, and picked up his mobile phone to make a call:
"Hello? Zhang Nong: Is it? If you have time at noon, let's stop by the teacher's office. ”
"The teacher has something to do with me, so you can go back first."
After lunch, on the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Nong received a call and said, "It should be a matter of poor students applying." ”
"Go ahead." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Our Min University is also a well-known university in China, and we can still get a little bursary." ”
After seeing Zhang Nong leave, the remaining three returned to the dormitory.
Xu Xing was still holding the pineapple computer, Lu Pengyou was sitting on a chair playing with his mobile phone, and Jian Jiashu was sleeping with a mask.
Half a day has passed since August 27, and the sales volume of Fruit Assassin on the 27th has risen from the original 2,000 to 18,000.
And now that half a day has passed, Xu Xing took another look at the sales volume, and it had exceeded 30,000.
Abin: Are we counting this, we have already generated income?
I don't know if this number is so big that it makes people numb, but today's Li Zhibin is more emotionally stable than in the past few days, and he doesn't shout anymore.
A cloud of smoke and rain: What do you say, this is an unknown matter.
Abin: I'm just a little confused right now.
Abin: Since this increase is the result of our studio's own publicity, is it waiting for the recommendation, and can we maintain such an increase in the future?
Seeing Li Zhibin's speech, Xu Xing smiled, thinking that your kid is still too tender.
A cloud of smoke and rain: First, this increase is not exaggerated, you can wait two days and then see; Second, why do you think you're recommending it after the week?
Xu Xing, who has mastered rebirth, knows very well how much impact the game Fruit Assassin has on the current mobile game market.
In the case that the memory and other configurations of smartphones are still in a relatively early stage, even a pineapple mobile phone cannot carry a slightly larger mobile game.
Therefore, in this period, a lightweight mobile game like Fruit Assassin can often harvest the market and users to the greatest extent.
Especially in games like Fruit Assassin, after the initial fermentation period, even without any promotion and publicity, players will spontaneously form a very terrible transmission chain.
If the model of PDD in later generations that uses WeChat Moments and Relatives to forcibly harvest the number of users can quickly expand the user group, then the effect of spontaneous propaganda by players like Fruit Assassin will not be too bad.
Although it is more difficult to spread than free-to-play games, in areas like Laomei, users' game consumption habits have been cultivated, and people don't think that spending money on a game is strange or worthwhile.
In this environment, once the fruit assassin forms a trend, it will be like a tornado, quickly producing a fission-like growth effect in the crowd.
But Li Zhibin, who had just begun to accept the increase of more than 10,000 a day from the fruit assassin, obviously hadn't imagined the picture that only existed in Xu Xing's mind.
Abin: No, I believe what you said before, but every time you raise my expectations like this, I feel like my body is floating when I listen to it now.
Although he still didn't believe it in his heart, Xu Xing had come all the way so determined before, and almost every step stepped on places that Li Zhibin didn't expect.
This made him gradually start to distrust his own judgment.
Even if he looked at what Xu Xing said, it was still a bit outrageous, but Li Zhibin just had a kind of "This guy's nonsense won't come true again, right?" The illusion.
Smoke and rain: Putting aside the increase for the time being, why do you think our game will be recommended?
Abin: Doesn't that mean there's only one week?
Li Zhibin asked rhetorically as a matter of course.
But before Xu Xing could continue to remind him, he reacted first.
Abin:!
Abin: Are you saying that our results are too good, so there can be new recommendations in the future?
A cloud of smoke: You go and take a look at the latest game sales charts.
was reminded by Xu Xingyi, Li Zhibin hurriedly clicked on the leaderboard.
At this moment, the 30,000 sales of the fruit assassin have already cut the previous top of the list and easily reached the top.
In second place is the previous top of the list2, which currently sells only 21,000 copies.
It was followed by the Sword of the Third Exotic Country 2, with a total sales of fifteen thousand copies.
When he saw this scene, Li Zhibin opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't come back to his senses a little.
In this way, the game they made has unknowingly become the game with the strongest performance among the latest games on the AppStore in a short period of time?
You must know that Li Zhibin knows the details of their studio very well.
Including Xu Xing, the boss, the core development members are Xu Xing, Yan Chi Vinegar, and Xu Niannian.
Yu Youjia, who joined later, is counted as half, Yao Yuanyuan, who manages finances, is counted as half, and there are only four people who are full of money.
But a game made by such a small team was able to reach the top of the AppStore charts.
Although it is only the sales list of the latest games, the impact on Li Zhibin is huge enough.
It is hard for him to imagine now that in the freshman of Min University in Shanghai, when other students are still looking forward to college campus life, Xu Xing is mixed in, but he has already secretly become the owner of a start-up company.
And the young owner of this game company may soon become a successful person with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands.
Wrong.
Hundreds of thousands, that's just a week's income.
If the follow-up recommendations continue and the increase does not decrease, wouldn't it be millions in a month?!
Li Zhibin, who suddenly realized this, was a little numb in his mind.
This horse pedal is also outrageous!
The more clearly he understood the process of making the Fruit Assassin game, the more crazy he felt when he found out that the game was starting to harvest millions of dollars a month.
What the hell is wrong with this world?
Isn't it so easy to make money?
My brother just made such a casual mess during the summer vacation, and he came up with such a cash cow with a monthly income of millions?
You know, this is only going online in the United States...... In the future, it can open the European region, the national region, the Japanese region, the Korean region, and even the Indian region and other regions.
Isn't this money going to have to come in an uproar?
Abin: I think I need a little time to calm down.
A cloud of smoke and rain: It's good to get used to it slowly, and when the military training is over, just go and get the things I explain to you first.
A cloud of smoke and rain: There are a lot of opportunities in Kyoto, and you are the only person I know over there for the time being, so our brothers won't say anything about the scene, if you want to see a different world above your head, then get used to it as soon as possible.
Abin: I just felt all of a sudden, Xu Xing, you have changed so much, I feel a little unreal across QQ.
I'm sorry, I only like women, and if you have any misunderstanding, then I'll apologize to you first.
Abin: ...... You can't talk to you seriously!
As if he was afraid that Xu Xing would really misunderstand, Li Zhibin hurriedly added another sentence.
Abin: Lao Tzu only likes women!
Just when Xu Xing was chatting and teasing Li Zhibin, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Lu Pengyou walked towards the door while playing with the fruit assassin, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard the people outside hand out a leaflet with a smiling face, and said: "Hello junior, we are from the Work-Study Department of the Student Affairs Center, this is our leaflet, if you need to ......"
Lu Pengyou didn't listen to it at all, nodded impatiently and took the leaflet, and after the people finished speaking, he closed the door, walked back to the chair and crumpled the leaflet in his hand directly into a ball and threw it into the trash.
"What's it this time again?" Xu Xing heard the movement and turned his head to ask.
"Didn't you hear me, do you want to see it?" Lu Pengyou lowered his head and chopped melons and vegetables, and asked.
"No, just ask."
In recent days, various departments and clubs have come to the freshman dormitory building to sweep the building to publicize, and Xu Xing and they are almost annoyed to death.
I have probably taken more than 20 copies of the leaflets alone, and there are even more cheeky propagandists who pull them to add QQ.
At the beginning, Lu Pengyou was quite fresh, but after listening to it too much, unless it was a beautiful senior sister who came to sweep the building, he wouldn't be too lazy to take a look.
It didn't take long for Zhang Nong to return from the teacher's office.
Lu Pengyou asked with concern, "What's the matter?" Is there a play? ”
"It should be fine." Zhang Nong scratched his head, "Teacher Wu said that my mother's income is not enough to meet the standard of extremely poor students, but first-class poor students can still apply." ”
"What's the difference?" Lu Pengyou was stunned, he didn't understand the difference.
"The extremely poor students are all families who basically have no source of income, and they can be directly exempted from tuition, and then there will be a subsidy of 5,000 yuan every year." Zhang Nong said honestly, "First-class poor students can be exempted from half of the tuition fee, and they can have a subsidy of 4,000 yuan per year, which is also very good." ”
"That's okay." When Lu Pengyou heard this, he nodded with a little satisfaction, "I thought I wouldn't be able to make it." ”
"The teacher is quite good." Zhang Nong said seriously, "He said that he would help me apply for the special poverty students first, because the quota may not be used up every year, and if there are more, I still have a chance." ”
"And the subsidy for students in extreme poverty is the fastest, and it is estimated that the process will be completed in one month."
"If you are a first-class poor student, you will have to wait about two to three months to get the subsidy."
"I'm not in a hurry right now, though." Zhang Nong said this, his heart was relatively stable, "If the tuition fee is halved, my own money will be enough to pay, and there will be a subsidy of 4,000 yuan per year in the future, plus the money given by the family, it should be no problem to finish college." ”
Hearing this, Xu Xing, who was operating the computer, was also a little relieved.
After all, Min University is a famous university, at least there is nothing wrong with the bursary for poor students, and most of the more difficult students like Zhang Nong can get the help they deserve, so there is no need for Xu Xing to worry about it.
Yuan Chengqiu: I'm near Min University, are you free with Vinegar Vinegar for the past two days? When I finish reading the addresses you gave, let's come out and rub them off?
When the military training was about to start in the afternoon, Xu Xing received a message from Yao Yuanyuan.
Looking at the military training schedule released in the class group, Xu Xing replied.
A cloud of smoke and rain: Wait for the evening of the 30th, there was no evening training that night.
Yuan Chengqiu: OKOK, what do you say about the office location? If I see something I am satisfied with, I will settle down directly?
A cloud of smoke and rain: I have a few requirements, to meet the work needs of less than 30 people, close to the subway and other means of transportation, and then close to Min Da, you can do the rest.
Round into a ball: 30 people? Are you sure?
I'm already preparing for recruitment, and when the Fruit Assassin has a complete foothold in the United States, we still have to set our sights on China.
A cloud of smoke: I don't just have a Fruit Assassin project on my mind.
At the moment, Xu Xing does not have the ability to control a relatively large game project, so he can only choose some lightweight games as much as possible.
With the cash flow support of Fruit Assassin, it is completely possible to have five or six people or seven or eight people as a small team, with Xu Xing in charge of the overall planning and carrying out multiple projects at the same time.
A team of 30 people, excluding the necessary logistics, finance, administration, marketing and other positions, can probably pull up three to four small teams, which is almost the same in Xu Xing's opinion.
Without Xu Xing, he always feels a loss, and if he has more, he probably can't manage it, this amount should be just right.
Once the Fruit Assassin is officially on the right track, then it will be time for Tianshu Studio and Qunxing Company to usher in a real period of rapid expansion.
