Chapter 430: The Process of Making Money Makes Me Happy
Cheng Yixiao grabbed her hair and widened her apricot eyes.
"Mom?"
Cheng Yixiao was in a trance and found that it was not a dream, or the natural reflex arc was a little long, and she was surprised to find that the surrounding layout was actually real?
Who's having a birthday?
Birthday, these two words don't mean much to poor families.
Cheng Yixiao remembered that she got a five-yuan vegetable cream cake when she was very young, and later Xia Chuan gave her a gift, but she never had a birthday again, so that she forgot what her birthday was, so even if she saw it, she didn't think it in her heart, let alone think about it.
I haven't looked forward to it, so how can I have an idea?
However, as soon as her front feet landed, a ceremonial flower bloomed above her head on her back feet.
"Happy birthday."
"Happy Birthday+!"
“Happy birthday!”
Cheng Yixiao's eyes flashed with tears of shock and emotion, mixed feelings, this moment was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness, her moist lips were trembling slightly, and she couldn't believe that everything in front of her was true.
Zun Du fake Duo...
Today... Is it my birthday!?
A group of people suddenly popped out of the corner, and Lan Xue'er happily ran over and gave Cheng Yixiao a hug.
"Xiaoxiao, happy birthday!"
"This is a gift we picked up for you, don't dislike it."
"Actually, we wanted to tell you a long time ago, but your brother said that he wanted to surprise you, so he let us come secretly."
After the girl finished speaking, a trace of astonishment flashed in Lan Xue'er's eyes, and she took a special look at Jiang He, who was standing not far away, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Anyway, happy birthday." ”
She knew that Cheng Yixiao and Boss Xia were not related by blood.
Boss Xia's girlfriend is also here today, some words are better to say less, she really served these few roommates who are in love, and she doesn't know how to look at the atmosphere when she speaks?
At this time, Jiang He reminded: "Happy birthday, I don't know if you like these gifts or not." ”
"Thank you..."
Cheng Yixiao was surprised that Jiang He was also there, knowing that it was Xia Chuan who informed her, and the little hatred for her in her heart also dissipated.
In the past, she always felt that Jiang He had robbed Xia Chuan.
Now she felt that Xia Chuan was born a bad seed, and Jiang He was the victim, and suddenly understood.
"You're welcome, remember to call me on your next birthday."
Jiang He reminded with a smile, she is also Cheng Yixiao's sister-in-law, right?
Cheng Yixiao responded: "Hmm." ”
Immediately after that, she looked at Xia Chuan, who was standing next to Xia Guangxue, with affection, but immediately hid it again: "Dad..."
"Hmm."
Xia Guangxue responded, with an old father-like smile on his face, but his heart chuckled.
Oops.
Although he was honest, he was not stupid, and he glanced at Xia Chuan who was standing next to him...
At this time, Li Mei brought out a cake with the word happy birthday from the kitchen, the shape is a black swan, extremely beautiful, she heard that this small piece of cake costs more than 2,000, what is it called a black swan, the cake is as beautiful as the name, the price is also very beautiful, so beautiful that ordinary people can't afford it.
"Xiaoxiao, happy birthday."
Li Mei didn't give Cheng Yixiao any decent birthday, firstly, the family is poor and does not have such a concept of birthday at all, it is a year after a year, when Cheng Yixiao was a child, he watched other people's birthdays, crying and shouting, so he bought a small cake, and later...
It never happened since.
Thinking of this, Li Mei felt very guilty, so she also wanted to make up for it, and she was also a hundred in favor of Xia Chuan's idea.
"Mom..."
Cheng Yixiao choked up and walked over and got into Li Mei's arms.
Li Mei hugged her distressedly: "Ouch, why are you still crying, silly girl, I forgot my birthday, and I blame me..."
Xia Chuan hugged his arms and reminded: "Sing a birthday song first, and then blow out the candles and make a wish." ”
Xia Guangxue took out a lighter and lit the candle.
A warm music sounds, the song of blessings is sent, and a new life is next.
Jiang He hugged Xia Chuan's arm and swore the initiative.
Cheng Yixiao didn't care about this, she has now retreated to the next best, as long as Xia Chuan doesn't leave her and doesn't let her leave, she can't rob Jiang He and Xia Qing anyway.
Xia Chuan saw that Cheng Yixiao had also grown a lot.
yes, too,
I'm a sophomore,
You can't just keep ignorant of it, right?
Cheng Yixiao cut such a large and beautiful cake for the first time, but it was a little ugly, no wonder it was embarrassing.
"I'm going to eat chocolate..."
"Do I want to eat black swans?"
"No, Xiaoxiao is the protagonist today, and the black swan wants to give it to her, right?"
"That's it!"
"Senior Sister Jiang, you can eat it too."
"Thank you."
The house was full of joy, and the black swan's cake was not big, not two million, just more than two thousand yuan each, just enough for a few people to take a bite.
I ate it, but I didn't seem to eat it, so I didn't taste anything special.
Jiang He took a look and said: "It's still similar to ordinary cakes, but the shape and brand are expensive." ”
"The consumer group is different."
Xia Chuan smiled: "There is another one worth two million in the Black Swan store. ”
"Huh?"
Jiang He was stunned and very surprised: "What kind of cake does that cake have to be exaggerated?" ”
"Buy you one and take a look?"
"Xia Chuan, although you are rich, you can't be a fool."
Jiang He shook his head hurriedly.
The corners of Xia Chuan's mouth twitched, although he was rich, he was so stupid, just joking.
He pondered, Jiang He couldn't have it.
If you buy two million cakes, you won't eat them, it will take half a month to make them, or this kind of weather, that is, you can take them back and see, of course, there are many such people who will really spend the money of a suite to buy a nine-layer cake.
At the very least, he didn't think it had to be so pompous.
Next is the gift session, where everyone introduces their gifts.
Cheng Yixiao was full of gifts, and she had never been so satisfied, so many that she couldn't hold them.
It's basically related to cosmetics, Lan Xueer and they don't have much money, looking at the Chanel bag, she knows that Jiang He must have bought it, and there is also a set of cosmetics.
This sister-in-law, does she recognize it or not?
She heard her mother say that now Xia Qing is also the boss, if she recognizes both sides, wouldn't she have two rich sisters-in-law...
Cheng Yixiao's scalp is a little itchy, and she seems to be about to grow a brain.
As a result, the road of evolution was forcibly interrupted by Xia Chuan.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about things, what about the gift you gave me?"
Xia Chuan pointed to the door: "It's at the door." ”
Cheng Yixiao got up and walked over to take a look, and what caught her eye was a plum pink car.
She looked at Xia Chuan, then at the car, and then at Xia Chuan in disbelief, and pointed to herself: "Give, is it for me?" ”
"Dad, Aunt Mei and I bought it for you jointly, such a good-looking car is tens of thousands of dollars."
Xia Chuan teased.
Jiang He covered her mouth and chuckled, although she didn't want to admit it, this answer really satisfied her.
Cheng Yixiao didn't listen to it at all, and looked at the car in a daze: "My, my Beetle..."
“?”
“?”
“?”
Lan Xue'er can't wait to drive back for Cheng Yixiao, don't you want to give her charity?
But she forgot one thing, even if she drove back, she might not be able to afford this kind of car.
Xia Chuan said angrily: "Jiang He, why don't you drive back?" ”
"That's not good, although the Beetle is gone, it's also my birthday present."
Cheng Yixiao disagrees with this matter, this is given to her by Xia Chuan, how can my father and mother have the money to buy such a car for her, even if they have money, they will use it to invest in supermarkets, and last time they said that the money was not enough to tell Xia Chuan.
Jiang He reminded: "He's joking with you, otherwise, I'll give you a Beetle." ”
"Well, that's... Then you don't need it. ”
Cheng Yixiao was embarrassed, it seemed that she was unreasonable.
This day is destined to make Cheng Yixiao remember for a long, long time, and it is quite explosive in her life.
……
In the afternoon, after everyone left.
Li Mei also deliberately left a piece of cake in the refrigerator: "Xia Chuan, come over here." ”
"Aunt Mei, what's the matter?"
Xia Chuan leaned over to take a look.
Li Mei reminded: "I deliberately left a piece, you sent it to Aqing at night, and I didn't call her on my birthday, let Xiaoxiao send it with you." ”
"Got it."
Xia Chuan didn't refute.
Li Mei's receptivity is stronger than Lao Xia's, but she doesn't feel good in her heart, she feels guilty, mainly because of her two daughters-in-law, she really doesn't know how to choose, this kind of is simply too torturous, so she simply doesn't favor one over the other.
"Otherwise, you can bring A-Qing over for a meal in the evening and buy another cake."
Li Mei's voice fell, and Xia Guangxue said: "This idea is good, it's close anyway." ”
Xia Chuan listened to the two of you, you and me, and decided the matter, what else could he do as a son?
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Xia Chuan nodded.
didn't go out in the afternoon, Cheng Yixiao drove out with her little sister to play, Xia Chuan also deliberately served as a coach for ten minutes, and then taught her to park in the side direction and reverse into the garage when she was free.
After Lao Xia and Li Mei went out, Xia Chuan got the computer and made a framework of 'Candy Saga'.
This puzzle game, which has been popular in the United States for more than ten years, is simply the specialty of the Little Monster team.
For now, the team can get the job done in a matter of days.
It just so happens that there is time in the 'woo' studio, so I'll give it to them.
Noticing that Ruan Shuning posted a circle of friends, Xia Chuan picked up her mobile phone and called her, caring about her situation in the imperial capital, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, such good conditions and environment, there are few housekeepers in China who can arrange it.
Ruan Shuning is all right, and her life is very comfortable.
Li Huina is very busy, busy recording variety shows, receiving endorsements, screening endorsements, and so on.
Regarding the endorsement, Xia Chuan also contacted the agency and helped her filter it, lest she overturn in the endorsement area and make her character stink, and now is the time for Li Huina to set up a person.
"You're in the company now?"
"I'm resting at home, today Cheng Yixiao rested, gave her a birthday, and now she's alone."
There is no one at home, and Jiang He also went shopping, but isn't he alone.
"Hehe..."
chatted with Ruan Shuning for a while, but Xia Chuan's subordinates were not busy and went back to their old jobs.
In fact, compared to games, Xia Chuan is more keen to spend his time on the development and research of games, first of all, to make more money, and secondly, to get a little sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
The needs of people are completely different from person to person, and he has completely passed the time period of meager pleasure brought by the game, but it is making money to make him happy.
The process of making money, as well as the joy of harvesting fruits, is no less than the strength of gambling.
Xia Chuan knocked a string of code, and the technology is better than before.
Little Monster currently has a lot of games, even if you don't develop games, you will have tens of billions of revenue in the future, which is not an exaggeration at all.
As the saying goes, do a line of love, and now his status not only brings him a sense of superiority, but also a sense of urgency.
So, now I can develop one that is one.
When it comes to games, from mobile games to terminal games, the ability of popular games to attract money should not be underestimated.
Many games in the circle can make a lot of money, but no one could have imagined that a low-difficulty game that can be played from a few years old to fifty or sixty years old can make a lot of triple-A production and terminal games.
For example, the former Candy Crush Saga.
Xia Chuan clearly remembers that at that time, he was surpassed by King, a casual game studio that was not well-known, with a net income of $684 million and an operating income of $385 million.
Looking at the world, it is difficult for any company to surpass King's operating profit margin of 56% and monthly active users of 240 million.
King's victory is based on nothing else, it is a match game called Candy Crush Saga.
Xia Chuan remembered that the whole studio was very confused at that time.
And this game has been launched and has been flourishing for more than ten years.
Xia Chuan wanted to do it a long time ago, but there were too many puzzle games at that time, such as Fruit Master, so he changed his style and taste.
Now pick it up again, the delicacies of the mountains and seas will always be the delicacies of the mountains and seas, even if it is placed here, it is still there.
This is the main force of Blizzard's revenue, which is ignored by everyone.
It's like some web games, it looks like a website, but it's hard for you to imagine that it has a net profit of fifty or sixty million, which is so terrifying, and it seems to be an outdated game, but the turnover is quite terrifying.
Is it feelings?
Of course not, but it does have such a part of the consumer group.
Now ordinary games, ordinary records and results can no longer satisfy him, and he doesn't carry them if they are not boutique games.
What is the concept of this candy saga, which gained 46 million monthly active users and more than $60 million in revenue within six months of landing on Facebook?
Even if the channel fee is deducted, etc., he can make a lot of money within half a year.
But now there is a problem......
His choice difficulty was committed.
Because in addition to the candy saga, there is also a mainstream Happy Match, which is also a hit.
But considering the time problem, he must give priority to Candy Crush Legend, but in this way, the follow-up promotion effect of Happy Pop will definitely be greatly reduced.
Xia Chuan took a deep breath and had already made his choice.
Promote Candy Saga first, and then even if you don't make money, there's no way to do it.
Thinking of this, Xia Chuan picked up the computer and went out, he wanted to go to the company first.
Today is Saturday, but there are still some social animals working overtime.
Xia Chuan didn't let them work overtime, because they were like crazy people, and they were reluctant to rest, because the overtime pay on Saturdays and Sundays was indeed a bit high, and the company's benefits were so good that they didn't want to rest.
No way, that's how game companies are.
