Chapter 36 I Like Burning Money the Most

The place where Yang Huan met Zhu Liangcheng was on the sea-view balcony of the Grand Harbour Hotel.

It is said to be a seascape, but it is actually a riverside. From here, you can see the three-way intersection of the Ichin River and the Test River in the distance.

The view is very wide and the scenery is quite beautiful, it is a good place.

Zhu Liangcheng did not come alone. He brought five people, all of whom were international students from China.

The sea-view balcony is not suitable for gatherings of many people. Each separate area can only seat four people, two single chairs plus a double chair, but Yang Huan, who came early, occupied the double chair by himself, making the Zhu Liangcheng and others are not easy to sit when they come.

"Waiter." Yang Huan beckoned, "Bring the table and chairs over there, let's take a seat, and then give each person the best breakfast in your hotel. By the way, do you drink?"

Zhu Liangcheng and others all shook their heads, and Yang Huan signaled the waiter to do it first.

Soon, the waiters from the two hotels ran over, dismantled the table next door, moved them over, and put them together.

This temporary transformation is fast and efficient.

The Grand Harbour Hotel is the most expensive hotel in Southampton. Zhu Liangcheng and others have heard of it, but they have never been there.

"Master Huan, we..." As soon as Zhu Liangcheng met, he wanted to talk about work.

Yang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, you came so early, you must not have breakfast. Let's eat breakfast first. The breakfast in this hotel is not bad. After you are full, you can talk about work."

Zhu Liangcheng understood Yang Huan's temperament, looked at his companion, and nodded to do as he was.

Yang Huan didn't say much, just took out his phone and played games there.

Since he wants to make mobile games, he must understand the market of mobile games. Even though Yang Huan was very familiar with it in his previous life and had played many popular and sought-after games, he still felt the need to play and pass the time. .

The hotel delivery was very efficient, and it was delivered right away.

Zhu Liangcheng and others did not eat breakfast.

Yang Huan didn't start talking about work until they had all eaten and wiped up and asked the waiter to bring some drinks.

"I want to make a mobile software and several mobile games." Yang Huan said straight to the point.

Sitting next to Zhu Liangcheng was a young man named Wang Lin, with a Chinese face, a beard, and dark skin.

After listening to Yang Huan's words, Wang Lin asked, "I don't know what kind of software and games Master Huan is going to do?"

"Have you heard of WhatsApp?" Yang Huan asked.

"I heard." Almost everyone nodded.

Yang Huan also nodded, "I want to make a mobile phone software similar to his."

Zhu Liangcheng didn't know what Yang Huan was thinking before, but when he heard about it, he immediately shook his head, "Master Huan, although WhatsApp sounds very new, there are only about 2 million users at present. It's been over a year, and the progress is very bad. Eye-catching."

"Yes, Mr. Huan, the investment in this type of mobile phone software is not small, but the output is not clear, and even the future prospects are very confusing." Wang Lin is a software engineer at IBM Research Center and has also been engaged in mobile phone software development. These aspects are quite familiar.

Yang Huan knows better than anyone the future prospects of these software, whether it is WhatsAPP or China's WeChat,

There are quite amazing prospects in the future, and later WhatsApp was later sold for a sky-high price of nearly 20 billion US dollars.

"why?"

Seeing Wang Lin staring at him, Zhu Liangcheng nodded, indicating that he could speak freely.

"Master Huan, first of all, I have to say that the most important thing for this kind of application is not the product development. The simple research and development process is not difficult. At most, a few of us can figure it out in a week. The real problem is, the research and development of similar products before development research."

"On the other hand, this type of application mechanism is very simple and not complicated, but the problem is that it will generate huge data traffic. The more users, the greater the data traffic, and the higher the requirements for the quantity and quality of servers. Surprisingly, this requires a lot of capital investment, but it is difficult to see future earnings prospects.”

At this point, Wang Lin mentioned WhatsApp, "The reason why I say that they are making slow progress is actually because they lack funds. Even if each user charges nearly a dollar, their servers will still be paralyzed. They need to SMS verification costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per month for SMS verification alone.”

"But you know what? Their monthly revenue from this app is tens of thousands of dollars so far, so they need to control the number of users, and once there is money in the account, the app becomes free , once there is no money in the account, it will return to the charging state."

Only then did Yang Huan understand why the progress of WhatsApp users was so slow at the beginning, but later, it developed rapidly in a snowball manner, because they became rich later.

"This is a money-burning game, Master Huan, and it's hard to see the future prospects." Wang Lin felt that he still had to be cautious, and this was not suitable for entrepreneurs.

Who knows, after Yang Huan heard it, he laughed, "Burn money? My favorite thing to do is to burn money!"

This made Zhu Liangcheng, Wang Lin and others stunned.

"Just don't go to research, just do what I think and what I say. You can get me what I want. As for the money issue, you don't need to worry about it. Is it just burning money? I can afford it!"

Wang Lin almost lost his eyeballs. He had heard of big local tyrants, but he had never heard of local tyrants like this.

This investment is not simply hundreds of thousands or millions, but tens of millions of dollars?

"I've seen your resumes, and it's not bad. How much is your salary in the original company? I'm here as usual, and you don't need to do research. Just follow my requirements and ideas to make an app. If I make it within a week, if I am satisfied, not only will there be a bonus, but the salary will double directly.”

Is there such a good thing?

Wang Lin and the others looked at Zhu Liangcheng in astonishment, isn't this Kai Zi?

Without asking for anything in return, you directly promise others such generous conditions?

If Yang Huan was not the new boss of Southampton, if they hadn't learned that Yang Huan was the crown prince of the Yang Group in China, they would have thought that they had encountered a lunatic or a liar.

"I want to make an app similar to WhatsApp, but I want to make it more interesting, my service is better than it, it charges, then I'm free, everyone can download and use it, and I want We have set up servers all over the world to ensure the quality of our services, and even, I am going to do some promotions during the festivals.”

They charge you for free, not to mention, but also to engage in promotions.

My God, this is not a fool, what is money coming so fast?

"If you need someone, just dig and find them. I want to see the effect in the shortest possible time."

Wang Lin winked at Zhu Liangcheng, "How is it?"

"Never mind, we just make money and work." Zhu Liangcheng raised his brows.

When Wang Lin thought about it, he was right. Anyway, he was just working to earn money, so if he had a salary, there would be no problem.

"Okay, Master Huan, we agree."

"Okay!" Yang Huan praised, he likes to be neat.

Zhu Liangcheng asked again at this time, "Master Huan, you said you were going to make a mobile game before, but you don't know what you're going to do?"

"A piece of rope hangs a brightly colored candy, and a chubby, cute little monster crouches underneath. The user swipes the touch screen to cut the rope and let the candy fall into the mouth of the little monster accurately. Pass it."

"It's that simple?" A tall man next to him laughed, how could this be considered a game?

Yang Huan laughed, shook his head and said, "Is it very simple?"

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin thought it was very simple when they first heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, the article here is huge.

Yang Huan also said that it is a rope, which means that many levels of different difficulty can be designed.

Cutting the rope is very simple, even a child can do it. It is easy to get started, but it is not easy to pass the test.

"There is also a game where a person is running away, and some demons are chasing him behind him. Once he is caught up, he is dead, so he can only keep running forward, and it is getting faster and faster. Fast, and the user is using the gyroscope in the phone or swiping the screen with his hand to help him change direction and avoid obstacles when he is fleeing."

When Wang Lin and Zhu Liangcheng heard this, they were really dumbfounded.

It's the same as cutting the rope. It's very simple and easy to learn, but the more you play, the more difficult it becomes.

This type of game is just for smartphones!

My goodness, what is the structure of Young Master Huan's head?

How could some of his random ideas be so amazing?

If a few of my own had such an idea back then, the entrepreneurship would not have failed like this!

Really more popular than dead people!

"Well, I thought of two for the time being. These two games should be released as soon as possible. I want to take them for free and release them on Apple's store now, and then promote them to various smartphone platforms."

"It's free again?" Zhu Liangcheng found it hard to accept.

Why does this young master Huan think it's free?

Mobile game development without money? Employee salary without money?

Could it be that he has too much money and feels uncomfortable in his pocket? Why don't you just give us a little bit?

"Yes, it's still free!" Yang Huan nodded firmly.

Yang Huan has always believed that free plus in-app purchases is a major development trend of mobile games, because only free can build a huge audience, and among the audience, some users with spending power will naturally choose to consume.

At least, most of the games he played in his previous life were free with in-app purchases.

And how many users you can attract for in-app purchases depends on your ability.

So this time he also decided to play like this.

But I was thinking in my heart that if I made such a big deal, I guess I would have to write a threatening letter to my dad and ask him to invest more money.

When Yang Huan remembered his father, Yang Wenfeng, who was far away in Longhai City, had just returned home from get off work, and as soon as he entered the door, he sneezed, causing Yang Huan's mother to keep nagging.

"Someone must be talking bad about me behind my back, otherwise I've been fine all day, and suddenly I sneezed."

"Bullshit, when did you become so superstitious?" Yang Huan's mother laughed and scolded.

Yang Baoping also gave his son a sideways glance, "That is, how can you say that you are also an old Communist Party member, this kind of feudal superstition is unacceptable."

Facing his father, Yang Wenfeng didn't dare to be presumptuous, and immediately laughed embarrassingly.

At this moment, the phone rang, and it was the call of his son Yang Huan from the UK.

Yang Wenfeng was proud at first sight, "Look, I said, there must be a problem, this kid called me suddenly, it must be because of him!"

Jokes aside, he still connected his son's phone immediately.
