Chapter 165 Qingbao Promises Me Not to Be a Female Turtle!
"...What? Did he come to talk to you before?...Oh, what happened next?...Well, he was scared off by the offer? Hahaha, that's normal...Does he really think that our SE handheld machine makes a lot of money? Money..."
"Okay, okay... Mr. Gao is busy first. Let's meet up later and have a meal and chat... Okay, don't worry, I will definitely mention it to the headquarters by then. In the past two months, At least I’ll give you an additional 2 million orders...Okay, hang up."
After hanging up the phone, CN·SE, the general manager of Yinhui, Zhu Yue, finally showed a determined smile.
After a month passed.
It has become a foregone conclusion that "Cute" will lose to "Teamfight Tactics".
After the sales skyrocketed on the first day, the shortcomings of "Cute" soon became apparent.
As a game that completely serves Kryptonians, its positioning was actually almost uncontroversial before "Genting" was released.
After all, it doesn’t matter how much I draw, as long as you don’t play, it’s okay?
You'd better stay out of our mobile game Krypton guy's affairs!
Furthermore, if you say that "Ji Meng" is bad, just open your eyes and look at the current paid mobile game market.
Are there any that are not black?
It can make you feel comfortable while lying down, isn't that enough fun?
But after "Genting" became a hit.
Because of the comparison.
The ugly eating scenes of "Exciting Cuteness" finally surfaced.
It is obvious that some interesting gameplay can be made, but all these interesting contents are attached to krypton gold. Krypton guys are completely winners in life, while ordinary people are like cotton machines waiting to be whipped.
On the other hand, "Genting" has no charging threshold at all in terms of gameplay mechanism. All gameplay and fun are presented without reservation. It can bring joy and leisure to everyone without charging players a penny.
Comparing the two, the gap is as big as clouds and mud.
Although there was no reaction from Ready Player One during this battle, there was not even the slightest mention or reflection of "Exciting Cuteness" on the official blog or the personal Weibo posts of senior employees from beginning to end.
But Yinhui began to take the initiative to fight and build momentum from the moment "Genting" ended.
Deliberately pick up the rhythm.
Now he is getting scolded all over.
Of course, it cannot be said that Zhu Yue's decision was completely wrong.
In fact, even if "Ji Meng" doesn't take the initiative to touch "Genting" this time,
It's only a matter of time before players compare the two. One is 'making the storm more violent' and the other is 'boiling a frog in warm water'
It's just that Zhu Yue chose the former and decisively broke off the group.
But the end result is the same.
And the trauma caused by the failure of this battle was also huge.
The sales of "Cute" began to plummet after half a month.
This game can almost only rely on kryptonians to survive, but its core is still inseparable from civilian players.
In the past, we had no choice. If we didn’t like to play PC games, we would just use the fragments of time to play mobile games. If we wanted to play games to kill time, what other options were there besides being tortured by kryptonians?
The strategy of "Exciting Cuteness", which uses one slap in the face and two pieces of candy, worked well in the past.
Now that "Genting" comes out, the People's Democratic Party is no longer used to it.
Run it all away.
And Krypton Guy wouldn't be happy without his sandbags.
The daily activity of the game is naturally falling lower and lower.
In addition, Yinhui's other games, including other krypton-heavy mobile game manufacturers, have also been affected to some extent.
This impact does not only come from "Genting"
There are also some small factories that are also trying to change the game landscape.
After all, with the popularity of Ready Player One in PC games, some small mobile game companies will murmur in their hearts and want to replicate this "people-friendly route"
But I can't decide the consequences.
Therefore, many games have been completed at the beginning of this year, but they have been hesitating and thinking about whether to release them.
The result is now better.
"Genting" immediately lit up the fire.
What a hesitation.
Big brother is taking the lead in the charge, let's go too!
Ever since.
During the month when "Genting" became very popular.
Many small game companies began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
They all have one characteristic in common.
Weak krypton gold, emphasis on gameplay.
Although in the field of mobile phones, it is not easy to make a game truly rich and interesting.
But once the consumption ratio of krypton gold is reduced, a lot of gameplay that was originally buried will slowly surface.
Even take the most common turn-based type in Blue Star as an example.
In the past, it was necessary to use heavy krypton to obtain some noble skill attributes, but now after a heavy blow, it is necessary to use krypton to gain some noble skills and attributes.
More skill attributes will evolve into a kind of decision point.
In the past, you had to top up money if you couldn't beat it, but now even if you can't beat it, you can roll the dice to 6 to trigger a super kill, or roll the dice to 1 to get struck by lightning. This is more fun than "unlocking it with krypton gold" many.
For small factories, the intensity of krypton gold has been reduced, but they have found that they are making more money than before.
Players are having fun playing, and you don’t need to emphasize it from the manufacturer. He will just spend some money on a whim to buy the skins he likes, or buy some pretty good strengthening skills.
"Genting" can only be regarded as a trigger for changes in mobile games, and many small game manufacturers are willing to change, and players are also willing to buy into it, which shows that everyone in this era urgently needs a game change.
But this change is not what gaming capital wants to see.
In particular, the changes in mobile games are coming so fast and gaining momentum so fiercely that they even abruptly interrupted several projects that Yinhui was working on that focused on mobile games.
This makes SE's major shareholders unhappy.
What kind of stinky fish is Ready Player One?
A second-rate guy I've never heard of before.
Why did our mobile terminal suddenly suffer a heavy blow?
If he continues to stir things up like this, the players' hard-earned habit of paying heavily will be ruined.
This is true, but how to restrict the number one player has become a problem.
The mobile side boycotted Ready Player One and refused to promote his game.
To be honest, this thing is just enough to scare laymen.
Ready Player One has an official website on PC and is working on a dedicated client for Ready Player One.
There is also an APP such as "Number One Intelligence" on the mobile phone port.
It seems that his family doesn't really need the channels of our brothers...
Zhu Yue was originally worried that he would not have a chance to attack the number one player.
result.
This silly boy came to your door by himself!
He is actually going to enter the handheld market!
Judging from his posture, it seems that he wants to fight with us SE on the handheld device?
When Zhu Yue heard the news, the dark circles under his eyes caused by not sleeping well for three days and three nights in a hurry immediately disappeared with laughter.
no.
You top gamers don’t think that our SE handheld console is really bad, right?
Although the Slover series has indeed been squeezed into toothpaste-like iterations.
But our configuration is really not low.
At a price of just over 3,000, the performance is comparable to mobile phones priced at 5K.
In addition to not being as comprehensive as the functions of mobile phones, our game rendering and performance benchmarks can pull some 3D works transplanted from PC, and can stabilize up to 60 frames.
What kind of handheld device are you trying to play with me?
Do you really think that our SE handheld console is pure trash, and that anyone can come over and step on us?
At the price of 3K, you can choose whatever you like. If you can match our soon-to-be-released Slover13, we will lose!
And the reality was just as Zhu Yue expected.
Judging from the call description of a Futukang executive with whom I have a fairly good personal relationship.
The number one player has indeed approached Futukang and Baoji Microelectronics in the past week.
Talked about the cooperation business of foundry.
But they were all shocked by the single-machine quotation starting at 1,500+.
Zhu Yue captured a message from it.
Obviously, according to the always friendly line of the boss Ke Jin, the number one player's expectation is not to make a high-end machine with "performance first", so it is restrained by this cost price.
That's it, not counting the technical support of the chip.
And based on this quotation, if their number one player makes a console, they want to compete with big manufacturers like SE, except for the fact that the game itself is fun.
The machine must also have a discount on price.
After all, "Genting" can defeat "Ji Meng" not only in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of cost-effectiveness.
This is true for pure games, not to mention substantial electronic devices.
In other words, the only selling price space left for the top players is the lower range of 2000~2500.
For electronic products, only if the price is more than 500 yuan lower will users assume that your performance is lower than the mainstream machines on the market.
If you are one or two hundred less, users will think you are doing a promotion.
And if the number one player doesn't dare to compete with Slover13 on the 3K track.
The configuration of this gear is around 2000.
At most, the camera can only run at 720P image quality with a stable 30 frames.
What concept?
In today's era of extreme image quality, 1K is everywhere, 2K is available in every home, and 4K is gradually becoming more and more popular.
720P is already the tear of the times. If you zoom in a little, it will become a mosaic.
After all, if the scale of the game is slightly larger, the rendering will not be able to keep up and the frames will start to drop.
As for 30 frames...it's just enough for a person to see the number of frames that can be seen by the naked eye.
In other words, it can only make the player see the picture as coherent. You can see an NPC raising his hand in front of you, but you can clearly feel that it is a splicing of multiple sets of actions, which is not smooth enough.
Once you enter scenes of running, sharp turns, fighting, and high-detail support, the frame drops will be disastrous.
Not to mention the mainstream car, gun and ball games of many European and American game manufacturers, which often give you big explosion scenes that will make the graphics card drink a pot from time to time.
Perform these scenes with explosive details at a frame rate of 30 frames.
It can only be said that the fluency is not as good as reading comic books.
Moreover, with a budget of around 2K, the memory will not exceed 6G, and it will be highly dependent on cartridges, leaving no extra space for players to store other game data.
Do all the math.
Zhu Yue does not believe that Kejin can win and beat SE's upcoming Slover 13 on the handheld track.
"Do you really think our SE handheld is just for cutting leeks?" After Zhu Yue hung up the phone, he made some calculations in his mind and suddenly felt that he had a winning chance.
The Slover series of handheld consoles don't make much money. The main way to make money is through the bundled games themselves.
"Young people are really impulsive when it comes to things."
"It's okay now, you can let out the harsh words yourself."
"I want to see, if our CN·SE is still doing well after the release of Slover13, but your number one player's new handheld console has a mediocre response, how will we face this wave of backlash? I’m afraid the person leaving is not your number one player.”
Zhu Yue once again clicked on Ke Jin's interview a while ago.
Looking at the young face in the video, who vowed to make bold statements such as 'Drive out the sick SEs and leave the Chinese game market', the more I looked at it, the more I felt like a clown.
Just you?
How come you can't even negotiate with a foundry?
Or is it pricing based on the fact that 3K has no price advantage and 2K has no performance advantage?
Zhu Yue couldn't help but feel like laughing.
"When the time comes, it will be very exciting to see you crawling away from the handheld market without saying a word in embarrassment, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, that's really exciting."

"This company is so disgusting!"
Yuan Qiaoqing's boudoir.
At this time, she was casually lying on the bed in cool clothes, chatting on a voice call with her best friend.
Maybe he felt aggrieved by recent events.
Yuan Qiaoqing couldn't help but complain to her best friend.
Immediately, my best friend commented, "How disgusting."
"Who says it's not the case! I've paid so much for this company, and I'm the number one fan! But my account was blocked... The company kept delaying it and didn't even give me an explanation. Alas, some I'm tired." Yuan Qiaoqing's nose twitched slightly, and her eyes quickly turned red.
I don’t know why, I wasn’t that aggrieved at first, but after complaining to my best friend, I started to feel like losing my little pearl.
The main reason is that the efforts have not been rewarded.
Not even talking about equal returns.
This is simply repaying kindness with hatred!
Your Ready Player One game is doing well, but how can you treat your fans like this?
This lady is really angry to death!
"The bad behavior of the number one player is like a scumbag. He calls you here and there when he needs you, and kicks you away when he doesn't need you. He is so cold and heartless!" The best friend continued to express her dissatisfaction to appease Yuan Qiao. A slightly wounded mind.
"Yeah! That's right!" Yuan Qiaoqing thought about it, and it was indeed true, so he nodded.
"It is recommended that you stay away from this company completely. You, don't be a fan of that Lao Shizi Gengbao. He is really not worthy of our Qingbao. Isn't he just a game maker? With your conditions, what high-quality products Can't find a man? A Middle Eastern prince with a piece of cloth on his head, as long as you nod, your father can arrange a blind date for you."
"Ah? Is my family so rich?" Yuan Qiaoqing was startled.
She always thought that her family had a little money and had no worries about food and drink, but she had never asked how much she could earn every year.
And Lao Deng seemed to dislike talking about the company's success in front of her.
Because it was obtained by sacrificing time with my family for more than ten years.
Mentioning the company in front of outsiders may bring a glow of pride on the face.
But in front of his daughter, looking at that innocent face, Yuan Wencheng was really speechless.
"...You, have you underestimated the value of your "Dongzhi Technology" as one of the top 20 companies in the world... Top 20, my light treasure! Google only has 17 users all over the world, sister! "My best friend replied rather helplessly.
Although my best friend's family is also from a wealthy family, after all, she and Yuan Qiaoqing grew up in an integrated private aristocratic school, so their backgrounds are not much different.
But if my best friend’s family business can even be listed among the Fortune 500 companies in the world, it’s considered a big deal.
Compared with a top-notch young lady like Yuan Qiaoqing, she would be turned into scum in seconds.
Moreover, "Dongzhi Technology", as a top group in the field of AI intelligence, has immeasurable prospects.
My best friend can’t figure it out even if she thinks about it.
Such a rich young lady who grew up in a honeypot.
Why did you suddenly fall in love with a game designer who looked very down-and-out?
And the most bloody thing is.
Hell, the two of them haven't even met.
Not even a word passed.
Even that scumbag doesn't know my light baby!
Good guy, online love is tied by a thread, whoever falls in love first will ascend to heaven, right?
"I sincerely recommend that you just play his games and don't be infatuated with people like this who have no future." My best friend advised her earnestly.
"Oh..." In this regard, Yuan Qiaoqing's agreement seemed a little unpleasant.
She couldn't explain what her feelings for Ke Jin were.
But she could clearly feel that the games Ke Jin brought to Blue Star players contained his infinite love for the players.
In terms of krypton gold, they really take great care of civilian players! You can get almost any gaming experience without spending any money!
He also created one legend after another in the game industry, and many game types were established through his hands.
For such a person, you would say he is ordinary.
Yuan Qiaoqing might not agree.
"Really, you listen to me, Qingbao. Could it be that I have harmed you since we were kids? You should wake up from this incident. People don't know you, even if they do, this kind of It's too weird to "take the initiative to show kindness but treat someone with a ban". It is recommended not to get close to them, as they will become unfortunate."
"Okay..." Yuan Qiaoqing thought carefully.
I feel like I've never been well received by Ready Player One.
In the previous "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", my efforts were seen by so many players.
He didn't give himself any thanks afterwards, not even a word of verbal thanks.
Now "Genting" is even more banned.
It's really...sigh.
Somewhat disappointed.
"Okay, let's hook up. You can play games in the future, but don't contribute a penny to this company, okay? Let alone engraving the front and back every day. Believe me, except for you, there are no friends around you. Everyone wants to hear his story. Every one of us has shown him his wealth thousands of times." While talking, my best friend sent another emoji of a hook on WeChat.
"Hmm..." Yuan Qiaoqing continued to hesitate with his eyes on the hook emoticon.
At this moment.
A flash message suddenly popped up on her phone.
It’s the Weibo account she pays special attention to, and its ID is - Ready Player One Chief Designer KJ
She clicked on this post almost subconsciously.
When the Weibo post came into view, Yuan Qiaoqing's eyes suddenly widened subconsciously, and her pink lips opened slightly involuntarily.
"Wow... He apologized to me, unblocked me, and even gave me a... exclusive skin for Goose and Duck. The name of the skin is Big Goose Sauce!" Yuan Qiao said softly for a moment. Excited!
"..." One sentence left my best friend speechless.
"No, Qingbao, I bought you a limited exclusive skin? Just a light apology? The number one skin player can make hundreds or thousands of them if he just wants to. And is there a possibility that he is because The situation has gotten too big and I can't control it, so I apologize to you as a player, not to you as a girl, do you understand?"
"But...he has never apologized to other players before." Yuan Qiaoqing recalled.
Found out there really isn't.
He seems to be the first person to be apologized to by the number one player.
"Oh, I'm speechless... Didn't we just agree that this Ke Jin is like a scumbag, using you when he needs you, and kicking you away when he doesn't need you anymore." The best friend was afraid that Yuan Qiaoqing would be there again. He started to get sick and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"But, but, I think your metaphor is not appropriate. All my actions are voluntary, and they are not forced by him... I don't even think he knows about it, so there is no way to say that he kicked me. Kick it away."
"That's not what you just said, okay! Oh, it's hopeless." The best friend let out a long sigh: "Qingbao, promise me not to be a female tortoise, okay? You get nothing by licking a dog, and the only outcome of a female licking a dog is It will be even worse, and in the end both people and money will be lost.”
"Can't he take me with him to make a lot of money and gain both fame and fortune... No, that's all nonsense. I'm determined not to be a dog licker. I'm just seeking truth from facts!" Yuan Qiaoqing was said to be a dog licker, and she immediately became unhappy. .
lick?
Where did I lick it?
What did I do that looked like I was licking him?
Be funny!
"Okay, pragmatic Qingbao, from now on you can play games normally. The number one player can develop how he likes. You just need to be an ordinary player and support him normally. Don't use your 'in the name of the father' ability." Go help him, is that okay? The lesson you learned last time was not deep enough? Do you have to let him do it again before you can face the facts? "
"Don't worry! I know my own rules about this!" As Yuan Qiaoqing spoke, he stood up from the bed.
A pair of white and tender little feet were stuffed into cute rabbit slippers, and they clacked all the way to the computer desk.
Quickly log in to the official website of Ready Player One to see if it is really unblocked.
Sure enough, it’s done!
However, it was too late.
Just like what my best friend said.
I don’t want to be a bitch!
Every time I watch the news, those girls who are licking dogs are so pitiful. In the end, they are deceived by the scumbag and are left with nothing. How miserable.
Is my Qingbao that stupid?
No! Can! able!
Suddenly, a highlighted private email popped up.
[Dear players of 'Big Goose Stewed in an Iron Pot', we are deeply sorry for the impact on your game experience due to operational errors within the company. We hereby issue you an exclusive 20% off consumption coupon for Number One Player. You can enjoy 20% off by recharging in any game.

Scan its contents at a glance.
Yuan Qiaoqing's eyes suddenly grew bigger and bigger, and her pupils were trembling slightly.
Immediately, a luster burst out bit by bit like flowers blooming in spring.
Her delicate little face was also filled with incomparable joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise upwards.
His bright eyes curved into crescent moons.
"He didn't do this right... and then there was that thing... So, to sum up, you understand what I mean, listen to my sister's advice, really don't." The best friend on the other end of the phone was still going on. Focus on ideological education.
But the next moment, I heard an extremely excited scream coming from the phone, which almost burst my best friend's eardrums.
"Ahh! Brother Shezi sent me a private message! He said he would give me a 20% discount! And it is exclusive to my account! He didn't even announce it, but told me quietly! It means that this privilege is given to me It’s full!! Sure enough, I knew he had me in his heart!”
"I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to see if Brother Shezi needs help in the company recently! I'll see if I can contact Lao Deng to help him!!"
After that, he quickly hung up the phone.
The confused bestie was left behind, listening to the sound of 'beep, beep, beep' coming from the phone.
It took a long time to react.
"Damn... you two are so matched! I suggest you lock up with that bitch! A pair of bitches who don't act according to common sense!" The best friend gritted her teeth, hating that iron is not the same as steel.
For a book to be well-written, the foreshadowing part is essential.
If some things that need to appear later have been mentioned before, then there will be no sense of surprise when they appear later.
so.
Let me first lay the groundwork today for asking for leave on the 19th. If there is really no update on the 19th, you shouldn’t be surprised, right?
(The finals on the 19th! It’s only once a year. I can’t help but ask for leave, brothers! Please ask for leave three days in advance!)
