Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 581 Smartphone research and development; Tian Wenwen suspects that someone hacked her pocket money

throughout November.

Tian Moyun was hardly active online.

Except for the release of "My Brother President", which made his topic level rise again, there is basically nothing else.

after all--

No new games, no new products, no new books, no new songs, no news that can ignite the topic, it is difficult to be on the trending search.

Tian Moyun is not obsessed with hot searches.

It's just right not to be on the trending search, he himself is a little "hot search fatigue", so he just needs to be quiet if he is not on the trending search.

……

Tian Moyun took the time to inquire about the sales of "My Brother President".

After all, it's my sister's book, I have to understand it, lest when the other party asks, he doesn't know anything, as if he doesn't care at all, and the girl will get angry again...

The sales of "My Brother President" are not bad.

It will be released on April 4, and the sales records for two weeks will be sorted out on April 14.

A total of 14 days, 27 sets were sold, each set contains two volumes, a total of 30 yuan.

27 sets, and the revenue reached 810 million yuan!

Of course, this cannot be compared with those traditional bestsellers.

But... with the sales data of nearly 30 sets, looking at the traditional novel publishing industry, it can be regarded as relatively successful.

"My Brother CEO" is an online novel, and it is also the first work of a college student. If the published book can sell so much, what is there to doubt?
This result is enough to completely block the public opinion on the Internet.

As for whether it will lose money?

It's not impossible to lose money, but it's definitely not enough to make too much money.

This book will only be sold for 30 days, and the marketing and promotion will stop after the end of the first month, and it will basically not be sold later.

Unless Tian Wenwen can write a hit book in the future, and then indirectly drive the sales of the previous book, but this is obviously not within the scope of consideration.

It can be said that the 30-day sales volume is roughly the entire sales volume of this book.

"There will be another push in the second half of the month, but the sales volume is not expected to change much, and it will be difficult to break through 40 sets."

Li Qiuya thought about writing the report: "My idea is that when publishing the publication data of this book, only the revenue and sales volume will be announced, and the profit will not be announced..."

"..."

Tian Moyun was thoughtful.

Li Qiuya's meaning is obvious.

"My Brother CEO" can achieve such an "ideal" sales volume, all because of the horrible marketing and promotion costs.

If the specific profit is announced, I am afraid the data will not be very good.

To put it bluntly, it is a bit similar to making money at a loss.

think about it--

Hundreds of thousands of units were sold in the first month, and the revenue exceeded tens of millions. However, the net profit may only be a few hundred thousand, and it may even be reversed...

Can this profit still be seen?
"can."

Tian Moyun thought for a while, and replied: "It's almost enough. If the income is low, there is no need to push it hard. The current data is enough. In addition, don't tell Tian Wenwen about the marketing costs. You can pay as much as you want. It's business."

Li Qiuya returned an "OK" gesture.

……

The mediocre April passed, like a very old salted fish.

May is coming with unlimited vitality, and in the new January, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

People all over the world say: Busy people are the most fulfilled and happy, and they can feel the meaning of their existence.

However, Tian Moyun felt that when he was busy, he would only be exhausted, and if he wanted to lie down, he would not experience happiness at all.

He hasn't been this busy in a long time.

Throughout April—

The three games "Counter-Strike", "Fantasy Westward Journey", and "Havoc in Heaven" all need to be supervised and reviewed, lest they develop something different from what they want.

In addition to the first time, there is also [Thunder R&D Center].

Many future technological research and development have also reached a critical period, and Tian Moyun spends most of his time in the laboratory.

This is difficult to do.

Fortunately, his "effort" is valuable.

At the beginning of May, there was good news from [Thunder R&D Center] that some core technologies finally had major breakthroughs.

Primarily in the field of mobile devices.

A new generation of mobile chips, higher performance, lower power consumption, and more intelligent temperature control design.

Moreover, it is the world's first dual-core mobile processor, which is full of gimmicks and more practical.

Capacitive screen technology.

Moreover, it is a capacitive screen that meets commercial standards and benign mass production standards.

This thing is very, very advanced in the current era.

How advanced is it?

There is no concept of "touch screen" on the market yet.

It is said that the basis of technology derivation lies in imagination, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, imagination determines everything.

People in this era don't even have the imagination of a "touch screen". How can they make a capacitive screen?

"The hardware field has been fully formed, and there are still many things lacking at the system software level. It will take some time."

Tian Moyun checked the progress information of the entire R&D center.

As early as two years ago, he began to prepare for the development of "smart machines".

Now after more than two years, more than 95% of the research and development have achieved results, only the last step is left.

There is no difficulty in this step, it is just a matter of time.

How should the operating system of a smart machine be designed?
What is the difference between the operating logic of a smartphone and an ordinary mobile phone?
How to coordinate the software and hardware of the smart machine?How to use it?
Tian Moyun already had the answer to all this from the very beginning.

He can develop iOS and Android if he imitates and learns from others. If he is original, there are a large number of standard templates in the system, so it is not a problem.

certainly--

Regardless of mobile phones, computers, or game consoles, in the consumer market, it is not technological strength that determines everything, but the core selling points that interest consumers.

What is the core selling point of a smartphone?

Tian Moyun knew very well that, having experienced the evolution from a functional phone to a smart phone in his previous life, he could almost blurt out countless selling points.

But these still need time to do research and development.

Once the hardware is ready, the software must also keep up.

In addition to life, office, learning software?

And games!

Smartphone games will adopt a lot of new ways to play, and rubbing the screen is also very fun.

Tian Moyun looked forward to how crazy consumers in this parallel world would act when they saw a smartphone.

The miracle of the iPhone in the previous life will now appear on the [Starry Sky Smartphone] in a more exaggerated way.

Of course, this will all take time, but it will happen quickly.

……

Li Tenglong came to Tian Moyun.

While sharing the joy of [Dragon Scale 3] being sold well in the world, I begged Tian Moyun to make a new game.

new game?
Tian Moyun showed him "Havoc in Heaven" which is under development.

Li Tenglong was very happy, thinking that Tian Moyun made a special trip to wish him a helping hand, and kept thanking him.

Tian Moyun was a little ashamed.

He chose to make the game "Havoc in Heaven" because of a sudden inspiration.

What I thought of the most at the time was actually the copyright derivative plan for "Journey to the West IP".

As for helping Li Tenglong?

Ha ha……

Correct!
That's right!

That's what I thought!
No special thanks!

This is what I should do!
Hahaha, who made me enthusiastic and kind!
……

5 month 15 day.

The first month sales of "My Brother CEO" are released.

39.7 sets!

The revenue is 1191 million yuan!

It almost reached 40 sets. This result is extremely high-profile under the deliberate publicity of [Apple Literature Network].

At the same time, those traditional novel writers who had raised doubts also kept their mouths shut.

The sales volume of novels written by many of them is far less than that of "My Big Brother CEO".

How can they question and criticize someone whose first book can crush their years or decades of skill?

[Apple Literature Network] and [Thunder Magazine] both expressed their support on the platform, and many colleagues with good relationships also forwarded and liked it.

This trend has made traditional fiction writers start to pay attention to and restrain themselves. They no longer criticize and show hostility at will, and more people begin to express a friendly attitude.

It's very interesting.

As for the literary circle, it is far from being as grand as outsiders imagined.

There are also dark corners, insidious and cruel intrigues, and the same smell of copper.

The relationship between big bosses is often based on interests as the hub, rather than the "sympathy" that outsiders think.

……

After the end of the first month of the publication of "My Brother CEO".

Tian Wenwen also received a copyright share.

She is the only author who has a sharing agreement among all the contracted authors of 【Apple Literature Network】.

If it were other authors, they would not have much right to speak, so they could only choose to buy it out, either selling it to [Apple Literature] or selling it to other publishing houses.

Of course, 99% of online authors cannot sell their copyrights.

Jingle!

Tian Wenwen's mobile phone text message rang.

When I opened it, it was a text message from the bank.

The general meaning is: your account with the end number xxx in xx bank received a transfer amounting to 86758.5 ​​yuan.

There are zeros and wholes!

Tian Wenwen didn't understand it at first, until she received a message from "Editor-in-Chief Suanmei", saying that the book publishing fee had been issued, and she asked her to pay attention to it.

Only then did she know that the money turned out to be royalties from the publication.

Then--

"I'll go! The revenue is 1191 million, and I'm divided into 8.67. Is it so black?"

Tian Wenwen was shocked.

"My brother, the richest man, must have been so hacked, right?"

She didn't understand what was going on here, and she didn't dare to ask nonsense, she just beeped silently in her heart.

The main reason is that the reality is a little far from the ideal.

jingle jingle--

Fetion message sounded on the mobile phone.

Tian Wenwen opened it and saw that it was a message from the "Apple Senior Writers Group".

Someone shared his book publishing fee in the group, and then a big boss was curious, so he asked Tian Wenwen how much he had received.

"This is..."

Tian Wenwen thought for a while, but instead of answering the other party, she knocked on the small window and said to Su Qiong: "Sister-in-law, please help me ask, is my manuscript fee reasonable? I always feel that it is a bit small."

She sent the sales volume and revenue of the book "My Brother CEO", as well as her own royalties to the other party.

It's no wonder that Tian Wenwen suspected that someone hacked her small money, mainly because it was a bit strange.

She just looked at the manuscript fee of a certain boss in the group. The sales volume and revenue data of the other party are not as good as hers, but the manuscript fee is higher than her own.

It made her wonder what was going on.

Soon, she got a reply——

"I asked, this is normal for you."

Su Qiong typed and responded: "Mr. Li said that the operating cost of your book is a bit high, and the revenue needs to deduct taxes, channel fees, operating costs, production costs, book number costs...all of these are counted, and the net The profit is extremely low, and it is very kind to get 8.67."

"..."

Tian Wenwen suspects that "President Li" is implying that her book is not easy to sell, but there is no evidence.

In short, this matter is quite... Depressed and happy, it is quite contradictory.
