Doom Smuggler

Although it seemed a bit hasty, Li Lu had no objection at all.

Chen Yang has been with her for several days, and for Li Lu, she is very content.

As soon as he got back to the bedroom, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Zhou Dandan's number, and Chen Yang couldn't help but pick it up strangely.

"Where have you been? I just arrived at the company not long ago, and I can't get through to you? I thought your mobile phone was in arrears."

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Dandan's voice came out in succession.

"Pfft, how can I owe my mobile phone bill? The package fee doesn't need much, and if you save tens of thousands of yuan in it, it can be used for a lifetime."

Chen Yang was speechless.

"Then who knows you, you often can't get through the phone, and you still can't get through the phone at home, and you don't know what bad things you are doing behind our backs."

"What bad things can you do? Even you and I haven't had time to get it all done. How can we have time to hook up with other things?"

"Hmm... makes sense, but although you haven't handled everything yet, in your opinion, it should already belong to the meat in the bowl, right?"

"Cough, cough, what's the matter? Is it just a phone call to check the post?"

"Call to check your post? You are so beautiful! I am so busy every day! There is not even a second free! Who has the time to check your post! Calling is to tell you! Several major mobile phone manufacturers have taken the initiative to contact you. We have contacted and hope to make an appointment with you, they will come to the capital specially to discuss with you about the game share."

Ok?

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What is the division of the game? Haven't we already decided? The next games will not go to the platform, and all will be published and promoted by ourselves. Users can download directly from our official website." Okay, what does it have to do with those mobile phone companies?"

"It's not because the performance of 'Survival' is too impressive, and 'The Unknown World' has maintained a strong turnover. At the same time, the company announced the new plan for the follow-up game last night. Every month One, basically mobile games.

In order to warm up in advance, I asked the operation side to extract some screenshots and gameplay videos of several games, which is enough for players to confirm that the quality of the game will definitely not be worse than 'Survival'.It is estimated that this has put a lot of pressure on those mobile phone manufacturers. "

Zhou Dandan explained.

"A lot of pressure? Not so much. Those mobile phone manufacturers all have a market value of hundreds of billions, and the market value of the leader is more than one trillion, right? This scale and volume will be due to mere Feeling a lot of pressure in a few games?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

"My Boss Chen, don't you understand how huge the cash flow that games can provide is? In this world, the retail industry is probably the only industry that has more cash flow than the game industry. ? No matter how high the market value of those mobile phone manufacturers is, it is only market value after all. When it comes to cash flow, they may not be as good as us."

Zhou Dandan patiently educated Chen Yang on his mobile phone.

"Among the current mobile phone manufacturers, Apple should have the most cash reserves. But that is based on the high profits of Apple products. Last year, Apple's mobile phone sales in our country accounted for only 90.00% of the market share. About. But these [-]% of mobile phone sales took away [-]% of the net profit!

As for the other major mobile phone manufacturers, although their shipments far exceed Apple's, the real profits they can get are very small!The profits of the top predators, each of them, from mobile phone projects are less than [-] million!How much price and risk do they need to pay for this little profit?

But what about our game? Although "The Unknown World" has declined to a certain extent compared to its peak at the beginning of its launch, it is basically able to stabilize the average daily turnover of 5000 million. The online version of "Ghost in a Chaotic World" is gaining momentum, and the current average daily turnover is close to 6000 million. 'Survival' has just started, and the average daily turnover is about to exceed [-] million!

Only three games!The turnover that can be brought every month has reached at least one quarter's profit of the three largest mobile phone manufacturers!How could they not be jealous of such a large sum of money?The point is, the turnover brought by the game is actually worthless to them.The fat that reached my mouth was pushed away abruptly by myself, and I still don't know how much I regret it. "

Zhou Dandan's voice sounded a little gloating.

It's a very natural instinctive reaction to have such emotions, it's a joy to hear and see!

"So...you mean, their alliance with Penguin fell apart in such a short period of time?"

Chen Yang asked a little speechlessly.

"It's not an alliance, is it? It's just out of respect for the profits brought by the Penguin game. In addition, they previously believed that under joint pressure, we would inevitably succumb. This is also in their own interests, so Only then can we reach an agreement on opinions. But they never thought that the reaction from our side would be so strong. In their view, they actually made a choice that would rather be broken than broken.

What's even more frightening is that after making such a choice, there is obviously no channel for publicity and direct promotion, but our game still shows terrifying potential, anyone who is not blind will be able to see it, 'Survival' is also a real hit!As time goes by, the earning capacity of "survival" will become more and more exaggerated, and this bonus period may last for at least two years. "

Zhou Dandan explained.

"That's it... don't they think their ideas are too naive? Since we have created explosive income without relying on channels, why should we continue to cooperate with channels and share profits for nothing? Give them a profit?"

Chen Yang shook his head and smiled.

"Because they are all businessmen. In the eyes of businessmen, there is nothing that cannot be resolved by their interests. Maybe...they think they have enough bargaining chips to impress you?"

"Really? That's fine, um...tomorrow. Tell those people from the mobile phone manufacturers that I will give them half an hour tomorrow afternoon."

"okay, I get it."

Chapter 483 Making a Cell Phone Is Making Friends

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang opened a bottle of red wine for himself.

Instead of pouring it into a goblet, he just held the bottle and blew it, and then sat on the sofa in the living room, activating the portable brain on his hand.

The artificial intelligence equipped with the brain was given an order to connect to the network and search for relevant information on the smartphone.

Chen Yang crossed his legs, leaning on the back of the sofa as if paralyzed by Ge You, taking a sip of red wine from time to time, and comfortably watching a series of information, presented three-dimensionally in front of his eyes in the form of graphics.

This artificial intelligence is indeed very convenient to use.

Even if it is a command like his that wants to find some data, artificial intelligence will automatically convert it into a chart that is clear at a glance.

It can be called the perfect personal secretary.

The only disadvantage is that if there is something to do, the secretary can do it, but if it's nothing...it really can only be nothing.

Think about it carefully, if artificial intelligence is popularized...for most people, maybe it is not a good thing?

After all... Artificial intelligence can do too many things. In comparison, all low-end labor may be completely eliminated by artificial intelligence.

At that time, social classes will be completely solidified.

The superstructure has mastered almost all production tools and means of production, relying on artificial intelligence, it can perfectly control the normal operation of the entire society.

And a large number of low-level people have become the embellishment of this world.

The rich need the existence of a large number of poor people. Only in this way can they bring out how happy and joyful their rich life is.

If there are no poor people in this world, only the rich are left, then for the rich, their fun will be reduced by at least half.

The sense of spiritual superiority will also disappear.

Even if in order for the poor at the bottom to live in poverty, peace and tranquility, the rich will use the means of production in their hands so that the poor will not starve to death even if they do nothing, but in such a world... Hope?

Perhaps in the propaganda, such a world will be whitewashed into a paradise where everyone can eat and dress warmly.

But in Chen Yang's view, such a world is actually no different from hell.

People at the bottom are like pets kept in captivity. The only value of their life is to allow the rich people in the superstructure to have fun every day and show their false hypocrisy and compassion.

These thoughts kept appearing in his mind one after another, making Chen Yang's mood a little erratic for a while.

He drank the bottle of red wine in his hand without knowing it, smashed his mouth, and looked at the detailed data and conclusions presented in front of him, shaking his head involuntarily.

The taste of this red wine is really not very good...

I knew it would be better to open a bottle of juice!

Sure enough, the movies are all lies!snort!

Putting down the wine bottle a little arrogantly, Chen Yang concentrated on looking at the information searched by artificial intelligence.

The reason why I want to collect information about smart phones is mainly because I have become interested in those mobile phone manufacturers.

Obviously, each of them is a giant-level company, but they are envious of the revenue of several mobile games. What does this mean?

It shows that the real situation in the field of smart phones is far from being as beautiful as it looks outside!

The various information about smartphones that the artificial intelligence searched through the Internet is quite comprehensive, allowing Chen Yang to have a relatively specific cognition and understanding of the smartphone industry very quickly.

At the same time, I also understand why those major mobile phone manufacturers in China, who clearly have a market value of hundreds of billions or even trillions, still covet the game market so much.

No way, it seems that the size is amazing, and the scale of the upstream and downstream industrial chains involved is also extremely large, but the low profit margin makes this industry like dancing on a tightrope.

It's just like what Luo Yulong and Long Ge said, making mobile phones doesn't make money, everyone should be friends...

From the data point of view, last year, the global smartphone shipments reached nearly 13 billion units.

But even with such terrifying shipments, compared to the previous year, there was still a [-]% decline.

The reason is self-evident, and everyone who understands it understands it.

Among them, the top two shipments in the global market are both foreign companies, Samsung and Apple.

But the next three to six in global shipments are all domestic mobile phone giants!

The four companies shipped a total of 40.00 million smartphones last year, occupying a global market share of nearly [-]%.

However, with such a huge market share, the final profits and gains can be regarded as negligible compared to the actual sales generated by mobile phones...

Take Xiaomi, which ranks fourth in the world, as an example. Last year, Xiaomi shipped a total of 500 million smartphones, and the mobile phone project alone created a revenue of [-] billion!

This figure accounts for more than 60.00% of Xiaomi's overall revenue.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mobile phone business is the pillar business of Xiaomi Company.

Once there is a problem with the mobile phone business, Xiaomi is not far from going bankrupt.

It's a pity that the revenue of 500 billion yuan only brought about 60 billion yuan in net profit.

The overall net profit ratio is only about [-]%.

However, even this [-]% can be regarded as an extremely high number among domestic mobile phone manufacturers!

HW, the number one mobile phone manufacturer in China, has a net profit of only [-]% in the mobile phone business.

As for the bottom two OVs, their net profit is only a pitiful [-]%.

In stark contrast, is Apple.

Apple's net profit in the mobile phone business can reach a terrifying 30.00% or more!

So for domestic manufacturers, such a low profit margin naturally means great risks.

They must ensure the stability of the business, otherwise, they may face huge losses.

Therefore, in addition to the mobile phone business, these manufacturers will look for other ways to increase their revenue scale.

It has become the only choice to build its own terminal network through the sale of mobile phones, and then use the user base formed by these terminal networks to finally use software and advertisements to draw money from users and advertisers again.

And games are the most effective way to get money out of users' pockets!

For these mobile phone manufacturers, the practice of taking a cut from the recharge flow of the game by building channel services will not add any cost to them, but can obtain huge profits.

It's like collecting tolls after building a highway.

If you want to use the channel I built, you have to pay!

It's fair and makes sense.

It's just that Chen Yang doesn't want to go the way of other people's houses anymore...

Chapter 484 My Sister Is Coming

Today's weather is not very good.

The smell of smog filled the air, making the entire capital look gloomy.

This phenomenon is actually very common for people in the capital.

Apart from wearing a mask when traveling, people in Beijing have no good way to deal with it.

Therefore, air purifiers are very popular commodities in the capital. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, at least they can get a certain degree of psychological comfort.

Everyone knows that smog is bad, but everyone can't do anything about it.

Even though various policies have been continuously introduced over the years to try to limit the emission of toxic gases in the capital, it has always had little effect.

The reality is always frustrating.

Many people are using the London of the past to wake up the current capital.

Many people burst into tears, and the slogans they shouted were deafening.

But what's the use of that?

Everyone understands many truths, but they still have a hard time living this life.

The country is naturally aware that smog will damage the health of its citizens, but in order to develop, there must be trade-offs.

The dust of the times, falling on the shoulders of ordinary people, is indeed a mountain that cannot be resisted.

London more than a hundred years ago, although it can be regarded as the center of the world, has led to two consecutive industrial revolutions, resulting in extremely poor air quality.
