Chapter 10 10, Alternative Ways to Eat Rice Noodles

I am still wandering.

The report from the big cousin is still chattering.

First, after talking about the number of downloads, I opened another form and started talking about the attention in the past few months.

It was a statistical table similar to a line graph, which was not too different from the pattern shown by the download volume.In the past few months, there has been a significant monthly increase, but in the most recent late May and early June, there has been a slight decline.

Of course, Li Xia was not surprised by such a result.

Visually, apart from their "Sky City", other online games on the market should also show the same trend.

It's just that the numbers used for measurement at the bottom of the table are really not comparable to those of ordinary online games.

Each grid is measured in terms of [-] followers.

If this is placed in other online games, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through [-].Not to mention taking one hundred thousand as a unit of measurement.

Downloads are naturally proportional to clicks.

It's just that compared to downloads, clicks will be many times more.

This is also related to the means of propaganda.

Some companies invest a lot of money and publish advertisements and hyperlinks on various platforms and media, so the number of clicks on their official websites will show an explosive growth trend within a certain period of time.

It is many times higher than "Sky City Warriors", which is naturally reasonable.

When rehearsing the drama, Li Xia had nothing to do, and Li Xia once secretly checked his cell phone under the table.

Anyway, the original music teacher Liang also felt that he was here to dawdle, and even if he saw her doing foreign work, he was too lazy to take care of it.

Therefore, Li Xia also had the opportunity to compare the gap between other online games and his own games by taking advantage of the online game ranking list on the moth forum.

The No. 3 online game at the top of the list has an average of 800 million hits and attention per month, and even vaguely surpasses [-] million.As for the number of downloads, it is not far behind "Sky City Warriors", with an average of more than [-] per month.

And "Sky City and Warriors".

The number of clicks per month, in front of these giants, seems very shabby.

On average, less than two million yuan per month.

Even if the attention has been steadily increasing in the past few months, there is still no way to surpass these high-quality online game works that spend a lot of money on publicity.

Just say so.

The amount of downloads on both sides is equal, but it is still easy to reflect the problem.

Among the players of "Sky City Warriors", on average, one out of every ten people who came to watch, chose to download the game.For other online games, one out of 30 people will choose to download.

Of course, the number of hits alone cannot be calculated with such a simple algorithm, but the download ratio can still explain the problem.

That is, compared to those large-scale online games, "Sky City Warriors", a horizontal 2.5D fighting game similar to King of Fighters, seems to be more attractive to players.

With a ratio of [-]:[-] and [-]:[-], which one is more promising in development, I believe there is no need to say more?

Almost crushed.

Just imagine.

If "Sky City" and the top three online games on the list are placed on the same starting line, and no one does publicity, then it is very possible that this online game in the hands of the big cousin will take the lead things.

Recently, the publicity of "Sky City" has indeed been relatively small. After all, the studios that have passed the hot period and entered the operation period, the main goal is to attract some new players while retaining existing players.

Maintaining stability is the main goal at this stage.

The lady nodded.

There is no need to read the next income statement.

Most of them are the line marks that are rising day by day, which is obvious, after all, cousin Xia Ming and the others really put their heart into this online game.

The nature of this studio is different from those large online game companies. There are no recruited plans, nor are they outsourced to other leather bag companies as agents.Everything is run by our own people.

Although I don't know what will happen if it grows bigger in the future, at least at this stage, the company still values ​​this game very much.

after all.

The only project they have is enough to make a profit.

Therefore, the evaluation criteria for planning are completely different from those of those big companies.

In general brother companies, the level of a plan is measured simply by the number of online players and krypton gold.

No matter how much the players complain, as long as you have a high online volume and good income in the past few months or even half a year, you will be praised and praised by the company.In order to pay bonuses, or get promoted, to take over more lucrative online games.

In this general environment, many game planners just use the games of the Management Association in their hands as a springboard to a higher platform.

So for some game planners, they will deliberately set up props or activities that require a long online time and krypton gold. This approach has indeed greatly improved their performance for a certain period of time.

It's just that once the novelty of the players passes, they will immediately realize that the game they love now is just the upper-level leaders treating them like monkeys.

As a result, the enthusiasm was excessively squeezed, and even after a short period of glory, the game closed down very fast.

There are quite a few games like this.

This practice also has a rather elegant name in later generations, which is called cutting leeks.

However, in that kind of large game company, the board of directors and leaders don't take this type too seriously.

After all, everyone is a businessman, so there is no need to talk about those arrogant sentiments, as long as the profit is the only criterion for judging, it will be over.

Indeed, these games had their days of glory, but they also fell very quickly.It's just that during the period from glory to decline, operators have already made too much money, including the cost of previous development and server maintenance.

Even if the game is really on the verge of bankruptcy, the audience is gone, and the operation of the entire server can no longer be supported, the big deal is to shut down the server.

Then rely on the funds in hand to buy a new online game agent, or develop a game with a similar theme and continue to cheat money, and still make a lot of money.

Most online game companies are developing towards such a big trajectory.

It can also be said to be another kind of perpetual motion machine.

However, the studio headed by Xia Ming does not have such an attitude at all.

Not to mention that their studio only has this online game in their hands. Even if it really goes bankrupt, with the funds in hand, it will not be able to open up a second battlefield.

The most important thing is that as a producer, he has more or less self-restraint in his heart.

I feel that since the game is developed, it must bring joy to the players and take the lead.

Since we really want to make a game, we must make a game, both in terms of quality and word-of-mouth, it can be sold, a good game.

Although the eldest lady also proposed a lot of money-losing projects, but as the saying goes, who can avoid the vulgarity of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea?

As long as the general tone remains the same, players will also understand some money-piercing patterns.

After all, we are all human beings who have to eat.

Xia Ming Studio's games are all planned by himself, except for the eldest lady, there is no one else in it who is thinking about how to make dirty money.This also led to the development of the game, which is quite flat.

Although it has been in a steady upward stage, this step-by-step approach lacks the krypton gold stimulation of online games on the market, and the income statement will naturally be slightly inferior to that of its peers.

For this reason, he was often ridiculed by his colleagues next door.

It is said that the amount of online games is the same, but it is not half as profitable as the big online game company next door. The irony of incompetent decision-making is revealed in both words and deeds.

It was a website with a small amount of traffic, but it was also one of the tongue-in-cheek platforms owned by those major online game companies. Naturally, it would criticize the current situation of "Sky City" in order to gain popularity while giving them Its own online games bring popularity.

This kind of praise and derogation is really uncommon in today's society.

I vaguely remember that the website also had a bit of fame in later generations, but the editor was too outspoken, and all kinds of criticism articles popped up on the homepage of the platform, and later because of various accidents, the public was immediately aroused. Several department leaders and editor-in-chief were implicated, and the subversion was naturally very rapid.

The so-called [-] Gongmings were all made of soil, which is indeed a vivid description.

Whenever she saw similar attacks on the Internet, the eldest lady just smiled and didn't argue, let alone answer.

People who are cheap have their own money.

This truth, she has experienced the cultural changes in the next ten years, naturally knows better than anyone else in her heart.

After the report on the work together, the eldest cousin closed the computer screen again, with unstoppable pride in his words.

They are indeed proud, step by step, they have come from a down-and-out bankrupt company to the present, and seeing the project gradually grow bigger, the relief in their hearts cannot be concealed.

But vaguely, the eldest lady seemed to be able to hear a trace of worry from his tone.

What she was afraid of, she didn't know.

I stayed in the office for a while, watching the big cousin and a group of programmers deal with the operation of the server a little bit, and the next krypton gold activity schedule, the time is almost eleven o'clock.

The eldest lady harbored a doubt in her heart, but it seemed somewhat unreasonable to ask it out on this occasion.

So I planned to get up and say goodbye, and contact my cousin on the phone when I have time.

In the end, Xia Ming stood up and stopped the other party with a smile: "Why don't you have a meal with us? It's hard to come here, and it's so troublesome to run back."

"Yes, yes, I tasted the newly opened restaurant downstairs recently, and it tastes pretty good." The second in command also greeted him with a smile: "The leader always comes to inspect, so he can't give us a chance to treat us?"

"Why is that so embarrassing?" The eldest lady smiled.

Having said that, Li Xia has a thick skin, but he has never missed even one chance to eat for free.

At about 11:30, many people came to the office one after another, but it is impossible for a group of people to go downstairs vigorously for eating, so a few people have to stay in the office to watch the door.

So Xia Ming dragged the second in command downstairs together.

This cheap cousin seemed to be really protective of Xiao Hu. During the meal, he even asked him if he wanted to come over.

That little Hu is also short, with a crew cut and a little fat, how can he not follow the invitation from the leader?Immediately followed behind.

In fact, the eldest lady also knew that this was a dinner specially arranged by the eldest cousin in order to resolve the misunderstanding between herself and the other party.

Most of the small shops downstairs are closed, but there are still a few restaurants that are opening.

The eldest cousin picked one of the rice noodle shops, opened the curtain first, and walked in with a few people.

Before he could sit down, a scent of fragrance wafted in from the back table.

Fragrant indeed.

The eldest lady couldn't help sniffing.

Rice noodles are not a special snack in Yecheng, but after so many years of development in Yecheng, they have naturally developed a unique flavor.

On the rice noodle balls full of sauce, all kinds of ingredients are sprinkled together, and a stream of hot soup is poured on it, which makes the rice noodles that were somewhat ordinary before suddenly overflowing with fragrance.

The eldest cousin couldn't help knocking on the mouth of the bowl with his chopsticks, and said rather proudly: "How about it, have you never eaten snacks from other provinces, are they delicious?"

Li Xia swallowed, then nodded.

When I was on a business trip in my previous life, I also visited the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and it was easy to see this kind of food that can be found everywhere there.

It’s just that I seldom travel to the suburbs there in this life, and indeed maybe I haven’t tasted such a delicious taste.

The surrounding seasoning bottles are placed on the round table, most of which are some chili peppers, pepper, sour vinegar, salt, and so on.

It is said that the taste of Yunnan and Guizhou is slightly stronger than that of Yecheng people.I don’t like to add these seasonings to the food here. Basically, it’s just the bowl of flavors prepared by the proprietress. I don’t add more seasonings, just break the chopsticks and eat.

So these seasoning bottles on the table are almost decorations, and not many locals will really use them.

The eldest lady thought for a while, then reached out to take it.

According to the taste of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in memory, I adjusted it at will, and then I picked up the chopsticks and enjoyed it.

The big cousin on the side watched Li Xia's messing around silently, not feeling a little dazed.

The eldest lady smiled, and pointed at the steaming rice noodles that he just brought up with her chopsticks: "Why don't you try it too?"

At eleven o'clock, although it was lunch time, there were not many people in Gelanqiao, and the shop was empty.Except for this group of three people, the surrounding seats were empty, and it seemed a little lonely.

Lonely is also a regular customer, the proprietress is not sloppy, and the speed of serving rice noodles is quite fast.

The eldest cousin was still in a daze: "Can you really eat like this?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

She pushed the jar of soy sauce.

Cousin swallowed, and tentatively blended those seasonings into the rice noodle soup, following Li Xia's example.

He took the first bite in doubt.

All of a sudden, there was a golden star in front of him.

"It's really a novel way of eating." He couldn't help feeling, and by the way, couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
