An Expert Is actually By My Side

　　 At the same time, far away at the headquarter of Rice Group in Shanghai City.

　　 Xu Qianshi, the CEO of Rice Entertainment, is sitting at the conference table, turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, and staring at the document on his hand intently.

　　 Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man with a neat suit and neatly combed hair. The expression between his eyebrows was calm and relaxed. However, it is not difficult to see the tension in his heart from the small movements of his constantly rubbing his thumb.

　　 is nothing more than he gets nervous.

　　 The competition in the video game industry has gone from a state of barbaric growth to gradually transitioning to a pattern of competition among the heroes.

　　 Especially in the past two years, more and more electronics industry tycoons and Internet giants have begun to focus on this piece of cake, relying on their own resources and massive subsidies to conquer cities in this blue ocean market.

　　 Although the e-fun platform is the largest game platform in China, it is only a game platform after all.

　　 Especially in the past two years, as some small platforms have been incorporated by the regular army, even if the e-fun platform still occupies the leading position in the industry, it is still at risk.

　　 Faced with the already fierce competition, the best choice at the moment is undoubtedly to find a backer for yourself.

　　 As one of the domestic electronics industry giants, the Rice Group is undoubtedly a seemingly reliable owner.

　　Especially recently, the rice group has shown great ambitions in entering the field of video games. The e-fun group, which has a large reserve of game IP, is also an excellent investment target for them.

　　 So, a business marriage started like this.

　　 If the "war investment" of the Rice Group can be introduced and become a subsidiary of the Rice Group, the e-fun platform's dream of dominating the "full platform" for many years will undoubtedly be realized.

　　 It is precisely because of this that Chen Jianwen, the chairman of Dianqu Group, is so nervous.

　　 The meeting room is silent.

　　 At this time, the door suddenly opened.

　　 I saw a secretary walking quickly into the conference room, leaning over and whispering a few words in Xu Qianshi's ear.

　　 Looking at the two whispering people, Chen Jianwen's nervous heart almost touched his throat, fearing that the acquisition case, which had been seen for a month, was stuck on the last knot.

　　 Fortunately, the change he was worried about did not happen.

　　 After listening to the secretary's whispers, Xu Qianshi just nodded faintly, then gestured to him to wait aside first, and then continued to look at Chen Jianwen who was sitting across the conference table.

　　 "Mr. Xu, if there is anything else on your side, we can talk about it tomorrow morning." Chen Jianwen said with a gentle smile on his face, pretending to be relaxed.

　　 Xu Qianshi smiled faintly.

　　 "Sorry for keeping you waiting, I don't have to talk about it tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with the price. The specific cooperation details have been discussed in the past two months. I personally don't like to waste time on the minutiae."

　　 After all, he picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.

　　 Seeing that the name was finally signed, the big rock in Chen Jianwen's heart was finally put down, and he quickly stood up with joy.

　　 "Mr Xu is happy! Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

　　 handed the contract to Chen Jianwen's secretary, Xu Qianshi also stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand.

　　 "Happy cooperation!"

　　 An M&A case with a transaction value of more than one billion has come to an end.

　　 With the acquisition of shares of Dianqu by subsidiaries of the Rice Group, Dianqu's platform has also officially merged into the "rice series" camp.

　　The cooperation is over. Chen Jianwen, who was happy in his heart, offered an invitation to have a meal together, but Xu Qianshi euphemistically turned it down on the grounds that “there will be a meeting in a while”.

　　 Back in his office, Xu Qianshi picked up from the corner of the table the research paper that the secretary had sent here during the previous meeting, and looked at it line by line.

　　 is written at the beginning of the research report, is a mobile game called "Pineapple Speed".

Although the name sounds a bit strange, because it is different from the mainstream Q version of the small and fresh style and simple and easy-to-understand operation mode, this game titled "Pineapple Phone" won the whole platform as soon as it entered the market. Numerous praises.

　　 As of the completion of this research report, the global download of this "Pineapple Speed" has exceeded 100 million, and the number of online users at the same time is advancing towards the million mark.

　　 This is definitely not good news for both Mi Mobile and Mi Entertainment, a subsidiary of the group.

　　 To be honest, Xu Qianshi's psychology was quite puzzled when the group CEO mentioned this in a high-level meeting.

The mainstream of today’s game industry, whether it’s a mobile game or a terminal game, the taste of the market favors large-scale productions with high-quality graphics, and the supporting hardware produced by Xia Guo’s advanced electronics industry can easily support those game designers. We use our imagination.

　　 As a result, there is actually a Q version of the game with no screen but no plot?

　　 Xu Qianshi couldn't help but began to wonder if there was something wrong with the players' taste.

　　 "Is it so fun?"

　　 Putting down the research report, Xu Qianshi turned on the laptop and searched for some videos on the Internet.

　　'S instinct as a game planner told him that the quality of the game itself can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, and the reason for the popularity is mostly in marketing.

　　 The points of the ranking, the comparison of the circle of friends, sinking into the social field...

　　 looked at the game commentary on the screen blankly, and Xu Qianshi gradually showed a solemn expression on his face.

　　 Although whether the game is fun or not is not enough to directly affect the sales of a mobile phone, it has to be admitted that fun and popular games are a plus for users.

　　 Pineapple phones don’t even need to engage in any platform-exclusive damage tricks. Directly provide users with pineapple phones with limited skins or virtual products such as exclusive treasure boxes, which can add points to consumers’ hearts for their phones.

　　 "...the friend merchant has something."

　　 Touched his chin, Xu Qianshi's thoughts turned quickly.

　　 A long time ago, the Pineapple Group, which was registered on the other side of the sea, actively deployed in the field of mobile games, trying to take the slant to achieve corner overtaking.

In the beginning, Xia Guo’s mobile phone manufacturers didn’t care too much, but in the past two years, the market share of low-end and medium-end models of pineapple phones has gradually expanded and even started to eat into the domestic market. After all, it has caused the local Xia country of the rice group. The vigilance of electronics giants.

　　 This war investment on the e-fun platform is a decision made by the group's top management.

　　 The executives of the Rice Group hope to use the rich IP resources of the e-fun platform to counter the advantages that Pineapple Mobile has achieved in the game field in the past two years.

　　 At the same time, Rice Entertainment has also issued a military order to the head office to create at least one explosive game with over 100 million downloads within one year!

　　 The game production teams acquired by Rice Entertainment are almost working overtime, but there is still no progress after half a year. On the contrary, the PC market has shrunk by a few percentage points.

　　 leaned back on the office chair, and a troubled expression appeared on Xu Qianshi's face.

　　 "If we want to compete with the Pineapple Group in this market, we must create our own explosive models."

"The size of this game must be small enough so that it can penetrate low-end and mid-range models in overseas markets. The gameplay should not be too complicated. It is best to have a few simple operations that can make people unable to stop and even addictive. "

　　 "Finally, it will be able to mobilize users' comparison psychology and sink into the social circle..."

　　 Simply put, it is small and beautiful.

　　 But how can it be that simple?

　　 After more than ten years of development, the gameplay has almost been developed to the limit. Even if a Q version of the racing game is copied, it is impossible to surpass the "Pineapple Speed" that has occupied the high ground.

　　 Thinking of the game production teams acquired by Rice Entertainment last year, Xu Qianshi shook his head for a while.

　　 When I was asking for money, I was more active than the other, and when I got the results, I didn’t have anyone who could play.

　　 or...

　　 Make a mobile version of "The Oracle"?

　　 However, this idea only existed in Xu Qianshi's mind for a second, before he rejected it.

　　It is the domestic instant messaging giant Sea Lion Group that runs "The Oracle", and its influence in Xia Guo is not lower than that of the Rice Group. How can such a high-quality IP be adapted by itself...

　　 In contrast, it is more reliable to look through the electronic fun of the hand just bought.

　　 Thinking of this, Xu Qianshi opened the store on the e-fun platform and looked down the sales list of the whole station, trying to find an IP suitable for adaptation into a mobile game.

　　 However, to his disappointment, none of them met his expectations.

　　 Until he continued to turn down two pages, his eyes suddenly stopped on a strange game.

The reason why 　　 finds it strange is that in the full-screen colorful screenshots of the game, this game with only a few monotonous numbers on the cover is simply an alternative.

　　 Or rather, weird!

　　 Looking at the selling price again, Xu Qianshi's interest is even more intense.

　　 "It only sells for a dollar...Can you sell it back?"

　　 Other games sell for 100, and the cheaper ones are 20 or 30. You only sell 10,000 copies here, and you have to sell 10,000 copies to be equivalent to the sales of dozens or even one hundred copies of others. You deserve to be on the sales list.

　　 It's better to say that the platform didn't block you from the list and recommendation position. That's all for charity!

　　 With curiosity, he clicked to download.

　　 In less than a second, the game is now on his laptop.

　　 Open the game, the simple to the extreme screen appears in front of you, and a short explanatory text pops up at the same time.

　　【You only need to press up, down, left, and right to add adjacent numbers together. 】

　　 "This gameplay is really simple enough."

　　 smiled and shook his head. Xu Qianshi thought that he would be off work after a while, so UU read www.uukanshu.com and tried to finish.

　　 was quite simple at first, but as the numbers got bigger and bigger, he gradually realized that he thought things too simple.

　　 "...you have to move the big numbers to the side as much as possible."

　　 staring at the screen, Xu Qianshi stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

　　 "I was sloppy... one more!"

　　 Time passed by every minute.

　　'S repeated failures did not discourage him, but aroused his desire to win.

　　 He didn't even notice, he actually got into this little game.

　　 The sky outside the window went from faint yellow in the evening to completely dark, until the hour hand of the wall clock touched the edge of eight o'clock, and the prompt pop-up window for the game clearance finally popped up in front of Xu Qianshi.

　　 Looking at the hard-won victory, Xu Qianshi's mouth finally stretched out with a smile.

　　 However, before he was happy for two seconds, a leaderboard and the option of [Continue or Not] that followed it made his expression freeze on his face.

　　 Fuck?

　　 2048 is just the beginning?

　　 I thought it was over...

　　 Looking at the leaderboard of the fairy fights, and the score that was scored to more than 60,000, Xu Qianshi suddenly swallowed unconsciously and muttered subconsciously.

　　 "This game is poisonous!"

　　 without any hesitation!

　　 stretched out his right hand trembling with excitement, he held the phone on the desk, dialed the number and called his secretary.

　　 "Give you a task."

　　 "I have a game here, and the link has been sent to your work email."

　　 "Three days! I want to see its research report, appear on my desk!"
