Reboot 2003

Chapter 303 083: App Store (three-in-one)

He was young and had a prominent family background. He was engaged in a small competition, but he accurately offended the people he shouldn't offend. This was probably too much.

At this moment, Chen Qin was thinking like this. Of course, as the good uncle next door, he would not do anything to her.

However, thinking of her previous series of operations, Chen Qin unexpectedly became a little more interested and chatted with her for a few more words.

"I've heard about this. You don't have to worry about the competition." As an elder, Chen Qin first asked a few more questions, "Is your friend not affected?"

It was originally just a message backstage, but the other party immediately replied: "Thank you, Uncle Chen, we are fine. It's mainly because I caused trouble to the organizer. I'm really sorry."

It seemed that she understood the truth... But after all, Chen Qin had warned him before, and then he thought that she would stop messing around after winning the competition, but she still got into trouble.

"Don't be too formal. Your father and I are old friends. If you have any other questions in the future, you can come to me. But I'm just a little curious. I know your friend must have won. If they win, why do you go to find trouble with those people? What?"

The person on the other side seemed to think for a while and said: "Because those people are disturbing the community atmosphere by doing this kind of thing. It would not be good if we don't care."

Chen Qin asked: "Who taught you this?"

"A friend of mine told me..."

Chen Qin scratched his head and asked, "So are you protecting the players by expelling the troublemakers?"

"Well, I think protection is not accurate. I think I just did what I should do. The community atmosphere needs to be created by everyone."

It sounds like talk, but it's actually based on experience.

Chen Qin became more interested: "Don't you think you are the leader of the community?"

"I feel that I am friends with the players. I make games, and they come to play my games. Everyone has their own things to do." A Yue was quite modest. "In addition, my understanding is also very narrow. Please ask Uncle Chen Advice..."

"Just a casual chat, I think what you said is very interesting." Chen Qin asked, "Also, since your player community is a friend relationship, what do you think your relationship is with us?"

A Yue seemed to think about it seriously and said: "I think it is the platform. Galaxy Software gave me the opportunity to show my map and also spent money to transplant it for me. I am very grateful to Galaxy Software..."

Chen Qin said: "Since it is a business, both parties just get what they need. You don't need to be too nervous."

"Then I feel like teachers and juniors." A Yue said, "The platform provides us with support and a stage for development. Although it is similar to the community, I think relatively speaking, what we get here is The benefits are more than the platform..."

A Yue answered the question seriously. After reading it, Chen Qin began to think deeply. Is this the relationship between the platform and the producer in the eyes of a first-year junior high school girl?
One is a friend, the other is a teacher. Although the latter sounds a bit unfamiliar, the so-called channel is king is just a relatively extensive means of utilizing media resources in the period of high growth, but isn't that what building a system is for?

But if you only consider the relationship itself...

In the room early in the morning, Chen Qin was thinking about this. Just at this moment, another call came on his cell phone.

Why is it A Yue’s again?
Chen Qin was already a little confused. After the call was connected, A Yue's voice came over: "Are you up?"

Chen Qin replied: "I got up early." In fact, he just got up.

"It's quite early for you..." Ah Yue said, "Have you asked Song Ziyun how they are? It is said that they went to celebrate until midnight yesterday, and I don't know if they are up now."

"I'll ask later." Chen Qin asked, "What's wrong?"

"Anyway, I solved that matter." A Yue said, "That white rabbit has been disqualified."

Chen Qin asked knowingly: "Didn't the organizer cause trouble for you?"

A Yue said: "I have a solution myself. Anyway, it has been solved. Just tell them so that they can play with peace of mind."

"Okay, you are awesome." Chen Qin had nothing to say, "But aren't you in Yanjing? I thought you were with them."

"I'm not in Yanjing. I'm watching the game through the Internet." A Yue said, "I'm with my mother."

Talking about her own affairs, she complained: "She just returned to China recently and said she was dealing with the company's affairs, but she didn't know anything about it. She just listened to the financial consultant's words, but the financial consultant himself didn't understand the situation in China at all. , you might as well leave it to me..."

You are such a filial daughter.

Chen Qin muttered to himself silently. After listening to Ah Yue say a few words about recent events, he made a phone call and went to ask the publicist just now. After asking, he found out that Ali had just sent a message saying that everything was fine. He thought it should be It was A Yue who called her Uncle Ma.

So she really settled the matter?

Although I always ask these uncles for help, in business, having connections is considered a skill, and being young is also an advantage.

There is always a feeling that the girl's wings are stiffened by one hand. I don't know if it is an illusion. I feel a little disappointed when I think of this. When will Gu Wenjie wake up.

Thinking of this, A Yue also hung up the phone. She probably had her own business to be busy with.

However, when he just heard about this, Chen Qin asked Manjun's contact person about the situation. Except for A Yue, he had no personal communication with Gu Wenjie's family. However, the two parties had a close relationship at the capital level, and a lot of information was directly Just ask Manjun.

Then ask carefully... Gu Wenjie's wife recently returned to China, and there has been some movement in terms of assets. Moyou's holding has not moved, Kuaikan and Kuaiba have both reduced their holdings, and Chen Qin himself is the main buyer. First, the U.S. stock market has rebounded greatly recently, which is a good time to sell assets. This is a normal financial operation. Therefore, she has been in contact with Manjun Group recently, participated in many group activities, and even found time to go to Visited the headquarters of Galaxy Software...

There seemed to be nothing wrong with these things, and Chen Qin couldn't find any faults after looking at them.

I just vaguely felt that something was slightly wrong.

Of course, Chen Qin didn't think about it carefully at this time. The next thing was over, the Olympics were approaching day by day, Moyou.com's first global invitational tournament was also passing day by day, and the finals were about to begin...

The event itself was indeed very successful, because the effect of the online live broadcast model on e-sports competitions was a bit unbelievable.

In order to catch up with the popularity, the mobile game Remnant Brawl, which had not yet been completed, took the time to release a promotional video and promoted it on the day of the finals.

In order to respect the current media hot spots, Chen Qin came up with an idea to put a few more Olympic Fuwa dolls on the field, and also asked Donews to compile a few more classic marketing jokes about applying for e-sports to be included in the Olympics to make it legal. , so probably sensing some signal that outsiders couldn’t understand, external advertisers came to the door one after another - when the event started, I wanted to digest the advertising for this competition internally, but now I see that the popularity is increasing. , several key advertising spaces were sold, and the game paid off directly.

Of course... of course the competition itself still needs to be run well.

Not only did the players enjoy watching it, but there was also a joke that was enough to break the circle. It seemed that a 13-year-old genius boy's operation of getting on and off the airship to get stuck was edited into a video and posted. It seemed to attract a lot of viewers.

However, as the knockout rounds continued, the talented boy was still eliminated. At present, Fota has not accumulated much, and the players are generally amateur players, but they cannot handle the high bonuses; in the fourth round, Song Ziyun encountered a team that had transferred from World of Warcraft. The professional brother finally fell to the top eight.

However, the three of them didn't seem very disappointed. They seemed to have stayed to watch the finals and were ready to watch the Olympics on the spot.

On the day of the finals, Shuixiegetai's server was a little overwhelmed, but the tournament organizers called on everyone in advance to watch the live broadcast at Golden Eagle Animation. Because the scale of the impact had become larger, many TV stations were conducting simultaneous live broadcasts of the finals.

That night, the venue was packed; after the sponsors performed the Fota mobile game scene for most of the day, there seemed to be an unexpected mysterious guest who was going to speak. This time there was no advance notice, but a girl wearing a mask appeared. on the big screen.

"Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyue, the current map creator of Fota. Thank you very much for coming to participate in this competition. I am also very grateful to the sponsors for providing us with such a good opportunity. This competition is Fota's first commercial event. The process Some unpleasant things happened in the process, and the final success was entirely the result of everyone’s tolerance..."

It seems to be a video, and no one is at the scene. The reason why he came out seems to be to help bring goods.

But what she said was very sincere. Chen Qin watched in front of the screen and couldn't help but nod secretly - if it wasn't really for the sake of the competition, there would be no need to deal with the white rabbit at the beginning. Thinking of what A Yue said about his friend before With the teacher's theory, these words seemed to become more convincing.

Of course, this is all his own consideration. In e-sports competitions, gamers usually know what they want to do. A Yue's image looks very good. Of course there will be no problem in terms of popularity, but for Probably not a good thing for a game producer.

If I were a player, I might worry that her professional quality is not up to par, or I might think that she is hyping...

Chen Qin thought this, but the audience reacted enthusiastically.

At this moment, facing Ah Yue on the screen, everyone seemed to be laughing happily. No one blamed her for what happened before. I don't know who even shouted on the spot: "Sister Xiaoyue, we love you!"

"Hahahaha-"

The audience and contestants laughed loudly. For some reason, the little girl on the screen was so frightened that she turned pale. Then she said thank you everyone... So this is also a live broadcast?

The atmosphere was inexplicably touching. Of course, the players were all stupid. As soon as Ayue mentioned the transplanted game after finishing her talk, they were already discussing whether the next one would be Ice Frog. It is said that Ice Frog did come to the scene. Can they come? Just a few words.It's a pity that I didn't wait until the end.

After these pre-game procedures were completed, everyone put away their emotions and started watching today's game.

Only Chen Qin saw this on the screen, but he finally raised his chin and frowned.

its not right.

It’s not that I think this kind of statement is inappropriate, but...

When I read the report of Manjun Group before, I didn't pay much attention to it. The wife of the Gu family came to China to manage the family assets, got very close to Galaxy Software, and participated in social activities at the headquarters. Isn't this in Shanghai.

Then A Yue said that she was with her mother, probably in Shanghai anyway.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Shanghai itself, and both sides have suitable reasons.

But why is it such a coincidence...

Suddenly something seemed to come to mind, and I finally understood what felt 'wrong' a few days ago.

So Chen Qin put down his headphones. The game was still going on, but he took the time to make a video call with Xu Lingling.

Because it was at night, Xu Lingling picked up the call very quickly. When I saw that the background was still in the dormitory of Galaxy Software, she was eating an apple.

"good evening."

"Good evening." Chen Qin asked, "What have you been doing recently?"

We had talked about it a few days ago, but it seemed a bit abrupt to ask this now. Xu Lingling took a bite of the apple, and then asked: "What's wrong? Did you miss me suddenly?"

After saying that, I felt embarrassed again. I leaned on the table and laughed. After a while, I got up and put away my expression: "What are you doing? I'm trying to copy the slogan of the Yida chewing gum that I acted recently. Do you want to distort it?" Already? Your mind is so unhealthy."

What can Chen Qin say? The drama has been played out for you.

So he continued to ask: "Just ask, what should I do anyway?"

"I'm just making digital music." Xu Lingling seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. "I'm also planning to record ringtones. I can help with this too. Ringtones are very similar to ringtones. I have a sister who comes to me every day to ask me about fruit software. How to use it."

Chen Qin continued to make insinuations: "Didn't you participate in any social activities? I heard that your father was in Shanghai recently. Did he have some large-scale social dinners, or go to some high-end clubs and salons..."

"No, my dad called me but I haven't been there." Xu Lingling stood up again and took a bite of the apple, "Come here, I'll take you there. I even played polo in Xiangjiang."

Chen Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said perfunctorily: "I just asked casually."

Xu Lingling ate the apple, raised her chin and started talking nonsense: "Did you also watch some TV, are you afraid that I will be abducted by others when I go to a place like that? I don't see that you are quite worried... "

Chen Qin quickly changed the topic: "I just want to know the progress of your music mall..."

Xu Lingling said: "Then you should have said it earlier. I have said this is very good before. Although I don't know how it is done, I just watched their ppt yesterday. I think this should be useful for the mobile phone you recently made. It helps a lot.”

Chen Qin didn't do it for this. He just felt that they were gathering in Shencheng to make some strange little plan behind his back, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out.

But now that this was mentioned, Chen Qin became a little interested, but also a little confused - from the beginning, the version he knew was that this galaxy music store was a new music sales channel, but it had nothing to do with mobile phones.

"Why does it have anything to do with mobile phones? Are you talking about paid downloads of ringtones?"

Xu Lingling said: "No, it's a mobile phone store. Don't you know? The music store is ready to cooperate with the company's strategy. At the same time, it is the development focus of our music store. I have also given them a lot of opinions."

Only then did Chen Qin understand: "Well, it should just be done in passing, and the problem should not be big..."

Xu Lingling said: "It's not just a casual thing. It seems that a lot of investment has been made to prepare everyone to work on mobile phones. I heard them in the meeting, and half of them were talking about mobile phones."

Chen Qin became more and more confused: "Is this what they told you?"

"Yes, they also said that I am the lucky star of the company. In the past, Galaxy Music became popular because of our song. Now the company is promoting a mobile phone system. I will definitely be able to succeed if I participate this time."

Chen Qin scratched his head.

Originally he just wanted to find out what Shanghai City was doing, but he really didn't care about it. After all, he wanted to make digital music. Although foresight was important, there were only a few choices. He left the route to Xingxing. As for music, the front-line staff there will make decisions based on the specific situation, and music is just that, a sunset industry, just watch and do it.

But now they want to build a music store on mobile phones...

You can do it, but it's not necessary.

After all, traffic is still valuable now. Downloading music casually is a thing of the 4G era, but even so, online music is a very troublesome industry. It’s not that you can’t make money, but that everything is produced by others, and the upstream has too much say. Big.

And when combined with mobile phones, there is too much room for imagination. During the mobile boom a few years ago, most of the profits were concentrated on music. Compared with this huge expectation, the actual market we need to face in the future seems very skinny. .

On the contrary, if you touch this cake now, because it looks too good, you have to be mentally prepared to be attacked by operators. In another dimension, the mobile phone market before the emergence of IOS and Android was the back garden of communication operators. In the process of their rise, they often had conflicts with communication providers. Now they have to make money by themselves, and most of the communication providers are not happy.

Of course, historically IOS is Apple's product after all. As a veteran hardware company, they have some strong capital, and they did win in the end; but this is China after all, and Galaxy Software was treated like a gangster a few years ago. Communication business training, innovation here is really not worth it.

But then Chen Qin quickly logged into the Star Core and asked about the situation there. The things were probably similar to what A Yue said -

"It's like an app store. Users can buy music in our store, and of course they can also buy apps and games. We just happened to be able to communicate with Weibo this time, and they gave us a lot of technical support."

That's what Lu Rong said. After hearing this, Chen Qin thought about it carefully and found that it probably made sense——

In order to make "social products", Galaxy Music cooperated with Weibo this time. Weibo used to develop Flash games. This model is actually one of the predecessors of software distribution malls. Historically, Facebook was the first to provide developer kits to build Content platform, whether it is openJDK or Apple's developer kit, although these things are technically more mature, they are all imitators of this business model. In a sense, Lu Rong and the others have found the right place this time. .

Of course, there are still problems - Chen Qin also called several other people to listen. For example, Chang You asked: "So how will the final decision be made to sell? Isn't it a membership system? It sounds like you can only sell single songs. "

"Yes, just sell it like iTunes. Anyway, we are not a service, we sell first-party content. There is no need to have a membership system." Lu Rong said, "You can also sell mobile apps. Anyway, today's software, games and music are also It’s about the same size. Since users are willing to spend money to buy music, they should also be willing to buy something else together. Of course, I’m not a technical person, so don’t laugh at me, but I think this can really work. Now our software mall has almost implemented it. Already..."

Others started talking about it, but Chen Qin thought about it carefully: "I think it's really okay."

Chang You hesitated and said: "I think so too, but there are many people doing it in the software mall now, and our system is open. I think it's a bit unsettling to directly pay to sell things. Besides, music can also be downloaded."

Lu Rong said: "We have adopted Mr. Chen's plan for this. I can't say whether anyone else will buy it, but at least the music should be bought by someone."

What she was talking about was the plan to make background music for social platforms. Zhao Shiqiang asked: "But that is entirely on PC. Now if we sell to mobile phones, we mainly sell content products such as ringtones. We mainly think that this Can’t beat piracy…”

Lu Rong said: "Then why don't we have multiple platforms? It shouldn't be technically difficult to allow users to buy on one platform and download everywhere. Anyway, engineers say it can be achieved."

Chang You said: "This shouldn't be a problem. Our company has been studying distributed distribution for so long, so of course multi-platform can do it."

Lu Rong said: "Then this is no problem. Think about it. Nowadays, things are mainly bought by people on Weibo. Although they use pirated music to listen directly or use it as ringtones, they cannot listen to it. It’s online on Weibo, so this shouldn’t affect music sales on our WEB platform, and maybe it can in turn increase mobile phone users’ willingness to pay.”

Everyone else started thinking, and Zhao Shiqiang asked: "What about selling software? Mobile software can't be used on Weibo."

"It's unusable, but I think if the scale grows, we can promote the paid software ecosystem," Lu Rong said. "Mr. Chen said that our Kaitian system has no payment basis, and said that we have no future in selling music, but I think our Maybe there is a solution. If we can attract a group of paying users to fund the software ecosystem, I think this will be a good thing for the entire system."

At this time, everyone nodded, but there was one last question - Sun Xiaomei finally asked: "What about the communication providers? We charge our own fees to sell music, and the communication providers will definitely not be happy. This should have been It’s their business.”

"We can give them a share." Lu Rong said, "I have already negotiated with China Mobile. When they provide us with channel support, we will share 15% with them. Although our communications provider is overbearing, it has never had a big appetite. They initially said 30%, but Mr. Li called the CEO of China Mobile and said that they could only take 15% in the initial stage, and they could also help us with promotion."

　There will be another update before noon tomorrow
