Who has the choice after being reborn? I want them all

Chapter 112 Funwan.com

After announcing the cooperation with the school network, Li Zhe called the three department heads Zhuang Minghui, Hu Mingxin, and Pan Yuan to his office for a small meeting.

The company is still small, so Li Zhe doesn't have a conference room. Meetings are held in his office.

He motioned for Zhuang Minghui and the others to sit down on the sofa. Li Zhe also sat down on the single sofa next to him, and then said:

"Xiaoyuan is still in charge of the cooperation with the school network this time. Technically, Minghui, please do some hard work."

Zhuang Minghui and Pan Yuan both nodded after hearing this.

Hu Mingxin said with some worry, "Brother Zhe, more than 4 people have received a box of fruit in the new recruitment campaign. Is it time to stop the campaign?"

A box of fruit weighs 9 pounds, which can be converted into 25 yuan for phone bills. More than 4 people received a box of fruit, which means millions were sold in five days.

In addition to other promotion expenses and the cost of renting a server, Li Zhe has invested 300 to [-] million yuan since the game was launched.

"Fun Farm" can develop so rapidly not only because of "Never Expected", but also because of spending a lot of money.

No matter how good an idea is without money, it will be difficult to implement it, and the results will only be stolen by capital.

In the original version of "Farm", 5 Minutes missed a good opportunity, largely because of lack of money.

5 Minutes only received US$350 million in venture capital from DFJ one year after the launch of "Farm Farm". By this time, the cucumbers were already cold.

Li Zhe is now equivalent to being his own venture capitalist, spending money to promote the game.

Zhuang Minghui also said: "Brother Zhe, our daily active users are almost 20. Should we consider how to charge?"

He and Hu Mingxin were worried about the same thing, which was that the company was now entirely supported by Li Zhe's personal funds. If he continued to burn money like this, if "Fun Farm" could not achieve the expected benefits after charging, the company's capital chain would not be guaranteed. Problems will arise.

After all, casual games are generally recognized as difficult to monetize and profit from. "Fun Farm" is very popular, but it does not mean that the income will definitely be high.

Li Zhe waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about money. The new promotion activities can reduce some rewards appropriately, but they must not be stopped. There is no need to worry about charging for the game. There is no need to consider charging until the number of users exceeds [-] million."

He currently has 5000 to 5 million in funds, which is enough to maintain the operation of "Fun Farm" for a long time. There is no need to rush to make money like [-] Minutes Company.

Once you start selling items for a fee, the money-attracting ability of food-stealing games will be exposed, and competition will inevitably intensify.

Will you consider charging if you have over [-] million users?

Zhuang Minghui and Pan Yuan looked at each other a little bit. The goal Li Zhe set was not ordinary high.

At this time, Li Zhe said again: "Minghui, how is the development progress of "Quwan Ranch" and "Quwan Fishing Farm"?"

Zhuang Minghui was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said: ""Fun Wan Ranch" is ready for internal testing, and "Fun Wan Fishing Farm" is almost in progress."

After the manpower was increased three or four times, the game development progress was greatly accelerated. Small games that originally took about two weeks to develop can now be developed in only five or six days, and two or three games can be developed at the same time.

"Then we will conduct internal testing as soon as possible, and the development of small games such as "Grab a Parking Space", "Friends Buying and Selling", and "Fun Restaurant" must also be put on the agenda."

……

After chatting for a while, when the matter was almost settled, Li Zhe asked Zhuang Minghui and the others to leave.

However, when Zhuang Minghui and the others were about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered something and called Pan Yuan.

"By the way! Xiaoyuan, go find out if there is a company called Kaixin.com?"

Many people confuse Kaixin.com with "Happy Farm", thinking that "Happy Farm" is a game developed by Kaixin.com, but in fact it is not.Kaixin.com is the first social network (SNS) in China that mainly targets office white-collar users. It has grown extremely rapidly, reaching 7000 million registered users in just one or two years.

Kaixin.com has developed many popular mini-games, such as "Friend Buying and Selling", "Grab Parking Space", "Happy Restaurant" and so on.

But "Farm Farm" has not been developed.

"Happy Farm" was developed by 5 Minutes Company, and the development team is a group of freshly graduated college students.

Kaixin.com, like Xiaonei.com, was only one of the online platforms for "Happy Farm". At that time, "Happy Farm" was also launched on many platforms such as 51.com, Baidu, Facebook, and Penguin Games.

It's just that the names of "Happy Farm" and Kaixin.com are too similar, causing many people to mistakenly think that this game was developed by Kaixin.com.

Li Zhe didn't remember the specific launch time of Kaixin.com, but it was probably around 07 or 08. Kaixin.com should have been in preparation by now, and he planned to try to see if Kaixin.com's founding team could be included.

It's probably quite embarrassing. The founding team of Kaixin.com seems to have come from Xinlang, so it is unlikely that they would like him as a student.

Regarding the development of Quwan.com, Li Zhe also plans to take the route of a social platform and revise Quwan.com after "Quwan Farm" is launched.

In other words, the cooperation with Xiaonei.com is only temporary, and breaking up will be a matter of time. After all, the two parties will be competitors in the future.

Although later generations have proven that Facebook is difficult to take in China, and Xiaonei.com and Kaixin.com have failed, Li Zhe still plans to give it a try.

He also needs such a social platform to promote games and short videos.

What's more, as long as it can hold on, when the era of mobile Internet comes, seizing the trend may not make Quwan.com's transformation successful.

"Dong dong, dong dong dong!"

After Zhuang Minghui and the others went out, Li Zhe lay on the sofa and prepared to sleep for a while, but as soon as he closed his eyes and felt a little sleepy, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

He sighed softly and sat up from the sofa again.

"Please come in!"

The door to the office was pushed open, and Guo Jian, a young man, led a woman in.

"You're not in school, why did you come here?"

As Li Zhe said this, his eyes fell on the woman behind Guo Jian. She looked about 25 or [-] years old. She was not very good-looking, but had a good figure and had the charm of a wife... a mature woman.

Guo Jian said with a smile: "What class are you taking? There's nothing good about my shabby school."

Ever since "Unexpectedly" became a hit, this kid has no intention of attending classes at all.

He turned his head and glanced at the woman behind him and introduced: "Zhezi, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Xining, a professional actor."

"Hello, Director Li!" The woman named Wang Xining held out her hand to Li Zhe with a respectful smile on her face.

Li Zhe shook hands lightly and said, "Ms. Wang, which school did you graduate from?"

"I graduated from Tianjin Film and Television Vocational College."

It's true that he barely graduated from a major, but this kind of third-rate art school will not help him enter the entertainment industry at all.
