Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 207 3D Mobile Game Dark Journey to the West
Sliding to return is a feature that was born for large-screen mobile phones. The reason why Zhiyun phones did not use this feature before was not because it was technically impossible, but because it was unnecessary.

Zhiyun Technology applied for a series of gesture operation patents two years ago, and after two years of accumulation, it has a large number of various gesture operation patents, and even formed a certain patent monopoly to some extent.

If other mobile phone manufacturers want similar gesture operations, it will be very troublesome... they need to go around in circles.

The screen of previous Zhiyun phones was too small, so you could directly use the capacitive return button below the screen without sliding to return.

Now that the 11-inch S11 Pro has been launched, although the capacitive touch return button can still be easily operated, in order to cultivate user habits, Zhiyun Technology has added a sliding return function to this generation of S Pro phones.

As he spoke, Xu Shenxue started to operate the demo machine. He opened his own official website with a browser and randomly opened a web page. Then he slid his finger inward along the edge of the screen, and the browser page returned directly to the previous level! "

"As you can see, our S11 Pro uses a large -inch screen. Although the back button below the screen can still be used, we still designed a sliding back operation mode to provide users with more choices."

“When browsing the web or using an app, you can return to the original page with just a swipe!”

“Very convenient feature!”

“Not only can you swipe on the left side, you can also set it to swipe on the right side. Whether you use your right hand or left hand, you can make corresponding settings to suit your usage habits!”

Sliding operation is an important part of Zhiyun Technology's control mode layout, because it is an essential function for the subsequent use of large-size screens.

Regardless of whether it is a full screen or not, when the screen size reaches a certain size, such as larger than 5.5 inches, then sliding back becomes an indispensable function.

The screen is too large, and users are forced to use the back button at the bottom or the back button at the top, which is very inconvenient.

Although some people can accept and even like the return button below!

However, as a company that targets the global market and many different types of consumer groups, Zhiyun Technology must provide enough options for its flagship phones.

If you like to use the back button below, then use the back button below.

If you like to use the swipe back button, then use the swipe back button.

At the same time, any of the above functions can be switched between left and right, and can be set in the settings to suit the left-handed and right-handed operating habits of different people!
Whether you prefer right-handed or left-handed operation, you can find a very comfortable control mode.

This is the concept that Zhiyun Technology has always pursued when making mobile phones: to provide users with the ultimate user experience, even if they don’t need it!
After introducing the sliding back function, Xu Shenxue went on to introduce many new features of the Yun OS4.0 system. However, many of them were minor improvements and functions, without any revolutionary innovations.

Since there is no revolutionary innovation in the hardware, there will naturally be no revolutionary innovation in the system either.

The development of software also follows the development of hardware. The sliding back function is a typical additional product brought about by the development of large-size screens.

In addition to these small functions, Xu Shenxue also introduced a press function, which allows the user to pop up a multi-function menu option by pressing the screen for a short time.

This function is also designed to cultivate operational habits.

As the screen gets bigger and bigger, Zhiyun Technology will definitely cancel the physical capacitive buttons. At that time, there will only be a smooth, flat round fingerprint button on the chin, and other operations will be replaced by gesture operations.

And this operating habit also needs to be cultivated slowly!

Starting with S11 Pro, Zhiyun Technology has used this -inch mobile phone to gradually cultivate users' gesture operation habits to pave the way for the next generation of larger screens next year.

After finishing the system introduction, Xu Shenxue said: "As I said at the beginning, our S11 Pro phone provides the ultimate SOC and running memory, and also provides a Pro -inch retina screen, which not only brings the ultimate picture performance, making people look more comfortable in daily operation, but also brings the ultimate gaming experience!"

“Now, please invite our partners from Yihai Network to come up and introduce the experience of their new game on our mobile phones!”

After saying that, Xu Shenxue temporarily left the stage, drank some water to moisten his throat, took a short rest, and then prepared for the subsequent press conference.

At this time, Huang Jianian, CEO of Yihai Network, was wearing a white T-shirt with the Chinese and English words "Yihai Network" printed on the front, as well as the large-scale 3D action mobile game they were going to release today: "Dark Journey to the West".

Huang Jianian is a young man in his early thirties. At this age, he looks very young among a group of business tycoons, but in the field of mobile games, he is a senior tycoon.

Before joining Yihai Network, he had led projects for several domestic game manufacturers and was already a very accomplished game planner at the time. He was subsequently invited to join Yihai Network and served as its CEO and chief planner.

With the help of Xu Shenxue, he led the Yihai Network team to develop and release four games that have achieved great success around the world: Fruit Wars, Candy Crush, Fish Fight, and Kingdom Protector. In addition, there are more than ten small games.

The entire Yihai Network's revenue in the past year reached 1.2 billion US dollars, and it has grown into the largest and most profitable mobile game company in the world... Even in the entire gaming industry, it is one of the largest gaming companies with strong profitability.

Especially Kingdom Protector, this tower defense card game, after being first released on the Zhiyun APP channel last year, provided Yihai Network with more than 50 million US dollars in revenue in the first month, and then it continued to rise steadily.

Later, it was launched on IOS platform and overseas Android platform, and the official general version channel was opened in the country.

This game can be said to be the most successful game in overseas expansion for Yihai Network and even the entire Chinese gaming industry, and it has gained popularity all over the world.

Within one year of its listing, Yihai Network generated nearly US$800 million in revenue. Its ability to make money is extremely exaggerated!
It makes much more money than a lot of large online games!

The success of this game, coupled with the success of several other small games from Yihai Network, has seriously stimulated domestic game developers. A large amount of hot money has poured into the mobile game market, and then they have made games to make money!

Not only does it make money from domestic gamers, but it also makes money from overseas gamers.

After the huge success of Protector of the Kingdom, Yihai Network will launch several blockbuster works this year. Among them, the one that will be released at the S11 conference is this very special "Dark Journey to the West".

A large-scale 3D action game that is very rare in the current mobile game market, and it is also a traditional Chinese theme.

This game is a sentimental work by Huang Jianian...

As a young man who became famous and rose quickly in the industry, the most important thing was that he was a rising star in the gaming industry who was engaged in money-making games. At that time, a large number of game manufacturers wanted to recruit him.

Recruit him and provide him with certain resources, and there is a high probability that he will be able to find you a hen that lays golden eggs.

But Huang Jianian’s career is considered successful, and he is also a man with a dream. He wants to make a true 3A-level traditional theme stand-alone game with a starting investment of tens of millions of US dollars!
But in the current market environment, this kind of game will flop no matter how you look at it... There is a high probability that the investment will be wasted. It is impossible for the boss of any game company to give him tens of millions of dollars to go through such trouble.

But Xu Shenxue did the math at the time and realized that tens of millions of US dollars was not a lot... So he agreed on the spot and said there was no need to wait for the future. As long as the first few games made money and could support the company's receivables, you could do whatever large-scale games you wanted later.

You can choose any theme, be it Journey to the West, fantasy, or cultivation of immortals!
The promises of the super-rich are still very convincing!

So, Huang Jianian joined Yihai Network with the mentality of making money in mobile games first and then earning money to work in large-scale 3A games!

Of course, sentiment is sentiment, and various high salaries and options are also indispensable... people are not stupid.

This kind of top gaming talent in the industry, who is also the soul figure in planning and hosting a game, is very expensive.

With the options he currently holds in the gaming company, he can get tens of millions in dividends every year... There is no other way, Yihai Network is too profitable, with super high gross profit and even higher net profit!

After the company's revenue increased significantly last year, Huang Jianian officially started the production of a 3A traditional Chinese-style game, a large-scale 3A game with a cultivation theme.

The production of this game will be a long process, conservatively estimated to take more than five years, and the total investment is expected to exceed 50 million US dollars or even higher.

In the current domestic gaming industry, apart from Xu Shenxue, who doesn't care much about money, there is no other boss who would let Huang Jianian spend 3 million US dollars to make a A game with traditional Chinese themes...it would be a huge loss!

Even Huang Jianian himself didn’t have much confidence...so after the 3A project started, he put more energy into making money on mobile games.

If 3A loses money, he has to make up for it with the profits from mobile games!

The exaggerated subsequent revenue of Kingdom Protector is inseparable from his focus and hard work... This young man is really a genius in the field of making money from mobile games, and all kinds of ways of making money are emerging one after another.

The means of stimulating recharge through various activities made even the shameless Ji Chenghe feel inferior!

Ji Chenghe even commented on Huang Jianian: How can he be so evil at such a young age? I spent more than 50,000 yuan but still couldn't get a complete set of dark gold cards...

I got the boutique badge. From 6,000 collections to the current 3,000 boutiques, this is inseparable from your support. I would like to thank you very much!

I hope you can continue to walk along with this book in the future!
There is still one chapter today, which will probably be published in a few hours.
