I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Seeing Mo Xiangwen stand up, Su Mengli was about to stand up as well, intending to leave with them, when she didn't expect him to pull out a new document from the file bag and hand it to Old Li.

"Teacher Li, I have another project proposal here. Could you please take a look?"

besides?

Su Mengli and Su Mengyao looked at him in surprise, not expecting that he had made two project plans.

Even Old Li was taken aback for a moment, nodded and accepted the document. He was also somewhat looking forward to seeing what else this young man, who had just given him a pleasant surprise, could come up with.

As soon as Mr. Li picked it up, he discovered that the content of this project plan was much less than that of the previous one.

Why save this for later instead of bringing it out at the beginning?

From a psychological perspective, if he sees a relatively simple one first, lowering his expectations before seeing the previous one, his success rate will undoubtedly be much higher.

Reversing this order will actually increase the difficulty significantly.

His doubts vanished when he scanned the words "social attributes" and "slightly aggressive vocabulary".

“…Good, a very good plan.” Old Li’s eyes lit up and he blurted it out unconsciously.

P.S.: Recommending a friend's book: "Living in a Professional Otherworld, Starting with Summoning a Tearful Lament."

Synopsis: No card games involved, so even if you're new to OCG, you can enjoy this without worry... (probably).

"Mr. You Tian, ​​what advantages do you think your profession has compared to other professions?"

"It's probably a little bit better than other professions," You Tian said, gesturing with a fingertip.

"A little bit stronger... are you sure?"

"You mean... when the Beastmaster is busy taking care of their contracted beasts and building a bond with them, you directly summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"

"You mean... when a mage is reciting difficult incantations and memorizing how magic works, you just casually unleash lightning storms and black holes?"

You Tian: "Of course, there's actually one more thing I forgot to mention."

"What is it?"

You Tian glanced at the Tearful Elegy Clan, Flash Blade Princess, and Silver City gathered around him, and said without hesitation:

"Package allocation object".

Chapter Seventy-Nine concludes the story.

Su Mengli and Su Mengyao looked at him with anticipation and surprise.

However, compared to Su Mengli and the others, Wang Bin and the senior student reacted even more strongly, and they were now completely dumbfounded.

Because they understand Mr. Li better than the Su sisters.

If it was surprising that Mr. Li asked them to study his previous project proposal, then...

It's hard to believe that Mr. Li would call it "very good".

This was the first time in a long time that Wang Bin had seen Old Li give such a direct and high evaluation.

Mo Xiangwen was not surprised by Li Lao's reaction.

Surprised? No, not at all.

He had anticipated this outcome.

If Mr. Li doesn't think it's good, it only proves that he's not good enough, not that the game is bad.

When this game was first released, it became a nationwide sensation within three days.

Although its lifespan is only three days.

It's called "Meme," and players who know more about games may know that there was a similar game before.

A game that has little depth of gameplay and no AAA-level graphics, yet it became a nationwide sensation.

More important than the game itself is his promotional strategy based on WeChat.

What does it rely on? It relies on a thorough understanding of user psychology and on viral social media dissemination.

The system deliberately creates user frustration to drive ad clicks, uses slogans that stimulate competitiveness, and employs regional ranking and sharing mechanisms to obtain in-game items.

All of these factors constitute a key reason for its popularity.

Of course, he also remembered that the game was criticized for having an identical game too early.

Therefore, in his proposal, he designed a simple parkour game that could be played with just a tap of his thumb.

Curious, Su Mengyao lowered her voice and asked quietly, "What game did you write on it? Why didn't you take it out at the beginning?"

“Because this kind of game isn’t meant to be played, and I don’t think hardcore gamers like you would like it either.” Mo Xiangwen shook his head.

"Why did Elder Li give it such a high evaluation?" Su Mengli asked softly.

Mo Xiangwen paused for a moment, then said honestly, "It's very simple, because it can really become popular and make money."

For the game itself, it has become something that comes second to social interaction.

The first reason he didn't want to do it was because it was risky.

This game has been highly controversial and has even been criticized by higher authorities.

Moreover, its counterpart, "Jump," was released quite early, and it, being small and inexperienced, didn't want to compete with big companies.

The second reason is that he's pretentious.

He has played all the games that have become wildly popular in recent years.

He knew exactly what kind of games would be popular, and he wasn't worried at all about missing out on making money from this little game.

Money is indeed a good thing; it can make his life more comfortable.

But besides money, he also wanted to pursue other things.

He used to play single-player games, but every now and then he would be fed content by different development teams, which was really annoying.

Having been given a second chance at life, besides wanting to make money, I also want to enjoy making games.

He wants players like himself to have fun, rather than acting superior and treating them like innocent victims to be exploited.

He was a victim in the past, and he may be in the future.

"...It's a very unique design. Although I don't understand games, I do know a little about human nature and psychology."

Mr. Li sighed, and just when Wang Bin thought Mr. Li would show them the project proposal, Mr. Li put it away instead.

"I have reason to believe that your game will be a hit, and a hit to an unimaginable degree."

To be honest, as expected of an entrepreneurship mentor, his insight is truly sharp.

Before this game became popular, most people would have found it hard to believe that such a small game could become so popular across the country.

At this point, Mr. Li was also quite puzzled. If that was the case, wouldn't it have been better to just present this project proposal from the beginning?

Why should he play the villain again and criticize Su Mengyao's proposal?

"This plan is very good." Old Li frowned and asked directly, "If you had submitted this plan from the beginning, I would have approved it. Was there any concern about not using this plan in the first place?"

"I think the three of you are quite good at doing this, and you also said above that the production cycle is at most a few months."

"Low cost, short cycle, and almost predictable success."

"What's wrong with it?"

Since things have come to this point, the implication is clear: his business application has been approved.

By now, Wang Bin was numb to it all, and he wasn't surprised that a game development project could pass Li Lao's scrutiny.

He was even starting to look forward to how Professor Li would face what he had said... Oh well, he hadn't complained about having too many credits yet.

Su Mengli and Su Mengyao exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

"The impact is very bad." Mo Xiangwen was silent for a moment before saying, "And there are risks involved."

He has many ways to make money, so there's really no need for him to take this risk.

Moreover, it's a game where the only revenue comes from advertising fees, the game only lasts for three days, and you still have to pay WeChat platform channel fees.

Besides, this game was only released on the second day, and there's no doubt that an identical version will be released on WeChat mini-program the very next day.

Not to mention, the platform already has a "jump" feature, so they just need to implement this promotional model.

Moreover, the promotional efforts of our own family are probably far greater than his.

You can earn a lot in the next day or two, but it won't reach astronomical figures.

It's not that he can't consider becoming a dragon, but if he knows what type of games will be popular in the future and how he can easily make money, this amount of money is really not enough to buy his conscience.

What he was even more worried about was that even if he became a dragon, he wouldn't earn much money and would end up doing all the work for someone else's benefit.

Wouldn't he lose a fortune? He got scolded and didn't make any money.

Old Li pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

With Mr. Li's insight, after careful consideration, he could certainly have foreseen the negative impacts of this model and understand how easily it could be replicated.

"But it was only a matter of time before this promotion method came to mind."

Yes, that's the problem. He didn't invent this promotion model.

So even if he doesn't do it, this model will still emerge.

"May I take a look?" Su Mengli suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Old Li shook his head and refused Su Mengli's request.

Although Mo Xiangwen and the Su sisters may be good friends, this is a student's personal property, and he has no reason to show it to others without permission.

Seeing Li Lao's reaction, Su Mengli felt a little regretful, but also realized that she might have been a bit too forward.

Su Mengli was about to apologize to Mo Xiangwen when she suddenly heard him speak.

"Let her see it," Mo Xiangwen said nonchalantly. "I trust them."

P.S.: Ah, I'm almost finished writing this development. Writing this was quite painful, but how can I run my own private internet cafe for group members if I don't?

Chapter 80: Choosing a Location for a Group of Friends' Online Gaming Trip

No wonder, no wonder Mr. Li praised his plan so highly; it was indeed unique and effective.

Just by imagining it, she could picture how the game manipulates people to click on share and ad clicks.

However, this design is really hard for people to accept.

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would come up with such... well, such an unfriendly game.

Su Mengli glanced at him, who was deep in thought, with a puzzled look, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt relieved.

That's true, he wasn't willing to bring it out at first either.

It's all Mr. Li's fault; he's so strict with the startup approval process.

"How about we lower the difficulty to reduce negative feedback from players?" Su Mengli suggested after thinking for a moment.

Mo Xiangwen was slightly taken aback. Reduce negative feedback?

However, this negative feedback is one of the main driving forces that trick players into clicking on ads and sharing. If negative feedback is reduced, fewer players will be willing to click on them.

What's even more frightening is that while you've reduced your supply, other manufacturers have increased it.

You bear the infamy, they make the money.

Unless, from another angle, players' desire to click is increased.

Unless, of course, other manufacturers lose their desire for this ill-gotten gain.

Suddenly, he remembered a common tactic that various manufacturers used in the past.

"...How about using the money earned from this game to do charity? To schools in remote areas, orphanages, or something like that."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiangwen felt a sense of relief.

Doing charity work? Everyone present was stunned, not expecting him to make such a decision.

"Using a portion of the proceeds for charity can indeed solve many problems."

“No, what I mean is, all the revenue from this game will go to charity,” Mo Xiangwen said with a light laugh. “I won’t keep a single penny.”
