【199】Hold your thigh

Zhang Yang was going to Jiangning to film "Chrysanthemum Platform" on Wednesday night, so he met Su Cheng on Tuesday night.

Based on Lin Yiran's age, Su Hui is at least over 35 years old, but if you only look at her appearance, she looks less than 30 years old. Although Su Cheng is her younger brother, she looks older than her and has a mature demeanor of a middle-aged man.

Zhang Yang called Lin Yiran's parents as uncle and aunt, so he was somewhat embarrassed to call Su Cheng. He was embarrassed to follow Lin Yiran and called "uncle" directly, so he simply called him "you".

Su Cheng didn't care about these things. After ordering the dishes, he went straight to the topic and asked Zhang Yang why he was so optimistic about the mobile game market.

Zhang Yang was not optimistic about it, but he had read it, but naturally he couldn't say it explicitly, and he was even more embarrassed because if he had no confidence in his opinion and instead tried to persuade Lin Yiran's parents, it would be a problem.

He had considered this question in advance and smiled: "Actually, I don't know much about games. I say I'm optimistic about mobile games, but it's more accurate to say I'm optimistic about the popularization of smartphones. Now, home computers and personal computers are already popular, but there is still a big gap between having one. However, after the popularization of smartphones, it can really be as good as the number of users of potential mobile games. It's really hundreds of millions of users. With such a large market, it's not a bad thing to make some preparations in advance."

Smartphones are undoubtedly a big cake for game manufacturers. Su Cheng obviously paid attention to it and thought about it: "As far as I know, the global shipment of smartphones last year was only 40 million units, and this year's growth is quite large. The shipment volume in the first half of the year was basically the same as last year, but even so, it is too early to say that the public is popularized?"

The total population of the two worlds is not very different. In Zhang Yang's impression, the peak of smartphone shipments in his previous life was around 16 and 17 years, with nearly 1.5 billion units a year. However, it was nearly ten years since the first smartphone was released.

In this world, smartphones only appeared in the second year last year, and the shipments of 40 million were in a normal stage of development.

"The price is too high. When a smartphone has a very good experience of one or two thousand yuan, or even a thousand yuan phone, it will usher in a real explosive period, but it may be too late to start the layout at that time."

Su Cheng stared at Zhang Yang with interest and asked with a smile: "How long do you think the explosion period you mentioned will come?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "How can I know this? But according to my own ideas, it should usher in the peak period as early as two or three years, or at the latest four or five years, and then the global smartphone shipment volume should exceed one billion."

Su Cheng frowned, and Lin Yiran was also shocked by the numbers Zhang Yang said, staring at him, Zhang Yang smiled at her.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "As for this reason, you should make a mobile phone, what other games are you doing?"

"The investment in mobile phones is too large and without R&D is difficult to stand firm. However, if you have funds, you can buy more Hongmeng Company's stocks and inject capital. Or, take advantage of the outbreak period to build an assembly brand, focusing on cost-effectiveness, and maybe you can also make a Fortune 500 in the world."

"I know it's a bit unrealistic to say this, but I do think that smartphones are the biggest change since the emergence of the Internet, and may also be the biggest trend in the past and next decade. You must have had surveys and understanding of smartphones, data or industry specific analysis. You know more than me, so I won't show off my skills."

Zhang Yang didn't dare to talk more about this topic, and smiled and changed the topic. "I have played some games before. When I was bored, I had conceived a game myself. I wrote it out two days ago. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhang Yang looked at Lin Yiran. Lin Yiran had already seen the game concept called "League of Legends" on the way. She didn't play games, and she didn't think there was anything good about this game. Seeing that Zhang Yang really wanted to show it to her uncle, her eyes widened, revealing the look of "You really want to show it to him?"

"oh?"

Su Cheng laughed silently, obviously not taking it seriously. He got married late and his children are still young. For a long time, he treated his niece as his daughter. He had already learned about Zhang Yang in all aspects and recognized his talent in music, poetry and novels.

But when it comes to making games... these are two completely different areas.

However, Su Cheng had a good impression of Zhang Yang. Even Zhang Yang's boastful talk just now did not affect his impression of him. It is normal for a young man to be a little arrogant. He smiled and said, "Then let me see."

Lin Yiran took out the document and handed it to Su Cheng. Su Cheng took it over and saw that the four words "League of Legends" were printed on the home page.

Game background: Runeland planets, magic is everything. Magic is not just a mysterious concept of energy, it is a semi-entimental substance that can be guided, formed, shaped and operated...

There are several continents in the Runeland, but all life is concentrated in the largest magical continent, Valorland...

Su Cheng skipped the background introduction directly and continued to look down. He saw that it was the hero introduction and the Summoner's Canyon floor plan. Although he could only glance at it in a hurry, he could feel that it was indeed a little surprised.

However, for a game, this is not the core, so Su Cheng didn't care too much and jumped directly to the game introduction later.

The game is completely free.

Props charge, the main charge is skins.

Spending money will never affect the game's victory or defeat.

Reduce the difficulty of getting started and emphasize teamwork.

Establish regional leagues in major regions around the world and hold global events.

Su Cheng looked up at Zhang Yang. Lin Yiran was about to speak, but Su Cheng lowered his head again and started from scratch. Lin Yiran didn't understand where this game is good, but looking at his uncle's attitude, he also knew that he seemed to be in a low position in the game Zhang Yang "written" and turned to Zhang Yang, blinking his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to make this game?"

Zhang Yang nodded, Lin Yiran pouted and rolled his eyes, obviously a little dissatisfied with his inappropriate career.

The waiter started serving dishes one after another, but Su Cheng only looked at the game plan. Lin Yiran asked him to have a meal first, but he ignored it. He just waved his hand and said, "You eat first, don't worry about me."

Zhang Yang was originally a little worried that Su Cheng would not agree with the free mode. Seeing that he was really watching seriously, he was relieved. Seeing Lin Yiran glaring at him and returning a handsome smile, Lin Yiran kicked him under the table angrily. Zhang Yang kicked him back. She shrank her feet and made a proud expression at him.

Su Cheng didn't notice the flirting between the two, but realized that he was so arrogant that he couldn't move his chopsticks, so he barely ate a few bites and said, "If you eat yours, you will be a family sooner or later, don't be dissatisfied... This idea is good, I'll think about it again."

Lin Yiran was a little shy when she saw her uncle say this, but she was still happy. She looked up and signaled us to eat first.

Su Cheng looked and ate while asking, "The heroes you conceived are good, but they seem to be a little simpler, and there are only six equipment bars, isn't it a little too small?"

"The equipment bar is to limit the later stage and to balance. In this way, even if one side falls behind, there will be no hope. The six pieces of equipment in the later stage are full, it depends on the lineup and cooperation."

Zhang Yang explained seriously, "Only by reducing the difficulty can we promote it. The number of players is the basis of the league. As long as the player is active, the benefits will naturally be available. Many mechanisms are hidden. It is easy to get started, and you need to study it carefully if you are proficient."

"Human-machine, matching, ranking, and big fights. Four regular modes are for players with different interests. In addition, some interesting modes can be launched regularly. There is no need to worry about this. The main thing is to make the game as soon as possible and then promote it."

Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "But it's free..."

He shook his head and said, "It's still a bit too ideal and too risky to make a lower price just by relying on props."

"As long as you charge, it is the threshold. Although the copyright awareness is good now, it is mainly because the country cracks down on piracy. If it can be free, most people are still willing to enjoy free resources. If they want to run a league, they must be free."

"Do you think the game can be done?"

"This is hard to say, but you have to work hard in this direction. If this game cannot be played, the game will be meaningless."

Su Cheng pondered for a while before asking again: "I am also an amateur in this matter, and I have to go back and discuss with the company's people... In this way, since we are a family sooner or later, we should not beat around the bush. If this game is feasible, do you want to sell it or buy a stock?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course, it's a stockholder, but if you want to run the World League, you have to consider ideological issues. This is also because many settings are based on Western backgrounds and technical strength. I'm not sure how much your company can do now."

In another world, the Riot Company where League of Legends is located is held by Tencent, and most of the shares of Tencent are held by foreign capital, and many of the foreign capital have been acquired by Chinese companies one after another. The relationship is so complex that it can make most ordinary people like Zhang Yang dizzy.

According to Zhang Yang's idea, if there is a risk of being suppressed by hegemony, similar methods can be used to avoid it. The profits can be divided into parts, firmly grasp the equity and grasp the decision-making power.

The Su family was born in traditional manufacturing and later gradually turned to heavy industry. Although the influence was not as good as that of the top wealthy families like Chu, Ge, and Jiang, they were also traditional and prominent. They accumulated over several generations, had connections, and energy that should not be underestimated.

However, due to ideological concerns, Zhang Yang still wants to attract more people to join the team. The backstage is strong enough, so that the subsequent game promotion and competition system will be held more smoothly.

Of course, there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. At least we must reach a preliminary cooperation intention with Su Cheng before we can make specific plans.

Su Cheng did not ask Zhang Yang to wait too long. Two days later, on the way to film "Chrysanthemum Platform" in Jiangning, he received a call from Su Cheng, saying that he had decided to "do it".
