Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 15
On the evening of July 10, Fang Zhe and fat man were chatting in the fat man\'s bedroom while waiting for the arrival of zero.
The reason why she chose to stay at the fat man\'s house is that Yang Xiuying is very strict with Fang Zhe\'s work and rest. If she is at home, it is impossible to allow him to stay up late. Fat man\'s parents and Fang Zhe\'s parents are old employees of the steel factory. After being laid off, they opened a clothing store in Qingxu. Now they have already gone to bed.
The hour hand and the pointer coincided at 12 o\'clock, and Fang zhe refreshed the simple statistical tool page made by himself in the computer browser. Here, you can intuitively see the registration number, revenue and other information of the two games submitted by Fang Zhe. Theoretically, the registration number is less than or equal to the download volume. Because it is a paid download game, you can also calculate the approximate revenue data.
As expected, like the previous refreshes, the number is still 0.
The fat man said nothing to Fang Zhe\'s behavior. He said, "ah Zhe, I think we should go to bed first. We\'ll see it tomorrow morning. How can anyone download it in the middle of the night?"
Fang zhe explained: "the official regulation is to start selling on the 11th. The time in New Zealand, Australia and Rb can be several hours faster than us."
"A few hours earlier, they were there in the early morning. There was no shop selling mobile phones in the early morning."
Fang zhe smiled at him and didn\'t speak. He also felt that what the fat man said was reasonable. When Apple\'s new machine came into market, all mobile phone retail stores basically opened at 8 a.m. It\'s really because this is the first time that I play games in the app store as an independent developer. I\'m inevitably excited and nervous.
"Wait another half an hour. Let\'s go to bed before 12:30. Although there may not be a new mobile phone on sale, iPhones in some regions should have received an iPhone 2.0 upgrade push. With an Appstore after the upgrade, it is also possible to download our games."
Fang zhe yawned. He stayed here with the fat man for several hours and brushed the page dozens of times. At first, the fat man was as excited and expectant as he was, eager for some changes in the numbers on the page.
Until dozens of times later, the fat man\'s expectations were almost worn away, and Fang zhe had no bottom in his heart.
When the clock reached 12:15, Fang zhe brushed the web page again, and all the numbers were still 0.
Fang zhe opens his iPhone and turns it around bored. His mobile phone is a prison break version. He can\'t receive the official iPhone 2.0 Upgrade Notice.
"I\'ll go to the bathroom. If there\'s no data back, let\'s go to bed." Fang zhe said. It\'s convenient to go to the bathroom.
The fat man sat where he left and subconsciously refreshed the web page again and again.
At this time, the data on the page changed. The number of registrations of stickhero game was 1 and the revenue was $0.99.
The fat man rubbed his eyes unbelievably and brushed the web page again until 1 and 0.99 appeared again on the web page. He shouted, "there, there!"
"Ah Zhe, come on, there\'s a download."
"There\'s a fee."
"The one who plays with the stick has a download."
"0.99 dollars!"
"According to the exchange rate of 1:7, that\'s nearly 7 yuan."
"Hurry up! Come and see!"
Fang Zhe, who had just peed half, seemed to have increased his horsepower. He hurried to finish, picked up his pants and ran to the fat man.
He took the mouse from the fat man and refreshed the page again. The bold numbers 1 and 0.99 still remained on the page.
Fang zhe couldn\'t hide his excitement. He said happily to the fat man, "fat man, man, it\'s going to be sent now."
Click and refresh the interface again and again, looking forward to the change of the number again.
"Isn\'t it? There\'s a download volume in the middle of the night. It\'s 7 yuan. If there are 10 downloads tomorrow, it\'s 70. If there are 100, it\'s 700. Calculated by 30 days a month, it\'s 21000."
"My God, this income directly hits many front-line white-collar workers." the fat man was more and more excited after calculating the account, and his eyes seemed to worship Fang Zhe.
Fang Zhe\'s excited heart was amused by his algorithm.
He explained: "that\'s not the case. The number of game downloads varies from day to day. In the first few days, there are fewer games in the app store, and the number of downloads may be higher. After a few days, there may be fewer games. Moreover, apple allows users to refund. If users feel it\'s difficult to play, the money is not ours."
"Shit, you can still play like this!" shouted the fat man.
"What if someone plays all the paid games one by one and refunds them if they are not fun?"
Fang zhe smiled: "do you think Apple officials are fools? 30% of the revenue of each application belongs to apple. Since it dares to formulate this policy, how can it be so easy for you to exploit loopholes? Malicious refunds will be blocked."
The fat man said in surprise, "thirty percent? This apple is very good at doing business. You take two yuan for each seven yuan. You earn more, he earns more."
"Yes, but I can\'t get any money without the Appstore channel it provides." Fang zhe explained. In his heart, he thought that due to the open source relationship of Android, the share of channel providers and developers at home and abroad is very different.
The foreign Google store is the only one, and it collects 30% of the profits from apple. In China, due to Google\'s withdrawal from China, all kinds of channels are chaotic, 30% and 50%, and the more ruthless channels take 70% directly, which is equivalent to developers working for channels in vain.
This also strengthened Fang Zhe\'s determination to be a channel and distribution. Now this part of China still belongs to the blue ocean. When he accumulated a little, he began to do it. Relying on his understanding of the games and applications of the fire in the future, he made a lot of money every minute at that time, which was like playing.
They chatted, but they were not slow. You and I kept refreshing the page.
It was already 12:30, but they were as excited as beating chicken blood.
Just after the pointer reached 1 o\'clock, the number on the freshly refreshed page changed again.
The number of stickhero registrations is 3 and the income is $2.97. The data of flappybird is still 0.
Both of them stared at the numbers on the screen. Just now, some calm mood fluctuated again.
"US $2.97"
"Is it converted into RMB?"
"No, I have to get a calculator to calculate," said the fat man. He opened the calculator on the computer and entered 2.97 * 7. When the equal sign was pressed, the number in the calculator became 20.79.
"20 yuan seventy-nine cents"
"I calculate. It\'s less than an hour in the past. Three downloads are calculated according to 24 hours a day. That\'s 24 times 3, which is 72 downloads."
"72 times 0.99 equals 71.28."
"71.28 times 7, that\'s 498 yuan and 96 cents."
"Put aside 30% for apple, it\'s less than 350 yuan."
At this time, the fat man, disguised as an accountant and a financial fan, calculated Fang Zhe\'s income every minute.
"I\'m reliable enough. It\'s just the beginning of the night. In less than an hour, there are three downloads. In the future, more and more people download during the day, that is to say, you earn at least 400 yuan today."
"My God!" the fat man patted his thigh in surprise.
"It\'s enough for my living expenses for more than half a month."
"No, you have to treat tomorrow. You have to make up for the loss of staying up late with you. I stay up late and settle accounts. How many brain cells have died."
The fat man continued to talk. Fang zhe laughed and said, "when the money comes, I\'ll treat you to a big meal."
It\'s also funny. Fat people have spent twenty or thirty thousand on games in recent years, but their monthly living expenses are less than one thousand. It can be described as a full game dead powder. Fang zhe knows that there are many people like fat people in the world. Even if Fang zhe himself spends less, he has invested thousands of yuan in the game over the years.
It is precisely because of the huge profits in the game industry that a large flow of users like Tencent can turn a large number of users into money, from DNF to CF to lol, King glory and so on. I don\'t know how many people\'s money has been "pit".
The reason why she chose to stay at the fat man\'s house is that Yang Xiuying is very strict with Fang Zhe\'s work and rest. If she is at home, it is impossible to allow him to stay up late.
