Chapter 21 News from afar
With these generous advertising revenues, Wanxiang Technology is not particularly well-known in the entire Internet.
But it does not prevent Wanxiang Technology from living a very prosperous life in the industry.
The game Wanxiang Dance is still full of controversies, but this does not prevent the game from gradually rising in popularity.
Nowadays, many young players playing Wanxiang Dance have appeared in domestic Internet cafes.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
This sound of hard tapping on the keyboard is often heard in Internet cafes.
The Internet cafe owners couldn't help but frown when they saw such crazy game users.
Other online game technology companies were also dumbfounded after obtaining the corresponding game data.
To be honest, in the eyes of these online game technology companies, the game Wanxiang Xuanwu should not have any chance of becoming popular, but the reality slapped them hard in the face.
The game Wanxiang Dance is not only popular, but its popularity is still rising day by day. At the same time, some online game companies estimate that the game Wanxiang Dance is likely to reach the level of go-karts.
"Xu Cong, how come you have such a big head? Even though the industry is not optimistic about it, you can actually make an online game such a hit."
As Xu Cong's former boss, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion when watching the increasingly popular Wanxiang Xuanwu.
At the same time, looking at the downward trend of daily active users of Kart last month, we also understand the impact of Wanxiang Dance on other games in the industry.
Wanxiang Dance itself is a casual music game, and like karting, it is a game that focuses on leisure and entertainment.
Although the two games are not of the same genre, there are still some very similar aspects.
It’s also a charge for props!
It’s also a multi-player competition on the same platform!
In addition to the different gameplay, there are many similarities in the operation methods.
The popularity of one game will inevitably affect the popularity and daily active online users of another game.
This time, the Vientiane Dance is essentially a competitive relationship with the kart game.
Chen Mu has also enriched his company's internal employees, conducted in-depth development of the game, and at the same time attracted more potential users to enter the game in terms of event operations.
Within Penguin Company, the gradual improvement of Vientiane Chat has also begun to gradually affect Penguin Chat’s position in the market.
But in the face of such rapid growth of Wanxiang Chat, Penguin Chat has no room to fight back.
In order to allow the company to create corresponding revenue as soon as possible and convert social application chat traffic into economic benefits, Penguin Technology Company has begun to gradually invest in game research and development.
The first game that Penguin imitated was karting.
This game is also the first game produced by Xu Cong, the boss of Wanxiang Technology.
Even Brother Xiao Ma had to lament that his company and Wanxiang Technology will always have some inextricable connections.
Time is coming gradually, and it’s May.
Cook, the head of a fruit company far overseas, unexpectedly announced a very eye-catching news during an interview with the media.
"On the personal computer of the late Mr. Jobs, the former chairman of the company, we found a mobile communication device similar to MP4 designed by Mr. Jobs!"
"Although many of the design drafts are still conceptual designs, these designs have given our company's engineers a lot of inspiration. Maybe in the future our fruit company will make this unfinished product of Steve Jobs!"<
/p>
During the interview, Cook told reporters about the wealth left by former chairman Steve Jobs with a touch of excitement in his eyes.
Of course, although this news caused a commotion in the technology industry, the impact was nothing more than the residual power left by the legendary figure "Jobs".
Even many technology companies did not take what Cook said completely to heart and just listened to it as a story.
But Xu Cong attaches great importance to this.
The Steve Jobs of this dimension died at least a few years earlier, and he passed away early before bringing the fruit phone to this world.
If Steve Jobs had died a few years later, even if he had not launched the fruit phone himself, relying on the influence of Jobs and his fruit company, he would have at least been able to completely finalize a series of projects and production lines.
In this way, even after Jobs's death, his successor can continue to make Guozi mobile phones by relying on corresponding projects and production lines, and ultimately bring this product that changes the mobile device revolution to the world.
As for Cook's move, Xu Cong still attaches great importance to it and even has his own understanding.
Now Cook is announcing this news in front of the public. On the one hand, it is to increase the attention of the fruit company, thereby increasing the popularity of the fruit company, and ultimately making the stock price of the fruit company active.
But it is undeniable that the fruit company may really want to make a "fruit phone".
"Fruit Phone" is a representative of the era when functional phones are transformed into smart phones. The release of this product has brought a good reputation to the fruit company, and even made the fruit company become a giant in the technology industry.
Although Cook is not a technician, he still has the vision as the chairman of the company.
Cook could clearly sense what a treasure the preview of the "Fruit Phone" left by Jobs was.
Not to mention that there are many excellent technical personnel from all over the world within the fruit company.
Xu Cong believes that their vision will not be much worse.
According to the current situation, the fruit company is likely to start this project in the near future.
According to the current R&D strength of the fruit company, it will probably take a certain amount of time to make this product.
In the short term, the product can be produced within two years; in the long term, it may take three or even four years.
"It seems like I don't have much time left. I have to take action as soon as possible! I have to get in front of the fruit company."
Faced with such sudden news, Xu Cong couldn't help but become a little nervous.
This news from the fruit company put a lot of pressure on Xu Cong.
These pressures mainly come from time pressure.
Making mobile communication equipment is easier said than done, but also extremely difficult.
Xu Cong can completely acquire a copycat mobile phone manufacturer and make a copycat functional phone.
However, the materials used in today’s copycat mobile phones are all materials that cannot be used on feature phones.
MediaTek’s chip! The overall performance can only meet the daily operation of functional muscles.
Nowadays, the chips on copycat phones basically only have the most common low-frequency and low-performance CPU modules, plus simple audio and radio frequency modules.
As for the GPU, ISP, and NPU modules on smartphones, they don’t exist at all.
This also means that the chip of a copycat phone cannot truly control the system of a smartphone, and even the functions of many smartphones and mobile phones cannot be realized with the support of this chip.
Secondly, the screen, so now some manufacturers can launch some touch screen feature phones, but these screens are resistive screens, not the capacitive screens used in smartphones.
Although the resistive screen can be touched, the response speed is slow and multi-finger control is not possible. At the same time, strong pressure is required to achieve real screen response.
Capacitive screen can be said to be a major feature of smartphones, which can bring smoother touch operations to mobile phones. This operation can directly distinguish functional phones from smartphones.
Secondly, sensors, Bluetooth chips, WIFI module chips, etc., these components required for smartphones are all challenges for Xu Cong.
Xu Cong now has the technology to manufacture these components, but Xu Cong lacks time to do it, and he also lacks more funds to invest in production and research and development.
Of course, these components are currently being developed by some top technology companies, but Xu Cong naturally knows whether these technology companies are willing to make Xu Cong-standard components and sell them to Xu Cong.
Guozi Mobile can conduct real interviews. On the one hand, the fruit company can propose such concepts and establish projects as much as possible.
At the same time, on the other hand, fruit companies also have very strong control and say in the upstream supply chain. Even in the early years, most of the manufacturing standards for smartphone components were formulated by fruit companies.
It can even be said that some other early smartphone manufacturers were just following the fruit companies.
"Some classic games need to be launched quickly to expand the company's influence in the software market and obtain more funds!"
"At the same time, the company also needs to start developing some corresponding mobile phone software and applications, and the most important thing is to develop an operating system!"
"As for other aspects, leave it to fate!"
After retracting his thoughts, Xu Cong also needs to start accelerating the company's entry into the Internet industry.
After all, the entire economy is now focused on the Internet.
What Xu Cong needs to do is to use the opportunity to help the company accumulate more funds, so that Xu Cong can run other businesses.
Soon, Wanxiang Technology started to move.
The first thing planned is to expand the size of the company and recruit more talents.
Of course, this matter will have to wait until the Fantasy Westward Journey game is officially launched and the company has completely established a reputation in the market before it is qualified to compete with other companies for talents.
At the same time, Xu Cong also decided to relax his recruitment bottom line and strive to recruit more people to work in his company.
Even if they lack corresponding experience, Xu Cong is willing to lead this group of employees to improve their work strength.
After recruiting more talents, the company will launch a multi-directional project development plan.
Game project!
Software ecological project!
As well as the research and development of the "Taixu" operating system and the development of related applications!
Chapter completed!
