There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 587 Mobile Payment and Overseas Offline Stores
"Super Mario: Odyssey" release day.

Switch became popular again.

Because on the same day, a new hot search appeared on the hot search list——'Future's offline store has a game console area. '

In fact, this is not surprising.

Because in addition to the gameplay, the social attribute of Switch is also the most prominent feature of this console.

Whether it is the design of the host or the game, they are all very distinctive.

prior to.

"Fitness Ring Adventure" became popular once because of the combination of fitness and games.

Although the heat passed, it was quickly forgotten.

But this has proved that the host of Switch is not only limited to the game circle, but also acceptable to ordinary people.

Future offline store is now hot again.

Offline stores attract more than just gamers.

There are also many ordinary people.

Linmu Studio just chose to put the console in the Future offline store at the time when the new game is released.

Plus player influence.

It can be said that the right time, place and people are harmonious.

It's really not surprising that the Switch has become popular.

This is also what Lin Yao has planned for a long time.

But for many people, this is still a very bizarre thing...

No.

Are you not YouMedia Technology Financing?
How to benefit Switch?
Many game companies that make mobile games are very confused.

Everyone is planning to flex their muscles in the field of mobile games.

Why did a Switch pop up all of a sudden?And suddenly became the representative of portable games?

This tm of Linmu Studio is definitely here to make trouble, right?

Yes.

With the emergence of the host area in the Future offline store, the topic fermented.

Now Switch is indeed more popular than mobile games.

It doesn't matter if you're genuinely interested or eye-catching.

In short.

During this period, both social media and mainstream video sites have frequently mentioned the Switch as a host.

Some made trial videos, some checked in on the spot, some introduced previous Switch games, some introduced the gameplay of this console, and some used this console to record the weight loss process...

And these people jointly created the popularity of Switch.

Then let more people join in this 'game of chasing heat'.

That day.

The comments Li Yu saw were not alone.

It is true that there are many ordinary people who have developed a strong interest in the host after trying it offline because of the novelty.

At this moment, the social attributes of Switch are fully revealed.

The influence brought by Future's offline stores is also fully revealed.

Most people, are happy with that.

Ordinary people have new social topics, plus they are really interested in this host, and they are happy to talk about related topics.

And the players are happy with this.

Because traditional games are back on the scene, and definitely not dead.

of course.

Most players still don't care about this, and what they are happiest about is the quality of the game "Super Mario: Odyssey".

What surprised them the most was still the quality of the game.

This is considered by many players to be a new game in the era of mobile games, where Switch decides life and death, and it did not disappoint at all.

Really... so awesome.

Inside Linmu Studio, they are also happy. Switch has become a hot topic, which has greatly boosted the sales of consoles and games.

Especially co-op games.

There has been a small increase in sales.

One can imagine who bought these games.

of course.

Some people are happy, some people are not happy.

For example, many game companies targeting mobile games are not very happy.

They really felt that Linmu Studio was here to make trouble!

Don't you make cell phones?

Why all the fanfare to let the Switch steal the show?
We still do this during the period of rapid development of Future S1.

Whether you want to play mobile games or not!

They can't figure it out.

The new shareholders of UMedia Technology also have some complaints about this.

Mainly two points.

The first is that the Future S1 offline store is logically an asset of Youmedia Technology, and Switch has nothing to do with Youmedia.

Although YouMedia's major shareholder is Linmu Studio, it does feel like using power for personal gain.

The second is that they also feel that now is the period of rapid development of Future S1.

Mobile games are also the development focus of Future S1.

After all, looking at the revenue, the Future Store draws a lot of money.

Therefore, many of these new shareholders do not like to see Switch very much.

I think the host is stealing the limelight.

Actually this is understandable.

After all, money was invested.

The financing of Linmu Studio is only UMedia Technology, of course they have to protect their own interests.

but.

Now Linmu Studio is still very strong, and Future S1 is also developing smoothly, so although they have some criticisms, they are not too excited.

The main thing is the dual shareholding structure, which greatly weakens their right to speak.

And capital, patience is still there.

But according to Zhang Youjie's words, this group of shareholders now tends to form a group, and they are already psychologically prepared to prevent Linmu Studio from doing anything wrong next time.

Lin Yao could understand this, but she was really speechless.

Although she was already mentally prepared.

It can only be said that fortunately, Linmu Studio is still in absolute control.

As for YouMedia...

Actually tell the truth.

Lin Yao is still confident that she can suppress these capitals.

As long as Future S1 can go all the way up.

Then no matter how they hold together, they can't stop her.

As for their claim that Switch will hinder the development of Future S1, that is even more nonsense. She is calmer than anyone else in the face of the current situation.

Although the Switch is very popular now, but the follow-up popularity has passed, the probability of the hosts purchased by users during this period of time is very high.

to be honest.

Social networking is just one of the attributes of the Switch console. After all, the console still plays games.

The main audience is still players.

As for the impact on the development of mobile games, that's even more unlikely. These are two different things.

The general trend of mobile games cannot be blocked by Switch.

The reason why Lin Yao put Switch in the Future offline store is not only for topic and sales, but mainly for overseas offline stores.

Zhang Youjie actually explained this.

But most of the new stockholders are skeptical.

can only say.

It will take some time to build trust with each other.

So Lin Yao can understand their actions in the early stage, and doesn't care too much about them.

At most, he was speechless for a while.

of course.

Do this again in the future.

Then don't blame her.

……

And just after YouMedia’s first financing, the board of directors ended.

Forest studio.

Lin Yao also completed the planned game plan.

Handed it over to the product department.

Back to the office again.

Lin Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally unloaded the stone in my heart.

It's really hard.

Especially the planning book for "Game Stars".

The gameplay of this game is simple, but it is necessary to determine which game characters appear, understand the history of the characters and their stories, and then choose a suitable attack method from them...

Really a big project.

But she had to.

Because there must be a direction for the project team and business departments to work hard.

You can't let them be like headless chickens and just play whatever role they talk about, right?

This is simply not possible.

and so.

During this period of time, Lin Yao was really in pain.

I stay in the office every day, either playing games or looking up information and code words.

It's like going to jail.

The only one who visits the prison every day is Mu Wanqing.

And every day when you let the wind go, you can only see Lin Xi...

Fortunately.

All the hard work is worth it.

Lin Yao has already set up the general framework of the game.

Next, it depends on the project team and business department.

She was temporarily relieved.

"Miss Mu, next time I don't want to play this kind of game again."

Lin Yao was lying on the table, her whole body was limp, as if she had lost all strength.

She was really exhausted.

"Know it."

Mu Wanqing stood aside, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help laughing: "I also read the planning book, this game is very difficult to make, but if it is really made, it is probably enough to leave a name in the history of the game, no matter what Will we make similar games in the future?"

"of course."

Lin Yao changed her posture and lay on her stomach facing Mu Wanqing's side, her soft face was squeezed, and matched with her lazy expression, she had a special charm, very alluring.

Mu Wanqing looked at it, couldn't help stretching out her hand, and lightly touched Lin Yao's delicate face on the other side.

Lin Yao shook her head lightly.

"If you lie on your stomach like this, there will be marks on your face."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently, then stretched out her hand to smooth the skirt, squatted down next to Lin Yao, looked at her lying on her stomach, and said softly, "Now you are a celebrity, isn't this appropriate?"

"What a stereotype you are."

Lin Yao looked at her and said lazily, "Am I not human? Can't I lie down when I'm tired?"

"Then when will you cheer up? I still have something to say." Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly.

"Wait a little longer."

Lin Yao closed her eyes: "You won't give me this little time, right?"

"..."

Mu Wanqing didn't speak.

Of course she would not force Lin Yao to get up.

However, she didn't get up herself, but looked at Lin Yao who was lying on the stomach in front of her.

Recently, with the arrival of midsummer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

So it was rare for Lin Yao to wear a skirt.

No occlusion.

Mu Wanqing could clearly see the perfect curve of her pair of snowy long legs under the table, and following the curve of her calf all the way down, the high-heeled sandals outlined a wonderful arc to the arch of her feet that she gripped tightly.

Really nice looking.

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was laying on her stomach with her eyes closed, she couldn't help sighing in a low voice, "You really fit into a dress..."

"Just like you are suitable for black silk?"

Lin Yao suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Mu Wanqing who was squatting in front of her, her black silk was tight, and a flesh-colored knee was exposed, she couldn't help laughing.

"It's more suitable than me."

Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly, then moved forward, resting her chin on the edge of the table, looking at Lin Yao's charming face.

"Then how about I change it with you?" Lin Yao put Xue Ni's long legs together, lifted them up slightly, and made a suggestion: "I haven't seen you wearing skirts other than skirts."

"Okay, as long as you want."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently, stretched out her hand to gently hold Lin Yao's slender calf, and subconsciously moved her head forward: "But you definitely don't want to."

Feeling the breathing on her face, Lin Yao slightly raised her snow-white thigh, her calf tensed.

call.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Only the faint sound of breathing remained.

Lin Yao felt her face itching, then adjusted her posture, and moved towards Mu Wanqing.

The two are very close.

Mu Wanqing lightly pursed her shiny red lips, then hesitated for half a second, then suddenly closed her eyes, and held Lin Yao's calf even harder.

"...I really don't want to."

Lin Yao smiled lightly, then straightened up suddenly.

Mu Wanqing: "..."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Yao said with a straight face: "This is the company, it's business..."

Then she paused, and continued in a low voice: "I'll talk about it later."

"What can we talk about later?"

Mu Wanqing suddenly tilted her head and turned against the general.

"I don't know! Let go of my legs, I'm ticklish."

Lin Yao lightly kicked Xue Ni's long legs under the table, then stretched out her hand to pull Mu Wanqing up: "Also, get up quickly."

Mu Wanqing held Lin Yao's hand, supported the table with the other hand, and stood up from the ground with a smile.

But after getting up, she didn't let go of Lin Yao's hand.

The two of them seemed...to understand each other very well.

Some window paper does get thinner and thinner as it gets along for a long time.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Lin Yao leaned on the back of the chair, changed into a comfortable position, and asked a question.

"PTCRB has passed, and other relevant certifications have passed."

Mu Wanqing gently took her hand, straightened her expression, and talked about business: "The store in Los Angeles is also closed."

"Oh?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard this: "Did those shareholders contribute?"

"En." Manwan nodded her head.

"Then it seems that they are still useful."

Lin Yao was a little happy.

The so-called PTCRB is actually an operator access certification. No matter what kind of mobile phone, whether it is in China or overseas, if you want to sell it, you cannot bypass the communication operator.

Lin Yao was actually preparing for overseas markets before the Future S1 conference.

The first batch of offline stores, in addition to domestic, actually also have overseas.

But the relevant certification is really too troublesome.

UMedia, which was born out of the North American branch of Linmu Studio, has always been uncertain.

Mainly just entered the game, the scale is not large.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yao decided to raise funds.

And now that the certification has passed, it means that the mobile phone can finally be sold overseas, at least in North America!
"Well, several suppliers are also interested in reaching a long-term contract with us, which is also the credit of the new shareholders."

Mandy nodded her head.

"That's the preparation."

Lin Yao thought for a moment and made up her mind: "Offline stores will open normally and sell normally, but our focus should not be on offline in the early stage. We still need to rely on Switch's sales channels to start online sales first."

"I understand that the marketing department on YouMedia is already connecting with us and Forest Tree Financial Holdings."

"That's good……"

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said happily: "Finally we can try to open up overseas markets, so apart from the press conference at the end of the year, we only have one thing to solve urgently."

"Which thing?" Mu Wanqing was a little curious.

"that is……"

Lin Yao was about to speak.

But next second.

Sudden……

Ding!
【Congratulations!Encouraging tasks, let the game fans of Linmu Studio have confidence in the future again! (Satisfaction reached over 90.00%, and the current satisfaction rate is 90.00% VII)——Mission completed! 】

【Congratulations!Get rewards - mobile phone-related research and development projects will receive accelerated BUFF】

【Congratulations!Considering the extraordinary performance of Linmu Studio (satisfaction rate 90.00% [-]), he will get an additional reward—the mobile payment system construction plan (to be received)]

【…】

Lin Yao looked at the words that appeared in front of her eyes, and was slightly startled.

"Lin Yao?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was suddenly dazed, feeling a little strange.

Lin Yao came back to her senses and continued: "That's... the construction of the mobile payment system!"

"Mobile payment?"

Mu Wanqing was a little puzzled.

Lin Yao withdrew her gaze from the translucent description in front of her, looked at Mu Wanqing, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, haven't many users said recently? It's too troublesome to buy paid apps in the Future Store."

"But there is no other way." Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment: "It is impossible for us to change the financial system."

"There is a way."

Lin Yao shook her head lightly, looked at the translucent explanation in front of her again, and continued: "It's just more troublesome and risky, but we can try it on a small scale first, from Linmu Studio, Linmo Financial Holdings and Youmedia According to our size, we still have a good chance of persuading them to connect with them...it just happens to be available at the end of the year."

"..." Mu Wanqing was even more puzzled.

Seeing Mu Wanqing's expression, Lin Yao knew that it would be difficult to explain clearly to her in a few words, so she smiled and explained in detail.

In fact, mobile payment.

Lin Yao has long wanted to build it.

But...it's really troublesome.

This trouble does not only come from within, but also from a higher level.

Finance has always been very sensitive.

Lin Yao's mobile payment in her previous life was so convenient in the end, it was the result of the joint efforts and regulation of several giants.

If the time is not up, do it rashly, in fact, mobile payment will not be much more convenient.

Give the simplest example.

The disconnected direct connection in her previous life—that is, the mode in which the third-party payment institution cut off the direct connection to the bank.

This means that no private company can take the initiative to advance.

And what will mobile payment look like before the direct connection is broken?

The third-party payment institution is directly connected to the bank.

This means that such third-party payment cannot monitor the real flow of funds and cannot figure out whether the transaction really exists...

It's a real hassle.

It is easy to be used illegally.

Rather, money is involved.

Nothing is troublesome.

Lin Yao has not made up her mind, because she is thinking of a solution.

Now that the system rewarded her, it gave her a little confidence and made him really make up his mind.

soon.

Lin Yao finished explaining.

After hearing this, Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she said in disbelief, "This..."

"It's convenient, isn't it?"

Lin Yao smiled: "The consumption is paid by the complicated online banking USB shield, which has become a virtual account."

Yes.

What Lin Yao intends to build is a virtual account payment system.

To put it simply, it was a mobile payment solution before she matured in her previous life.

A virtual account is an electronic wallet, essentially a prepaid card.

Now online banking payment still needs to plug in a U-shield or the like into the computer, and then enter a dynamic combination password.

But there are virtual accounts.

It will allow users, at least those who purchase Linmu Studio products, to directly enter the password to pay.

Mu Wanqing thought about it carefully, and asked, "But it's not easy to set up, right? In any case, the user's money must have a recharge step. If it also supports cash withdrawal, it will be even more troublesome..."

"Yes, so in order to solve this problem, we will be busy next. To make users more convenient, we will conduct business negotiations with the online banking systems of multiple banks one by one, and let them connect with our payment system."

Lin Yao explained: "It is necessary to open corporate accounts in multiple banks...in order to improve settlement efficiency and reduce settlement costs."

This is the difficulty of the first mover.

We must overcome obstacles.

In order to achieve a seemingly simple goal of Lin Yao's previous life.

"..." Mu Wanqing finally understood the mobile payment system that Lin Yao was talking about, and then couldn't help but gasped.

"Of course, trouble is trouble, but if it can really be built, I predict that it will amaze everyone by the end of the year..."

Lin Yao saw the rare cute expression on the face of Mu Wanqing, and smiled softly: "How is it? Are you confident?"

"Have."

Mu Wanqing came to her senses and nodded.

"Then get ready. Accompany me to YouMedia tomorrow, and then coordinate the three companies, and let people go to the bank for business negotiations. I'll be busy next time."

Lin Yao stood up: "If you want to go online at the end of the year, you will be even more busy. First, you need to coordinate internally, set up the payment system, set up the settlement department, then negotiate business, and then consider the announcement of the launch...

And you have to be prepared, no matter how good the plan is, there is a risk of breaking away from the plan. After all, ecology is mostly grown under the fierce market competition environment and the pressure of survival and development. "

"...I'm more worried about you."

Man Wanqing nodded, then looked at Lin Yao's face, hesitated for a moment: "Are you really busy?"

"It didn't work before."

Lin Yao shook her head, then glanced at the virtual translucent font, then focused on Mu Wanqing's face, and said with a smile, "But isn't there your help now?"

Man Wanqing pursed her red lips, and held her hand tightly: "..."

The sun shines on the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lin Yao turned her back to the sun and smiled brightly.

……

A week later.

Forest Studio formed a subdivision.

But this time it wasn't too noticeable.

Because Linmu Studio did not disclose what this sub-department is used for.

In addition, this is an internal matter of Forest Studio.

Linmu Studio is not on the market again.

So stop talking about outsiders.

Many of the staff of Linmu Studio don't know what this new department, separated from all product departments, does.

And at the same time.

The business department of Linmu Studio made an appointment with the main bank executives.

Lin Yao personally met with the other party.

And this meeting.

It also didn't make any waves.

but.

Lin Yao's goal has been achieved...

Because the annual turnover of Linmu Studio is terrible, the other party did not refuse Linmu Studio's request for online banking access, which is not too much.

of course.

This is just the main bank of the forest studio.

Next, the business negotiations with other banks are the most troublesome.

There is a long way to go...

Except for the frequent internal movements of Linmu Studio.

external.

Other companies are also doing a lot.

at last.

The popularity of Switch has subsided a little.

The many game companies who really thought that Linmu Studio would come to the Switch Wars mobile game finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can boldly advance other mobile game projects.

Although many of them don't want to admit it.

But every move of Linmu Studio did affect them.

And Linmu Studio has dual identities as the major shareholder of Youmedia and the leader of traditional games. After the first six mobile games, it has not launched a new mobile game.

So they are justified in worrying.

In fact.

Although the popularity of Switch has subsided slightly.

But many colleagues are still worried that Linmu Studio is not optimistic about mobile games.

And this situation lasted until then.

A player burst out.

The North American version of the Vaporwave game platform, there is a pre-order for Future S1!
Yes.

just now.

North America also supports online ordering of Future S1!
the same day.

The news of the official opening of the Future offline store in North America has been reported again!
The news was sudden.

It was fine yesterday.

the next day.

News of the opening has arrived!

Before everyone could react...the store was already open!
