The Proud Life of Rebirth

"Oh? Let's hear it." Mo Shaokun looked at him with interest.

Shangguan Lei shyly said: "Well, I...Ruirui and I are planning to get married on Christmas, and I want to ask Shao Mo to be our witness. If Shao Mo hadn't acted out of righteousness, I'm afraid Ruirui and I wouldn't have There is today."

Mo Shaokun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "This is a good thing, don't worry, I will definitely come when the time comes!"

"Thank you, Young Master Mo." Shangguan Lei said gratefully.

Mo Shaokun waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so polite, by the way, the people from the Sun family are not making things difficult for you, are they?"

Shangguan Lei shook his head and said: "No, Ruirui has moved out to live with me since what happened last time, and no one from the Sun family has ever come to trouble us. Ruirui has always been very grateful for your help, Shao Mo. To tell you the truth, please be a witness, which is what Ruirui meant, she said that you gave us the chance to be together, so I hope you can witness our wedding."

"It's okay, what is Nangong Rui doing now?" Mo Shaokun asked.

Shangguan Lei said: "Ruirui works in a biological research institute, and is currently conducting research on a human genetic subject. I haven't seen her for a week."

Mo Shaokun nodded, and said why he hadn't seen Nangong Rui in the past few days. He didn't expect Nangong Rui to be a talented woman.

Raising his wrist to check the time, Mo Shaokun got up and said, "Let's go, call everyone and I'll treat you to a big meal at noon today."

"Oh yeah, it's too tight."

"Mr. Mo, you are so generous."

"..."

Several people in the studio cheered. In fact, they didn't care about the meal. What they enjoyed was Mo Shaokun's attitude towards them. It wasn't like some bosses were so indifferent to their employees. Compared with those bosses, they were so indifferent. Kun obviously has a lot of humanity. In the past few days, Mo Shaokun will discuss the game with them, discuss a certain task or the plot of the dungeon together, without any airs of the boss.

A group of people took four cars and headed straight to a high-end restaurant in downtown New York. Mo Shaokun had already called to reserve the best seat when they set off. The big guys happily sat together while eating and chatting. Now they I am very glad that I chose to join this team, which is much better than when they were in other companies.

Moreover, the game designed by Mo Shaokun seems to have opened a window for them. As game producers, they can feel more deeply than Long Yufei how this game will be in today's era of lack of Internet entertainment. Hot!

And they are some of the creators of this game, and their team will be known because of this game in the future, this is their highest pursuit.

"By the way, what is the progress of the other version?" During the dinner, Mo Shaokun asked.

At the beginning, after analyzing with Shangguan Lei, he and Shangguan Lei decided to use a framework of two games, one for the Chinese market and the other for the European and American markets.

Shangguan Lei put down his knife and fork and said: "Now that the game framework has been basically completed, the following is easy to talk about. It is nothing more than changing the plot, scene, and characters. The main core is still the same. We have already started to make overseas versions. There won’t be any problem with having both versions on the market at the same time.”

Mo Shaokun nodded and didn't say anything else. This game was his first entry into the Internet. He placed great expectations on this game. In order to make the game more attractive, he incorporated elements of many classic games from later generations into the game. combined into it.

"Shaokun, how do you plan to operate this game after it's released in the future?" Long Yufei asked while drinking soup.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and said, "The game will be bundled with ICQ, and the game itself will be open to all netizens for free."

"Free?" Hearing Mo Shaokun's words, not only Long Yufei, but also Shangguan Lei and others were surprised.

"Yes, free. Only free things in this world are the most attractive. Free operation will bring us more users."

"But we spent so much effort and invested so much money to operate for free in the end, this...isn't this a contribution to the players in vain?" Long Yufei frowned.

The corners of Mo Shaokun's mouth turned up slightly, showing a strange arc, and said: "Contributions for nothing? How come?"

Before Long Yufei opened his mouth, he continued: "We have lowered the entry threshold of the game, which will attract more game users, and we have adopted the bundled operation of games and ICQ. If you want to play games, you must first register for ICQ. Account becomes an ICQ user, and instant messaging software will be one of the mainstream tools of the Internet in the future. It is foreseeable that there will be many similar software in the near future, and customers are the foundation of survival of instant messaging software! We use free games Attracting a large number of gamers to become ICQ users, let users get used to our software first, which will increase our competitiveness in the market in the future, and at the same time, when our next game is launched, the huge number of ICQ users can repay the game.”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, didn't I ask Shangguan and the others to develop game props? Although our game is free, these props are charged. Buying or not is entirely up to the user's own wishes. We don't force them. Consumption, but I believe this will be more profitable than direct fee operation!"

"Is this impossible? Who would buy game props if you can play for free?" Long Yufei said.

Mo Shaokun smiled and said: "You have overlooked the most important point, human beings' sense of competition! Everyone hopes that they can be the focus of attention, but in the real world, it is difficult for many people to achieve this goal, but in online games. Provide them with this opportunity. Countless players gather together, and everyone wants to be better than the other, but how can they be better than the other? That is to buy our game props to make upgrading easier and getting equipment easier!"

Lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, Mo Shaokun looked at Long Yufei and asked, "Let's take you as an example, when you fought the boss today, you were just a little bit close to killing it, but you failed in the end." Now, if there are resurrection items on sale in the game store at this time, will you buy a resurrection item?"

Long Yufei thought for a while and said: "Yes! It's a pity that I almost gave up so little. If the value of the resurrection item does not exceed the boss itself, then I think I will buy it!"

"Isn't this the end? You all have this idea, let alone someone else?" Mo Shaokun laughed.

Long Yufei and the others were silent, and after a long time, everyone's eyes were bright.

Shangguan Lei stretched out his thumb to Mo Shaokun and said in admiration: "Mo Shao, maybe you are a layman in game production, but you are an expert in marketing! Several games on the market now use point card fees or The monthly fee model, free operation is definitely an attractive weapon! And you are right, people have a desire to compare themselves, and if you can spend some money to make yourself stronger than the people around you, you can show off in front of others. I believe many people would be willing to spend."

Mo Shaokun nodded and said: "Yes, this is the root of human weakness and our source of income. But Shangguan, there is one thing you have to grasp. The game props should not be too dirty, and they must not break the balance of the game. Users who don’t spend money see hope, otherwise they will lose confidence and give up the game after playing.”

"I understand this. We can also set a certain burst rate in the game for some game props, but they are relatively low and difficult to obtain. In this way, players who don't spend money can get them with a waste of time and energy."

Mo Shaokun was not talking, and looked at Shangguan Lei with a little appreciation in his eyes. It was really the right choice to choose him at the beginning. This guy's brain is very good, and he can figure out the key points with just a little flick.

As for the future of free operation of the game?Mo Shaokun is not worried at all, as someone who has experienced it, he knows very well that the ability to attract money from free games is far more terrifying than paid games!

There is always a shortage of guys who are not short of money and like to show off in this world. There are also a lot of gamers who spend hundreds of thousands or millions in a game in the later generations. These people are simply big fat sheep.

Chapter 1122

Two days later, Mo Shaokun left New York for San Francisco.

Long Yufei was in charge of the game company, so he didn't have to worry at all. Although Long Yufei was inexperienced, Su Junbo, a veteran in shopping malls, was there to help.

In addition to talking with Su Junbo, another reason for coming to the United States this time is to discuss cooperation with the Gao family.

Before he came, he had already contacted the Gao family. When the plane arrived in San Francisco, a luxury convoy had already been waiting on the tarmac for a long time.

Being able to drive the convoy directly into the tarmac is enough to prove the influence of the Gao family or the Chinese gang in the local area, and it can also be seen that the Gao family attaches great importance to Mo Shaokun.

In any case, Mo Shaokun can be regarded as a benefactor of the Gao family. Although he mainly wanted to save Yin Fei and only helped the Gao family by the way, no matter what his starting point was, the result was that the Gao family owed him a debt. Great kindness.

When Mo Shaokun got off the plane with the crowd, all the passengers looked at the luxury convoy in amazement, they knew that the one who could have such a ostentation must be a big shot.

Soon they saw a guy in his thirties with shoulder-length hair walking towards him with a smile on his face, and a young man in his early 20s who was on the same flight as them also walked towards him.

For a moment, everyone focused on Mo Shaokun, who is this guy?Such a big spectrum?

"Long time no see." Xu Feng stretched out his hand to Mo Shaokun.

With a slight smile on Mo Shaokun's face, he stretched out his hand and shook him lightly.

The two got into a Rolls-Royce in the middle, and Mo Shaokun said, "Is it necessary to make such a big show? It's really giving me face."

Mo Shaokun is not a person who likes to show off. He has always been relatively low-key in his work. He hates naked exposure in front of others and makes everyone stare at him. It will make him feel insecure.

Xu Feng frowned and said, "Why? Are you still not satisfied with such a grand ceremony?"

Mo Shaokun shook his head and said, "It's not dissatisfaction, it's just that I'm not used to it."

Xu Feng laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm actually not used to it. The Chinese Gang has always kept a low profile. Usually, even if the old man goes out, he has never put on such a big show. But this time, the old man ordered him to say yes. Thank you for your help to the Gao family and the Chinese Gang last time."

"How is Mr. Gao?" Mo Shaokun asked.

"It's not bad. After solving the big trouble of Chen Dongsheng, the old man's spirit is much better than before, and the current Chinese gang is different from before." Xu Feng said.
